Well, I was trying to come up with a post for a Weekend Open Thread, and lo and behold, found vintage ads!! Aren’t y’all lucky??
First off, for my boss:

I know what y’all are thinking… SIX DOLLARS???? Next up:

That’s right, drugs are the answer. For the record, I don’t take vitamins ![]()
Best….Title….EVAH!!!!

Found at JoBlo, which is also an awesome title. Tell me I’m wrong ![]()

That’s what I hear the bottle of wine telling me as I read this:
Mexican Officials to Patrol Staten Island Following Latest Bias Attack
What….the….HELL???? Since when is it the jurisdiction of MEXICO to patrol our lands??? Did I miss the Reconquista, or something??
Five men attacked the 40-year-old Mexican man Friday night as he was walking home after a soccer game at Farber Park, cop[s] said.(snip)
This is at least the sixth violent, ethnically-charged incident that has taken place in the neighborhood since April
Not to be cold here, but how is this news, exactly? Unless the city of New York and the burrough of Staten Island has been living under a rock, of course. Then I would understand. Of interest is the lack of information as to the ethnicity of the attackers. The following paragraph, though, brings to light the wherefore of the situation:
“We will act decisively in order to protect our citizens and will actively promote that those guilty of these vicious attacks are brought to justice expeditiously. We are working hand-in-hand with local authorities on all levels,” said Consul General of Mexico in New York.
Ahhhh…..now I get it. The victim is a citizen of Mexico.
The latest victim is a construction worker who has called the United States his home for the last five years.
This is why the Mexican Consulate has decided to “co-operate” and post guards at Staten Island. A move the consulate says is “an effort to safeguard the rights of individuals and effectively assist and provide information to the Mexican residents of this area.”
I was having such a great day, too. Then came the decision on SB 1070, and then I had to read this crap. If you want to see how political correctness is killing a nation, you don’t have to look at France or England. Just look at New York City. The fact that they are allowing the Mexican government to patrol their jurisdiction is in itself criminal.
Fuck the glass… just pass the bottle.
Paddling the pink canoe
Since so much fun was had in the last thread, I figured we should give the ladies a chance here.
So ladies, what do you call exploring Pi with two digits ?
So funny yet so wrong
The funny was too big for the front page….

Forget Zombie Reagan…
…. because we have ourselves a ZOMBIE CHENEY!!!
Mr. Cheney’s kind is about the size of a D battery and leaves most recipients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart’s own pulsatile beat.
Now that’s good news!

Good News, Randomly Generated
As events unfold around the World Wide Web, I can’t help but notice some happenings that --dare I type it-- bring a grin to my visage, by virtue of the implosion of hitherto unknown secrets being divulged through this capricious instrument.
The Daily Caller has been slowly, deliciously breaking the news about Journolist, a listserv of liberal-leaning so-called journalists, bloggers, political pundits, and academicians. The leaking of the e-mails about killing off the Jeremiah Wright story and trying to shut down a news network puts a freaking spike in the coffin of what was the MSM. The hatred for Rush Limbaugh was just icing. Searching back in the internet, her capriciousness delivers a scrumptious coup: turns out several members are policy makers, like Paul Krugman and Peter Orszag.
UPDATE: Journolist is not dead….it has risen from it’s putrescence as Cabalist.
Al Gore’s troubles, like his methane, just keep rising. Aside the Portland, Oregon investigation, not one, but TWO massage therapists have come forward. One accuser is from Beverly Hills, the other from Tokyo. The only thing that would have made this better was if one had been from Kyoto.
The Obamacare bill had a surprise: a sooper-sekrit gold coin tax. Why is this good news, you may ask? Because people are seeing this for what it is: a massive tax designed to crush small business and entrepreneurship, and enslave the middle class:
This provision [Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act], intended to mine what the IRS deems a vast reservoir of uncollected income tax, was included in the health care legislation ostensibly as a way to pay for it.
Scary, no? Interestingly, the government is going after GoldLine, a company who sponsors Glenn Beck. Investors are not happy.
The GOP may be having a tough time trying to search for a solid conservative candidate for 2012, but this should bring a spark to their collective eye: Americans would vote for ANY Republican over Prez Obama. I can’t WAIT to see Gibby spin this.
This star doesn’t need a teleprompter, just adoration from afar.
And finally, for when frustrations start getting to you, hit the button.
Have a good one!!!
