RWD’s News Round-Up, Monday

Hello,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
Did you watch the Kentucky Derby. The winner was the longshot of the race – Giacomo.
Nobody was happier than the owner and the Giaci who rode him.
The Kentucky Derby just goes to show you – no matter how much money you have you just can’t BUY a winner. As George Steinbrenner should know by know.
Things didn’t go well for Steinbrenner’s horse. Right, out the chute, it was surrounded by so many horses rear ends – it’s like he was a member of the Yankees.
Haha. A little “I wish the Yankees would die” humor.
In a new strategy, Steinbrenner bought every horse in the country. His chances for next year look pretty good, if the horses can stay healthy.


A public school teacher in Georgia was fired recently. His crime against humanity? Giving a student athlete a lower grade for sleeping in class.
(Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin)
Of course, it’s not ususual to catch a student sleeping in class – I do feel the young football player was pushing things when he came to class in tiger striped jammies.
Other’s felt he took it too far when he asked the class to make “ocean noises”.
**
So the teacher gives this guy a poor grade and gets fired when he refuses to change it!
What kind of future can this young man have, now? Airport security? Michael Jackson attorney?
**
Let me just say that it is indeed sometimes appropriate to wake a student. In fact, public school policy allows for it specifically. Especially when the student is hogging the covers.
**
You know how they can tell when public school students are sleeping? The test scores go up.
**
So the physics teacher gets fired. However, they might bring him back into the school system – especiallly if the baseball teams keeps oversleeping!
**
Is it safe to blame sexy cheerleading? That kind of stuff can keep you from sleeping.
**
Physics question: Does an object asleep tend to stay asleep, unless acted upon by an outside force?
**
General Motors and Ford both have had a bit of hard luck. Recently their bond ratings slipped and they are now classified as “Junk”. Which means their credit rating now matches the quality of their cars. Hahahahaha.
Just kidding.
On a positive note, their cars were indeed upgraded to AAA-POS.
**
I’m not saying that GM has gotten away from making good cars. But their last strategy for quality improvement involved carjacking Toyotas and swapping out the emblems.
**
Good news. Ford and GM are announcing bold new strategies for dealing with the competition.
Bad news. They already issued a recall for those policies.
**
A junk bond status is weird. On the one hand, you can buy the stock for dirt cheap. On the other hand, you just know you’ll have to buy the stock that comes with the extended warranty.
**
I can just picture a stock broker with a client.
“Sure, Ford is a good deal. A great deal”
“I think I’d like to invest in Toyota.”
“I understand. Let me ask you. What will it take to get you to buy this stock today?”
**
Enjoy your day.

  1. “In a new strategy, Steinbrenner bought every horse in the country.” LOL
    It’s a good strategy, but like the Yankees he’ll probably fill them with steroids. Come to think of it, Steinbrenner’s horse looked a LOT like Jason Giambi.

  2. Other’s felt he took it too far when he asked the class to make “ocean noises”. Still laughing. Reminds me of Homer doing that for Marge—complete with seabirds screeching.
    “…What will it take to get you to buy this stock today?” Do they still use that line? Funny stuff.

  3. Knowing Steinbrenner’s usual modus operandi, I’m predicting stock in Elmer’s Glue is going to go way up in the next two years.
    I can see the headline now…”Glue Factory Jobs Up 26% in First Quarter.”
