Reward: Rubber Chicken

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 9:09 pm

White House invites journos who defied admin to official state dinner!

If anything, internal bureacracy at the WH would be responsible for this oversite. But at the same time, one still needs to attempt to curry the occasional good press from these people.

And is a rubber chicken dinner actually considered an award–or is it a sign of disrespect?

Curse of the Dolans?

Filed under: Cleveland/NEO, New York City, Sports — Jaws @ 6:59 pm

Interesting stream of thought over at the semi-satirical (yet sadly true) God Hates Cleveland Sports

There seems to be something about the Dolan Family and owning sports teams…that well…doesn’t go well together.

Cablevision wasn’t/isn’t the greatest either.

But it’s an interesting paralell nonetheless.

Added degree of difficulty, speaking of Cleveland-rooted owners of sports teams–how about we throw Bruce Ratner into the discussion as well.

The easy AP assignment

Filed under: Israel, Middle East — Jaws @ 9:21 pm

It can’t be too difficult a job for the AP stringer who got to write this piece:

Arab Anger Flares at Israeli Incursion

Arab Anger at Israel? Shocking!

Do they write these stories from scratch everytime? Or is there a default “template” for this one where they just change a few details…

Call to boycott?

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 9:25 pm

Aparently there’s a call by some to boycott companies that advertise in the NY Times.

Personally–I’m not big on these types of boycott things, as they usually fail to get the point across.

But for fun–I’m going to take a look at some of the suggested “tergets” for such a boycott.

Let’s see…

Tiffany, Cartier, Chanel. Gucci. Torneau, Saks Fifth

I dunno if I could survive without these places (/heavy sarcasm).

The secret Zionist weapon: The Sabra

Filed under: Israel — Jaws @ 9:03 pm

Like the fruit from which the term is derived the secret weeapon of the Israelis is their external strength and internal “softness”.

As DryBones explains:

Our enemies are cruel, proudly willing to sacrifice their children… It is what makes them strong! We Israelis are soft inside and we worry about the lives of our kids… It is what makes us human.

They’re televising the National Spelling Bee these days…so one can only wonder how far off this could be:

Did the PA ever establish anything that’s remotely similar to say, OSHA? Just curious

Smart Pill to Report from Inside the Body

A suggestion to the Court

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 8:47 pm

To the Justices of the Supreme Court:

Today’s news reports that you’re going to be taking up a case vis-a-vis “global warming”.

It is my sincere hope that your honors not debate the science of the subject; but rather focus your arguments and analysis to the legal and Constitutional issues present in the case. As Justices your expertise is the Law, not science; and you should not be the ones making decisions which are better left to the scientific community at large.

Way too much information

Sometimes I think it’s better to omit some of the specifics

Is Warren Buffet, cheating the IRS on a potential windfall?

That Commonwealth of “progressivism”, Massachussets, is less “green” than Texas?

And just because I’m mentioning Massachussets– What the heck was/is in the water on the Brandeis campus this year?

Four letters can sum up my feelings toward this headline–even if it is a bluff (which I hope it is)

F.E.T.E.

That goes for Hamas, Fatah, PIJ, their “political wings” cough bullshit cough

Seeking a professorship?

Filed under: Moonbats and Wingnuts — Jaws @ 3:32 pm

Is current Rep. Jack Murtha considering going into Academia?

Some of his recent statements sound like the kinds of things you’d expect to hear from the more outspoken liberal professors.

For example, his calling the US a greater threat to world peace than N. Korea

Living in NYC: Good and Bad

Filed under: New York City — Jaws @ 3:05 pm

Today’s observation:

Bad thing about living in NYC: Having to schlepp your grocieries home from the store*. Double bad when it’s raining cats and dogs.

Good thing: large amounts of scaffolding being up to help protect you from the rain

Cue a Cuyahoga river joke!

(Or if your mind is really in the gutter; or you’ve just got a sense of collegiate humor, there’s another direction one could take this story in–but I won’t go there)
