Affirmative Action

Allows illegal alien admission into UCLA over better qualified American students.

"Officials say their goal is to find the best students, not to enforce immigration law...The 18-year-old De La Cruz graduated barely in the top 20% of her San Pedro High class and is competing against students with much higher GPAs and test scores."

Disgusting.

Where is Auntie Zeituni these days?

Update: That's another point in favor of Abby: she's territorial. She understands the concepts of borders and sovereignty.

Impeach Obama!

It's time for real leadership we can trust!!!

I'm campaigning for Abigail for President!

Her attributes are not limited to but include:

*She's a woman

*She's of mixed color

*She has experienced boo boos and injury

*She has been held in captivity for longer than John McCain and understood even less of the language of her captors

*She knows what it's like to be hungry and treated as the "other"

*She is brilliant

*She is not squeamish when it comes to unpleasant necessities (she "gets it done")

*She understands that Muslims consider her an "infidel" and "unclean" and holds no illusions as to their true agenda

*Supporters may contribute in the comments, the list goes on and on...

(make your own Obamacon here)

Her running mate and cabinet will be revealed shortly.

Awwww...

That's an adorable time lapse larva video!

Great Pizza

Me Gator and Swanny tried the spicy cajun bbq pie with crawfish and shrimp and it was outstanding.

Jimmy was wandering the streets like Snake Pliskin after the rodeo at the time...

I Never Knew

that you must quarantine a snail for three days before eating it. I have eaten snails before and thoroughly enjoyed them, yum.

Remember, "ignore their cries of hunger"!

Many other sage and life saving apocalypse strategies from across the pond here. A big plus: we here don't need the ark to cross the Atlantic.

A big minus: we need the ark if we want the first folio, which I do. Well, perhaps. I'll look, we must have one around here somewhere. (Update: Aha. Just as I'd suspected. There are 79 of the lovely omnibus in D.C. at the Folger Shakespear Library. Scroll down for the explanation of the plural for omnibus. The Language Log has moved and has a Buddy Holly post with some language insights here.)

Slobber and Drool

This thought just gets the heart dancing around a bit, no?

The Nordic Tug

"But wait!" you say..."Won't she wallow like a squat little pig with that single screw? Tight coves my arse!"

Not to worry! That bow thruster looks like it would be a lot of fun to use. You could hide nearly anywhere.

Did Anyone

catch the plate number on that fence?

It was clearly at fault...

Hurtling Towards Earth

Strapped to a dead man:

A U.S. soldier says his military training helped him land safely on his first skydiving jump after the instructor he was tethered to died from an apparent heart attack as they parachuted over South Carolina.

How was your day?

Update:

Or was it fowl play?

Something really similar has more than once crossed my mind. I like this idea!

"Rendering Farms"

That sounds interesting and could have a couple of meanings.

Oh My Lord

Don't go here if you love animals or Elephants in particular.

It is, however, a beautiful image with regard to today's "Republicans".

Jimmy

has a wonderful Superbowl beer review up, Peace Be Upon Him!

I would cheat and paste his exquisite photos up here in this post but you would be far better rewarded trekking on over.

Nice shots Jim. I believe they capture several spirits. An American pigskin verisimilitude, inspiring and difficult to quantify. The man is an artist.

My Superbowl plans have been disrupted beyond any recognition. I will fulfill some nice chores and maybe do my taxes.

Adam called and has been in Saratoga Springs proper. I hope he said hello to Mendocino Danny. That was a timeless classic of a trip. He said he had a nice time in the bar involving the superstar jockey anecdote. I won't convey the whole yarn but let's just say that sometimes you can sense people nearby, even before your eyes have adjusted so you may as well be in total darkness. Sometimes you turn your head and it is a moment before you realize that you need to look down, way down, to see the individual in question. The six foot blonde statue whom it appears from a distance that you are appraising ala chattel on an antebellum New Orleans dock would be his girl behind him. Rascally little fellers, those jockeys, often with thick accents.

It's beautiful up there, I hope he notices the Jimmy post pronto. Or I hope he notices the post Post Haste...

Google Cares

Do you really want to send that?

Sure it seems like a great idea and skillfully worded right now but...

Perhaps a jog in the ties between you and your embarrassment would derail that runaway locomotive named humiliation.

They're thinking and trying and I give them credit.

Now---BEEELLCCHHH!----should I post this?

In the DVD

A sleeper of a classic.

Youtube Game

Boingboing links to a neat Oscar themed game on Youtube where you must spot the differences in the nominee stills.

I wonder if it will work when embeded?

Answer: No.

Just go on over and test you powers of observation.
