RIP, Bernie Mac


A talented actor and a heck of a comedian.

He was only 50 years old. E! Online has the complete obituary. We'll miss him.

Sunrise in the Tetons


Papa B emails another photo from the road using his Blackberry.

Last look at the Tetons - leaving for Salt Lake City this AM.

Fires in Yellowstone


Papa B emails a photo from the road.

This one of the ongoing fires in Yellowstone National Park.

And no, Al: lightning caused it; not global warming.

Suffering from excessive sarcasm?


Now there's Sarcasma!

Remind me never to become a rock star


Judging by Eddie Van Halen, there are healthier professions.


That's just freaking scary.

Check out the new puppy!


So yesterday we took a road-trip to see our new puppy. On the interstate, we spotted a bunch of mattresses bouncing around.

Getting closer, we discover a sedan with three mattresses tied -- in haphazard fashion -- driving about 60 MPH.

The mattresses were bopping up and down and looked ready to fly away. I didn't stick around to watch the fun and accelerated past the rocket scientist.

Awww... look at the puppy!

It's a six-week old female standard (bred from champions, so we're told). This would be our second standard; our first is turning ten years old.

New Jersey Tourism Video


There's only one conclusion I can draw after watching the latest New Jersey tourism video.

Yep, that's right.

New Joisey's turning over a new leaf.

Flame War Response o' the Day


From CI (language warning):

VP_Spiro_T_Cheney: sorry, the f****** page won't even load.

WTF... I knoa they're short on $$$ but the McCain campaign can't afford more bandwidth???


StudSupreme: It's not my problem is your computer is a 10 year old junk box and you're still posting with a dial-up account.

Perhaps if you spent your college years studying science, math and/or engineering instead of 13th century Carpathian homoerotic romantic literature, and you were working at Intel or Broadcom instead of Starbucks or Safeway, you'd be able to afford a multi-processor water cooled Dell XPS710 in the study of your own California home instead of being camped out in your mom's basement in Topeka...........

Spiro T. Cheney's gonna feel that in the morning.

Exclusive Photos: Iranian Revolutionary Guards' terrifying new weapons


Undercover operative Deep Spackle emails us these pictures from an unknown location in Iran.

His Mullah's Ship (HMS) Jihad of Love, Iran's first nuclear aircraft carrier, embarks on a test voyage in the Strait of Hormuz.

HMS Martyred Teddy Bear, a guided missile cruiser, docks in a special slip at the military port of Bander-e Lengeh.

A squadron of Mahdi-15 Fighter-Bombers flies over Tehran.

High-powered Nuclear Suicide-belt cargo planes carry advanced weapons to a secret location.

A top secret photograph of the much-feared, experimental Ayatollah of Rockenrollah battle tank.

Terrifying!

Why I don't read the newspaper much any more


Finally! Justice is served!

And John Stossel says government can't do things better than free enterprise!

I won't hold my breath awaiting the results of this hunt.

That's a damn good paint job!

Followed by the meeting on new lighting that's held in the dark.

I'm more upset about NEPA's EIS on BNFL's RAPPI before DRUADs.

Go figure.

That's a brother for you.

It's a partisan issue, I'm sure.

I'll try to remember. I guess it was a slow day at the Poison Control Center.

Please call immediately if you've seen this... man... woman... insect...

Right after finding corpses in the mausoleum.

This is taking the principle of "More Guns, Less Crime" a bit too far.

I'd wager these guys took federal grant money to come up with this conclusion.

Ouch!

Waffle House Wedding


The Gwinnett Daily Post reports on a "Waffle House Wedding" (via Visual Consumer):

As the famous twang of Hank Williams Jr. blasted from an SUV stereo Friday afternoon, about 30 folks socialized, sipped soda and puffed on cigarettes... No, this wasn't a Fourth of July backyard barbecue. It was the run-up to a wedding... In a Waffle House parking lot.

The lucky couple, George "Bubba" Mathis and Pamela Christian - both 23 and employees at the Dacula diner located at the Ga. Highway 316/U.S. Highway 29 interchange - wouldn't have it any other way.











Check out the whole slide show at the Daily Post. I was moved to tears by the sheer beauty of the event.
