I am Very Impressed by the Quality of Canadian Education
As evidenced by Toronto Sun columnist Eric Margolis suggesting that, the U.S. needs a yard sale to best deal with the financial crisis.
Wasn’t there a movie about this in the 1970s called something like “Americathon”?

Shakesville: Rhetorical Question of the Day
Mustang Bobby at Shakesville asks a question for all of us:
With the dizzying pace of the election and the economic crisis, it seems appropriate to ask: Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a Marx Brothers movie and you were Margaret Dumont?
The answer is, of course, yes.

Obama to Nation: “F$#@ this sh#@, I’m outta here”
September 19, 2008 at 12:21 am · Filed under political humor
In the wake of an epic financial meltdown that threatens to derail the U.S. economy for years, Barack Obama announced he was ending his run for President of the United States, declaring to a stunned nation, “Man, this is bullsh#@.”
In a boisterous and hastily-called press conference, Obama detailed his reasons for the decision. “I was prepared to fight global warming, reform the health care system, repair our crumbling roads, create a 21st century electric grid, find Bin Laden, end the war in Iraq, and bring peace to Israel and the Palestinians. But now you tell me I have to clean up the worst financial mess since the Great Depression too? One that’s going to plunge our economy into a recession for most of my administration while I take the blame? F$#@ that. That’s f$#@ing ridiculous. You guys clean up your own sh#@. I’m outta here.”

When Stuffed Animals Go Bad
Noted aviation reporter Stephen Trimble showed what his favorite swag at Farnborough was:
From Boeing, St. Louis, the home of the C-17 transport
Of course, being a reporter, he corrupts everything he touches:
And it got worse:
Word is now that the moose is under consideration for an editing position at a major aviation publication.
Sen Larry Craig Talks About Jerking Nozzles
Seriously. I Can’t make this up.
Go to Crooks and Liars to see Senator Larry “Happy Feet” Craig saying, “Don’t let foreigners jerk us around by the gas nozzle.”
Good day for Schadenfreude.

Bush Speaks the Truth: Promptly Apologizes
It turns out that some soon-to-be-unemployed Bush staffer handed out a press info pack on Silvio Berlusconi, and used accurate information from the Encyclopedia of World Biography.
Among other things, it described him as, “one of the most controversial leaders” of a country “known for governmental corruption and vice,” and “regarded by many as a political dilettante (amateur) who gained his high office only through use of his considerable influence on the national media.”
Excuse me, I have to clean off my screen now.
God Hates the Beijing Olympics
Insurrection in Tibet, Earthquake Algae Bloom, Floods, and The most protested torch relay in history.
And now a plague of locusts in China.
I agree with the author of the piece, “Locusts? What is going on here? The litany of near-biblical woes would seem to lack only a famine, frogs and smiting of the first born.”
Dude, I understand that you are all officially atheists and all in the PRC, but slaughter a few dozen goats or something.
You’ve done something to piss him off.*
*Note: this is humor, not serious. I’m making a joke in bad taste, not suggesting that God is actually punishing the Chinese people.

Political Scriptures: Hillary 43:21
This is going to be an infrequent feature of my blog, basically, whenever the muse grabs me:
Hillary 43:21
Yes, and she will be like an avenging angel unto the Republicans, and she shall smite them, and yea verily, they shall cry out, and retreateth to the bathroom stalls, where they shall tappeth their feet.
Yea though they get down upon their knees, the Republicans shallst not be offering homage to God, but shall be doing geometric things to each other, and they shall proclaimeth that they not beith gay, but rather that a great misunderstanding hath overtaken them.
Yea verily, they shall declare, we have turned over a new leaf, just as soon as we shall get to the bottom of the page.
Have I mentioned that I’m going to hell for this?
