It’s a holiday miracle

Bill O’Reilly, the holy defender in the faux war against Christmas is featuring his own line of Christmas…whooops, HOLIDAY ornaments.
Update: 11:00 PM. Looks like the Fox Folks fixed their folly. The word ‘Christmas’ has now replaced the word ‘Holiday’. Fun while it lasted!

Ahhhhhhhhhh Choo, God bless Samurai Sushi

If you want to see an artisan at work, sit at the sushi bar at Samurai Sushi and watch Mr. Choo chop and roll. If you want the best sushi in Nashville, eat what you just watched Mr. Choo create. Don’t leave the joint until you’ve tried the Choo Choo roll, one of [...]

From Wodehouse to just House, from twit to wit – Hugh Laurie mashup

Netflix delivered to me a wonderfully juicy opportunity for juxtaposition tonight…Volume 2 of Season 1 of the Adventures of Bertie and Jeeves based on the writings of the great comic master P.G. Wodehouse. What’s the juxta-twist? Hugh Laurie, star of ‘House‘ also stars as Bertie of whom it could be easily said:
He had just about [...]

Is that little 50 Cent in your pocket or do you love me?

According to the Starpulse website:
50 Cent is planning to create a vibrator of his manhood – so his female fans can pretend to have sex with him. The sexy rapper is desperate to release a line of condoms and waterproof sex toys designed to excite his female fans and make them feel closer to his [...]

Democrats could learn from THIS Republican

While local Demos are grubbing for a mere $500 bucks for gambling expenses and playing footsie with out-of-state collection agencies, Republican congressman (now ex-congressman), Randy ‘Duke’ Cunningham went way beyond footsie in his quest for the gold from defense contractors who he managed to ‘help’ along the way.
In court documents, prosecutors said Cunningham admitted [...]

The pontiff wants to wear my red shoes

Sharon Cobb got to this story before me, but I’m nothing if not redundant..nothing if not redundant.
According to a recent UPI story:
Pope Benedict XVI is developing a reputation as a clotheshorse with his taste for Prada shoes and designer sunglasses.
The Tablet, a Roman Catholic newspaper in England, points to the new pope’s expensive sunglasses, which [...]

Salemtown’s halfway house

He’s a real half-way man, living in his half-way land…probably drinking half and half. This is an example of the kind of develpment we DON’T need in Salemtown. A skinny house crammed into a half lot. Much of the building material is low-cost and ugly, yet the asking price is over 300K.

Quote of the day…

Sports Reporter commentator Roy Johnson, decrying a lawsuit against a football coach in New Jersey for leading his team in a group prayer before the game:
“……in a time in sports when we wonder where our role models have gone, is it really so bad to ask our young athletes to simply look up”

Good dog vs evil dog

Sparky, our Australian Terrier for whom I expressed thanks in an earlier post, secretly channels messages from Scooter Libby. In the top picture, despite his docility and willingness to pretend he is enjoying the normal doggie-human interaction, you can see the sly look. In the bottom picture, taken a few minutes later, Sparky is [...]

Should I stay or should I go, or, On or Off track in Iraq

I’ve generally been one of the middling, ‘we shouldn’t have gone, but now we can’t leave’ people regarding US presence in Iraq. Here’s a guy who knows a helluva lot more than I do about the situation who says we should go NOW – Gen. William E. Odom, the head of the National Security [...]

The Steve Gill prayer…

Actually there are two Steve Gill prayers. The first is Steve’s own: ‘Dear God, PLEASE let Bredesen propose a state income tax…please, please please.’
Gill, who is considering a run for the governor, may talk about ethics, but truth is, he’s a one-trick pony. Buried in today’s Tennessean story on the next governor’s race is [...]

You can’t possibly make this stuff up..

Ultimate Christian Wrestling Tour…check out the Talent. Looks like ‘Dixie Dynamite’ might be coming after his barber..and I’m guessing that Dustin found God in a state-sponsored institution of some sort. I’m looking forward to the battle between Josh’s IQ and room temperature.

Other job news you might have missed..

Thanks go NIT guest-host Rachel I heard the news that ex-FEMA head, Michael ‘heckuva job’ Brown is opening his own emergency management consulting agency. She left out some salient job news from other fronts, so I thought I would fill the breech..
Michael Jackson is franchising his own chain of child care centers. He’s [...]

Reasons to be cheerful…part 3

Despite Aunt B’s cheerful contrarian advice to list things for which we are UNgrateful, I’ve gotta go with the grateful ABCs*.

November 22, 1963

People around my age have one thing in common – no matter our political or religious beliefs, no matter our social standing – we all know exactly where we were when we heard the news that the President had been shot.
I was a 6th grader at David Lipscomb. My teacher was Mrs. Deese. [...]
