Quote Of The Day

This quote I read over at Cave of the Curmudgeon:
"The ACLU has become an advocate of themselves, only occasionally fighting for real civil liberties. (Restricting speech among their board members, suing Los Angeles County to remove a tiny cross from their seal, and supporting the North American Man/Boy Love Association) are not quality examples of their claimed mission.) It would be a good thing if half the trial lawyers would cease their frivolous lawsuits and establish a real ACLU, but they would first need ethical bypass operations."
I couldn't agree more.

So It's Not Just Republicans?

U.S. must stay until Iraq forces ready: Iraqi leader :

U.S.-led forces should only withdraw from Iraq when local security forces are able to maintain order on their own, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said in a newspaper interview published on Tuesday.
[...]
What?!?!? You mean to tell me Iraqi's are actually welcoming our help over there?
I'm shocked. Aghast even.

Evidently, it is only the anti-Bush gang who think we should leave.
I can't wait to see how they spin that one.

A Funny

Via email:

A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley."

The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, why are! you crying?"

"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party!"




Yup, I'm Back!

Helllooooooooo!!!!!

So who or what deserves the prestigious finger this week?

So - that rap, or hip-hop, or whatever the hell you want to call it, "music" (sort of like Kool-aid is Dom Perignon), gets the big "FUCK OFF"!
There is too much good music out there to listen to that nasty shit.

Thanks Guy K.

Looky There! Another Funny!

Don't ever ask a tree hugger what he's doing! While walking through the Boulder Colorado woods a man came upon another man hugging a tree with his ear firmly against the tree. Seeing this he inquired,
"Just out of curiosity, what the heck are you doing?

"I'm listening to the music of the tree," the other man replied.

"You gotta be kiddin' me."

"No, would you like to give it a try?" Understandably curious, the man Says, "Well, OK..." So he wrapped his arms around the tree and pressed his ear against it. With this the other guy, slapped a pair of handcuffs on him, took his wallet, jewelry, car keys, then stripped him naked and left. Two hours later another nature lover strolled by, saw this guy handcuffed to the tree stark naked, and asked, "What the hell happened to you?"

He told the guy the whole terrible story about how he got there When he finished telling his story, the other guy shook his head in sympathy, walked around behind him, kissed him gently behind the ear and said, "Man, this just ain't gonna be your day, Cupcake."




A Fable

So apparently, back in the day, there was an escaped slave who somehow managed to come upon a lion who had a thorn stuck in its paw.
The lion, rather than attack the slave, instead presented the sore and swollen paw to the slave. The slave took a look at the paw and seeing that it was all sore and swollen, commenced to pluck out the thorn.
Well, the lion was ever so grateful, and never forgot the kind deed.

Which, would be an ever better story if you substitue a "husband" for "lion", "wife" for "slave", "ass crack" for "paw", and "zit" for "thorn".

Just sayin' is all.

Via email:
Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual act s are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9 Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas).

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on t he way out. I also appre ciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!

13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on thei r hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus, Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?

What a guy!!

Also, please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail.

On top of that, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?).

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that?

WE DO!

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York. Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Servic e agents.

The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal!

Fuck Off Friday

Okay, I've decided to start a new tradition around here. And I'm going to call it "Fuck Off Friday".

In my industry, Fuck Off Friday - or FOF - is usually reserved for deadwork. In other words, there's work to be done, but no major system changes or installs are made the day before the weekend. Why? Because invariably, something unforeseen goes wrong and you spend your weekend - or at least a portion of it - fixing it. This is something I don't like to do.

But in my little semi-anonymous corner of the blog world, FOF will be akin to the "Steaming Pile Of Shit" awards I tend to dish out. It will be little passive-aggressive way of letting someone know my opinion of them.

So with that, here is the first installment of "Fuck Off Friday":

North Korea

So Lil' Kim whipped out his dick and said "Check this shit!"

The speculation is rampant, but here are a couple thoughts I had:
So what's next, another 'Police Action' in Korea a la 1950? The stakes would be slightly higher this time.

America and various other world leaders - not to mention the U.N. - are pretty much on the same wavelength as of now. North Korea was warned about testing and went ahead and did it anyway. Sanctions? That may be a start, but it won't do any good unless a few countries other than the U.S. are in agreement.

And how about Iran now? They may be just a little braver (defiant?) too. They've been itching to prove their dick is as big as everyone else's atomically speaking. What's to stop them, unless world leaders show them what repurcussions are in store by demonstrating on North Korea?

The leaders of North Korea are inhumane opressors. The soldiers have committed to dying for their corrupt government, and the citizens are basically starving, destitute prisoners. We may as well nuke them into oblivion. Get rid of a world threat and save them from their own government and leaders at the same time.

Uh Yeah

Ah, The Theatre


Damn Global Warming

So back in May, we see this:
'Very active' hurricane season ahead

This year's north Atlantic hurricane season will be "very active," spawning eight to 10 hurricanes, the U.S.-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday.

NOAA's outlook, published on its website, predicts:

  • There will likely be 13 to 16 named storms, including tropical storms and hurricanes, compared with the 11 named storms seen in an average season.
  • Eight to 10 of this year's named storms will become hurricanes, meaning they will have sustained winds of at least 119 km/h, compared with the annual average of six.
  • Four to six of the hurricanes will reach an intensity of at least Category 3, with sustained winds of at least 178 km/h, though on average each season experiences only two.
[...]

But then from the same source a couple days ago, we see this:
No intense hurricanes this year, forecaster predicts

American hurricane expert William Gray has again downgraded his forecast for the 2006 Atlantic storm season, predicting one more hurricane and two more named storms but no intense hurricanes.

The new report released Tuesday calls for a hurricane season that is significantly calmer than those seen in recent years, with a total of six hurricanes among the 2006 season's 11 named storm systems.

FBI raids Calif. firms in spinach probe:

By PAUL ELIAS, Associated Press Writer Thu Oct 5, 5:52 AM ET

SAN JUAN BAUTISTA, Calif. - The ongoing probe into the source of a nationwide E. coli outbreak linked to tainted spinach turned into a criminal investigation as federal agents raided two Salinas Valley produce companies.
[...]
E. coli is a bacteria which can be found basically anywhere. But definitely as a result of uncleanliness.
See, what's going on here is we've gone and pissed off the illegal immigrants picking the spinach. They're taking up the spinach, using it to wipe their ass, then bagging it up and shipping it off for use to eat.

BUILD THE FUCKING WALL ALREADY!

Word To The Wise

DO NOT eat a heaping helping of Hormel chili right before bedtime.
Oh, I was fine all night. No "Dutch Ovens" for Mrs Curmudgeon, but this morning? Totally different story. I am, and those who may follow me down the hallowed halls of [where I work] are, still paying.

But, that reminds me of a story.
In the small town where I grew up, there was a four-way intersection in the middle of town, which on the northwest corner sat the elementary school, on the northeast corner sat the high school, and on the southeast corner sat the Jr. High. On the southwest corner was a little store named "The School Store" which was basically just a small convenience store centrally located to, and serving patrons from all three of the schools. There was no 7-Eleven type store in the town.
This little store had a vast array of candy, soda pops, "Stewart's Sandwiches" (remember those?), burgers, fries, chicken pot pies and chili.
Oh yes, chili.

One of my best friends' parents ended buying the "School Store" and running it. For him, it was like he had hit the lotto. He, all of a sudden had all sorts of new friends, was one of the first chosen for a team in p.e. and so on.
Of course to a pre-teen, a friend owning a candy store was like us hitting the lotto. Us 'old' friends all had visions of all the free candy and soda pop we could possibly gag down.
Well, it didn't quite work out that way, as his parents quite firmly told us there was to be no freebies or they would lose all their profit. We of course were bummed, but hey. We were old friends so life from there continued on as normal.

Except for the chili.

A few of us old friends asked if we could work at the little store, maybe make a little spending money. We were told that the profit margin was so slim they couldn't afford to pay us any cash, but every day we worked, we could have lunch there for free. That wasn't such a bad deal - free lunch at the school store, rather than school lunch in the school cafeteria. Maybe not as healthy, but certainly better tasting than the slop in the school cafeteria.

One day while working at the store, my friend and I decided we would have a sleep-over at his house the following friday. And we would also have chili for lunch. Two bowls. That way, later on friday night, we could have a farting contest. Not that there were any real prizes, it was more the pleasure of seeing who would have to leave the room first.

So friday rolls around, we work the lunchtime rush at the school store, commence to consuming our free lunch of chili, and go on our way back to school for the afternoon.
Not wanting to lose our ammo from the lunchtime portion of chili, we decide to have another bowl for dinner. Get a nice supply of ammo built up for the upcoming contest. We of course, knew no better.

Well we - like typical adolescent boys, are farting, gagging, laughing, and generally having a good ole' time for the better part of the night. Of course, the guts are acing from the gaseous buildup and the rumbling from the laughter, but we pay it no mind. There are worlds to conquer here.
The night wears on, when around 2:30 in the a.m. his sister comes home from her date. She peeks her head in the room to see what all the laughing and other racket is in there, and ... oh you should have seen the look on her face.
Her nose wrinkles. Her eyebrows scrunch. Her diamphragm twitches (no, not that one, the other one.) the gag reflex spasms, and she manages barely to exhale a raspy "WHAT STINKS?!?!".
We of course, with our innocent little faces, replied "I duuunnnoooo??". Until we can't contain ourselves any longer, and bust out laughing.

We never did admit to what was causing the odiferous haze exuding from the cracked doorway, but she never checked on us again without us coming out of the room first.

This Sucks

Here's the deal - I have a toothpick dispenser on my desk. This one:



Whoever runs quality control at the toothpick factory was slacking one particular day; the day they made the box of toothpicks I currently have in my dispenser, as the outside diameter of these toothpicks is slightly larger than the inside diameter of the slot in the 'action' of the dispenser.
Sometimes the toothpicks get stuck in the slot and refuse to eject themselves without human intervention.
I'm going to have to sit here and sand every one of these damn things now in order to make them work properly in my dispenser.

DA BEARS!

I'm not that much of a football fan, but Mrs. Curmudgeon has been a Bears fan for years (she grew up in Joliet). And she's not just a fair-weather fan. She likes them even when they're down. So by default, I guess the Bears became my team too.
Anyway, I watched them kick Seattle's ass (one of last year's superbowl contenders) yesterday. They played quite well and are now 4-0 for he season. Maybe they'll be on the teevee more the rest of the year.
