Wouldn't You Like to be a Pecker Too

I don't want to say there's something fundementally wrong with this country, but there's something fundamentally wrong with this country. A bunch of illegal aliens, accompanied by a mariachi band, just protested outside of the Supreme Court for amnesty. I'm trying to imagine a bunch of murderers marching around the Kremlin for amnesty. Or bombers marching around the Knesset for amnesty.

This one goes way off the Stupid Meter<tm>.
It has become so prevalent that it can no longer be considered chance - this is on purpose. Allowed to happen.

• As we know, I vote libertarian. Here's an interview with Gary Johnson, my candidate for president. Read it or not - this is just some info. With the current election environment, we libertarians don't sound so crazy after all.

It's looking more like the hidden 28 pages of the 9/11 reports may be released (over the objections of the White House and Paul Ryan). I predict that these pages will detail the Saudi involvement in financing but not the rest of the criminal activity (see Cheney, Dick). Rest assured, if this is being released, it doesn't contain the juicy bits (just like ufo 'releases').

• Prince William (R-UK) says he takes his royal duty seriously. Nobody knows entirely what his duty is, but the denizens of the UK can rest assured that he takes it seriously. The top of my single British reader's head just exploded. Thus far, his duty seems to consist largely of shaking hands, marrying an attractive woman (to great fanfare), and producing offspring. The cheekiest of Brits would say that Clive Public could fulfill these duties with aplomb (or an orange, if you'd rather) but we're neither cheeky nor British here. In fact, this paragraph might cause the first UK attack on the US in history.

Bill Cosby's wife, Camille, has finished giving her evidence in a defamation case filed by seven women accusing the comedian of sexual assault. "I was not there. He certainly never drugged ME. I am a kitchen table."

• Utah has declared porn to be a public health risk. This is the state with the most traffic to porn sites in the US. Oddly enough, all of the sponsors are folks with Magic Underwear (Mormons). If it were truly magic, it would save them from the scourge of pornography. 

Bad Day Dept: How'd you like to be the child whose mom confesses to the dad that after 15 years, he is someone else's child?

• At the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival there was a disagreement between the Who and Jimi Hendrix because the Who rightfully did not want to follow Hendrix.

Warning or request?

Linus Flips Nvidia the Bird

As you know, I love and use linux as my primary operating system.  Our founder and spiritual leader is Linus Torvalds.  Linus is a pretty bright guy, given to speaking his mind.  Sometimes he's a tad grumpy, especially during this exchange about Nvidia's statement that they are flatly ignoring and not supporting linux.


What, you've never seen an octopus hitching a ride on a dolphin's genitals before?


Remember that Princely fellow William who recently got married to a Kate?  Kate has apparently been shown her place by Lupo, the cocker spaniel.  We here at ThermionicEmissions wish to salute William on his excellent taste in black cockers.  While Marshall is upset that Lupo is an English cocker, what else can we expect from the Limeys?


Well, it's been a few days since our friends at the TSA have been in the news.  This week I bring you news of a different kind of TSA story.  A lady had a serious complaint about how she was groped, so she groped a TSA agent.  We need more stories like this.


Over in Bedford County, Virginia, a dead dog received a voter registration form.  I don't know about his voting plans, but if he ran, I'd vote for him.  He has to be better than the current set.


Over at the Jerry Sandusky trial, Mrs. Sandusky took the stand for the defense today.  Before the questioning got started, Mrs. Sandusky was heard to ask why Jerry kept asking her to dress up like an altar boy.    [I made this up.]


And lastly, Msgr Lynn, of the Philadelphia Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, has requested house arrest instead of jail.  I'm not sure but I heard that he's requesting the Ronald McDonald House arrest.
