Kim Jong Il says "MORE COWBELL"

From the "You CAN'T make this shit up" department comes this gem from the KCNA (North Korean News). Go about halfway down for the line that will make all SNL viewers explode: New Symphonies CreatedPyongyang, March 16 (KCNA) -- New symphonies have recently been created by the State Symphony Orchestra of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.Orchestral pieces "Cantata to Marshal Kim Il Sung"

All right, after reading and enjoying him again, I have to add the Bad Astronomy Blogger and funny friend to skeptics almost everywhere, Phil Plait, to my list of links. And his book would make a good present to anyone with a birthday in January, hint hint.Not that anyone ever reads my links, or links from my links, but its the least I can do for him. Actually, that is literally true. If I did

OK, have to start out with one picture: That is, reportedly, our 44th President Barack H. Obama, circa the early 1970s as a pirate.I know, I used the middle initial, not something a good libtard like myself is supposed to do. What can I say? Apparently Barry shares his middle name with Jesus, so I am going to use it. I also like to think of it as standing for "Hopey." Anyway, just

Revelation Muslims--Another Stupid Anti-Obama Email

2008-11-01T12:01:00.000-07:00

My wife received a copy of what I believe was the following email. I'm not sure because, although she's a Republican, it upset her greatly the sender would buy into such a load of crap and deleted it. Anyway it involved Obama being predicted in the New Testament book of Revelation and probably went like this:UPDATE: I have since found PolitiFact has posted a better dissection of the flaws of the

Hopefully this will open the eyes of our nation before it's too late!* A Response to a stupid chain email* A family relation sent another closer family member the following when she found out that I’m voting for Obama, even though he’s (black). And I knew that mattered to these folks, but I didn’t realize they bought into the following. Mind you, my people aren’t responsible for inventing this,

I am adding the Screw Loose Change Blog to my favorites links. It is a refutation of 9/11 theories and one popular conspiracy video particularly. If you have had anyone tell you that 9/11 was caused read this blog and... I thought I had another but I guess I'll have to get that one later.Conspiracy lovers always say they want people to open their eyes and see the truth, but actually it is they

"Idiot Kabuki Theatre"

2006-11-02T21:06:00.000-08:00

I love this new phrase. I last heard it used on Wednesday about all the stupid right-wing phoney outrage at Senator Kerry's misstatement of his own joke meant to be at G.W. Bush's expense. I actually can see how that statement could be misunderstood, but a release of the INTENDED text clearly shows that the context was that BUSH had not studied and therefore stuck OUR COUNTRY in Iraq. But anyway,

Our landlords, living out of state now, are selling the property they are renting to us. Even if someone buys it who is willing to rent it, I am guessing they will want a LOT more money. On that assumption, we are looking for a new place. We'd been thinking about going back to the midwest, but I just don't think we can get that together in time. Plus Cathy wants to go back to Glendale

Here is an article on the Senator H. Clinton's working in the Congress which backs up something I have been thinking--that because she is a great Senator she should not, and maybe cannot succesfully, run for President.http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200611/green-hillaryYou can only read the first part unless you subscribe to the Atlantic, but even the beginning is good.

The Governator, officially

2006-10-20T13:52:00.000-07:00

So how do we start a petition to officially change the title of the office of this state's chief exec? I heard someone else refer to it today as "The Governator" and I think we should keep it even after the Gropenfuhrer has left us. I am just starting to like the title, and as the 500-pound gorrilla of states, I think California should have an extra something for its exec's title. The way LA and

the 27th Amendment?!?

2006-08-13T12:36:00.000-07:00

Whoa! I considered myself well-informed about my government and current events, and yet I let the passage of a whole constitutional amendment go right by my head for over a decade.In 1992 the 27th amendment was ratified almost 200 YEARS after it was proposed. It is a procedural thing about the pay raises for congressmen not taking effect until after the next election of the year the raise is

Yes, the 2004 Election was stolen!I could not find the magazine on shelves yet, but I found the link:http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolenAnd if that goes bad I'll paste the story in. There were at least 2 books written on this, but maybe now it will start to get some traction. I laugh at almost every conspiracy theory out there, but I am coming to believe

A CHALLENGE TO THE "PRO-LIFE" CROWD

2006-06-02T10:58:00.000-07:00

Alright, my wife's beliefs have maybe pushed me a LITTLE rightward on the abortion issue, but I have a challenge to anti-abortioners based on a piece of news I heard today on Democracy Now. Apparently a Save the Children report says the USA has the second WORSE infant mortality rate for any "industialized" nation (only ahead of Latvia, go USA!). I can understand not wanting to "kill babies"

The Stupid LA Rail System, With Suggestions

OK, I started as a believer, but I am moving to critic and maybe even a foe.I mean the LA Light Rail and Subway System. When I first moved to LA I really liked it and did not understand why everone was bad mouthing it. Well, I had to admit there was not enough to make a serious dent in transportation problems. Then there are design flaws from the beginning like all the routes have only 2 tracks,

The Greatest thing about MySpace.comAre some of the ads that they post. I am actually getting unhappy with always having the TRUE personals beamed at me despite my profile saying I am married, but they also have these interactive ads where if you click a button enough you get free cell phone ringtones.
