The President’s stand up routine tonight wasn’t too bad. There was some funny stuff in there like, “Let’s try common sense.” Sure, why not? You’ve tried everything else. I really liked, “Just like a family, we’ll have a budget and live within it.” Wow! You mean that the government could have a budget and not just spend money on anything whenever it wants? What a novel idea! Why didn’t anyone think of that before? No wonder he’s President! He’s so smart!
I also liked the way he’s recycling all his old campaign promises. It was very crafty of him the way he didn’t keep any of them. They worked so well for him the first time and now he gets to promise to do them all over again.
He really should retire some of his old material, though. Some of those jokes are getting too old to be funny. Like the one about how the government can run health care better than the private sector and more cheaply. Then there’s the one about how it’s all Bush’s fault, or how it’s the evil corporations fault that the politicians are selling their votes to the highest bidders. Those just don’t make me laugh any more.
EDIT: I almost forgot. Is Charles Christopher getting political?
Spambot is deadbot. I should get around to installing Mollom on here… wonnadeezdayz…
Australia bans small breasts and female orgasms. What an Orwellian hellhole that place is turning into…
I’ll have you know that The Daily Weekly is a major publication in the Seattle area and is very well respected. =0P
In other top news: All Subversive Organizations Now Must Register in South Carolina So now if you want to overthrow the government you have to register your intent to do so and pay the $5.00 fee. If you don’t you’re in violation of the law and we don’t want that, do we?
Who’s one of the biggest douchebags in the world? This UK guy has made millions selling $40,000 “bomb detectors” which are actually completely fraudulent, and have likely been responsible for hundreds of deaths in Iraq.
If you’ve been to any aminu or mango sites lately, you’ve heard the news that Christopher Handley has been sentenced to six months in prison and three years on supervised release for possession of child pornography, despite the fact that all the “porn” in question was of the drawn kind - lolicon manga. ANN has a rundown here, this story has a quote from the Comic Books Legal Defense Fund and this one ends with a message from one of Hadley’s friends. Icarus Publishing, probably the most prominent distributor of manga smut in the US, chimes in with some good points.
So art featuring characters that never existed acting out sexual situations that never happened is illegal now. Will literature follow? Needless to say, I find the outcome of this rather chilling.
The next time some nitwit tries to tell you how crappy the American health care system is and starts shoveling BS about how wonderful Canada’s is, point them at this.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer union.
The 72 Hour Afghan Expert Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Afghans, by P.J. O’Rourke
In case you missed it, that’s by P.J. O’Rourke. Need I say more? Well how about an excerpt?
P.J. O’Rourke said:
What if some friendly, well-meaning, but very foreign power, with incomprehensible lingo and outrageous clothes, were to arrive on our shores to set things right? What if it were Highland Scots? There they go marching around wearing skirts and purses and ugly plaids, playing their hideous bagpipe music, handing out haggis to our kiddies and offending our sensibilities with a lack of BVDs under their kilts. Maybe they do cut taxes, lower the federal deficit, eliminate the Department of Health and Human Services, and the EPA, give people jobs at their tartan factories and launch a manhunt for Harry Reid and the UC Berkeley faculty. We still wouldn’t like them.
…
To fully sympathize with the dishonor an Afghan might feel, foreign government, U.N. and NGO aid agencies must be considered. Myriad of them operate in Afghanistan, staffed by people from around the globe. So it’s not just that you’ve got Highland Scots marching in hairy-kneed formations up and down your cul-de-sac. Many of the most ordinary functions of your society have been taken over by weird strangers. When you need a flu shot or a dog license or a permit to burn leaves, you have to go see Bulgarians and Bolivians and Nigerians and Fiji Islanders.
It is kind of long but it’s entertaining and informative.
