“Instead of just showing the dead bodies of Uday and Qusay, we came up with something more creative,” Condoleezza Rice said, turning on a TV and putting in a tape.
“We strung up those two bastards like marionette puppets and made them dance!” Rumsfeld laughed.

5 guys standing around joking & laughing as a 2-kiloton nuke goes off 3.5 miles over their heads:

Although not without the standard-issue nukes-are-icky liberal boilerplate, the article at NPR is still quite informative about the background for this video. Especially the “where are they now” summary. You can almost see the tearstains on the author’s keyboard upon discovering that all 5 men weren’t dead from cancer within the year.

All the dry, charty numbers & science blah-blah are at World Climate Report, but here’s the interesting part:
we’ve compiled the top five years when the most records were set. When multiple years tie for the high, each individual year gets a fraction of a “record”. So, for example, 1954 and 1933 each get a half of a record for Colorado.
I forget… will questioning Global Warming get me put on Big Sis’s terrorist watch list?

If you did, you should probably email him about becoming a guest blogger there.
If you didn’t, he’s got another straight line for you to practice on.
Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.

From David Burge:
Obama’s base: people too lazy to do their own stealing.
From Political Math:
Woman calls Obama a “monster”, Romney: “That’s not a term I would use”. Wish Obama would say that about “felon”.
Via The Examiner:
In a tweet sent out Sunday, the campaign showed President Obama and Vice President Biden high-fiving under the headline “Dynamic Duo.”
Ok, that’s one possibility.

I was going to mention Paris Hilton & her purse-chihuahua, but then I remembered that Tinkerbell can speak in public without stuttering.
John Hawkins of Right Wing News surveyed right-wing bloggers on right-wing people to see who is most popular and who is most unpopular? Is Meghan McCain more liked than Thomas Sowell? How does Paul Ryan stack up against David Frum? Is there a single person out there who strongly likes David Brooks? Check it out and you will not be surprised! Though actually, who is popular and who isn’t is pretty interesting.

Unapologetic, unvarnished, pop-culture patriotism, without a shred or humor, derision, or irony.
If you’ve forgotten what it looks like, or if you’re young enough that you’ve never seen such a thing before, here it is, circa 1939, back before Alaska & Hawaii became states, and – it should be noted – even before the phrase “under God” was added to the pledge:

Canada’s has always been like the U.S.’s much less successful younger brother. We’re this rich businessman and adventurer who has been on the cover of every magazine, while Canada is going to make manager at McDonald’s any day now and has gotten a speaking role in the community theater’s production of Beauty and the Beast and we’re really proud of him.
Except now Canadians are richer than us.
I guess following the analogy, Obama is like a brain virus the successful businessman gets… or maybe a cocaine habit that makes him lose everything. And now the younger brother is the one with his life together.
Yep, we’re now being outpaced by those maple syrup-swilling moose jockeys up north. Thanks Obama!

So apparently Obama has a jobs council since he’s so focused on jobs, but he hasn’t met with them in six months. Of course, considering the sort of people Obama would put in a jobs council, they didn’t really have the greatest output anyway. Here’s some advice that came from them:
OBAMA JOBS COUNCIL ADVICE
“I checked the book of Job in the Bible for some ideas. How about a deal with the devil?”
“We looked up ‘job’ on Wikipedia, but then we clicked on one of the links in it and then another link and another and somehow eventually ended up on a page about the Metal Gear Solid video game and decided to play video games. So new job idea: soldier cloning program.”
“Can we hire someone to fetch us drinks? That would be a job.”
“Apparently lots of jobs involve lifting heavy stuff and people making sure you do your work well and on time. They sound awful. Are we sure we want to inflict more of those on the country?”
“If we made more jobs councils, we could hire people for those.”
“How about some sort of jobs creating robot? We could program it also to not kill humans… though that probably is the easiest way to open up more jobs.”
“We were going to talk to someone who has created a business before, but none of us know anyone like that.”
“I got the solution: A jobs bill.”

Have we ever considered turning Canada into a prison colony?
I’m trying to invent the “pake”. It’s a pie crust filled with cake and frosting.
If Obama’s government is responsible for success in America, why has he made so little success lately? What a jerk.
I made my pake but Obama said, “You didn’t build that!” and then ate it all and then ran off before Michelle saw him.
Chris Christie will give the GOP convention keynote speech so there will be at least one hour there’s access to the buffet table.
Instead of higher taxes, why don’t we just throw rich people into volcanoes to appease the economic fairness gods?
Topic for Chris Christie’s keynote speech: “Are you going to finish that?”
Man I’d love to hear some of the genius that went on in Obama’s jobs council. “Someone should make some jobs… I think.”
My main question for the new Dark Knight movie: Is Bale’s Batman voice just as ridiculous as ever?
How close are we to a real life Robocop? I hope closer than we are to robocriminals.
Saying yes to killing bin Laden was kind of a no duh decision. Another no duh decision: Saying no to selling guns to Mexican drug cartels.
It always kind of bothered me that when I asked SarahK to marry me, she had the diamond on her ring appraised before giving an answer.
