Will the Romney/Reid cat fight escalate to the point that they throw church statuery at each other? *popcorn*
August 3rd, 2012 @ 7:40 am
Romney should pay Dingy Harry a visit and smack him across the face with a gauntlet.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 7:53 am
Indeed. Old school, but with a YouTube release. Instantly viral.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 8:24 am
Well, Wombat, you’re getting closer to home, time zone-wise!

Judge rules Oracle can’t abandon HP’s Itanium servers…
Good news VMS fans! Reports of Itanium’s death were, uh, exaggerated. Yesterday a judge ruled that Oracle breached their contract with HP when they dropped support for HP’s Itanium servers. (h/t Wombat-socho’s Live At Five)…

What about Harry Reid being a pederast? We need to hear his explanations on this topic.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 11:07 am
Wombat: Don’t forget Bob Costas’ most recent Olympic fail. http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/08/nbc-olympic-raaaaacist-fail-you-need-to.html

Luckily the LDS church is short on idols. If they were both Catholic then the weaponry would be significantly more hefty and plentiful. I could see Romney going fisticuffs with Reid. LOL
August 3rd, 2012 @ 12:16 pm
Katy Perry and skeevy John Mayer? What is it with her attraction to skeevy dudes? Gross.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 12:50 pm
IDK; she doesn’t answer my calls and both Stacy and Smitty are spoken for. There’s just no figuring you dames out. 😉
August 3rd, 2012 @ 12:52 pm
This has been a rough week, what with the bidness launch and yesterday being spent with the doctors.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
I, too, wish to hear his explanations for the Love That Formerly Dared Not Speak Its Name But Now Won’t STFU. Perhaps there is a large contribution from NAMBLA to explain this. In any case, he needs to come clean with America.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
Olympics? Didn’t those used to be in Greece?
August 3rd, 2012 @ 12:58 pm
Enigma thy name is woman…and we like it that way.
There’s no accounting for taste though. Good luck with that callback Wombat 😉
August 3rd, 2012 @ 4:23 pm
Yeah – one of those medieval metal gauntlets.

If the WSJ and other “pay” sites tick you off by only giving the first sentence of an article on a link, here’s a workaround: go to Google News or other news aggregator or search engine, put in the article’s headline, and most of the time you go right to the full article. http://po.st/qLM7RN
Enigma would be a good name for girl. Nothing tops the names I heard for twin boys, though: Orangello and Lemonjello.

He might also explain how he turned a $193K Senate salary into $10 million in real estate.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 6:21 pm
My prayers and best wishes to Zilla.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 8:56 pm
Thanks for the tip.
I don’t understand these modern kids and their newfangled kids’ names. Whatever happened to nice traditional names for girls like Lexus and Porsche?
August 3rd, 2012 @ 8:57 pm
Please, think of the children!
August 3rd, 2012 @ 8:58 pm
Indeed. It’s no fun at all being her right now.
August 3rd, 2012 @ 9:00 pm
Better yet, a bottle of Jack Daniels, as in this video.

Oh, don’t worry – his children have $$ million positions with various Vegas law firms, union shops, whorehouses, and money laundries.

I once took a young lady’s name as “Portia” and was corrected with extreme prejudice.
