No News

Family stuff came up, so I didn’t have time for a news round up. Nothing really happened in the news yesterday, though; after all that debt ceiling drama, we finally had a slow news day. So just move along, and then tomorrow… news!

  1. Family stuff? Frank lost his favorite Webkinz at summer camp – spent all day yesterday out in the woods looking for it, and most of last night crying. Not to worry, SarahK’s just going to buy a new one and tell him she found it…don’t tell Frank.

  2. All sorts of things happen at Buttercup’s age: unexplained fevers, ear aches, exploding diapers that kill in-laws, parental stab wounds, diaper rashes that smell like rotting cabages (sauerkraut! – mine is almost done), putrifying, dripping green ceiling vomit requiring immediate cleaning, etc.

    Of course, he said “family stuff” and who knows what that is. Could be anythin’.

  3. So Dow minus 500 points = -15$ barrel of oil by those calculations…. If Obama gets relected gas should be a 1.50 by the end of his second term… no drilling necessary. Just have Millions and Millions of people not driving to work or vacation.

  4. The Dow is down 500. I guess that’s what Obama gets for not inviting Wall Street peeps to his birthday party.

    In real and super duper important news and hardly getting any coverage on the Fox “Let’s-Hire-Female-Anchors-With-Basic-Instinct-Short-Skirts-For-The-News” Network, please remember the famine in Africa. If you would donate even a small amount to WorldVision it will save lives. I can vouch for the ligitemacy of WorldVision and know the money will do what it must. $100 will feed a family of 6 for 2 weeks, but even $10 will do immense good.

    Super thanks to anyone who can do that, and God Bless you for it.

  5. So, the Obama administration has struck a deal to get the FAA back open. This makes one think: wait a second. The FAA was partially closed? And we didn’t know about it? And if something as crucial to America as the F-freaking-AA could be partially closed with impact consequence, what other federal programs can be partially closed without impinging on my ability to enjoy a Slim Jim?

    Well, we don’t have to worry about that. The federal government, and all its unnecessary and bloated programs, is fully working operational today. Thank you, President Obama!

    Oh, one other thing of note: President Obama made a very relieved pronouncement about the deal, saying “We can’t afford to let politics in Washington hamper our recovery, so this is an important step forward.”

    Nope. He’s not going to let DC politics hamper our recovery one little bit.

    Therefore, his next announcement will be the immediate, and complete repeal of Obamacare.

  6. I get it, Frank is taking the most news worthy day of the week off so that there will be lots of news to nuke on Friday (Friday is when the news folks put out all the fluff pieces) good tactical move Frank – carry on

  7. Here’s some news (at least for Democrats) it’s a lesson in how successful capitalism is when unfettered with onerous taxes. Alaska Air Group said Wednesday that bookings on Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air jumped 26 percent after the federal taxes on airplane tickets expired. Why, you might ask? Well it seems they passed the savings on to their customers who responded by buying more tickets thus increasing ticket sales of the two airlines. Someone should try and explain this concept to the current administration though I doubt it would do any good as I believe it’s beyond their capacity to uderstand.

  8. Lesson for the current administration….see, increased ticket sales means increased profits, which could lead to increased employees, which could lead to increased revenues sent to the treasury. Why is there an echo in here?

  9. Thanks, Crabby. Though I totally misspelled ‘legitimacy’…. darn it.
    If Buttercup is sick, I’m blaming her for what Bean (my baby girl) has. She probably sent it through the internet… Buttercup seems scary smart.

  10. Biggest news ever! Buttercup learned to fly. Frank knew what he was doing when he let her play with that radioactive

    flying squirrel. Also, SarahK had a birthday, but only to make Frank leave Obama’s party early.
