Rock on!

Oh Wow.

I'll never be able to get behind this plastic bag uproar, but I've got to give it up for this video:



The voice you're hearing is Jeremy Irons. We've spared no expense.

Of course, at the end they have to let everyone know that plastic bags don't really live in the ocean, because people are stupid.

Downright Freaky

Charles Krauthammer has obviously been digging around in my brain and articulating my thoughts better than I could probably ever do. Easily one of the top 5 people I'd love to have a sit down with.

This is too good

World War II's Facebook Page

God Help Us All

San Diego appears to be vying for the honor of being home to the Statue of Responsibility. That is not a joke. They are building a 300 foot statue of two clasping hands entitled the Statue of Responsibility, envisioned as a sister statue to the Statue of Liberty. This idea apparently stems from the words of World War II era psychiatrist [Ugh.] Victor Frankl, who in 1946 wrote, "For freedom to endure, liberty must be joined with responsibility,” which is exactly the sort of platitude people cite before they attempt to take away your freedom.

There is no way that this statue doesn't end up in Frisco, where hopefully it will fall on the Golden Gate Bridge and somehow cause the entire city to burst into flames. Sorry if you live there. Sorry in so many ways.

SHOCKER!

Richard Armitage, the man who is the only reason Valerie Plame is even a household name, is not mentioned in the new Sean Penn hit piece. If these people are so confident in their position, then why do they distort the facts?

Even Johnny Rotten Gets It

Bush T-Shirts Outselling Obama T-Shirts

Americans sure do have short memories. At Martha's Vineyard Bush t-shirts reading "Miss Me Yet?" are outselling Obama t-shirts.
Funny

Obama Loves His Leisure Time

Here
and
Here

Get Ready!

You're about to get schooled by Sean Penn...again.



I hope Valerie Plame survives!

Now This Is A Series I Can Get Behind

Kevin Spacey to play Scientology type cult leader. Shouldn't be hard for him. All he has to do is bring back his character from the movie Seven.
Let me be clear, I am not a big fan of harrassing people about their faith. I think it is humbling to recognize that there is something out there bigger than we are. Something we don't understand. It reminds us that we are small and to not over inflate our own importance and that we still have a lot to learn.
But following one man who promises salvation while taking all the money and all the women. Well that sounds more like Islam or the Mormons. :)

AWESOME! MSM Asks For W's Help To Save Obama

Times like this remind me of when MC poignantly noted that the Republican party is like our Dad. We don't want to listen to our Dads. We want to do it our way, but in the end he is often right and we have turn to him to bail us out. True dat, my friend true dat.

Sooner Or Later Even Some Socialists See Error Of Their Ways

Even if they won't admit they were socialists to begin with.
That is the beauty of reality vs. fantasy. Reality wins in the end. That's why most of us, I think, on this blog don't support socialized medicine. It's not because we are heartless and like watching the poor suffer. (especially since I can't rub two dimes together) Or want to say "I told you so" while reading the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. It simply comes down to this. It won't work. And forcing it on us is a bad and selfish idea. Though sexy to say that everyone has coverage when in reality it means that when everyone is covered, sooner or later no one will be.

I Think This Is Well Done

And it could probably be made about Republicans just as easily.

Best Country In The World

According to the worst magazine in the world.
Can you guess which one it is? Hint: It's not the U.S. In fact the U.S. is number 11 behind Albania and Poland.

What Did Scotland Gain?

Lockerbie bomber still alive.
What did Scotland gain with their decision to release this man?
and what did Obama think we would gain in supporting the decision to release him? There has to be something. I know speculation was going around, but there has to be something concrete. Anyone know?

Genious

Alternate Return Of the Jedi Ending

Han Solo dies. Hmmmm I don't know how I feel about that. Kurtz claims the reason Han wasn't killed was due to toy sales, but what about Boba Fett? One of the more popular toys and he dies in the most inglorious of ways.

And now for an alternate beginning

PITA

Oh wait, I mean PETA.

So last night I was watching TV and saw a Dodge ad I've seen before. Usually at the end, a monkey dressed as Evil Knievel comes out and pushes down on a plunger which sets off a bomb of confetti. No big deal, right?

WRONG!

Last night I see the same commercial, this time there's no monkey, just an Evil Knievel suit with nothing in it. Was I going crazy?

NO!

PETA is at it again.

Bolton On Iran's Nuclear Reactor

I like this guy, but sometimes I can't tell if he is right on the money about Iran or if he overreacts. I have a tendency to believe or agree with everything he says and maybe that isn't very wise and so I am trying to look at it in a more subtle way. Still, I wouldn't mind it if Israel took action and blew the crap out of this thing. It would at least make for a great youtube video.

Hmmmm Government Jobs Are Indeed Stable

Here is a graph showing the percentage of jobs lost in the private sector vs. government jobs. Not much of a news flash here. And so does anyone really care when Arnie hands out IOU's instead of paycheck? I mean how are we planning on paying these people when there are no taxes being generated to fulfill a paycheck?

Freedom Is Fabulous

I think since Gay Marriage is the hot topic, then let's hear what two pole smok... ummm... I mean, homosexual men have to say. Conservatives of course. Libs don't have opinions I trust.

Too Good

This is not a photoshop:

This Will Put Obama In Deep Shit

Obama is spiraling out of control in the popularity department. That's because no other president, that I can think of anyway, so obviously runs his presidency through special interest an self preservation rather than what he thinks is right.


Funny. This picture below sorta sums up teachers for me right now. At least it sums up the teachers union.

Old People Burning!

Unions Are Awesome

We can't do titles in burnt umber, too bad.

I usually work from home in the SF East Bay. But once in a while I have to travel into my SF office. This leaves me dependent on unionized monopolies. Yay.

I take the trans-bay bus, which up to this point has been pretty nice. But who knows what service I'll get after the AC Transit bus driver's union refuses to comply to necessary concessions. Pensions?? Really? You're a bus driver.

Preach On, Brother Man

It's like this guy lifted all my thoughts on gay marriage and wrote them straight into this article.

Or...

...maybe people like to appear outwardly super tolerant, but when they retire to the privacy of a voting booth their secret love of the status quo comes out. Of course, the real answer can't possibly be that most peolpe in the state of California simply oppose gay marriage. It must have been the evil "lies" perpetrated by the anti-gay marriage propaganda machine. Whatever the case, I'm sure the lawyers and politicians will work it out and give the people what they really want.
