Mrs. Palin Continues to Rock

No matter how much the moron media and the left (and some in her own party) try to keep her down, Mrs. Palin just keeps on keeping on. The number one selling office product on Amazon.com is the 2009 Sarah Palin calendar (thanks to Newsbusters.org for the tip). I just love it! Hear that, messiah? To quote Smith from the Matrix movies, "That's the sound of inevitability." Palin 2012!!

Fridays Are Funny

Cats are funny and these cats are great. Yes, I know that it's cut together, repeated and whatnot. Still, it's great! Thanks to Breda for this video.



Have an adequate weekend.

Fridays Are Funny

No introduction needed.



Have an adequate weekend.

Where Was James Bond?

I'm sure you've all seen or heard about the "brave" shoe thrower. Well, as I watched the video, I was hoping the W would reenact the scene from Casino Royale where the mad bomber throws his gun at James Bond, Bond grabs it and throws it back at the bomber, clocking him square in the mug. But, no such luck. W is too cool for that, I guess.

But, on the plus side, the left has themselves another hero. No surprise that they love someone who throws like that kid in third grade that never got picked for sports. O, wait. Maybe that's where liberals are spawned. They couldn't make it with all us cool kids, so now they are taking it out on us now. If that's the case, I'm personally responsible for about 67 liberals. Sorry.

16 Below

That's right, the low was -16 this morning. Thank the Lord, and Algore, for global warming. By the way, Al, when are you coming by to unthaw my frozen pipes? Al? Al? Are you there? Jerk!

Fridays Are Funny

Here's an old article that I found. Title: "Charge dropped against man accused of passing gas". Here are the details:

A West Virginia man accused of passing gas and fanning it toward a police officer no longer faces a battery charge.

According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken to the police station for a breathalyzer test. Cruz denies fanning the gas and says his request to use a restroom when first arriving at the station was denied.

Have an adequate weekend.

Keeping it Classy with Harry Reid

I happily introduce the first ever Keeping it Classy award. Just one quote from this story is all that is needed:

"In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it's true."

Ladies and gentlemen, the Keeping it Classy award easily goes to Harry Reid. He just oozes class and always has. Funny, but that ooze doesn't smell like class. Congratulations, Harry, and enjoy the honor!

Now Toy Companies are Evil

Move over big oil, big toy is next on the hated list. An AP story from the weekend says parents are actually writing letters to toy companies asking them to stop advertising directly to their kids. Unreal. Here's the nut quote:

The message: Please, in these days of economic angst, cut back on marketing your products directly to our children.

Isn't that one of the things kids look forward to every year? Getting to see what is new and cool? Was I the only kid who went through the toy catalogs (about 100 times) and circled every other item? Some more brilliance:

The letter-writing initiative was launched by the Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which says roughly 1,400 of its members and supporters have contacted 24 leading toy companies and retailers to express concern about ads aimed at kids.

"Unfortunately, I will not be able to purchase many of the toys that my sons have asked for; we simply don't have the money," wrote Todd Helmkamp of Hudson, Ind. "By bombarding them with advertisements ... you are placing parents like me in the unenviable position of having to tell our children that we can't afford the toys you promote."

Well, Todd, either get a second or third job or tell you sons "NO". Ever heard of taking control yourself? I'll wager anything Todd voted for the messiah. Who would have thought that big evil corporations are leading to better parenting. Fantastic! Stop spoiling your future liberal, Todd.

"If children are not aware of what is new and available, how will they be able to tell their families what their preferences are?" an industry statement said. "While there is certainly greater economic disturbance going on now, families have always faced different levels of economic well-being and have managed to tailor their spending to their means."

I like this response from the industry, but the first sentence is kinda dumb. That said, the statement should have ended with, "Stick that in your stocking, Todd."

"Parents have trouble saying no," said Allison Pugh, a University of Virginia sociology professor. She says parents often buy toys to avoid guilt and ensure their children feel in sync with school classmates.

Amanda Almodovar says she encounters such families in her work as an elementary school social worker in Alamance County, N.C., where homelessness and unemployment are rising. "I had one parent who said she'd prostitute herself to get what her child wants," Almodovar said.

Right on, Allison. Amanda, look at it this way. That "parent" was probably attracted to you and didn't have the courage to ask you out for a date. They were just judging your response. If you had responded, "Let me know when you do", then they would have known you were interested. Read between the lines, Amanda.

I do have the ultimate solution to this. Be an actual parent. Spend time with your kids. And TURN OFF THE DAMN TV.
