From the "SURELY you jest" department

Prussian Blue

Via Sadly, No! comes this gotta-be-a-joke site that unfortunately isn't. I kept looking up at the browser address bar expecting to see http://www.theonion.com/ or some other net.jokester.

I've come to the conclusion . . .

. . . that getting old is one of the few things in life that's all it's cracked up to be.

Unfortunately, that ain't much.

Yahoo! News - AOL Creates Its Own Browsing Software

"DULLES, Va. - As part of its reincarnation, America Online Inc. is creating its own software for browsing the Web and playing movies and songs. "

So what are they planning to call it? Netstupe?

Remember Bobcat Goldthwait's "I lost my job" routine?

MSNBC - 'Hardball wth Chris Matthews' for Dec. 7

"Every time one of our guys-we lost-there's a human being we care about."



You didn't LOSE a guy, Chris. He was KILLED. He's DEAD, not misplaced somewhere. I realize this is a tough concept for you, but you need to work a little harder on it, okay?

Notice:

My lack of belief in a supreme being doesn't equate to a desire for some other sort of whackery as a substitute.

On the other hand, I never used to believe in Adam and Eve, but the idea that we're (a) all related to each other, and (b) the product of generations of inbreeding really explains a lot!

So what is Doug getting at here?

Doug Giles: What is Man? Curbing Co-dependency and Eradicating Irresponsibility

"the vast, vast majority of American men want to be more like William Wallace"

The vast, vast majority of American men would rather wear a skirt? Er. . . kilt?

Sure doesn't sound very manly to me, Dougie-boy.

Rudy says felon qualifed to be in Bush Administration

MSNBC - Kerik apologizes for withdrawing

Giuliani said: "...The irony of this is he's about as qualified as you could possibly be for this job."

Hey, being a felon is actually a plus for getting into the Bush Administration, not a drawback. If you're already a crook when you start, you have that much less to learn before you get down to the important work of fleecing the citizenry.

The ultimate vanity site

No, really.

Found it when Sadly, No! somehow got redirected to it. Biggest waste of bandwidth I've seen in a while, not that that's anything unusual on the Internet.

Media gets their panties in a bunch bigtime.

CBS News Blogs: New Medium, Old Politics December 9, 2004 18:59:43

The affiliations and identities of bloggers are not always apparent.

Well, boo-fucking-hoo.

Listen up, douchebag. Despite the best efforts of whiny little shits like you, this is still America. Anonymous political speech through pamphleteering or other means has a been a part of this country since its inception. Deal with it, 'cause it ain't going away.

Yahoo! News - Judge Throws Out Statement by Iraq Abuse Defendant

It really sucks that the enlisted people are taking all the heat for this. I ain't buying the bullshit line that nobody in charge knew anything about the abuse. And even if they didn't know, they SHOULD have. A clear case of dereliction of duty if nothing else.

I think Lynndie will be okay once she gets out of the slammer, though. There's pleny of guys in this country who'll pay good money to be dressed in panties and led around on a leash by a stern young woman in a uniform.
