Obama Apologizes For Declaration of Independence

WASHINGTON (AP) - Just in time for the document’s 233rd anniversary, President Barack Obama has issued an executive order apologizing to Great Britain for America’s Declaration of Independence in 1776.

“It’s time to move away from the failed policies of the past,” said Obama during a Rose Garden press conference, “and the first step is apologizing for the original sin of this nation against the sensibilities of the international community.”

...

Queen Elizabeth the Second said that she would “consider” accepting the apology if Obama would “take back this stupid iPod and send me a Kindle 2.”

Humorous high-school mascots

Lewisville, Texas -- a northern Dallas suburb by now -- and their "Fighting Farmers." The little cartoon mascot guy is wielding a pitchfork.

I am also aware of the mascot of Atlanta, Texas (a smallish city on the far northeastern edge of the state, near Texarkana) being the "Rabbits." What, are they going to wiggle their noses at us?

What are some funny ones you've seen or been made aware of?

The art of laughing at a bloviating blowhard without him even knowing you're doing it

While riding the Metro in DC this past weekend, we were sitting in a seat and a couple of professional-types got on. The man stood right next to me and proceeded to yammer and name-drop politicians and policy-wonks as if he worked right alongside all them. I think he was showing off for his female counterpart.

I thought it was annoying to have to listen to him; most people on the Metro keep their own counsel and don't say much of anything.

And then Cindy noticed something that broke us both up. So I put the camera down and pretended to take silly pictures of myself, all the while surreptitiously changing the angle to include the item which brought us much sniggering and snorting:





Yep, that's a dry cleaning tag.

This photo was taken at the END of the work day on Friday. So this idiot walked around ALL DAY LONG and didn't have a single person at his workplace who liked him enough to inform him that he was WEARING HIS FARGIN' DRY-CLEANER TAG under the belly overhang.

Pathetic.

Missing that sense of belonging?
