Popular Science has published an article on the "World's 10 Worst Cities."
Associated Press:
The latest comments by Imus to come under scrutiny were aired on Monday's broadcast. During a conversation about Jones' run-ins with the law, Imus asked, "What color is he?" Sports announcer Warner Wolf said Jones — formerly known as Pacman — is "African-American." Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know." (Associated Press - June 24, 2008)
My submission:
"Remind me to check the fine print on those PriceLine deals more carefully."
This was miles above what the judges picked:
In honor of George Carlin's passing, here's his "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television from Class Clown:Good stuff!You know what the words are don't you (then without missing a beat):
- shit
- piss
- fuck
- cunt
- cocksucker
- motherfucker and
- tits
...and "tits" shouldn't even be on the list!
My entry is fair:
"Just take your time and tell me which one made you do it."
But the winners are lame:
Franky, NONE of them are better.
Lawmaker gets to the bottom of panties torture
...In a debate about the way detainees are treated at Guantanamo Bay, California Republican Dana Rohrabacher argued that it's not torture to make suspected terrorists wear women's underwear on their heads.
Rohrabacher was taking issue with FBI complaints about inappropriate and potentially illegal tactics used to get al-Qaida detainees to talk. He said interrogation-by-panties was more akin to "hazing," not torture
...Rohrabacher declared he would never apologize for someone putting panties on the head of a 9-11 terrorist.
Like Keith Olbermann, I've never understood the the appeal of diva columnist and all around mediocrity Maureen Dowd.It’s good news for Obama that Hillary’s out of the race. But it’s also bad news. Now Republicans can turn their full attention to demonizing Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama is the new, unwilling contestant in Round Two of the sulfurous national game of “Kill the witch.”But wait a minute, didn't Dowd herself spend the last few months tearing into Hillary Clinton?
Hmmm....Farley Katz doesn't sound like a REAL name.How To Win the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest
...you need to know the selection process. The first line of defense at The New Yorker is the cartoon editor's assistant, a twentysomething from Texas named Farley Katz. The cartoon assistant reads every single caption—at least 6,000 per week—and passes his favorite 50 or so to the editors, who narrow the list down to three. If you won't make it past Farley, you will never get your name in print. Knowing how he thinks is crucial. The astute captioner will note that he used to be a rollercoaster operator at Six Flags and a telemarketer. He is an outsider who has never trod in the cemented garden he protects. He had to look up "urban ennui" when he arrived in New York—he didn't learn it riding the subway for 25 years. Exploit the fact that Farley is working off the same stereotypes of The New Yorker readership as you are.
Normally, I would have taken MSNBC, the Democratic Party's answer to Fox News, to task for interrupting John McCain's speech yesterday to announce that they were projecting Barack Obama's winning of the delegates he needs for the nomination.The International Space Station commode malfunctioned last week, forcing the three ISS astronauts to rig up a still-troublesome bypass for liquid waste.'Here's a demo of how the commode is SUPPOSED to work.
Discovery is taking along a spare pump from Russia, which the two cosmonauts on the station are expected to install as soon as the shuttle arrives.
Until the repair is complete, the three-member station crew will use the shuttle's toilet -- or they will use extra emergency bags that Discovery is also bringing.
Asked in Sunday's interviews who would do the plumbing repair, [NASA astronaut Michael] Fossum said: "The fact is that the toilet is Russian hardware ... (but) if they need a hand and some wrenches we'll help out."
