Halloween Boobage.
From John.
Didn't like that? Howza 'bout some boobees?
Matthew sent me a link to NPR poll concerning the White House versus Fox News. Go there and vote.
What better person to be AOTW the day before Halloween than Speaker Blinky? She looks like a freaking ghoul. I'm goiving it to her because of the 1900+ page health care bill she just introduced. How scary is that? Here's her award.
Just in time for Halloween it's Barry Potter.
Got it from here.
A joke for the Jug Hussein Ears' economy. He owns it now.
A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."
The social worker behind the counter said, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter."
"You'll have to drive around in his 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips."
"This is rather awkward to say but you will also have as part of your job assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."
"A two-bedroom loft type apartment with plasma TV, stereo, bar, etc. located above the garage, will be designated for your sole use and the salary is $200,000 a year."
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshittin' me!"
The social worker said, "Yeah, well . . You started it."

Remember when the LSM and the frothing libs were all over Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler for all of the vacations he took? Just for the record, Jug Hussein Ears has already played more rounds of golf than Chimpy. And it looks like we're returning to the Clinton years where big donors are paying to come to the White House.

Your tax dollars at work.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A total of 690,000 new vehicles were sold under the Cash for Clunkers program last summer, but only 125,000 of those were vehicles that would not have been sold anyway, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the automotive Web site Edmunds.com.
So all CFC really did was move some buying forward.
Still, auto sales contributed heavily to the economy's expansion in the third quarter, adding 1.7 percentage points to the nation's gross domestic product growth.
That's 1.7 percent that won't be in the fourth quarter.
The Cash for Clunkers program gave car buyers rebates of up to $4,500 if they traded in less fuel-efficient vehicles for new vehicles that met certain fuel economy requirements. A total of $3 billion was allotted for those rebates.
And those rebates are taxable. The gummint giveth, the gummint taketh away. TANSTAAFL!
The average rebate was $4,000. But the overwhelming majority of sales would have taken place anyway at some time in the last half of 2009, according to Edmunds.com. That means the government ended up spending about $24,000 each for those 125,000 additional vehicle sales.
Because no one can waste money better than the gummint. And I'm including Republicans in there because their out of control spending turned the gummint over to the Dimocrats who really know how to do out of control spending. They make the Republicans look like pikers.
"It is unfortunate that Edmunds.com has had nothing but negative things to say about a wildly successful program that sold nearly 250,000 cars in its first four days alone," said Bill Adams, spokesman for the Department of Transportation. "There can be no doubt that CARS drummed up more business for car dealers at a time when they needed help the most."
That's business they got in the third quarter that they won't be getting in the fourth quarter. It was a colossal waste of our money.
Interesting parallels.
The parallels between the first years in office of Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter are striking, according to James Carafano of the Heritage Foundation. Like Obama, Carter followed an unpopular president. Carter's Year One was invested in diplomacy and image-making.His energy was dedicated almost exclusively to "making nice" on the world stage. It's what drove his actions in the Israeli-Egyptian peace process, at strategic-arms limitation talks and in negotiating the Panama Canal Treaty.It was a perpetual exercise in "soft power."
Except now they are calling it "smart diplomacy".
A poor economy led Carter to scale down our military presence in the world. Year Two brought threats from around the world.A Soviet-backed coup in Afghanistan paved the way for Moscow's future invasion of the country. Demonstrations against the shah wracked the Iranian regime, paving the way for revolution and the rise of the ayatollahs. Trouble erupted across Africa, from Somalia to Zaire and Zambia, some of it inspired by Soviet meddling...America's enemies had taken measure of the man during his first, change-filled year in office. They saw weaknesses they could exploit. In the second year, they made their move.
As Year One ends for President Obama, he faces increasing belligerence from Russia, Iran, and South Korea. Al Qaeda-related attacks increase. Obama's charm offensive with our enemies doesn't seem too be working well so far.
Just like with Jimmah Carter they see that Jug Hussein Ears is a major league pussy. The only people that he wants to be tough on are Republicans and Fox News.
Obama has the lens of history for guidance. Perhaps the President will consider the experience of his fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner.
I doubt it. This administration is gonna be such a disaster that JHE will not be called the black Jimmah Carter, Jimmah Carter will be called the white JHE.
A word of warning. Don't get old! Yesterday, I made my airline and hotel reservations for the monoski camp that I'm attending at Snowmass in January. Turns out I cannot count (or read, apparently) and I made my flight going out to Aspen on January 8 instead of January 7. Fortunately, I had a 24 hour cancellation option so I was able to cancel and rebook.
On top of that, I've been working on my refi. Spent a lot of time on the phone already today.
Also, I'm winding down from Eric's birthday bash. I haven't posted the required linkage of the people who were there, or added the newbie to my blogroll. I'm waiting for Elisson to write his post blogmeet poem. I can then steal the linkage from him.
So, on this rainy day in Beautiful Dunwoody I'm lazy. I mean it is really raining here. According to this AM's Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, the rain was not supposed to arrive until late afternoon. It was raining when I woke up this morning. So riddle me this. We have people who cannot predict the weather 24 hours in advance and these are the same people who think that they can predict weather ten years from now and declare with certainty that the planet is gonna die due to AGW. WTF?
Here's a joke from Ron. No this isn't about Eric and his lovely wife Fiona.
Now I'm really surprised that the doctor didn't save them some money and do redneck birth control. What's that, I hear you ask? You give a redneck a beer can with a cherry bomb (or an M80) with a six second fuse in it. You hand him the beer can, light the fuse and tell him to count to ten. After he reaches five, he puts the beer can between his legs to change hands. Boom! Quick and cheap.
As well as being a proud member of the VRWC.
Got both of the above from Dick.
Yannow, I'm really glad that the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation has all those fact checkers and copy editors, otherwise I might open up the morning paper and see a headline like this:
Bill Cosby to recieve Mark Twain prize
Wait a minute! That's exactly what I did see this morning. Jeebus! Don't they have a spell check program on the computers that the AJC uses? I would really like to post a link to this but the AJC no longer puts a print edition of the paper on its website. I did, however, scan a copy of the article. Here it is.
Dear AJC: It's i before e except after c, or when the sound is like a such as weigh or sleigh.
I learned that in the 4th or 5th grade fer crissakes. What's even funnier is that they spelled receive correctly in the text.
From my friend Pres. After all we are in flu season and Jug Hussein Ears has declared an emergency.
What is the difference between Bird Flu and Swine Flu?
For bird flu you need tweetment and for swine flu you need oinkment.
I spent a nice weekend in Tennessee with a great group of blodgers. I'm way behind on mail and the news as my WiFi did not work at the hotel. I do believe there may be a hardware problem with my laptop. I got the "limited connectivity" status. I could have taken it to Eric's house, but I prefer to blodge alone. When I'm with the Blown-Eyes, I'm with the Blown-Eyes.
I should be back to normal tomorrow. Sorry there was no boobage or any other weekend fare.
Thanks to all of you who wished me Happy Birthday on Facebook. Holy crap! I'm 63! How did I get that old?
I'm heading up to Eric's tomorrow for his annual birthday bash. I will not be driving through Benton Tennessee. That's where I got my last ticket.
Unfortunately, the elder half of the Elderly Brothers and his bodyguard will be unable to attend this year.
One of the problems with liberal schemes are the unintended consequences. For example, due to the Great Fucking Society we have bred a permanent underclass solely dependent upon the gummint. We saw what that led to in Nawlins when the gummint failed the welfare leeches who were unable to cope on their own. Wait! Maybe the Great Fucking Society was designed to breed welfare leeches. After all, they vote for Dimocrats the party that keeps them poor and on welfare. Maybe this wasn't such a good example after all.
Howza 'bout cash-for-clunkers. Now this is a good example.
In her search for a cheap, used minivan for her and her husband, Krissy Dieroff has visited seven dealerships across Berks and Schuylkill counties in the last week, but to no avail."There's not much to pick from, and the ones we do find are overpriced," said Dieroff of Auburn, Schuylkill County, while browsing the lot of a city dealership on Monday.
Dieroff blames the shortage of inexpensive used cars on the federal cash-for-clunkers program, in which almost 700,000 used vehicles were traded in for newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles, and then scrapped.
Yep! They took perfectly good vehicles and trashed them.
Those clunkers were the cars Dieroff and her husband, Jason Boyer, would have been shopping for, they said."I saw the cars they were putting in the junkyard, and they were better than what we're driving now," Boyer said.
Critics of the program said that this is exactly what was gonna happen. They said it would affect the supply of inexpensive used cars and that's exactly what it did. By the way Krissy, did you by any chance vote Dimocrat? I bet you did.
In his 20 years in the business, salesman Mark Sauer has never had a tougher time finding inexpensive used cars."It's never been this bad," said Sauer, buyer and sales manager of Vaccaro's Auto Buyers of Reading, 805 Hiesters Lane.
The trend is occurring nationally as well.
The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index reported that prices reached record highs in September. The consulting firm that publishes the index blamed low inventories.
Oh no! It's that old pesky law of supply and demand thingy that the libs are always trying to circumvent. When you have less of sumpin' the price usually goes up.
And there are more unintended consequences. Cash-for-clunkers really only moved new car buying up a few months. People who were planning on buying a car in the near future took advantage of CFC. New car sales are now dropping. As an added bonus, the people who used CFC are gonna find that $4500 the gummint "gave" them is taxable.
So the gummint wasted $3 billion of our money to destroy inexpensive used cars and cause a temporary blip in new car sales.
Hope. Change. Another stupid gummint program.

This warms the cockles of my heart. From my friend Pres.
My girl Cynthia McCommie is in the news again and, as usual, it's not good news, at least for her.
Former Democratic congresswoman Cynthia McKinney of Decatur has agreed to pay $6,000 to the Federal Election Commission for violations during her failed 2006 reelection campaign, according to documents released Monday.
McCommie? A Dimocrat? Campaign violations? I'm shocked!
My AJC colleague Bob Keefe says FEC records show that McKinney and her campaign treasurer, Joan Christian, agreed to settle a case involving $21,300 in contributions from individuals and political action committees.The contributions from unnamed donors exceeded federal campaign contribution limits of $2,100 per person, according to the FEC.
Of course, the Jug Husein Ears' campaign was guilty of this also, but he's too big of a fish.
According to a conciliation agreement released Monday that was signed by an attorney for McKinney and by FEC officials, the former congresswoman also did not properly disclose receipts, reimbursements and cash it had on hand. The campaign also made numerous other errors in its finance reports.
But she's a black Dimocrat. This is obviously racist!
The FEC would have sought “a substantially higher” civil penalty in the case, according to the settlement, but didn’t because McKinney’s campaign funds were depleted. McKinney agreed to personally pay the $6,000 fine, according to records.
So she's paying the fine out of her own pocket. It's prolly money she got illegally anyway.
I just got a Facebook friend request from my ex-wife whom I haven't seen in 42 years. It was not a very amicable divorce. Wonder why she wants to be my friend? Maybe she found out that I'm a SRF©.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
When we got divorced, she was boinking my best friend from Navy ET school. I didn't know that at the time. I saw him two years later when I was walking Shore Patrol in Olongapo City in the Philippines. He pretended that he didn't know me. I couldn't figger out why until my mother (who worked with a friend of my ex's mother) told me she had married him not too long after the divorce. I guess he was afraid I'd knock the shit out of him with my billy club. I wouldn't have. I realized I was much better off without her. She was his problem now.
She was a babe, but as the old saying goes, no matter how hot she is, someone, somewhere, got tired of her bullshit.
Another rant from guest poster, Ron.
Rainy when I got up today, so I couldn't go for my morning walk or bike ride. Left me with nothin much to do since I decided recently to alter my browsing routine (been spending too much time at certain blogs and writing pithy essays which nobody's interested in). Discovered just how precariously on the fringes some people are out there in flyover land. Lotta suspicion, lotta cynicism, lotta anger, lotta guns.Kept running into the "Let's fire 'em all and start over" chant. Kinda hard to avoid that kinda stuff when you start out on a right-wing site and springboard from its blogroll. Finally decided to slip over to the left side of the spectrum and see what they're up to.
Sheeeeesh! The bats have left the cave. They're STILL bitching about Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeldt and how the war in Iraq was a poorly disguised ploy to take over Saddam's oil fields and make Halliburton obscenely wealthy. Also, found some die-hard nut cases insisting that the attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon were designed and implemented by our own government . . . as well as a few who maintain that no astronauts ever set foot upon the moon.
I won't even get into the issue of Rush Limbaugh's eligibility to become part owner of an NFL franchise and whether the players would actually suit up if he got involved. Good grief! Yeah, he's a pot-stirrer and an alarmist and generally a troublemaker, but hell, so is Olberdweeb . . . and Matthews, and Maddow, and Maher, and Garafolo, and Glover, and Baldwin, and Streisand, and Sarandon, and on and on and on and on.
Anyway, no matter which extreme I went to, I kept seeing the words mistake and error and disaster and fraud and all that kinda stuff come up. Well, go-o-o-llee, Sgt. Carter. Who ISN'T a mistake these days! I mean, look up the meaning, the concept, of error and you should find a painfully accurate description of Congress.
Our central legislative gang today reminds me of one of those cheap, pointless toys which you wind up and set on the floor and watch it run around mindlessly bumping into things and scratching up furniture until it needs winding again.
Most of the time our "elected" servants appear to meander aimlessly between utter chaos and zombie-like obedience to some sort of self-serving mantra of greed, graft, waste, and abuse. And the chaos is not the cute, cherubic Captain Chaos in Cannonball Run, but a brainless, soulless, aimless, amorphous, infectious, parasitic blob of equivocation and obfuscation, spinning anything which comes into contact with it beyond the power of human recognition: health care, the economy, terrorism, Gitmo, cash for clunkers, Social Security, MediCare/MedicAid . . . I can't remember anything really useful coming out of that body in the past dozen years or so.
The majority of the US Congress would have nothing to fear from the risen corpses in Night Of The Living Dead since they have either donated their brains to the North American Society for Legislative Miscreancy or left their thinking caps on a peg outside the Capitol and can't remember where to find them . . . just 535 lawyers with closed minds, open mouths, fake smiles, and upturned palms who long ago traded their spines for guilt, apology, and kumbaya with petty tyrants.
Some of them would have us either surrender or convert to Islam so that the radical Muslims'll leave us alone. Others would like to return everything west of the Mississippi to Mexico and make speaking Spanish mandatory throughout the country. A dangerously large number want to confiscate all the available wealth in the nation and distribute it equally amongst ALL residents, both legal and illegal, to eliminate all forms of discrimination and deprivation once and forever. And those too inept to choose from amongst those options simply fall back on blaming previous administrations.
So why am I telling you all this? 'Cause I'm tuning out, turning off, and shutting down. Not gonna crank out my carefully crafted trademark invective and snarky sarcasm for a while. Not gonna read any blogs. Not even gonna pay any attention to the news.
If prodded or queried, I'll answer, but I'm pretty much convinced nobody reads my rants anyway. Hell, nobody reads any more. Anything longer than a 50-word paragraph causes the eyes to glaze over and the cerebrum to go into "sleep" mode. I'll send along cute pics or jokes or beautiful fotos or such, but no more commentary unless somebody specifically asks my opinion on something (a mistake on various people's part which tends to occur maybe 3 or 4 times a year).
A clergyman experiencing this attitude would call it a crisis of faith. Most people refer to it as "the blahs" or "deep in a funk" or something. A politician might consider it an attack of ethics or conscience. As for me, I'm just disheartened by our leadership, disgusted by our media, and discouraged by our values.
Guess I need to find a nice cave or mountaintop or something, some kinda green world to purify my precious bodily fluids, recharge my batteries, and sharpen my daggers. Ahah! And now that I've finished this, the sun has come out. What a portent . . . a sign from Ma Nature! And we all know it's not nice to disregard her.
As y'all know, It's FOD at the Criplets. Today, as a public service announcement, Kerrcarto posted the symptoms of the swine flu.

This one is from Thomas.
A Sheriff in a small town in Texas walks out in the street and sees a blond haired cowboy coming toward him with nothing on but his cowboy hat, his gun and his boots. He arrests him for indecent exposure. As he is locking him up, he asks 'Why in the world are you walking around like his?'
The cowboy says, 'Well it's like this Sheriff I was in this bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to go out to spread with her. So I did. We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my shirt.. So I did. Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my pants. So I did.
Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my shorts. So I did.
Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy and says, 'Now go to town cowboy.
'And here I am.'

I already know what Toejam is gonna say about this one.
This week I'm giving to to John McRINO's butt boy, his MiniMe, Lindsey Graham. Why? Because just like his idol, he has decided to "reach across the aisle", and screw the voters.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina publicly announced his support for climate legislation on Sunday in an op-ed column with Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts."Our partnership represents a fresh attempt to find consensus that adheres to our core principles and leads to both a climate change solution and energy independence," the two senators wrote in The New York Times. "It begins now, not months from now — with a road to 60 votes in the Senate."
Way to go asshole! Buy into junk science and impose new taxes. That's what Dimocrats do. What's your excuse?
Here's your award.
We sent the soberest dude at Camp Blownstar out on a beer run.

Sometimes I get a kick out of reading the letters to the editor in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation. Today there was a good one. Typical anti-war liberal blather from Peter DeLorenzo, Atlanta.
War never works, and it won’t this time either
Except the Civil War which ended slavery. Or WWII. Or the Cold War which wound up freeing Eastern Europe. I'm sure we could find other examples, but I'm just using the 20th Century.
War solves nothing anymore. It is a blasphemy. We are wasting precious resources that we could be using at home, toward getting people health care. U.S. foreign policy is abominable and has been for several decades. Our nation’s economy is collapsing. We can’t afford this. So many people have died, and for what? For an illegitimate government that rigs elections? Occupation never works. It won’t this time.
Occupation never works? Germany and Japan seem to have turned out OK after our occupation after WWII. Jeebus! Do they even teach history anymore?
So yesterday the Dow topped 10,000. That led some Jug Hussein Ears fellators to break out their knee pads and worship the Obamessiah. I think we all know whom I'm talking about. So we're in great shape right? Halleluiah. Praise the Obanessiah! The recession is over! Happy days are here again!
Hold it right there semen breath! Let's look at what else happened yesterday.
The dollar slumped to a 14-month low against the euro on Wednesday, pushing the price of gold to a record high and crude oil futures above 75 dollars for the first time in a year.
Dollar down. Oil up. Gold at a record high which usually portends inflation.
Currently we are experiencing deflation, which is why the geezers aren't getting a Social Security cost of living increase this year. Congress and JHE are gonna try to placate the geezers by giving them $250. Meanwhile, Congress and federal employees are getting a raise next year. Of course. Gotta take care of our public "servants". Ain't it great that the "servants" have it better than the masters?
But I digress.
The euro struck 1.49 dollars -- its highest point since August 2008 -- on increased appetite for currencies seen as riskier than the dollar and on prospects for super-low US interest rates in the face of rising economic confidence, analysts said.
Those "super-low US interest rates" make our debt less attractive for investors which makes it more likely that the Federal Reserve will monetize the debt, AKA print money (which they are already doing). Bernanke is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Raising interest rates will stifle the recovery. Keeping them low will lead to inflation. This is beginning to look more and more like the late '70's when we had Jimmah Carter running the country.
But the Dow is over 10,000. Move along. Nothing to see here. JHE is the best president this country has ever had.
From my friend Pres.
Yesterday I tried to have a conversation with
an Obama supporter. I had such a hard time making
any eye contact with him. Finally, I just gave up...
No, that's no Sally. She's here.
When I read stuff like this my blood starts boiling.
ALBANY, Ore. - At the Oaks Apartments in Albany, the management can fly their own flag advertising one and two bedroom apartments - but residents have been told they can't fly any flags at all.Jim Clausen flies the American flag from the back of his motorcycle. He has a son in the military heading back to Iraq, and the flag - he said - is his way of showing support.
"This flag stands for all those people," said Clausen, an Oaks Apartment resident. "It stands for the people that can no longer stand - who died in wars. That's why I fly this flag."
Good for him!
But to Oaks Apartment management, Clausen said, the American flag symbolizes problems.
What? They have a problem with supporting our country? They have a problem with honoring our military.
He was told to remove the red, white and blue from both of his rides, or face eviction."It floored me," he said. "I can't believe she was saying what she was saying."
It would have floored me as well and would make me want to floor the person who told me I couldn't display the flag.
Even long-time residents like Sharron White, who has flown a flag on her car for eight years, has been told to take it down.White said management told her that "someone might get offended."
Every time I hear that someone might get offended by the American flag, it chaps my ass. It also makes me wonder why, if they are so offended by an American flag, that they are living in this country. I would also like to tell them to observe the mistletoe I have hanging right over my ass.
They're offended by the flag? Get the fuck out of the country and go live somewhere where that country's flag doesn't offend you. You might try Cuba. Or Mexico. Why not Venezuela?
Resident we talked to who had been approached to take down their flags all told us the same thing: that management told them the flags could be offensive because they live in a diverse community.
Oh. I see. There are rat bastard commies who live there along with a bunch of MFCS who hate America.
Attempts to find out for ourselves why management would ban flags were unsuccessful. KATU wanted to talk to management at Oaks Apartments, but no one has returned our calls. The woman we were told had made the decision said she was "not going to answer any questions."
She's prolly an America hating rat bastard commie. She prolly voted for Jug Hussein Ears.
They must have taken a lot of heat for this because the ban has been lifted.
Would ya like to get one of these? It would be a big seller in Atlanta.
Thanks to PJ.
These guys did it again. This is even funnier if you know what Twilight Zone episode they used.
PT Barnum once said that there is a sucker born every minute. I think it's more like every second. All we have to do is look at all the idiots who fall for this man made global warming crap. I've stated before that it's a religious cult, and the head of the cult, Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW is laughing at the suckers as he's making a fortune.
But now it's getting really ridiculous. I have written before about San Francisco putting up kiosks at the airport so suckers liberal travelers could buy carbon offsets for their flights. I cannot believe people could be that stupid, but we are talking San Francisco here.
Now UPS is is getting in on the act.
UPS is offering customers a chance -- for a fee -- to offset the environmental effect of shipping their packages across the country or around the world.
And there are people dumb enough to fall for this bullshit. I guess UPS is now catering to the barking moonbat crowd.
The Sandy Springs-based shipping giant announced that its 1 million online account holders can buy a so-called carbon offset for their shipping, at a cost of 5 cents for ground packages and 20 cents for those shipped by air.
Or they can recognize bullshit when they see it and not waste money buying carbon offsets.
So what is a carbon offset?
A scam.
UPS describes it as a financial instrument aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A company that emits more carbon can buy an offset from a company that has diminished its carbon use.
Jesus H. Christ! What a crock!
UPS will buy the carbon offsets through a third party that will in turn invest in waste water treatment, reforestation and landfill methane mitigation projects, said Bob Stoffel, UPS's senior vice president of engineering, strategy, supply chain and sustainability.
Yeah. I really believe that crap. I wonder if Pope Albert has a piece of that company?
UPS will match the offset purchases in 2009-2010, up to $1 million.
If I were a UPS shareholder I would be outraged at this waste of money.
Stoffel said UPS models showed even a single-digit percentage of customers participating would have a huge impact -- even more than the purchase of low fuel emission vehicles."I think it's cool," he said. "If it has a low take rate initially, it will gain momentum."
If I were a stockholder, I would demand that this dipstick be fired. UPS is gonna waste money on junk science.
Another bunch of suckers. Yannow, I have some friends in Nigeria that want to transfer some money to the United States and they'll split it with y'all. Any takers?
That's the worst the Falcons can be after yesterday's game against the 49'ers. In 43 years, the Falcons have not had back to back winning seasons. That is their entire existence. The year after they went to the Superbowl, they had a losing season.
I had a lot of fun watching yesterday's game. At the start, all the announcers could talk about was the 49'ers defense and what a great job Mike Singletary had done. Now, I like Mike Singletary. He was the heart and soul of da Bearz' defense when they won the Superbowl. His defense did not look very good yesterday and they flat out quit on him in the second half of the game.
This game reminded me of a game on Monday Night Football back in the 70's. It was the Cardinals (when they were in St. Louis) and the Dallas Cowboys. I don't care how bad the Cardinals were, they always brought their A game against Dallas. The announcers, Frank Gifford, Don Meredith, and Howard Cosell, kept saying how Dallas was gonna win as the Cardinals racked up the points against the Cowboys. I think the final score was 38-10 Cardinals, but it wasn't until the 4th quarter that the trio in the booth gave up on Dallas.
Yesterday's game was like that, and Moose, Goose, and Albert were just stunned in the first half about how bad the 49'ers defense looked. This was a defense that was supposed to swarm to the ball. But wha' hoppened? Don't worry. Singletary was gonna blast them at halftime, and they would come out playing. Instead, they quit on him.
one of their cornerbacks showboated after getting an interception and was stripped of the ball on his runback and fumbled it right back to the Falcons. The 49'ers got lucky and got the benefit of a bad call and recovered a fumble where the player who recovered was out of bounds. Karma then ensued and the Falcons recovered a fumble that wasn't and Singletary couldn't challenge the call because they were out of timeouts. This is what usually happens to the Falcons.
As all this was going on, the announcers were just stunned. They couldn't believe how bad Singletary's defense played. Hey guys, maybe it should have been how well the Falcons' offense played. I love it when announcers pick the wrong team to win and then have to eat their words.
Will the Falcons finally post back to back winning seasons? I don't know. Their schedule is tougher than last years' when they surprised a bunch of teams. They're playing da Bearz next week and da Bearz have got to be pissed off about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last year when the Falcons defeated them in the last seconds of the game last year.
At least they won't finish any worse than 3-13.
Back when I was employed or going to school, I really hated rain in the morning, especially on a Monday morning. It would be really hard to get out of bed when it was raining. Rain makes me sleepy. This morning I awoke and it was raining really hard. Major league hard. I smiled and rolled over and went back to sleep. I love retirement!
This one is from Russ.
A daring vacationer in Vienna is walking through a graveyard on Halloween when all of a sudden she hears music. No one is around, so she starts looking to see where it's coming from.
She finally locates the source and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads, "Ludwig van Beethoven."
Then she realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward. Puzzled, she leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with her.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but it is also being played backward.
Curious, the ladies agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing and the expert concludes that the symphonies are in fact being played in reverse order.
By the next day the word spread and a huge group gathered around the grave to hear the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker approaches the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
"Oh, it's nothing to worry about" says the caretaker.
"He's just decomposing!!"

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

When asked why such a big password, she said that it had to be at least 8 characters long.
PeggyU knows how much Jimbo loves alligators so she sent me this story.
A 77-year-old man lost his arm below the elbow on Thursday when he was attacked by an alligator while playing golf on Fripp Island in South Carolina, the Island Packet reported on its Web site.
Jimbo's not that old yet, but he is older than I am!
The man, who was playing the 11th hole of the island's Ocean Creek Golf Course, leaned down to pick up his ball when a 10-foot long alligator grabbed his arm, said Kate Hines, general manager of the Fripp Island Property Owners Association, according to the report.The alligator then dragged the man into a nearby pond and went into a series of "death rolls," a technique it uses to tear apart its food, Hines told the paper. That was when the man lost his arm.
Talk about hazards on a golf course.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm in stitches here. This is freaking hilarious. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I was gonna give the award to Wolf Blitzer, who took Jug Hussein Ears' dick out of his mouth long enough to fact check an SNL skit about JHE's accomplishing nothing during his term so far.
It looks like the planet is starting to heal and the seas are starting to fall just like JHE predicted when he secured the Dimocrat nomination for president. Do you think the Nobel Peace Prize committee would actually give a prize to someone who has accomplished nothing?
They have high standards, after all. They gave the award to Yassir Arafat, a well known man of peace. They also gave it to Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW for his PowerPoint presentation on global warming. They gave it to Jimmah Carter because he bashed Bush.
I was expecting them to give it to Michael Moore, but durned if they didn't think JHE was more worthy.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's not really worth giving the Nobel Peace Prize committee the AOTW Award, since the Nobel Peace Prize ceased to mean anything years ago, but they did make me laugh by giving it to JHE.
Thanks for the chuckles dudes. Here's your award.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Stole it from here.
Update: Oh no! While I wasn't paying attention, he won even more awards.
We are so lucky to have him as our president. We truly are not worthy. Maybe we should let the French have him.
A funny thing happened in Bonaire. After breakfast, as I was leaving to go back to my room, one of my readers, Wade, who was also in Bonaire, introduced himself to me. Small world. He was down there diving as well. I always like to meet readers. Anyhoo, he sent me some of the dive pictures that he took. Here's one of 'em.
So what was the background info? I'm trying to refinance my house. This is the second time I've tried this. I fired my first mortgage broker due to incompetence and delays. The process went on with two different loan officers and took over four months. They kept asking for more and more documentation. I don't mind supplying documentation, but I get tired of the bullshit when they keep asking for more and more documentation. All of this documentation should have been requested up front.
Four freaking months! That is inexcusable! I have fantastic credit scores. I have clean credit reports. No late payments. Never missed a payment. Plus, I'm a SRF©. People should be banging down my door trying to lend me money.
So, I'm with a new mortgage broker. We started the process yesterday. I started collecting the documentation they need. I've scanned everything in and sent them everything as PDF's.
My old mortgage broker has called me several times and left messages on my answering machine. He's also e-mailed me and apologized for their crappy job. Sorry dude. You had four months to succeed and you failed miserably. I'm not the gummint. I don't reward incompetence.
Got a little case of writer's block, plus there is stuff happening in the background. It's not like I charge for this.
Aramalamadingdong has him pegged.
From Gayle.
Frequent contributor Ron has done it again. He's Obamasized quotes from past presidents.
President Barack Hussein Obama updates famous quotes from past presidents:
George Washington: To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
Barack Obama: To have really good speechwriters is one of the most effectual means of re-election.
John Adams: The happiness of society is the end of government.
Barack Obama: What people really want is someone telling them what do to, how to do it, and when to do it.
Thomas Jefferson: That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
Barack Obama: What people really want is someone telling them wh-- , oh, I said that already.
Thomas Jefferson: The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
Barack Obama: The price of government should be paid by overtaxing the rich.
James Madison: I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
Barack Obama: Most people are too stupid to deal with freedoms and need the guidance of federal czars to show them how to manage their lives.
James Monroe: National honor is a national property of the highest value.
Barack Obama: Teleprompters are the most valuable property a government official can have.
John Quincy Adams: Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
Barack Obama: Always vote for the socialist, and don't worry if your vote is lost 'cause we have thousands of dead people's names we haven't even used yet.
Andrew Jackson: I know what I am fit for. I can command a body of men in a rough way, but I am not fit to be President.
Barack Obama: I am the magic negro and I can do anything, even be President, even though I'm not qualified for the job.
Martin Van Buren: It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't.
Barack Obama: It is easier to blame Bush for everything that goes wrong.
William Henry Harrison: I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free.
Barack Obama. I believe, and I'll prove it to you, that the best government is that which costs the most.
John Tyler: Popularity, I have always thought, may aptly be compared to a coquette -- the more you woo her, the more apt she is to elude your embrace.
Barack Obama: The average American is like a mushroom -- the more horseshit you feed him, the more likely he is to vote Democrat.
James Polk: Public opinion: May it always perform one of its appropriate offices, by teaching the public functionaries of the State and of the Federal Government, that neither shall assume the exercise of powers entrusted by the Constitution to the other.
Barack Obama: It's precisely that kind of nineteenth-century twaddle that has gotten us into the fix we find ourselves in today. The states need to relinquish ALL power to ME.
Zachary Taylor: The idea that I should become President seems to me too visionary to require a serious answer. It has never entered my head, nor is it likely to enter the head of any other person.
Barack Obama: The idea that I should become both King and a Living God seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Millard Fillmore: It is not strange . . . to mistake change for progress.
Barack Obama: What's strange is to continue operating with a set of rules written by white men in white wigs and knee britches over 200 years ago.
Franklin Pierce: The storm of frenzy and faction must inevitably dash itself in vain against the unshaken rock of the Constitution.
Barack Obama: The storm of conservative frenzy from right-wing nutball factions will inevitably dash itself in vain against the supreme logic and beauty of Das Kapital.
James Buchanan: The ballot box is the surest arbiter of dispute among freemen.
Barack Obama: Ballot boxes are for rubes and idiots. The true determiner of elections is ACORN.
James Buchanan: There is nothing stable but Heaven and the Constitution.
Barack Obama: The most trustworthy forces in the universe are socialism and ACORN.
Abraham Lincoln: You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Barack Obama: You can fool black people most of the time, and liberal white people all of the time, and if you can just get half the Latinos to vote for you, you'll win.
Andrew Johnson: The goal to strive for is a poor government but a rich people.
Barack Obama: The noblest goal is an all-powerful central government and redistribution of rich people's money.
Ulysses S. Grant: My failures have been errors of judgment, not of intent.
Barack Obama: It remains to be seen if I will have had any real failures, and if I do, they'll be Bush's fault.
Rutherford B. Hayes: Nothing brings out the lower traits of human nature like office seeking.
Barack Obama: Nothing requires so little qualification and experience as running for President.
James Garfield: Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.
Barack Obama: If it appears your industry and commerce might run out of money, print up some more.
Chester A. Arthur: If it were not for the reporters, I would tell you the truth.
Barack Obama: If I had a clue what it is, I would tell you the truth.
Grover Cleveland: A man is known by the company he keeps, and also by the company from which he is kept out.
Barack Obama: Hey, I never listened to Reverend Wright, and Bill Ayers is just a guy I met at a party one time . . . honest!
Grover Cleveland: It is the responsibility of the citizens to support their government. It is not the responsibility of the government to support its citizens.
Barack Obama: It is the responsibility of the citizens to support the government, and it is the responsibility of government to take from the rich and give to those who voted for it.
Benjamin Harrison: We Americans have no commission from God to police the world.
Barack Obama: We Americans have no good reason to pick on devout Muslims or to support Israel.
William McKinley: In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.
Barack Obama: In these darkest of times, it's Bush's fault.
Theodore Roosevelt: To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Barack Obama: To criticize any Democratic president is unpatriotic. All Americans must stand by me with my programs of hope and change. Failure to do what you can to support me is racist.
Theodore Roosevelt: Speak softly and carry a big stick.
Barack Obama: Talk constantly and get rid of the stick.
William H. Taft: Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution.
Barack Obama: The American people elected me on the hope that I would change the Constitution so that people with too much property are required to give it to low-income blacks and other disenfranchised deadbe-- uh, freelo-- uh, complai-- uh, sufferers.
Woodrow Wilson: Some people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Barack Obama: Some people call me a socialist. Well, of course I am, and the only reason socialism has never worked properly anywhere is that I wasn't The One in charge.
Warren G. Harding: My God, this is a hell of a job! I have no trouble with my enemies . . . but my damn friends, they're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights.
Barack Obama: This job can be lots of fun if you go about it right. I just let my czars and the mainstream media handle my enemies so Michelle and I can go on vacation at taxpayers' expense every few weeks.
Calvin Coolidge: Character is the only secure foundation of the state.
Barack Obama: Equivocation is the only safe way to handle issues.
Herbert Hoover: Absolute freedom of the press to discuss public questions is a foundation stone of American liberty.
Barack Obama: Freedom of the press is good . . .except where Fox News is concerned.
Franklin D. Roosevelt: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Barack Obama: The only thing I have to fear is the Constitution . . . and Fox News.
Harry Truman: We need not fear the expression of ideas, only their suppression.
Barack Obama: We need not fear the expression of ideas, except from Limbaugh and Beck.
Harry Truman: A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities, and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
Barack Obama. Harry Truman took over a war that was all but won and an economy that was the strongest in the world, not the mess I inherited from BushCo.
Dwight Eisenhower: I never saw a pessimistic general win a battle.
Barack Obama: I never saw a general I couldn't fire.
John F. Kennedy: And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
Barack Obama: And so, children of America, ask not what I'm going to do for the country; ask what you can do for me.
Lyndon Johnson: You ain't learnin' nothin' when you're talkin'.
Barack Obama: What!? Hey, if I weren't allowed to make speeches and foto ops, what would be the point?
Richard Nixon: I like the job I have, but if I had to live my life over again, I would like to have ended up a sports writer.
Barack Obama: This president job is one great gig, but If I could have a do-over, I think I'd like to be white next time.
Gerald Ford: A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
Barack Obama: Damn right!!
James E. Carter: We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
Barack Obama: He's right about the changing times thing, and we need to start working on changes to the Constitution, too.
Ronald Reagan: Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Barack Obama: Mr. Murdoch, shut down Fox News.
George H. W. Bush: If anyone tells you that America's best days are behind her, they're looking the wrong way.
Barack Obama: America's best days are behind her, and it's your son's fault.
George H. W. Bush: I want a kinder, gentler nation.
Barack Obama: I want to buy the world a Coke and sing Kumbaya in Arabic and Farsi.
William J. Clinton: If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you.
Barack Obama: Now that I've established my legacy as First Kenyan President of the United States, I don't really give a rat's ass what happens to the country. And besides, it's Bush's fault.
George W. Bush: We will bring the terrorists to justice; or we will bring justice to the terrorists. Either way, justice will be done.
Barack Obama: I will deliver apologies to any nation who wants one. I will free all the illegally held detainees in Guantanamo prison. I will bring government-sponsored health care to this country whether the people want it or not. I will bring the troops home. And if I don't succeed, it'll be Bush's fault.
People are really getting a lot of mileage from this video. Now Hitler is pissed about Chicago not getting the Olympics.
Got this from a pharaoh.

About this last one. When I was still walking fulltime, I slipped on a damp surface in a Kroger store. You should have seen all of the employees that drew. Everyone was very concerned. The store manager found me later to make sure that I was OK. I'm sure they were worried about a lawsuit. It never even crossed my mind until later. I wasn't hurt. I just fell. I do it all the time. I was more embarrassed than anything else. No harm, no foul.
Due to an overwhelming demand (one person). Here's the recipe for the baked peaches.
4 ripe freestone peaches
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
6 Italian almond macaroons (such as Amaretti) crushed
1 tablespoon Amaretto
1 egg yolk
1. Preheatr oven to 350 degrees. Cut peaches in half from stem to root end. Give a little twist to free one side from pit. Gently twist pit from peach half and discard. Place peach halves, cut side up, in a greased ten inch baking dish. I used Pam.
2. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, almonds, macaroons, Amaretto, butter, and egg yolk. Beat with a fork to blend well. Stuff each peach hollow with almond mixture. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until peaches are soft and still hold their shape. Serve warm. To be even more sinful, you can top with whipped cream.
I got this recipe from a book titled 365 Easy Italian Recipes.
Mike sent me the following in an e-mail.
We should stop the Obama comparisons to Hitler. At least Hitler got the Olympics to come to Berlin.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Woody sent me the following:
Let me get this straight.
We're going to pass a health care plan
written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it,
signed by a president who also hasn't read it, and who smokes,
with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and
financed by a country that's nearly broke.
What possibly could go wrong?
Cindy's birthday was last week, so, as is my wont, I had her and Michael over for dinner Saturday night. What did I serve? A five course meal. Bruschetta, tossed salad, lasagna, baked peaches stuffed with a mixture of chopped almonds, crushed macaroons, brown sugar, butter, egg yoke, and amaretto, and finished up with Parmigiano-Reggiano. Delicious.
I haven't made lasagna in ages. The last time was when I had Bou, her boys, and her sister Mo over for dinner three years ago. I hate to make it just for myself. Back when I was younger and had more of an appetite I would, but now I don't eat as much. I'll get four dinners this week from the leftovers.
I bet you're wondering what wines we consumed. Wonder no more. We started out with a 2000 Dom Perignon. We then moved on to a 2003 Brunello di Montalcino from Michael's cellar. I supplied the oldest wine in my cellar, a 1990 Barolo that I had been saving for a special occasion. Wow! It was great! It's too bad I didn't buy more of this wine. And, since Cindy's birthday is the official start of cognac season at GOC Central, I cracked open a bottle of Delamain Vesper.
Needless to say, a good time was had by all.
From Paul and Richard.
A man boarded a metro bus. He was surprised by the driver, a bearded man, two feet tall. He was wearing a strange green uniform and a pointed red hat. He sat on a pile of pillows to reach the steering wheel. And he kept saying, "Tick-tock…tick-tock…tick-tock." The man asked another passenger about the driver. The other passenger explained that the driver was reliable and accident-free.
"But why does he keep saying 'tick-tock?'" asked the man.
"That's his job," was the reply.
"He's a metro-gnome."
One of the things I really like about this band was when their drummer lost an arm from a car accident, they didn't kick him out of the band. They waited until he learned how to play the drums with only one arm. Class.
Got this one from Thomas.
A man entered the bus with both of his front pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful blonde. The puzzled blonde kept staring at him and his bulging pockets.
Finally, after many such glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls."
Nevertheless, the blonde continued to stare at him for a very long time, deeply thinking about what he had said.
After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked,
"Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"
It should come as no surprise, to anyone who has been paying attention, that I'm giving the Award to Alan Grayson, Dimocrat Congresscritter from Florida, who said that by opposing Obamacare, Republicans want people to die. He was almost beaten out by Garrison Keillor who thinks we should cut off health care to Republicans and this would pay off the deficit. Huh? Kill the productive people who work and pay the taxes? Only a liberal could be that stupid.
What is it with these libs who are so obsessed with death. They are for partial birth abortion infanticide. Remember, it's the libs who are for the end of life counseling. Jug Hussein Ears himself stated that rather than paying for expensive treatments, maybe granny should just take the blue pill.
It's the Dims who want to cut Medicare but this Grayson asshole is accusing Republicans of wanting to kill people. He's also compared the Republicans health care plan to the Holocaust.
No. I'm not posting the YouTube videos of this asshat. He's to freaking assholish. He's earned this award.
Jeez. I just knew that I should have written yesterday about Jug Hussein Ears trying to get the 2016 Olympics in Chicago. Now it's too late. Chicago was ousted in the first round. John Galt commented:
IOC announced this morning that Chicago will not be getting 2016 Olympics - despite the AssClown in Chief's pitch.Former President, "Mr. Peanut", immediately commented that the IOC were racists.
Actually, I think I know why Chicago didn't make the cut. The IOC prolly remembered the Atlanta Olympics when the notoriously corrupt mayor, Bill Campbell, ran Atlanta. Campbell said that people coming to Atlanta for the Olympics were coming for an "African-American experience". Yep. He said that. He also said after he was convicted for corruption, that it was all raaaa-cist.
Campbell and his cronies also tried to milk as much cash out of the Olympics as possible. At the end of the Olympics, the head of the IOC always says that this was the "best Olympics ever". Alas, due to the incompetence and corruption of Campbell and his cronies the Atlanta Olympics was not "the best Olympics ever".
I think the IOC, remembering Atlanta and realizing that the Chicago gummint is even more corrupt than Atlanta could even dream of being, decided to give the Olympics to a city that didn't approach Chicago's level of corruption.
Not too hard of a task.
Update: I stole this from the Criplets.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder how much of the taxpayers' money was spent to send JHE and his cronies, lackeys, and worshipers over to Denmark to lobby for Chicago?
