Barack Obama on SNL last night!

Duluth residents appear to have another choice in the upcoming mayoral race - that is, if they're willing to vote for a 30-year-old blue felt puppet. Mr. nice...

For a state that has had a wrestler for Governor and a self proclaimed vampire running for office, I think Mr. Nice may have a chance!

Since all my friends and relatives are "weird" I guess I'll never be an uncle again! How about we neuter retired horny game show hosts also?

Bad jokes from sis...

One day, two rednecks named Bubba and Earl were driving down the road,
drinking a couple of Buds. The passenger, Bubba, said "Lookey thar up
ahead
Earl, it's a po-leece roadblock! We're gonna get busted fer drinkin'
these
here beers!"

"Don't worry Bubba," Earl said. "We'll just pull over and finish
drinkin'
these beers, peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads, then
throw
the bottles under the seat."

"What fer?" asked Bubba.

"Just let me do the talkin', okay?" said Earl. They finished their
beers,
threw the empty bottles under the seat and slapped the labels on their
foreheads.

When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff said, "Have you boys been
drinking?"

"No sir," said Earl, "we're on the patch."

Homeland Security trumps God

Homeland Security trumps God: "Caught between immigration regulations and church rules, a British nun is forced to leave the Twin Cities as the Department of Homeland Security cracks down on religious visas."

The nun a terrorist, the nun is a terrorist, your a terrorist I'm a terrorist don't you want to be a terrorist too. The biggest terrorist in the world is George Bush... go figure!

Colbert for President! (for real) - Indecision 2008

Colbert for President! (for real) - Indecision 2008: "He has to win! He is Stephen T. Colbert in other words he is STC!!! Sexually Transmitted Courage!!!!!!"

It's about time we had someone calling the shots with a sense of humor, a working knowledge of the English language, and an accurate recollection of American history. If only we can get Colbert to take this seriously, we may stand a chance of getting this country back on its feet and moving in the right direction after 7 years of incalculable stupidity! PUT COLBERT ON THE BALLOT IN EVERY STATE!! It's a grass roots movement! It's a mission from God! It's FATE- so don't shirk your duty, Stephen! YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!!!

Does he stand a chance of getting even that one convention delegate that he wants? I don't know but it will be fun too watch!

VinylDisc hybrid plays on turntables or optical drives - Boing Boing: "German manufacturers Optimal Media Production claim that their new VinylDisc is a hybrid CD/vinyl album that will play in an optical drive or on a turntable: 'The VinylDisc is a combination audio CD and special record. It consists of two attached layers. The silver layer contains digital audio information, while the black upper layer can be played on every record player.'"

This is the best of both worlds! I can finally pull that old record player from the garage (see honey I told you there was a reason to keep it!). You can get the classic hiss and pops and flip it over to get the clear but somehow lacking digital fixed sound!

Death sentence for leaving 5-year-old to be eaten by gators -- OrlandoSentinel.com

Death sentence for leaving 5-year-old to be eaten by gators -- OrlandoSentinel.com: "MIAMI - A judge sentenced a man to death Monday, nearly nine years after he left a 5-year-old girl to be eaten alive by alligators in the Everglades and tried to kill her mother."

A fitting punishment/death would to leave him chained in an alligator pit... I'm not a supporter of the death sentence but their are extreme cases in which redemption does not seem possible (like this one) that a quick death would save heart ache and pain (not to mention taxpayer $$$) for all.

Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) has refused to leave office, even after a judge in Minnesota left Craig's sex-sting guilty plea intact. Craig says he will fight to clear his name and retain his seat in the Senate. In Idaho, residents have mixed reactions about the drama surrounding their senator.

The crowded airport bathroom where Sen. Larry Craig was arrested is about to become an even less-inviting place for a rendezvous.

Airport officials plan to put in new stall dividers just 2 to 3 inches above the floor, instead of as much as a foot now. The new dividers will go in two bathrooms where the airport has had complaints about sex, including the one where Craig was arrested.

The one good thing of all this, is that the next time I go to the MSP airport bathroom I don't have to worry about guys with wide stances! They all will be just hanging out in the sink area now!(So much for washing my hands after going to the bathroom)

Next time a gentleman offers his hand, keep this in mind: One-third of men don't wash their hands after using the restroom.

Not only that, if he tells you he washed his hands, he may not be telling the truth.

This is revealed in results of the latest Hand Washing Survey, released Monday at a scientific meeting in Chicago by the American Society for Microbiology and the Soap and Detergent Association. The survey found that although 89% of men claim in a telephone poll to wash their hands every time they use a public bathroom, only 66% were seen doing so.

Carrie, Nikki and I went to the Renaissance Festival this last Sunday, we should have brought a boat. Heavy rain was sporadic all day long, it was fun. Can you say turkey drumsticks... yum!

The Sun Online - Film First: Quentin wants to direct porno

The Sun Online - Film First: Quentin wants to direct porno: "CULT filmmaker QUENTIN TARANTINO has admitted he would love to direct a PORN FILM. And it would feature lots of 'kind of kinky sex' - because that's what turns him on. The Pulp Fiction director is a big fan of 1970's European soft-core sex films and says he can't wait to make a modern day version. He says: 'If I actually do an erotic movie, I'm going to have to reveal what I find sexy, what turns me on."

Thats going to be a little scary, finding out what turns a brilliant but very demented (in a good way?) person on. Thigh high high heal boots and whips of licorice are my bets!

The Sun Online - News: Sister locked up and forgotten

The Sun Online - News: Sister locked up and forgotten: "Sister locked up and forgotten"

A WOMAN was locked up and “lost” for 70 years after being wrongly accused of stealing 13p.

Jean Gambell, 85, was “certified” indefinitely in 1937 over claims she had taken the cash while cleaning at a doctor’s surgery.

The money was found — but Jean still spent 70 years in a maze of care institutions.

To be "LOST" for seventy years... Yes this happened in England, there is something about Europe where old people are lost/forgotten. If you look at past posts there are a few about dead people remaining in there homes/apartments for years with no one the wiser!

Her dad was a drunk
Her mom was an addict
Her parents kept her
Locked in an attic
Her only friend
was a little toy bear
It was old and worn out
And had patches of hair
She always talked to it
When no one's around
She lays there and hugs it
Not a peep of sound
Until her parents
unlock the door
Some more and more pain
She'll have to endore
A bruise on her leg
A scar on her face
Why would she be
In such a horrible place?
But she grabs her bear
And softly crys
She loves her parents
But they want her to die
She sits in the corner
Quiet but thinking,
"Please God, why is
My life always sinking?"
Such a bad life
For a sad little kid
She'd get beaten and beaten
For anything she did
Then one night
Her mom came home high
And the poor child was beaten
As hours went by
Then her mom suddenly
Grabbed for a blade
It was sharp and pointy
One that she made
She thrusted the blade
Right in her chest,
"You deserve to die
You worthless piece of shit!"
The mom walked out
Leaving the girl slowly dying
She grabbed her bear
And again started crying
Police showed up
At the small little house
Then quickly barged in
Everything quiet as a mouse
One officer slowly
Opened a door
To find the little girl
Lying dead on the floor
It must have been bad
To go through so much harm
But at least she died
With her best friend in her arms
A child dies every day from child abuse.
