Hail the alma mater

None of the participants in this video are from my alma mater.

However, this debate tournament took place at Emory University and is ridiculous on many, many levels.



What is sadder, that this took place at my old school, that this was a debate tournament, or that both of these jokers are tenured professors at their respective universities?

Damn dirty hippies.

At least Emory is somewhat faultless for hosting the tournament in the first place. Unlike, say, bringing in Michael Moore and Tom Brokaw, or letting an unruly mob shut down David Horowitz's speech.

Those latter actions better represent why I haven't given them a dime in years, and won't for a very long time.

I need a caption

Some of you have seen this video, some of you have not.



I knew folks in Miami liked to party hard and act crazy, but kite surfing in the middle of a tropical storm or hurricane wasn't what I had in mind.

I need help on a caption. Pick one below, or suggest your own.

• Late Entry for Darwin Awards Flies High, But Survives
• Natural Selection Works With Natural Disasters, Too
• YOU STUPID FUCK!!!
• I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
• I think I see my hou....BOOM!
• Not The Moron Flight He Intended

Or, suggest something better.

Stop Bribing Me

Pandering ticks me off.

I've spoken before about how I wasn't too fond of the recent round of "stimulus payments". They seemed like an election year tactic in 2006 and 2008 - attempts to subdue voter discontent by giving them back money they had already earned. They seemed more like a bribe than an actual plan of government - and of course, almost all of that stimulus money has been sent, and spent, and American consumers are still feeling the pinch.

But fear not, for the Obamessiah has decided that George Bush's policy is good enough for him. Apparently, he would like to send every family a stimulus check for $1,000 (or $500 for each individual worker) funded by "windfall profits from Big Oil". i.e. raising taxes.

Yes, that's right. Barack Obama's answer to a problem is to take a page from George Bush's playbook.

(H/t Slublog for the PhotoShop)

And of course, we all know that those additional costs wouldn't be passed on to the customer, because companies are ALWAYS willing to eat higher costs.

So, in the end, you will get a check from the government, funded by taxes paid by oil companies, which will be used to pay for more expensive gasoline, oil, and so on, which will then stay elevated even after your stimulus payment has disappeared.

Let's just spend another $50 billion, even though there is no guarantee of having the revenue to cover that, when we've already been screwed into a massive federal deficit.

Riiiiiiiiight.

Heaven forbid the money be used to continue working on developing more sources of oil (DRILL DAMMIT!) to lower prices or alternative energy sources.

You know you are devoid of ideas when you take ideas from someone you despise and ridicule on a daily basis...but that's exactly what Obama is doing in trying to push this idea and I'm once again reminded that we have an election between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

One Order of Stupid, Coming Right Up

Yes, it's whitey's fault that Mike Vick ran a dogfighting ring. Because, when possible, blame whitey and rednecks.

H/t to WWTDD.

At least Whoopi is keeping the moron quota for the show in line.

Whaaa?

I know the reputation of pageant contestants isn't great, but this is ridiculous.

26=3?????

Paris Hilton was ordered back to jail and threw an almighty tantrum when she was ordered back to jail to fill the rest of her sentence - another 40 days (as low as 20 if she starts acting right)

She is 26 years old.

The tantrum she threw wouldn't be tolerated from a 26-month old. Even Alex wouldn't throw a tantrum like that. Strange that a 3-year old can be more mature than a 26-year old.

And no, I don't feel any pity at all for her. She's lucky she didn't kill someone when driving drunk.

Dumbass.

Dis-Grace

Nancy Grace show to end on Court TV

Darn. I mean, she was just a shining beacon of fair and balanced journalism.

I mean, just a shame that her exemplary work isn't better received.

Right?



Nah. Must be an exception to the rule, right?



Well, that's just two instances, really......



Are you sure it's not just piling on?



Aw, screw it, just mash them all up. At least her idiotic bloviating will be on fewer channels now.



My apologies for blowing out your bandwidth.

OK, not really.

Fat turd dropped

Rosie O'Donnell is leaving The View.

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of other places where she can spout her paranoid, delusional, borderline psychopathic ramblings.

I wonder how much they miss Star Jones.............and this will most certainly be my only post ever about The View.

Freakin' moonbat:

Ankle-biting karma

So, how's this for a cycle:

• Work really hard.
• Work so hard that there is more stress.
• Get sick because you're stressed.
• Stay home because you're sick from the flu and can't get out of bed for 4 days.
• Return to work and get written up for.....taking sick time while sick.....because you were working too hard.

Let's say busting my behind so much in the office is going to be taking much more of a backseat to getting the hell out of the office.
