They Got No Respect

Geesh! Forget about the singing lessons, this is the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar! No respect for anything these guys. Okay, the first song besides Oh Susanna and a bunch of other boring stuff I can't recall.

Boob Czar

This particular czar carries a bit more heft than some of the other ones, who Obama uses to skirt the democratic process. Let's hope it doesn't go to her breasts, I mean, head, of course.

Update: Via Jim - more, more, more! heh!

As if there isn't enough already? Or is that aren't for plural? Hmm. This gives rise to such staggering questions, which, with any luck, will reveal penetrating insights, so to speak!

Why do I keep thinking about AMC and Andy Sullivan while I'm watching this? ; )

Handling Tele-marketers

Other commenters seem to like Peg C's device for handling tele-marketers these days from the discussion thread for my Census taking post. Having worked various types of jobs before and during college to pay my way, I was in a family's home doing some minor electrical repair work one evening and had the hilarious good fortune to witness an all-time classic in the handling of tele-marketers.

Oh, a bit OT: my new tactic for dealing with telemarkers and tele-beggars is to demand first to know whether they support ObamaCare. Great way to get rid of people.

The family was eating their usual late dinner, as they were Long Island Jewish expats now living in New Jersey and the Father still slogged back every day to what I could only imagine to be a Long Island carpet store, or the equivalent. He was classic, too. Cranky, boisterous, loud, maybe a great guy to friends and family, still a typical mildly successful NYC shopkeeper with no time for BS. The wife answered the phone and was having trouble getting out of the phone call. You knew the tele-marketer kept going on.

So, this guy is eating his dinner, mouth full and mostly open while he chewed, and he sticks out his arm and starts motioning for the phone with his meaty fingers, not even looking up from his plate. The wife obliged. He gulped down a wad of food and started to speak, loudly as was his way.

"What's your name?" he asked, to which the guy must have responded. Obviously I couldn't hear that end of the call. 

"Okay, Darrel. Where do you live?" (response)

"Alright, now give me your home phone number". (r)

"Because I want your home phone number?" (r)

"Huh?" (r)

"Because I want your home phone number, just give it to me." (r)

Yelling: "Because I'm going to wait until you're trying to eat your fawking dinner and I'm going to call you at home and bother the shit out of you. Now, how do you like that, you fawking asskole?"

His wife took back the phone and hung it up and he went face down back to his plate as I finished up my work and left.

The Perfect Storm Of Opposition?

Ha ha!

Cool!

Let's hope. It's difficlt to say which way the health care debate goes just now. Often times the public gets tired, or bored, and takes whatever government shoves down their throats.

Jesse Griffin Official Poster Out

Always fun to have a laugh at a liberal's expense after working on a complex story requiring a lot of research. See I can has Cheezburger for more cats. I'm sure Jesse Griffin can afford it, right?

Let's Have Some Fun

Update 2: Done. Submitted for an important final review to a friend before posting. Should be soon. Thanks for your patience.

Update: Final write is done, asked Stacy to take a look. Need to do the normal editing for typos and such myself, as well. Looking it over, I sure hope some of my readers are lawyers - this next story gets pretty deep and somewhat complex.

I'm in the homestretch, working through a hopefully final re-write while calling on Stacy to lend a hand in the news editing phase. As I just remarked in a phone call to him, I think I had a few hours sleep, not really sure.

Talked to Eddie Burke of Alaska radio - pardon me for not getting a link right now, want to get back to it ASAP. Nothing is ever certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm on with Eddie tonight, if so, time to be announced.

In the meantime, sorry for the teasing. It's in my nature. So is humor. So, you have some laughs while I finish up and post ASAP.

Heh! Conductor, isn't there any room left in the back of the train for those people?

Biden Clarifies Earlier Remarks on His Dread of an Obama Administration

No Way!

The link below is audio only. WARNING: EXTREME language content warning. It's so outrageous and hilarious, provided you have my twisted sense of humor, it can't be real. But, it's so outrageous it can't be staged, either. Unless someone did it just for the Internet. Because there's no way this thing gets broadcast anywhere except out here. Gawd!
