GLENN BECK HITS SOME NAILS ON THE HEAD:

CATAGORIES: 2008 presidential election,barack obama,GENERAL NONSENSE,GREAT QUOTES — Yarbz @ 12:08 pm

There’s some excellent reading in Beck’s latest. Here is an excerpt from Glenn Beck Column for Aug 28, 2008:

Michelle Obama: “That’s why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities.”

Michelle Obama’s chosen career path led her to make $275,000 per year at a private hospital. Is that really a “public service” job?

It seems to me that a Republican wouldn’t be able to get away with such a generous assessment of their résumé. They would surely be harassed for making a six-figure salary inside the evil health care industry, while millions suffer without insurance.

HERE IS THE WHOLE COLUMN

2008 olympics quotations

CATAGORIES: GREAT QUOTES,SPORTS,WTF — CinLin @ 6:26 pm

I received this list in an email today:

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during
the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting commentator: ‘This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria.
I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.’

2. Dressage commentator: ‘This is really a lovely horse and I speak from
personal experience since I once mounted her mother.’

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: ‘I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and
father.’

4. Boxing Analyst: ‘Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in
boxing, but none of them really that serious.’

5. Softball announcer: ‘If history repeats itself, I should think we can
expect the same thing again.’

6. Basketball analyst: ‘He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like
it.
In fact you can see it all over their faces.’

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: ‘Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC
president is hugging the cox of the British crew.’

8. Soccer commentator: ‘Julian Dicks is everywhere.
It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.’

9. Tennis commentator: ‘One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that,
before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them…
Oh
my God, what have I just said?’

THIS ABSOLUTELY BLOWS… THE KID BETTER SUE:

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE,SPORTS,WTF — Yarbz @ 8:38 am

A Connecticut youth baseball team with a phenomenal 9-year-old pitcher has been disqualified because its team is too good.

The team, Will Power Fitness, has an 8-0 record thanks in large part to pitcher Jericho Scott, the New Haven Register reports. His pitching is so fast and accurate, the Liga Juvenil De Baseball De New Haven asked the team’s coach, Wilfred Vidro, to replace him so he wouldn’t frighten other players.

OUCH! OUCH! DAMN! OUCH! SHIT! OUCH!

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE,I hate it when this happens,OUCH!,WTF — Yarbz @ 6:45 am

0637 hours and I just arrived at my desk. The area right between my eyes is screaming in sharp pain. It’s beginning to swell up and I am going to have to figure out a way to make the pain ratchet down.

About 15 minutes ago, I was riding in to the office in a nice dry 52 degree morning. The light was still in that glowing early morning, sun not quite over the horizon mode. Beautiful. I took the back roads and was passing some open fields. The traffic was light as I was beating most of the workers to the office.

WHAP! Ouch! Another bug hits me in my face. I am used to it and it doesn’t bother my much anymore… Unless that bug is a yellow jacket. Sting! Right between the eyes.! Shit that hurt. I quickly pull over and confirm it was a yellow jacket and whip it away. My face hurts.

I figure maybe the cold air will help and I continue into the office for another fifteen minutes. The pain worsens until I arrive in the parking lot where they let motorcycles park for free, saving us the $100 plus car drivers have to pay.

Now that I am at my desk and there is no riding and traffic watching to do, I can now really focus on the pain.

This is going to be a crap day. I can just tell.

From my e-mail: non-partisan

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — FloridaBill @ 12:30 pm

A president’s pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years old.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen. Obama would be retired For 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

How’s that for non partisan?

A PARTICULARLY BAD DAY:

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE,I hate it when this happens,OUCH!,REST IN PEACE — Yarbz @ 12:29 pm

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man who grabbed a knife to try to get his two young children out of a locked car died when he fell on the blade, Charlotte police said.

The Charlotte Observer reported that 22-year-old Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus died Sunday afternoon at Carolinas Medical Center after being stabbed in the chest.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were investigating but said Lemus’ death appears to have been an accident.

Lemus and his wife had dropped by their apartment briefly before planning an errand when they realized they had locked their children and keys in the car, authorities said.

The woman searched for spare keys and Lemus grabbed a large butcher knife he hoped to use to pry open a window, police said. Lemus fell down six stairs and landed on the knife, police said.

The woman got the children out with the spare keys.

THE AUDACITY OF RESUME-PADDING (OR, WHY OBAMA MAKES THINGS UP)

Abraham katsman and Kory Bardash , THE JERUSALEM POST August 17th, 2008

One of the knocks on Barack Obama is that his résumé is, so to speak,
paper-thin. But that is not entirely accurate. Obama, in fact, has held some
major job titles which are noteworthy all by themselves: United States
Senator, Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, Harvard Law
Review President-each of these titles puts him in rarefied company. Tack on
a few Illinois State Senate terms, and his resume actually appears solid.
Yet, in spite of these prestigious positions, Obama has increasingly
resorted to making claims of accomplishment that are so patently inflated
that even his cheerleaders at CNN and the New York Times are taking notice.
Why?
