Liberal Bias? What liberal bias....

Couple of minor things noticed over the last few days, I am pretty sure they don't mean much of anything.. (yeah right)..

1) At N.O. Saints game Monday night, the honorary coin tosser was announced as former president George H. Bush. (think about it a minute..)
2) On one of CNN Headline news' financial reports today, the video segment was labeled, "Lower gas prices are blamed for higher consumer confidence." (ed.; crapitall, now i can't find the link. sorry.)
3) Congratulations, Mr. Clinton. You have officially doomed your wife's presidential candidacy. (see FoxNews interview from Sunday 9/21. What a maroon. I would not have let him tap me, lord only knows where that finger has been.. tee hee)

Wow. Penn & Teller, no less.

What's amusing about this, is that to the best of my knowledge, Penn has absolutely NO love for President Bush and Teller does not have much. This video is straight from their Showtime production called, "Bullshit".

Yup, I'm cleaning up email. How could you tell?

Factoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me
In a month-long span that began Sunday (9/21) in Houston, the Redskins play every team in the AFC South.
In a month-long span beginning Nov. 19 in Tampa, the Redskins play every team in the NFC South.

Tex, this is for you

Dear Allen,
Too Bad You're a Cowboys Fan. I'm Rebelling.
Gnomey


MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) Allen Snyder's garden gnome is still missing, but not forgotten.

The 14-inch tall red and white statue disappeared in the spring from Snyder's yard in Morgantown, West Virginia. Snyder has since received three letters from the gnome.

Gnomey has written home to tell his friend that he's been broadening his travels.

The latest letter, which Snyder received this week, included photos of the gnome in the company of Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Apparently Gnomey attended Pittsburgh's football home opener.

Snyder has no idea who's pulling this prank, but says his short list of suspects includes several gag-loving friends.

The story has even caught the attention of officials at Texas-based online travel agency Travelocity, which uses a roaming gnome in its advertising. Travelocity sent Snyder another gnome to keep him company until his returns home.

hey, at least he's not Flat Stanley.

Fantasy Football Update. (yeah, like I know anything about it.)

Well, I am still in last place in the JACoC league; Eddie Rushing is currently first, with 180 points. I am last with 80-something, however I will pick up a few tonight as I have BOTH Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush on my team. (heh.)

Can you say, "THRASHING?!?!?" I knew you could.
Clue: N.O. 23, ATL 3, 9:22 to go in 4th quarter. I knew this game would be a disaster for Atlanta when the first large play was a blocked punt that NO recovered for a TD, and that was about a minute and a half into the game. Huge. I personally think that Atlanta did not expect N.O. to come out so strong, so fast. N.O. keeps knocking Atlanta's offensive line on their collective asses.
By the way, opening segment for Monday Night Football was absolutely sweet. U2 AND Green Day, along with several N.O. musicians playing along. Beautiful.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Best. Subway Ad. Ever.

New Subway commercial, seen during the thrashing of the Atlanta Falcons by the New Orleans Saints.. (geaux Saints..)

Jon Lovitz, without the smoking jacket, and with a queer little black mooustache..
Subway Daytime Theatre presents Reggie Bush in, "The Rookie".

Teenage boy in football pads and uniform slumps dejectedly on bench in locker room, sighs, "I'll never play."

Reggie walks up, hands the boy a Subway 6" steak sandwich and says, "You just have to stay hungry."

Boy says, "But if I eat this, I won't be hungry anymore."

Reggie and Boy look bemusedly at the camera.

Jon Lovitz SCREAMS, "EAT THE SANDWICH !!!"

SUBWAY, EAT STEAK !!!

laughed my ass off and woke up Princess.

"If it's not too soon for me, then how can it be too soon for you?"

...from Jack Grandcolas, widower of Lauren Grandcolas, passenger on flight 93 who was 3mos pregnant with their first child; regarding movies /media about 9/11...

Glad it's her and not me....

She also needs to find out what causes that... (from FoxNews.com)

You and Me and Baby Makes ... Way Too Many to Count
MINSTER, Ohio (AP)
A western Ohio couple has been dealt a full hand, with three pairs.
John and Jamie Schmiesing of Minster last month welcomed their third set of twins into the world. Including their three other children, the parents now have nine kids all under the age of seven.
Jamie Schmiesing says she and her husband always wanted a big family. Now, they're experiencing the joys as well as the challenges, including making meals for eleven and getting everyone in place in their 15-passenger van when they all go out together.
Schmiesing says their story has attracted media attention, and she's hoping Oprah will call soon and offer her a needed day out and a makeover.

No shit. If anyone needs a vacation, it's this chick. Oy.

I heart math. Not (update).

Well, my grade in this particular math class will be a D. Maybe. My classwork has run a C- or so, however this fargin' little Aleks pie thingie will seriously drag my grade down.
59 items mastered out of 109 total, about half of which I have NEVER FARGIN' SEEN. EVER.
Spoke to a (former schoolteacher) friend who tutors 5th thru 8th grade kids on everything from math to English to Social Studies &etc., she agreed with me that a great deal of this stuff was not in the algebra books I remember. And I am not anywhere close to the worst one.
I reeeally hope my teacher is in a good mood on Thursday because we are all gonna suck on the final exam.

BWAHAHAHAHA....

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.
****************************************
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.


Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).


According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know.

And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, I want you to learn my language so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America....
If you agree, pass it on (in English ! ). If not, just blow it off along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things...
