Meh

Posted by on

I can’t think of anything to blog. A few things did happen in politics over the weekend, though, such as the tax bill passing, the DADT repeal passing, and DREAM act failing, but I don’t really have anything new to say about any of that. It was a bit fun, though, seeing the left screeching about the tax bill and no one caring (more Democrats in the House voted for it than Republicans).

Yeah, I’m looking at the news and I just can’t come up with anything. Usually I can force myself at least two topics a day, but nothing right now. Maybe I’m burnt out and ready for Christmas. Anyway, I’ll try again tomorrow. In the meantime, you can comment on any topic you’d like me to talk about.

And I’ll end with this:

Whatever happened to Herbert Powell from The Simpsons? That was Homer’s half-brother voiced by Danny DeVito from a second season episode who owned an auto company and then Homer ruined him. In the third season, Homer helped him become rich again… and we haven’t seen him since. That’s around eighteen or nineteen years missing.

Random Thoughts

Could “Tea Parties are racist!” be lie of the year? Then again, I don’t know how many people believed it, including those saying it.

If you’re going to be allowed to get health insurance when you have a pre-existing condition, could we stop calling it insurance?

I’m glad to know my taxes will stay low if I become rich next year.

It’s weird that Hollywood is the one place we both allow and expect racism in hiring.

Also with Hollywood: Child labor and lots of access to automatic weapons.

If you’re going to call something a “giant” panda, it should be at least 2 stories tall. Otherwise it just seems like a big panda.

So good day for gay soldiers unless you’re a gay, illegal immigrant soldier.

Played new Goldeneye with Buttercup strapped to me. Pretended I was Chow Yun Fat from Hardboiled.

I keep thinking the “urgent appeal from Jimmy Wales” is going to be for us to stop editing his entry to say he’s gay. No dice!

Christmas shopping. ME: “How many more stops?” HER: “Two.” ME: “Well, that’s not so bad.” HER: “Wait, three.” ME: “Gah!”

I hope when Buttercup becomes self-aware she doesn’t start a nuclear war like SkyNet.

I like big butts, but I CAN lie.

I’m glad that by the time Buttercup is a , the Jonas Brothers will be old, ugly, and forgotten.

“George Washington, who cut down this cherry tree?” “Father, I cannot tell a lie: I like big butts.”

ME: “Minecraft is going from alpha to beta tomorrow.” HER: “So it’s going to be less assertive?”
