Eight Things

Posted by TRO on May 1, 2008

1. Global Warming Could Stop Naturally In Ten Years - but don’t let that inconvenient news keep you from going green and starving a third-worlder.

2. I never had sexual relations with that Pastor.

3. Eight essential gadgets for the secret agent.

4. Ten worst job interview questions.

5. Facebook in real life. I’ve never tried it so I have no clue if this is funny or not. On the other hand, British accents always make things funny.

6. Today, (April 30th) is French No-Spank Day. Fortunately it was about spanking children, for the moment spanking brunette women on the bum is still allowed. Dodges a bullet there I tell ya.

7. “Youthful passion is really quite tedious.” Most of the tedious passion he is speaking about is the liberal kind, thank goodness.

8. Fort Bragg soldier receives Distinguished Service Cross - the second highest honor our nation offers its brave warriors. Another American hero mostly ignored by the liberal press.

PLUS ONE:

This blogger is very upset that a Macy’s buyer didn’t know what she meant when she asked about Macy’s “green policy.” I do find it amusing that the buyer didn’t know she meant environmental policies, but other than that I have the exact opposite reaction. I love that Macy’s isn’t concerned about green policy. In fact, while I have never shopped at Macy’s before, I am going to go out of my way to shop there from now on. Green policies are sometimes doing more bad than good. Yeah, yeah, I want to protect the environment (and do more than my share actually - if you only knew), but this type of obsession is not a good thing; obsessions rarely are.
