While surfing the internet, I came across this:
It started me thinking. Who would I like to see fill this out, and why? Some suggestions:
Al Gore – for the global warming fraud. This should be accompanied by large amounts of money, preferably in small denominations, spread amongst the people who have suffered job losses and overwhelming regulation due to his egomaniacal need to control others.
Barak Obama – for just being a wiss in general, but if I had to choose, it would be for my dizziness. You know, from that swirly motion our country seems to be making. (oh, please Lord, make it stop, please, make it stop!)
Danny B. – the trombone player I went out with in high school, for telling his friends what a bad date I was, when he was really covering up for the fact that he left his headlights on and drained his battery while we were at a movie.
Who would you choose? Why?

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is coming to Houston for the next phase in her treatment. Thank you Lord for her continued progress.
If we had politicians on the GOP side who knew how to play the PR game, our medical system, as is, would be getting some credit, respectfully, for the Congresswoman’s amazing recovery to this point.

I suspect the esteemed Congresswoman from the 18th District will be getting a lot of face time with the cameras during the recovery period. She kicked off her Giffordpalooza last weekend.
Have you ever seen SJL and Quanny together? Hmmm.

Speaking of Quanny, I saw him on tv last week talking about a man even he couldn’t believe.
“Basically, the things he said to me could not be further from the truth than the devil is from God,” Quanell X said.

From Lats night, Darren said;
I’m not into car audio. In fact many car subwoofers sound so terrible (I’m sure your son’ wasn’t) that I get nauseous hearing them blare in the wind.
Au contre you would be wrong Suh! The subwoofer in the Chebby Pick-Um -Up was ever bit as annoying as the one in that little “Rice Rocket” you often hear. 😉

Palinoia, the Destroyer
This is possibly the very best thing yet written on Sarah Palin and the deranged hatred for her among the Left, particularly the female members.
James Taranto captures, I think, the essence of this insane behavior in otherwise fairly normal people. He quotes a reader’s email to him, a NYC liberal woman in her 30s, about the rage Palin incites in the women she encounters daily.
From reader Jessica Faller:
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. But she couldn’t have pulled it off if she were a gray mouse in a pantsuit, and because the devil in the red dress wasn’t orating like a professor, it roused an unquenchable forest fire of rage and loathing in the breasts of many women, perhaps of the toiling gray mouse variety, who projected onto her their own career resentments and personal frustrations.
I am amazed at how people still abhor her. I personally do not. I don’t feel she would be a good choice to run this country, but she does not deserve the horrific treatment she gets. I can tell you, being privy to the endless, incendiary rants this past week about her, coming from hordes of liberal women–age demo 25 to 45–they rip her to pieces, they blame her for everything, and the jealousy/resentment factor is so clear and primal. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Taranto continues:
As a political matter, contraception is essentially uncontroversial today, which is to say that any suggestion that adult women be legally prevented from using birth control is outside the realm of serious debate. The same cannot be said of abortion, and that is at the root of Palinoia.
To the extent that “feminism” remains controversial, it is because of the position it takes on abortion: not just that a woman should have the “right to choose,” but that this is a matter over which reasonable people cannot disagree–that to favor any limitations on the right to abortion, or even to acknowledge that abortion is morally problematic, is to deny the basic dignity of women.

Great Article Texpat, and while I’ve said all along that the Hairy Legged Feminists are jealous of her, this caught my eye;
They say she is uneducated. What they mean is that her education is not elite–not Harvard or Yale, or even Michigan or UCLA. They resent her because, in their view, she has risen above her station.

Here’s how the Dems “tone down the rhetoric”:
“They don’t like the truth so they summarily dismiss it,” Cohen said. “They say it’s a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like (Nazi propagandist Joseph) Goebbels.”
“You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That’s the same kind of thing,” he said.
…
“The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it, and you have the Holocaust,” Cohen added in his remarks. “You tell a lie over and over again.” -

If a terrorist really wanted to bring down an airliner, it would cost him $100 plus the cost of materials to do so. At least at the airport in Charlotte.
On November 19, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was at Charlotte Douglas Airport testing out JetBlue’s security. Their goal was to try and get an unaccompanied package onto a flight headed to Boston and unfortunately, they succeeded. An undercover TSA agent told a JetBlue ticket agent that he needed to get a package to Boston that day and would pay the agent $100.00 for helping. The agent took the $100, put it in his pocket and proceeded to follow the unknown person’s instructions. The ticket agent chose a passenger’s name at random, which just happened to be an unaccompanied minor, and the package went through the screening process with no problems. Although the package was harmless, the TSA pulled the package just before being loaded onto the aircraft.
I have the distinct feeling that had the TSA not known about the package all along, it would surely have made it onto the airplane.
The system worked!

At Boca restaurant in Tucson, you can sample many exotic (and pedestrian) meats to see which taste most like chicken.
In the six months since it launched Exotic Taco Wednesdays, Boca Tacos y Tequila has served up python, alligator, elk, kangaroo and rattlesnake.
.
Frog legs, turtle, duck and Rocky Mountain oysters have also made appearances.Oh yeah, lemme at those testicule tacos!!! Mmm mmm mmm.Next up: the taco that bites back.
Last week he announced on Boca’s Facebook page that the UA-area taco shop was accepting prepaid orders for African lion, to be served on Feb. 16. Orders must be placed by 3 p.m. Feb. 7.

Don’t you think that this “apologize and all will be forgiven” business, as well as the elite’s judgment as to who should apologize and who is not required to do so has gone far enough. When Big O discovers that he has mortgaged our children’s and our grandchildren’s nation, their freedom, their constitutional liberties, their finances, their health care, and so on, do you think just a simple apology will satisfy you?
BTW, I’m printing off a few of those forms just in case – looks like they might save a little time. Let’s see, first I’ll send one to the red light camera company, then to the parking ticket judge, to the power company to show my remorse for not paying my bill this month – I’m sure that I will find a good use for a few more of them. Maybe even to the cat for not cleaning his litter box often enough. It’s feeling better already being guilt free.

This is pretty horrific. The poor baby. And the parents – they have to live with this the rest of their lives.
Another reason to not have wild animals as pets.
And why didn’t the baby scream? And if he did, which I assume he would, why didn’t the mother wake up sooner? Was the ferret that quick?
Something fishy going on here.

If we had politicians on the GOP side who knew how to play the PR game, our medical system, as is, would be getting some credit, respectfully, for the Congresswoman’s amazing recovery to this point.
If the most telling point were to be used, it would be met with a firestorm:
Congresswoman Giffords, along with all members of both Houses, has better Health Insurance than almost any other citizen, and far better than that which the Democrats “gave” to us last year.
But saying that is “uncivil” isn’t it?

For the Demos, this is another “unexpected” result. Most of us had this one pegged before it was voted on.
If Democrats want to experiment, I can direct them Bill Nye. He has some fun experiments they could try. Don’t do it with people’s lives and incomes.

Apologies that need to be made:
1) From the high school where SJL “graduated” – they had to claim that she successfully has mastered the course material. What a fraud! The college and Law Schools should be closed for their gross negligence for their promotions of her. She is a walking, loud talking, example of the unintended consequences of affirmative action.
2) From PMSNBC for lying to the American People that Keith Olberdolt, Chris “tingle up my leg” Matthews and Rachel Madcow are journalists.
3) From every terd-nozzle D who claims that Obamacare is not gov’t controlled healthcare. -

Hamoulian, Queen Tinkles and Squawk: I also was taught to put 2 spaces after a period. Her Highness is correct in that it aids the reader and is how most printed material still appears. Why some terd-nozzle correcto-nazi wants to change what works very well is a mystery to me, but then again, I was broadsided when they changed the name of Bombay to Mumbai – dittos for Peking to Beijing.

Speaking of puns, I went looking for the Stargate episode where the name “Hu” caused so much entertainment amongst the scriptwriters. I hope to find it.
It then feeds into a later episode, in a scene where Daniel Jackson sees his opposing character perk up when the name “Hu” is mentioned, and he warns him that “every possible joke has been overdone, please”.

Good morning all. Cutting to the chase and skipping the early morning report, I applaud Texpat #7 for featuring Palinoia, The Destroyer. This nails it twice and thrice. The green-eyed monster roams freely amongst women caught in the dhimmitude of feminism. Use your heads, gals, for something besides keeping your bejeweled ears apart. Jealousy destroys from within.
As an editor of medical and other manuscripts for ~40 years, here is correct spacing following these punctuation marks: two after colons, two after periods concluding sentences, one after commas, one after semicolons. Alas, first the Huns of contemporary composition (led by the print media) disposed of the serial comma and thereby frequently confuse readers as to what goes with what. One can comment that many contemporary print media writers don’t really care about clarity anyway.
Dismount soapbox.

One of my relatives goes to see the Medicine Man.
“Medicine Man, I keep having these alternating, recurring dreams. First I’m a teepee; then I’m a wigwam; then I’m a teepee; then I’m a wigwam. It’s driving me crazy. What’s wrong with me?”
The Medicine Man replies: “It’s very simple. You’re two tents.”

PJ O’Rourke writes an early obituary for the New York Times in the upcoming issue of the Weekly Standard.
The most cringe-inducing article was titled “In the Shock of the Moment, the Politicking Stops . . . Until It Doesn’t.” Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg wrote, “Some Democrats were urging [President Obama] to look back to recent history, when President Bill Clinton seized the political high ground after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.”
In the matter of self-serving, bitter, calculated cynicism, there wouldn’t seem to be much left to prove against the Times. Judging by what I’ve heard from my fellow conservatives, the issue is decided. The New York Times is a worthless, truthless, vicious institution. But I disagree. I think things are worse than that.
and this:
But liberalism, as personified by the New York Times, became a dotty old aunt sometime during the Johnson administration. She’s provincial, eccentric, and holds dull, peculiar views about the world. Still, she has our fond regard, and we visit her regularly in her nursing home otherwise known as Arts and Leisure and the Book Review. Or we did until Sunday, January 9, when she began spouting obscenities and exposing herself.
We observe in the Times a bizarre overreaction to people and things that can be construed as “antigovernment.” (And all people and most things often can be so construed, e.g., the man who just got a speeding ticket.) The Times has become delusional, going from advocating big government to believing that it is the big government. Americans being somewhat disgruntled with big government, the Times imagines itself under attack from every side, even, no doubt, from within.

My #104
Antonovich arrived at the estimate by factoring in the cost of food stamps and welfare-style benefits through a state program known as CalWORKS. Combined with public safety costs and health care costs, the official claimed the “total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers” was more than $1.6 billion in 2010.
“Not including the hundreds of millions of dollars for education,” he said in a statement. -

Adee, don’t discount plain ignorance. Due to the failure of US education during the last 50 years, hardly anyone can write a lucid English sentence now. Over most of my working life, I have been asked to proofread technical docs because I have good language skills. Generally speaking, the younger the writer, the worse the writing, and also the more astonished the writer is to (finally) learn the truth that he/she couldn’t write his/her way out of a paper bag.

Is anyone else tired of hearing about the sainted Rep. Giffords?
I mean, she was shot. That was a bad thing. She’s recovering. That’s a good thing. I don’t need to hear every detail about her, her life, and the intimate details about her relationship with her husband. I KNOW the doctors will work hard to give her the best quality of life possible. I’m happy for her. I’m happy for her husband.
There were other people shot that day. Other than the little girl, I’ve heard little about them. Oh, except that one of them made a death threat of his own.
She is no more special than anyone else. There are a lot of things happening in the world that don’t involve her. I’m tired of the wissin’ media circus that acts like the whole world is revolving around this woman. This was a significant event, but it’s time to move on. Let the woman and her husband have some privacy, and let’s stop the politicians from using her as political leverage.

Should a government mandate that all citizens “have no other gods before” the one that some politicians happen to believe in? Should a government mandate that citizens “not worship any graven image?” Should a government mandate that citizens “shalt not take [a specific description of a] God’s name in vain?” (Or draw a picture of it?) Should a government mandate that citizens “remember [a specific] sabbath and keep it holy?” Should a government mandate that public schools teach as science, a literal interpretation of Genesis?
