* NextMedia gets behinds the scenes of President Obama psyching himself up for the SOTU:
Except they make Obama out to look somewhat like Blake Griffin.
* Only $1300:
Among its unique features? It has a web browser.
Seriously.
WTF?
They talk about “hang up and drive.” Perhaps the new motto should be get off the web and run.
Or try these — They DON’T have a web browser, nor a TV, nor any place to insert an SD card for you to listen to music. Just lift regularly and you get stronger. How primitive.
* “Don’t give up. Get a Plymouth Volare.”
Was Chrysler in the late 1970s a car company, or a suicide prevention hotline?
* This is one of the most important blog posts V-Dare has had in awhile. They’re all pretty good, but this one is exceptional.
If you follow one of the links, you’ll find out how Indians and Asians are able to do so well in spelling bees and geography bees, i.e. they massively prepare for them. There was a time in my life when I was so concerned, but then I grew up. You know how to spell every word correctly? Good for you. Most people use a dictionary, a word processor’s spell checker, or their web browser’s spell checker. And if an occasional misspelling makes it through, all in all is understood. They made their point. The only kind of adults who really get their feathers ruffled about the occasional misspelling are the obnoxious know-it-alls whose lives must be so charmed that a misspelled word is the biggest crisis in their lives. You know the capital of Ethiopia by heart? The names of the major rivers in the Australian state of Queensland that are now flooded over? You can place Geneva, Switzerland on a blank world map to the accuracy of the width of a human hair? Good for you. Most people used to break out a world atlas, now they use Google Maps or Wikipedia.
* An extremist Muslim Imam who called for the assassination of the Mohammed cartoons artist was caught trying to sneak into San Diego from Tijuana.
Jaziri had allegedly paid a Tijuana-based smuggling cartel $5,000 to take him across the border near Tecate, saying he wanted to be taken to a ‘safe place anywhere in the U.S.’
What’s disconcerting is that he thinks there are any “safe places” anywhere in the U.S. where he can hide. We’re supposedly in a war against these people — They ought not think they can hide among their enemy.
* And if he couldn’t get in by hiding in the trunk, maybe he can use the Mexican cata-POT, the flying high on cloud nine whatchamcdoobie.
* “But Bristol Palin wanted up to $30G — She would have been too expensive.” Coming from a school that now costs well over $50G and probably closer to $60G a year in tuition, room and board, books and supplies.
* If you turn KMOX on at 11 AM all this week, and you hear the Chang Limbang show, then you’ll know Leland Yee got his way.
* Amazing. There was anti-Semitism in England, and the Daily Mail isn’t even blaming the BNP.
* “Blackie O” studying the military’s physical fitness demands as part of her own “Let’s Move” initiative.
Disconcerting:
Drill sergeants now call out recruits who don’t put enough fruits and veggies on their plates, and hold hour-long sessions on performance nutrition to help them understand the Army wants “soldier athletes.”
“Soldier athletes.” What are they preparing them for? War, or an 18-game NFL regular season? And what are we paying hundreds of billions of dollars a year for? A real military, or gym memberships for several million people? Next thing you know, they’ll be buying the treadmills with web browsers.
And some headlines.
