Not the Poet Laureate

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

I have been trying to write a higgledy-piggledy about the Royal Wedding ever since I realised that “Catherine Middleton” is a double-dactyl.

Higgledy-Piggledy
Catherine Middleton
Commoner-born, will be
Dutchess, then Queen.

Wedding Day streets feature
Impassibility;
Hoi polloi cheer and Re-
publicans keen.

More F*ckwittery in the United States

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

In preparation for the Presidential election next year, President Obama has finally gotten the State of Hawaii to release his original birth certificate. This is not usually done, but a group of f*ckwits called “birthers” have been doubting the facts of the President’s birthplace since he first ran for election. They said that he must have been born in Kenya (where his father hailed from), or in Indonesia (where he spent a few of his primary-school years). He just couldn’t have been born in the United States.

Now, of course, the birthers are saying that the fact that his father was not an American citizen makes it problematic that Obama is qualified to be president. The definition of “natural-born citizen” has never been decided by the Supreme Court, but the general idea is that anyone who is born in the territory of the United States is a natural-born citizen. Obama was born in the territory of the United States. Thus he is a natural-born citizen. There are questions as to whether people born outside the territory of the United States to at least one US citizen parent are “natural-born citizens”, but this has never come before the Supreme Court as all mainstream presidential candidates have been born in the United States or its territories. Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona when it was a territory, but I am fairly certain that had he been elected he would have been considered a “natural-born citizen”. John McCain was born in the Panamá Canal Zone before it was handed back to Panamá; his parents were both US citizens. Had McCain been elected, I don’t believe that any “birthers” would have come out of the woodwork to challenge McCain’s eligibility for the Presidency.

Let’s just call this what it is: racism, pure and simple. President Obama would not have been challenged in this way had he been of pure white ancestry. To continue this silliness after the documentary proof of his birth in Hawaii has been released is just a symptom of f*ckwittery.

Taken from the Grauniad:

Dame Judy Dench’s eyesight isn’t what it once was, but she’s as feisty as ever. She accidentally stepped off a curb a while back right into the path of an oncoming taxi. The cab screamed to a halt and the driver rolled down his window and shouted, “Bitch!” She looked at him and shouted back, “That’s DAME Bitch to you!”

A TED talk worth 20 minutes of your time

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Almost all TED talks are worth your time, but this one is especially good. It’s Roger Ebert, his wife, and some friends delivering Roger’s thoughts on communication through the unique prism of his inability to speak.

If you don’t follow Roger’s blog, you’re missing out on a really good reading experience. He shows that modern computing and communications have opened up an entirely new vista for people who would have been isolated only a few short years ago.

Another joke from MadPriest

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

I must say that the breadth of Fr. MadPriest’s acquaintance with jokes of this nature is quite surprising.

A woman takes a lover home during the day, while her husband is at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy.

The little boy says, “Dark in here.”

The man says, “Yes it is.”

Boy- “I have a baseball.”

Man- “That’s nice.”

Boy- “Want to buy it?”

Man- “No, thanks.”

Boy- “My dad’s outside.”

Man- “OK, how much?”

Boy- “$250.”

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom’s lover are in the closet together.

Boy- “Dark in here.”

Man- “Yes, it is.”

Boy- “I have a baseball glove.”

The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, “How much?”

Boy- “$750.”

Man- “Fine.”

A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab your glove. Let’s go outside and toss the baseball back and forth.”

The boy says, “I can’t. I sold them.”

The father asks, “How much did you sell them for?”

The son says “$1,000.”

The father says, “That’s terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.”

They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.

The boy says, “Dark in here.”

The priest says, “Don’t start that shit again”

Today’s Joke

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Don’t blame me, blame MadPriest.

Why I Am now Divorced

Last Thursday was my birthday. After getting out of bed I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband would be pleasant and say, ‘Happy Birthday’’ and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, he barely said good morning, let alone ‘ Happy Birthday.’

I thought … Well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids … they will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn’t say a word. So when I left for the office I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent. As I walked into my office, my handsome Boss Rick, said, ‘Good Morning, lady, and by the way Happy Birthday!’ It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o’clock, when Rick knocked on my door and said, ‘You know, It’s such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.’

I said, ‘Thanks, Rick, that’s the greatest thing I’ve heard all day. Let’s go!’

We went to lunch. But we didn’t go where we normally would go. He chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office, Rick said, ‘You know, It’s such a beautiful day… We don’t need to go straight back to the office, Do We?’

I responded, ‘I guess not. What do you have in mind?’

He said, ‘Let’s drop by my place, it’s just around the corner.’

After arriving at his house, Rick turned to me and said, If you don’t mind, I’m going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I’ll be right back.’

‘Ok.’ I nervously replied.

He went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, he came out carrying a huge birthday cake … Followed by my husband, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing ‘Happy Birthday’.

And I just sat there…

…On the couch…

…Naked.
