Danica made a little history but it seemed
she was not a happy camper in post race
interview. Sounded like she was told to
hold in place rather than go for the win.

Not generally an Oscar’s watcher, but I think Seth Macfarlane can be funny sometimes.
Will watch to see if he mangles, manages or marvels tonight.

I think Lincoln will take best actor and best pic.
Emmanuelle Riva for best actress
Alan Argo best supporting actor
Best supporting actress is a toughie – will go with Sally field cuz of Lincoln momentum

Spielberg – director.

Gonna be a good night for Lincoln.

BTW – my track record at this is beyond abysmal so if you have any money riding, bet against any of my picks.

Earlier today I drove over to Target. En route I came upon a stop light and noticed the car in front of me was sporting a bumper sticker. It read “Is that true? Or did you hear it on Fox News?”

It was good for a smile but not a chuckle.

guy @ 1:45 pm – You who attacked Mrs.Obama and referred to her as a MONKEY! and I have the anger management problem? Why? because I was the only one, who called you OUT on it?

Then you say you will include me in your PRAYERS? Please! thank-you but no thank-you!

Leave me out of any of your HATE filled Prayers! Whatever GOD you are praying too will certainly raise an eyebrow of disbelief that you would would even have the NERVE to even Pray after such a hate filled statement. Based on skin color alone!

The next time when you look at your WIFE and Daughter or daughters think! How would YOU FEEL, If some unknown stranger referred to them as a MONKEY?

You NEED more than JESUS my friend!

So… that’s it, then? After tonight, no more going commando on the JBB? **sigh**

Guess I’d better tell this now, then. So I went to one of my state legislator’s town hall meetings this weekend. A concerned mother of an 8-yr-old got up to express her concern about gun violence, in the wake of Sandy Hook that has her pretty freaked out. She’d done her research, had lots of stats, and knew exactly which bills were put forth this season.

While she was talking, the room full of rightie whacktards started bristling, shifting in their seats, and emitting a low, growling noise like threatened dogs. Nothing she said was in any way radical, but rather, she was expressing her fear and what she’d learned. Our highly self-esteemed Senator man’splained to her: “Well, you know heart disease is the number one killer, but we’re not banning french fries!” (SweartoGod). The crowd loved this. The laaaaarge round woman behind me then started yammering about how “they” are trying to ban french fries too. Don’t know exactly who “they” might be, but bless her heart. Even more, bless the heart of anyone who tries to get between her and an order of large fries. I assured her that I would never try to come between her and a fry — freedom, french, curly, or otherwise.

I’m surrounded by whacktards.

I know, I know. You’ll miss me.

- Alan (should be repeatedly kicked in the balls) Greenspan.
Some of Greenspan’s policies had merit. I think he summed it up quite well when he said:

“I made a “mistake” in believing that banks, operating in their own self-interest, would do what was necessary to protect their shareholders and institutions.” “…it was a flaw in the model … that defines how the world works.”

- Reagan’s entire team of economic advisers.

““Well, you know heart disease is the number one killer, but we’re not banning french fries!” (SweartoGod). The crowd loved this.”

And therein truly lay the problem. When even an elected representative can’t engage in reasoned conversation on a serious issue and instead deflects to some asinine straw man as a way to get a cheap laugh – there is simply no hope in finding a reasonable compromise.

It would have been awesome if the lady had chastised the fool for making jokes about a serious issue – children and others dying and protecting the constitutional rights of its citizens.

There was I time when I thought so.

But he, like phlogiston chemists, is wrong from the get go. And it’s not just the banks that are ignoring everything but their own self interest.

We also made a huge mistake during the Carter administration.

Oh, there was another awesome one! When a constituent asked about the Governor’s refusal to accept funds to expand Medicaid to 600,000 currently-uninsured citizens (at no cost to us), the other Senator there (this guy’s a smoooove one, watch for his ascent to Congress or US Senate…) launched into a 5-minute soliloquy comparing Medicaid “addiction” to (SweartoGod) CRACK COCAINE. Because…. they’re EXACTLY the same thing, you know.

Well I am addicted to not having some of our citizens dying for a lack of proper health care.
But of course, some of our con friends here think that is exactly what should happen cuz… ya know ….they have made poor choices in life.

What some of these yokels fail to realize is that some of these 600,000 people are going to get very sick for lack of preventive care and end up in the county ER where the cost for care for them will be 10 times what it would have been and the taxpayers will STILL have to foot the bill.

Pennywise, pound foolish.

I was saying the same thing. I was rooting for her. I think she had the fastest car out there, but her “team” seemed to be more content with “making history” in the manner that they did. I say WHY SETTLE?? I saw her many times drop down low like she was going to make a move for it. It’s like she was advised to hold back because someone just might have tried to wipe her out to keep from winning and thus causing her to not even finish. I just kinda feel like the team saw that as a new barrier she has broken through and they will build from there. A first place finish is soon to come on the circuit.

You guys and gals are on a roll, tonight! I think some of us could have been great comedy writers!

I posted this one the other day, but not seems like the perfect time for a reprise…

I was at the bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking at the bar.
Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked, “Hello, are you three lassies from Scotland ?”
One of them angrily screeched, “It’s Wales, Wales you bloody idiot!”
So I apologized and replied, “I am so sorry. Are you three whales from Scotland ?”
And that’s the last thing I remember.

Not Scotch or Welsh. Irish…

Only Scot joke I know:

An Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman are all playing golf
with their wives. The Englishman’s wife steps up to the
tee and as she bends over to place her ball a gust of wind
blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear.

“Good God! Why aren’t you wearing any knickers?” her
husband demanded.

“Well, you don’t give me enough housekeeping money to
afford to buy any.”

The Englishman immediately reaches into his pocket and
says, “For the sake of decency here’s 50 pounds, go and
buy yourself some underwear”.

Next the Irishman’s wife bends over to set her ball on the
tee. Her skirt blows up to show that she is wearing no
undies.

“Bejesus woman. You’ve no knickers – why not?”

She replies “I can’t afford any on the money you give me.”

He reaches into his pocket and says, “For the sake of
decency here’s 20 pounds, go and buy yourself some
underwear!”.

Lastly, the Scotsman’s wife bends over. The wind also
takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she too is
naked under it.

“Hoot, lassie! Why d’ye have no knickers?”

She too explains, “You don’t give me enough housekeeping
money to be able to afford any.”

The Scot reaches into his pocket and says, “For the sake
of decency here’s a comb. Tidy yourself up a bit!”

For you and any other MOTs…

A Jewish man went to the races for the first time. Not knowing a thing about horse racing, he went to the paddock to take a look.
He saw a rabbi blessing one of the horses. He wrote down the number and placed a $2 bet. Sure enough, the horse won, and the man won $20.
He went down to the paddock again, and again the rabbi was blessing another horse. He wrote down the number, bet his $20, and again, the horse won, earning $100.
This went on, race after race, until the Jewish man had won $5000. Just before the last race, he watched the rabbi bless another horse. He bet the whole $5000, but this time the horse came in dead last.
He ran down and yelled to the rabbi, “Why did every horse you bless win, except the last one? He came in dead last!!! ”
The rabbi replied, “That’s the problem with you Reform Jews .. you don’t know the difference between a brucha and kaddish.”
