Reason #765,556,567,000 Why I enjoy Andrew Malcolm’s writings.

Heh!

Thank goodness The Times is the forthright, ethical institution that it is.

And when a mistake happens, it rushes to set the journalistic record straight with an honest repair.

Here is an actual correction from Page A4 of today’s print edition:

FOR THE RECORD

TV listings: The Prime-Time TV grid in Thursday’s Calendar section mistakenly listed MTV’s “Jackass” show on the MSNBC cable schedule at 7 and 10 p.m. where instead MSNBC’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” should have been listed.

It’s not the Worst Mistake in the World.

But without this kind of correction, online too, a few thousand people might have tuned into MSNBC, the Obama administration’s favorite cable channel, expecting to see a “Jackass” show, and instead they’d have found Olbermann.

Worse, what if nobody noticed the difference?

Good question, that dude; in my opinion, has become a partisan parody of real Political commentary since Obama took office.  I venture to guess that not many people would have known the difference.

Obama’s Wee Wee Redux

Posted on

The White  House trying to explain Obama’s little wee wee comment.

“It’s a phrase I use,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today, hesitating at his press briefing to offer a physical demonstration of the phraseology.

“Let’s do this in a way that’s family friendly,” Gibbs said. “I think ‘wee-weed up’ is when people get all nervous for no particular reason….

“August of 2008, everybody was nervous about whether the entire presidential campaign was slipping out from the hands of the president,” Gibbs said, turning the page to this August, in which all the president’s critics are declaring his health-care initiatives in peril. “This is sort of an August pundit pattern of people getting overly nervous about something that has a long way to go…

“Bedwetting would probably be the more consumer-friendly term for it,” the press secretary said.

I’m not sure what is more funny, watching Obama making the funny comment or watching Robert Gibbs trying to explain it! 😆 😛 😀

Oh to be a fly on the wall in the oval office after that presser. 😉

“Wee Wee? Why the hell would you use a term like that?!?!?!?”

I saw this over at HotAir, but I really do not like trackbacking to those guys all the time. So, I passed on it. But it’s around; So, I give you a funny video. It’s a Steven Crowder video, with guest star Zo.

If anything it is funny because of Crowder’s goofy laugh, not to mention watching these two guys attempting to dance. 😀

Just a side note, speaking of funny. Check out IMAO. If you like teh funny. IMAO is the place for you.

A little horn tootin’

Posted on

Not to toot my own horn or anything.  (Toot! Toot! 😆 )

But I just noticed something. I got a mention on a major political magazine’s Blog.

It is over at the Atlantic’s Blog called the Atlantic Wire.

It was about my posting on the boneheaded idiot who brought his gun to an Presidential Appearance.

You can go see it here.

It kinda makes me feel, like this guy here:

Click on this link and watch the video and you’ll see what I mean. Not bugs, the other guy in the video. 🙂 I have varied feelings, The 0:37 and the 6:42 marks in this sum it up.

Video: Ed Driscoll Interviews Chris Muir Creator of Day by Day

Posted on

As some of you might know. I carry Chris Muir’s online Blog Cartoon called Day by Day. Ed Driscoll interviewed Chris on his show called Silicon Graffiti.

Here’s the Video:

On a personal note; I have been reading Chris Muir’s online comic, since I started blogging in December of 2006; as a left of center Blogger. I thought it was great then and still do. I recommend all Conservatives and liberals with a sense of humor, to read and possibly embed on your blog, Chris’s comic.

Good Job Chris! Keep up the good work! 😀

Video: Go Flag Yourself

Posted on

Personally, I think this idea is not too bright. Mainly because it is encouraging to submit their e-mails to the United States Government. Which, quite frankly, I am not interested in doing. But it’s a noble idea; I guess.

The very funny thing is, that Pajamas Media is Jewish owned and operated and, you guessed it, is very “Neo-Conservative” it’s foreign policy. We traditional Conservatives know, that most Wilsonian Republicans and Conservative are kind of down with idea of Big Government; Just ask George W. Bush,  so, submitting their e-mail addresses just sort of confirms that.

Anyhow, here’s the funny video:

The Address, for the spambots is flag@whitehouse.gov

Again, that address is flag@whitehouse.gov

Another Funny Blog Posting

Posted on

I just love reading other people’s Blog. You read some of the funniest stuff sometimes. This time it is Robert Stacy McCain:

BTW, Cynthia called me this afternoon to say she was going to a townhall meeting with Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.).

“What should I ask him?” she said.

“Look, you’re well-informed on the issues. Just pay attention to what he says, and what questions other people are asking, and I’m sure you’ll think of something good to ask. . . . You’re a natural-born troublemaker.”

She was in kind of a hurry and said she didn’t have time to take a shower before going to the meeting. So I figure if Cardin gives her the run-around, the headline will be:

SENATOR FLEES SWEATY LESBIAN

I’m anticipating Cynthia’s report.

via The Other McCain: Billy Mays was a cokehead?.

ROFL! 😆

I do not think that I have laughed that hard in a while. Thanks Mr. McCain I needed that laugh. 😀

I do believe that this one approaches the comedic level of Tammi’s Blog posting. The first one, that is. 🙂

The Two Sides of Tammi

Posted on

First there is the funny. This, I feel is the quote of the year; or at least the month!

Finally back at the office we’re finishing up one of the reports in my office. Now, I’m right on the street side. Every damned semi that drive by sounds like it’s coming THROUGH my window. One time, it was particularly loud and my guy jumps.

Him – Damn….that’s annoying as hell.

Me – yeah…figures. Only I would be given an office with a vibrator.

It was at that point I announced it was time for everyone to go home. I had completely lost my ability to think or speak clearly….

via Tammi’s World: Tidbits.

Then there is the completely serious and quite sad, of Tammi.  It is the story of how Tammi lost her Dad. I read this originally in 2005, when Tammi first posted it. I nearly lost it then and I still get misty-eyed when I read it. Tammi’s a tough lady; she’s been through royal hell. She has my respect.

It just shows you how someone, who has been through hell and back, can have a good sense of humor. I God Bless her for that. 🙂

Answering Matt Mullenweg’s Snark filled Rant

Posted on

Matt Mullenweg and I have had words in the past.  I am sure that he is a great guy; but there are times when stuff comes out of his mouth; well, in this case, from his Keyboard, that send me into a rage.

Instead of getting angry and flipping my cork on him. I figure I will answer his Blog posting on the things, that I am assuming that he finds highly annoying.

…and off we go!

There have been a number of new platforms popping up recently that claim to increase your user engagement, get you more comments, increase your traffic, and more, through means that I consider short-sighted and harmful. Since people seem not to mind, I thought I’d write a guide for how to increase the number of comments you get by 400-1,000% and ruin whatever shred of community you had on your site.

Man…. you think we can get a bit more snark in there, please? 😉
