Al Gore gets pwn3d by a ground-hog

Punxsutawney Phil guaranteed at least six more weeks of winter, and six more weeks of humiliation and ridicule of Al Gore, today when he came out of his hole and saw his shadow. The north-east has been blasted by winter storm after winter storm, yet Al Gore continues to bloviate about global warming, oblivious to the absurdity of it.

Seriously, I can't decide for whose way of making a living I have less respect, Al Gore or pimps. At least pimps are honest about what they do. Al's just making it up as he goes along.

I'm just weird like that

Maybe it's because I worked with somebody in college who had an extra thumb but, I'm one of those people who will count a person's toes at the pool if they stay still long enough. It's kind of like women who notice the presence or absence of wedding rings immediately after meeting somebody. The reason is because occasionally, you come across something like this.....

A baby boy was born in California with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, KTVU-TV in San Francisco reported.

Kamani Hubbard, the baby boy born to a couple in Daly City, has a condition called "polydactyly" — a genetic trait that causes the appearance of extra fingers and toes, according to the station.

Bay Area doctors say it is not an uncommon condition, but Kamani's is an extremely rare case.

The baby appeared to be normal at birth, and no one noticed his extra digits at first. His father was the one who eventually saw the boy's 12 fingers and toes — and said the trait seems to run in the family.

I'm not insulting about it. I mean it's no big deal really. It's just one of those macabre, curious, medical phenomenon that compels you to look.

It's pretty nice here in the South

For all you TRR readers who're snowed into your houses, freezing, huddled by the fire place hoping the power comes back on......I just thought you'd like to know, it's sunny and 65 where I am. My wife and I just caught a nice run in short-sleeves down by the lake. If it makes you feel any better, we talked about how cold it is everywhere else and how it must suck to be you all. Anyway, throw another dining-room chair on the fire and try to enjoy the weekend.

I kid, I kid.

As if you weren't annoyed by this post enough already, watch the most annoying infomercial about the stupides product ever.....



See, don't you feel warmer already?

The biggest crap sandwich......evah!!!!

I'm getting a little tired of conservatives like Sean Hannity, defending these bankers who're awarding themselves and their buddies millions in bonuses, funded by taxpayer bailouts, as Americans by the millions lose their jobs, in part because of how incompetently these bankers did theirs. The lame-ass defense they offer, is that in order to keep the best and brightest minds at the banks, they have to be given bonuses. If these criminal morons were the best and the brightest, then why are their banks going out of business? But for the infusion of billions of dollars of other peoples' money, they'd be unemployed too. These bankers aren't the best and brightest and most talented. They're the most criminally clever, that's for sure. The best you can say about them is that they are stupid and incompetent, and the worst is that they are criminals who're guilty of fraud, embezzlement, and theft, and should be in jail somewhere, rather than enjoying their $3million bonuses with their ditzy trophy wives in the Carribean.

Don't get me wrong. I have no problem whatsoever with banks turning as much profit as they can. It's the only purpose of a business. But when they demonstrate incompetence that approaches criminality, and are bailed out by taxpayers, many of whom are unemployed because of them, they should not be awarding themselves bonuses. Hannity is wrong on this one.

Sean offers this red herring as an argument: where's the outrage at how miserably the government has managed social security, education, etc? Why pick on the bankers and Wall Street types?

My answer: I've been outraged at the government for 20 years for it's corruption and incompetence. But when you have 40% of the voting population dependent on government in some way, you keep winding up with crooks in office regardless of your outrage.

The first $350billion was completely squandered by these guys. I wish Sean Hannity would tell me how it's right that that much money ended up in their pockets and they still won't ease the loan restrictions? Now congress is poised to give them another $1trillion, and we expect different results.....how exactly?

The Next President ?? !!

POSTED BY REID:

I received this piece of an advice column today. I don't know who or where Brian is, but I am now officially a fan. Maybe he can run for President - with this style of intellect who knows where the country will go.......

Dear Brian:

I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV -as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bed with my neighbors daughter. I'm 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's daughter is 22. We have been married for 10 years.

When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they have been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I will leave. He lost his job 6 months ago and is feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He will not go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.

Can you help?

Sheila

Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven for a short time can be caused by a variety of faults within the engine. Star by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If thats clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solve your problem, it could be the fuel pump itself. This could cause low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps.

Brian

My kinda guy... right to the crux of the issue with no frills advice and commentary!!

What's in a name?

Why are we spending grant money on stupid stuff like this?

Boys in the United States with common names like Michael and David are less likely to commit crimes than those named Ernest, Ivan, Kareen, or Malcolm.

Results show that, regardless of race, juveniles with unpopular names are more likely to engage in criminal activity. The least popular names were associated with juvenile delinquency among both blacks and whites.

So in spite of upbringing, education, drug use, environment, abuse, etc...what you name your kid has something to do with future criminal behavior. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's as stupid saying Chinese people eat a lot of rice and they have squinty eyes, therefore excessive rice consumption gives rise to slanted eyes.

On the other hand, everbody knows that any girl named Destiny, Bambi, Brandy, or Cheyenne has no choice but to become a stripper.

Escape attempt.......FAIL!

This clip is making the rounds, but in case you haven't seen the world's two most incompetent get-away artists, here they are.....



That looked like something from a Ren and Stimpy cartoon.

It's Ann Coulter Thursday!

This week Ann points out the perpetually, yet fraudulently, claimed victimhood of liberals and how they use it to browbeat everybody into voting for them and then doing what they say. Click on over to TownHall and check it out.

Normally I'm not a fan of the nanny-state dictating what consumers consume but, this is one of those products that probably should be regulated.....

Nassau Democrats passed a bill Monday to make candy retailers put candy and bubble-gum cigarettes behind the counter, much like real cigarettes.

In other news: They still make candy cigarettes.

Do you think it's a good idea for a company to market to children, products that are identical to products that are highly restricted to adult use? That's like having vending machines that sell for 75cents, cans of soft drinks that are identical to Budweiser cans but the can says, "Just like dad" on it.

There are lots of things that are legal for adults to obtain and use that shouldn't be made into toys, so children can pretend and learn to use them too. Am I the only one who sees the inherent stupidity in a society that allows the sale of candy cigarettes to children?

Cameras don't take porno pics, perverts do

Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are dragging America toward the dark, socialist abyss, and Peter King(R) New York is worried about stupid camera phones?

Cameraphone perverts of the world beware: the American government is after you.

Well, not the entire government - yet, anyway. According to the Camera Phone Predator Alert Act - a piece of legislation submitted to Congress by New York Republican Peter King - all camphones could be required by law to make a clicking sound when a picture is taken.

I'll bet the daughter of some big donor to King's PAC, had some teenage creep snap an upskirt picture of her in a mall arcade or something, and demanded congressional action to prevent it from happening again.

As a civilization, are we really to the point of making techological advances behave like the archaic ones they replaced because we can't get used to the new ones? Isn't snapping upskirt pictures illegal already?

Camera phones have to make a clicking noise? Are you kidding me?
