Why can't we have a fuck-cam at Miller Park?

Somehow I am sure it is Bud Selig's fault.

Yet another sad case of cruelty to cute animals

The cruel, inhumane tradition of clubbing fuzzy wuzzy seals to death continues even in 2009. Can you watch the video below and not be moved to tears?

After 7 months, the votes are tallied

Today the MN Supreme Court ruled that Al Franken won the senate election there. I can't help but wonder what might have happened if Bush v Gore were allowed even half this much scrutiny. The thing I find most ironic about the ordeal is that the day after the election, when the small difference in vote counts mandated a recount by state law, Coleman was calling on Franken to move on and concede. Then he proceeded to drag the process out 7 months to the MN supreme court.

Doc I need some oats

Obama's FDA is threatening to regulate Cheerios as a drug, due to their "heart healthy" labeling. I wish I could say something funny about this, but I can't top the raw material.

Another sad case of cruelty to cute animals

An Oklahoma couple is accused of killing a puppy then skinning it to make a belt. (I don't think they finished it so they were unable to sport the belt) A local deputy expressed his outrage thusly:

"We're talking about a seven-week-old puppy, defenseless, seven-week-old puppy that can't fight for itself," says Muskogee County Sheriff's Deputy George Roberson.

As the deputy knows, animal hides should come from animals that are killed in a fair fight, much in the same way as the cows his belt and shoes came from were killed.

The worst part of the story? It appears that the rest of the puppy was thrown away, wasting valuable natural resources.

The local sherrifs office want's to make it clear that it has zero tolerance for such savagery:

"If you go out and kill a dog, skin him, dog dumping, any kind of animal cruelty case, it will be investigated to the fullest we find out you done it we're going to put you in jail."

Veal mongers beware, the Muskogee sherrif's office is watching you.

They're all gonna laugh at you Dick

The Obama DOJ thinks that statements made by very important people in criminal investigations should be kept secret because: if made public people might use it to make fun of them. Heaven forbid that (hopefully) candid statements from politicians might be made public. We must protect our leaders by making (again hopefully) truthful statements secret otherwise people might criticize them and hurt their feelings.

What is the world coming to these days?

Priorities

My suggestion to the feds: Focus more on the people with real bombs and less on the people with fake bombs.

Ambassador Ventura

If you haven't seen the Larry King Jesse Ventura interview yet it is worth watching.



Of course the money quote being talked about, which is near the beginning, is 'you give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.'

Charlie Sykes, Milwaukee's Joe Biden?

On the Sunday Insight with Charlie Sykes on of the subjects was Joe Biden's statements that were offensive to the planes, trains, and mass transit industries. The general consensus was that the irascible Joe Biden says stupid things often, and it is funny. That's quite a Sunday insight. After moving on the discuss the swine flu in a general sense, Charlie Sykes said 'it's deadly, it's fatal'. I think if Biden had called it fatal that might be considered quite a gaffe too. Since it doesn't directly offend some large industries, the apology probably would not have been necessary, but it still would have required a 'clarification' saying he mis-spoke and that it is only potentially fatal.
