Pun totally intended! Okay, something light in preparation of my impending trip to the mainland to completely destroy Pam and Mike’s doors install new doors for Pam and Mike:

If it weren’t for the fact that I have the portfolio and references to back up that I absolutely know what I’m doing when it comes to construction, I would never admit that I have done most of what is listed in the right hand column of this article, especially with the tape measure, plane, pencil, saw and hammer!

In fact, the nice thing about having as much building experience as I do is that it lets me use a rock and a screwdriver for a hammer and chisel because I am too damned lazy to go to the Knaack box and get what I really need, and all that my associates on the job will do is shake their heads and roll their eyes. At least I have something to show for all those years…people leave me alone for the most part, even at the job I have now, as top-heavy as it is with managerial types.

No, REALLY – YOU SUCK!

According to figures from the House historian’s office and the Congressional Research Service, the last time a party’s nominee for speaker lost that much support was in 1923. On the first ballot that year the GOP’s nominee, Frederick H. Gillett, saw 23 lawmakers support other Republicans. Mr. Gillett still ended up winning the speakership on the ninth ballot.

Nancy’s delusional take?

“We’re excited about the votes I got,”

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Exciting!

Something tells me this is the last time Pelosi had anything close to exciting happen to her:

CRACKED.com, usually a bastion of libtarded writers, has one contributor who makes an astute observation regarding the Tea Party:

But the truth is …

It wasn’t a joke.

For all those wackjob birthers captured on film wearing frilly lady blouses and triangle hats, there were thousands of ordinary people just living their lives, being regular, and not liking how their Republican Party had turned out. And even though Tea Party members tend to skew toward older, middle-class white guys, their overall demographics aren’t that far from the rest of the country. Of course, regular people are about as riveting as dry toast, so they didn’t get much screen time. Which is why it came as such a shock to everyone when 32 percent of Tea Party-affiliated candidates won their elections.

Damned straight. As one who has attended several Tea Party gatherings, I found the average person I spoke with and observed at these rallies to be quite normal, just plain sick and tired of being almost literally taxed to death.

I have watched with increasing ire as the media has painted this movement as one infused with nothing but morons and ignorant rednecks, and I have to wonder why more people on the Democrat side are perfectly happy with our government taxing them into oblivion while they struggle to make ends meet, especially as we hear more and more about how are money is being wasted on fat cat politicians, pork-barrel spending and undeserved entitlements.

I hope Florida offers this plate soon. I’ll be one of the first to get one.

for our ever-vigilant friends at that stellar brain trust we like to refer to as the Transportation Safety Administration!

Holy Barackshit! This has to be one of the most bizarre concepts I’ve ever seen…

Cracked’s 5 Insane Barack Obama Comic Books You Won’t Believe Are Real.

A comic book about Barack Obama?!?

Is casting Barack as a comic book superhero the stupidest way you’ve seen yet to glorify this complete doofus of a president?

It’s about time the Dems caught up to what a lot of us have been thinking since the Obamanation started:

One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f— the president” while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.

“It wasn’t loud,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.”

Oh, so I guess it doesn’t represent any kind of schism in the Democratic party between lawmakers and their anointed choice for POTUS. And the fact that it wasn’t loud makes the use of such profanity during such proceedings acceptable. No hypocrisy from the Left, as usual. If a Republican lawmaker said that at any volume, and it was overheard, the hue and cry would be heard from one end of the world to the other.

The anger aimed at the bill was widespread. As Democrats moved to block the bill from coming up on the floor, chants of “Just say no!” could be heard by reporters outside the room.

Nothing to see here, just our objective media at work again…

Does anyone else find it odd that an award so named even existed in the first place???

Wayne State University, the Detroit, Michigan, institution that Thomas graduated from in 1942, said in a statement Friday that the school will no longer give out the Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media Award.
