  • Fox News Foul-up

    So much for Fox News being the infallible news source that GOP Coggies portray it as being.

    Here we’ve got them reporting that “Russian jets circled US territory of Guam” –


    Original article here

    The article says that:

    The Air Force confirms that two Russian bombers on Tuesday circled the U.S. island territory of Guam, prompting U.S. jets to scramble and respond.

    Two U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter aircraft, operating out of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, intercepted the Russian Tu-95 bomber aircraft, which left in a northbound direction, said military spokeswoman Capt. Kim Bender.

    Except there’s one mistake – one that Fox News’ proofreaders and editors should have caught:

    The article title says Guam was buzzed by “Russian jets,” yet the Tu-95 Bear uses turboprop engines – the spinning props are plainly visible in the picture above.

    Thanks to “Laughing_Wolf” at Blackfive.net for the tip-off!

  • Washington’s (and My Own?) Birthd . . . Week

    Got this recently from The Daily Reckoning:

    The Daily Reckoning – Monday, February 18, 2013

    Greg Kadajski checking in today from Baltimore, Maryland . . .

    Dear Reader,

    Today is “Washington’s Birthday.” Well . . . not really. George Washington was actually born on February 22nd. But thanks to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act – the purpose of which you can only guess at – we now celebrate it on the third Monday of February.

    And so, in a sense, the US government now mandates that “February 22nd” actually fall somewhere between February 15th and February 21st of each calendar year.

    Yup . . . That seems in keeping with a governmental view of the facts.

    Considering that my own birthday falls into this same time frame (21 February), does this apply to me as well?

    Can I get a guaranteed day off with pay, as the Posties do every year for “President’s Day” ?

  • IQ vs Exclamation Points

    Ever notice that some on the internet can’t resist ending sentences with multiple exclamation points?

    And it seems that the people who do this also have problems with getting their point across in a clear, concise manner.

    That, and their postings usually have misspelled words, misused capitalization on top of the punctuation issues.

    Why is it that a person’s IQ seems to be inversely proportional to the number of exclamation points that they attach to the end of a sentence or question?

  • The New ABQ The Plan?

    Current mood: amused

    So while it seems that Mayor Berry’s Keynesian BS-and-blue-sky scheme titled “ABQ The Plan” seems to be on hold for the time being, it seems that there’s a concerned citizen “out there” among the populace ready to step up with a substitute plan.

    Why, the author of the transcribed pamphlet (see below) that I found today was even willing forgo getting the glory of authorship by serving as a ghostwriter for Mr. Berry!

    SOME

    GREAT . . .
    IDEAS . . .
    FOR . . .

    ALBUQUERQUE!

    by

    Albuquerque Mayor
    Richard J. Berry

    Hello! I’m Albuquerque Mayor Richard J. Berry, and it’s my pleasure to address you now, in this informative and boldly printed tri-fold brochure.

    I hope you are having a wonderful day, living and working in this wonderful city of ours – the Duke City – the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico!

    As you know, this lovely city we call home has been growing, and growing, . . . and growing! And it’s not as easy as it may once have been for a mayor to speak with all his voters.

    We hold regular town halls, yes, but not everyone can make it out to them. I often speak and take calls on 770 KKOB, the “Voice of the Southwest,” but, believe it or not, not everyone remembers to listen in!

    And so I came up with an idea – why not print up some nice, glossy, full-color booklets, for free distribution to the citizens of Albuquerque – booklets that describe, in detail, some of my ideas for the future of the city? And then send one to everyone in town! We have some money left in the P.R. budget, so why not?

    At first my staff agreed that this was a good idea, but once I began sharing my actual ideas with them, they thought perhaps maybe some sort of black–and–white brochure, quietly handed out only to a few of the really important voters would be a better format for all of these truly amazing ideas that I have. And, since they’re the experts, I took their advice. So here we go! Here are some of my . . .

    REALLY GREAT IDEAS . . .

    FOR . . . ALBUQUERQUE!

    by

    Albuquerque Mayor
    Richard J. Berry

    I. Infrastructure

    • More park benches.

    • More park trash receptacles.

    • More park bathroom facilities.

    • More handicap ramps and better handicap access for all parks.

    • Lease small areas of the city parks for various businesses to operate booths, selling needed items to needy park-goers.

    • More parks.

    II. Public Health

    • Outlaw masturbation in all parts of the city, even in private homes, except for in specially designated “masturbation zones.”

    • Convert all public city parks into specially designated “masturbation zones.”

    • Launch an extensive citywide advertising campaign reminding everyone to go on out and “Get in the Zone! Right now! Do it!”

    • Encourage people to turn in all private masturbators into the police. Remind people that if they don’t, they themselves may be suspected of being unlawful, private masturbators, their property may be seized, and they may face considerable fines and jail-time.

    III. Public Safety

    • Require everyone to masturbate in a designated zone / park at least once a day.

    • Build massive walled labor camps for all accused non-zone masturbators.

    • Create a new, highly-paid police force solely to arrest and imprison private masturbators, people fleeing the city, and all those who refuse to masturbate several times a day in the designated zones.

    There is hope for the city yet! With your help, I can forsee a future in which every Albuquerque survivor is either held securely in a work camp or happily masturbating in a park. Working together, we can do this! We can make this dream real! We can!

    Lyrics to Mr. Big Dick

    All right Mr. Big Dick

    Schoolly, I got to tell you, you get the best ass I ever done seen
    You got it to a total science

    Yeah man, we here tonight, we gonna talk about something
    Get straight to the point, some of us were talkin about it
    Straight to the tip

    1 – 2 – 3 . . .

    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?

    Hey Schoolly, tell me about your dick, talk about your dick
    Come on tell me about it. I want to hear about your dick

    Um, lookin at my dick it’s about that long
    For me to really answer it I’m a need another song

    Say some brothers who don’t realize
    That Mr. Big Dick is always on the rise
    To look at mine you need four eyes
    Why? Because of the size
    Me and Mr. Big Dick go everywhere together
    In the cold the hot any weather
    On the ave I always will hold it
    When it get big sometimes I will fold it
    All you girls with the big booties
    It is my duty to fuck you cutie
    Don’t be shy and don’t be slick
    Cause that’s the big question

    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?

    I was sittin in my Lincoln thinkin and stinkin
    See a young lady and my eyes start blinkin
    I say hey lady, you need a ride
    Before I finish, she jumped inside
    Lights in and I bust a nut
    As I look at them thighs and the big fat butt
    I looked a little closer and checked out her face
    I said damn Schoolly man what a disgrace
    I got this fat bitch in my ride
    I see my old money and I wanted to hide
    He laughed so hard he wanted to die
    I said you suckin dick, she jumped inside
    Took the girl for a ride out in the park
    Way way way way back in the dark
    I said now listen baby, act real flirty
    Get in the back and get your knees dirty
    Don’t act shy and act real slick
    Cause that’s the big question

    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?

    People say I’m vulgar they just don’t get it
    They’d rather have me stand on stage then try to rig it
    I’d rather meet a honey, pull out all my money
    Get back and say something funny
    Like don’t act shy, don’t act slick
    Cause that’s the big question

    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?
    Mr. Big Dick . . . who do you think you are?

  • Subject Line Length?

    Current mood: cynical

    The “hidden” meaning of the title should be self-evident.

    I posit that a posting’s title should probably be less than one line across the top of the field reserved for the title.

    Here’s the full title I typed in –

    Exactly How Long Should One Of These Subject Lines Last?! I Mean, Seriously, I Could Probably Get a Whole Paragraph Well Maybe Not A Paragraph But Definitely A Long Sentence. What Do Y’all Think? Is This Too Long? Maybe I Should Go On a Few Lines More? How Much Is Too Much Here? It Doesn’t Seem to Cut Off At 255 Characters, Like MS Windows Does With Filenames. How Many Words Should You Need In A Subject Line To Adequately Let People Know What The Topic Is All About?

    Here’s the error message that I received after I clicked “Publish Post” –

    We’re Sorry

    A problem seems to have occurred. Please correct the following:

         The Post Title is over 200 characters

  • Barack the Barbarian

    Current mood: amused     

    Well, folks, it looks like veteran comics writer Larry Hama has done it again – this time, he takes on “conventional” “left” vs. “right” politics with a special focus on The Barack.

    Web comic – samples of the comics published on paper, as linked to below:

    Issue 1 – From a far away land rises a mighty hero. The son of peasants from two different realms, the one known only as Barack protects the people of Hope Kingdom at all costs. Watch as he takes on the likes of Boosh the Dim, Red Sarah and Cha-nee the Grim in this hilarious first issue! Cover A / Cover B

    Issue 2 – Barack begins his assault on the Elephant Tower by entering the dreaded Labyrinth of Right Turns guarded by the Screeching Enchantress and her many-headed dogs. Meanwhile his other enemies plot and scheme and work their dire magicks.

    Issue 3 – Barack escapes from the horrific Pit of Punditry and battles his way past eldritch threats and byzantine obstacles to reach the pinnacle of the Elephant Tower whilst The Old Warrior and Red Sarah nip at his heels.  At the top of the tower Boosh and his evil vizier cast down spells and aspersions.

    Issue 4 – In the blazing conclusion of the first arc, Barack storms the citadel of the Elephant Cult at the pinnacle of their cursed tower to free the goddess held captive there by the evil despot Boosh and his nefarious Vizier.

    The Fall of Red Sarah – Red Sarah, wandering the Northern wastelands, stumbles upon the gates of a fabulous city on a hill, apparently deserted. Meanwhile, her least favorite barbarian finds another entrance to the same city. Neither suspects the secret horror guarding the city’s treasures, and neither will escape unscathed – if they escape at all!

    Articles covering the series at MTV.com and Wikipedia.

    Finally, for those who are just don’t get it, there’s He’s Barack Obama! to really drive the point home.
