Thing 1.) Buy this book--->Pat The Politician if you though Patting the Bunny was fun as a child, image hours of entertainment patting Pat Robertson's bunny-like belly, pulling on Barabra Bush's white mane and my personal favorite tactile experience is the feeling Bill Clinton's underwear, sadly lacking in a scratch n' sniff option, but nonetheless fun.
An employee of mine pointed out in midst of the re-branding experience from hell (re-branding, the new re-engineering, blah) that we had a whole shelf in the humor section that made fun of American's and the President and she thought that it was a sad state of our society and another employee, who incidentally favors a Coulter/Savage presidential ticket (shiver), felt the same. My diplomatic managerial response was, "If we can't laugh at ourselves, who do we laugh at?", they both walked away from me speechless. Now that was funny. *snap*
Thing 2.) Bestever four letter words the FCC won't fine you for:
Bono, "I know idealism is not playing on the radio right now, you don't see it on TV, irony is on heavy rotation, the knowingness, the smirk, the tired joke. I've tried them all out but I'll tell you this, outside this campus--and even inside it--idealism is under siege beset by materialism, narcissism and all the other isms of indifference. Baggism, Shaggism. Raggism. Notism, graduationism, chismism, I don't know. Where's John Lennon when you need him." Dude, Lennon is so dead, but I get where your coming from. ;)
Thing 3.) No Child left behind *HiCcUp* [Via: DogSnotDiaries] Eat, drink and be merry it's offically another holiday weekend where the majority of American's will do everything but remember those who dedicated their lives so that we in the land of the Free & Brave can barbeque in rain and raise our snarky glasses to celebrate ourselves. Take a few moments for reflection this weekend, the fallen don't ask for much more, they can't, their dead. Godspeed to the troops around the world and Thank You to ALL the Vet's.
