She's Back

UPDATE II: Are you a real SarAmerican", or are you one of 'them'?

Read The New York Times, Rogue American Woman.


UPDATE: For a critical review of the book, read the Los Angles TImes, 'Going Rogue: An American Life' by Sarah Palin.

The Rogue Diva takes aim, mostly at fellow Republi-cons.

Read the Washington Post, Our Evita and Time for some Palintology and The New York Times, Palin Onstage, Still Moving Off Message.

On Friday call if you watched her on Oprah, or have read the book? Maybe you can explain why she seems so bitter and vindictive.

Next up, the movie:

Obama Fearus Ignoramus

When a lab-monkey declares that President Obama wasn't born in America, he becomes Patient Zero for a new brand of fear-based news virus - Fearus Ignoramus. Watch as the virus goes ear-borne, spreading from Rush Limbaugh to CNN to the mainstream-media to the general public. America devolves into panic, convinced its President is an illegal alien anti-Christ:

Ramblings of a Retired Mind

From a retired friend:

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'

I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.

I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do...write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.

As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

Obama the Alien Lizard

The Birthers were partly right, now we know -- Obama is an alien, but not from Kenya. He is an alien space lizard. Watch the ABC documentary.

And read the reviews, Gawker, V as an Alien Allegory Attack Against Barack Obama and The Hill, Is Obama an alien? ‘V’ and the age of hysteria.

My apologizes to Pastor Poppins.

Good Advice

Enjoy the following, allegedly first said by Will Rogers:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco..

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

No Easy Answers

UPDATE IV: Still unsure what to do in Afghanistan, then consider some a historical lesson courtesy of the former Soviet Union. Read The New York Times, Transcripts of Defeat.

Still unsure, then think Napoleon and our founding fathers who were opposed to "ceaseless and senseless overseas wars. Wars for territory. Wars for defense. Wars for revenge. Wars because one religion was better than another."


UPDATE III: To Republi-cons, manliness is "quickly invad[ing] a country on the basis of half-baked intelligence." Read the Washington Post, Think before surging.

Tell me, who dithered through five draft deferments to void duty in Vietnam?


UPDATE II: After 7 years of 'dithering' and uncertainty on Afghanistan, Republi-cons are now armchair hypocrites. Read the Washington Post, Armchair Quarterbacks.

Republi-cons have no shame, and very short memories.


UPDATE: More troops, or less troops, how many troops would be just right? Read The New York Times, There’s No Substitute for Troops on the Ground and More Troops Are a Bad Bet.

What should Obama do about Afghanistan?

Remember Santayana's Law of Repetitive Consequences, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Then read the Washington Post, The Anguish of Decision.

Boys Will Be Boys, Part II

Why launch an anvil 200 feet in the air? Why not?

Notice that women never do things like this. We men should thank them for saving mankind.

All Puns Intended

From a friend:

1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

4. A dyslexic man walked into a bra.

5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm, and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."

6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

7. "Doc, I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home." "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" "Well, It's Not Unusual."

8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true; no bull!" exclaims Daisy.

9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.

10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I couldn't find any.

12. I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel.

13. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

14. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"

15. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Not surprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

16. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse."But why?" they asked. "Because," he said. "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

17. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt, and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

18. An old priest walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

19. A dwarf, who was a mystic, escaped from jail. The call went out that there was a small medium at large.

20. And finally, there was the person who sent 20 different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least 10 of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in 10 did.

Cradle-to-Grave Republi-con Delusions

UPDATE II: Republi-cons on health care reform:




UPDATE: For a little history regarding Republi-con craziness, read the Washington Post, In America, Crazy Is a Preexisting Condition.

Republi-cons like to claim that if Obama would only __________ (fill in the blank), it would settle the matter. But the truth is, they will never quit making things up, no matter how outrageous, to feed their base. Case on point, from the Washington Post:



For all you non-Republi-cons, learn more about the issue of end-of-life care and advance care planning as it related to health care reform by reading the Washington Post, Easing The 'Death Panel' Fear.

So much Republi-con stupidity, so little time.

Will It Be Forty Years in the Wilderness for the Republi-cons

UPDATE III: The public may not like Naive-crats much, but they still like Republi-cons even less. Read the Washington Post, A premature celebration for the GOP.


UPDATE II: For more on the problems facing the Naive-ocrats, read the National Journal, Democratic Fault Lines Open Up and the Washington Post, 2010 Threat to Democrats Comes From Three Directions.

Will Obama be another one term Democratic president?


UPDATE: Updating an October 2008 post, it looks like it may be little more than 40 weeks (Tuesday, September 29th was 47 weeks since the election) in the wilderness for those waskly Republi-cons. Read the Washington Post, A Republican Comeback?

Only a Naive-ocrat could blow the last election as badly.

It looks increasingly bleak for the Republi-cons. The current generation deserves to be exiled from political office for a decade or more for fraud.

Read Washington Post, Time to Be Outward Bound.

When Will There Be The Moment of Truth?

Senior citizens and military and federal retirees will get no COLA, but "Obama's plan to send seniors another round of $250 payments before the congressional elections."

Who will be the first to say to the American public that enough is enough and demand a return to responsibility? Read The New York Times, The Reality Moment.

I don't expect it until a moment of crisis.

Sign of the Apocalypse

UPDATE: Who knew, there is a local club burger club. See the NW Florida Burger Tour.

The bacon cheese doughnut burger:




Maybe there should be a taste-off against The Bacon Explosion.

P.S. Is this something the BOTM club should try?

Obama Nada

UPDATE III: I'm not the only one who thought Obama should have just said no thanks. Read The New York Times, Heckuva Job, Barack.


UPDATE II: Why do few Republi-cons win the Nobel Peace Prize? Read the Miami Herald, Fla. GOP members shoot Muslim targets at gun range.


UPDATE: Once upon a time, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." However, it seems that there is a new post-modern standard -- just saying that one hopes to bring about peace at some point in the future. And Obama sure can talk, can't he, especially when the teleprompter is working properly. Read the Washington Post, Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize.

I think the award is more a rebuke of Bush, in other words an "award for simply not being Bush. That alone is worthy of an award from the world" (quoted from an email I received). If that is the case, the award should have gone to the American public.

Otherwise it should be renamed the Nobel Prize for a Promise.

Obama should decline the prize, saying that he does not believe that he has accomplished enough to merit the prize, and that surely there is someone "who labored in anonymity to promote peace worked in relative obscurity and often in grave danger on behalf of human rights, political freedom, or national self-determination" and as such really deserves the prize.

Otherwise Obama will prove that he is just another politician full of himself.

P.S. I wonder who even nominated him. Hope it wasn't someone from his staff.

P.P.S. Maybe next year I'll nominate Santa Claus, he brings peace to my house every Christmas Eve.

Final P.S. Mike thinks that Obama's win based on 12 days as president and the fact that Reagan never won the award, "coupled with Al Gore's win in 2007 is proof that the prize is nothing but a political prize from Leftists to Leftists." What do you think?

What has Obama done on global warming, immigration reform, gays in the military, limits on executive powers, torture prosecutions, closing Gitmo, withdrawing from Iraq, improving the status of the fight in Afghanistan, health care reform, etc.?

Can you say nothing:




"A drumbeat of belittlement can damage a president." Remember Chevy Chase's portrayal of Gerald Ford as a "bumbling, clumsy man who banged his head constantly."

Maybe Obama Man can't.
