Another cold, damp Saturday morning in Paradise Portland...and my brain cells seem to be frozen. Rather than try to pretend that I actually have something of value to say this morning, I'm going to take a brain dump and then go make love to a pot of coffee and the morning Oregonian. Happy weekend, y'all.... ;-)
....Did you know that staring at a woman's breasts can add years to your life? Well, as a WWJD public service, I humbly offer up Alexandra Kerry, who really, really, REALLY wants you to stare at her boobs...and who am I to deny her?
....Today's "WTF??" thought of the day: WHAT IF Barack Obama is fatally electrocuted by a stingray BUT Joe Biden doesn't want to be president SO Senator Byrd -- who is old! -- becomes president because he's president pro tempore of the Senate? Be afraid...be very, very afraid....
....There are unconfirmed rumors flying around Washington that Sarah Palin signed Erick Erickson's left testicle at a book signing. Ugh...I will never, EVER, be able to look at a Sharpie in quite the same way again.
....You know that your city has hit the big time when it has it's very own (cupcake truck prowling the streets...'cuz Lord knows one should never have to walk very far to satisfy you when you're jonesin' for a cupcake. Sprinkles, anyone??
....Thanks to Thierry Henry's blantant "Hand of God" goal in extra time, France (well, in this case the referee) robbed Ireland of a trip to the World Cup. Somewhere, Diego Maradona is looking up in the midst of doing another line of Bolivian marching powder and smiling. Wars have been started for less...and if I was the French Ambassador to Ireland, I'd be trying to sneak out of Dublin on a Canadian passport. Memo to France: do the right thing. Admit you won by cheating. Step aside. Yeah, like THAT'S going to happen. Cheating may never prosper, but they apparently can win a trip to the World Cup.
....Colorado Billboard Links Obama With Jihadists. Yes, as I've said many times before, free speech can and all too often does mean offensive speech. Then again, free speech also give me the right to ridicule the brain-dead morons responsible for the billboard for giving free reign to the ignorance and lunacy. Why focus on facts and reality when you can engage in all manner of character assassination and racism without having to worry about being held accountable? Never let the truth get in the way of a perfectly good Two-Minute Hate.
....Christian Bootcamp Seeks to Arm Home-Schooled Youths for "Spiritual Warfare". Ah, yes...there's nothing quite so satisfying as poisoning the minds of children and teaching them to hate and despise those who happen to think differently. And how does any of this hatred, indoctrination, and fear-mongering have ANYTHING to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ?
....Utah lawmaker claims he doesn't 'mind' gays, but 'I don't want 'em stuffing it down my throat all the time.'. Ah, the Law of Unintended Irony.... Some folks ought to be able to recognize that they just too damn stupid to be allowed to speak extemporaneously in the presence of recording devices. Better to be thought a fool and a bigot than to be Chris Buttars and remove all doubt, eh?
