Happy Burger-Free Day
Or as some say…HAPPY THANKGIVING!

Occupy This
I have been forwarded secret documents from Massachusetts Senatorial candidate and former Obama advisor Elizabeth Warren’s plan for the “occupy” movement. You may recall she took credit for the movement,
“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do. I support what they do.”
The documents that came into my possession show the process or “intellectual foundation” for how the Occupy Wall Street movement decided what to occupy.

That didn’t work since Big Bird and Company are billionaires…

America’s Gone Soft?
I perhaps the greatest example of the pot calling the kettle black…
“I mean, there are a lot of things we can do. The way I think about it is, you know, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft…”

With the political climate so heated and UNINSPIRING I thought this story was well timed.
It’s A Burgh Thing
If you are not a Pittsburgher you’ll still find this funny, but not as much. You may recognize a little Dennis Miller to the comedy. It is best enjoyed by someone that grew up in the city and even more if you have a few decades under your belt. Pittsburgh’s Jim Krenn…

Department of Innovation
Try to imagine a dozen Obama-acolytes sitting around a table for hours discussing the new agency, The Department of Innovation. It’s now been three long weeks that they have been toiling away when one jumps up and exclaims, “I’ve got it!” He rushes to the smart board and hurriedly scribbles his idea for the others to see. They are paying close attention to the Harvard law graduate as his vision starts to take shape. As he steps back all eyes are looking at his vision. A Phd in economics from Yale pipes up and suggests that some stars be used somewhere that would make it look patriotic to fly-over country. A woman with a doctorate in gender studies from Princeton suggests yellow might be a powerful color to add. After a few back and forths they are quite pleased with themselves and hand the product over for final editing. There were no jobs created. They spent thousands of dollars. The only innovation was the logo…
Landscaping Through Life
St. John's Wort on the left - Crown Vetch on the right
A few years ago my in-laws built a new cabin on Deep Creek Lake. This would be the third cabin dating back to when the lake was first formed to generate hydro-power. There is a small slope between their lower driveway and the lawn that leads to the lakefront. It never really had any remarkable landscaping and was mostly weeds. After construction I took the initiative to research, buy, and plant this area. They have somewhat sandy soil that doesn’t get much sun.
Weiner-Gate
The story that seems to be on Viagra. Yes the Anthony Weiner story seems to keep popping up in the strangest places. I hope you have already read my poem of a few days ago when the story first broke. E.D. now seems to stand for Embattled Democrat. According to the Weiner Spokeswoman (there’s job worth having – though probably pretty busy these days), Risa Heller, the Schlongmeister now is seeking a leave of absence (probably should have taken a leave for abstinence) to,
…In Spamalot!
Here we are a full 10,000 spams since my last spam post…milestones! I hope that you enjoy these interesting/weird messages I get with spam. As long as spammers post silly spam I will share with you their insights, poor English, compliments, and their attempts to lure me into their porn sites. This collection is the best(or worst) of the best from Akismet’s 10,000 caught spam since my last 5,000 caught spam and in order to maintain my journalistic integrity, I don’t embellish or fix their spelling; that also makes it easier to make fun of them. I got the title from this picture I found when “researching” my last spam post. I love Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
