Things are so bad

The economy is so bad that: I received a pre-declined credit card in the mail. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. A picture is now only worth 200 words. They renamed Wall Street " Wal-Mart Street". Finally, I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

Fun on the boards

I rarely post at political message boards anymore, but I just came across a thread I particpated in and which I found to be quite amusing, even if in a very childish way...

A conservatard (my pet name for them):

If we do not reduce spending and the national debt the rest of the world will devalue our dollar and our ratings which will cause the complete collapse of the US. That is what Obama and the liberals are trying to do which is what the rest of us are trying to stop.

Me:

By antagonizing liberals? Good plan. Wouldn't it work better if you stopped being a coward and killed some?

Conservatard:
What makes you think I have not already. Ask yourself how many liberals have disapeared in the last 4 years. Wonder where they went.

A liberal:

Into your momma's vag?

Canadian military developing stealth snowmobile

I kid you not. I'm including a link to the story at the bottom of this posting.

The Canadian Press

The Department of National Defence plans to develop a new stealth snowmobile for covert military operations in Canada's Arctic, with $550,000 set aside to build a prototype.

Apparently, this is the Canadian government's idea of "beefing up" military might in the Arctic.

Since coming to power, the Conservatives have gradually increased the Canadian Forces' presence in the resource-rich Arctic. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has made annual trips to the region, where he's appeared in carefully orchestrated photo-ops on ice floes as jets screamed overhead.

A government spokeswoman could not immediately provide information as to why the military would need snowmobiles for clandestine operations. 

I did a little research on this subject and I found that one prototype has already been built and delivered to the Canadian government for trial. Despite the project's top secret status, a leak has posted this single image of the vehicle on the web.

It's official

I've gone completely around the bend.

Today, when I got near my kitchen garbage container and smelled that awful smell, the first thing I thought was "How nice--tens of millions of microbes are feasting on my refuse". There may still be some hope for me, though, as my second thought was "I wish their farts didn't smell so bad".
