Sunny just cracks me up! I found her by way of Maggie's Farm.



She reminds me of a young Catherine O'Hara.

Chicago's Charlie Trotter. Check out his reading recommendations. He stared in the 1997 movie My Best Friend's Wedding, where he memorably parodied himself. Here's what he said.

That felt good. Food and humor. The truly important things in life.

I think the English language should have rights, too.

Feminists view our beloved tongue as something to use for their political ends.

I'm not interested. But when I come across a clunky sentence at the end of an editorial in the University of New Hampshire newspaper--on a frivolous topic that's being blown out of proportion because of militant secularism--I can only shake my head, saying, "O tempora! O mores!"

Here it is:

When a student leader gives the pretense of acting on behalf of his/her constituents, he/she needs to actually be doing so.

I was going to wow you with a punched up version of "Why all your wireless stuff doesn't always work" as well as a few other related tidbits. But then I stopped by Fred Lapides' site (NSFW) and realized I had to chuck that idea until tomorrow. Instead I will be regaling you with a video that explains The History Of English...In Ten Minutes.



I couldn't have done any better myself. But he did miss two very important variants of English: Spanglish and Japlish.

My missus showed me this video, stating quite accurately that it depicts exactly what we go through every morning with Cole, with one exception: Cole can't wield a bat...yet. I figure it's only a matter of time.


For more cat cartoons, videos, and pictures, head on over to Simon's Cat.

Something I got from a friend at work.


"More cowbell!!"

This bit of humor came from the comment section of this WSJ opinion piece.

It may not be relevant, but it is funny. At least it is to me.

A Progressive, a radical Muslim, and a Libertarian disturb an old oil lamp and a magnificent genie appears. The genie, thankful for his release, addresses the trio, "Thank you. To show my gratitude, I shall grant each of you a wish."

The Progressive pushes himself to the front and says, "I would like all of my progressive brothers and sisters to be whisked away from this barbaric county and placed into a beautiful Utopia where the government will cause everyone to live correct and happy lives!"

The genie exclaims, "Shazzam, Socialist Utopia!" and the Progressive disappears.

This excites the radical Muslim who then quickly blurts out his wish. "I would like all my brothers that believe in the one and true God to be whisked away from this barbaric country to a beautiful oasis where Allah and Sharia law will cause everyone to live correct and happy lives!"

The genie exclaims, "Shazzam, Sharia!" and the radical Muslim disappears.

The Libertarian smiles but makes no request.

The genie, having people to see and places to go, queries the Libertarian, "So, what wish may I grant you?"

"You really granted their wishes - all of the Progressives and radical Muslims are gone?" asks the Libertarian.

"Yes." replies the genie.

"Wow," says the Libertarian, "Then I'll just have a Coke."

I might have asked for a diet Dr. Pepper.....

BeezleBub and I watched Christopher Titus' Take America Back show on Comedy Central Sunday evening. He covered a wide range of topics, all dealing with taking back America and making it great again.

He touched upon one of my favorite topics - parenting. I won't bore you with the details of that as you can see it for yourself on Comedy Central or their website, but I have to say I agree with him, specifically on the topic of 'touchie-feelie' parents without the balls to discipline their brat of a kid. That wasn't the only topic he covered, of course. He got into a number of others, including racism, the economy, and government. On these last two he hit a home run.

He made a suggestion that struck a chord with both me and my son, bringing up a subject near and dear to my heart - the government's inability to stop wasting time and money trying to fix something they broke. His suggestion sounded like something right out of Atlas Shrugged.

I can't quote verbatim, so I'm not even going to try. But here's the gist of it:

Pick a day during the week (I think Titus said a Wednesday for a reason I won't go into), and between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, stop doing what you're doing. Don't work. Don't answer the phone. Don't drive. Don't shop. Don't travel. Don't do anything.

Right after 4 o'clock, we all send a text message to Congress and the President that says "If you guys don't stop screwing around and fix what you guys screwed up, we'll do this for a month!"

Do you think if we all went Galt for a couple of hours they might take notice?

Here it is, I thought that only Miley - our three-legged cat - was the only bilingual feline around. It turns out I was wrong, as this video proves.


At least Miley doesn't mind showing she's bilingual, unlike the character in the video above. As one commenter put it, "He does it so people will post noise complaints about the neighbor's dog."

Received via e-mail:

An Arizona Department of Safety officer pulled over the driver of a pick-up truck for a faulty taillight. When the officer approached the driver, the man behind the wheel handed the officer his driver's license, insurance card, truck registration, and a concealed weapon carry permit.

The officer took all the documents, looked them over and said to the driver, "Mr. Smith, I see you have a CCP. Do you have any weapons with you?"

The driver replied, " Yes sir, I have a .357 handgun in a hip holster, a .45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot."

The officer looked at the driver and asked, "Anything else?"

"Yes sir, I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 behind the seat."

The officer asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range and the man said he wasn't, so the officer bent over and looked into the driver's face and said "Mr. Smith, you're carrying quite a few guns. May I ask what you are afraid of?"

Mr. Smith locked eyes with the officer and calmly answered, "Not a damn thing!"

Indeed.

This is supposedly an eHarmony bio video. Watch it and you decide: Real, or fake?



I have to admit that I kind of feel the same way she does about kitties (though may not quite so intensely). After all, we have eight cats here!

What happens when the IT department runs out of money in its budget:

Heard at our local general store this afternoon:

A man walks into a bar. The bartender asks him what he'll have to drink.

"A bin Laden!" he answers.

"What's a 'bin Laden?" asks the bartender.

"Two shots and a splash of water..."

You heard it here first.

I've been working on a rather lengthy post, the subject of which was suggested by way of one of my regular commenters (Thanks, Paulina!).

However, doing the subject any justice has taken me quite a bit longer than I had thought it would and I don't want to do a half-assed job of it. (I prefer a whole-assed job, to be quite frank.) It isn't that I've been lazy. On the contrary, I've found a lot more information than I bargained for and it's taking me a lot more time to sift through it, verify it, and make sure I am holding my admitted bias in check...sort of.

So in the mean time let me leave you with this small bit of entertainment while I continue to toil away.

I forgot to post this earlier, but better late than never.

By way of Viking Pundit:

Saw a red bumper sticker today with the text: If this bumper sticker is blue, you're driving too fast.

Lordy, but I love science geek humor!

In case those of you out there think we Yankees aren't up to speed on all the new-fangled exercise fads, I'm here to tell you you're wrong. And to prove it, here's Fred Marple to give you a little preview of Yoga for Yankees.

I would be remiss if I didn't include this Public Service Announcement.

By way of Maggie's Farm comes this video which gives us important tips on how to deal with the Zombie Apocalypse during the Christmas holiday:

Get out of there!

There are times when I either have nothing really interesting upon which to comment or I get in late and have little time to produce anything profound or thought provoking. This isn't one of those times. In fact, I couldn't make up my mind as there are about eleventy-eleven things I could post about. So rather than fret over it I figured maybe some video might buy me some time.

Enjoy!

·Pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi is released from house arrest in Burma

That's the headline at Lucianne.com. So I wondered why libs haven't marched in lockstep in the military junta's namechange of their country to Myanmar. The libs did that when the Red Chinese notified us they wanted Peking called Beijing. I still like my Peking duck and Bombay gin, thank you very much.

So I go to a well-known website on foreign affairs and come up with Iran's phallus cemetery. All I can say is, Say What?
