Blue Evil

The Big, Scary Blue Horse At Denver International Airport

... and The Facebook Group That Fears It

In reality, the 35 foot sculpture did kill its creator, Luis Jimenez, when it fell on him and severed an artery in his leg.

Weirdness.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a cat who actually read the "stimulus" bill from Congress.

Is it appropriate to wish you all a Happy Friday when everything looks so grim?

I guess I'll wish you all a fair to middling Friday... ;-)

A Thousand Words

I found this on Lucianne.com today and the caption read, "'Nuff said."

I felt it was worth sharing with my readers.

*sigh*

Super Money

Rare Superman Comic To Be Auctioned Online

Action Comics #1," published in June 1938, is considered by collectible experts to be the world's most valuable comic book and is valued at about $126,000.

And this is during an economic downturn. Some people have more money than brains.

Yikes!

Makes me wish I had kept track of more of my old comics!

Krazy Keith?

MSNBC Host Says "Oh God" Before Jindal Speech

I've listened to the video clip a couple of times and it sounds like Keith Olbermann to me. Who else would have an open microphone?

NASA Needs A Name

Help NASA Name Node 3

The name "Serenity" is currently leading with 81% of the vote.

And that's a good thing.

Bacon Watch

I'm always on the lookout for pork products that don't come from Congress...

For more bacony goodness, go to the Bacon Store

HuffPo's FOX Faux Pas

This is a gratuitous photo of a Celebes Crested Macaque and has absolutely nothing to do with the story about how Huffington Post blog was duped into posting a hoax video of Fox's John Gibson making a derogatory statement about Attorney General Eric Holder.

Huffington Post Red In The Face Over Fox News Hoax

Just for the record, the video was pulled and here is how the correction appeared in the Huffington Post:

CORRECTION: John Gibson did not compare Eric Holder to a monkey with a
bright blue scrotum.

The left is in such a hurry to condemn FOX News that they will fall for almost anything, however outlandish.

Sheesh.

Happy Friday everybody!

Daredevil Woman

There's a fine line between bravery and not-so-bright.

BB Gun Abuser

Remember when little Ralphie Parker was warned against shooting his eye out with a Red Ryder BB gun?

Well, Ralphie's dad wasn't as crazy as this man...

Wisconsin Boy's Essay Leads To Charge Against His Dad

A New Warning For Our Time: You'll Shoot Your Son't Butt Off!

Sheesh.

Tough Fashion

Tough Clothes For Tough Times At NY Fashion Week

I guess they must have missed this line of insane fuzzy hats by Michael Kors.

It looks like Sit-On-Your-Head Elmo. How do the models keep a straight face?

Yearbook Photos

Can you identify this celebrity from her yearbook photo?

Hint: her show was on Tuesday night...

Marine Census

Marine Census Finds Life On Both Poles

Big surprise. Researchers documented thousands of species living in the Antarctic and the Arctic, and discovered dozens of species common to both polar seas -separated by 7,000 miles.

Most of the new discoveries were simpler life known as invertebrates, or animals without backbones, also known as politicians.

;-)

Churchill Outta There!

Obama Dumps Churchill Bust From Oval Office

I wonder who BO will replace Churchill with?

Real Genius

It's hard for me to believe that it's been 21 years since the death of one of my favorite physicists...

Richard P. Feynman May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988.

If you're looking for a good biography to read, I recommend Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman by James Gleick.

Happy Valentine's Day

Soon the insulting Vermont Teddy Bear ads will be over and there will be chocolate clearance sales tomorrow.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a photo of my black cat, Felix, who is such a 'fraidy cat that some people in my family joke that they don't believe I own a black cat because they've never seen him. Felix makes himself scarce when company comes over.

Happy Friday the 13th, everybody.

Koala Star

I originally heard about the Australian bush fires from my OZ blog buddy Caz @ Avatar Briefs

but now this little koala has become quite the internet video star...

Thirsty Koala Becomes Video Star

This will make you forget about the faltering economy, and your tanking 401K, and your new job prospects being next to zero...

This will make you smile for a change.

Go for it.

You'll thank me.

America What Have You Done?

This article was such a downer to read that I'm going to warn my readers to read it at their own risk.

Murphy's Law, The Peter Principle And Barack Obama

And Shiver didn't even metion BO's moslem schooling in Indonesia...

O'Bam Bam

Obama banged his head on Marine One today...

Keep your eyes open for those pesky banana peels, dude ;-)

Doctored Data

MMR Doctor Andrew Wakefield Fixed Data On Autism

Has anyone else heard about this? I would think it would be all over the news.

Chia Obama

I guess this was just a matter of time...

No More Questions For You!

Reporter Restrained After Panetta Hearing

Michael Calderone writes: "Following Leon Panetta’s confirmation hearing Thursday, several reporters approached the CIA director-designate in the hallway outside room G-50 in the Dirksen Building.

There, CongressDaily reporter Chris Strohm — upon asking a question — was physically restrained by a man who accompanied Panetta at hearings both days."

I'm curious about what the reporter asked, but there appears to be no mention of that in the article.

So much for open and transparent government...

Cat Blog Friday

For this National Wear Red For Women's Heart Disease Awareness Friday...

... a cat in a red shirt.

Watch out, kitty! Red shirts don't last long in Trek.

Happy Friday, everybody.

Bat'leth Bandit

Denver convenience stores are being robbed by a bat'leth wielding man!

Pic Shows Man Robbing Stores With Klingon Sword: Clerks Recognize Sword As 'Bat'leth'

It's a really puny sized one at that.

Go figure.

Pelosi Prattle

Does the House Speaker listen to herself when she speaks? This is what she said about the economic stimulus package:

"Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don't think we can act fast enough to stop that." -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

I would refer to her as an airhead, but I wouldn't want to be thought of as sexist by Birdwoman ;-)

Hmmmm?

This came to me via my sister...

I'M CONFUSED.

How can 2 million blacks get into Washington DC in sub zero temps in one day when 200,000 couldn't get out of New Orleans at 85 degree weather with four days notice?

Inquiring minds want to know...

...Stupidity?

Hmmmmm, indeed.

Zombie Austen

I thought this was just too funny to let pass without bringing attention to it...

Pride And Prejudice And Zombies

As an admitted fan of zombie lore, I must say that I'm not happy with this combo. I think there has to be a better way to get kids to read than this.

Cheesecake Heaven

Chefs served what they claim to be the world's largest cheesecake in Mexico City, Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009. The chefs hope to win a Guinness World Record.

OK, with me, chocolate is good, but cheesecake is better!

I guess my invite to this giant cheesecake bake was lost in the mail

;-)
