Cowboy J's Friends

Anyone else think this past week has really shown what kind of character each of our presidential candidates have. While one is at a Cancer Summit/Conference in the US, the other is at a rock and reggae concert in a Germany. If a concert is the type of venues he chooses to campaign at, just think of what he'll do when he's in the White House. The Clinton years will look mild.

Bob Novak
Fact: Bob Novak hit a Pedestrian, while driving, in Washington, D.C.

Fact: He was chased down by a Bicyclist who saw the incident.

Novak claims that he never saw the pedestrian.

The bicyclist describes the pedestrian as "sort of splayed into the windshield.”

Novak once stated to the Washington Post, describing a jaywalker whom he had cursed at, "He was crossing on the red light. I really hate jaywalkers. I despise them. Since I don't run the country, all I can do is yell at 'em. The other option is to run 'em over, but as a compassionate conservative, I would never do that."

You be the jury, or if you feel that my presentation is biased (which it is) the Defense Attorney, does this man have any credibility left?

I'm hungry. I'm only in the mood for pancakes and scrambled eggs, but I have neither pancake mix nor eggs. What should I do about this?

Ack!
Pages 371-434 of the book I'm reading are missing! Just never printed into it! Wow, now *that's* a nifty printing error!

Babies Are Supposed To Sleep on their Tummies, Right?
I mean, if not, why else would the Antichrist flip herself to her stomach every single time she goes to sleep? Who else but the Antichrist, at One Month Old could cast aside both rolled-up towels sandwiching her onto her back and harness enough hip strength to flip herself to her fucking stomach? Are you kidding me? Now I know many of you think Obama has to be the Antichrist, but I have visual evidence in support of my contention:

Stomach sleeping, having cast off the obstructions:

Note that her blanket did not become untucked in this process. Unnatural abilities:

I'm not convinced she even breathes. Anyway, note the lack of concern. She knows she is in no danger:

Draw your own conclusions if you will, but don't claim you weren't warned. Sure, Obama seems like the Antichrist, but that's to be expected -- he's a fucking lawyer. Furthermore, he's too stupid to meet the requirements. Maybe I should try to get her baptised...

Villagers were shocked after a monkey-like piglet was born in China.

Curious locals flocked to the home of owner Feng Changlin after news of the piglet spread in Fengzhang village, Xiping township.

"It's hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!" Feng told Oriental Today.

He says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk.

Phillip Noyce to Remake Captain Blood

Phillip Noyce has signed to develop and direct “Captain Blood,” Warner Bros.’ long-gestating remake of the swashbuckling 1935 classic. The Academy Award-nominated pirate movie starred Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland and Basil Rathbone and was based on a novel by Rafael Sabatini. Set in the 1600s, it tells the story of a doctor who is convicted for treason against the King of England, sold into slavery and escapes to high seas as a pirate.

Here is who will not be in the remake:

Olivia de Havilland will not be playing Arabella Bishop

I am honored to be in your presence. You know your stuff. You are Irish in your heart. You probably talk like an Irish person after a few pints. You sing the rebel songs. You drink, and probably bleed Guinness. You may have even been interned in British Prisions. You impress (or annoy) all your friends with your vast Irish knowledge. If you are a female, I am in love. If you are a male, we are brothers. We should have a pint.

Barack Obama in Berlin

Reagan is worshipped by conservatives to the point of sainthood. he was often accused by democrats and liberals, including myself, of speaking rhetorically, without substance. this was justified, IMO, just as similar comments about Obama today are justified. Reagan's brilliance was in using rhetoric to inspire the general population, and then translating that rhetoric into policy using a carefully selected, extremely competent team. I believe Obama possesses the ability to have the same success.

anyone who pays attention knows that i prefer Obama's rhetoric to that of Reagan, for the most part, but that is not the point of my post.

i submit that the label of all talk no action used by conservatives against Obama is specious and hypocritical.

Casual Indifference.
Little in life looks as appetizing as the warm, viscous puked-up milk which a newborn showers her daddy in without first giving notice. Chest, shorts, desk, chair, floor, and my arm have all been decorated by our little angle with a chunky white glue. Her face betrays her perfunctory indifference to puking up her meal and puking on her daddy. I wonder if my eyes will reflect that same lack of passion when I take a giant shit on her request to borrow the car in 15 years.

Summertime Blues in Korea... Again...
Same shit, different summer.

The weather turns to shit: It's either suffocatingly hot and humid, or pissing down torrential rain, or suffocatingly hot and humid while pissing down torrential rain.

Summer vacation is a misnomer: Hey, kids! Happy summer to YOU! What? You think you can go to the beach, the park or pool with your friends and hang out and be KIDS? HAR HAR! This is KO-RE-AAA, you little bastards! We're gonna stick your asses in EXTRA LONG CLASSES/SCHOOL CAMPS all summer long, with even worse preparation on the part of Korean staff than during the rest of the year! Pay up, mom and dad! Gotta keep up wit' da Parks (Why, certainly! We're sending our kids to English, Math and Science academies all summer! Aren't you?)...

And, for my 3rd straight Korean summer, I'm entertaining notions of G'ingTFO as soon as this contract is up. Turkey or Portugal seem amusing destinations...

Expect little but hate-filled rants until mid-September when I take a 10 day vacation and cool off.

A fun aside: You may or may not be aware of a certain little territorial dispute between Korea and Japan over a handful of tiny, barren, birdshit-covered rocks in the middle of nowhere. But, it might be interesting to compare the tone of Japanese and Korean newspaper editorials on the matter.

Know What You're Talking About
This is an 8 part series. The 2006 Mortgage Bankers Convention. Peter Schiff addresses these guys. He basically tells them they're done. The guy given equal time says the economy is humming and Peter is blowing it all out of proportion.

I want you all to watch this and then tell me who you think knows (knew) what he is (was) talking about. This is part 7:

And this is pure awesomeness:

Housing Bubble Hall of Shame®
Who is responsible for the Housing Bubble? Policy makers, press, investors, wallstreet, mortgage lenders, builders, realtors, appraisers, buyers, flippers, sellers, ... ? They all had a hand in it, but lets pay tribute to some of the more notable or public displays of bubble mania.

Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religion based in San Diego, California and led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. The group's end coincided with the appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. Applewhite convinced thirty-eight followers to commit suicide, which he claimed would allow their souls to board a spaceship that they believed was hiding behind the comet.

Further, Heaven's Gate believed that the planet Earth was about to be recycled (wiped clean, refurbished and rejuvenated), and that the only chance to survive was to leave it immediately. While the group was formally against suicide, they defined "suicide" in their own context to mean "to turn against the Next Level when it is being offered", and believed that their "human" bodies were only vessels meant to help them on their journey.

More welfare!

I for one think we should limit all forms of aid. Then again, if we give welfare to individuals, firms could complain it isn't fair...

Greetings and Help?
Hello ... I just joined this community. I'm also pretty early on in my Russian studies and wondering if you all could help me with a translation.

I want to post this in Russian on my profiles on a couple social networking-type sites:
"If you are from Russia or speak Russian, say hello to me because I don't have much chance to speak the language and would like the opportunity."

Can anyone translate that into Russian for me? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

For You...
