Jana’s kitty cat says hi!
News item: John Crosbie, Newfoundland and Labrador’s lieutenant-governor, issued a conditional apology Thursday after coming under fire for a joke about Pakistan suicide bombers that some found offensive:
“I called a suicide hotline. I got a call centre in Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck,” he said.
Pretty funny stuff, I laughed out loud at that. Love the Newfies and their warped sense of humor. There should be room for more of that in this world.
This is a long article from Mario Loyola at National Review Online, but it’s worth reading. Every person in the “Occupy Wall Street” rabble ought to handcuffed and forced to listen to an audio version of this; that’s the kind of socialism you clueless clowns support. Even with the inherent inequalities of capitalism, I’ll drink of the deep breaths of freedom anyday.
…and this follow-up is just as poignant. And yes, Andy Garcia’s “The Lost City” is right at the top amongst The Great White Shank’s favorite flicks of all time. Great cinema.
Maybe lucky for you and me, not so much for the rabbit.
So much for Barack Obama and his self-declared phony war against Wall Street. The stench of yet another scandal involving crony capitalism is going to stick to him like glue over the next year, and the GOP will have a field day with it. The more you see of the Obama adminitration, the more you realize it’s nothing more than a huge money-laundering operation designed to keep him out of the White House and on the campaign trail forever.
If I’m Adam Scott I’m looking for a new caddy – immediately. To call Steve Williams’ comments ignorant and racist doesn’t begin to tell the story. Hope Stevie has stored up some significant dinero to support his lifestyle; you won’t see him caddying on the PGA Tour any time soon. Some words are just beyond unforgiveable.
I don’t care who you are, that joke by the Newfie was frikkin’ funny! 🙂
