This would be hilarious!
Sheehan to Feinstein: Filibuster Alito, Or I’ll Run Against You
The pinheads in CA wouldn’t know who to vote for!
And while I know that the majority of them would end up voting for Feinstein, they would all tell each other they voted for Mama Chavez (Caution – link not safe for those with queasy stomachs).
Hello everyone. Professor Booty here with a second warm up technique for folks who have been taken with the snow.
Now, I don’t recommend this technique unless the cold person in question has been thoroughly deltahwed using the technique from yesterday.
And even then, you should start at a moderate temperature. You will scald them otherwise
Miss Heather insisted on embelishing the demonstration.
Like the ladies in my class needed to know how to shower with relish.
In yesterday’s Seattle Times, they published a WaPo article about how the deficit will ‘increase’ if the tax cuts Bush and the Republican Congress put into effect aren’t repealed.
As per MSM standards, the aricle completely forgets to mention that the tax cuts have actually led to an increase in tax dollars coming into the treasury.
I don’t like deficit spending any more than you do, but if you need to make emergency home improvements (or fight terrorists) and you don’t have the cash on hand, you will need to take out a loan. And as long as someone is willing to lend you the money, you can’t be in all that bad of shape.
I just don’t understand how, when W-2’s will be coming out this upcoming week, the left of center folks can think they’re going to get any traction on this topic of telling people they need to pay more taxes.
The article includes this handy-dandy graph made by the AP from info gathered from the CBO
It shows that with the current projections, we will be out from under the deficit before 2015, and I’m willing to live with that, so long as the political pressure of living under a deficit means spending cuts in or the elimination of unnecessary fed programs and we keep killing terrorists.
And while the article hints at the quasi-accounting phrases “In the red/black”, I notice that the graph uses the colors red and blue,with the color blue standing for a surplus.
Very subtle, AP!
Of course, “Mr. No Veto Yet” has promised to finally use his veto if Congress overspends, but I’m not holding my breath while I wait for that.
They won’t say how big it was, but with a 1000psi beak bite, I don’t really care.
A giant octopus may have been looking for a date when it attacked a submarine off of Vancouver Island last fall.
The remote-operated vehicle, by Suboceanic Sciences Canada, was checking salmon research equipment 55 metres beneath the surface off Brooks Peninsula, on the northwest coast of the Island, on Nov. 18.
Underwater footage from the incident shows the octopus attacking the sub, first by attaching a couple of arms to an underwater cable. The octopus then reached another one of its eight arms out to grab the vehicle.
A nervous Mike Wood, of Suboceanic Sciences Canada, was operating the ROV and slammed on the thrusters when the octopus attacked. He ended up blasting the approximate 45-kilogram octopus with water, silt and seashells to get rid of it.
Too many wierd creatures in the big blue for me to venture too far out from a boat, the vast majority of them, we haven’t even discovered yet.
I’m not afraid of the unknown, it’s just that my 1911 doesn’t work well underwater.
Hello folks, it’s Professor Booty here with some tips on techniques to keep yourself warm in the frosy out of doors.
You’re probably wondering to yourself “Self, why would a guy with a Phd in Fanny Dynamics need to teach, let alone know about, cold weather survival facts?”
The easy answer is this: Those pictures you see of models running around in bikinis or even topless in the snow weren’t shot in a studio.
My students will be models in the near future and they will need to know about how to avoid frostbite and hypothermia.
Folks who regularly go out for snow sports know to dress for it, but how are you supposed to do that when the shoot call for no pants?
You ‘Buddy Up’ and use ‘The Heat Sync Method’ when someone feels they’re getting cold.
I’m sure you’ve heard of that method,
I reminded Miss Kate and Miss Cherie that a blanket of some kind is necessary to make sure the heat transfer takes place.
The Analog Mom emailed me some very good news yesterday: I might be getting my very own Cabelas!
Cabela’s, which describes itself as the world’s foremost outfitter of fishing and hunting gear, is considering a store site in Lacey, but the city, state and property owner would have to spend up to $30 million to land its 400 jobs.
The Nebraska-based company has expressed a strong interest in property in Hawks Prairie for a $40 million store.
Negotiations have just begun on the property off Marvin Road just north of its Interstate 5 interchange.
The store is projected to be 225,000 square feet. To compare, the Hawks Prairie Wal-Mart is expanding to become a 216,076-square-foot “supercenter.â€
OK, so it won’t just be for me, but I might just think of it as such. And it is in the perfect location: Far enough away from me that I won’t be there every weekend and close enough to the Analog Mom that I can guess where my future Christmas presents will be coming from.
It is also coming to a town that is business friendly and centrally located so that Rivrdog and I can meet up for lunch and then head on over to the store. It is also near enough to the epicenter of the Treehugger Community that having a decent “Hunting and Fishing Outfitter” in their midst would put them into a right good conniption.
C’mon City of Lacey, don’t screw this up.
Thank you to everyone who commented or emailed about Jake’s post yesterday.
The little guy is doing OK now that the anesthesia has fully worn off though he doesn’t like his pill-form meds.
But to cover my bases and clear the air here, I didn’t post that in the hopes of raising money to help with the vet bills. My schtick is being blunt as a 8lb sledge and I would have put something like that in the opening line.
We bought Jake his own health care plan the week we got him and that took care of 90% of the bill, knocking it down to just $60.
However, if you would like to donate to a noble cause involving animals, I would like to point you to Petfinder.Com.
Except for Pauly the Turtle, we have found each of the pets currently in our menagerie via that site. A bag of dog or cat food to your local shelter is always appreciated. Or, if you have the room, they have animals that are more needy for a home than the vast majority of ‘Homeless’ humans.
A word of caution though: Ol Cold-Hearted me can’t spend more than 5 minutes there without getting dew-eyed or adopting something. But I sincerely hope that you can find a shelter local to you that could use a hand if you have a hand to lend.
Until I stopped laughing to be able to post on this.
OK, so last week, Chris Matthews of ‘HardlyGotBalls’ fame compared the statements in the latest Osama tape to Michael Moore’s whacked out diatribe, which it is easily comparable to, as Lee from Right Thinking showed here.
The left went nuts and demanded an apology from Matthews, even though Moore hasn’t. But that is their mutated ‘advocacy gene’ acting up, so there really isn’t much to worry about there.
When Matthews ignored their demands, they fired up a boycott blog of Hardball’s advertizers called ‘Open Letter to Chris Matthews’, which, just like they’re demands is being ignored.
Whent hat didn’t work, demagogue Kos decided he would try the ‘Turnabout is Fair Play’ game. The trouble is, Kos wouldn’t know how to ‘Turnabout’ is he had a guy in a Smokey the Bear hat yelling at him to “about face!”
Nonetheless, he compared a total of two Osama quotes, one an anti-homosexual quote and the other an anti-Clinton quote, to ‘Republicans’ without giving any example of Republicans actually saying those things.
That had to be the funniest, most desperate and most pathetic thing I have seen him do since he deleted his “Screw Them” post, and I stop by there daily.
So now, to add fule to the fire, we have Saddam Hussein’s lawyers filing a lawsuit against the Bush Administration that is nearly a duplicate of the charges filed against them by the official Not In Our Name “Bush Crimes Commision” that I talked about on Monday.
I don’t know how many more murderous bastard will have to come forward spewing the left wing’s talking points before they realize how destructive their hatred of Bush is. But as long as it is entertaining and we don’t lose seats in Congress this year, I’ll just keep laughing (and posting) I guess.
I have seen a lot of blogger going on about the Hamas victory in the barely recognizable as such, election in for control of the ‘Palestinian Authority’. Jimmeh Cahtah giving his seal of approval to the ‘elections’ gave the stroy legs. But one thing I haven’t seen is the good side of the story.
Now, before you jump on me for having lost my marbles, hear me out:
With Hamas in a position of power, Israel doesn’t even have to make motions at talking to the PA anymore and neither do we. The “Palestinian Authority” is now an official terror state. With Hamas, the terror group that any sane country* recognizes as such, behind the wheel all of their past atrocities can be laid out every single time they speak up saying they want something from Israel.
Fatah was and is quite stomach churning, but Hamas makes people projectile vomit. They are a stain on the suit coat of the “One Worlder’s” who support them.
The IRA ran the “Political Wing/Militant Wing” dog into the ground and only the simplest of the simple will fall for that crap anymore. Hamas will have to choose to be one or the other, and we all know that they’ll never choose politics over killing Jews, so now, not only will Israel have justification for pulling the card on Hamas terrorists, they’ll be justified in taking out the new Hamas “Politicians”, who are much easier to find, because politician have to make public appearances.
I could be wrong, but I see this as at least somewhat of a good thing.
* I have never advocated the UN as “Sane”
The clean air freaks in California have declared cigarette smoke a ‘Toxic Air Contaminate’. That’ll be coming here to Washington in under two years, without a doubt.
Speaking of cigarette smoke, now that we have an uber-restrictive smoking ban (not even within 25ft of a building) that covers the whole state (except on Casino-American land), its after-effects are being felt.
Keeping the streets of Seattle clean has gotten a lot tougher in recent weeks for the men and women in the bright green vests who are charged with sweeping up downtown.
Cigarette butts, thousands of white and tan little nubs, are scattered over the sidewalks, clustered at the base of trees and clogging up gutters.
Flattened, soaked and foul, spent smokes have become one of the city’s major litter problems over the course of little more than a month.
“The cigarette butts are up 100 percent. They’re everywhere,” said Bruce Paul, broom in one hand, garbage can in tow with the other. Paul is one of downtown’s 30 “maintenance ambassadors,” employed by downtown property owners to keep the streets clean.
Since Initiative 901 went into effect in December, banning cigars and cigarettes from bars, restaurants, hotels and all other public indoor places in the state, smokers have taken their habit outside — and are leaving their butts behind.
If you make pack a day smokers smoke outside and don’t give them a place for their filters, some of them are going to use the world as their ashtray. Even if just 10% of them are litterbugs, the litter level goes up drastically.
I’m expecting the enviro-nuts to issue a statement any day now. They will, of course, forget that the butts are usually made of cotton and will bio-degrade and they will call it something along the lines of a ‘catastrophy’.
