Friday, December 9th, 2011Smite sent me this little piece of heaven yesterday and I thought it was funny enough to post. It’s a fairly accurate – yet surprisingly politically incorrect map of New Jersey and its migration patterns. I still laugh every time I look at it. You’ll have to click the photo to embiggen teh funneh, but [...]
A Very Scary Moment At My Kids’ School
Thursday, December 8th, 2011This car crashed into what we’re pretty sure is Erik’s classroom. The accident happened at about 3:30 p.m. According to police, the car carrying the driver and a 4-year-old passenger crashed into the Maternity BVM School. The driver and the child were taken to a local hospital as a precaution, but police say the injuries [...]
Thank God We’re Not In A Recession
Thursday, December 8th, 2011Because seeing Michelle Obama take yet another separate flight to her fabulous Hawaiian vacation would seem hypocritical. The separate trip, which will go on if the Congress cannot extend the payroll tax holiday, will cost taxpayers an extra $100,000 – at least. But hey, it’s only (our) money, right? President Obama’s decision to send Michelle [...]
Whoring Is Hard
Thursday, December 8th, 2011But Lindsay Lohan makes it look easy. Leave it to Hollywood’s favorite train wreck to make Heath ledger’s death all about her. A diary purporting to have been written by Lindsay Lohan has revealed the actress was ‘in love’ with actor Heath Ledger at the time of his death in 2008. The memoir, obtained by [...]
Cannonball? Run!
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011Longtime reader and commenter ThomasF has jumped into the blogosphere. I’m sure he will find it as addictive as I did, although now I am completely hooked on Twitter. One of his first stories is explosive. It’s a laugh riot – only because no one was hurt. He did make a rookie mistake by not [...]
The First Rule Of Skate Club . . .
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011Is to tell Dad about Skate Club. My youngest son had a field trip today with his Pre-K class. Like most of his field trips, the class went somewhere cool. In this case, it was to the Flyers Skate Zone across the street. It was Kevin’s first time on ice, so we had him use [...]
Philly DA Takes The Coward’s Way Out
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011Friday will mark the 30th anniversary of the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. It is obviously a somber anniversary, especially since his assassin, Wesley Cook – aka Mumia abu-Jamal – is still breathing. And just when you thought the day couldn’t get any worse, in steps Philadelphia DA Seth Williams. It would be [...]

Five of eight battleships, three destroyers, and seven other ships were sunk or severely damaged, and more than 200 aircraft were destroyed. A total of 2,400 Americans were killed and 1,200 [...]
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews’ Brother Arrested
Tuesday, December 6th, 2011There are few people in the media I despise more than Chris Matthews. He’s an ignorant, arrogant ass. So I giggled when I saw this story. A lot. This, my friends, is the dictionary definition of schadenfreude. After an 18-month grand jury investigation, Montgomery County Commissioner Jim Matthews has been arrested on charges of perjury. [...]
Bob Woodward Is Just Like Us
Tuesday, December 6th, 2011The infamous reporter hates Al Gore, too. In a speech at the Organization for International Investment’s annual dinner at D.C.’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Thursday, the famed Washington Post journalist, who helped uncover the Watergate scandal, disclosed that he doesn’t enjoy the former vice president as a tablemate. Describing an event where he was next to [...]
