Random Surfing: Shout out. Funniest standup

OK, I was watching youtube (yeah, I'm lame...)

Since it was Paula Poundstone, I couldn't help but see a title saying, funniest stand up ever. Here it is: (no it wasn't paula doing this routine...)

Some comic from Wales flew down under and they lost all of his luggage except....

Humor: Harry Potter via NY Times

OK: I found this on the NY Times web-site (look below the pie) credited to Here. Amazing, if not five years too late.

OK, you wanted a Political discussion: Here goes.

The background I believe that:
* We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION.
* It's going to be as BAD as the last one.
* The current failures only bring us 25% into the problem!!
* According to Robert Reich (former Sec'y of Labor under Clinton): The only number that he EVER saw, defining the
depression was that the unemployment rate hovered around 25%.
* We need a new deal.
* After 58 years of NO Health Care Reform (since 1950!) it will FINALLY be coming soon...
* We've managed to WASTE a FULL generation (from Zero to thirty) with decaying social, educational, and interpersonal skills.
* Our nation is no longer DOING (producing) anything.
SO, from these few premises, I have extrapolated a great deal of items to FIX our society...

But....
We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.
If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one!

Here's what I came up with:

We need to do the FOLLOWING to FIX our Society:
* Create A Living Wage
* Create a National Single payer Healthcare
* Create a National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service)
* Create a Federally paid Day Care starting at six months
* Implement Tax Reform on the ULTRA Rich
* Lobbying (Political Reform)
* Education
* Infrastructure (road /bridge/Systems repairs)
* Lack of Training/futures
* Truth and Reconcilliation Commission
* A new "Manhattan" project, focusing on Energy INDEPENDENCE

Humor: Election 2008-- The Realist's view

Over at Diesel Sweeties (another web-comic) they say: what most of the "regular" people in the US of A say:

We be screwed (anyway...)

that be right...


How sad, and what a pathetic life!

I AM R1cheR then YOU$$

The dear Old NYTimes reports:

That people are upset because of a new application you can download onto your IPhone that is called "I Am Rich". That is the name of a program you can download from ITunes that does NOTHING except signal to the world that its buyer was wealthy enough to have spent $1,000 to download an image of a multifaceted ruby.

Created by a German software developer, Armin Heinrich, it was written pretty much as a joke. “I found that some users complain about prices for iPhone applications above 99 cents,” Mr. Heinrich said. “I regard it as art. I did not expect many people to buy it and did not expect all the fuss about it.”

But buy it (at least) 8 people did, reported The Los Angeles Times, earning its developer $5,600, his 70 percent share of the purchase price.

Since then, Apple has notified Mr. Heinrich that two of the sales were reversed. Some people apparently bought it by mistake, with at least one saying he hit the “one click” button, not expecting the sale to go through.

HumoR: anti-telemarketing tips from PROFT.org

Another oldie: from 6-2-06

How to handle a telemarketer

The phone rang as I was sitting down to my evening meal, and as I answered it, I was greeted with "Is this Joe Brummer?"

Not sounding anything like my name, I asked who is calling. The telemarketer said he was with The Rubber Band Powered Freezer Company or something like that.

Then I asked him if he knew Joe personally and why was he calling this number. I then said, off to the side, "get some pictures of the body at various angles and the blood smears." I then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had already traced this call,and he would be receiving a summons to testify in this murder case.

I questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call.

The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a shaky voice. I then told him we had located his position and the police were entering the building to take him into custody and at that point I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away.

My wife asked me as I returned to our table why I had tears streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for several minutes.

My meal was cold, but it was the best meal in a long, long time.

BITCH: bitch-slap her... Reprise (Heather Mills)

ok.. The AP (via ABC news says)
that Heather (I had Paul; but I lost him) Mills said, "Mills Explains Divorce Court Outburst" from Las Vegas, where she was judging The Miss USA pagent.

that...

(...I...)"became angry when his lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, argued that full details of the case, including some related to the couple's 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice, should be disclosed.

"Mrs. Shackleton said something under her breath so I cleansed and baptized her," Mills said. "I thought she looked fantastic - I thought it did her the world of good."


What a stupid, self-righteous bitch... Kick her off the judging pool, and CUT off her GOOD leg... That's be better...

And she can take the 40 million she DID get, and she can buy bionic legs..

Then her legs will match her BALLS... Bionic that is...


wow... two posts in ONE day... I guess the blog is ACTIVE again!
