Name that pose

Time to bring this blog back from the dead.


Among the calisthenics my daughters are doing for their cross country ski team is a yoga-like pose that looks a lot like "downward dog", but has one leg up.  My sons and I were doing it last night, giving the only appropriate name possible, much to my daughters' disgust.

Van Jones Town Pitchforks!

As Pat the Pernicious Peevish Girl has now officially claimed:

"The commenter formerly known as K-Rod"

Oh my!!!!

Oh shit, was there a bounty on K-Rod? Is K-Rod dead?

What would Swift do?

Obama mandates a volt in every garage; on your dime.

First the Liberal Fascists ordered:
"you have to pass the bill to find out what's in it."

ObamaCare forces citizens to purchase a specific product, in this case health "insurance"... The penalty of breaking this law could range from a fine/tax or even possible imprisonment...

When challenged, the Liberal Fascists now say 'don't act now, just wait and see how ObamaCare unfolds'...

Because they know that once its roots take hold you will never get rid of it no matter how much it hurts our country!

Needlework

The Local: "A 32-year-old took the needle into his hands when he tired of the wait at Sundsvall hospital in northern Sweden and sewed up the cut in his leg himself. The man was later reported to the police for his impromptu handiwork. “It took such a long time,” the man told the local Sundsvall Tidning daily. The man incurred the deep cut when he sliced his leg on the sharp edge of a kitchen stove while he was renovating at home. “I first went to the health clinic, but it was closed. So I rang the medical help line and they told me that it shouldn’t be closed, so I went to emergency and sat there,” the man named only as Jonas told the newspaper. After an hour-long wait in a treatment room, he lost patience and proceeded to sew up his own wound. “They had set out a needle and thread and so I decided to take the matter into my hands,” he said. But hospital staff were not as impressed by his initiative and have reported the man on suspicion of arbitrary conduct for having used hospital equipment without authorization."

Here's the kicker:

"While Jonas admitted to the newspaper that he has no prior experience of sewing up himself he sought to play down the fuss that his handiwork has caused, arguing that "through the ages people have always sewn themselves up"."

This man will have a wonderful story to tell his grand kids. "Ya know, back in my day, they wouldn't even give us the needle and thread to sew ourselves up, we had to take it! And then sew it! And then be thrown in jail for it! Bah...."


All things considered, this is better then some of the horror stories I was hearing at the ER on Thursday night, one barely on the US side of the Mexican border. Men were not meant to have intestinal surgery and be taped back together with duck tape, nor is yarn meant to be for stitching. 

Hey Man, Pull My Finger

Yep, it's time for a GOM caption contest. What's your take on this exchange between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada?

Vulgar Bill, indeed it is, Mr. VP.

Vice President Slo Joe Biden said the ObamaNationHeathCareTakeover bill is vulgar:

Big F***ing Deal



No Class!


Will this get as much media coverage as telling Leahy to go Cheney himself?

Will the FCC fine and censor Biden?

The Democrats put down the microphone

And grab the Vaseline:

After a day-long White House summit on healthcare, Republicans returning to the Senate said that President Obama and the Democrats appear ready to go it alone on this issue.

“They’re not interested in putting a 2,700-page bill on the shelf,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, referring to GOP demands that the president start over with a step-by-step approach, focusing on issues on which there is broad agreement.

At the end of the summit, Mr. Obama said, “I did not propose something complicated just for the sake of being complicated.” He added, “The reason we didn’t do it is it turns out baby steps don’t get you to the place where people need to go.”

Let me give you a hint, Mr. President. That place "where people need to go"? Don't go there.
