Something to ponder on Memorial Day

There is some controversy over who penned these words, but they're commonly attributed to a Chaplain named Dennis (or Denis) Edward O'Brien:

It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

It actually may have been written by one Charles M. Province. Whoever is the actual author, it's true.

What's the backyard equivalent of razorburn?

I'm not even sure whether this is SFW or not.

Saginaw is humiliated

They don't call it the Ultimate Vacuum for nothing.

Jason L. Savage brought national, night-time jokester humiliation and worldwide embarrassment to the Great Lakes Bay Region by having sex with a vacuum hose in a Thomas Township car wash, Saginaw County Circuit Judge Fred L. Borchard said while scolding him at his sentencing Wednesday.

Those car wash vacuum hoses are really big. I wonder why he couldn't use the hose from his home vacuum?

Another role model falls

This time, it's one of alexthechick's role models.

(No, alex, there are no scary clowns at that link.  Well, OK, there's a scary clown, but not the kind of scary clown you're afraid of.)

Yes, really. Oh, BTW, in case the title didn't warn you, this is a little NSFW.

I would have resisted arrest too

...if I was being picked up on an Army desertion warrant and was wearing thong underwear.  I should restate that.  If I was a dude being picked up on an Army desertion warrant and was wearing women's thong underwear.

FrankJ has a point

This may be the best argument I've seen against legalizing marijuana:

...but since it will make hippies happy, I’m against it.

So who are the 4 percent?

I was listening to Hannity's Man on the Street last Friday and chuckling over the repeated dead air when the victims were asked, "Do you know what a Blagovejich is?" I was guessing that these people lived nowhere near Illinois, especially since the only person who answered correctly was admittedly drunk. I think I was wrong.

Most polls had the governor's approval rating in the low two digits, from 16% to about 25%, but a recent survey had Blago (as the Illinois public has grown to call him, unflatteringly) at an incredible subbasement-level 4%.

So who the hell are the four percent of Illinoisans that still approve of Blago?  Is "He's a four-percenter" going to be the new label for someone who is so far into idjitdom that it's beyond even moron comprehension?  Have they started polling lockdown dementia patients after sunset for approval ratings?  Instead of asking, "WTF is wrong with Wisconsin?", will we soon be asking,  "WTF is wrong with four percent of Illinois?"

All terrorists should be allowed to retain their dignity

At least as much as these guys.

Possibly the only thing more suiting their station in life would be to cover their faces with a pair of Excitable Andi's skidmarked underwear.

In my Christmas stocking I want, part 5

Nativity ducks.

A word of warning, this might be the least offensive item at MissPoppy's if you're very religious at all. If you're very not religious, and have a smoker in your life that you're struggling to find a gift for, this might be appropriate.

Oh, and did I mention they offer free APO/FPO shipping for the holidays?
