'Bushwhacked'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sheesh ita, it sure is.
I love how it's written by an Iranian and two ex-pat Iranians in Canada, for a Toronto paper, and yet is the fault of the U.S.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the United States and its allies on Wednesday of "hatching plots" to provoke ethnic tensions and destabilize Iran, a day after the government closed a state-run newspaper for publishing a cartoon that sparked riots by an ethnic minority.
Some people think that fake story was planted in order to drum up support for attacking Iran. Sorta' like the stories of Kuwati baby incubators being unplugged and babies dying back when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Canada wants to attack Iran?
It's all part of their plan for world domination.
Crafty Canadians.
It's gonna take a lot of mounties.
Ok, so my brother lives in Alabama right now and he's always pointing out weird shit he runs across that is sort of specific to AL. There is a billboard advertising this [link] site that he passes daily.
So.weird.
On the Monterey trip, we drove through farmland, which included acres and acres of strawberries -- you could see ripe ones from the car window even at 50 mph! I suggested that we pull the car over to the side of the road, jump out and pick a couple of handsfuls and drive off real quick, but nobody wanted to go for it....
That's only because "get away driver" doesn't fit in well with the rest of my resume.
Now, why would a bunch of crony-sucking Repug thugs suddenly rush forward to embrace a known liberal satirist? BECAUSE THEY DON’T REALIZE HE’S A LIBERAL!
Looking at the actual email, I don't see where they're getting any of that. It says the dude "crashed & burned on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report" and that he admitted that he made the movie to keep Republicans from winning Congressional seats. If that's an accurate summary, I'm not sure it's all that scandalous, but that's a different issue. The headline says "Colbert Cracks the Story..." blah blah, but dude. It's a headline. That's the only time he's mentioned. Does that really qualify as a salute, or a rush forward to embrace Colbert?
Wow. That's quite some website. I feel painfully stupid for not being certain whether it's real or just funning, but this is simply beautiful:
FIGURE SKATING RUINED MY LIFE
If the "Lifetime" network made a movie about me it would be called, "Because My Sister Had Skates...The Larry Pamper Story." See, growing up everything in our house centered around my sister "Fran's" figure skating. I always tried to be an athlete to impress my father but he never seemed to pay attention as he was too busy shuttling "Fran" and her figure skating girlfriends around. I remember very well how he couldn't help me practice for 8th grade baseball try outs because he was too busy helping "Fran" build a routine around that song "Manic Monday." I can still see her prancing around the living room singing.."Because that's fun day, my I don't have to run day" with my father encouraging her! It was around this time that I began to run with the wrong crowd and eventually turn to a life of crime. Figure skating can ruin lives. Please ban figure skating.
