News Update

And more from the Stuff That Can Kill You Dept.:



...well, you can fuck right off, scientists, because earlier on you told us that a glass of wine will stimulate your heart, prevent scabies and end the spread of Communism.

And now from the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© Dept., Everybody Panic!!! Office:


But it’s not all bad news in this area, because:


...federal “bailout” funds coming in 3…2…1...

Then again:


...so if you can’t terrify us into submission, you want to imprison us?  Okay Bernie, my old comrade:  might as well start with me.  You Commie motherfucker.

From the Foreign News Desk:


...yeah, they don’t need to import spaghetti because they already have noodles.


...she prolly got sick of all the rent boys coming over to their house all the time.


...doing the math, that works out to being raped once every 5 days (kinda like being married, really, except for the “coercive” part).


...errr can anybody point me to those people who love paying rent?

In Political News:


...I took the word “alleged” out of the headline because we all know that there’s nothing “alleged” about it.

Obituaries Etc.


...the anarchic “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” being still the best kids’ TV program ever.

...no idea who she is, but let’s investigate:

And some other views:

 

Okay, I’d classify her bod at “mildly sensational”, but not bad for someone knocking hard at the 40 door.

Cleans up pretty well, too — well, as much as any of these houris  can “clean up”:

And thus, we come to the end of the news.

Quote Of The Day

On life:

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going?” ― Tennessee Williams

Actually, by that definition, there’s no such a thing as a “present moment”.

Discuss among yourselves.


Afterthought:  I apologize for the unwarranted gravity of this post.  And now, we return to the topic of Salma Hayek’s boobs.

Climate Change?

Almost exactly 365 days ago, southern Britishland was in the grip of a fearful drought, vid.:

…and of course, pics like the above caused much weeping, wailing and gnashing of British teeth with headlines such as “Does climate change mean that we’ll never see rain again?” and similar twaddle.

Of course, we sentient human beings all know the difference between “climate” and “weather”, so there was NO PANIC!!! amongst us.  And indeed, here we are, a year later:

…because Britishland’s old friend — RAIN — has fallen from the skies again, this time leading to items such as this (sent to me by Longtime Buddy Mrs. Sorenson):

…which in turn leads to things like this, taken in my car yesterday:

I’d gladly offer to trade, say, 25 degrees off our summer for a couple weeks of cooling rain from theirs.

Were it not for non-existent income tax, relaxed gun laws, hands-off politicians, fine BBQ and friendly Texans… I have no idea why I live here.


By the way, in the comments for the original article whence I filched the first two pics, one guy offered the following:  “That drought was in the south.  Up here in the North, it’s been raining nonstop for five years.”
