Short Of A Dozen Because I Ate Two For Breakfast

1. Starbucks closes 600 stores. Who cares. Dunkin’ Donuts makes better, less expensive coffee and well, they sell donuts. Donutsssss.

2. This story has two more reasons to vote for McCain in my opinion. One, that he grabbed a Sandinista leader by the lapels and two that it upset that moron Thad Chochran.

3. On the other hand here are two reasons not to support Obama.

4. First the Democrats said we needed to leave Iraq because we couldn’t win the war militarily. Well, the surge proved them wrong about that. Then they said, “Well, okay, the surge is working but the Iraqis still haven’t made any political progress.” Well, it seems they were wrong about that as well.

5. “If your religion thinks dogs are unclean, your religion is fucking retarded.”

6. Class tells and McCain has it. Angry, lapel-grabbing class, but still class.

“I kind of reacted the way I did because I have a reluctance to talk about my experiences, and I apologize for maybe being a little reluctant because I really believed that I served in the company of heroes: People like Bud Day and Robbie Riesner and Jim Stockdale and those people were much braver and better men than I will ever hope to be, but they inspired me to do things that I otherwise wouldn’t have been capable of,” he said.

“But I think that the overriding theme of this campaign, or message of this campaign, is that I will put my country first. I even had the opportunity to go home early because my father was a high-ranking admiral: I put my country first. I stayed because I believe my code of conduct called for it, and I believe my loyalty to people like Edward Alvarez, a Mexican American who had been there for years before I was, was more important than me putting myself in to go home several years before the end of my [time]. That’s probably the better answer and I — again, I am always reluctant to talk about these things.”

7. WALL-E is out. Most critics like it, some don’t, many because of its enviro-nut, anti-capitalism message.  I haven’t seen it, but my youngest son did and his reaction was, “heh.”

8. “Hip of glass.”  LOL! Come on, it’s a great line.

9. Man saves drowning bear. And then makes bear-skin rug out of it. Okay, the second part didn’t happen, but wouldn’t it be ironic if it had?

10. There’s an old sex joke told by men about “spinners.” I always imagined them a bit differently than this.
