Shoulda asked JJ

How to win $10K with no sweat

Is JJ proposing, or ogling?

Her recent events drew scruffy high-schoolers in backward baseball caps, tank-topped bikers in bandanas and long-bearded veterans in berets. They crashed the rope line for photos and autographs. “Marry me, Sarah,” a man implored in Weirs Beach, N.H., while Ms. Palin held up a tow-headed toddler and patted his little chest. She ignored, or didn’t hear, the proposal, but signed the dude’s ratty baseball cap. Yes, some men come to ogle the candidate, too. “She’s beautiful,” said a man wearing a John Deere T-shirt in Weirs Beach. “I came here to look at her,” he said, and his admiration for Ms. Palin’s appearance became more and more animated. Sheepish over his ogling, he declined to give his real name (“Just call me ‘John Deere’ ”). Could it be, could it be?

A must have

Mail Goggles, available at Google Labs, tries to prevent drunk e-mailing by posing a few simple math problems that must be answered within a number of seconds before the message can be sent through Google's Web mail service, Gmail.

This reminds me of my flaming youth, when I had a personal test to decide whether I was drunk: I had to recall the double angle formula for sine. Do you think Google would use this test?

Greenspan, Osama, and the Albanian Ponzi scheme

"Greenspan was considered a master," Tremonti declared. "Now we must ask ourselves whether he is not, after [Osama] bin Laden, the man who hurt America the most. "The system is collapsing, exactly like the Albanian pyramids collapsed." Ouchhh... Don't worry, says JJ, Freddie Mac will fix things up in no time. Sure, have some more ouzo.

Jj says do as I say (not as I do)

tilting his laptop screen to just the right angle on his desk, and delicately folding a three-foot length of toilet paper over his erect penis in lieu of two tissues, since his Kleenex supply had been exhausted during an earlier masturbation session.

Corpus Christi clock

"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity." Sure, JJ, sure. If you say so.

He's got a point

You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything. ... I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia.' That kind of thing is insulting to the American people. Not to JJ.

$5.3 trillion shaking in their boots?

Investors who own the companies’ common stock will be virtually wiped out; preferred shareholders, who have priority over other shareholders, may also wind up with little. [..] The government’s intervention could rise into tens of billions of dollars and will probably be among the most expensive rescues ever financed by taxpayers. Aahhh, who cares, says JJ. Don't worry, be happy. Have some Palinka (that is, Pălincă). Best bet: Barack Palinka (how's that for a GUT for your gut?)

JJ got a new friend

Pat needs to get back on his meds, or pretty soon, he'll sound like JJ. [Added Illus -- JJRiefenstahl]

The End of The World is Nigh!

Steyn Stomps on the Frumious Palinbash

I understand AIs disagreements with the choice of Palin, but I'm with Steyn on this one. She's an intriguing figure, on many levels, and I think measurably improves the odds of not having a President Obama lording his Left Versaillean ass over us as the world disintegrates into rotten dictatorial pieces.
It is John vs. Barack. Sarah helps John more than Joe helps Barack. That is good. She has actually governed, which is good. She has proved to have the courage to back up her talk about corruption, which is very good. She has a rich life beyond politics, and that is also good. Do I have more confidence in her ability to get a firm sense of international politics and the dangers to us than I do of Joe or Barack being able to reevaluate their obtuse understanding of the same? Absolutely.
This was a good choice. It may not guarantee victory against Obama, but it helps more than any other available one.

Damn that Martian Global Warming

Damn, we just missed 'em. Glaciers would have been cool. Damnation.

Why JJ is chasing dem mountain goats

Hiking and climbing mountains is better than sex. When you pull yourself up onto a summit -- and climax, so to speak -- the sheer physicality, beauty and endurance are like no other feeling on earth, he explains.
