Odd conversation of the day

Mrs. N:  How old is (Vintage) today?

It's Vintage, Mom:  He's 27. 

Mrs. N:  Wow.  By the time I was 27 I had 3 kids, and one had already died.

I just can't stack up against anyone.

Does this mean anything to you?

I live in a fairly conservative part of Los Angeles County (yeah, really, we exist) and I've noticed a distinct lack of yard signs around here.  There's one house on my block with a yes on prop 8 (the ballot measure that would ban gay marriage) sign, but that's it.  There are a few McCain-Palin signs on the surrounding streets, but no Obama signs whatsoever. 

I've also noticed while driving around town that there are very few cars with political bumper stickers this year.  Again, a few McCain-Palin stickers here and there, and absolutely no Obama stickers.  Not even on cars driven by younger people.

Any thoughts?

Daffy Duck Donates Dollars to Democrats

Hollywood superstar Daffy Duck today confirmed reports that he had donated thousands of dollars to various Democratic candidates, and said that in his estimates nine out of ten cartoon stars support Barack Obama for president.
 
"Everybody I know is hoping for Obama to win it," said Mr. Duck.  "That's why cartoon stars as diverse as Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat have come together to support him.  Even Popeye, like most other members of the cartoon military, is voting Obama this year."
 
Like many early cartoon stars, Mr. Duck has seen his box-office appeal slump in recent years as computer-generated cartoons manufactured overseas have come to dominate the industry.  "Obama will change that, though," Duck said.  "He supports tariffs on studios that do cartooning outside the US, to help us regain our competitive edge.  I've urged all my friends to do everything they can to help him get elected.  That's why I've been so pleased to see that they all show up on his donor list, even Doctor Feelgood, who I had thought was strongly apolitical."
 
"And it's not just Obama, either," Mr. Duck continued.  "We're contributing to those down-the-line Democrats as well, including one of our own, the cartoonish Al Franken."
 
Support for the Democrats was far from universal, though.  Perhaps the most famous holdout is Bugs Bunny's foil, Elmer Fudd, who is also president of the National Animated Rifle Association.  Fudd, who like most 70-year-olds now suffers from early-onset dementia and a severe speech impediment, said in a statement that "we must be vewy, vewy, qwuiet, because I'm hunting wabbits."

I Know What You're Thinking

But no, it isn't because she was shot on sight:

The Buffalo woman whose infant son became ill on crack cocaine and opiates at a party almost five months ago was spared a jail term Tuesday.

City Judge Joseph A. Fiorella orderedMarceia D. Dixon, 20, to submit to unannounced drug testing and warrantless searches of her new home while she is on probation for the next year. In sparing her a jail term, he said he was impressed with her “evidence of remorse” and her willingness to turn her life around.

Fiorella imposed the maximum- allowable probation for her Aug. 18 plea to a charge of attempted child endangerment for the June 6 incident at a Grider Street party.

The judge also ordered her to submit to City Court’s drug court program to overcome her “issues with marijuana,” maintain the job she recently obtained and get her high school equivalency diploma. He also fined her $160.

What about overcoming her issue with... I don't know... fucking crack?  And I paid more than that for a speeding ticket. 

Exit Question:  Why couldn't someone like Ashley "WEE" Todd have eaten a little more crack as a child?

Report: Police saying Todd lied

Police sources are saying she confessed, and will be brought up on charges.  I noted my skepticism yesterday, something just didn't smell right to me.  Admittedly I was running on gut instinct.  That was my initial reaction, but I think the picture sealed it for me. 

The fact that the B wasn't so much carved, as scratched, the fact that she said it was a large knife rang alarms, but something about it felt off.  I think it was the way her eyes and mouth looked.  When you've been beaten up, you have a very sad, sullen look on your face.  I don't see that in the photo.

In any case, this whole incident is unfortunate, lying and fabricating events is a grave injustice to those who are legitimate victims, because it can breed skepticism and more intense scrutiny.  Obviously, this girl is in need of psychiatric attention first and foremost, and after that, if she's fit for trial, to trial she must go.

I'm still trying to calculate a guess as to what the political fallout is going to be, if anything.  The accusations of race-baiting are going to fly, if they haven't started already.

It looks like I may (I repeat: may) have been was wrong

Ashley Todd's story is starting to unravel totally made up. 

Why was I so quick to side with her so unequivocally?  I have a friend who travels around the country inspecting power plants (or something like that).  One morning, after working a night shift he came back to his hotel, and someone was waiting for him.  He was raped at knife point.  Afterward, he told me that he just went on like nothing had happened for two days.

By the time that he came to grips with what happened and sought medical attention and the police, it was too late.  The security tapes had been taped over and the man was never found. 

He said that, for several reasons (including his sexuality), a lot of people didn't believe him. 

So I guess I personalized it a bit too much. 

P.S. - I did check with him before writing and he said it was fine, so long as I made sure to also say that he's doing a lot better now. 

P.S.S. - Sorry this post was such a downer.  I'll make up for it later, I promise!

Listen to Teh Fred

I know, preaching to the choir and all, but maybe you could share it with a few fence-sitters.

"It doesn't have to happen"

This may be the one and only time that I agree with Joey Plugs.  Get out there and do whatever you can to prevent this fraud of a lie wrapped in a sham from stealing the White House.  We have to do this.

I don't know what Allahpundit sees in KP

Seeing as how she's apparently had a talking to from her Democrat superiors, my balls want nothing to do with this column. Nothing at all.

Yes, Its This Guy Again

I say we give him the $54 million in pennies from  2000 feet of altitude:

A former administrative law judge who unsuccessfully sued a dry cleaner for $54 million over a pair of lost pants tried to convince an appeals panel Wednesday that he deserves the money because he is a fraud victim.

"This is not a case about a pair of suit pants," Roy L. Pearson argued before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Rather, it is about whether the owners of a neighborhood business misled consumers with a sign that claimed "Satisfaction Guaranteed," he said.

"There is an unconditional guarantee," he argued, unless the merchant indicates otherwise.

I think I should sue him for mental distress.  The damage caused by his existence to my world-view and psyche is worth at least $20,000,000.  I could use that money to pay for therapy after Obama wins. 

Of course, I'll have my own type of therapy in the form of  my much-anticipated "Things That Are Obama's Fault Today" series.

Remember Crystal Mangum?

She's the one who tried to ruin the lives of six lacrosse players at Duke University. 

She's writing a memoir.  I'll have to be sure to pick that up, if only to see all the grammatical errors.  Can you imagine how unintentionally funny it will be?

It's entitled “The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story," but I'll accept alternate titles in the comment section.

Moron of the Day: A Day at the Museum

Did you know that the Field Museum in Chicago allowed after-hours private parties for college students? I didn't but I'm glad they do:

Students of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management reportedly got drunk, vomited on the floor, spit at people, passed out and threw things at Sue herself.

"There was definitely some inappropriate behavior that occurred at the event,'' said Northwestern spokesman Al Cubbage.

In an e-mail reprimand to her fellow students, Andrea Hanson, a vice president of the Kellogg Student Association, called the Sept. 26 party "an embarrassment.''

Hanson declined to elaborate Thursday, but in the e-mail to classmates she described how drunken students -- "already too overserved" -- forced the Field Museum to shut down the open bar to try to calm the situation.

Students smuggled in alcohol -- filling trash cans with empty bottles -- and some students "passed out in high-traffic areas,'' wrote Hanson, adding that "students were throwing things at a historic artifact: Sue, the Tyrannosaurus rex, which the Field Museum purchased for over $8.3 million.''

Reportedly, they won't be allowed to return without "Breathalyzers, high security, and chaperones."

Stay classy, Kellogg School of Management!

Philly Phights Terrorism Phairly Phoolishly

Especially when it comes to the trial of the Ft. Dix terrorists.

Thirteen of the 18 jurors and alternates wore clothing or buttons betraying their support for the Philadelphia Phillies.

The attorneys, judge and spectators laughed.

Your Daily Dose Of WTF, College Football Edition

Huh?

Apparently, without much going on, the Westboro Baptist Cult is going to picket the Oklahoma vs. Kansas State football game this weekend. If it wasn't on their hate-site, I would have thought it was a joke.

From their hate-site:
10/25/2008, 09:30 am-11:30 am: Bill Snyder Family Stadium - K-State Football LOSERS! Kimball & College

We will picket your stinking, rotten awful football game. You guys are not good football players, I'm just saying. And that is because you try to throw that ball with limp wrists. More importantly you got those limp wrists from your Living God as a curse because you refuse to obey. Here was the promise from God, and they are good as gold. We are seeing with our eyes, each day more and more that when Our God determines to curse a land, He does it with great panache. Check this out, this is the promise made to our forefathers: Deuteronomy 11:26 ¶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. 29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? 31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. 32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day. Worshipping your goofy false gods got you in this mess - so we will gleefully stand and observe you play the part that you so desperately determined to play, i.e. the fool. And God will laugh you to scorn (Psalm 2) as you bellow and bawl about getting your backsides spanked both on and off the football field. God Hates Kansas State; God Hates Kansas; God Hates america and america is Doomed. AMEN!

"I want a true leader"

In this video, a bunch of "life-long Republicans" (and one life-long independent) explain why they're abandoning their life-long principles and are voting for the most socialist, least experienced candidate probably ever to run for the highest office in this country.  Not to mention of the Free World.  Note that none of these foax has anything much to say about how they've been "life-long" advocates of conservative policies, but they're suddenly fans of a socialist who wants to "spread" their wealth.  Funny, that.

(Via...well, a site I used to frequent. I'm not gonna link it.  Let's call it "Light Drinking.")

Bacon gumballs!

Bacon gumballs!  Maybe everything doesn't suck after all. 

Well, everything probably does suck and we're all going to die destitute in the gutter (well, the lucky ones, anyway) if Captain Bullshit manages to win steal the election, but someone out there is apparently looking out for us.
