Now they have superheroes on their side.
Lou Ferrigno is now a county sheriff’s deputy.
I can’t imagine the poor bastard that goes up against him trying to evade arrest. Not good, I’m thinking.
You just don’t want to make this guy mad. You wouldn’t like him when he’s mad.
My body hurts.
Cael’s party is tonight.
Shopping left to do: check.
Cake to pick up? Yep.
Work? Nuts.
But knowing that this nutjob is getting a hard time because of his ridiculous comments makes me smile…
Pat Robertson tries to save Jesusland after Sharon jibe
I’m hoping that “Jesusland” is a satirical nickname and not the proposed name for the park. What’s next? Souvenir “crown of thorns” instead of Mickey Mouse ears? It’s hard to take seriously, isn’t it? I’m already way past the line I know, Nikki may have words with me, but will the “rides” include “Excellent Walk on Water” and the popular “Part the Red Sea” aquarium? (I know that was Moses, I just don’t have a lot of material handy here, I’m a heathen, ok?)
Oh man. I vented for a minute there, but I’m back now.
*** Update: It seems that Mr. Robertson (likely due to pressure from his lawyer and his financial advisors) is paddling for distance from this statement. It’s all well and good to be preachy, but when it hurts his financial statements, it’s probably better to swallow the pride.
A cheap one here, but these pictures are too good not to share. Stole this from Metafilter.
What kind of scares me is that this guy just seems to be making it up as he goes along. Then he gets caught in an attempt like this one to be authoritative and gumpy and the facade cracks right away, check out his expression when he’s trying to open the doors, it’s like he’s mocking himself on a sitcom. Is there a serious bone in his body? It’s scary to know how flippant he is and then think of some of the decisions he has made.
Locked doors thwart Bush’s bid to duck question – Yahoo! News
The urban sprawl continues, of which I am a part of course, having built a home in the ‘burbs. That’s inevitable I suppose. But the thing that gets me is the big-box stores. Especially Wal-Mart. Whatever you believe about its effects on the economy, and workers, there’s just no denying that those stores are just big ugly eyesores. They’re huge, it’s like a football field of crap in there. Whatever happened to having a second story? I mean when you build a home, there’s no more expensive one to build than a bungalow (I’m told that’s because of the larger roof and foundation which tend to be the expensive bits), that’s why most homes have a second story. What’s the matter with a second story on a Wal-Mart and having some frigging architecture, instead of looking like a factory? I’m not saying that Wal-Marts should look like the Taj Mahal, but since they take up so much of the available space, wouldn’t it help everyone if they were nicer to look at? It might make going there a little more enjoyable, instead of feeling like I’m herding my family towards the rendering plant.
Anyway, you know there’s too many of these things when you can’t even have a decent plane crash without hitting one. I mean, come on. You fall out of the sky, and can’t manage to miss hitting one. I wonder what the math is on how many square miles of the Earth is covered by Wal-Mart stores. It’s a sad state of affairs.
Ok, this was breaking news when I first put it all together, but now it’s a bit stale because of my day job responsibilities. Oh well.
It was an interesting week (last week) if you were a deer. First off, the authorities noticed that a lot of your deerly departed brothers were from Pennsylvania, so you can sort of infer that deer in Pennsylvania are more depressed, or maybe oppressed, than anywhere else in the US. Then, another deer got a little desperate in Arkansas and picked the wrong home to break into. The man who lived there got downright crazy on that deer and definitely took out the trash. Wow.
So, noticing this recent upswing in deer drama, TV producers, er, researchers at the University of Missouri have decided to capitalize on this and start a deer-related reality TV show, called American Idoel. It will feature all sorts of bad deer activity, a la Cops. The best part is, they’ve hired deer to shoot the series also, as part of their equal opportunity program.
