Mitt Romney campaigned with both of these guys today:
Donald Trump: “I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich.” 3/17/11
Sheldon Adelson: “I don’t take comments from anybody unless they’re rich. If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich? Now if they’re rich, then they must be smart.” 1/7/11
AMERCIA!

World historical moment.
Then they drove the stair-car to Mexico to find George Sr., and Gob did the chicken dance, and Tobias was still blue, and they left George Michael’s girlfriend Ann behind and didn’t notice.
I miss that show.

When asked about Amnesty International’s criticism, the UNSC replied that they would “Pwn u bitchezzz!!”
I don’t know why, but Mittens in a ball cap makes me laugh. I’m not sure what he’s watching though.
I leave it to you all to imagine what he’s watching and why he’s making that face.
I thought this was Ted Danson at first glance.
You know HBO eventually will make a movie of the 2012 campaigns. Ted’s people should make this happen.
“Fuelled by historic drought conditions, the wildfire season opened early this year in the rugged mountains of Arizona. By Friday morning, crews were fighting more than a dozen blazes in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, California and Utah. A few small towns were under evacuation order, and at least 170 square miles of brush and forest had been consumed by flames.
In New Mexico’s Gila national forest, fires started by lightening strikes tripled in size over the last 48 hours, with high winds forcing firefighters to the sidelines. More than a dozen summer cabins in the town of Willow Creek were destroyed as the fire burned across 110 miles of steep forested canyons.
Crap. I was living in a tent in the desert some 15-20-idunno-years-ago doing science stuff when the smoke would come rolling down the mountains every afternoon and we would cough ourselves to sleep and we would get up again the next morning and go back out because that was the job.
Can’t believe it’s gotten worse out there.
If you let one (truant student) run loose, what are you gonna’ do with the rest of ‘em? Let them go too?

Houston judge Lanny Moriarty • On his decision to sentence a 17-year-old honor student, who (since her parents divorced and both skipped town) has had to work both a full and a part time job just to support two siblings, to spend a day in jail, after she missed school recently. Diane Tran, who also takes dual-credit college-level courses, says that she’s often so tired that she finds it difficult to wake up for school. But that didn’t sway Moriarty, who chose to make an example of Tran. If you think this sucks, we direct you to this Change.org petition. To the parents and judge; What The Fuck?? (via swagandpassion) This is some pure fuck shit. You know good and damn well this was overkill. And now that is going to follow her the rest of her life. And for what? So you can feel high and mighty. (via inmyhead16) i was gon say I KNOW THIS AINT A WHITE KID. and of course she isnt. shes asian. of course. fuck this country. i cant. (via bad-dominicana) Can I rewrite the judge’s statement slightly? OK? —If you let one truant student go to school, what are you gonna do with the rest or ‘em? Let them go to school too?— Why, yes. That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do. It’s what the Constitution mandates, right in there with letting them have guns, they get to go to school. Even if it offends your religion and your political party’s platform, they should go to school. (I knew some of the kids whose parents were immigrant doctors and politicians who fled Asia {and other continents} in the 70s and 80s and yes their home life may have been a little wonky, but in some ways they were better Americans than the lazy people like me who were born into it.) |
