Talk about having a bad day!

"Dog Eats Paralyzed Man’s Testicle As He Sleeps"

Not a Pit Bull.

Not a Rottweiler.

Not a Doberman.

It was a dog-ette!

The world is a dangerous place if you sleep naked!

Addiction to technology

Hat tip to Adrienne's Corner:

Mrs. AOW avoids getting a smart phone like the damn thing is the plague.

I agree!

Everybody seems glued to their devices.

This can't be healthy behavior! And it sure as hell puts a cramp on having a person-to-person social life!

I get pissed off when I see people who used to be normal and fun to be around so addicted to electronic devices.

Picking on kids

I read a jaw dropping stories on the news every day. Here's one of many:

Cupcakes With Army Soldiers Get Kid In Hot Water At School

CARO (CBS Detroit) A 9-year-old boy’s birthday cupcakes sparked a school controversy that just keeps growing, with scores of people lining up against a school principal who found the cupcake’s topping “inappropriate.”

The boy was chided, and so were his parents, for cupcakes featuring little green Army men on the top.

Schall Elementary School principal Susan Wright called the parents at home and said the cupcakes were insensitive in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. School staff pulled off the Army men before they were served.

[...]

Martial arts instructor Josh Brown, who teaches both the father and son through his school at Caro Martial Arts, is one of the outraged local residents.

“He’s a little 9-year-old kid and it was his birthday cupcakes,” Brown said. “These guys (soldiers) are heroes, and too many people are confusing them with psychopaths.”

On second thought

Mrs. AOW and I were thinking about taking a cruise.

Now, we're not as interested:

a ship with sewage sloshing around in hallways, with rooms flooded and with little food.

[...]

The fire also cut power to air conditioning

Another report mentions that passengers are using baggies as toilets.

Been there, done that - when I fell on the floor while Mrs. AOW was at work.

This is America?

Here's the information from YouTube, and you may want to read the information before watching the video:

Sad but true

Found at Freethinke:

When Mrs. AOW and I recently had Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with family and friends, all the young people were glued to their devices.

I like my iPad, but it's not my LIFE!

Technology should be a tool, not a master.

How much voter fraud was there?

Is this some shit, or what?

St. Lucie County, Florida also in Allen West's district Had 141.1% Turnout; Obama Won County.(PP).Out of 175,554 registered voters, 247,713 vote cards were cast in St. Lucie County, Florida on Tuesday. Barack Obama won the county.

When faced with the astronomical figures, Gertrude Walker, Supervisor of Elections for St. Lucie County, said she had no idea why turnout was so incredibly high...

There is more to read. Check it out!

Not that anything is going to come of all this fraud.

We have to suffer through another four years under Barack Hussein Obama.

Dumbass Environmentalists

The Reflecting Pool on the National Mall is now a mess after being reconditioned for $34 million.  $34 million shot to hell.

The dumbasses put river water into the Reflecting Pool!  Now the pool is growing a bumper crop of algae:

That area of the Mall stinks to high heaven too.

Getting that dirty river water into that pool was a two-year project!

Anybody with any knowledge of what i's in the water from the Potomac River could have seen this FUBAR coming. Even the fish go belly up in the nasty water of the Potomac.

Of course, nobody on our local news programs will mention the real cause of this SNAFU: the damn greenies.

God help us if these people vote!

Obama: The Chicago Way

Found at THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS:

Obama in One Word

Read this, only one example of the traitorous deeds being committed by Barack HUSSEIN Obama: "Aid and Comfort to the Enemy."

OUTRAGE!

An apology has been issued.

But this crap of denying service to our military shouldn't have happened in the first place!

Rip Off! Scam!

As a disabled veteran, this one really pisses me off (with thanks to Mrs. AOW, who received the following in an email from her friend Mustang):

Those Stimulus Grants

Funded by the taxpayers, of course:

The NBC Investigative Unit has raised questions about two grants totaling nearly $1.5 million dollars distributed to the University of California San Francisco. The money was part of the federal stimulus program and went to studies into the erectile dysfunction of overweight middle aged men and the accurate reporting of someone's sexual history....

The graphic and the label for this post says it all!

The Obama Meal

The welfare state in a nutshell:

You order what you want at McDonald's, and the guy in back of you pays for it.

This works okay until you're in back of somebody with 10 kids.

Monday's headline Washington Post says, "French, Greek voters deal blow to austerity."

IDIOTS! It's the welfare-state spending that got France and Greece into economic trouble!

Reuters says:

President Barack Obama congratulated French president-elect Francois Hollande for his victory Sunday, but warned of "challenges" ahead, a clear reference to Afghanistan and eurozone debt crisis.

The US president was among the first world leaders to welcome Hollande's election as France's first Socialist president in nearly two decades...

Obama invited Hollande for bilateral talks at the White House later this month...

In a telephone call, Obama "indicated that he looks forward to working closely with Mr Hollande and his government on a range of shared economic and security challenges," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.

Do these recent votes in Europe bode well for Obama in November. GOD FORBID!

Judas Priest!

From Z's site:


PS: I use the phrase "Judas Priest!" when I've exhausted all the other similar phrases. Mrs. AOW wouldn't type in the original title that I came up with for this post.

The News

I hate watching the news.

I'm not talking about politics.

I'm talking about all the things that the talking heads and news reporters say are good for you and these wonderful things that you should get.

Lots of people try whatever that product is.

Next, out comes the "new information." The product is bad for you and will even kill you!

Or else the product is illegal, which makes even more people want it.

I'm sick of the merry-go-round!

Don't even get me started bitching about the commercials for wonder drugs. They have side effects that would scare the coldest-blood hit man in the Mafia.

I should stick to watching You Tube and reruns of "Two and a Half Man."

Hell, even old reruns of "House" and "Cold Case" are better than the stupid news, which constantly says one thing, then turns around and says the total opposite.

Even "The Three Stooges" has more brain matter than most of these idiots on tv news.

Our No-Class President

Total lack of respect for the office!



Addendum from AOW below the fold.

Restricting Fun On The Beach

I grew up in Southern California and went to the beach all the time.

Times were freer then.

Now, the beach has become a place of less freedom:

beach-goers may toss balls and Frisbees with Lifegauds permission on beaches in Los Angeles County between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Back in the day, we knew how to behave ourselves at the beach. And we didn't need permission from lifeguards to send those Frisbees sailing through the air.

Money Down The Drain
