A man in Florida decided to make a fashion statement by wearing a special shirt to court. The shirt in question had a cartoon with the directions for making crack cocaine on it. Ladies and gentlemen, I am awed by the genius it takes to go to court on drug trafficking charges wearing such apparel. It takes some kind of stupid to think that this was a good look.
Other bad fashion ideas:
- Eric Holder wearing an “I heart Tijuana!” tee shirt to testify before Congress
- Bill Clinton wearing a suit made out of Playboy centerfolds to a NOW convention
- Lady GaGa wearing a meat suit worn to the vegan love-in
- Barack Obama wearing a Malcolm X hat to golf at Augusta

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Barack Obama Jimmy Carter loses his.
Sorry, the devil made me do it!

I choose to see evil for what it is. A real thing that must be resisted with every ounce of force available. Every tool at my disposal. I’ll not blame the tools that evil men use. I won’t jump at shadows.
I do not live in fear because I know that I can fight it. I may not always win, but I will not succumb. Luck has nothing to do with it.
— Jennifer, Lucky?

Bluesun brings the funny. That probably ought to be the Quote of the Day.
OldNFO discusses a plane with a personality. Flying that low in a plane with that many problems takes guts.
Og gets lucky. I wish I was able to fix my automotive annoyances this quickly.
Chuck Z. finally makes it home. Trips like that make the hassle of flying in the U.S. look wimpy.
Wing demonstrates the appropriate way in which a spouse deals with a grumpy partner. I hope I remember that lesson the next time I need it.
NavyOne shows some good wisdom.

- From the “Oops” Department – General Motors, also known as the Glorious People’s Automotive Manufacturing Cooperative # 1, has announced that it will recall all of its Chevrolet Volt hybrids so that the area that houses the lithium batteries can be reinforced against damage. This comes as a response to an incident at the NHTSA where a Volt that had gone through impact testing spontaneously caught fire three weeks later due to damage to the batteries. My guess is that GM will put each of the Volts up on a lift, shove a Toyota Corolla underneath, then lower the Volt down. That should fix everything.
- From the “Good For Them” Department – The United States Navy has shown that the law goes beyond politics. During a time when Tehran and Washington are hissing and spitting at each other, a team from a U.S. destroyer freed 13 Iranian sailors from their pirate captors. One would hope that the Iranians would do the same for us.
- From the “Small Change” Department – A bill that is working its way through Congress would force the TSA to stop pocketing the money that is left behind at security checkpoints. Instead, the money would be given to the USO, a service organization that provides aide to service members while travelling and deployed. I support starving this particular beast, so I hope to see this come to fruition.
- From the “My Home is my Castle” Department – Squatters in Texas are trying to take over homes by moving in and filing paperwork with the state while the owners are away. Homeowners are forced to go to court in order to reclaim their property after coming home from an extended time away to find a stranger living in, modifying, and cleaning out their homes. Personally, I would be asking my representative from the offices of Ruger, Smith, Wesson, Taurus, Mossberg, and Remington to take care of the issue for me. They seem to be very persuasive.

Today is Armed Forces Day in our wonderful ally, Iraq.
So here’s to the Iraqi Armed Forces!
What a difference a couple of months makes, huh?

I’m convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority.

- It’s a good thing when your child is telling you to hurry up so he can get to school.
- It’s not going to be a good day when you have to pull off the freeway to stop coughing.
- A boss who understands that sometimes you just have to take a sick day is worth his weight in gold.
- A stiff dose of NyQuil, half a gallon of cold water, and some aspirin, followed by 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep, can do wonders.
- When you can’t taste anything, the best thing for you can be some salty tortilla chips and salsa. At least you can taste the salt and feel the burn.
- Hot apple cider on a sore throat is a wonderful thing.
- A doctor’s office that can’t get you in until the day after you call is not so wonderful.

- From the “Oops” Department – A sword swallower in Britain is recovering after a mishap in his act caused a four inch gash in his esophagus. In related news, the Consumer Product Safety Commission will soon announce a recall of all long, sharp implements to get their edges rounded off. They’re doing it for the children.
- From the “Makes Sense” Department – A city council in Arizona is asking a candidate to sit on the council to prove she can read, write, and speak English fluently. Apparently, in earlier dealings with city government, another member of the council has had to translate for the lady, so this may have merit. If she’s unsuccessful, she ought to run for Congress. It’s not like most Congressmen actually read what they vote for.
- From the “Low and Left” Department – A judge in Wisconsin has dismissed charges against a man prosecutors believed shot himself in the genitals when, as a felon, he wasn’t supposed to be in possession of a firearm. There are few details in the reporting, but even if the man is indeed guilty, I’m sure that the consequences of him having a firearm are worse than going back to prison.
- From the “TV Cliche” Department – A business in Fresno, California, had to have a towing company bring out their biggest truck in order to remove a car that had landed on their roof after an automobile accident. Police are reportedly looking for an erratic helicopter pilot, an older gentleman who smokes cigars, a pretty-boy, and a psychotic gentleman who likes weird haircuts and gold jewelry for questioning in the incident. Also being sought are two country boys from Hazard County and a man who drives a classic Trans-Am with a swishing red light on the front.
