First off, my prayers and hopeful wishes to the people in Japan, suffering from that massive earthquake. May the death and destruction be as limited as possible, and their recovery swift and strong.
My daughter and a group of her classmates were scheduled to leave for Japan this morning. Needless to say, she is back in her bed, sleeping after waking up at 4:00 am to board the plane. Her teacher thinks they may leave on Sunday. Lovely Daughter and I think it’s best they just scratch their trip. I’m sure the Japanese would love to have all those American dollars, but right now digging out of the rubble is their main priority.
My big question: How will this affect the world economy, with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel?
The unions continue to try to shake up the legislators and bully them into allowing the unions to continue their seemingly unfettered power. Death threats against legislators, overwhelming the police force trying to control them, threatening citizen journalists (or anyone with a video camera without the union designation) with physical pain, property destruction – and yet I wonder how much of this bad behavior is being reported on the mainstream news? And how is this lack of coverage going to make the MSM look? I mean, there are so many people on the internet these days, and those videos are out in the public…but then, Katie Couric and her ilk cannot be bothered with those pajama media types.
But those types of people practically shut down ACORN, took a huge bite out of Planned Parenthood, and are giving NPR a migraine. Yeah, go ahead ignore them. Go ahead. They are shaking up the news, and the MSM are merely holding onto the handrails, trying not to get tossed over the side.

Mrs. Darren does consider me one hot tamale. 😈
Yabbut are they on fire?
With all this booger flipping talk it makes me worried that at least some of you have a camera viewing me while I blog on hamous’ site. 😳
El Gordo, you rascal. 😀
You had me going, I thought you had been in a fender bender.
I got bumped at a stop light this morning which in turn led me to bump the car in front of me. The driver of the car in front got out and walked back to where I was still sitting in my car. He was a dwarf, so I got out of my car to talk to him. He said… Read more »
One more for the Sarge

What pun ? 🙂
This is pretty cool. A photographer (and photoshopper) posts some “then and now” shots.
This one too
#60 Sarge: This is just for you:>)
No.
But I think Pat Robertson did.
Did Gary Busey fire a flaming booger at Charlie Sheen?
I gotta say it. Bob42 telling me that Newt Gingrich is crazy for saying that our Judeo-Christian civilization is under attack from two fronts. On one front, you have a secular, atheist, elitism; and then turning around and telling us about the agenda of the religious right wing dominionists that want a large and powerful government to impose their beliefs… Read more »
Mothra has been summoned
Drudge has his siren up. Japan nuke plant radiation 1000 times above normal.
I blame Bush.
Or global warming.
Or maybe…
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,
“I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.
I really need you to pay me a compliment.’
I replied, “Your eyesight’s damn near perfect.”
And then the fight started.
Wisconsin Governor Rescinds Layoff Notices. MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker announced on Friday that he was rescinding layoff notices for 1,500 state workers after Wisconsin lawmakers approved his plan to cut collective bargaining rights and benefits for public employees. The approval, after nearly a month of angry demonstrations and procedural maneuvering, will create enough budget savings, Mr. Walker said,… Read more »
We know that.
It was caused by a dominionist conspiracy.
No, Japan’s earthquake was not caused by a “supermoon.” Despite what a lot of people are saying, there is no way this earthquake was caused by the Moon. The idea of the Moon affecting us on Earth isn’t total nonsense, but it cannot be behind this earthquake, and almost certainly won’t have any actual, measurable affect on us on March… Read more »
And fewer places to go.
Only if you add wingtips and spats.
Nah, let LSU keep their purple.
Seeing as how my nickname predates rap, doof doof dance music, Suberru (sp) WRXs, Polo shirts, and even Nike, I’m not worried what any trendy dirtbag thinks it means.
I also think its time we take back purple from the heterophobes.
Anyone hear from Big? I assume the tsunami hysteria in Hawaii is probably similar to the hurricane hysteria here, except with idiot tourists sprinkled in.
Raising the level of discourse today is like putting socks on a rooster
See there, Bob? Shannon finds you preferable to flaming boogers. Things are looking up.
Or talk about cats even
Actually, I was thinking of elevating the tone a bit and introduce farts as a subject—-
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and… Read more »
Okay that’s it. You and Bobo can start up again.
They look like little comets.
That’s a sight. FLAMING BOOGERS
A hamous sounds a lot like a chav.
#52 pyro: BOOGER FLIPPER!
Hamous, O benevolent couch master, THIS – option 2, might make an interesting button for the front page. That way we could always have up to date stats.
So you can fire boogers at people who annoy you in traffic. Natch.
#50 Naw. If I wrote it, it would be funnier.
And I’m sure that Bob submitted that definition himself.
According to the Urban Dictionary, Hamous is defined as: Anyone that wears a pink shirt,drives and extreemly over done up car, listens to rap and doof doof dance music or belives that calling one’s self a lad. Also anyone that thinks conformity is a way of life. A leb driving a Suberru WRX with loud dance music, a person weraing… Read more »

Was that pun intended or accidental?
Here’s a monkey story on Drudge that will be hard to top:

Heh heh So I thought I might modestly propose a means of redressing the imbalance between liberty and freedom that now exists, if only as a conceptual experiment. Perhaps the answer to our current conflict between civilized values and the nihilism of pure “negative liberty” (to use Isaiah Berlin’s phrase) is a revival of dueling. This may seem like an… Read more »
Yah.
But what is it about driving alone in the car makes someone want to do it?

Well, I guess DU has found a useful purpose after all. That, and corralling all the crazies in one place so we know where they are.
The Democratic Underground is hoisting those smarmy bottomfeeders at Righthaven on their own petard.
A work buddy of mine who lives near the Carolina coast mentioned that he’d just made the last tuition payment for his youngest kid, who graduates this semester. He’s thinking about buying a “boat”.
Some say that life begins at conception, others say it begins at birth. I say life begins when the youngest kid graduates, and the dog dies.

Sheesh, a whole family of sadistic subhumans.
