Happy (belated) Birthday to Patrick! If you haven't done so already, go on over, wish him a Happy Birthday, and write him some bad poetry (hey, it's what he wants, who are we to judge!)

The other day, when I posted my Neo-Con Nutcase Barbie bit, it was, of course, just satire. Never did I dream that there actually IS such a thing! Yes, Ann Coulter has her own doll (oops, sorry..."action figure"...pardon me while I vomit!). To everyone out there who thinks Barbie is a bad role model for young girls, get a clue--the Ann Coulter action figure is a much more worthy target for your frustrations! Don't believe me? See today's Idiotic Quote for the Day for all the evidence you'll ever need that Ann Coulter is a horrible role model for America's youth (or anyone, for that matter)!

Quote for the Day: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."--Abraham Lincoln

Idiotic Quote for the Day: "I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote. No, they all have to give up their vote, not just, you know, the lady clapping and me. The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."--Ann Coulter

Just in time for Christmas, the George Bush G.I. Joke action figure is here! (Got the link from Blah3.com, also worth checking out.) The George Bush action figure is the perfect gift for the Young Republican boys in the family! Also makes a great gift for gun lobbyists, Enron executives, Halliburton executives, Saudi princes, Dick Cheney...

The Young Republican girls in the family will be begging for the new Neo-Con Nutcase Barbie doll! Neo-Con Nutcase Barbie is based on the popular anorexic, peroxide-blonde conservative pundit and bestselling author, Ann Coulter. Press the button in her back to hear a variety of charming and eloquent Ann Coulter quotes: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors," "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity," "There are no good Democrats," "God says, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'" and many more!!! Neo-Con Nutcase Barbie features a boney frame, blonde hair with dark roots, and a "McCarthy Was Right!" button for you to wear! For a limited time, Neo-Con Nutcase Barbie will also come with a five-dollar coupon towards the purchase of the Ann Coulter books "Treason" and "Slander," so hurry while supplies last!

'Tis the Season for B&E

Breaking and Entering, that is. I came into work yesterday morning to discover our offices had been broken into. While the main building of the hospital where I work is very secure, my dept is currently stuck in a trailer (or "mobile office" as the higher-ups like to spin it. *eye roll*) This trailer is a piece of crap, the door-locks are flimsy, and some of the windows don't even lock! (Don't even get me started on the absence of a bathroom, requiring multiple trips into the main building through all kinds of weather, just to take care of business!) No, it's not what you would call secure at all. The trailer has two offices, one on each end, and an area in the center with two cubicles (one of which is mine) and a printing/copying/faxing area. The doors to the offices are kept closed and locked when not in use. The perp (I've always wanted to say that!-lol) came in through one of the office windows, ransacked the desks in that office, then the two cubicles and the file cabinets in the printing area, then kicked in the door to my boss's office and ransacked it. (Actually, my boss's office always looks like it's been ransacked, or hit by five concurrent natural disasters, the only way she knew it had been gone through was that the door had been kicked in and her drawers were open). They were obviously just looking for cash, they didn't touch the computers or office equipment (maybe they don't know a good fence!-lol) None of us had anything valuable at work, and even my and my boss's inexpensive radios were left alone. We obviously aren't stupid enough to leave cash lying around an insecure trailer; what cash we do have gets locked in a safe in the main building, so the potential thief went through a lot of effort for absolutely no payoff! (I'll resist the urge to throw out the old "crime doesn't pay" cliche. Oops, too late!) Needless to say, my week is off to an interesting start!

Idiotic Quote for the Day: "Reports that say something hasn't happened are interesting to me, because as we know, there are known unknowns; there things we know we know...We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."--Donald Rumsfeld (Um...huh????)
