* So, there was that Casey Anthony verdict. I didn’t really follow that, but any time I was visiting my parents in the past couple months, they’d have that news that’s on the TV and usually on that they were talking about the trial. So it was like TV news important, but I pretty much missed on the internet… until the verdict. That’s why I like political blogs and following certain people on Twitter to get my news; they’re good at filtering out all the stuff I don’t really care to hear about. But now we have the verdict, and I think I’m supposed to be outraged but I’m not really sure what’s going on. I’ll go see what Ace of Spades tells me I should think and then I’ll come back and tell you people what to think.
* So Republicans are accusing the stimulus of costing $278,000 per job created. They reached this number by taking how much stimulus has been spent ($666 billion — ominous) and (this is complicated) dividing that by the number of jobs the Obama administration has claimed to have created. Obama has objected to this number, though, because it makes him look bad and was created using math — something that discriminates against women. Lesson for Obama team: Never make numbers available to the public. People will use them to make you look stupid and useless. Instead just say, “Some money was spent and lots of jobs were created!” and never give specifics. And if someone asks about transparency, show them the same statement through an overhead projector.
* President Obama is going to host a Twitter town hall today, answering questions sent to him through Twitter. Just post on Twitter with the tag #AskObama and he might answer your question. Don’t use math in any of your questions or he will send the Secret Service after you.
* The NEA has already come out and endorse Obama for 2012. Apparently they’re pretty panicked as everyone is turning against them, so they’ve come to Obama and said, “Please! Save us from accountability!” To which he says, “Sorry, but I’m too busy saving myself from the exact same thing!”
* Apparently, sulfur stops global warming, so the solution is to burn more coal. I was already doing that! In fact, people keep telling me to stop. They’re like, “Frank, stop burning so much coal!” And I’m like, “I like burning stuff and coal burns a long time and get off my lawn or I burn you next!” Why? Because I’m an environmentalist, that’s why.
* Interestingly, the more people know about science, the less they believe in global warming. So if you’re someone with no science background and no science knowledge — like Al Gore — you’re super-sure global warming is real and threat to humanity. If you actually know what science is, you recognize most of the global warming stuff to be more prognostication than actual provable science. Liberals say you’re not supposed to question Science! — that thinking is the enemy of Science! — but of course, independent thinking is the enemy of most of their policies.
* I checked with Ace, and he basically just said “Huh” to the whole Casey Anthony thing, so I guess we bloggers are all kinda stumped on this one. Any of you want to talk about the Wii U instead?
* There are rumors that Apple is about to launch the iPad 2 Plus. It’s just like the regular iPad 2, but you get a free ice cream sandwich with it. STEVE JOBS IS A GENIUS!!!11!!

“So Republicans are accusing the stimulus of costing $278,000 per job created.”
Actually, it was Obama’s people that released this on Friday.
“President Obama is going to host a Twitter town hall today, answering questions sent to him through Twitter.”
Yet more proof that Twitter is ghey.
Ice cream sandwich = good. Bring it.
So the WH is boasting that the stimulus is only costing $278,000 per job created? Just how much do government jobs usually pay?
Obama: “Hm. Tough questions. What would happen if we limited these guys to 140 characters or less?”
You know what would also have a cooling effect? Nuking the moon.
Frank, looks like you’ve come up with a name for your news posts. I like it! It’s thematic.
Behold the glory of the coal-burning fight against global warming!
MindyJ…you don’t exist do you? You are someone that Frank J made up just to rub Bantha_Fodder in our faces some more, right? Ahhhhhh!
I don’t think Bantha_Fodder exists!!! “eyes look back and forth” I think Frank made up this name to get you guys to step up your game and you tools are playing along! Well, I’m not. I’m too smart for such skull duggary! Muwhahahahahahah!
Glad I’m not the only one not tuning into this whole Stacey Adams case. Whoops, I mean Casey Adams. Casey Ad. . . something. I’m pretty sure her last name starts with an A, anyway. I do remember hearing a news story about a body ducktaped to a tree or something. So the MSM is beside themselves that she got away with it. If she really is obviously guilty (which apparently everyone but the jury thinks – I have absolutely no idea), then it would be an interesting observation upon media hyped trials – that observation being that they get all #@(*ed up. I did watch a bit of that trial and The Juice was as guilty as the day is long. If CA is similarly guilty, then that suggests that the people the MSM should be all POed at are themselves for turning these trials into a three ring circus frenzy. Talk about scary clowns!
“I did watch a bit of that trial” meant I did watch a bit of the OJ trial. Read my copy, read my copy, READ MY COPY! Arg. Why can’t I learn?
I exist
but I am thinking I should refrain from future attempts at “HIGH PRAISE” as it appears to cause so much anguish among the masses
/me slaps ussjimmycarter. Snap out of it man! We’re gonna need you sane if we have any chance of breaking out of here.
Buck up, BF. Where’s that devil may care IMAO spirit?
But I’d refrain from calling ussjimmycarter “masses”. He might take offense.
How dare you give high praise to a man who would use such a term, Frank!
Quoth Ronaldus Magnus:
Indeed!
The masses??
Instead of giving out “High Praise,” maybe Frank outta give out “High Mass” (you know, a property of matter as in “maintain your mass…” – not the Catholic church service! Although, we could pray for Bantha_Fodder’s soul at High Mass even though it might not do any good. He may, in fact, be DOOMED!! Poor Bantha! He’s turned into IMAO fodder.)
I’ll take Bush’s “Expanding Recession”
http://t.co/c00mnvG
over Obama’s “Growthless Recovery”
nope, nope – things were said, feelings were hurt ( and we all know its all about the feelings, prolly what caused the nuclear meltdown in Japan, but I digest… …), any who – whee was I, something about a mass grave… washing… potty training a bull mastif… sooooo cold, sooooo cold.
Marcia Clark better watch out. That Orlando prosecutor may be more incompetent than her and therefore steal her job as “legal expert” for news outlets.
You would think high praise costs money, the way Frank hands it out. Its harder to get high praise around here than a “Nuke the Moon” Tshirt.
Bantha_Fodder? More like Lenin_Fodder.
Masses? I got your mass right here! Thanks Fly! I needed that! I was lost in “High Praise Stupid”, but I’m back! So, what plans have you developed to finally break out? I have some ideas. Let’s compare notes. Mine start with lot’s of nad punchin’!
White House spokesman Jay Carney, noting that The Weekly Standard is a flagship for the conservative movement, said the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes tax cuts…………blah blah blah
Thanks to the Recovery Act, 110 million working families received a tax cut through the Making Work Pay tax credit. So they’re saying that telling someone they don’t have to pay taxes costs something? Oh that’s right, when you give a “tax cut” to people who don’t actually PAY any in the first place, it’s called
welfareI meana bribe…I mean a “tax cut” of 100% of 0. It’s funny how when “rich” people get to keep 2% of their own money, they claim that costs money too.No wonder they’re so happy that the
communist teachersNEA is supporting Obama but since comrade Alinsky died, who else would they support?(The NEA removed Rules For Radicals as their one and only recommended book on their website, I guess they figured out people knew)
“So, there was that Casey Anthony verdict. I didn’t really follow that…So it was like TV news important, but I pretty much missed on the internet… until the verdict.

That’s pretty much the same for me (except for that Twitter thing). I turn on my TV like maybe 3 times a year. I don’t watch Fox news, I get all news online. As far as the verdict, well sorry, I’m all OJ-ed out.
@Marko: Coal porn! Yay! Ya gotta respect the level of power that it takes to make those wheels spin.
@Bantha: It’s not so much that we mind your attempts. It’s that somehow you succeed. You do know that that this is a union shop? Members of the Brotherhood of Bacon Eating Bastards (BBEB) do not look kindly upon rate breakers. Rate breakers only make everyone else look bad.
Frank J.: Ooops, I used the pron word, but only to describe my feelings about black coal smoke. I admit it is a fetish.
Please dismoderate my comment should you get the chance.
Ann Coulter nominated Casey Anthony for Mother of the Year in her latest article, but I suspect she was being sarcastic.
Actually, Ras Algore understands science quite well. Why else would he buy beachfront property in CA?
The sulfur comes from soft coal like we used to mine in Illinois before the Green Meanies shut us down. (Strip mines are cool!)
Oh, if anybody cares, here’s a picture of Al Gore’s coal burning jet chair:
