Why are they trying to make another dollar coin? Who uses coins anymore? What are we, medieval peasants?
Had a nightmare that Biden was pounding on the window of my bedroom, trying to rape and murder me.
My Facebook fan page has over 100 likes. I’m well on my way to being the most famous writer ever.
Wow. Jupiter is super bright this year. I mistook it for Venus.
Really annoys me how every time it’s a strike, the umpire yells, “BALL!”
What an exciting World Series if you’re one of the select few who care about one of the teams playing.

Europa transits Jupiter tonight (actually, early Tuesday EDT). The shadow appears at around 12:26 am (10:26 pm MT) and it will take 2:28 to complete the transit. Europa itself follows about 15 minutes behind the shadow.
Don’t be looking at Venus, or you’ll miss it.
You mistook big fat Jove for the slender Goddess of Beauty and Love? How insulting!
I thought I was watching thr seventh planet, but it was only the commander-in-cheif.
“Who uses coins anymore?”
Old ladies in the express checkout lane.
If I vote Democratic and get raped anyway, well, let’s just say someone’s going to get a very angry letter.
So, now you have two blogs?
For those of you wondering how I’m able to do everything I do, here’s my schedule:
04:30: Up and at ’em. Coffee, and lots of it.
04:15-07:00: Internet, email, to-do lists (more than one). Coffee cup is never empty.
07:00: Coffee, keep it coming.
07:00-08:00: Check my to-do list. More coffee. Comment at various “blogs.”
08:15: Glance at coffee pot and estimate ETA for another pot.
09:00: More coffee for sure.
09:15: Work on to-do list. First, make more coffee, if original plan didn’t work out.
10:00: Check various gardens for critters. Shoot critters present. Take a coffee break.
10:00-12:00: Stave off eating food with more coffee. Cooking is too much work.
13:00-18:00: Napping options, usually preceded by more coffee.
18:00: Dinner with coffee.
18:00-Bedtime: Consider an after-dinner coffee. Maybe with some Irish Whiskey in it.
Obama is pushing for all of these dollar coins so he can have his face stamped on it, rendering unto Ceasr and all thaty
Care about the World series? I’ve already given Sarah47 permission to head slap you for not enthusiastically cheering for the Rangers. Should the a fore mentioned Texas team lose I’ll give her absolution to pummel you into unconsciousness. If the Rangers win I’ll let her save the beating for another sports related argument. I love selling these indulgences can’t understand what the problem with this practice was.
I dunno; I think dollar coins are a good idea. We need to get used to handling our dollars like pennies…
Hey Ed, can I get an indulgence in exchange for a dollar coin with the likeness of “the one” stamped on it?
Somehow, that seems wrong.
Canada has got some things right, and the dollar (and two dollar) coins are among them. The reason they have heretofore been such a failure in this country is simple. The Treasury Dept keeps the dollar bill in circulation. Remove that from the equation and the dollar coins would catch on. Make them bigger than a quarter (or at least distinguishable at a glance) and stop printing paper dollars. The resulting savings would be only a tiny fraction of the deficit, but we have to start somewhere.
Burmashave, no funny money…indulgences are serious busines. However if you can find a 3 dollar bill with his likeness that should do. But you better hurry, I am concidering only selling to Herman CAIN supporters. Of course they will have to show proof. The mark of CAIN 9-9-9 will be sufficent.

@DamnCat, “‘Who uses coins anymore?’ Old ladies in the express checkout lane.”
…buying food for her cats.
I took my wife to see that new baseball movie, Money Ball, tonight. (very good)
That’s the advantage of movie sports over real sports – you get to see all the highlights of a whole season in 90 minutes, without being bothered by drunken fans (usually).
For those of us who ‘like’ed your Facebook page, you need to produce a T-shirt or something. “First Hundred” graphic award logos on our Facebook pages, or something.
This will sound really silly, until you run against Joe Biden in 2016. Then, us First Hundred will be the vanguard of the Revolution. Get busy on this. You need our support.
