out of context

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

so…this is the best quote you’ll read about a Presidential candidate’s wife, taken out of context, all day:
“They’ve obviously never tasted Ann Romney’s sweet potato dish. It’s smooth as velvet, drizzled with butter and sprinkled with brown sugar.” — Eric Ferhnstrom (just moments before Mitt punched him in the throat for talking about Ann’s “sweet […]

the quarterback sneak -or - throwing into double-coverage

so…Tom Brady might have knocked up two ladies within a month of each other.
Fantastic.
Big deal. Really, it doesn’t affect his throwing arm.
It will affect his post-football political career, just a little…
Q: How do you know that Tom Brady is a Republican?
A: If he were a Democrat, he’d have a pull-out plan in place!

It’s time for you to go

so…I’m not a big fan of CNN Headline News. It’s just too repetitive all while not really telling you anything. Sure…I’ll watch 6 straight hours of SportsCenter, but…anyway, Erika likes HN so it’s on every so often.
The last couple of nights I’ve managed to catch the Glenn Beck show. I think he’s an ass…yet, I’m […]

a dollar short and a day, or 30, late

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

so…it’s Election Day and something dawned on me this morning (wait for the weak pun…):
as I was walking from North Station through the courtyard of the courthouse I could see the first rays of sun shining of the gold dome of the State House on Beacon Hill…maybe the first rays of the last days of […]

two things that should not meet up on a Sunday morning

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

so…I have a small problem with keeping Sammy’s Little Einsteins episodes on after he has fallen asleep — really, I’m not watching them for my own entertainment..really, I swear. This morning when I realized that Little Einsteins was still on, I hit stop and the last station we were watching came on: NBC, showing Meet […]

oddly convenient?

so…Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death.
There are only 3 days until Election day (and the Republicans are in danger of losing significant ground).
I really hope that those two statements are non sequiturs…

please refrain from voting for nonessential Presidential candidates

Bush to push Americans to cut energy use — Americans to push Bush to stop winter altogether
I’m all for energy conservation, but I don’t believe for one second that this new campaign to encourage people to use less to save more will amount to anything but a bulletpoint that the adminstration can point to when […]

oops, I just crapped my pants

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

so…I know this is “old” news, but I haven’t been the most up-to-date on things around here, and I haven’t really been feeling quite myself as far as making fun of the world…
The Shrub’s little note:

I understand that he isn’t used to UN meetings, and his girlfriend, I mean, Secretary of State Rice has more […]

that is going to be one hell of a game of telephone!!

The Shrub tells victims: ‘A lot of help coming’
You know, that would be a great message to send, if you could actually get it to the victims: there is no effective way for mass-communication in downtown N.O.!
He is supposed to survey the damage tomorrow. Now, considering that there are people shooting at helicopters, and carjacking […]
