Blather 'Bout Burl: A Body Bag and a Trial
http://blatherboutburl.blogspot.com/2006/07/body-bag-and-trial.html
Because stuff like this should not go without comment. A Body Bag and a Trial. It's Battle-of-the-Sexes, suburbia-style, in The Dinette Set. On the surface, the offenses described here seem like petty grievances. As such the temptation is to dismiss the entire panel as an elaborate set-up for Burl's reversal of the standard toilet seat complaint. That would, after all, follow one standard Dinette Set. Paradigm: over-elaborate setup, disappointing punchline. Involves a body bag and a trial. As Baby Jane's...

Blather 'Bout Burl: Emergency Services
http://blatherboutburl.blogspot.com/2007/11/emergency-services.html
Because stuff like this should not go without comment. I have to keep this short today, because I'm off to dial 911. No, not in anticipation of a bloody car-on-Rascal accident. Repeated reading of The Dinette Set. And the attendant forehead smacking, has resulted in fairly severe cranial damage. At any rate, all I will say about this particular vignette is that you can file it under "Conversations no human being has ever had; set in an Escheresque landscape.". 05 November, 2007 08:40. 12 April, 2009 16:04.

Blather 'Bout Burl: Seven Pumpkins
http://blatherboutburl.blogspot.com/2007/10/seven-pumpkins.html
Because stuff like this should not go without comment. Is another in a series of desperate attempts. To prove that poor math skills are fertile ground for humor. The net effect, predictably, is to prove the exact opposite. And yet Burl's "No! Still manages to be the strangest part of the panel. Is Donner Farms supposed to be funny? Cannibalism usually is hilarious, of course, but it just doesn't work here. 26 October, 2007 09:01. Jesus, Larson, get your impulses under control! 26 October, 2007 09:04.

Blather 'Bout Burl: Thanksgiving Sickness
http://blatherboutburl.blogspot.com/2007/11/thanksgiving-sickness.html
Because stuff like this should not go without comment. In today's Dinette Set. An unbelievable amount of dialog is used to make the joke, to use that term loosely, that some people call into work sick when (gasp) they are not in fact sick. If we were to assume this was worth any words at all, an assumption I will not grant, surely it could be done with much fewer than this? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Shuttle Bus from Hell.

Let’s all say “expression”. September 6, 2008. National Organization for Women. After calling NOW the “National Organization for Ugly Women. 8221; Mark Levin made a homophobic joke about Obama. A lame joke one would expect of a 10-year-old, or a conservative shock jock. This is all while they were talking about how Democrats are sexist and mean. But anyway, let’s get to our phones. I see Mark is in Washington, D.C. Uh-oh. Is this him? Is that —. LEVIN: Dr. Hannity? HANNITY: And let me tell you something,...

Health care reform’s defenders. June 25, 2009. Here’s something to make you optimistic: The left is learning how to unite to have power in the House.

Don’t panic, the financial crisis doesn’t call for a $700 billion bailout | Rise Above
https://spgg.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/dont-panic-the-financial-crisis-doesnt-call-for-a-700-billion-bailout
Don’t panic, the financial crisis doesn’t call for a $700 billion bailout. September 22, 2008. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has put forward a proposition to bail out the finance industry. With a price tag at $700 billion. The plan comes with near-dictatorial power granted to the executive branch, with a huge raid on the treasury with no means of paying for it, with a petulant demand of “Now, now, now! On oversight written into the bill). Head, could be brought before the American people as a sign tha...

Bad Faith | Rise Above
https://spgg.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/confining-worldview
September 23, 2008. Here’s George Will from his column yesterday:. The political left always aims to expand the permeation of economic life by politics. Today, the efficient means to that end is government control of capital. So, is not McCain’s party now conducting the most leftist administration in American history? How in the world is this bailout at all like the New Deal? The current bailout is a way for America’s richest to get out of the consequences of the risks they took. They are shyin...The uni...

McCain didn’t have pretty photography for five and a half years. September 7, 2008. Walter Reed Medical Center. Walter Reed Middle School. Republicans know how to manipulate imagery well. It’s a bit heavy-handed for my tastes, but then I’m never going to vote Republican anyway. Here are some of the backdrops they put up behind their big convention speakers since they couldn’t fill up stadiums. Well, enough times to maintain a permanent conservative majority in the US. 8216;Nuf said. Noun, verb, 9/11.

Same-sex attraction in the military. April 16, 2009. There’s a particularly stupid column. From generals advocating against lifting DADT. Jonathan Capehart responds. One thing that stands out from the column is this argument from the generals’ column as particularly inane:. Yes, because if there’s one thing the military is known for, it’s its tolerance of dissent from enlisted folk. From → punditry. Larr; George Will’s anti-denim nanny state.
