Get Off My Lawn!

“It was a fine speech, but I didn’t hear any conciliatory remarks. I didn’t see any specific reference like, ‘I reach out my hand to the other side of the aisle.’” ~ Senator John McCain, spewing projectile diarrhea—as usual—from his oral orifice today.

It’s been four years, dude. You lost. Let it go.

Oh, and John? One more thing: GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Bizarre Fact of the Day

For those of you who aren’t veterinarians and don’t know this shit, did you know that birds cannot swallow without a gravity assist?

Yeah, they may be able to soar through the skies, but when it comes to swallowing, they’re pretty useless because they have none of the esophageal musculature that mammals have to actively push food down to the stomach.

Which raises the interesting question about dinosaurs…

That’s the reason NASA has never taken birds into space. No gravity, no swallowing.

This Reminds Me…

…of the nylon shorts that I used to wear to the pool when I was in my 20s. I’d cut the liner out and went commando. Those shorts got me into so much trouble.

I suspect these green shorts get the gentleman in the photo into just as much—if not more—trouble.

Or they ought to.

Just sayin’…

Finally!

It took us a while, but we finally got around to seeing Skyfall last night. We paid an extra $2 per ticket and went for the “VIP” seating at the Landmark theater where we saw it, and I have to say, it was worth the extra money just for the larger, more comfortable seats. We’ll definitely be returning to this particular venue; even non-VIP seats are treated to complimentary soda and popcorn.

I thought the movie itself was fantastic. I found the opening sequence and the cinematography in general to be absolutely stunning. In fact, of the three Daniel Craig Bond films, I think this one is the best of the lot.

All I can say is if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t waste another minute. Skyfall definitely makes up for the incoherent mess that was Quantum of Solace.

Yikes!

This is the temperature when I arrived at work this morning. But that’s nothing. It was 0℉ when I woke up. I think we had a high of 13℉ today.

It’s supposed to get into the 30s tomorrow. I guess I’ll break out the shorts and flip-flops.

“Go Ahead, Touch It.”

“Mary B. Moron, of Sarnia, OH was indicted today for multiple counts of child abuse and willful neglect. Her 5 year old son was recently photographed in the company of at least three known pedophiles, and no parent or guardian was present.

In the indictment, the state claims that Ms. Moron deliberately took her son to a den of pedophilia and criminal activity. Shockingly, she also left a large sum of her own money with the leaders of the criminal organization.”

Best AHS Scene EVAH

This will mean nothing if you haven’t been watching the second season of American Horror Story, but if you have, I’m sure you stood up and applauded Lana’s goodbye to Briarwood and Dr. Threadson.

And watching her later blow the filthy rapist’s head off was so very satisfying.

Fucking Insanity

Just when you think gun nuts cannot get any crazier…

From Talking Points Memo:

We know what people mean in a political context when they talk about “gun rights.” And the Supreme Court has now said that there is an individual right, though not an absolute one, to own guns. But now an NRA boardmember in Arizona is taking it to a whole new level—claiming the guns themselves have rights. Now Todd Rathner is threatening to sue Tucson police over yesterday’s gun buyback program, saying they have no right to destroy the guns themselves, despite the fact that the owners sold them ($50 gift certificate per gun) to the police to destroy them. In other words, the guns—not the people who have a right to own them—but the guns themselves, i.e., the metal and miscellaneous composites that make up the firearm, now have rights.
