Graham to Iraq

Posted on February 14, 2008 | Comments Off on Graham to Iraq

Republic nominee-to-be John McCain says he relies on Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from my birth state of South Carolina, to keep him informed on Iraq. If, as some are speculating, McCain chooses lawyer Graham to run as his VP, Graham’s new employer, the Air Force, will have to send him home again. Shouldn’t be a problem, of course.

Skype spam

Posted on February 13, 2008 | Comments Off on Skype spam

I suppose it was inevitable, the Web being what the Web is. But I had clean forgotten the possibility of Skype attracting spam. Until a few moments ago when Sex Bomb attempted to insert her? its? self into my Skype address book. Offered the opportunity to do so, I declined. I hope that’s enough. Time will tell. It always does.

The Valentine sin

Posted on February 13, 2008 | Comments Off on The Valentine sin

To get red roses delivered in Saudi Arabia on Valentine’s Day you need to have them arrive early in the morning or in the middle of the night before–if you can find a florist willing to risk his business and, perhaps, his life. Valentine’s Day is a sin amongst your enlightened Saudi Muslims, the Wahhabi kind. Also known as the tolerant Religion of Peace, dontcha know.

Obama-rama unplugged

Posted on February 12, 2008 | Comments Off on Obama-rama unplugged

Without his teleprompter, and his fluid script of high-mindedness, BHO is just another angry lefty:

"The name of my cousin Dick Cheney won’t be on the ballot. That was embarrassing when that news came out. When they do these genealogical surveys, you want to be related to somebody cool."

Guess we’re not really all one big, lovin’ American family, afterall. Eh, Barack?

As for this, at his campaign office in Houston: Hey, Barack, even Fidel thought Che was a moron.

UPDATE: The "inappropriate flag" ’tain’t official, says Mr. O., as if that explains everything.

Food for thought, etc.

My eyes have been bothering me lately. Getting old. Maybe I need to eat more carrots.

"A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye…and science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes."

These kind of forwardings around the Web usually just get deleted. But I read this one.

Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Chocolate

Posted on February 7, 2008 | Comments Off on Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Chocolate

This has to be the worst diet softdrink ever. Essence of cherry going in, with a Yoo-Hoo-like aftertaste coming out that, mercifully, fades after a few seconds. But not soon enough. Yech.

Like Instapundit says, this is a real winner: "McCain for President. Or we’re really screwed." Nuff said.
