Tuesday, November 30th, 2010Dammit! I already paid for my trip over there! Yeah, before you question the headline, no, I am not drunk. The headline is legitimate. Disgusting, but legitimate. Apparently they are into some freaky things in Ghana, including the sale of “recycled” underwear.” It is my sincere hope that they at least wash the undies before [...]
John Kerry: No Big Fan Of Israel
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010The despicable website WikiLeaks unveiled still more classified documents this week, possibly endangering foreign-placed personnel and embarrassing the United States government. Among those who should be – but probably won’t be – embarrassed is Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who spent his time in Qatar selling out America’s only true ally in the Middle East: Israel. [...]
NFL Player Blames God For Dropped Pass
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010Meet Steve Johnson. He is a very talented wide receiver for the very terrible Buffalo Bills. On Sunday, he had a chance to seal a win for his team and beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in one fell swoop. All he had to do was catch a pass in the end zone during overtime. Guess what [...]
Mexican Flight Attendants Pose For Calendar
Monday, November 29th, 2010So, imagine you’re a stewardess – or if you prefer, a flight attendant. You’re loving life and enjoying your work, only to find out that your airline is swirling around the toilet. What’s a girl to do? Pose in bikinis and skimpy outfits for a calendar, of course! Stewardesses from ailing Mexican airline Mexicana pose [...]
Mayor Squidward Goes National
Monday, November 29th, 2010And much like he has been doing to Philadelphia for the last few years, Michael Nutter dropped the ball. There’s nothing more infuriating than seeing a mayor embarrass himself on national television. And people wonder why my town is in the crapper? During a discussion about President Obama’s working relationships with Republicans, Nutter delivered his [...]
Leslie Nielsen, 1926-2010
Monday, November 29th, 2010One of the great talents of our time. Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in “Airplane!” and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in “The Naked Gun” comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84. The Canadian-born actor died from complications from pneumonia at [...]
The Not-So-Grateful “Dead”
Monday, November 29th, 2010Well, Episode 5 has come and gone, and as always, this was a damned fine piece of television artistry. There are spoilers below the fold.
God Hates Me
Sunday, November 28th, 2010So, it’s not bad enough that I’ve had the two weeks from Hell. My misfortune has carried over to my sports world. Denny Hamlin lost a lead in the final race to lost the NASCAR championship to Jimmie Johnson. The Denver Broncos are terrible on toast and can’t beat the lowly Oakland Raiders. Then yesterday, [...]
It’s Time To Boycott 1210-AM WPHT
Sunday, November 28th, 2010Of course, that’s only what I’m doing. Usually, I think boycotts are less than ineffective. Most times, they don’t work, and don’t affect the person or business being boycotted one iota. That being said, I’m doing this one on principle. (Who knew I even had principles?) I will never, ever, listen to “The Big Talker [...]
A Great Idea To Honor A Great Man
Sunday, November 28th, 2010I saw this story over at Ace and needed to post it a.s.a.p. For those not in the know, Major Dick Winters is my personal idol. I wanted nothing more than to meet him in person. Now, the Pennsylvania native of Band of Brothers fame is ill. A Pennsylvania boy is now trying to raise [...]
