Not really a joke, but I thought this photo was amusing. Maybe some of you will like it. It's from photo.net.

I don't know if this guy is drunk, high or what (maybe he's just upset about the Ohio election returns), but this has to be one of the most hilariously awful weather forcasts I've ever seen. From Ohio Public Television.

It reminds me of a weatherman at WJTV in Jackson when I was growing up. His name was Bob Neblett and from time to time he'd come on the air stumbling drunk. He'd get fired but people would write in by the thousands begging that he be brought back. The newspapers would sometimes run columns about him. Sooner or later he'd be back on the air, same time same station. I guess he kept the ratings up.
I remember one night when a tornado warning had been issued for Attala County. The storm was headed toward the town of Kosciusko (a Native-American name pronounced ks-sko). Neblett could not for the life of him pronounce that name. He kept trying for more than a minute and finally gave up, giving the location as "this town rite here about 30 miles up from Carthage - it starts with a 'K'. Keep America Safe AND Free!

One of my all-time favorite humorists. Celebrity deaths usually don't affect me much but this one is different. I was a huge fan of Johnny. I used to stay up late against my parents' wishes in order to watch The Tonight Show. For some reason, his death has affected me.
MSNBC is providing excellent coverage of this right now. Keep America Safe AND Free! |

I thought it was funny, but according to this AP report it won't be going on the air.

She's a columnist and a conservative talking head who makes frequent appearances on cable news network talkshows. She's the type of conservative who uses insults as arguments. She believes Joe McCarthy was a great American and that he really did have a list of names of commies in the state department, although I've never heard her say which of his ever-changing numbers of commies was the accurate one.
She's written a few books like Treason and How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must). To Ann Coulter, if one disagrees with Bush's Iraq policy, one is probably guilty of treason. I wish you had seen her in an interview on CBC a couple months ago (we get CBC here via the NWI cable news network). I can't think of the name of the man who interviewed her, but he's the only person I've ever seen to help her portray herself as an uninformed bigot. He did so simply by being patient and allowing her to not answer simple questions in dozens of different ways. He kept going back to the same question she hadn't answered repeatedly until he had made the point to viewers that she didn't have an answer, then he'd move on to another question and go through the same routine again. Check this column in which she insults MSNBC's Keith Olbermann for pointing out that Bush took Florida in 2000 because a few blue counties voted red. Olbermann wasn't alleging a conspiracy, simply pointing out how Bush won Florida, but that wouldn't have given Ann anything to write about. Since conservatives can be expected not to watch Olbermann's show, Ann was on relatively safe ground in misrepresenting his statement. She uses similar tactics to insult and attack Al Franken, the NY Times, Hilary Clinton, John Kerry, etc., etc. That link will put you on her site. Take a look around and you'll see what I mean.

Thank you, holmes. I think that clip is from the CBC, which is interesting since Ann Orexi- um, 'scuse me, Ann Coulter had already embarrassed herself once on that network. It was several months ago and was also in reference to Canada's war activities. She said that Canada supported us in WWII by joining us after Pearl Harbor in sending troops to Europe. She didn't realize that Canada had already sent troops two years prior.
She might have been correct if she had said that Canada declared war on Japan along with the US after Pearl Harbor, but that's not what she said. Keep America Safe AND Free!

That's true, Ned, but Ann was making the point that, since Canada had the good sense to support us in Vietnam, why not in Iraq? Of course, you're correct that some Canadians volunteered for Vietnam, but haven't a few done so for Iraq as well?
Her point is ill-informed and stupid. Keep America Safe AND Free!
