Nothing new or noteworthy out of the Obammer camp this week, he hasn’t walked on water or learned how to fly at this point. But given time, I am sure something will come up. Some recent polls show Obamma clearly in the lead in thirteen states, and according to an Obammer political spokesman, “this is part of our 57 state policy.”

McCain is back from his Straight Trade Express and who knows what he was up to?  From a purely political perspective, his foreign travels, a trip to Canada last month, recent trips to Colombia and Mexico, make little sense.  There are no votes to be had, and touting trade, which seems to be part of his mission, might not be the most opportune way to find the votes he needs.

This isn’t the best way to win over the swing votes he needs in states such as Ohio and Michigan, from which employers have fled in pursuit of cheap labor outside the U.S..

Now here is something interesting.  You cannot believe everything you read or see anymore.  Look at these two shots of a “supposedly recent Iranian Missile Launch.”  One was alleged to have occurred this week, and the other is pre-Saddam Hussein.

Notice any similarities?  Looks like someone is trying to “BS” us into another altercation in the Middle East to me.  Just what we need, another war, we cannot afford.  Let us hope not.

A tug boat at sea, has found the missing Brazilian Priest:  This is the priest, who you may recall, on April 20th after a mass, took off in his lawn chair air balloon setup and was never seen again, his last contact was a desperate attempt to learn how to use his GPS and communicate his position as the wind took him deep into the Atlantic Ocean.

The body of the priest was found yesterday by the Anna Gabriela, a tug working for Brazilian oil company Petrobras, 683 miles (1,100 kilometers) from Father De Carli’s starting point. His last known communication was as follows: “I need to contact someone who can teach me how to operate this GPS, so I can give the latitude and longitude coordinates, which is the only way that people on the ground can know where I am.”

I don’t speak Portuguese, but I think it translates like this: “I am up to my rear in alligators, now someone tell me how to drain the swamp.”

This sounds like awful poor planning to me. There was another guy in L.A. who told officials that he was just tired of his “hum-drum life” that pulled this very same stunt, and he survived, only to be arrested and fined for entering restricted air space. Pilots were reporting him at altitudes exceeding 1,000 ft. and in the flight path of the L.A. International Airport. He tied the balloons to a lawn chair and took a BB Gun with him to shoot them out as needed to maintain altitude.

Yeah, I know, depressing.

Take a break, follow this link and watch the Schweppes video, that will cheer you up.  This is the most spectacular photography that you will ever find anywhere, I don’t know how fast these camera’s are, but they have to be super-charged to have done what they have done.  (Isenbeck and the horse shot is pretty amusing also)

See you in a little while.  You are coming back, right?

Men with girlfriends have more sex – yeah, no lie. You could write 50 articles about bunny rabbits, roses, housewarming parties, lawn care, but nothing, absolutely nothing will give a male a testosterone rush like a headline with “S-E-X” in it.

One of the most popular items I ever posted was called “Dumb Sex” (March 08) and it had nothing to do with sex at all (other than the title) but man you should have seen the hits it got!  So quite naturally, because I am a dues paying member of the Dirty-Old-Man’s Club, this item caught my eye.

Men with girlfriends have more sex.

Now this is one survey I would have loved to been a willing participant in, but unfortunately, the Old Geezer Section was already filled. It was called, “Men who are old as me don’t remember what sex was” or something like that, I quickly scanned it and then went back to my Baby Ruth candy bar.

This article basically said that “If you had a girlfriend bro, then you are more likely to be uh … satisfied and happy … yeah, that is what it said.” This one came out of Canada by the way.  Also discovered quite by accident, a related story about a guy being molested in a park, a guy, not a girl.

Kind of weird, usually the other way around, maybe Big Foot is horny or something.  Can you say Horny on the Internet?

A 40 year old man dove into a swimming pool, hit his head, and “all of a sudden becomes a concert pianist.” He had never played the instrument in his life, and now seems to be consumed by it. This is not as strange as it seems, my uncle Martin while walking thru his yard, stepped on a garden rake, it came up hit him between the eyes, and he has been dressing in womens’ clothing ever since.  Most of the time it is no big deal, but kind of hard to explain when company drops by.

Booming demand for flat-screen televisions could have a greater impact on global warming than the world’s largest coal-fired power stations, scientists warn. A greenhouse gas called nitrogen trifluoride, used to make the TV’s is, 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide, according to the director of the environment institute at the University of California, Irvine.

But no one yet knows how much of it is being released into the atmosphere by industry, a report in Britain’s The Guardian reported. This newly released research shows production of the gas, which remains in the atmosphere for 550 years, is “exploding”.

This is some really Bad Gas.

And you thought uncle Frank and his never ending “C’mere kid and pull my finger joke ” was bad at Thanksgiving Time.  This appears to be much, much worse I am afraid.
