Dancing in the Desert Blowing Up the Sunshine

"The one thing I’d like to point out is that the system worked."

Really?

Come on.

The only reason this plane didn’t blow up to high heaven is because the “terrorist” was incompetent.

I wonder: What in the holy heck fire have we been spending our money on these past eight years? Tactics that mean nothing, that do nothing, that cannot possibly under any circumstances ensure our safety?

S.B. says our government is making this shit up as they go along, and he's right. First, it was no shoes. Then no water. Now, what? No going to the bathroom? No blankets? No movies? No iPods? No talking? Tinfoil hats? Spin around three times and dance a jig to keep the Boogeyman at bay? Or is the government going to conscript some "green" scientists into inventing teleportation in the next 2.5 seconds so we won't have to fly at all?

The one thing our government IS mandated to do is stand as a bulwark between us an all enemies foreign and domestic. And guess what? They suck at doing it.

And we want to trust these folks with our health care?

Season's Greetings!

Happy Holidays to all of Moi's blog homies. May your days be Merry and Bright, and may your New Year be happy, healthy, prosperous, and free of government intervention! (and tacky Christmas sweaters . . . ).

The Best Time of the Year

Is right before Christmas, when K9 gifts all her bloggie homies with the most wonderful prezzie of all: her custom-made CD covers. I've been the lucky recipient three years in a row now, and I think this year's is my most fave of all:

Totally rocks!

Mute Monday: Year 2009 in Review

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Thick as a Brick

You know the joke, "There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other." Well, I'm pretty sure it's true, and I pretty much consider fruitcake an insult to the fine art of baking. Like our Congress, the traditional mixture of fruit, cake, and nuts results in something not only freakishly unattractive, but also decidedly unpalatable. Both should be thrown out immediately before someone gets hurt.

However. That does not mean one cannot successfully mix these three elements into a batter and create something not only inoffensive, but also divinely edible.

Seriously. I have done it.

Head on over to the Undaunted Baker and see for yourself.

Looks Like We Ain't Gettin' That Kiss First, Folks

The media's job is to sell Ben Bernanke to the folks around you who aren't paying attention. It's to give a smiling face to the man who's forcing your neighbors' children and grandchildren to slave away in ways they can't even imagine yet. This is Time magazine's job. It's what they're built to do; it's who they are; it's what their goal is.

So, don't worry. Be happy:

Pretty Young Things

Y'all know how I loves me a boot, right? Well, not THESE boots. Get your Bitch on with a discussion about what just may be the fUggliest things ever made, other than Crocs. And then, please, vow to never, ever, purchase a pair as long as you live. Remember, if we all pull together, we can save the world from ugly ass shoes.
