Ham v Cat

So, a Priest & a Rabbi ...

A Priest and a Rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane. After a while, the Priest turned to the Rabbi and asked, “Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?” The Rabbi responded, “Yes, that is still one of our laws.” The Priest then asked, “Have you ever eaten pork?” To which the Rabbi replied, “Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.” The Priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading. A while later, the Rabbi spoke up and asked the Priest, “Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?” The Priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.” The Rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?” The Priest replied, “Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my faith.” The Rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five minutes. Finally, the Rabbi said,   “Beats the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?” Uncle Frank

20 inches! I can't take it! - Madonna

It's begun. They're calling for 20" here, and 40-50 MPH winds tomorrow.  That pretty much guarantees a major power outage.  I dug through to my generator, but no amount of fiddling got it to start. I think it's been 5 years since I last used it.  By my calculations, a quart of Jack will put me into a 4-5 day coma, and 4-5 days closer to Spring.  Thank you Mr. Daniels.  Or, I can build the mother of all snow forts.  Yes!  USA UAS USA!

Wall-to-wall corruption

How many companies get endorsed by the president of the United States?

Add "Teapot Dome" to the list of scandals the Obama Administration has parallels with.

Serious Materials is little window company that's "booming," says Fortune. "On a roll," according to Inc. magazine, which put Serious' CEO on its cover, with a story titled: "How to Build a Great Company".  Wow, great story of the little engine what could, wot?   Not quite sash breath. “ Vice President Joe Biden appeared at the opening of one of its plants. CEO Kevin Surace thanked him for his "unwavering support." "Without you and the recovery ("stimulus") act, this would not have been possible," Surace said. Biden returned the compliment: "You are not just churning out windows; you are making some of the most energy-efficient windows in the world. I would argue the most energy-efficient windows in the world." Gee, other window-makers say their windows are just as energy efficient, but the vice president didn't visit them. ” When the CEO said that opening his factory wouldn't have been possible without the Obama administration, he may have known something we didn't. Last month, Obama announced a new set of tax credits for so-called green companies. One window company was on the list: Serious Materials. This must be one very special company. But wait, it gets even more interesting, says John Stossel in his Real Clear Politics report.   “ On my Fox Business Network show on "crony capitalism", I displayed a picture of administration officials and so-called "energy leaders" taken at the U.S. Department of Energy. Standing front and center was Cathy Zoi, who oversees $16.8 billion in stimulus funds, much of it for weatherization programs that benefit Serious. The interesting twist is that Zoi happens to be the wife of Robin Roy, who happens to be vice president of "policy" at Serious Windows. Of all the window companies in America, maybe it's a coincidence that the one which gets presidential and vice presidential attention and a special tax credit is one whose company executives give thousands of dollars to the Obama campaign and where the policy officer spends nights at home with the Energy Department's weatherization boss. ” Ay-yi-yi

Don's Bunny

Hi Boys & Girls It's Bunnies and Puzzles day

Chief Barn Army Scout Don M sent this picture.  Taken during this year's Great Bunny Roundup in Big Sky Country (cowboys load up on pet bunnies to keep them company through the harsh winters).   But that's not what Don wants to tell us about.  This is. An evolving, county-by-county unemployment map of the US over the past two years. Make of it what you will.  What I noticed was how the area around Washington DC manages to retain its harlequinned majesty.  Must be Gaia's chosen people, wot?
