As you walk into a building (it could be anywhere), and you pass by an attractive young woman who holds the door for you and when you thank her, she says, “You’re welcome, sir.”
Or…
Your nose hair grows long enough to look like it’s part of your moustache.
Or…
Not only do you start sprouting hair in your ears, but it’s also grey.
The Election
McCain & Palin or Obama & Biden. The old, cranky guy with the shotgun-packing right-winger or the younger, inexperienced guy with the loose cannon. Great choices for president, eh? Kind of like having to choose between the gas chamber and lethal injection.
Truth be known, I probably would’ve voted for McCain before he picked Palin, but now I have to re-think that choice. First, I figured that anyone who can survive the Hanoi Hilton for five years can have my vote, but he’s also the closest to being bi-partisan than any other Republican I can think of. Then he went and picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate…obviously he picked her because her views are more right-wing than his and she can draw not only the extreme right-wing nut jobs, but maybe a lot of the female vote too. Because of McCain’s age, it worries me that the possible second-in-command is someone who appears to have no idea about foreign policy & has even less experience in government than his opponent. She is easy on the eyeballs though, which makes me wonder how many votes McCain will get based on that.
I liked how the McCain camp got hot and bothered about Obamas’ “Lipstick on a pig” statement. If anyone who has a brain (which leaves most right-wingers out) even bothered to look into the issue, they’d would’ve known that Obama was talking about how the GOP tries to dress up, pretend they’re for the people, but want to keep things business as usual. And it appears that the tactic the GOP used to get people pissed off about nothing worked, because Obama slipped in the polls right after he made his statement. Of course, talking about stupid shit is also a CLASSIC tactic by the GOP to avoid talking about real issues that concern people.
Having said all that, it’s not a bad idea for the GOP talk about non-issues, because as I’ve said in the past, we’re a nation of idiots who vote for people based on sound bites. Most people vote based on the fact that a politician supports one thing that they’re interested in and they don’t investigate where they stand on ALL the issues.
Newsweek had an interesting online article called In Search of Rational Voters that covers in more depth what I’m talking about.
Also, Anna Quindlen had what I think is a great article about the hypocrisy of the GOP when it comes the women’s movement called Can You Say “Sexist?”
Mickey Mouse, Tool of Satan?
According to Sheikh Muhammad Munajid he is. Munajid, a former Saudi diplomat in Washington, D.C., said in an interview on Arab T.V. that, "Mickey Mouse has become an awesome character, even though according to Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases." This was in response was to a question asking him about Muslim teaching on mice.
Mr. Munajid feels the same way about Jerry of Tom and Jerry fame.
See, I’m not the only one who thinks Disney is trying to poison the mind of our youths.
In The News
Don Gorske, a 54-year old man with obsessive-compulsive behavior, says that his behavior has caused him to eat 23,000 Big Macs since 1972. He even has documentation of this “feat” because he’s kept all the receipts too. The only day he hasn’t had a Big Mac was the day of his mother’s funeral, at her request.
No word on what his cardiogram looks like.
Sean Combs (I refuse to call a grown man “Puffy” or “Diddy”), music “producer” and maker of really ugly clothes, has admitted that he can no longer afford to fly in his own private jet because the cost of fuel is too costly. He appealed to his “brothers” in the oil producing nations to lower oil prices so he won’t have to fly coach with the common people.
Boo-fucking hoo. And would somebody, anybody, please tell me just what this asshole did to become rich AND newsworthy? PLEASE?
Rapper Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr., aka Snoop Dogg, was granted a visa to enter Australia earlier this month. Mr. Broadus was refused permission to merely apply for a visa in 2007 when he wanted to attend the MTV Australia Video Music Awards.
The reason Mr. Broadus had been refused to apply in the past by Australia’s former conservative government was because his “lyrics” (their words, not mine) were sexist and racist. Well fucking DUH! He’s a male rapper…what ELSE are his “lyrics” supposed to be about?
But anyway, they have a new government, which has softened their immigrations laws. Mr. Broadus has to do charity work with at-risk youths in the country and is subject to deportation if he fails to abide by the law during his visit.
Actor Russell Crowe wrote a letter to the government asking them to allow Mr. Broadus a visa because Mr. Crowe knows a thing or two about social behavior and following rules.
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more. The Dograt has left the building.
