A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable [...]

Disney, Hockey, Putin, and the Ice President

A brilliant parody of what Disney’s take on Sarah Palin would be:

And then there is this CBS version:

I’m really not sure which one is more frightening absurd!

No Frakkin’ Way

McCain and Tigh were both decorated pilots and wars prisoners that were tortured. They’re both crotchety old men, and McCain has had so much of his skin replaced, he’s practically artificial, like Tigh.

Stupid, Lazy, or Corrupt – You Decide

Thomas Friedman writes about how Denmark responded to the 1973 oil crises by becoming energy independent while growing their economy. In 1973 they got 99% of their energy from the Middle East, and decided that just wasn’t going to work for them. By raising taxes on fossil fuel and lowering income taxes, they created an [...]
