Random Thoughts: Punctuation Rebel

Posted by on

In the internet age, how many new business created didn’t even really need those roads and bridges?

It’s certainly not good PR for gay marriage to be associated with Chicago values.

Unless the punctuation is modifying only what’s in the quotes, the punctuation should be outside of the quotes. That’s just logical.

It’s like who came up with grammar rules weren’t computer programmers first.

Are people really going to assert that “You didn’t build that!” was a friendly message towards business creators and not a chastisement?

What I get from the left being this obsessed with small Romney gaffes is that they’re still desperate for a good angle to attack him from.

I’m only two pages into Axe Cop: President of the World and it’s already the most awesome comic book ever.

I download comic books to my iPad because I don’t want to go comic book shops since they’re full of weirdos who like comic books.

The new Axe Cop comic was insanely good. I wish I could be half as creative as Malachi Nicolle.

The “You didn’t build that!” line is being taken out of context from Obama’s peevish chastisement of successful business creators.

If you haven’t played that free to download game Slender, maybe don’t. So simple in concept, yet so incredibly creepy. I love how in the game you’re constantly sure he’s right behind you, but you absolutely don’t want to look.

Link of the Day: This Is What Barack Would Do If Michelle Were Pregnant

Posted by on

[High Praise! to RAML]

From the Glenn Beck radio show:

‘Denny’ got another letter from Obama… but is it real?

No, it’s not a REAL fundraising email, but it’s not too much of a stretch for the campaign that wants your wedding gifts:

Excerpt:

Friend –

I need your help. Barack’s been giving me a hard time about my weight lately. He’s always mentioning that I’m getting a little bit of a belly

He’s so skinny it’s maddening – despite the fact that he’s always sneak-eating those cheeseburgers and milkshakes on the campaign trail – (I know everything he does… every minute of the day… Valerie Jarrett!)

But, Barack doesn’t know that I have a great reason for gaining a little weight… I’m pregnant!

How should I announce the news to Barack? Can you help me?

I want to get some “girlfriends” together to discuss the best way to surprise the President!

The next time Barack is flying around the country in our jet, campaigning or playing golf, four lucky ladies will join me for tea at the White House (de-caf of course – hey, I’m preggers!) and we’ll come up with a plan.

Wisdom of the Day: Grandmothers Hate Chicken

Posted by on

From Chris Downing:

BREAKING NEWS: In a further effort to protect people from sweets and sweetness, New York City has imposed a ban on Grandmothers.

From Tom Siedell:

We become what we most hate. So I’ll apologize now for eventually playing for the Yankees.

From Cuffé:

“I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE OFFENDED IN ALL MY LIFE.” – crazy person yelling at a chicken sandwich.

10 Things Besides AK-47s That Obama Thinks the US Military Uses

Posted by on

“I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals; that they belong on the battlefield of war”

So said the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces.

Um… AK-47s are a Russian thing. America uses M16s.

So either he was saying he wants James Holmes to join the Russian Army, or Obama’s just an out-of-touch droolsack with no understanding of American military equipment.

For the purposes of today’s post, I’m assuming the latter and listing a few other things Obama thinks the US military uses:
______________

Crocs: the official footwear of the US military.

1) Bearskin hats

2) Panzerkampfwagen tanks

3) MiG jet fighters

4) Oliphaunts

5) Quatloos

6) Photon torpedoes

7) Nimbus 2000 racing brooms

8) X-wings

9) BFG 9000s

10) Iocane powder

______________

Sorry, Barack, none of the above.

Also not on the list: white flags.

Discovered: The Least Qualified Person in the World to Discuss Guns

Posted by on

[High Praise! to The Hope for America]

Full disclosure: I’m sloppy with gun terminology. I use “pistol” & “gun” interchangeably. Ditto “clip” & “magazine”. I’ve been corrected by people who know better than me on several occasions, and I still screw it up, usually out of sheer laziness.

That said, Cenk Uygur makes me look like Teddy Jacobson:


[YouTube direct link] (Viewer #1,016)

As for who Cenk is, this should tell you just about everything you need to know:

Uygur appeared on MSNBC as a political commentator in 2010, later hosting a weeknight commentary show on the channel for nearly six months—until the time slot was given to Al Sharpton. Shortly after leaving MSNBC, Uygur secured a show on Current TV that began airing on December 5, 2011.

That’s right… he’s the guy that MSNBC thought was a bigger idiot than Al Sharpton.

Nuff said.

Obama Announces Fast and Furious Expansion Into the Middle East

Posted by on

Obama said:

“I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms. I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation…. but I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals; that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities.”

He wants AK-47s in the hands of soldiers, except it’s not our soldiers who use AK-47s. They’re used mainly by the guys shooting at our soldiers. So Obama wants to arm our enemies! Someone check and makes sure Eric Holder didn’t start a Fast and Furious program in the Middle East too.
