More Snippets . . .

Nabisco is rushing to market with Nappi-Headed Ho-Ho's. There is a photo of the product on the cover. They will cost 79 cents more than regular Ho-Ho's.

The Global Warming Church of America has issued a proclamation that the record cold temperatures and snow falls are actually PROOF of Global Warming and if members don't accept this on faith, there will be consequences. Pope Albert the Gore signed the proclamation, but could not be reached at Church Headquarters. Calls to the Headquarters asking interviews have not been returned.

Don Imus has challenged Rev. Al Sharpton to a duel of integrity. But as Rev. Al is completely unarmed advisors convinced him to just keep talking. On a related note, Rev. Jesse Jackson released to the press an announcement that he is praying for Don Imus and hopes that Mr. Imus will open his heart and receive Jesus as his personal savior. That's it... no punch line...

America still cares about money. So corruption is pandemic and ethics are only considered if the price is right. The meek shall inherit the earth, but not the mineral rights, air space rights or the right to build. Amen.

Radical Democrats and Radical Islamofascists are able to intermarry and produce offspring.

How come no one went to bat for Moslems when calling them all "rag heads" and "towel heads" was the rage? And how come CBS just didn't announce, "Don Imus's opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of CBS Radio Network" and let the FCC do it's job of policing the air waves?

How can two American U.S. Senators propose to 'bail out' homeowners who can no longer afford to make their mortgage payments? What kind of special insanity is that?

Oh, you are bad, Bert.

Would have thought you were a global warming believer...

I can just picture the children of demislamofascists!

Global warming is real. Calling anyone names simply proves that the name-caller has no imagination, especially when the name caller is a stinky dumb stupid-head poopy Republican. Predatory lending should be outlawed and anyone who charges more than 18% interest should be deballed, though I'm not sure we should be bailing anyone out...

I need coffee. Ooh, CCR is on the radio.

As I was sitting here (in sunny SoCal) freezing my butt off waiting for Global Warming to kick in and reading your fine post, I was just thinking:
I wonder how Don Imus is gonna do on XM...
Hmmm, Son of Al Gore (and #15 sister of Osama B. Laden) with a firecracker strapped to the bumper of his hybrid limo...
Idiots over-borrowing, bailed out by other over-borrowing idiots...

I'd like to propose a program where the government makes down payments for those of us who can't afford a house so that I can then not afford a mortgage payment, and be bailed out by this already-proposed program?

Incognito & Chris, I believe in climate changes. I've actually seen it! While it is within my capacity to believe that humans can have an effect on climate, I don't see it as at all hazardous to the Earth. Species come and species go; the Earth has seen it all...

Pistols, some day, gawd willing, there will be cradle to grave 'binkies' for us all.

Chris the Hippie said...

I want a binkie. I want a binkie now.

I don't have too many worries about the Earth - it's just what lives on the surface of it that's got me a tad bit concerned... But polar bears notwithstanding, I feel we have an obligation to do what we can to reverse global warming even if we're not the cause of said warming simply because it will be LESS costly for future generations to live carbon-responsible lives than to relocate major infrastructure out of new flood zones....

I'm off my soapbox now. Anyone got a beer?

Bert Bananas said...

Chris, I'm all for people on soapboxes. Don't step off until you want to.

Empirically I can get vouch for my intellectual desire to get behind reducing mankind's 'carbon footprint.' But pragmatically, I, like everyone else I know, would rather that someone else bite the bullet and stop driving their gas/diesel powered vehicles. It is a literal slap in the face fact of life that for every person here in America who trades in an SUV for a Prius, there are 14 Chinese & Indian families trading in a peddle-powered vehicle for a gas/diesel engined vehicle. 14 to 1... And this ration will continue for at least another 53 years, 4 months and 17 days, at which point there will not be enough oxygen in the air to support combustion. Everyone in the world will have an oxygen tank, just like your emphysemic Uncle Jake does now. Luckily by then each home will have it's own Iranian brand nuclear reactor powered matter converter and no one will have to work.

And the choco-rations are being raised to 25grams per week, and we've always been at war with Eurasia.
And gas prices are going up simply because those poor princes can't afford their table cloth headdresses anymore without a raise in oil prices...and Bush isn't financing the war through gas prices, and he's NOT building a pipeline across Iraq... and our kids aren't dying to guard the pipeline that's not being built across Iraq....
double-plus good!!
