A New Picture

With a new year comes a new picture. While I enjoyed 2008, it's time to put it behind me. Maybe I'll post a list of stuff I did this year.

1. Procrastinate
2. Um....

Out with the old!





In with the new! I found this searching "blue Norwegian spunk fruit" and I got a Canadian. Wouldn't think to much about it.

Blame Canada!

I check Google News and found out those beady-eyed, floppy-headed Canadians are sabotaging us!:

Vive le Fermier Français

I had a dream last night where I was a French farmer returning home after World War II. Um, for some reason I was up in a tree for part of the war. Anyway, my farm was outside Paris on a slightly sloped piece of land by a river. Over the years, Paris expanded to surround my farm, but I wouldn't sell. I ended up with about a ten foot patch between two three-story buildings with my land running behind those buildings too.

I AM CORNHOLIO!

It's understandable that Colin Johnson, 33, of DeForest would have a thing for police cars. He's been arrested many times, including seven times for drunken driving.

On Nov. 23, Johnson got drunk, authorities say, and put himself in close proximity to those with the ability to arrest him by wandering over to the police department parking lot. DeForest Police Officer Brian Johnson, who recognized Colin Johnson from having arrested him before, caught him with his jacket pulled up over his head spitting on cop cars. Because he was on bail at the time of the incident, Johnson now faces two counts of bail jumping.

My Life

This is very much how I see the world, or at least my world:

What is the Sole of the Republican Party?

This article makes some good observations:

Republicans continue to push the idea that this is a center-right country and that Americans have swooned for GOP anti-government posturing all these years, but the real electoral bait has been anger, recrimination and scapegoating. That's why John McCain kept describing Barack Obama as some sort of alien and why Palin, taking a page right out of the McCarthy playbook, kept pushing Obama's relationship with onetime radical William Ayers.

Seasame Street's Count, Um...

I haven't laughed this hard in a few weeks:
