My Cousin Al, and the Myth of a Filibuster-Proof Senate {Politics Daily}
Jun 30th 2009 6:09PM Since we now have a "Comedian in Chief" who seems to be able to disarm many of those in DC before they start taking themselves too seriously, I think SENATOR Franken might be somewhat refreshing. He will at least be able to write his own material so he won't have to rely on the daily distributed "talking points". And as a resident of Mn., he will be able to help us ID the prevailing BS ( big dairy country up there,don't ya know). And since Mn. is the land' o' a thousand lakes, he can teach us how to catch and release the bottom feeders( ther's a reason they call them crappie ). And we can always make him the comedy czar!
Also Not Amused by Letterman: Flight Attendants {Politics Daily}
Jun 13th 2009 2:42AM I think Ty is on to something. OK. here's a joke: A white blond guy walks into a bar with a parrot on his head. The bartender says "Where did you get that?" The parrot says " Salt Lake City " Next joke: A black guy walks into a bar with a parrot on his head. The bartender says " Where did you get that?" The parrot says " Africa ". Now who did I offend? Everybody? IT'S A JOKE. IT'S 11:45 at night. IT'S DAVID FFFIN LETTERMAN. There is a lot of really important stuff goin' on these days and this just isn't ANY of them. Get a grip. On yourselves. You might go blind!
17 Famous Men With Teeny Weenies, Part 2 {Lemondrop}
Jun 11th 2009 10:55AM A man goes to the doctor and says he has got $7,000.00 and wants to give his wife an anniversary present... he wants penile enhancement. The doctor says "Before I do this for you, you need to find out if she would rather you have the 9in.long model or the 6in. wide model."The man comes back the next day and the doctor says "Did you talk it over with your wife?" The man says "Yeah, she says we're gonna go with the granite counter tops!" Sorry I had to keep it "short ".
David Letterman and Sarah Palin Feud Grows {Politics Daily}
Jun 10th 2009 11:36AM Just saw an " interview" with John Ziegler re:his interview with Gov.Palin. I think it's safe to say that this liteweight is not destined for prime time. He's rude, crude and out'o'sight> Mostly, he can't hold his own with a semi-pro interviewer and that being the case should stay away from playing anything but home games. Like the man said" ' more horses asses than horses".

Feb 25th 2009 8:54PM Aww! Little Marky Mark. Did you never get to partake of the " Stew Fly Pie ". Maybe you should get a Harley or a C'Vette. You Know those extenders! And yes!! Many times they are "lay" over hotels, but never for you . You never pay our salary. You can't afford us. Keep in mind, the next time you are on a plane and you try to make nice with a flight attendant ,and you will to no avail, keep in mind she is looking at you thinking " Why would I want to go anywhere with the likes of you?" You are avery "small" man and you can't fix stupid!
Pilot sues flight attendants over safety {Gadling}
Feb 24th 2009 7:52PM Carole, chances are(Johnny Mathis 1962), we've met already. My wife still flys so I am out there in the
f-skies sometimes. Your comments were certainly spot on. I used to have a whole routine that I would do re: Is this all you are gonna do with your life? We all had more fun than these people would ever believe and were still able to take pride in our professionalism. We did not do it for "them", we did it for us! Take care of yourself and fly safe. Stay as loyal to them as they are to you.
Pilot sues flight attendants over safety {Gadling}
Feb 24th 2009 1:34PM I retired from a legacy carrier after 40+yrs. The comments on this story remind me why I couldn't go on any longer." Oh the inanity ". Dorothy, I've never met you but I know you so well. It would frighten you. The person who mentioned the CLR program had it right. Every flight is a collaborative effort and right thinking people( crew members) understand that and embrace the concept. As a wise man once said, "I never learned anything while I was talking. " If one mind is good, then two, three, five, eight or nineteen are always better. I like the "all to go, one to say no" philosophy. Everybody just step back and use your heads for something other than hat racks. Fly safe!
Marvin Harrison Asks to Be Released {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Feb 23rd 2009 2:52PM First off, a contract is a contract and you should not sign it if you don't intend to honor it for it's duration. Kind of like the current housing market. Secondly, both sides should look to restructuring these contracts to reflect pay for performance both good and bad. There should be incentives for outstanding performance, and consequences for poor . Miss a tackle, -20,000.00. Get beat on a secondary coverage -25,000.00. INT + 30,000.00. Sack + 20,000.00. These things can be negotiated. Oh, yeah... shoot yourself, loss of pay for the year plus a fine to be divided up among your teammates. You get a pattern here?
