Friday FAIL

Sure, it's probably a PhotoShop, but it still made me laugh.

A Twitter so Good, it Deserves a Blog Post

The wife and I made a batch of Japanese curry last night that tasted so good, it was like God's semen: salty and poured in the ear.

Housecleaning

When all is said and done following this election, I predict established media outlets will be left standing, nonplussed, wondering what just happened.

When a Bailout Is Actually Pork From Heaven

You know, despite all the talk about the imminent, all important, NEED for a government bailout of the financial sector, I find it curious that the actual eventual "bailout" is chock full of pork and "sweeteners" to buy Senate and House votes. Why, it's almost as if the bailout is more of an "opportunity" than a "crisis."

It's enough to make me vote against every incumbent just out of sheer spite.

Except for Al Franken. I could never vote for that douche. Maybe I'll leave that one blank.

Just so you know

I'm against any bailout plan for the financial sector. That is, unless it includes a provision to pay off the remainder of my mortgage, which I've been paying off on time and over the monthly requirement now for over four years.

It's not my fault a lot of people are idiots and the financial sector tried to capitalize on that through equally idiotic loans.

My lawn. Get off it.

Going to Hell, but Whatever

Yesterday, the wife and I were out on a walk, when we happened upon the following scene, which I felt compelled to take a picture of with my cell phone. I'm assuming the cat was probably hit by a car, and then somebody came along and moved it to the side of the road and placed it on the plastic mat.

But, man, whoever put the "CAT" glove near its head; that shit had the two of us laughing for the next three hours.

Time Travel

You know, I've always looked at pictures and video of the Great Depression and wondered what it would have been like to have lived through those times. After this week, I may actually get that chance. I'm not as enthusiastic about it as you might think.
