Disapointing Act

Satirical Mints Poking Fun At Obama Pulled From University Of Tennessee Bookstore

It was perfectly fine to peddle merchandise poking fun at George Bush though. Free speech and all that...

Yeah.

Not so for followers of D'uh Won... they're very easily outraged.

Economic Meltdown Humor

Dilbert

Now that the debt ceiling debate is over, fears of an economic meltdown are over and, thankfully, Obama has set his laser beam focus on jobs, jobs, jobs.

Whew!

Not Marvelous

New Spiderman Swinging Into Comic Book Shops Following Death Of Peter Parker

OK, Spiderman was only killed off in the “Ultimates” imprint of Marvel comics... which translates into the not-so-good line, but I still find it a ridiculous move.

Is there nothing the politically correct movement can't ruin?

Rare Cat Blog Saturday

For this rare Cat Blog Saturday...

... this poor kitten who is having trouble being adopted because of her Hitler-like markings.

Hitler Cat Overlooked Because Of Markings

Oh, comon, I think that conclusion is a load of rubbish. I'd adopt this kitten in a minute if she weren't in the UK. She's adorable.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... my idea of a cat's response to the evil human who did this to an innocent cat...

Sniper Shot Cat On Family's Porch

Have an otherwise happy Friday, everybody.

Sorry End

Contrary to popular belief, the starship Enterprise's shuttlecraft, the Galileo, did not burn up in re-entry to Taurus II...

It ended up in this Los Angeles parking lot looking like a sad heap of junk.

*sigh*

Is the Partridge Family bus next?

Bad Bulb

This CFL Bulb Almost Burned My House Down

How many more of these examples do we need before we end this travesty?

Whole Phony?

You're A Faux Hippy Wal-Mart: Whole Foods Market Worker Quits In Epic Resignation Email

This was a hoot to read. The author is divulging what many of us already suspected.

Me, I don't shop at Whole Foods and I don't buy 'organic' because I think it's a scam, but for all those others who do, go for it.

I do shop at Wal-Mart and have no problem doing so for many items. I appreciate the money I save.

A free market works best when it's allowed to work freely. The Whole Foods CEO, who is self-made and a free market advocate, should approve of that.

Amy Winehouse 1983- 2011

Amy Winehouse, 27, Found Dead At Her London Flat

Sadly, there will no more sultry songs from Ms. Winehouse. Many saw this coming, but not this soon.

RIP.

BTW is she in Bali or Baleen?

No Privilege For You

Robin of Berkeley posts another insightful column at the American Thinker:

Black Privilege

Do you feel guilty?

I don't.

Where's Casey?

Casey Anthony Disguises

Kasey Kardashian... this one cracks me up, especially because of the clever use of facial hair ;-)

Osama bin Duct Tape is a funny second.

Alyssa Milano... watch your back!

Soccer Family

Obama Tweets Apology To USWNT

I would fire the person who staged this united family fun photo...

You couldn't find some shoes? Or some smiles?

Sheesh.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a wizard cat dressed for the midnight premiere of "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows- Part 2". My daughters and I were in attendance and received 3-D glasses shaped like Harry Potter's.

*squee*

The theater lobby looked like the halls of Hogwarts with all the costumes and fun was had by all, young and old.

Happy *yawn* Friday, everybody!

Don't Call My Bluff?

"This May Bring My Presidency Down But I Will Not Yield": Obama Walks Out Of Debt Talks Warning GOP 'Don't Call My Bluff'

Does this man even listen to his own words?

Wow!

Bush Hat Tip

A Hat Tip For Bush

At least the South Sudanese know whom to thank for their independence. Unlike Obama, who for once, isn't putting the blame on Bush.

Lisbeth Salander lives!

Happy Friday, everybody.

Colorful Characters

Colorful Character Of Jose Baez, Casey Anthony Defense Attorney

Yeah, it's not a picture of Jose Baez, but this expression of Judge Belvin Perry cracked me up and I wanted to include it.

Back to Baez...

I know he's the legal man of the hour right now, but I frequently complained about his sleazy hijinks during the trial. I wouldn't refer to his history as "colorful", but in one fell swoop, he has catapulted himself into Johnny Cochran territory.

And defense attorney Cheney Mason was caught flipping off the media during their celebration

Our legal system at work.

*sigh*

Independence Day Weekend

This eagle's look is the perfect illustration of the spirit of the Founders of our exceptional country... Don't mess with our freedom and we'll get along.

Keep it in your hearts while you celebrate with your families this weekend.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Fourth!

Time Magazine Editor, Mark Halperin, Calls Obama 'A Dick' On Live TV

Obama gets called worse names at my house every day.

Not!

John Kerry: I Would've Been A Good President, Maybe Even A Great One

That was the biggest laugh I had all day.

Man Of La Marx

This article from the American Thinker is an eye-opener...

President Quixote's Legacy: Confused, Ill-Educated And Not Too Bright

Only thing I don't agree with in Mr. Pelerin's fine article is when he writes that that the democrats will likely turn on "this poseur [Obama] before the election."

There are still a lot of "free stuff" people out there. A GOP win in 2012 is not a sure thing.

Kansas Golfers Hit Consecutive Holes-in-one On Same Hole In Hesston

Mr. Cube and my oldest daughter are envious.

Columbo was and still is my favorite detective of all time.

RIP Mr. Falk.

Welcome Visitor

This sunflower showed up in our garden uninvited, i.e., we didn't plant it. No doubt it was a product of a sunflower seed from the bird feeder that was dropped onto the mulch bed surrounding our intended plants and made itself at home in our garden.

Today I ran across the use of sunflowers in:

Phytoremediation: You Can Grow Plants That Help Eliminate Radiation In The Soil

I'm not sure how much scientific proof there is so far, but the theory is that the sunflower's root structure is so dense and strong that it is able extract heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and radionuclides Cesium 137 and Strontium 90 out of the soil or water.

I'm not sold on it yet, but I thought it was worth passing on.

Bad Man

From The American Thinker:

Barack Obama Is A Bad Man

Many of us saw right through Obama from the very beginning. I'm sorry the author, Jay Clarke, was so slow on the uptake, but at least now he's seen the light.

Summertime

Spring has sprung.
Winter has fell.
Summer is here,
And it's hot as...

Hello, what is summer without grilling and what is grilling without hot dogs?

Best Hot Dog Taste Test

My favorite made it all the way to #4:

NATHAN'S BIGGER THAN THE BUN SKINLESS BEEF FRANKS

Yum.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there who do right by their families every day of the year.

Today will be a special Father's Day in our household. My sister's son is being baptized and Mr. Cube will be the Godfather and I will be his Godmother.

This is new experience for us and we hope we are up to the task.

Now all I need to do is get Mr. Cube to stop with the Godfather jokes
;-)

Food For Thought

I confess that I do watch some reality shows, but "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" is not one of them. That's why I missed this...

Blagojevich: Patti Ate A Tarantula For Her Family

It makes me wonder what lies in store for Huma Weiner and her family.
