Thinking 'Bout Somethin'

The explanation.

If I didn't have a blown tread with a Denver Boot, I'd be up and dancing to both of these! (They're happy-making.)

Legally speaking...

I don't understand A) the thought process of the idiot who hurt himself due to his own stupidity, B) the Court's line of thinking in awarding him him any judgment whatsoever, C) the defendant, who apparently thinks they did something wrong. Ah, Great Britain! What would be a frivolous lawsuit here is a money-maker there.

I do, on the other hand, understand this line of thinking.

Synchronicity, Part I:

Eric Zorn notes that The Blagoviator is trying out the Jefferson defense, to which Zorn counters with the Chewbaca defense.

Down in the comments to that post, I offer up the Twinkie and Elf defenses, as well as the Carrie Underwood defense.

Then I visited I Can Has Cheezburger?:

Sigh.

Synchronicity, Part II:

Jerry blogs about... well...

... and my best pal Mr. Bill sends me this:


I have a funny feeling the universe is laughing at me today.

I don't know Mr. Tomaszewski from Adam, but what a lovely epitaph:

Tom Tomaszewski left his native Chicago for Poland shortly after World War II and fell into a love story that changed his life forever.

We should all be so lucky, huh?

It looks like somebody down in Springfield has finally figured out that this program is not necessary. Now let's see if they can get it past the governor, who's just as bad as our former Governor Give-away....

In the meantime, the CTA and its labor unions continue to flail away at each other and the $95 million+ budget deficit that caused cuts to jobs and services in the first place. You know things are bad financially when even Jesse Jetstream concedes:

"The workers can't very well allow their health care and their 401(k)s and their pensions to be gutted,'' Jackson said after the meeting at CTA headquarters. "But the shortfall is limiting what the CTA can really do too." [Emphasis mine]

Yup.

Hit by a train twice in two weeks? Sounds like somebody is bucking for a Darwin Award... or a lawsuit.

Ooooh! Look, fellas! Apple's bringing those apps back... and making them easier for you to find.

Yeah, I really rooted for Kelly Osbourne during the last season of Dancing With the Stars. Why? Because the chick tells it like it is:

Working out sucks, it’s miserable. You sweat and you stink, but then you’re done — and you see that just taking an hour three times a week can change you so much.

She doesn't sugar-coat stuff and make you think she got that way magically.

I'm thinking El Capitan needs this book so he can learn how best to defend himself against the dread anti-pirate potato canon.

Quote of the Day:

It's my belief that if one person falls down in this world, there should be two people right there to take her by the hands and pick her up. One falls down, two pick her up. Let it begin right here.

Amen.

Hmmmmmm. It sounds like Hair Boy finally got himself a governor who has a big set of stindeens. He must be beside himself with glee.

After any one of these messages, I'd be taken aback. Get all of them at once? I'd be at home with the covers pulled over my head!

No one was harmed here, and the hospital has gone out of it's way to make sure a mix-up like this never happens again. They've gotten every apology in the world. It's time to withdraw the frivolous lawsuit.

Don't these idiots get that it's stupid lawsuits like this that drive up health care costs???

I guess this explains why so many schools in this state absolutely suck. Why should kids have to pass with reasonable grades when their teachers can't???
