Kim Jong Very Ill. (Dead actually.)
December 19, 2011Kim Jong Il died at the age of 69. “What a shame” said absolutely no one outside North Korea. Not a great year for evil dictators. Shame the North Korean press release just said it was due to “overwork” and not “overwork fighting against the evil United States.” Though it might be a bit much [...]
Stumbling towards the weekend.
December 10, 2011Penn State’s “Office of Licensing Programs” issued a letter to vendors saying effective immediately “Penn State will no longer approve any designs featuring Mr. Paterno’s name, likeness, and/or image.” Shame when the abuse allegations first came to light that the university wasn’t so quick to sever all ties to Jerry Sandusky. – Rick Perry’s latest [...]
Another “Perry in the headlights” moment.

World semi-Serious.

Lebron would feel right at home.
October 24, 2011The Dolphins led 15 to 0 with less than three minutes to play, when Tim Tebow led an improbable comeback and the Broncos won 18-15 in overtime.

It’s 3am in Washington, D.C.

NFL – Never Finished (with) Lawyers?
