Another casualty in the WoILBs:
Politicians, it seems, have killed the traditional Easy-Bake Oven.
Collateral damage in the war on energy waste is none other than the classic children’s toy Easy-Bake Oven, introduced in 1963 and an inductee in the National Toy Hall of Fame.
Millions of young chefs have used the toy to make tasty baked treats. It was made possible by the oven’s heating element, a common 100-watt incandescent light bulb.
But starting next year, manufacture of such bulbs will be outlawed. It’s the start of a 2007 federal law being phased in that requires light bulbs to be more energy efficient. The practical effect will be a ban on incandescent bulbs, which do not meet the requirement.
Just think – the millions of little girls programmed to be nothing more than Suzy Homemakers by the male-dominated toy industry will now be freed from a life of domestic servitude – and all thanks to a successful ban-the-bulb campaign! Phyllis Schlafly must be coming unhinged! But wait! Fear not, my fellow Stanley Kowalskis. All is not lost:
“We are aware that the 100-watt incandescent light bulb will no longer be available beginning in 2012. In fall 2011, Hasbro will launch the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven, introducing a new way to bake for the next generation of chefs. This new oven features a heating element that does not use a light bulb and offers an extensive assortment of mixes reflective of the hottest baking trends for today.”
Now git back in that kitchen and bake us some snickerdoodles!
About the most ungodly message to leave young people.

Click on my underlined name. There is no more meaning than that. Akelas Biggins.
Dude42, can you tell me — in either spinach or engrish — I speak both fluently — what is the meaning of the blue AB in your gravatar?
I tried a da spinach for a while. Now I speaka only da engrish.

Are you speaking in tongues or what ? 🙂
Here’s one for the record books on Drudge: burglar barricades himself in the bathroom of the house he has broken into — and calls 9-1-1 for help when the owner comes home!

Oh sure. Downding ’em and they get all wrapped around the axle. Upding ’em and nary a word.

Your son and his Muslim schoolmates are in the US, right? In my earlier comments, I said I have higher expectations of Muslims who have immigrated into Western countries. Presumably some, if demonstrably not all of them, are looking for a more modern life.
To All:
Just when you think you are so jaded that nothing could outrage you.

Simple
#90 Dooood42 nor do they condone terrorism. Sorry, I don’t buy this. Any time I see survey results about what Muslims in various countries believe or support, they often show 80% that support what are NOT moderate positions: death for adultery or apostacy or insulting Islam; FGM and other forms of female subjugation; etc. People who support barbaric practises can… Read more »
Silent majority.
Gee, they don’t seem too silent to me. My son goes to school with many Muslim kids. I can usually hear them just fine too.
#12 OletimerLin, I’m at home now so I could open your U tube link,…DAYAAM a 5″ group at 1000 Yds for this WW II Vet! Outstanding! I’m a better than average shot, but I don’t think that I could do that. Thanks for that great video! 😀
Mohammad, an Arab child, entered his classroom on the first day of school in Ohio . “What is your name?” asked the teacher. “Mohammad” answered the boy. “You are in America now. From now on your name will be Johnny,” replied the teacher. In the evening, Mohammad returned home. “How was your day, Mohammad?” asked his mother. “My name is… Read more »
Good advice when you find yourself in a fight:
Fight only the guy who is trying to hurt you.
Don’t make any more new enemies—try not to pizzoff his freinds.
Try to get his freinds to get him to back off. The first step in doing this is to not pizz them off.
I am pleased to be in receipt of another invitation to one of my “adopted” kid’s 21st birthday celebrations. This one is the female half of a couple that had lived here temporarily a few times over the last few years, and it will be held at their new apartment (Yea! Fiscal responsibility!) She’s doing the cooking, and I can’t… Read more »
Good thing you’re not a muslim.
Rather inefficient arsonists, eh? Heck, I coulda done two myself and not even broke a sweat.
Which is actually good news.
Because if we fight bad guys with uniforms, it means we are fighting a real war with nation states, and not a small minority of fundamentalist nut cases.
These bad guys don’t wear uniforms.
Whaddya mean?
Those 350 million Indonesians burned two churches.
And that was just the peaceful ones.
I don’t see a “Silent Majority” of Muslims anywhere who are peaceful but don’t speak up. Ok, Sarge made this point already, but exactly how would you see them? You think the media is going to focus on people who DO NOT blow stuff up? If you simply focus on raw population numbers it’s blatantly obvious that the majority of… Read more »

I don’t see a “Silent Majority” of Muslims anywhere who are peaceful but don’t speak up. One rarely hears a Silent Majority. They wouldn’t be a Silent Majority if you heard them. My basic problem is with the way Boney frames the situation. He is steering folks towards there being only one ultimate solution, and that is to wage war… Read more »
#80 Sarge Is it just the peaceful ones that burn churches, or do the violent ones burn them too? I will make an exception for MOST of the Muslims that have emigrated out of their own for-the-most-part backward countries, and settled in the West. Muslims still in their home countries, seem to me to be mostly 2 groups: the violent… Read more »
#82 Bones: you refuse to acknowledge the inherent evil contained in islam all men There, fixed it for ya. I recognize the evil in all men.

Its what makes the Westoboro Baptist Church picket the funerals of soldiers.… Read more »

Or, do you think it’s just Muslims that are evil????
The big difference between you and me Sarge, is that you refuse to acknowledge the inherent evil contained in islam and I refuse to ignore it. The big difference between you and me is that it took you three hours of googling to find something Indonesian Muslims have done bad, found two burned churches, then said it was indicative of… Read more »

Yah.
They should have gotten the violent ones to pitch in.
They missed one church.
Is it just the peaceful ones that burn churches, or do the violent ones burn them too?
Something smells fishy here; Millions of dead fish at King Harbor in Redondo Beach.
Those peaceful mooslims This morning (1/1/11) the Dallas Morning News carried three different stories about attacks on Christian churches or Christians carried out by Muslim terrorists; one in Egypt, one in Iraq, and one in Afghanistan. These are not isolated incidents. Over the last two decades Muslims have attacked Christian churches and killed Christians in Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Malaysia, Indonesia,… Read more »
Those peaceful INDONESIAN mooslims, they burn churches. Indonesia’s constitutional court upheld the blasphemy law last year as not limiting religious freedom and vital to religious harmony in the secular nation. Activists argued the law discriminates against believers outside the mainstream of six officially recognized faiths. They also say the law is used largely to defend Islam, the dominant religion of… Read more »
Skinny Tuesday
House Dems whine that polystyrene foam (Styrofoam®) coffee cups may contain carcinogens and they are not sufficiently “green”.
These people are bigger whiny butts than a patrol of Brownies who just got told they have to eat vegetables for a snack instead of juice & cookies.
btw – some of the comments are pretty funny
I listened to a radio interview with the woman who was given credit for the proclamation.
It was on a Sunday night program on KPFT.
You can do the math.
Rush made note of that. International Women’s Day and Fat Tuesday, how the heck did that happen?
The genius of Lefties wanting to proclaim meaningless commemorative dates and how it displays the unintended consequences of Lefty policies.
In addition to being Mardi Gras, today is pancake day, and International Women’s Day.
Pancakes, bacon, and women… nomz…

We’ll open the “Wagonburner Sammich Training Center for PreWimmins”.
How will all those little pre-wimmins ever learn their places and learn how to make good sammiches?
And the Jews. You can have their bacon. I’ll be full by then.
Except for the Muslims. They just get spaghetti.
I’ll eat their bacon for them.
