Obama’s Katrina: BP oil spill in the Gulf

BP Command Center in Mobile Alabama

BP Oil Spill Command Center in Mobile Alabama

When the BP oil spill crisis erupted, some called this disaster Obama’s Katrina.  Initially, these people were conservative pundits and journalists. They were dismissed for trying to portray Obama’s presidency as at least as bad, if not worse, than Bush’s (because no one maintains Bush’s presidency wasn’t bad anymore).

The early comparisons were pretty easy to make: Both are in the Gulf of Mexico,  both damaged the Louisiana coast, there’s a lot of public outrage, both are will be or are really expensive, and so on. They were just as easy to dismiss because they didn’t define Katrina’s legacy. Unfortunately for the White House, and the rest of us, is that the BP Oil spill is quickly becoming a bad mark on Obama’s administration just as Hurricane Katrina blemmished Bush’s.  The unprecendented scope of impact, the all-to familiar blame game, and the apparent lack of leadership in time of crisis framed Katrina and are manifesting in this latest crisis.  (more…)

Heroic Cop Squashes Snowball fight, Angers Hippies

Snowball-Cop rangles a hippy with just one hand!

Snowball-Cop rangles a hippy with just one hand!

An un-named off-duty detective and Hummer owner (AKA: Snowball-Cop) comes under attack on DC’s mean streets just as his Hummer gets stuck in the snow.

Instead of calling for back-up like some kind of wussy, Snowball-Cop steps down from his ride and takes out his pistol, unafraid of snowballs still flying in from the mob. Sedans, minivans, and other SUVs somehow manage to avoid whatever trap these terrorists set out for him and crawl past the scene — their drivers feeling lucky they escaped a similar fate. (more…)

Petition against Polanski Extradition and Ethics

Switzerland PolanskiI’m usually one of the first people who defend the allegedly elitist, leftist, out-of-touch, communist Hollywood types when one of them decides to make some kind of statement about politics or whatever. 

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, right?  If you really feel strongly about something and you have an opportunity to advance your agenda or help a cause you feel deserves your help, then who can fault you for that. 

Also, a lot of times I agree with them: like when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went to New Orleans and adopted all those kids from all over or George Clooney speaks out on Darfur.  However, I always have a problem with folks who makes their decisions based on what a celebrity’s public stance might be.  Come on, I’m not going to cast my vote for whatever guy who used to play president says I should.  I digress …

What is a Douche?

Thumbs up if you're a douche

Thumbs up if you're a douche

Literally, a douche is a medicinal application intended to sanitize the vagina.  Douches actually kill off the naturally occurring bacteria that fight off infection and disease.  Even though their ineffectiveness is widely known, douches are still in common use today.  Douches merely mask the symptoms of conditions for which women should seek medical attention.

So a douche is something kind of gross that doesn’t really do anyone any good at all and still manages to hang around somehow.

Every day we hear more and more people referred to as douches, douche nozzles, douche bags and so on, but what does that mean?  Can you tell if you are sitting next to a douche?  Are you a douche?

In short, a douche is an asshole you can pity. (more…)
