Hmm. Tough day on Wall St. yesterday (not to mention London, Shanghai, São Paulo, Bombay, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Singapore – you name it). I’m afraid to even look at my retirement accounts. Not that there’s exactly a ton of money in there to begin with, but it’s still better to see it go up a little, than take a nose dive. Especially since it’s not like I’m putting anything into it these days. What the hell I was ever thinking with this grad school stuff is beyond me. Oh well, maybe March will be a better month. February sure was a tough one.
I’m beginning to despise Ed Schultz. Has anyone called him on showing support of outlawing military assault rifles for sports-hunting?
Look what happened to this hunter who mentioned that it was idiotic to use an assault weapon to shoot prairie dogs:

It would be funny if Big Eddie’s career collapsed in the same way.
North Dakota is full of prairie dogs.
Welcome to Florida, y’all. Just as long as you’re not DIFFERENT.

The redneck christofascist bigots in Largo (and there are lots of them, I lived there for three years) say that Stanton is not permitted to make a living in their city, despite years of outstanding job performance, because of his lifestyle. I say BULLSHIT.

I will be beginning an eight-week Toastmasters program at work starting the last week of March. There could be some interesting speeches coming up, because these days I have a lot to say. Maybe I should warn my co-workers. Nah… everyone loves a surprise, right? 😀
From the Sierra Club Currents newsletter. Because I could use a laugh this morning. And this is how desperate I am to get one. 😀

Thanks for the Sierra Club link
The question, then, is how do you achieve your goal of less dependence on oil without breaking your … hog farmers?†Bush said.
Good Morning :joe:
This guy has balls, even though he doesn’t want them anymore.
I know a trannie. She’s just tired of being a dumb ole guy. She dresses in frilly dresses to relax.
:fustrate: damn sprint broadband cant reach the dns server or some crap like that luckily there is crappy wifi to be found here……

Yeah, I wonder if this is the beginning of the end?
We just need a little Maron crumb of hope. 🙁
Yeah, a little crumby Maron. Well, Aspen is next week. Maybe the Maron/Wonkette show will catch on. We need to get Fred to head up there and report for us.
n the Middle Ages, new mothers in Rome could abandon their unwanted babies in a “foundling wheel†— a revolving wooden barrel lodged in a wall, often in a convent, that allowed women to deposit their offspring without being seen.
In the ancient foundling wheel, a foundling would end up inside a convent with a turn of the barrel.
Now a Rome hospital, the Casilino Polyclinic, has introduced a technologically advanced version of the foundling wheel — not at all a wheel but very much like an A.T.M. booth. For the first time a new mother left her baby there on Saturday night, and on Monday the child, a boy about 3 months old, was doing well, said Dr. Piermichele Paolillo, who directs the neonatal unit at the hospital.

The article mentions the derivation of 3 Italian surnames:
Many common family names in Italy can be traced to a foundling past: Esposito (because children were sometimes “exposed†on the steps of a convent), Proietti (from the Latin proicio, to throw away) or Innocenti (as in innocent of their father’s sin).
The former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration was ordered to pay about $90,000 in fines for lying about stock he owned in companies regulated by the agency. At his sentencing in federal court, the former official, Lester M. Crawford, was also given three years’ supervised probation and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service. Dr. Crawford pleaded guilty last October to having a conflict of interest and false reporting of information about stock he and his wife owned.

Remember him?
A staid confirmation hearing yesterday took an exciting turn when it gave Senator John Kerry the opportunity to confront a major financier of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a political group that maligned the decorated Vietnam Veteran in the 2004 presidential race. When the senator pressed Sam Fox, a businessman and Bush supporter nominated to be America’s next ambassador to Belgium, on the issue, the nominee admitted to Kerry “you’re a hero” and called for the government to ban all advocacy groups like the Swift Boat Vets.

Perhaps this will satisfy the need for a funny crumb.
Those pneumatic tubes at the bank drive-in work pretty good, too, but you really gotta work at stuffing ’em in the carrier (can’t wait too long, either; for adolescents, I recommend the recycle bin).
I’ve always thought that teens should be confined to a small hut until they become human again. They could be fed and given homework during this period. Release, of course would be conditional.
Druid, Farmerkat, where are thee?
Ow. Good thing they didn’t do this when I was in school (not that I was ever anything but a perfect angel, of course; actually, I rarely got in trouble – I was the kid that got other kids in trouble).
Man, Italy’s a tough place, I guess.

I’m confused. I thought we Irish were supposed to be the ones who ate potatoes and got bombed. :alc:
Italians are like Irishmen, except the vowels are on the wrong end of their names.

No, I meant cross dresser. There’s more of a commitment with Trannies, they’re headed for surgery. Cross dressers are like Ed Wood.
Grenades, potatos. Looks the same to a drunk Irishman! :slap: :tongue:
God, will this class never end? :jerk:
12. Yeah, I wonder if this is the beginning of the end?
Say it ain’t so PJ, say it ain’t so! :holla:
Trannys, cross dressers…Looks the same to a drunk Irishman!
Ha ha!
Watch out for the RIAA.
