You picked a fine time to lead us, Lucifer

Catchy. Fun. Spot on.

Who thinks this stuff up?

What odd times.

The most hated newspaper in the country is ___  ___ ____ _____ The most hated college basketball team in the country is ____ If you answered "The New York Times," and "Duke," we're copacetic  First the Times.  We have here a story,  claiming that the paper is about to "go public with a list of names of Americans covertly working in Afghanistan providing force protection  for our troops." That's so nuts, I'm really having trouble believing it.  I genuinely felt NYT publisher Pinch Sulzberger, and responsible editors, should have been tried for treason after they printed details of how we were tracking al-Qaeda via bank transactions, which led to the terrorists altering that behavior.    Something like this would call for arrest, trial, and summary execution.  But then, they're probably being fed the information via the White House, so fat chance.    The second WTF? is this A Nike campaign only a Blue Devil could love Duke haters will be buying Adidas sneakers from now until the 2010-11 season tips off. In honor of the Blue Devils capturing their fourth national championship last week in Indianapolis, Nike has launched an ad campaign bearing the slogan "Order has been restored." Not my order.

Peacocks

Dads

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 66).   We decided to grab a bite at the food court.   I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting across from him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colours - green, red, orange, and blue.   My dad kept staring at him.   The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time.   When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked: “What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?” Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; I knew he would have a good one!   In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid …………   “Got drunk once and fucked a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.” Tim W

A day at the beach

We've all been here

This is supposed to be a German geezer, with too many Schnapps in his belly, trying to wear his pants as a shirt.  I don't know why, but it reminded me of the Kitty Genovese.  Bastids. I guess, because at first I thought I was watching our 2008 Nags Head home movie. Sigh.

May I have some more?

“ Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty. Is it scary? It sure is," said tea party leader Al Gerhart of Oklahoma City, who heads an umbrella group of tea party factions called the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance. "But when do the states stop rolling over for the federal government? [Okla. tea parties and lawmakers envision militia] ” Then make more “ Arizona lawmakers on Tuesday passed one of the toughest pieces of immigration-enforcement legislation in the country, which would make it a violation of state law to be in the U.S. without proper documentation. It would also grant police the power to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being illegal.  [Strict Immigration Bill] ”

Obama, the disarmer in chief

hydrophobamia lyssa

Mr. Wizard says 'Remove Vampires (in the good way)  before they give you rabies' “ In addition, the new Obama nuclear "strategy" leaves it up to lawyers - including, apparently, those of the International Atomic Energy Agency (whose members include China, Russia and Iran) - whether the United States will be allowed to use nuclear retaliation if we are attacked with chemical weapons, deadly biological viruses or electric grid-cratering cyberwarfare. Like the rest of the president's denuclearization agenda, this exemplary act of restraint is supposed to dissuade the Iranian and North Korean regimes and other nuclear wannabes from thinking it important to have and wield "the Bomb." As William Safire would say, "Fuggedaboutit." [Sarah Palin clearly has gotten under President Obama's skin] ”
