Pelosi Doubles Down on Stupid
Pelosi: Today We Pray To St. Joseph The Worker For This “Life-Affirming Legislation”
Here’s the thing: MaDamn Pelosi 1) is praying to a saint, which I find rich in irony in and of itself, and 2) she is praying to the wrong saint. Today is the Feast of St. Joseph, the husband of Mary, who begat the Son of God, Jesus. Pelosi is praying to St. Joseph the Worker, whose feast day is May 1st. WTF kind of Catholic is this dumbass??
And it is patently obvious that MaDamn Pelosi doesn’t recall that no saints in our denomination support any form of abortion. Gawd, she gives humans a bad name.
Laying a Little Pipe Down…
Scouring the blogs, as I am wont to do, I found a particularly delish story at Lemur King’s site. Seems the Brits have a new way of dealing with stressed workers: sniff bottled fresh air. According to the National Trust, each jar can relieve stress for ten minutes. Frankly, I think they are better off stepping outside for free and breathing air instead of running the risk of getting a fine for not properly disposing of the jar. But that’s neither here nor there (for now). What really caught my eye was the top story in the Weird section:
Man’s Penis Freed From Metal Pipe With Industrial Grinder
Tell me the title alone doesn’t hurt. Docs at the local hospital had to call in the fire department to give the bloke a bit of relief, until he saw what the firemen were going to use.
The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch industrial metal grinder to cut the pipe from around the anaesthetised man’s penis.
This is a pic of an industrial grinder at work:
I can feel y’all flinching all the way to Texas.
ACORN Changes Name, Still Just Nuts
Today came word that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, has decided to disband its national name in favor of “reorganizing under new local community groups to get away from the notoriety” of the acronym. While some say it’s a new and different organization, others are not so blind:
“This desolving of the national structure by ACORN is just a PR head fake. It’s a sham,” Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center in Washington, D.C. told Fox News. He says the new organizations will just continue ACORN’s work with the same agenda, in the same offices, just under different names. [snip]
“ACORN wants to keep the money flowing,” says Vadum. “In order to do that, they figure they need to change the name and change their image and they’re doing that by re-incorporating their state chapters under new names.”
ACORN has suffered deep losses after the James O’Keefe released videos of ACORN’s willingness to help a pimp with child prostitution and illegal immigration, among other things. Still, they manage to use him to raise money:
“Can you chip in $52 to help us keep the pressure on O’Keefe and his corporate paymasters?” the fundraising letter asked.
Though ACORN is actively campaigning, they do not disclose if the “new” organizations will get the money they raise. Interesting, no?
Hmmm….I’m sensing a naming contest here…. Who can come up with the best new name for ACORN??? 
Hullabaloo, Canuck, Canuck!!*
Back some weeks ago, I posted a tidbit about Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams electing to seek treatment for a heart ailment here in the US. Some questioned whether this showed a lack of faith in the Canadian system. Well, he has since spoken:
“This was my heart, my choice and my health,” Williams said late Monday from his condominium in Sarasota, Fla.
“I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics.”
Uh huh…. Williams had been diagnosed with a heart murmur, the cause being a heart valve that wasn’t closing properly, creating a leak. This was considered a “moderate” problem. The Canuck docs told him to come back in six months. So, he goes back eight months later, and the docs tell him the “moderate” problem is now “severe”. I don’t know about y’all, but if I were a Canadian citizen diagnosed with a “moderate” heart leak, I would make arrangements to be on the list to get it fixed ASAP. Now Williams has to have surgery. So, he chooses to come to the US for treatment because, “ I wanted to get in, get out fast, get back to work in a short period of time.” He goes on to do a mea culpa of sorts: (more…)
Karma and I Have Stuff in Common
Yes, we are both bitches. Also, I can levitate. However, unlike me who just tends to nag, Karma is as subtle as playing pizzicato with a jackhammer on a Stradivarius. Take today’s example:
Durham police arrested Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Gale Mangum, 33, late Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted her boyfriend, set his clothes on fire in a bathtub and threatened to stab him.
First rule of “D-list” celebrity notoriety: when you have been caught lying, STFU and disappear. Do NOT bring more attention to yourself. Especially after writing a book best classified as a pityfest. Or bad fiction.
Police charged her with attempted first-degree murder, five counts of arson, assault and battery, communicating threats, three counts of misdemeanor child abuse, injury to personal property, identity theft and resisting a public officer.
Looks like Ms. Magnum is moving on up! Not only did she beat up and throw things at her boyfriend, threaten his life, and set his clothes on fire, she did so after the police responded to the domestic disturbance call, no doubt placed by one of the three children present. But what about that “identity theft” charge??
Officers said Mangum gave them a fake name, “Marella Mangum,” and age, prompting the identity theft charge. She also resisted the officers who responded to the scene, according to police documents.
A bit late to think of that, don’t you think??
Her bond was set at $1 million. Mangum has been appointed a public defender and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 22.
Well, maybe she can ask Mike Nifong to represent her. I hear he needs a job.
And the winner is….
Thanks to everyone who played in the Caption Contest! All were good, some great, but one reached the pinnacle. The winner for the “Obama Bows to Mayor of Tampa” pic is Guy S., with the following entry:
*Whispering to Mayor Iorio* “I am not bowing! It’s just I have trouble standing up without a backbone.”
Also, honorable mention goes to Nicole:
You’re foreign right? You look kinda foreign. Even though I’m in one of the 57 states, I’ll just keep it on the safe side and bow.
Thanks for playing
Around the World Wide Web
Well, feeling a bit on the rundown side, but thought I would share some of the more interesting bits of news going around the interwebtubenets. Some funny, some stupid, some downright WTF invoking.
We start off in Canada, where we find Newfoundland’s Premier Danny Williams will be having heart surgery here in the United States later this week. Exact location, type of surgery, or method of payment is not known at this time. You can detect the floating question marks coming from Newfoundland all the way over in Texas.
We now go over to China. Deputy Ambassador to Israel Zhang Xiao’an claims that ties with China are deteriorating since Obama became president. The ambassador noted that usually relations between the Chinese gov’t and the new US president start off frosty, but gradually warm up. She claims in this case, it has worked backwards. The Great Uniter strikes again.
Over in Iran, Aquavelvajad (thanks, TheDudeAbides!), is claiming that Iran will will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance” (I don’t think he means the French), on February 11th, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. I can only assume he will have his jacket pressed for the occassion.
Meanwhile in Haiti, the voodoo high priest is raising a stink over being discriminated against, saying evangelical Christians are monopolizing aid coming into the country. Keep in mind this guy holds a degree in Biochemistry from the Universite de Paris, La Sorbonne. Yes, this is a WTF as far as I’m concerned.
In England, Climategate is opening a few eyes, and pouring salt in the open wounds of careers. Now the beleaguered Phil Jones is facing new claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based. This is not only an OMG, but also a WTF, not because of the claims (we all know about that). No…because this is a feature story on UK’s The Guardian. The freakin’ GUARDIAN, people!!! In the same section they have this: “How the ‘climategate’ scandal is bogus and based on climate sceptics’ lies”. This is the most blatant example of Cover-Your-Ass I have seen in a while.
Hope y’all are adjusting to having six more weeks of winter. I don’t think Punxsutawney Phil got the AGW memo.
What the Hell…??
Prez Obama can’t seem to help it…. Here he is bowing to Mayor Pam Iorio of Tampa. Is it just me, or is this pic just screaming for a caption contest????
Let the games begin!!!
Boob Belt Unravels
Back in December, I posted an entry on a statue erected in honor of Barry Soetero, AKA Prez Obama, by the city of Jakarta. I also posted an update a few days later detailing the Facebook campaign launched in protest. Apparently, they have been effective:
Indonesian authorities said Monday they are considering a petition to tear down a statue of US President Barack Obama as a boy, only a month after the bronze was unveiled in Jakarta.
The Facebook group has been very critical of the statue, believing the site should have been used to honor an Indonesian instead of a foreigner who happened to have lived there for a short time.
Members of the “Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park” group on Facebook say Obama has done nothing for Indonesia.
“Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American,” the web page says.
Yep….Prez Obama is just some dude who lived there for a few years, not an Indonesian hero or wunderkind. I wonder what will be the reaction when he and the Roya– I mean, the First Family go for a visit?? Pure sugary goodness!!!!
