The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country's love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners. At fault, they say, is the US public's insistence on extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.Bum looker!!
...Obama is becoming the Cal Ripken Jr. of presidents, making history every time he suits up for a game. Recently, Obama also became the first African-American president to order a ham sandwich late at night from the White House kitchen! That's going to get old pretty quick.
But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?
You don't tug on Superman's capeSwiss party wants to punish U.S. for UBS probe:
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Dr Schlüer, da do da do...
ZURICH, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) called on Saturday for retaliation against the United States over a U.S. tax probe into the country's biggest bank UBS that threatens prized banking secrecy.And you can forget about any more of these:
Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.Putin? Vladamir Putin??
“In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”
"By the mid fifties it seemed that everything - and I mean everything - from the alarm clock on your night stand, all the cookware in your kitchen, the car you drove,the toys out on the lawn, the logo and the bottle of your favorite beer, almost everything you would see or use from the moment you got up until you went to bed was designed by Brooks Stevens."My favorite Brook Stevens quote was concerning Oscar Mayer's Wiener Mobile that also explains the election of Barack Obama as POTUS:
"There's nothing more aerodynamic than a wiener."
GOP demands Burris resignationHa! You’ll never take us alive!
Burris under an ethical cloudWell, duh. Have you met us?
Finally, I’m starting to wonder if President Obama is now telling the kids that they’ll get their dog, but only if he’s re-elected in 2012.
One thing for certain is that the First Dog is being vetted a lot better than was his Secretary of the Treasury.
Quarterback Brett Favre, who led the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowls but was traded to the New York Jets last season after a bitter breakup with the Packers, told the Jets this morning that he is retiring from the National Football League.But wait!
ESPN.com, which first reported the story, said Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, informed the Jets of Favre's decision this morning.
At NFL.com, reporter Adam Schefter reached Cook. Cook was asked whether this retirement was for good or whether Favre could change his mind this summer.It's like the OJ Simpson trial - it never ends, and I can't stop watching!
Cook responded to Schefter: “For good.”
However, ESPN reported that Cook raised the possibility of the Jets releasing Favre. There has been speculation that Favre was interested in joining the Minnesota Vikings.

VII. In order to re-establish peace on solid and durable foundations, and to remove for ever all subject of dispute with regard to the limits of the British and French territories on the continent of America; it is agreed, that, for the future, the confines between the dominions of his Britannick Majesty and those of his Most Christian Majesty, in that part of the world, shall be fixed irrevocably by a line drawn along the middle of the River Mississippi, from its source to the river Iberville, and from thence, by a line drawn along the middle of this river,...
...the audacity to ask the Russian president for a new pet. Nastya Ivliyeva wrote to Dmitry Medvedev's website asking for a guinea pig to go with her existing one...Patriotism demands that we catch up to the Russians... again. Guinea pigs, dresses, gas, cars, houses, and bailouts... we must outdo those pesky Russians.
But attitudes shifted when her parents complained to the president about the officials' behaviour and a newspaper publicised the plight of the girl from Kalitvensky in southern Russia.
The next day, officials called again - but this time to hand over two guinea pigs and a cage...
Last year, Siberian girl Dasha Varfolomeeva, nine, used a TV show to ask leader Vladimir Putin for a dress and a trip to Moscow. She got both.
Mayor Daley said Wednesday he unloaded four of Chicago’s most valuable assets for a $6 billion mountain of cash, in part, because city employees are clock-watchers who don’t think about the customers.The article nowhere states Daly's political party.
“They’re not customer-related. They’re gonna leave at 5 o’clock. They’re gonna leave at 4:30 or 4. I’m sorry. We’re on a time clock. They walk out. But, in the private sector, when you have a customer, you’re gonna stay there making sure they’re happy and satisfied,” Daley said.
“We can’t compete with the private sector. The private sector has a complete idea of who your customers are. Government doesn’t have customers. They only have citizens.”...
“You should think outside the box. You can’t ask taxpayers to be taxed more and more,” Daley said.
Anyone who lives in error eventually receives sharp blows from the world. But another purpose of leftism is to rescue people from the disasters caused by leftism, thus ensuring a steady stream of people to rescue, and therefore a greater need for the left. In short, the purpose of the left is to fail, as its success is built on the wreckage of its own failures. Its very foundation is failure, through which it gains more power, and the accumulation of power can be the only end for a half-animal who has rejected the vertical for the horizontal.Thomas Sowell:
Human beings are going to make mistakes, whether in the market or in the government. The difference is that survival in the market requires recognizing mistakes and changing course before you go bankrupt. But survival in politics requires denying mistakes and sticking with the policies you advocated while blaming others for the bad results.
DOMESTIC POLICY:
"I'm with the government and I'm here to help you."
FOREIGN POLICY:
"Peace in our time."
NEW YORK – New York City never got a chance to say a proper thank you to the pilot who miraculously landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River last month, saving the lives of all 155 on board. Now he's coming back for his hero's welcome.It was not reported that Mayor Boomberg was also going to hand each of the crew members tax bills on city key ownership, viewers of crash-landing video, river usage, goose hunting, Hudson River recreation, and blanket usage. However, Bloomberg also will give each crew member a Federal Bailout Request form.
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and his flight crew are set to be honored by Mayor Michael Bloomberg at City Hall on Monday, where they will be given a key to the city.
