Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

So the dog vomited on the $700 wool rug you were hoping to return, so what?  It’s not like you can’t unfurl it in the great room and hide that horrific brick-colored blot with a coffee table or a lamp or some such. Right?

FoleyGate Fallout Continues [Karl]

David Hasselhoff has outed KITT, the talking car that constantly upstaged him on Knight Rider. The car plans to appear on a very special episode of Dateline NBC to tell all it knows about former Rep. Mark Foley to that hunky Stone Phillips.

Conglaturations! [Dan Collins]

Evlybody prease conglaturate Nolth Kolea on successfur exprosion of nucreal device! UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. Security Council should congratulate North Korea for its nuclear test instead of passing “useless” resolutions or statements, North Korea’s U.N. ambassador said Monday. Pak Gil Yon told reporters he was proud of the North Koreans who conducted the test, and said the Security Council ought to be, too. Asked if the North planned any

Con Corea del Norte [Bravo Romeo Delta]

I leave the US for one freakin´week, and this is what the rest of the world gets up to?  Madness, I tell you!!  Madness!! Ok, here´s the quick and dirty for the North Korean nuke test.  It is unlikely that they are testing devices intended for a small yield at this point, and are probably working on basic design validation.  Given the speculation (and likelyhood) that this was a fizzle

Illegal migrants from Mexico frequently swim or ride inner tubes across the Rio Grande to reach the United States. Crocodiles do not normally inhabit the river, and authorities suspect

Another Fine Mess [ahem] Updated

GWB: Now, stop that, Kim. Behave yourself. Don’t make me come in there. You’re not gonna like it if I have to come in there. Crash! GWB: Now, you’re really in trouble…. Update: Of course, if this commenter at The Corner is correct–and I suspect he is–we’re not going to like it much, either. Especially if the Democrats are in the driver’s seat. Their approach to solving world problems, characterized

Dark Lord Beckons [Dan Collins]

At the usual drop spot, encoded message announcing that special ops explosion of small underground nuke in North Korean territory was successful.  Timing questioner moles prepped to suggest that it was arranged to divert attention from Foley matter, work conspiracy-mongers into self-discrediting lather.  Please aid in any way possible.  Status: chalice and compass.  That is all. UPDATE: Dark Lord bade me do this “for kicks.”

late-night drunken post 1 (cranky-d)

Hey kids.  In my brief tenure at Protein Wisdom I think I’ve established myself as someone who posts “Talking back to drag-queen music” and two armadillo posts.  In other words, a lightweight.  When I signed up for this insanity, I told Jeff that I’d provide late-night drunken postings.  I have no idea if he paid attention to that.  This is one of those posts, belated and yet somewhat timely in

my first brief conversation with my new home owners association (HOA) covenant

me: “So what you’re saying is, should I wish to build, say, a shed, I need your permission –?” HOA covenant: “—Permission, approval, blessing—whatever works for you.  But yes, that’s the gist of it.” me: HOA covenant: me: HOA covenant: me: HOA covenant: me: “Well that kinda blows, don’t you think?” HOA covenant: “For you, sure.  But for me?  Well, let’s just say you’d be surprised what a bunch of
