Bonehead Of The Day

How is it this no-real-job, senator brat believes she can recite liberal talking points and Republicans will actually take what she has to say with any seriousness?

About Tom Tancredo’s stupid-but-accurate remarks at the Tea Party Convention…

It’s innate racism, and I think it’s why young people are turned off by this movement. And I’m sorry — revolutions start with young people, not with 65-year-old people talking about literacy tests and people who can’t say the word vote in English.
Meghan McCain on The View

Meghan, you’re going on 26. That “young people” thing isn’t going to apply too much longer, and real young people may not appreciate an unauthorized, self-appointed, princess spokeswoman, as you really suck at speaking for Republicans.

Oh, and the young people’s Obama revolution shows just how sucker-prone they are.

First NOAA, and now this.

I don’t like being buried in snow, but if it helps make these people look like even bigger assclowns than they already are, it’s worth it.

Obama Signs Child Obesity Task Force Memo, Schools to Get ‘Healthier’ Vending Machines

As Denny’s served a free Grand Slam breakfast to every American, Michelle and Barack Obama announced a new initiative aimed at getting big labor snouts even deeper into the public trough — er, I mean… designed to fight childhood obesity:

The White House officially launched its fight against childhood obesity Tuesday morning, with First Lady Michelle Obama appearing in a televised interview announcing it and then standing by her husband as he signed a memo ordering federal agencies to work together on the project.

But to make young people healthier will require some changes to business-as-usual at schools.

For example, here is a vending machine you might see in schools or on campuses today:

Fat, fat, fat! Yuck! This stuff is bad for kids bodies and brains.

So with that in mind, the Obama Task Force is making some changes. The contents of these machines will be altered slightly so as to promote a healthier lifestyle both of body and mind:

Nobody’s Perfect: Palin’s Palm



Nobody's Perfect:
Everyone is making a big deal about Sarah Palin's notes to herself, which she made to remind herself just what to say at the American Tea Party movement meetings last week.
Many thought this was a very childish thing to do. She should have written this down on paper. But anyone who has seen her talk before, knows she writes keywords on index cards.
It seems that day, there were no index cards to be found, therefore, she being a practical woman, just used the next best thing.
At least she's not afraid of getting her hands dirty.
BUT...I think we should all take note, this picture has just been found. Even though Sarah needed to be reminded of talking to us about what we really all care about, things like energy, taxes, and lifting our American spirits...
This other picture was taken on a talk that Obama gave in Iowa, during his Presidential run. There, on his hand, you can clearly see what his strategy was on winning the day!
The old tried and true gimmick that has been used since 1776...
Give away freebies!
The old fashioned way to buy American votes! Forget the substance, just bring the bribes! And now that he is President, the bribes have become much too big to write on a mere palm.
So, before we condemn Sarah for just being herself, let's not forget...
Would you rather be given free beer?
Or lower taxes?
Maybe what we need is some professional palm readers here...I'd say it takes a little more to lift the American Spirits then cold beer...

‘Yellow Line’ Train Offends Asian Activists, People with Bladder Control Problems

Atlanta’s train system, called MARTA, started using color-coded lines last fall to help people navigate the system. What could possibly go wrong in a city loaded to the gills with professional activists who get paid to find reasons to be outraged?

The “Yellow Line” answers that question:

Asian-American activists offended that MARTA re-named the train line into the heart of Atlanta’s Asian community the “yellow line” will take their objections to the transit agency’s chief on Friday.

“Yellow,” as a term for skin color, carries a generally negative, racist connotation among Asians.

MARTA officials were warned by an employee before the name change last October that Atlanta’s burgeoning Asian community would find the term for the line to Doraville offensive.

“Historically, it has had a derogatory intent,” said John Park, an attorney with the nonprofit Center for Pan Asian Community Services in Doraville, just down the hill from the Marta station. “It physically paints a very unattractive picture. I don’t consider myself ‘yellow.’”

Park and other Asian activists plan to meet Friday with MARTA CEO Beverly Scott. They hope MARTA will change the line’s name from yellow to gold.

Change the name to “gold”? And offend those of us who can’t afford gold? Talk about catering to the wealthy! Wait until the poverty advocates get hold of these people!

Michelle Malkin is Asian, and she of course thinks this “controversy” is silly — but her skin is thicker than tissue paper, unlike activists.

What’s next? Obviously the “brown line” has to go also, as it’s offensive to both African-Americans and/or people who don’t wipe their butts very well.

“Green line” reeks of frogophobia and needs to be done away with, as does “red line” (offensive to commies), “white line” (implies a caucasian-only train), and “Walk the Line” (it mocks my fellow drunken Irishmen who sometimes are unable to do so).

And check this out… buried deep in the above story there’s something that shouldn’t be surprising, but is nonetheless:

MARTA employs 13 people in its diversity office. They focus on equal opportunity in employment and disadvantaged business and perform some community outreach.

MARTA has 13 people in their diversity office and not one could keep MARTA from calling it the “yellow line”?

I’ve never seen a city train system with more “diversity” employees than people who actually operate the trains.

This just in: The hits keep on coming — somebody from MARTA’s diversity department found a box of Spic n’ Span under the sink and hispanic activists are planning a protest in Atlanta as we speak.

Blizzard Forces NOAA to Hold Teleconference to Announce New Global Warming Department

null

Timing is everything:

As D.C. continued to dig out from Snowmageddon and is keeping an eye on another storm system, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was busy making a climate change announcement.

NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says.
[...]
Turns out the release was planned prepared ahead of the snowstorm, which shut federal agencies today and forced its senders to hold a press conference by telephone instead of at the National Press Club.

Couple this with the reminder that only 15 months ago, RFK, Jr. said that global warming means no more snow or cold in DC (of course, 15 months ago nobody thought the Dems would ever in a million years lose Ted’s Senate seat either), and it’s been a good week to laugh at global warmists.

Game Goes to Best Kicker!



Nobody’s Opinion:

Last night, it was reported by Fox News Reporter Sheppard Smith, who was standing in front of an empty (?) New Orleans brothel house in order to sound official, that over 103 million people watched the Superbowl…biggest in history.

Amazing…I know. I was number 103.

And being since I’m a nobody, and don’t usually watch football games, here’s a few random thoughts from my experience.

We can still make fun of football, can’t we?

First: I’m not sure I actually saw a game…I think I did. But, I’m not sure. I saw a guy kick the ball pretty good…and a lot of guys fall down. I saw a big crowd that LOOKED real, but after AVATAR, I’m not sure. Squinting didn’t help.

It seemed that if you didn’t know any better, the actual football game is just trivial amusement in-between the REAL entertainment---which is the commercials. In all, not very important, unless of course you are from a city with a team playing---then its life or death, and you might end up losing your wife, job, and next house payment if your team loses, or the guy next to you gets too drunk and bashes your head in for saying obscenities about his team.

Not that it matters anymore---What are they gonna do? Take away your Medicare?

Anyway…Here’s My Nobody Summary of Superbowl 44.

Impressively, not two, but five very big, and by the looks of their suits, very well paid commentators, who, between the five of them (or was it ten?) had looked like they had just eaten a herd of cows with twenty baked potatoes topped with eight tons of sour cream. They did not tell us what was REALLY going on, but they talked very fast so they could all be sure to get Tiger Woods cancelled endorsements.

I bet these guys are still downtown Miami and are still talking about nothing, or the lady who was sitting on the 50th yard line.

Game starts: BIG black lady sings “God Bless America” and the cameras shows mostly white men's serious faces. Big black lady has the lungs of a five-pound gerbil. But, one song was not enough. A really tiny white girl, with the lungs of a 500-ton blue whale sang, “the bombs bursting in aiiiiiiiirrrrr.....” and they showed serious black faces, and then the jets fly overhead.

What? Now we need two songs to start the game?

Why stop there? I think it would be fun if after the songs, a gang of black and white pigs wearing the jerseys and numbers of the team players were turned loose to run around the field, and each player had to catch his own pig before the game starts…but that’s me.

Puppy Bowl is simply not enough.

First half: I have mostly one repeated vision going through my mind’s eye, of two big black men dressed in blue, who can ram any man and then spin around like a washer machine, and then fall down so hard, you hear ducks quacking in Canada.

Wonderfully fun to watch.

One guy had long dreadlocks, which may or may NOT be real…depending. They might have been attached to his helmet; at least I hope so because Miami is the home of the famous cockroach nests. You know---the story where a woman didn’t wash her head “buns” for a week, and she found a nest of cockroaches nesting in her hair?

Miami…it’s true. Dreadlocks…cockroaches…not a pretty thought.

THEN….commercials: Lots of “anti-men” commercials. One in particular is a guy staring at another man’s…butt while he is getting a drink at the water cooler. We see football player’s butts with thongs, dancing and spraying tan on their faces. Then we see one guy flop up like a whale onto his belly, looking rather…wet…and ready to be petted. Add in a lot of humiliation by a woman shopping while her man misses the game, and the whole football “manly” thing was pretty much a master experiment in subliminal suggestions to the world audience, that “men are basically wimps, and we like them like that...” attitude for “change.”
In the 21st century.

If I ever see another man in naked “buns” commercial ever again, it will be too soon.

Luckily we were saved by a dog that outsmarts the jerk called man and gets his Doritos.
Humanity is redeemed and put back into the proper advertising perspective---that men deserve to be ruled by women, and their dogs.
.
Back to the game. The Saints still look pretty lame, but lucky for them, they have a wonderful kicker. The Colts, are constantly being yelled at by a quarterback with tiny little hands, who likes to sit very still and get his picture taken. The Colts take the lead.

UNTILL, that tiny insignificant little white guy comes in again and kicks the ball through the posts. The Saints coach decides a few points are better than none, so he keeps letting the guy add up points.

HALF TIME; Wow…Disney came to the field, and a man disguised as Goofy played guitar. The famous singer, Roger Daltry, pulled out the same coat he wore on Dick Clark’s Bandstand in 1957, just to show the world he could still fit into it.

And if hair doesn’t come with age, wisdom does! Who watched the old guys on stage when you had probably a hundred 20-year-old geniuses work out a Laser light show that was seen on the Moon?

I wouldn’t mind seeing that again! Wow.

Second Half: Gonzo was on a run! He was so quick even the camera man couldn’t keep up with his speed and fast moves! Look at him slurp that bowl!

Wait,--- that’s PuppyBowl.

In the second half the Colts kicker, missed his one and only kick. Therefore the very important quarterback, so named because he is never on his back, unless they flip the quarter wrong, a guy named Manning, blamed the whole loss of the game on HIM, even though he threw the ball to the other team and lost the game…

And he threw it to a guy that took it and ran the whole field while waving his finger ordering what appeared to be a number one at Jack-in- the-Box!

But, that’s why the men are becoming wimps. Manning kept shaking his head at the loser who missed the kick, and men are not allowed to do that anymore. They are allowed to drink beer, and THEN blame the kicker, but not before.

Times truly are changing.

After the game was over, everyone in Miami took a plane to New Orleans to celebrate, after they got out of the parking lot in Miami. (Which means most of them will arrive just in time for Mardi Gras) And we will now have to hear for at least a year, how the winning quarterback of the Saints and his wife single-handily built every house destroyed by Katrina back with their own bare hands. Their son will passed out Mardi Gras Beads to all the kids every Mardi Gras, and star in the next Spielberg film.

The Colts will move to Haiti.

And God is good, and quarterbacks cry, even without admitting they did steroids.

And because of Janet Jackson WE SAW ONLY ONE CHEERLEADER. Well, maybe two. Cheerleaders take up too much commercial time, but come on…NO cheerleader shots? What kind of game is that?

And speaking of “cheer leading,” I’m not sure what America was supposed to get out of the Budweiser commercials. “We must all get along” with…India?

Find a bull and be friends?

Why do I get the feeling that the new owners of Anheuser Busch do not actually LIKE Americans? I mean, they made a human bridge and ran their beer trucks over perfectly ordinary, good Americans with their dirty beer truck tires….

I took offense at that---which brings me to the conclusion: The NFL should buy the Clydesdale's. And make them go over a bridge made out of Bud Light beer cans, pulling wagons of Sam Adams Beer, and then when they get over the bridge of Bud Light smashed beer cans, the bridge will collapse.

And the Clydesdale's will turn and laugh, and they will show this EVERY Superbowl til’ the end of time.
What do you think?

Wait---I almost forgot to mention that girl who wanted the OTHER girl to finish her massage before she got on the Internet…remember those two beauties?

Good advice. Always finish the message.

I don’t think either of those girls was real, but I can bet those first five commentators tried to find out...in fact...Google is sending in the NSA to find out whose making all those "googles" at a certain restaruant in South Beach.

And now…aren’t you glad somebody was paying attention?
(Nobody notes, you had to see the game to understand this...or...maybe not.)
