Of course, they’re keeping him in a freezer so that if the corpse fails his “DNA test” they can have a big BBQ.

While I’m no Francophobe, I also have no great love for anything French. I’m pretty ambivalent about France. They did us a few favors early on in our history, but only because it was in their interest to strengthen the colonies in hopes that would weaken Great Britian. It was in their interest to help us. But I do acknowledge their assistance. But that might be outweighed by them foisting Louisiana on us.

Anyway, for some reason this trash-talking Frenchman really stirred up a temporary hatred of all things French. After hearing repeatedly how good the French team was, I sat down in front of the TV expecting to be disappointed — but holding out hope that the US team could defend our country’s honor. That’s why it took me by surprise when I yelled out, “$%#@ YOU FRANCE!!” when Jason Lezak hit the wall 0.08 seconds in front of the strident Frenchman Bernard. I find most of NBC’s coverage of the Olympics insufferable (with the sappy human interest stories). But if some trash-talking can stir up a little nationalism for an event, then it becomes something that I can get excited about.

Story here.

Governments have changed. War erupted and ended. Neighbors had children, and then grandchildren. But Hedviga Golik never left her tiny apartment in Croatia’s capital — until her mummified body was carried out this week, 35 years after she died.

The National Weather Service for central Arkansas actually had to stop issuing bulletins for a while, because the tornado passed directly over their offices.  The tornado actually disappeared from radar because it was passing directly over the radar.   Several people were injured in the LR/NLR area;  but, so far, no reported deaths.

The pictures on the Fox news website are really good (my excuse for looking at the Fox news website).  As you can tell, it wasn’t a huge tornado like the one that hit Atkins, Clinton, Gassville, etc.  But it still provides plenty of opportunity for local weathermen to scare everyone to death.

Who do you want answering the phone?

I know my answer. NOT HILLARY. Hillary is accustomed to calls at 3 a.m., but it’s usually related to Bill getting locked out of some chick’s apartment wearing only a dress shirt, one navy sock, and a ball gag. So Hillary will be pissed from the moment the phone rings.

“Where are you, you bastard?”

“Madam President, it’s your Chief of Staff. Pakistan is marshaling forces on the Indian border. We must prepare a response.”

“Stop covering for him! Is he with that tramp from the tobacco lobbyists again? I bet he’s got a ball gag in his mouth,” she says.

“Madam President! We must scramble to the Situation Room.”

“I tell you what I am going to do. I am going to scramble to throw all his [expletive] out onto the west lawn. See how he likes that.”

Maybe that is unfair to Hillary, but not to Bill.

This is not one of those church signs you can make up online. I obfuscated the name of this house of worship because I don’t know the people there, and they might be great people. BUT state employees and politicians better watch out. You’re gonna get yours!

I just don’t like how focusing on the rapture brings out the tendency towards an us versus them mentality. It’s definitely not something we want to advertise to passersby. Even “A dusty Bible makes for a dirty life” would communicate something a little less belligerent.

It’s a different way of expressing us versus them-style Christianity, but this was WEHTJS Part 1.

Turns out that poor idiot was from the part of the world where I just spent the last 4 years. It all makes sense now.
