From a blogging standpoint, I really hope Herman Cain is the nominee. That would be all sorts of awesome.
Using an antenna to get digital TV. Makes me feel like I’m watching HDTV in the 70s.
When you’re in your thirties, you stop looking forward to birthdays. It’s just sort of a long death march at this point.
It was for safety reasons they switched from metal lunchboxes to plastic as it made kids less vulnerable to Magneto attacks.
They should start giving movies R ratings for having too much incomprehensible CGI on screen. Kids should not be subjected to that.
The X-Men movie was pretty good. Had like men in it. And Xs. Think I remember seeing some trees.
And there was Emma Frost whose mutant powers were telepathy, turning her body in diamond, and needing to wear very little clothes.
The X-Men movie took place during the 60s when, as we learned from Mad Men, everyone was required to have a drink in his hands at all time.
Anyway, I give the new X-Men movie 4 stars. I haven’t decided out of how many stars total, though.
As it says in the Bible: “May be quoted or reprinted without prior written permission.”
I’d vote for Ron Paul if he were running for “crazy old prospector”.
Lord, Frank, you’re talking like my grandfather. “You kids never know, the last thing you see of me might be the smoke coming out of the chimney when I’m cremated.”
Random thought: In case you’re ignorant (And with today’s edumacation system…), today is D-Day. The phrase “D-Day” itself is a byword for the utmost devotion to duty and extraordinary and incomparable sacrifices in the defense of human freedom. In other words, just another day at work for the American warrior. Thanks for giving us the chance to breath free air, boys.
MarkoMancuso:
Thanks for the reminder about D-Day. That was the Allied invasion of Europe in World War II to begin the push of Nazi Germany out if the lands it had conquered in that war.
It was necessary for the U.S. to lead the battle after European countries stood by while a bunch of militaristic crazies who wanted to exterminate the Jews took over because those in power thought to appease them rather than oppose them.
That could never happen again, could it?
An old West Virginia Hillbilly saying: Ya can’t get the water to clear up until you get the pigs outta the creek.
*If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?*
*If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head? *
*If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who’s side he was on? *
*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *
*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed? *
*If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him? *
*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? *
*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ? *
*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? *
*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn’t you have had second thoughts about his capabilities? *
*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *
*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn’t you have winced in embarrassment? *
*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?*
*If any other of our presidents’ administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? *
*If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? *
*If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have ever approved. *
*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? *
*So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
*Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 24 months — so you have that much time to come up with an answer .*
*An’ how about all those vacations he & Michelle take constantly, (with a more than a full enterage’) paid for by American tax-payers? *
Oh c’mon! D – Day never happened! You guys are like Sarah Palin and Paul Revere and all… D-Day is just another Zionist re-write of history made up by the Jooooooooooos! Only Sarah Palin would say something stupid like we invaded Omaha beach to start our push into occupied France! We all know that never happened! Germany never invaded France! Read your history books. Golly!
For the important news of the day…another woman has come out with Wiener charges! Now that’s something to get excited about!
Going to movie theaters is supporting the marxists. Even if the movie involves stuff blowing up.
Happy belated birthday FrankJ.
Has anyone considered the world may be a better place if we had abandoned europe in the 40’s? I mean sure, they would be systematically exterminated, but they’re eupopeans.
I am starting to think Ron Paul may actually be the sanest choice for the GOP given the field. Cain is a good choice, but can he gain traction?
Random thought: I hope that when Sarah announces she is running she wears a really short skirt!
Random thought: Why hasn’t Fred Thompson hippie punched the clown in the white house?
When you’re in your forties its the same thing, although then it’s a considerably shorter death march.
God needs a better agent.
DamnCat:
I don’t know about that. His Son has done a pretty good job representing Him for a while now.
How long did it take to write that, Fred?
MarkoMancuso:
My guess is it took him about an hour and 28 minutes. What’s your estimate?
ussjc: Can you say with certitude that a second woman has come out with charges against Weiner?
zzyzx – Yup! Brietbart is releasing all the fun stuff today at noon! Supposedly Wiener had a “relationship” with another woman who has come forward with lewd pictures that Wiener sent her over a period of time. I’m guessing his Wiener was one of the pictures. Wiener is roasted…and I don’t think he’s a “plumper”…
Fred…is that you Fred Thompson? Or is that your lovely wife using your name?

Jack Elam will play Ron Paul in the movie.
I detest that silvery greeenish CGI look in most recent movies. Makes even fullo daylight seem like nightfall.
George Lucas pioneered replacing plot and story with CGI. Guess you can’t fit both in a movie.
The Bible may be quoted or reprinted without prior written permission, but don’t change a word. That would be a no-no.
Can Herman CAIN gain traction??
YES HE CAN!
No CAIN, No GAIN!
It took me a couple of days, Basil, to write something that was 300 words. His writing was over 800 words.
If he’s a Ron Paul supporter, however, it probably only took him fifteen minutes.
Great slogan Jimmy! I hope Herman totally steals it!
There’s no Mc in CAIN, plenty. Thank God!
(That’s mine too. I’ll be here all week.
Yes we CAIN!!
If it’s a Cain/Palin ticket, we can recycle all those old bumper stickers by just cutting off the Mc. So it would be a very environmentally friendly campaign. At least to start…
MarcoMancuso:
I’m thinking *not* a supporter of RONPAUL!!!!1!!!! The comment is not rife with misspellings, incorrect capitalization, or the other hallmarks of a Ronulan.
Good gosh, Frank J., you’ve absolutely nailed it! Ron Paul is a shoe-in for the annoying, nutty prospector in Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Note total insanity that engenders fear in those around him.)
And, of course, in honor of D-Day, Google is featuring nothing. Thank you internet for bringing us college kids who make billions of dollars, living the American dream with stupid website inventions like Google and Facebook, who hate America.
To be fair, Bing, which is usually better than this, has some sort of royal coach theme for today. At least they remembered Memorial Day last week.
anyone read all of Fred’s comment? Anyone got the Cliff Notes?
Thanks Basil for the Son comment.
EdthePastor:
I read all of what Fred wrote. Here’s the summary: Obama is an incompetent idiot and everyone who voted for him should be beat with a stick.
Actually, that’s not what he said, but he did lay out a good argument for taking everyone who voted for Obama out and beating them with a stick … if you’re so inclined.
So, like how did some of you guys get custom Avatars and I’m stuck with the same ole’ one….?….oh, nevermind! Twitter, ghey, lewd sexual acts performed on Frank J…I’ll stick with my old one thank you!!!
Come on, ussjc. Create your little carter on your Mac and then go to http://en.gravatar.com/ and set yourself up!
I read Fred’s comment over a week ago in the comment section of another site (maybe The Blaze, I don’t remember.)
It seems to be one of those things going around – but like Basil said, a good argument for beating o’s voters with a stick – or for reciting aloud WHILE beating an o voter with a stick!
Yeah in your thirties you stop looking forward to birthdays. In your forties at some point you actually stop counting them. I’m not sure what point, since you don’t, you know, count anymore. Not sure about 50 yet.
