Is McCain Going Insane?

noreply@blogger.com (mdjohnson1) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:36:00 +0000

The debate last night highlighted lots of goofiness out of McCain. His persistently blinking eyes were exceptionally distracting. That "my friends" and his weird little dance at the end when he got up from the table, were just weird.

Funny stuff from around the web ... thanks to Gawker.com, DailyKos.

Separated At Birth? Or just weird semi-resemblance?

Funny Newspaper Ads / Clippings ... Screw Ups

noreply@blogger.com (mdjohnson1) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:12:00 +0000

Just wanted to show off a bit. Did I tell you my car is in good condition ... booyah ... YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!! BAM!

No problem .. that happens all the time ... I think ... what exactly happened?

The best part of the ad is not that the house has a dick ... but rather, that it's HUGE and great for ENTERTAINING. Yes ... I bet it is Shirley.

That dude must have the worst timing ever.

Damn right ... crazy shit happens when the rolling pins are out.

Wouldn't be much of a gun shop otherwise Mr. Federal Agents?

Brilliant. To avoid alligator attacks ... avoid alligators. To avoid getting laid ... avoid women (or men).

Ha. Yes. Works great with English speaking dogs ... but with non-native English speakers, you must talk more slowly and LOUDER.

Simple ... to the point ... and just kinda mean. Bitches.

You know this dude was all smiles ... and like ... hells yeah ... you know I take care of my ladies. Until the "correction" came out.

Sure ... I've shit a buck or two in my life ... but never an 8-pointer .. and never got my picture in the eff'ing paper. Damn. Good work yung bucky.

6 Freakiest Awesome Ghost Pics

noreply@blogger.com (mdjohnson1) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 19:41:00 +0000

The following are some unbelievable pictures of paranormal "ghosts". Most are fairly well believed to not be retouched (i.e. no photoshopped ... not disproven). Are they real ghosts caught on film??

6. A classic. This is an old picture of a guy who had just visited his mother's grave. In the back seat (just to the left of the driver), it is said you can see the ghost of his mother.

5. WTF is that half-dude on the right doing in this picture? By the way, this is not an old photo ... just a touristy old-timey photo where you put on a silly hat and scarf and hold a cap gun for effect.

4. You can clearly see the image of the man behind the close up on the left. It is said that it is an image of Freddy Jackson, who was a mechanic that was killed one day before the photo was taken.

3. Classic photo of "The Brown Lady" in Norfolk, England ... from 1936.

2. Sefton Church is in England. There was no body else in the church when this picture was taken ... But apparently, the dead minister had not finished his sermon.

1. And finally ... at number one. Grandpa's home. Apparently, grandpa had been long dead before he appeared in this photo with his former wife. This one gives me the chills. Apparently, he really looked like this ghostly image.

Quote from the Miss Teen USA contest:
"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for."

Second answer on the Today Show ... after extensive preparation:
“Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don’t know anyone else who doesn’t. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography.”

Editors comment:

Given plenty of time to prepare to re-answer the question that has brought her so much agony and infamy, she agains starts her answer with "personally" ... implying that there is an alternate way to state her opinion that is more impersonal. I might imagine that to answer more formal questions, she might begin her statement with "In my professional opinion ...".

Secondly, I am impressed to see that she has done the required research to determine that she. as well as her friends know EXACTLY (not almost ... but exactly) where the U.S. is on OUR map. Like a good lawyer, she has specified that the map in question is owned by her and her friends ... in the event that YOUR map is different than her map. If it is different, she cannot vouch for YOUR map's validity or for her or her friend's ability to identify the U.S. on said map. Perhaps on your map, they might be able to approximate the location of the U.S., but not identify it "EXACTLY".

Again, like the good lawyer, she challenges the statistics. First, she claims that she knows no one that is unable to identify the U.S. Since she apparently knows a statisitcally large sampling of people, this statistics in the question deserve some doubt. But, as she claims, IF the statistics are correct (note the big "IF") ... then we should emphasize geography. By this, I assume her request is for more emphasis on geography in the U.S. American educational system (but it is not clear to this fan, whether the request is to education "some people out there" in the US, or South Africa, or the Iraq .... it is still unclear.

Received via email from a friend:

Im selling one of my Barry Bonds rookie cards to the highest bidder. As an aside, I do not believe the steroid stories about Barry and believe he will be completely exonerated of all claims against him and land firmly in the Hall of Fame someday.

I am including a scanned copy of the card. As you can see, it's in mint condition.

Miami Condo Glut Pushes Florida's Economy to Brink of Recession

July 20 (Bloomberg) -- In the middle of the biggest glut of condominiums in more than 30 years, Miami developers keep on building.

The oversupply will force prices down as much as 30 percent, the worst decline since the 1970s, and help push Florida's economy into recession as early as October, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at West Chester, Pennsylvania-based Moody's Economy.com, who owns a home in Vero Beach, Florida.

``Florida is the epicenter for all the problems that exist in the housing industry,'' said Lewis Goodkin, president of Goodkin Consulting Corp. and a property adviser in Miami for the past 30 years, who also foresees a recession. ``The problems we have now are unprecedented and a lot of people will get burnt.''

``Have you been to Miami lately?'' Florida Governor Charlie Crist said at a homebuilders' conference last week in Orlando. ``It's like we have a new state bird: the building crane.''
