Week in Review

CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:00 am

File under Week 29 of 2008

That’s just gotta hurt in ways I can’t fathom.

Olive Riley passed away this week. She was the world’s oldest blogger (very much worth the read if the server isn’t crashing). RIP Olive. May we all be as fortunate to have lived so well.

I did not understand this headline and thought it oxymoronic. Then I read the story. How could I not click on this headline. You’ve got to be kidding me with this one. It was clearly designed to grab attention. As if a live rat would have been any better, comes this headline out of the great state of Wisconsin. You gotta use feral rats lady, not nice clean lab rats. I also hear that they taste like chicken and are good with Chianti. For golfers, this headline was unexpected, but pleasant.

The American League won the All Star Game again this year meaning that the White Sox will have home field advantage against the Cubs in the World Series. Yes, I am serious about this prediction.

I thought this was kind of scary. Bloggers being censored is bad news. Here is more of the same from Google who “quarantined” several blogs that are anti-Obama. Wow. I guess we know how they will vote in November.

Yarbz finally got rid of his Jeep in favor of a new Volksvagon GTI. Congrats! It is nice. I am jealous. Fast and economical and sharp looking and with eighteen inch wheels!

From the I Hate It When That Happens files comes this story about a drunk 22 year old who fell into a bear enclosure and was ripped apart. OMG.

I loved this story about a cancer survivor whose name will soon be Courtney Courtney.

Nominees for Fucktard of the Week (kind of a slow week for Fucktardary for once):
Jon Schillaci. The death penalty would be too lenient.
77-year-old Helen Golay and 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt. Homeless men were “sacrificed at their altar of greed”.
Amber Brewington, 21. Postpartum depression is no excuse.

Shark jump. Wow.

The new Batman movie, The Dark Knight opens today. I want to see it. My son and his friends went to the midnight showing last night.

GNR will allegedly have a song from the mythical album “Chinese Democracy” on the new Rock Band game. Yeah. Right. I will believe it when I hear it.

Happy healthy weekends to all.

U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) today:

Senator Obama this morning said that he wants a foreign policy that is “tough, smart, and principled.” This afternoon, I ask: was it tough when Senator Obama voted to order U.S. forces to retreat from Iraq on a fixed timeline—regardless of the recommendations of our military commanders, regardless of conditions on the ground? Was it smart when Senator Obama opposed the surge and predicted that it would fail to improve security? Was it principled when Senator Obama said that he would order U.S. troops to retreat from Iraq, regardless of the humanitarian consequences for millions of innocent Iraqis—even genocide? Was it tough and principled when Senator Obama said he would be open to changing his plan for Iraq after going there and talking to General Petraeus—only to change that position a few hours later after being heatedly criticized by organizations like Moveon.org? I say respectfully, the answer to all of those questions is no.

Senator Obama also said this morning that he wants a foreign policy that recognizes that we have interests “not just in Baghdad, but in Kandahar and Karachi and Tokyo and London.” But what Senator Obama does not seem to recognize is that—in an interdependent world—what happens in Baghdad affects our interests in Kandahar and Karachi and Tokyo and London. What Senator Obama does not seem to understand is that—had we taken the course he had counseled and retreated from Iraq—the United States would have suffered a catastrophic defeat that would have left America and our allies less safe not just in Baghdad, but in Kandahar and Karachi and Tokyo and London.

“Our plan is not just a plan to survive; it’s a plan to win,” said Wagoner, noting that raised cash could aid the company in shifting from trucks and SUVs to more fuel efficient cars. “Our stated goal is to become the fuel economy leader in every sector in which we participate,” said Robert Lutz, GM’s vice chairman of global product development.

NEW VEHICLE FOR YARBZ:

CATAGORIES: GAS FUEL ENERGY,GENERAL NONSENSE,TRAVEL/ROADTRIPS/PLACES TO VISIT — Yarbz @ 9:10 am

Yarbz got this VW GTI MK IV with 31 miles on it Thursday afternoon. The sticker stated the EPA mileage estimate at 20 city 29 highway. I promptly tested out using selective hypermiling techniques and got 32 combined city, country, and highway. After broken in I can probably do even better! Of course, that’s with very patient driving which will only be done when I am patient…

Week in Review

CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:38 am

File under Week 28 of 2008

China Prepares to host the world (and perhaps shoot at them from crouched positions on motorized devices).

Without further photographic evidence, we cannot tell if this bat found in a bra was happy or just uncomfortable.

The State of Virginia is a bunch of phony’s for selling scratch off tickets when the major prize was given away over a month before they stopped selling the tickets, resulting in a zero chance to win $75k. I always have a zero chance of winning since I don’t play.

How about those Cubs? Harden should make a nice addition to the pitching and my prediction for a cross-town World Series is coming to fruition.

I was a minor fucktard (note the difference in capitalization) of sorts last weekend when I did not attend the Ted Nugent show. I also missed a couple of phone calls that would have gotten me there if I had been alert and sober. My bad. I like to think of myself as one who can be counted upon, and you shouldn’t have to call me repeatedly to confirm plans, but I blew it last weekend. I must try harder. (Or drink less or later).

I do not put myself in the same category as Lonnie Ramos or Edward Lanphear or Chaudry Rashad or Hans Reiser who are clearly Fucktards with a capital F. Here is an update on one of our Fucktards from last week, Puffer Fish Dude. Nice try buddy. I gotta think that Christie Brinkley’s soon-to-be-ex, Peter Cook is a Fucktard as well. The two resolved their differences yesterday and Christie got everything. Jesse Jackass makes our list this week (again and as pointed out by Spazticus earlier in the week) for saying that he supports the Obama campaign after saying he wanted to “cut his nuts off”. Nice thing for a Reverand to say, huh? Frankly, I loved hearing it.
Loved it.

However, it was clearly a low blow.

I did not understand this headline. Then I read the story. I sort of get it now.
I wonder why this headline was one of the most popular on Tuesday? And what about these two headlines next to each other on Wednesday on CNN:
• CNNMoney: Gas prices hold in record territory
• CNNMoney: Oil reverses course after 2-day slide

I hate it when this happens:

Wet Mazda

From the world of SuperHeroes this week, I give you Mr. Methane. What a blow hard.

This morning, there is a huge kerfluffle over the new I-phone. I bet Feste has one already.

This was the best news watermelon investors could have ever hoped for.

RIP to “Doc” Dwyer. You know who he was. Another RIP to Jesse Helms. They are gonna just love you in Hades. Buh-bye.

Helms with Ronald Reagan in 1983: ‘The more we remove penalties for being a bum, the more bum-ism is going to blossom’

And I thought bum-ism was rating the rear ends of women! Go figure.

Happy healthy weekends to all.
