random update

I am about to go on a spree due to being stuck in the airport until 11 p.m. and being forced to watch/listen to MSNBC.  Seriously, I'm about to take out the television with the power of my miiiiiind.

Update: Someone put the NFL Network on instead so now I am ready for some football.  Thank GOD.  It's a Saturnalia miracle!

Why I love my hometown, #2850

Every Christmas there is a nativity scene up in the park behind the City Hall building, and no one in the town has ever been obnoxious enough to call the ACLU about it.

Moonbeam has a change of heart

Former (flaky) Governor and current Attorney General Jerry Brown has apparently reversed his position on supporting the will of the state's voters, who approved Proposition 8, banning gay marriage:

Brown, whose job it is to defend state laws and who earlier said he would support the amendment, argued yesterday that the framers of the state constitution never intended "to put a group's right to enjoy liberty to a popular vote."

The court is expected to hear the case in March.

"Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification," Brown said in a statement.

Um, I'm sorry, Jerry, but until a bare majority of the State Supreme Court recently decided that same-sex couples could be married, they never had the "fundamental constitutional right" to claim that status. It's been tried in the legislature several times, and it's failed.

And now that the issue has been rejected by the people of the state—ironically, through means pressed through by the Progressive movement—you're working against the will of the people of the Bluest of Blue states.

Our California AG is telling us that democracy is fine, I guess, as long as you get your way. Otherwise...

Have you heard about the other preacher at Obama's inaugural?

No?  You haven't?  I guess that's because he's just your average, run of the mill, mainstream church leader who supports gay marriage and gay priests, and not some extremist like Rick Warren.

Don't worry, everything will be better on January 20, 2009 at 12:01pm.

Please, someone explain to me how this isn't an example of someone talking down the economy:

Vice President-Elect Joe Biden said the U.S. economy is in danger of "absolutely tanking" and will need a second stimulus package in the $600-billion to $700-billion range.

"The economy is in much worse shape than we thought it was in," Biden told me during an exclusive interview -- his first since becoming vice president-elect--  to air this Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

But you know what will help it?  Having the Treasury Department print up $1,000,000,000,000+ out of thin air, which will bring inflation to Carter Administration levels, if not worse.  Makes sense to me.

Why You Should Keep Your Father in Law Happy

He just may do this to you.

The son-in-law's arrest followed a tip-off submitted by the father-in-law to the FBI’s website in which the Swede was reported to be “most likely linked to Muslim terror org AQ networks in Sweden and is known to speak about helping Muslim world on US terror.”

The man was arrested by armed guards as his plane touched down in Orlando. He was questioned for several hours and was forbidden from contacting anyone.

In his witness statement to Lund District Court he said he was forced to sit in a cell wearing only shorts and flip-flops. The cell was equipped with just a concrete bed and sackcloth bedclothes and was smeared with blood and faeces, he said. He was released from custody after a day but was forced to return to Sweden, which he said led to his company losing contracts. The arrest also means that he must now apply for a visa before making future visits to the US.

Lund District Court ruled that the father-in-law made the report to the FBI as revenge for what he saw as his son-in-law’s unreasonable behaviour towards his daughter. The couple were undergoing a separation at the time.

Among the reasons he gave for making the report was that his son-in-law enjoyed playing computer war games in which he would take the role of an Arab. He also claimed that he “practically said that the Taliban had the right idea about dealing with women.” The son-in-law denied ever playing war games or making comments about the Taliban and their views on women.

Turbaconducken

Yeah, all I'm good for today is bacon posts.

Bacon Today has a detailed recipe for turbaconducken. And this isn't a 'toss a few strips of bacon on top and call it good' recipe, this is a recipe that will make the pretend-bacon-lovers run screaming.

Why does this twit still have a column?

Because it can't be said often or loudly enough: Fuck you, Kathleen.

(Via Moron Central, where she's appropriately lumped in with another "conservative.")

A Challenge for Morons

How about we have a little fun around this joint? I am proposing a challenge that even a Val-u-Rite vodka, drunken moron can handle.

I think I may have found the most unbelievably stupid item to ever be auctioned on E-Bay. And there are a LOT of gross and unreal things for sale there, y'all.  So who among you can find an item for sale on E-Bay that can top this?

Scarlett Johannson's Snot Rag  Oh noes! (pun intended)

Now put down your bacon and start looking. No slacking allowed. I want to be amused.  Chop, chop!

Somali Pirates Vs Chinese Merchant Ships. Who Ya Got?

Dude.I mean, DUUUUUUUUUUDDDDEE!

The attack occurred a day after Beijing said it was considering sending warships to the area to help battle piracy.

Another picture shows crew members gathered on deck who tried to repel the boarders with water cannon and beer bottles.

Despite their best efforts the nine pirates clambered aboard after tying up alongside. The 30 Chinese crew then locked themselves in their accommodation area -which includes their sleeping rooms, mess rooms and recreation area - to prevent the bandits from entering the ship itself.

The ship's captain, Peng Weiyuan, told Chinese TV that the crew used 'water cannon, self-made incendiary bombs, beer bottles and other missiles to fight the pirates' during the five-hour stand-off.

'Thirty minutes later, the pirates gestured to us for a ceasefire then the helicopters from the joint fleet came to our help.'

Favorite Christmas movies

Which one is your favorite?  I'm actually kind of curious to hear what my Jewish and non-Christian readers (I'm guessing there's at least one or two out of our fifteen or so readers) think of Christmas movies too, or if they have favorites.  I'm a devout watcher of A Christmas Story,

I watch a good bit of the 24-hour TBS marathon every year...sad thing is someone gave me the DVD, and I still watch it on TV.  It's tradition.

Corruption in the United Methodist Chruch

Our friend and fellow moronblogger John (writing at Locusts&Honey) was a candidate to become a minister in the Methodist church...was being the operative word.  John's dismissal was motivated by internal politics, and his refusal to ignore corrupt behavior from his er, superiors.  Drop by and offer a kind word.

Christmas breakfast

I'm thinking Bacon Beef Butter Biscuits will be on the table.  Along with a frittata, a stollen, and a couple of pounds more of bacon because my daughter doesn't really eat much else in the way of meat.

Please share your favorite frou-frou breakfast recipes here - I'm looking for new ideas.

Democrats desperate for excuses to scrap missile defense system

An excuse, any excuse, but they love this "untested" crap line, despite the fact that it's been tested repeatedly and shown to work.

Zamboni FAIL

That's outside the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field, where the Detroit Red Wings will apparently be playing the Chicago Blackhawks in some sort of Canadian-style soccer game on New Year's Day.

(I just posted this because "Zamboni" is a funny word.)
