Reflections From the Boob Belt
In honor of Steamboat McGoo’s creative borrowing from Snarky Basterd, I decided to go along with the Boob Belt theme, but in a different direction. Instead of the FLOTUS’ penchant for wearing wide belts to accentuate her ass and decentuate her chest, I shall endeavor to point out the mental boobery throughout the Obama-worshipping belt. Case in point: Jakarta builds a statue of young Obama
A bronze statue of a young Barack Obama in shorts and a T-shirt — and what appears to be a Nobel medal around his neck— has been erected at a park in Jakarta, Indonesia, near the school where the future U.S. president studied as a child, according to news reports.
The likeness of a 10-year-old Obama — his hand extended with what appears to be a butterfly resting on it — cost $10,600 and now stands in a corner of Menteng Park, according to the Jakarta Globe and AP.
No more Marlon Brando
To date, I’ve used a picture of Marlon Brando as my gravatar. Well, no more. I decided to use an image of myself as my gravatar. I admit, that my mustache is in a transitional period (growing back after a short trim due to a trimming fuck up), but fuck it.
Any other opinions you can kindly keep to yourself.
Things Are Tough All Over
Just when you thought employment was bad here, along comes this piece of news to put things in perspective:
Five young American Muslims arrested in Pakistan met with representatives of an Al Qaeda-linked group and asked for training but were turned down because they lacked references from trusted militants, a Pakistani law enforcement official said Thursday.
Now you need references to blow up innocent people?? (more…)
Police Charge Amish Man With DUI
Police in central Pennsylvania say they arrested an Amish man on drunk driving charges over the weekend after he was found asleep in his moving buggy.
Really, WTF? Let’s start with some logic; I’m not sure of Pennsylvania DUI laws and I’m too fucking lazy to look it up, but most states specify ‘motor-vehicle’ as a requirement for DWI/DUI. For example, generally, you can’t get a DWI/DUI on a bicycle or skateboard. In addition, although the story doesn’t say so, I’m assuming the horse wasn’t drunk.
Update: Well, what do you fucking know. The legislature in PA is fucking retarded.
From here:
Section 3802. Driving under influence of alcohol or controlled substance.
(a) General impairment.(1) An individual may not drive, operate or be in actual physical control of
the movement of a vehicle after imbibing a sufficient amount of alcohol such
that the individual is rendered incapable of safely driving, operating or being in
actual physical control of the movement of the vehicle.
(2) An individual may not drive, operate or be in actual physical control of
the movement of a vehicle after imbibing a sufficient amount of alcohol such
that the alcohol concentration in the individual’s blood or breath is at least .08%
but less than .10% within two hours after the individual has driven, operated or
been in actual physical control of the movement of the vehicle.
And then they appear to fail to define ‘vehicle’. So, essentially, you can be arrested for DUI on a fucking skateboard in Pennsylvania.
A Tribute….

Booze
I’d like to be completely clear: ANY BOOZE IS BETTER THAN NO BOOZE.
Moses brought up an interesting point. I pretty well slammed the Red Stag from Jim Beam. My final opinion of it was that bourbon should not be flavored at all… under any circumstances.
Moses pointed out that he is a college age fellow and that pretty much “booze is booze”. I honestly cannot disagree with this assertion. When I was young, any form of ethanol was “good enough”. For fuck’s sake lets think about some of the crap that we drank when we were young.
Polls
I’ve added a new feature to H&B. Polls. The current poll is simply a question of class of booze you enjoy. Yes, I realize there are many different Rums, Whisk(e)ys, Beers, etc. The next poll will probably take the top two from this poll and break them down into smaller categories. I’m just looking for the broad strokes here.
The other purpose of such a broad poll is just to see if any of you are interested in such a thing. It would take more effort than I care to expend to attach a particular user to his/her vote. I’m not going to lie to you, I probably could attach a vote to a user (not sure, but probably) but I do know it would be far more effort than its worth. I get that privacy doesn’t really matter when it comes to what kind of booze you like, but that goes for any future polls as well.
So, the big test will be over the next couple of weeks or so. I do know how many regular commenters i have and roughly how many individuals visit this site so I’ll have a ballpark estimate of how many folks give a shit about the polls.
One last word about polls as they relate to this site: Questions concerning topics I post about will be affected by the polls. That is to say if a significant number of my readers prefer whiskey to rum, I will place my priorities on whiskey as opposed to rum. That is not to say I’ll not eventuallly get around to both, but preferences will (and should) be dictated by those interested as I’m not a news organization.
(I will vote in each poll, but will not be the first.)
