Laura Ingraham has some strange priorities

But then again, I think she always has.  After getting back on the air, you'd think she'd want to get to some real news. 

Nah.  Decrying the fact that some boys in America want to have long hair, not short hair.

Update: I don't have TV, so I forgot she had a show on Fox News.  Woops!  I was talking about her radio show.

And by "responsibly," I mean maybe you shouldn't try to kill that pesky liver of yours in one sitting:

A Florida man died Tuesday after taking more than two dozen shots of cherry vodka within a half hour, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office.

"We have witnesses that have described the victim as taking anywhere from 23 to 25 shots in 30 minutes," Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway told ABCNEWS.com.

See, it's important to pace yourself.

Eric Morris, 26, was allegedly taking part in a drinking game with another patron at an adult nightclub, Angels Show Bar, in Seffner, Fla., just hours before he died, according to police.

"Apparently [other bar patrons] were describing the shots as 'cherry bombs,'" said Callaway, referring to a shot of liquor that is typically made by combining cherry-flavored vodka with Red Bull, a popular energy drink.

While Morris' drinking buddy, who police declined to identify, stopped playing the game after a few shots, Morris kept going.

While I've always said that nobody ever truly wins a drinking game, your honor is safe when your opponent forfeits. Really.

"Witnesses told us that the bartender kept setting up glasses of shots for [Morris] and then for whatever reason decided at shot glass 24 or 25 that she wasn't going to serve him anymore," Callaway said.

Well, that's good. As a professional, you've got to recognize when someone's reached his or her limit.  When they stagger away from the bar and die, that's always a pretty good indication.

Hmm, maybe I should make an auto-filter at doubleplusundead that replaces American Family Association with EPIC FAIL

I saw this a week ago, but it was only on a dirtbag nutroots site, so I held off, but now everyone else has it, so I'm posting it.  The AFA's news site had an auto-replace filter that replaced the word "gay" with the word "homosexual."  Hilarity ensued when sprinter Tyson Gay began racing qualifying sprints for the 100 meter Olympic games.

The Thrill Of Victory, The Agony Of EPIC FAIL, Runners Edition.

I love to run for exercise. When I get the opportunity, I try to squeeze in a quick 5 or 10k run for the hell of it. I am not great at it, but I am impressed that my fat ass can do 5k charity runs at or slightly under 18 minutes.

What does annoy me are those people who take it WAAAYYY too seriously. I swear, these folks are out there EVERY day, and they sneer at me on the trails if I tap out at 7k. Well, I now have a few snooty retorts back to them beyond the always mature, "f&ck you, loser."

First, at least I run outdoors and not on a fucking treadmill in the window of a shoe store in an effort to set the "World Record" for a marathon on a treadmill. Better yet, I don't FAIL just meters away from the end, which is what Michael Wardian did.

Wardian ran 2:09:15 through 24 miles (a pace of 5:23 per mile), almost 30 seconds ahead of world record pace. Wardian slowed on the 25th mile, running a 5:40 mile, then inexplicably shut the treadmill off with just over a mile to go. He apparently thought he had finished the 26.2 mile marathon.

After being told there was still over a mile to go, Wardian increased the treadmill speed back up to run the last 1.2 miles. At that point, he began to stagger and was having trouble keeping his footing. At 25.9 miles he stopped the treadmill and collapsed. His time at 25.9 miles was 2:22:35. He was .3 miles short of finishing the marathon.

And here is the loser on the treadmill in the store. (Courtesy Pacers Sporting Goods and a bunch of other people)


But Wardian was not the only runner with whom THE FAIL was strong. Consider the plight of the Seattle area runners who missed the shuttle bus to the start of the Seafair Marathon and were unable to compete.

About 400 runners, including some who organizers say spent months training for Sunday's Seafair Marathon, missed shuttle buses to the starting line and didn't start the race, even though it was delayed by 15 minutes after organizers realized there was a transportation problem.

The buses, paid for by Seafair, began transporting runners from Bellevue Downtown Park to the Husky Stadium starting line at 5 a.m. Organizers scheduled 30 First Student school buses to make four trips each with a capacity of about 50 people, Seafair spokesman Dan Wartelle said.

The marathon's Web site "strongly recommended" runners arrive early for the 15-minute shuttle. But more people than expected arrived for later buses and the final 6:45 a.m. shuttle.

Ha! Now I can sneer at runners knowing full well I at least know where to be and when to be there.

Rep. Don Young picks up a major retarded endorsement

Yes, one of the biggest kleptocrats in the House has received an endorsement from another person on my Least Favorite Republicans list: Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Make sure to go to that link and read the comments.  There has been so much outrage that he has had to post an update to his initial announcement.  Classic Huckafail. 

Exit question: Did Huck endorse Young because he actually believes in the Congressman or because he wants to beat Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who was endorsed by the Club for Growth Greed, in the GOP primary?

You can contribute to Parnell's campaign here.
