Mitt Romney Was a Mean High School Bully? I'm Shocked!

[Mrs. R.]

Mitt Romney and his preppie friends in high school bullied a male student for being gay, or gay-like, going so far as holding him down and cutting his hair?!

The Washington Post -- citing five of Romney’s fellow students at the Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. -- reported Thursday that Romney led a posse that pinned down another boy while Romney, himself, cut the boy’s bleached-blond hair, which usually draped over one eye.

WHAAAAAT?!

The man who, as a grown-ass adult with a wife and family, tied the caged "family" dog to the roof rack of the family station wagon for a 12-hour (one way) highway-speed roadtrip (while the family luggage travelled safely and comfortably inside the vehicle)...

And then pulled in a gas station to hose the dog off with cold water (while the dog was still caged and tied to the roof rack) - because the dog had subsequently developed a severe case of diahrrea - and then got right back on the highway, the dog now soaking wet...

A cruel and heartless bully bastard?! A cruel and heartless bully bastard who later bragged about this heartless cruelty to the Boston Globe in 2007, citing this heartless cruelty as an example of his "crisis management" skills?

Never mind that this crisis was one that he created.

BTW, where was the more-humanlike Ann Romney during this 24-hour roundtrip exercise in animal cruelty? Riding shotgun, no doubt, still smitten with the "wild and crazy" bully boy she fell for in high school.

Expect more substantiated stories about Mr. Romney's mean-spiritedness, sense of entitlement, and lack of character in the months ahead. 

By November, Mitt Romney will likely be considered one of the worst presidential candidates in recent history, and a huge embarrassment for the Republican party.

- Mitt Romney's efforts to equate his sons campaigning for him in Iowa (aboard a luxury Winnebago) with military service should have been a big enough red flag for all to see back in 2008, but no-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o...

BP: "Two Pipes? That's Impossible!"

[Mrs. R.]

As Operation Uncap & Recap gets underway this weekend in the Gulf, an interesting piece of information has recently come to light.

First, some background:

One of the problems in successfully capping the well way-back-when occurred on June 2nd. In order for the cap to form an effective seal, the riser pipe of the main well needed to be cut cleanly across. The better the cut, the better the seal.

Unfortunately, the saw used to cut the riser pipe became stuck in the casing. Subsequently, giant shears were used to make the cut, resulting in a more jagged, uneven edge, requiring a looser fitting cap that failed to form an adequate seal.

Nevertheless, these efforts were described by Admiral Thad Allen as"another positive development".

In Admiral Allen's press briefing on Friday, as he summarized plans to recap the well by the middle of next week, he revisited the problems BP engineers had encountered on June 2nd ...

"...let me take you through the sequence. It is complicated. First of all, we have a cap over the well head right now and the reason there’s a loose cap with a rubber seal on the bottom is we weren’t able to get a clean cut when we cut the riser pipe. We used a diamond wire saw and we got inside. We found out there was actually two sets of drill pipe there. And trying to use that diamond wire saw to cut against it—if you’ve ever tried to saw a limb or a piece of wood where you couldn’t hold it and it could move—you can’t get any traction, it doesn’t cut. So then we stopped.

"We then used the big, hydraulic shears which were a very imperfect cut but we did cut it. So it was cut at an angle and we had this jagged cut...

"...we will completely remove that cut off stub of riser pipe and just deal with what we got. What you’ll have then is an open pipe with a phalange (flange) and two pieces of pipe sticking up—the drill pipe and the piece of pipe that presumably fell down beside it as a result of the explosion and the riser pipe being bent over.

"At that point there will be a metal strap put around both of those pipes to make them closer together so it’s easier to put something over the top of them. At that point, they’re going to put a cylindrical device over the top of the two pipes that are banded together."

Of particular interest in this briefing is the repeated reference to not one, but two drill pipes, side by side, inside the wreckage of the well's blowout preventer, and the implication that a second freestanding pipe may have contributed to the failure of the initial cut.

A troubling acknowledgment considering that in late May, when scientists from the Department of Energy detected the presence of two pipes in the well's main riser, BP dismissed the Energy findings as "impossible" because only one pipe in sections was used for drilling.

Troubling because it appears someone up the chain of command deferred to BP's assessment that two pipes were "impossible", over evidence (presented by the DOE) to the contrary. 

Why anyone is still deferring to BP's assessment of anything is more than a mystery, it's a shame.

Exclusive: Copy of Obama's New Cabinet Nominee Questionnaire Leaked

[John]

***Exclusive: Must credit WuzzaDem***

Questionnaire

  1. Please provide copies of all resumes and biographical statements issued by you or any other entity at your discretion or with you consent within the past ten years.

  2.  Has a tax lien or other collection procedure ever been instituted against you or your spouse by federal, state or local authorities? If so, describe the circumstances and the resolution of the matter.

  3. If you or your spouse has ever lived or worked abroad, please describe the circumstances.

  4. Hey, about that tax thing – you do know that we’re asking about ANY liens or back taxes, right?

  5. Briefly describe the most controversial matter you have been involved with in the course of your career.

  6. Not to harp on this, but, seriously, if you have ANY outstanding taxes, please tell us. We’re getting killed, here.

  7. Please provide the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of three professional references. Also, think really hard about that tax question again, because there are a few dipshits out there that who really screwing things up for us.

  8. What’s so f*#king hard about that question, anyway? You either owe back taxes or you don’t.

  9. Seriously, if it turns out you DO owe back taxes (or for that matter, if your gardener, nanny, dog-walker, or anyone else turns out to have problems with their immigration status), and you lie to me it’s your ASS.

  10. I’m not kidding. I know some people that would be only too happy to drag you out of your house and put a serious hurt on you.

  11. Ever had your eyelashes pulled out with pliers? Me neither, but I’m sure it’s painful. BACK TAXES, A-HOLE – DO YOU OWE ANY?

  12. Hey, here’s an idea – how about you also tell us if you’re…oh, I don’t know…BEING INVESTIGATED by federal authorities? Some people don’t get that.

  13. You DO owe back taxes, don’t you? I KNEW IT! Mother f*&ker!!! What? Oh, you don’t? Sorry, my bad.

  14. Wait a second – I’m not falling for this again. If you were chosen to be a part of this administration then there’s at least a 50% chance you’ve been ducking SOME kind of taxes, have some immigration problem, you’ve knocked up a friend’s daughter (wait – no, that’s CNN I’m thinking of – OK, so forget that part), so come clean already.

  15. You know what, whatever position you were being considered for, I’m sure I can do it myself, so let’s just forget it. Besides, you probably owe back taxes anyway.

Nine Days Before The Election, An Undecided Voter Stops By The Local Starbucks

[John]

Welcome to Starbucks, can I help you?

 

 

Joe Biden
Yes, my name is Jim. Jim the...uhhh...candlestick maker.

 

 


OK.

 

 

Joe Biden
Yes, that's my name - Jim the candlestick maker. Small businessman, registered independent, and undecided voter.

 

 


That's very interesting - can I get you something?

 

 

Joe Biden
Certainly, but first, by way of casual conversation, just let me say that I believe my taxes will be much lower under an Obama administration than they would if John McCain were elected.

 

 


Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

 

 

Joe Biden
That's why I'll be voting for Obama.

 

 


I thought you were undecided.

 

 

Joe Biden
Well, I just decided.

 

 


Good for you - now what can I....

 

 

Joe Biden
I also believe that, should Obama be elected, a disaster of unprecedented magnitude will befall this country.

 

 


Really?

 

 

Joe Biden
Absolutely. If Obama wins, then within six months, businesses all across the country will fail, families will be destroyed, heads will explode, eyeballs will bleed, and groins will be hit with whiffle bats.

 

 


I'm sorry, did you say 'groins will be hit with whiffle bats'?

 

 

Joe Biden
Ever been hit in the groin with a whiffle bat?

 

 


No, I haven't.

 

 

Joe Biden
Take my word for it - it hurts like hell. Anyway, that's another reason I'll be voting for Obama.

 

 


You're voting for Obama because a terrible catastrophe will happen if he's elected?

 

 

Joe Biden
Well, at least it'll be a change from the last eight years.

 

 


No offense, but that doesn't really make sense.

 

 

Joe Biden
Maybe I was just employing a bit of rhetorical flourish.

 

 


That sounded pretty specific to me.

 

 

Joe Biden
You big corporate executives are just so isolated that you don't understand how us regular Americans think.

 

 


I'm not an executive, I just work at this franchise.

 

 

Joe Biden
What's a franchise?

 

 


Well, this is just one of the Starbucks locations around the...

 

 

Joe Biden
You mean there's more than one of these places?

 

 


Yeah, there are...

 

 

Joe Biden
Holy crap, I can see at least five people here, how big do you need to be???

 

 


There are actually eight full-time employees at this location.

 

 

Joe Biden
Talk about your Wall Street greed! Well, this unchecked thirst for profits at the expense of the folks on Main Street will come to end end when Barack Obama is president!

 

 


Whatever - look I really need to take your order.

 

 

Joe Biden
OK, just give me a regular cup of coffee, the way they make it in Scranton.

 

 


I don't know how they make coffee in...

 

 


Racist!

 

 

Joe Biden
Scranton's in eastern Pennsylvania, you moron!

 

 


Who is that? And why is he calling you a racist?

 

 

Joe Biden
Just ignore him.

 

 

Joe Biden
But be sure to vote for him.

 

 


Sorry, I already voted.

 

 

Joe Biden
Well, there's no law that says you can't vote more than once.

 

 


Actually, there is.

 

 

Joe Biden
I think you're mistaken.

 

 


No, it's definitely against the law to vote more than once.

 

 

Joe Biden
Well, Barack Obama will put an end to that outdated law.

 

 


I'm sure he will - here's your coffee, that'll be $2.79.

 

 

Joe Biden
Two dollars and seventy-nine cents?? Whatever happened to the five-cent cup of coffee?

 

 


Coffee hasn't been five cents a cup for like thirty years, now if you don't mind...

 

 

Joe Biden
Well, when Barack...

 

 


I know, I know - when Barack Obama is president coffee will be five cents again! Look, just take the coffee, it's on the house.

 

 

Joe Biden
Thanks. And remember, vote McCain/Palin!

 

 


Don't you mean Obama/Biden?

 

 

Joe Biden
Whatever.

 

 


Hey boss?

 

 


Yeah?

 

 


I've got nine vacation days coming, can I take them now?

 

 


Sure, go ahead.

 

 


I think I'll just hibernate.

Romney's $35 Million in Loans to His Campaign in Addition to Undisclosed "Investments" (and, I Think We Need to Talk)

[Mrs. R.]

As noted by Barack Obama in Thursday's night debate (in response to a question about Mitt Romney's business acumen), the confidence some have placed in Mr. Romney's financial management skills may be undeserved.

Washington Post: The Trail

Romney, he said with a big grin, " hasn't gotten a good return on his investment so far in this campaign."
 

Hey, if other conservatives can belittle John McCain by singing the praise of Hillary Clinton, or spit on his war record the way mushroomheads in the '60s/'70s spat on soldiers returning from Vietnam, why can't I poke a little fun at Mitt Romney by quoting Barack Obama?

Speaking of using liberal perspectives to ridicule Republican presidential candidates, Michael Kinsley wrote a funny line about Romney a couple of days ago: "I remind me of Reagan."

Oh, c'mon...That was funny.

What?

I can't use liberal ammo the way you do (when you're bashing the Republican candidate of my choice) because I'm not a Real Conservative?

Um, okay...

Actually, I'm kinda glad you brought that up...

I think we need to talk...

I'm feeling a little...I don't know...I think I need some space...

Besides, I'm really not into that whole porn thing, or Christian bashing, or defending a Republican congressman who trolls the Internet for underage boys (and those who covered for him), or some of the other quirky peccadilloes that seal the bond between Real Conservatives, the Rulers of All Republicans.

Another problem we have? Our senses of humor. Totally, totally different.

Take, for instance, this exchange between Mitt Romney and Mark Riss during a debate in New Hampshire last September:

MARK RISS: I don’t...I don't think you fully understand how offended my wife and I were - and probably the rest of the people who have sons, daughters, husbands and wives serving in the war on terror - to compare your son’s attempts to get you elected to my son’s service in Iraq.

(Cheers, applause.)

I..I...I know you apologized a couple days later and...and a firestorm started, but it was wrong, sir, and you never should have said it,

(YouTube video here...) (link not working - added video below)

Here's a screenshot of Mr. Romney being admonished by Mr. Riss. 

Riss
 

To this day, I have absolutely no idea what Mitt Romney thought was so funny about Mr. Riss' remarks.

Maybe if Mr. Romney was listening to the rants of Code Pink or a 9-11 truther, I could understand the smirk, but...

Another weird thing? I don't see much point in defending a top Romney aide accused of impersonating a law enforcement officer on the basis that he's just a poor, helpless civilian (pretending to be a law enforcement officer).

BOSTON: An ever-present aide to Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney took a leave of absence Friday after he became the subject of investigations in two states for allegedly impersonating a law enforcement officer...

In 2004, Garrity was cited and fined by Massachusetts officials after a Ford Crown Victoria registered to him was found to have lights, a siren, radios and other law enforcement equipment — including a baton — after it was parked illegally in Boston's North End. At the time, Garrity was paid $75,000 (€55,799) annually as Romney's gubernatorial chief of operations.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, in my opinion, this is the kind of stuff that puts a big stink on Republicans...

But, hey, it's your party.

Anway, back to business at the Hogwarts School of Financial Wizardry...

Baltimore Sun: The Swamp

That makes $35.35 million that the multimillionaire, former governor of Massachusetts has “loaned’’ himself in his bid for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination though the end of 2007 -- without a disclosure yet of how much more he has invested so far this year...

Total receipts for the campaign to date: $90 million, according to the Romney campaign. And more than one-third of that came from the former head of Bain Capital who has campaigned as a guy who knows something about economics.

What a contrast to the economics-challenged McCain, eh?, who pulled a stunning comeback on a shoestring budget.

Weird.

You know what else that's weird?


Securing the family luggage safely inside the family station wagon (with the family) during 12-hour (one-way) road trips while the family dog is caged and strapped to the family luggage rack atop the family station wagon.

Brainhurt

Weird magical dog carrier, too. According to Mr. Romney, this is both an "airtight" and "fresh air" kennel. I guess that's why dogs never suffocate when locked in one for 12 hours at a time.

In one report on this story, Mr. Romney claimed to have built a windshield for the luggage rack to keep Seamus comfortable. Yes, Mr. Romney built and then welded a windshield to the luggage rack that would withstand the wind resistance encountered on top of a station wagon traveling at highway speeds. What's not to believe?

But as "airtight" as this "fresh air" dog carrier was, don't be thinkin' it was diarrhea-tight.

All Headline News

Romney told the Boston Globe that he remained cool under the trying circumstances, quickly exited the highway, pulled into a service station and used a water hose to rinse the car free of what turned out to be diarrhea from the stressed out dog on the roof. He then thought to blast Seamus with some water to clean the diarrhea off him before pulling back onto the highway and continuing the trip to Canada with the dog still lashed to the station wagon's roof.

That blast of cold water (and puddling inside the carrier) must have done wonders for Seamus' Happy Diarrhea once the station wagon resumed highway speeds.

Even Tammy Bruce thought this whole story was weird...At the time, anyway...

And all Romney can come up with is that his dog "likes fresh air." So much so it apparently scares the s*** out of him. Talk about patronizing and stupid. Yeah, let's install this guy in the White House.

Mark Levin, where are you?

(I guess these two are just holding their noses, trying to make the best of animal cruelty).

You want to know what's really, really weird? This story wasn't dug up by some reporter or Democratic operative. Romney actually volunteered this story to the Boston Globe as an example of his "emotion-free" crisis management skills.

Amazing as it is weird as it is clueless.

So what ever happened to Seamus (since passed), the dog so beloved by the Romneys?

Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace (Video)

He was in a kennel at home a great deal of time as well...

We loved the dog. It was where he was comfortable. And we had five kids inside the car. My guess is he liked it a lot better in his kennel than he would have liked it inside...

And he was a good friend of the family. We love our pets...

Take a guess.

Boston Globe

So a few years after Seamus's ride to Canada, Mitt sent Seamus to live for a time with (Mitt's sister) Jane and her family in California. "We had more space, so he could roam more freely," she says...

She says he was such a social dog that he often left Mitt Romney's Belmont home to visit his "dog friends" around town. "He kept ending up at the pound," she says. "They were worried about him getting hit crossing the street."

At least he was a few thousand miles away from the Mitt.

Can you imagine Ronald Reagan cozying up to this guy?

Rachel Marsden

Ronald Reagan had an incredible respect for animals. His four-legged companions at the ranch included dogs, cattle, and horses. When they died, he would take them himself to be buried in a little hilltop cemetery that he had created especially for them on the ranch. He would carve each one of them a special headstone. He wanted each of them to be remembered.

Or T. Boone Pickens, friend and supporter of Ronald Reagan (who, incidentally, donated ten million dollars to the Air Force One Pavilion at the Reagan Library in which the most recent Republican debate was held) and a supporter of the Giuliani campaign?

Time

Texas oilman and rancher T. Boone Pickens grabbed a lot of sympathetic headlines after Hurricane Katrina by airlifting 800 abandoned dogs and cats out of the storm zone.

The Texas oilman, 78, hopes his wife's passion for saving horses turns out as well as her push to get animals out of New Orleans after Katrina. Of the 800 animals airlifted out after the storm, he says over 70% have since been reunited with their owners. If he had been told to leave his dog, Murdock, behind in the storm waters, says Pickens, "I'd yell at them to pitch me an inner tube, and I'd take my chances with Murdock." Is this is a kinder, gentler Pickens than we're used to seeing? He laughs and says, "That side has always been there. Just unrecognized by some people."

(No wonder Nancy Reagan supports McCain. Too bad that as a former First Lady she can't come out and endorse him publicly).

But the weirdness never quite stopped for poor Seamus. It followed him all the way to Romney, California, a place where even male dogs can nurse kittens.

Seamus

Seamus in California.

It's like the bullsh*t never stops.

Well, I'm about as weirded out as I care to be for the evening, so farewell, Real Conservatives.

Sorry things didn't work out between us.

But now that you've streamlined the Republican party by chasing out all of us riffraff, you're poised to go balls-out in 2012.

Good luck with that.

Merry Christmas From Mac and PC

[John]

Hi, I'm a Mac.

 

 


And I'm a PC.

 

 


And I just want to wish everyone a merry Christmas.

 

 


So do I.

 

 


Wait a second - what do you mean, "So do I"?

 

 


What? It's Christmas.

 

 


I know, but don't you usually contradict me or insult me?

 

 


Actually, I usually just stand here and let people admire me for being so hip and cool and laid-back - you know, because I'm a Mac - and wait for you to say something that embarrasses PC users. Because, you know, they don't have Macs. But, in the spirit of Christmas, I think we should just wish everyone well.

 

 


That's what I call holiday spirit. Anyway, Merry Christmas from both of us.

 

 


And remember, everyone - Vista blows.

 

 


It certainly does.

 

 


Why didn't I just stay home?

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the WuzzaDems!

Senator Thompson, given the recent reports of threats made against the spouses of presidential candidates, don't you think it would be safer for your wife to stay at home when you're on the road?

Hillary Clinton Sets The Record Straight On The Whole "Planted Question" Controversy

[John]

Yikes:

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted Friday that it planted a global warming question in Newton, Iowa, Tuesday during a town hall meeting to discuss clean energy.

Clinton campaign spokesman Mo Elliethee admitted that the campaign had planted the question and said it would not happen again.
...
“However, Senator Clinton did not know which questioners she was calling on during the event. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again.”


Hillary_town_hall
Now, I'd be glad to answer any questions.

 


 


Hillary_crowd_1
Senator, the health care crisis in this country...

 


 


Hillary_town_hall
Yeah, yeah, there's probably something on my web site about that. How about you, in the back, miss? Did you have a question about the allegation that someone on my staff planted a question at my last town hall meeting?

 


 


Hillary_crowd_2
Oh, right, um, were you aware someone in the crowd had been instructed to ask a specific question, or was this done without your knowledge, possibly by an overzealous staff member, and will it happen again?

 


 


Hillary_town_hall
That's a very good question. Let me be very clear - this is something that was done without my knowledge, by an overzealous staff member, and I assure you it will not happen again.

 


 


Hillary_town_hall
Does that answer your question?

 


 


Billy
Yes. Yes, it does.

 


 


Billy
I wish she'd just hurry up and tank.

Thanks For The $36.00, Asswipes

[John]

Yes, that's a blogad for Lions for Lambs in the sidebar.

Here's the deal: John Hawkins from Right Wing News was running something called a "Hive Blogad" a few months back, which featured links to various posts from conservative blogs, but there were some technical difficulties, so it was "deferred", which means the order for the ad sits in my little Blogads inbox, waiting to be reactivated. Whenever I log on to Blogads, I see "Conservative Hive Livelink".

This morning I got an e-mail from Blogads telling me a new ad had been submitted, I logged in, and approved the new version of the Hive ad - I thought. When I looked at the blog, these three bozos were staring at me from the sidebar:

Assholes

AAAAAH!

I logged onto Blogads again, and sure enough, I had mistakenly approved an ad named "Conservative/Lions for Lambs". Apparently Redford and his buddies are looking to convert a few lizard-brained right-wingers with their "powerful anti-war message." Way to budget those advertising dollars, jagoffs.

Well, at least the movie's getting good reviews:

Watching some NFL football on Sunday, I saw the new TV ad for Lions for Lambs. The ad had quotes from favorable “reviews”. If you look at the fine print two of the positive “reviews” were from posts on Daily Kos.

Anyway, thanks for the $36.00, dickheads. I'll use it to pay my TypePad bill. Then we can publish more posts like these.

UPDATE: WTF? They took the ad down. Something I said?

UPDATE II: Hey, do I get to keep the $36.00?

UPDATE III: Looks like I don't get to keep the $36.00

Yahoo! Looks Like We're Retiring

[John]

I've just been informed by a high-level official at "Yahoo Lottery Incorperation UK and Ireland" (I guess that's the Irish spelling) that I've been selected from thousands of Yahoo! e-mail users to receive "a prize money of (Four Hunderd Thousands British Pounds Starling £400,000 GBP) of the year, 2007 Lottery-win promotion."

Seems this is a promotion that was started by the Yahoo! e-mail team to reward Yahoo! e-mail users.

Well, they got my attention, and now I'm a Yahoo! e-mail user for life. All I need to do to collect my "Four Hunderd Thousands British Pounds Starling" is reply to this e-mail address:

Try and stop me.

Or, We Could Just Paint a Giant Target On It

[John]

Ack:

New York's iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said.

OK, This Is Really Pissing Me Off

[John]

Seriously, it's just ridiculous.

UPDATE: Never mind - now that I look at it in the proper context, it makes sense.

UPDATE II: Turns out that wasn't the proper context, after all. Now I'm even more pissed off.

UPDATE III: I might have been a little hasty about that context. I guess I should look at it again.

UPDATE IV: Maybe I didn't put the context in the proper context. Is that even possible?

UPDATE V: Now I've lost track - would that mean I'm still pissed off, even more pissed off, or that it doesn't bother me any more?

UPDATE VI: Should I just forget about the context and put it into something else?

OK, Back To Posting

[John]

Welcome to Starbucks, can I help you?

 

 


Oh, yeah? Well, maybe you should...wait, you're not Harry Reid.

 

 


Yeah, I was expecting Tom Harkin.

 

 


What the hell's going on?

Well, I'm out of here. See ya.

 

 


Later.

And Now...We Resume Blogging, As Though We Never Said Anything About "Quitting"

[John]
What2_2
"Whaaaat? Oh, come on, that was satire!

UPDATE: I can't believe this guy copied us by coming back three days before we did. Wait a second...oh, never mind. No, it's not a joke. Hey, watch the language, salty.

UPDATE II: By the way, no more political blogging at WuzzaDem. That's right, I've decided to write about my real passion - pop culture. I know, I never let on before, but I'm a real celebrity-watcher. So, let's get started:

Did you hear about what's-her-name? I hear she's divorcing that guy. She is divorcing him, right? Man, I hate that guy.

Wait, maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Not about what's-her-name, I know all about her, I mean about that guy. What the hell is his name? You know who I mean, right? Is he the one who shaved his head? You know, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure she shaved her head. Yeah, that's right - she shaved her head, then that President Hilton guy got a picture of it when she was getting out of the car, and he put it on the internet.

No, wait, that can't be right - what kind of name is President?

OK, forget what's-her-name. Did you hear what that actor said? What a dickhead. That guy should just STFU and be in that movie he's in. Or is it a TV show? Maybe it's a made-for-TV movie. Whatever.

Seriously, though, what kind of parents would name their son President? It's bad enough the guy was born with blue hair, his mom and dad have to compound the problem give him some freaky name. Probably hippies. Freakin' hippies.

What was I talking about? You know what, just forget I said anything.

The Last Final WuzzaDem Post:
An Episode of Mission Impossible in Which the Recording in the Opening Scene Was Made By Jim Phelps's Elderly Grandfather

"What, you can't say "good morning" to your own grandpa?"

 

And on that rather lame note, we're hanging up the "Closed" sign.

 

Closed1

 

I hate to be picky, but do you have anything a little more...I don't know..modern?

 

Closed2

 

That's a little better, but why is it crooked? And what's with the glare?

 

Closed3

 

Oh, come on! That would have been a perfectly good sign, but you had to hang those stupid drapes - or whatever that is - in front of it and obscure the first and last letters.

 

Closed4

 

Don't you think this one's kind of...commercial?

You know what - just forget I said anything, it's fine.

So, that really was the last post. Thanks from both of us, it's been fun, but now we must bid you ado adew adoo whatever.

UPDATE: I'm They're touched. Bravo, basil!


UPDATE III (from John): Thanks InstaPunk. And thanks to everyone for the kind comments and e-mails.

To answer few of the questions people have been asking, we haven't struck it rich; we're not in the poorhouse; I do like salsa; we are not perfecting our plan for world domination; OK, so that was picante sauce; no, we don't actually have a plan for world domination; look I don't care - it had tomatoes, onions, garlic and cilantro, and I put it on my corn chips, so just drop it already; OK, so if we don't have a plan for world domination then maybe I shouldn't have said we weren't perfecting it; I swear, if you bring up the damned salsa again I'm going to stab myself in the eye with an ice pick!

You know what, I'm done answering questions.

Taking a Break

Building

We're going to be gone for a while. We won't be anywhere near the building in the photo above. Actually, I have no idea why that photo is even in this post.

That's just weird.

Anyway, we'll be gone for about a week or so. But not anywhere near that building. At least, not that I know of.

Whatever.

Maybe He Should Consider Changing His Name

[John]

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Over video of someone apparently named "Illegal Immigrant", the reporter from this piece says, "...just a few minutes later, this man walks in to the store. He says that Immigration laws have left him no choice but to go back to Mexico since he can't support his family here."

Illegal_immigrant
"If I have no license and I'm not going to be legalized, I can't work."

Yeah, cuz that would be...um...illegal. And if there's one thing Illegal Immigrant doesn't do, it's break the law. Well, most laws, anyway.
