* Make sure you checked out my New York Post column from Saturday. It was good.
* There was another Republican debate Saturday. I didn’t watch it.
* Still, I feel like I should say something about it. Apparently Romney went after Newt for calling the Palestinians an “invented people”. Oh yeah, that’s how you make traction in a Republican primary: defend the Palestinians. That’s almost a Huntsman level move.
* Obama was on 60 Minutes making the case for his reelection. Here’s what he said.
“You’re all aware of how petty and petulant I am. Well think of how I’ll be from November 7th, 2012, until January 20th, 2013, if I know the American people voted me out of office. Think of all the destruction I can do in that time period. Really, you’re going to tell me I’m fired but leave me in office for months with access to nukes? Just think about that for a second. Not a good idea.”
It’s a pretty good argument.
* Some people are starting to wonder if with Occupy Wall Street whether it’s going to be 1968 for the Democrat National Convention all over again. Democrats need to learn: Never encourage hippies, even if you think there is a short term gain. As soon as you see a hippie, you punch a hippie. Otherwise they spread like mold and spoil everything.
* Occupy is blocking ports today. Yay, interrupting business! So is the Occupy movement’s complaint that they don’t have jobs or that other people have them?
Of course, they’re doing this all to inconvenience the “1 percent” while causing lower class people to lose a day’s wage. People just never figure out that you can’t inconvenience the rich without decimating the poor. But I guess it’s for “fairness”.
* Iran is still taunting us with their captured drone. It’s so heartbreaking; it’s like holding a dog hostage and abusing it. It just doesn’t understand what’s happening to it.
There are fears that the Iranians may be able to reverse engineer the drone. There was some of the same fears when the Palestinians captured a drone, but they were unable to replicate the design using rocks and twigs.
* Oh no. I made fun of the Palestinians. I bet my Republicans readers will leave me.
* Scientists think they’re close to finding the Higgs boson. When they find it, worst case is the world will be destroyed in a black hole. But it’s worth the risk because if we aren’t destroyed and find the Higgs boson… something. I’m not really sure what. Maybe we all get free ice cream.
Oh, we get a better understanding of the relation of matter and energy. Oh, that’s ::yawn:: that’s super. Will this in any way lead to dinosaurs with rocket launchers on them? No?
Useless scientists…
* Wisdom of the Day: “Rick Perry says he’s not ashamed to admit he’s Christian. He credits all his success to the Father, Son, and the uh…there’s a third one.” –MancowMuller
* Here’s another video from The House of Sunny:
So Obama doesn’t seem to think free markets work and that’s why he has to intervene — even though he has about as much business knowledge as he does humility? I thought the Constitution was supposed to keep people like him from messing with our stuff and our businesses; whatever happened to that?
Union Port workers losing a day’s wage! Oh Frank, you slay me!! That is….I swear…tears rolling down my cheeks, coffee everywhere. You are comedy personified. Days wage…I have to go change my friggin pants.
[Take it up with the article I linked and learn bladder control, dude. If it’s a free day off, why do they care? -Ed.]
“I bet my Republicans readers will leave me.”
There are Republicans here?
I did not know that!
They should look under the refrigerator. I can’t tell you how many things I’ve lost under there.
“Scientists think they’re close to finding the Higgs boson.”
Well, good luck with that. They’re still looking for “glueballs,” too.
I thought the Constitution was supposed to keep people like him from messing with our stuff and our businesses; whatever happened to that?
The Constitution has been stripped down to its most important parts: The Commerce Clause, the anti-establishment clause (WAY more important than the free exercise clause, which has been dropped), the free speech clause (but only for dirty hippies), and the penumbra of privacy rights guaranteeing a woman’s right to kill her fetus, the right of pedophiles to have sex with minors without any danger of their parents finding out, and the right to define marriage as the formalization of sexual congress with whomever and whatever one chooses (oops, sorry, no, not a choice – with whomever and whatever one has been hard-wired to desire).
Don’t worry, Frank – making fun of those make-believe Palestinians shouldn’t be any worse than taunting Smurfs.
The problem is that Higgs Boson spun off part of its business years ago. These silly scientists should be looking for HiggsCo and Consolidated Boson.
Replicating a spy drone with rocks and twigs? Where are the filastini going to get twigs? Notice those pictures of the Gaza; what’s missing? Trees. So they’re limited to rocks and, uh, explosives, I guess.
“Scientists think they’re close to finding the Higgs boson.”
I had one but I left it in my other pants.
“Iran is still taunting us with their captured drone.”
I suppose the disgrace in the white house is going to make us pay hillary’s ransom.
“Occupy is blocking ports today.”
Sludge, you never know when it will occur.
I wonder if hard working truckers realize that hippies make wonderful wheel lubricants. Hahahahahaa, hard working teamsters, hahahahahahaah, I crack me up!
DamnCat said: “I can’t tell you how many things I’ve lost under there.”
What, like catnip toys? String? Hairballs? Dead mice?
That is not a Higgs domain.
Bee careful if they return the surveillance drone, it may have some poison intended to hurt their queen, Hillary.
@ Jimmy
It’s a simple equation:
1) The Higgs boson is very small
2) Very small things often end up under the refrigerator
3) Therefore, a likely place to find a Higgs boson is under the refrigerator
Try reading a Science(!) book someday. Sheesh!
Will this in any way lead to dinosaurs with rocket launchers on them?
So you should be all in favor of finding the Higgs boson, which would help us understand tachyons.
Tachyons would help with quantum paleontology.
We already have rocket launchers so all we need are dinosaurs, the Higgs boson could help us with that.
I suggest you watch the documentary, “Land of the Lost”, maybe that will change your mind.
Damn those rich people. I’m poor and I have to put up with a measly 42″ LCD flat panel 120Hz 3D TV while they get to afford holographic teleporters that beam car chases and strippers straight into your head. And the only airplane I can afford to fly on only goes 600 mph at 40,000 ft staffed with male flight attendants named Russell. Those rich dudes get to fly on a plane loaded with hot chicks and chocolate sauce; chocolate sauce on some dude with a lisp named Russell just isn’t the same dammit. And my car only goes 135 mph, has all-wheel drive, air conditioning, 250watt sound system and fart can exhaust. Their richy rich boy cars got 8000 lbs of gold plating and shoot baby seals out the exhaust. I got me a perfectly good baby seal beaten stick but I can’t afford no baby seal beaten adventure trip! God life just ain’t fair.
Breaking video update on the Higgs Boson search:
This business will get out of control. It’ll get out of control, and we’ll be lucky to live through it.
/mandatory post because BurmaShave posted that.
So, DamnCat, let’s sum this up for Frank.
Things that can get lost under the fridge:
1.) Anything that rolls: like your marbles. (Hey, I once lost my marbles under the fridge!)
2.) Useless change. (Falls on the floor and then you kick it under there, like Obama.)
3.) Spilled elbow macaroni noodles. (Chance are good you’ll find yours there, too.)
4.) If you and your fridge are old enough, girl’s bobby pins. (Along with enough female hair to make a small wig.)
5.) Cats searching for tiny, edible Higgs bosons or glueballs that smell like Tuna.
(I made that last one up. Hehe.)
If they find the Higgs Boson the should rename it “Palestine”. Homeland issue resolved. Wait, name it Israel and you wont have to move them there, they will race to it. Then they will blow it up causing a reaction that will destroy the world. Same outcome, damn.
from today’s Boston Pravda:
The gulf between the haves and have-nots in the Boston area is widening, a new study has found.
The report by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council released today says, “Over the past 30 years, wealth in the region has become increasingly concentrated, creating a smaller group of wealthy families than ever before, while more Greater Bostonians than ever struggle to make ends meet.”
The poorest fifth of the population makes a median income of roughly $20,000, while the richest fifth earns, on average, more than 10 times that.
By contrast, in 1979, the report said, the median income of the richest fifth was only about six times that of the poorest fifth.
(back when they didn’t pay people to NOT work?)
(actually no, the “poorest” 5th don’t bleepin WORK so their “income” is zero)
Funny how they left that out and part that “families” that make $20,000/ year also get: free rent, free food, free health care and believe it or not, free cell phones along with the people with $0 “incomes” So they have $20,000 to spend on more drugs, cigarettes and lottery tickets so what’s the problem?
The real issue is the top 5th are only making $200,000, the janitors at Harvard make more than that! Irony of irony, I’d say that top 5th is probably 80%
liberal pukes too. hmmmmmm Well, I doubt most of them made their money from working for it so maybe Chairman Obama is right.
“Of course, they’re doing this all to inconvenience the “1 percent” while causing lower class people to lose a day’s wage.”
Question for Frank from Occupiers: “What’s a wage?”
Frank, you’ll have to attend this game and give us a full report:
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Ohio vs. Utah State
Boise, Idaho
Bronco Stadium
Dec. 17/5:30 p.m. ESPN
(I’m not making this up. Potatoes!)
What?!? They play football in Idaho? And in Boise, no less? Who knew?
23rd
23rd!
Dang! Ed beat me to it
From That one’s 60 minutes interview:
“Joe Biden has a good expression. He says, `Don’t judge me against the Almighty, judge me against the alternative.”
So… if you’re not to the left of Satan, we have nothing to complain about?
Or in other words, “Get thee behind me, Satan! I got this covered!”
That Tribune article doesn’t sound too confident about finding the Higgs boson.
“Scientists expect to find the God particle, blow up the world or discover a way to clone hot dogs.”
