From Yahoo News… they happen to mention in the caption that the road remains closed. Duh?
Quote from article above:
On “Not One Damn Dime Day,” those who oppose what is happening in our name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms of consumer spending.
Let me give you my best Ann Coulter how-to-talk-to-a-liberal-if-you-must impression:
If you want to make a point, do not think in terms of time. If you need a product or service, you will buy it. It doesn’t matter if it’s the day before or the day after; you will buy it. If you need a roll of TP, you can either put a plug up your ass or use an oak leaf. It doesn’t matter. After either of those two experinces, you will buy a roll of TP. And then, what point have you made?
Let’s put it in another context: If you want to get your power company’s attention, don’t pay your bill one day late – that only hurts you in the end. What you do is turn off the lights and sit in the dark for a whole month (unless you buy a candle.) you turn off the TV for a whole month and guess who got kicked off the island. You turn off the stereo for a whole month and hum those Springsteen songs. And, for Heaven’s sake, you turn off the computer forever – your perception of intelligence is not needed online anyway.
See that little water valve behind your toilet? Open it up just a half turn instead of all the way. In most cases, the water pressure won’t be much different whether it’s a half turn or three. Why? There are times (usually after taking a category 5 dump) that things just are not going to go down. Rather than getting water and other objects all over the bathroom floor, a quick flick of the wrist to the valve will save you much frustration, embarrassment, etc.
A New Zealand woman started nursing her puppy after her infant rejected her breast because she didn’t want to waste her milk, The Dominion Post reports. Kura Tumanako told the newspaper she decided to breastfeed her Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy because the milk was being wasted and she hoped it would seal a bond with the pup and make it grow up to be more protective of her family. But animal experts Wednesday warned others against adopting Tumanako’s unusual parenting, saying a dog should not be treated as “a mini-human” and pup will now be prone to behavioral problems. It may also look upon the baby as competition for the attention of the “mother”, a potentially dangerous situation, they warned.
(Actually, I’m more worried about the woman’s behavioral problems.)
I just went down to the WD to stock up on hurricane supplies. With a category 5 storm heading straight in your direction, you would expect the battery and water shelves to be bare. The first empty shelf I noticed was the cold beer.
At least some people have their priorities straight.
President Bush is giving a press conference outside at his Texas ranch and his dog, in plain view, is taking a dump behind him.
psychoholic, n. She will have nothing to do with a man unless he can provide her with abuse; mental, physical or otherwise.
