On the Road Again
Author: BobR    Date: 11/14/2012 12:58:48

I am currently traveling for work, which is why I have't been around here this week. It's also why it slipped my mind that I needed to write a blog this morning. So if anyone feels inspired to post anything - please do, and then merge this lame blog stub in.

Emoticon theatre!

In other news, VERY strange news.... Paula Broadwells Drivers license was found in Rock Creek park by a jogger.

TiVo has brought on Tim Tebow as a spokesnut. They'll give $1 for every new TiVo facecrack fan to the Tim Tebow Foundation. I'd rather they give $100 for each Tebow interception or fumble, but that's just me.

And to add to the Manning Hatred Front, part of the reason Peyton Manning is joining with Papa Asshole to give away 2 million round pieces of cardboard is that he owns 20+ Papa Johns restaurants in the Denver area.

Let's see.....Papa Manning thinks that just because he suffered through a team so bad its fans had to wear bags on their heads that the NFL draft rules didn't apply to his sons, and now Peyton franchises an asshole's restaurants. So far the only thing I can say bad about Eli is that he's too damn good (and lucky) in the 4th quarter.

WODS (Boston) has started playing holiday music.

Fortunately, the store has not, but I expect it this weekend.

Aside - I wish the stations that flip format to Holiday music would play it from Thanksgiving to New Year's, instead of Veteran's day to Xmas day.

I might want to listen to some of that "in between", but they pull the plug on xmas pretty damn quick.

Wha?

Yesterday's right-wing world....did Dennis Miller just mock me and all other cancer patients?

You realize, of course, this means war.

Wait a minute... WTF is this? What think tank was this?



Prominent members of conservative, Washington-based defense think tanks were given permanent office space at his headquarters and access to military aircraft to tour the battlefield. They provided advice to field commanders that sometimes conflicted with orders the commanders were getting from their immediate bosses.

Some of Petraeus’s staff officers said he and the American mission in Afghanistan benefited from the broader array of viewpoints, but others complained that the outsiders were a distraction, the price of his growing fame.

LIPA gets the Gangham treatment. I know that 90% of the Island lost power (and often people don't realize HOW large an Island it is) but I understand the frustration.

Here's a bonus click specifically for Mondo!



Signed! They are ruminated about having a bi-partisan committee to look into the "problems with the election." Um the problems with the election are are pretty simple, go back to the fair, equitable format for early voting that has worked well for the past 10 years. When you are caught red handed, don't dig your dickish heels in and say no, I'm not going to extend early voting and blame it on the length of the ballot (because of all the ruinous Republican legislator sponsored constitutional amendments) and generally be a total dick.

There is a reason it's called Long Island.

Look at who Paula Broadwell is sitting next to.

Chertoff.

Here is a picture of The Infected Asshole, Rick Scott. WARNING, NSFW and very gross.

I blame you Scoop. You riled me up! I loath The Infected Asshole, Rick Scott.

That dude is not in the Navy, he's in the Army. How does Mondo know this? One of the decorations he's sporting is a Combat Infantry Badge, another item there are his Jump Wings. Oh and the big give away, those are Army dress blues he's wearing.

Heh I was looking at those too.. Thought one of his decorations looked like an anchor.

Yes. The pins on his jacket lapels say US, not USN.

Comment by Mondobubba on 11/14/2012 16:11:07
Below the US pins, those seem to be the crossed sabers of the cavalry.

I wasn't sure. I think I am honing in...

Okay who was brave and looked that the picture of the the infected ass?

Comment by Raine on 11/14/2012 16:24:06
Anyway, it looks like Ms Broadwell was aquatinted with a lot of people. When scoop said it last week, I was skeptical, but it this point, I smell a rat too.

That I've not been able to figure out. I think he is some flavor of General. Can't really see what is on his epaulets.

Luke Russert is a little boy that doesn't seem to appreciate how nepotism got his job.

I would like that Tim could come down from Heaven and thwap little boy upside his head.

Good morning, bloggers!

Well, my interview for a maternity leave sub position got moved to Friday. So, now I need to decide: to wear a suit to the holiday job interview or to not wear a suit?

As for the affair du jour, I am curious only if there were any problems with national security. Mind you, no one is looking very well in this mess.

I'm sorry if I came off as a bit snippy, but I just don't think asking for help in finding information is obsessing. Especially here on 4F --
