Brunette Of The Week And A Ginger, Too**

Posted by TRO on May 14, 2008


Unknown woman in shower.


Blaze Starr

**  Sarah in the comments points out that Blaze Starr was a redhead. I knew this.  Really I did.  But I just saw the black and white photo and had a blonde moment and called her a brunette.  Not that she wouldn’t have made a great brunette.  But a redhead she was, which ain’t half-bad.

Two Big Things

Posted by TRO on May 6, 2008

Are happening today. The Indiana and North Carolina Democratic primaries that is.

These are very important, big things, people. Seriously. They are very big and they are very important and you need to pay attention to them. Up close.

And from different angles.

And try to separate the fake.

From the real.

Because real is better.

Much, much better.

***  I should note that I don’t think either one of the candidates running in the Democratic primary are real.  But the post doesn’t work without the fake or real thing so cut me some slack.

Quick Links

Posted by TRO on April 16, 2008

1. How Asians became white. I hadn’t realized they had, but that’s fine with me. Asian gals are all brunettes.

2. Obama boys are scaring Hillary girls. And Obama girls, too. Sexism is thick in the air mixed with the scent of the irony of Dems tearing themselves apart with identity politics. It’s so thick you can cut it with a knife. As the Political Junkie says, “I love this primary.”

3. Ten films banned in the 20th century.

4. Who said this?

“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.”

Why possibly the worst president we ever had, that’s who. What a dispicable man he has turned-out to be.

5. I love this old picture of Erin Gray.

*** I’ll try to add a few more later today. Busy.

The Language of Love

Posted by TRO on April 11, 2008

Well, if not the language of “love,” certainly the language of “I’d hit that.”

Is John McCain A Cylon?

Posted by TRO on April 11, 2008

If so, then I, for one, would welcome our new robot overlord. I really don’t need a new savior and I already have a woman telling me how to spend my money so what use is Hillary?

In related news - if related means I didn’t want to waste a whole post on this - McCain has erased Obama’s lead in a new poll.

Listen Up Jews**

Posted by TRO on April 9, 2008

You better support Obama or we won’t be your friends anymore. (NOTE: They pulled the post from the Obama’O8 site. Predictable and typical. And what I quoted down below was just a quarter of the ranting that was there. A link to screenshots of what was posted in total down below in the update.)

Enough is enough.

America has suffered enough of Clintonitis.

Americans have spoken loud and clear: they do not want political business as usual that Clintonitis represent.

They want change and they want it fast.

They have chosen and anointed Obama as the agent of change.

He is the new political Messiah who shall continue where JFK stopped.

Americans seem to be in slumber and in complete denial of the present dangerous and volatile world situation.

This is where Jews can help.

By supporting Obama to win, they would cure America of Clintonitis and thereby be able to find a permanent solution to the Arab-Jewish problem in the Middle East.

Jews must support Obama or face grave consequences. You cannot afford not to.

Africans have been nice and helped Jews for more than 2000 yrs.

Now, I say to Jews all over the world, it is time to show your gratitude.

Well, now, if I were Jewish that would certainly sway me. I just love friends who threaten me if I don’t do what they say. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

This is posted on the official Obama’08 website, which I assume means he approved it. If so, how sad. If not, does he have any control over anyone in his own campaign?

I’m not sure how long it will be up, though, once people start hammering him on it. So check it out now. There’s lots more.

Hat-tip to Ace.

UPDATE:

They pulled it from the site. What did I tell you? However, if you want to see screenshots of what this anti-semitic screed looked like check em out over here. (Click the link and then scroll down some to see links to the screenshots.)

** BTW, I don’t like this title. It grates on me for some reason. But it conveys the attitude of the moron who wrote this now “disappeared” post over at Obama08.

Get Your Red Hots Here

Posted by TRO on April 9, 2008

1. Michelle Unbound. Best line, “I’m constantly reminded that I will never be smart enough to be a Democrat.” I know the feeling.

2. The Ten Most Hated People on the Internet. I don’t know many of them, and it’s a shame that one is a military member (although he deserves the scorn), but I wish Rachael Ray were higher than number 10. She makes brunettes look bad. And no wonder her voice is so raspy - she is a chain-smoker.

3. The French do love their fries. Eco-friendly since you could bring it with you when you go to McDonalds.

4. General Petraeus kicked Democrat butt yesterday. Well, that’s my interpretation anyway. What he did was answer every question they had with facts and reason and watched them make fools of themselves giving speeches about surrender. If you’re interested The Global Times has lots of video.  Just scroll down to see them.

5. And they say guys have weird shower habits.

6. Computer programming languages and their celebrity equivalents. I guess computer nerds will get this. I got some of it, which means I am only half-computer nerd. (Via Southern Appeal)

7. Navy Seal is awarded the Medal of Honor. I posted about this before, but it is worth repeating.

8. Yep, this is about as interesting as a cat gets, alright.

9. Neil gets a haircut. I cut my own. An old military habit. Saves me a lot of money, too.

10. Babies. Or little pink aliens. I am not sure which. Cute either way.

Get Me More White People

Posted by TRO on April 8, 2008

Every time I promise myself I am going to take a break from posting about Barack Hussein Obama, I end up breaking it because of stuff like this.

While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”

Yes, but were they “typical white people?”

For a couple who claim they want to “transcend” race, they sure do keep bringing it up - and in the worst possible ways, too.

QUICK UPDATE:

Forget transcending race, one wonders if Michelle Obama can just stop being such a crybaby.

Brunette Of The Week

Posted by TRO on March 19, 2008

So, like, Ace had this big post titled “Blogging While Female” which generated a lot of discussion and at least two follow-up posts, but which I never fully understood because I got into it late and couldn’t figure out much about it except that it was about the objectification of female bloggers and had this really nice photo of a brunette.

I don’t know who it is - one of the gal bloggers or just a model - but she is certainly Brunette of the Week material.

What’s Offensive To Christians?

Posted by TRO on March 16, 2008

Praying for nice hair evidently.

Hair styling company GHD has been ordered to pull TV ads that use Christian imagery combined with ‘eroticized’ images of women.The ads show women praying that they will get a man because of their beautiful hair.According to Brand Republic, the first ad showed a woman wearing lingerie, sitting on the edge of a bed with beads clasped in her hands. The woman looked upwards and her thoughts could be heard in Italian. On-screen the text read: “May my new curls make her feel choked with jealousy”.Another spot showed a woman lying on a bed with bright light shining through a skylight. She looked upwards towards the skylight and her thoughts could be heard in Swedish. Text read: “May my flirty flicks puncture the heart of every man I see”.In all three executions the text “GHD IV thy Will Be Done” was present at the end of the ads, with the letter “t” appearing as a cross.

The Archdeacon of Liverpool and 22 members of the public objected that the ads were offensive to the Christian faith, particularly the use of the phrase “thy will be done” from the Lord’s Prayer and the depiction of the letter ‘t’ as a cross in ‘thy’

Compared to these two things, these ads are nothing. Heck, they are nothing when compared to nothing.  Who doesn’t pray for all sorts of silly things? We have bigger things to worry about.

Besides, that brunette is hot.

Just Another Reason To Wear A Burka, I Guess

Posted by TRO on February 25, 2008

Yeah, because people often discriminate against pretty women.

“I mean, nobody else really on the plane looked like us, except us,” said a very blonde Sarah Williams. 

There’s a video, but WordPress won’t let me embed it - ugh.  Check it out.
