The Rest Of The Twitter Townhall Story

by Smitty (h/t Sissy Willis) I give this one a ‘Heh’.

Happy Anniversary, Kennedy and Martin!

Wow, it hardly seems a whole year has gone by since last summer’s big wedding! And since that grand occasion, Kennedy has graduated summa cum laude, and Martin has been accepted to law school in Baltimore. And before you ask: No, no grandchildren yet, although now that Kennedy has been hired to teach in Frederick, […]

U.S. Postal Service Anti-Terrorist Campaign Halts Suspicious Delivery

Wow! You’ve got to admit, those U.S. Postal Inspectors are really on their toes. Someone tried to send me a package — which “contained a confirmable CARD to the tune of US1,500,000.00 USD” — but the package got held up due to the “USA Government Anti-Terrorist Campaign.” I never would have known about this if the […]

Betty Ford, Dancer, R.I.P.

That’s her in the center, in 1938. “Dancer” is probably not the first thing you think of when you think of Betty Ford, but “rock singer” is probably not the first thing you think of when you think of me. Yet I was once a rock singer and guitarist, and Betty Ford was once a […]

Now That She Has Finally Turned 16, It’s Legal for Her to Get Married in Nevada

Unlike Courtney Stodden, however, there are no creepy 51-year-old Hollywood types trying to get jiggy with 16-year-old Mycah Emerson. She’s not a singer or actress, and I doubt she could get parental permission for marriage. However, Russ Emerson says he’s planning to take Mycah to the DMV to get her driver’s license. What could possibly […]

To the Reader Who Bought the 1/8 Carat Gold and Diamond Heart Pendant

Honestly, it never would have occurred to me to buy a $199.99 piece of jewelry via an Amazon link from my favorite blogger, but at least one “magnificent bastard” did, and thereby accomplished two purposes: Made his wife, fiancé, girlfriend or mistress very happy; and Contributed $8 toward supporting this blog, for which I’m probably even happier than […]

Which Ignorance Probably Explains Jim Moran’s Reelections

by Smitty (h/t Lucianne) It’s time for another episode in my serial apology to the rest of the country for my Congresstool, Jim Moran. Fresh, in the manner of something dropped in a field by a bull, from his 10′ Fairy Sculpture triumph, we have a new museum on offer from “Gentleman” Jim (emphasis mine): […]

‘Hey, TSA, Is That My iPad in Your Pants, or Are You Just Happy to Frisk Me?’

Damn that VodkaPundit: He got to this joke headline before I did. Great drunks think alike, I guess. But enough about us — let’s talk about the government hiring criminal thugs to rip off innocent taxpayers: The Broward [County, Fla.] Sheriff’s Office says 30-year-old Nelson Santiago stole around $50,000 worth of electronics over the past six months […]
