And speaking of crazy,

This morning, I heard on the radio, this woman who allowed a radio morning crew to wreck her car so that she can get back stage passes for some band that her 14-year-old daughter is obsessed with.

The whole time, she was saying that her daughter doesn’t deserve it, and that she is so spoiled, and she had tears in her eyes, and crying, and I’m thinking…..um, woman? WTF are you doing?

How incredibly stupid and crazy is that?

In keeping with the spirit is this bit from the AJC:

LONGVIEW, Texas — A 35-year-old Texas woman has been jailed after police say she made her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar.

Police in Longview say they watched a minivan turn into a driveway without signaling on Wednesday and bump into a home at a low speed. They say the car was driven by Jennifer Lynn Rosenberg’s daughter.

Police say the girl told an officer she had just dropped her mother off at a bar. They say they found Rosenburg at the bar and that she admitted having her daughter drive her there.

Rosenburg remains in the Gregg County Jail on a $2,500 bond. A jail official declined to say whether she had an attorney.

A spokeswoman for Child Protective Services told the Longview News-Journal that the agency is investigating.

The Clintons adopted a deliberate strategy of diminishing Obama’s victories, and Mark Penn, Clinton’s trusted campaign manager, pushed for a strategy of ridiculing their black, funny-named opponent as insufficiently American. Such memos, if found in the underbelly of a Republican campaign, would be immortalized by the liberal establishment as permanent proof of conservative racism. When plucked from the bowels of a Democratic campaign, the response is some mild tsk-tsking.

Here’s another crazy story…..

Police in Cobb County Georgia have cited a man for numerous health code violations. “We received a complaint of a very foul order coming from his trailer,” said a Cobb County police spokesperson. “When we entered the trailer we observed an old, very overweight man that seemed to have grown into his chair. He was on his computer viewing the ajc.com website. When we approached him he yelled, “the pinko’s are coming, the pinko’s are coming.”

Police said the smell was the result of the man being stuck in his chair so long. “This predicament as you can imagine produced some strong odors and caused a potentially dangerous cloud of methane gas to accumalate,” said the spokesperson.

The house was filled with garbage, “It was the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed, there were rats everywhere, he seemed to know the different rats by name.”

Police hope to remove the man later this evening. They are awaiting a special crane so they can lift him out safely. “The trailer will have to be burned, and the occupant will be confined to an institution after his computer chair is surgically removed.”

……….Wow, what a sad, sad story………..

McKinney and her friend were busted after the Mormon escaped, but the pair skipped bail and fled back to the US disguised as mime artists. British authorities eventually gave up trying to extradite the former Miss Wyoming, but memories were jogged when she reappeared in the news. McKinney now denies involvement in the case but public records reveal Bernann and Joyce are one and the same, say authorities.

It was aliens that done it. I was there. The night that thing came down from above is a night I never will forget. It started out no different than any other night. The sun had gone down and the animals had come out to howl at the moon. They was lined up at the bar howling at the local ladies that liked to frequent the joint — Joe’s joint. The big neon sign out front could be seen for miles in any direction, when it was workin’. “Eat at Joe’s” is what it flickered. Course very few locals actually ate at Joes ‘cause they all knew he couldn’t cook and if he did it wouldn’t be no more than a big pot of chili. Man, he made some hot chili. Anyways, I was tendin’ to the tables and waitin’ for closin’ time when I heard this loud rumblin’ that sounded like the Union-Pacific had done gone and tried to run their locomotives straight down the highway without tracks or somethin’. And then I saw a big blindin’ flash of light through the diner’s big plate glass window. As a matter of fact, all of us there that night heard it and saw it. Just ask anyone workin’ in any of the stores around these parts. They’ll tell you the same thing that I’m tellin’ you now. As soon as that bright light passed on by and the rumblin’ ended, we was all out there in the parkin’ lot faster than a jack rabbit tryin’ to scedaddle from a pack of coyotes and that’s when we all saw it go down. It didn’t take us no time to stock the beer coolers and get them loaded on the trucks and we was off. Heck, we didn’t even think about turnin’ on the headlights what with that big glow comin’ from just the other side of Cloudland Canyon State Park. Anyway, that’s how it all began. You know, the transistor and the laser and silly putty. Yep, that stuff out west in the fifties was just a cover story to throw folks off track about that secret government work in Manhatten — some project they had goin’. But this here is the real thing. We even got T-Shirts to prove it. See. It’s the darndest thing though. You would think that such an advanced civilization from another country would have some sort of fancy power source and not need to go messin’ with our energizer bunnies, wouldn’t you. Anyway, after they went and sucked all the life out of our batteries, our leaders got all upset about it and went and passed a law that makes it illegal for them aliens to come back without havin’ proper paperwork and all. And that’s the truth.

San Francisco police arrest insane blog stalker.

SAN FRANCISCO- Police today raided a bath house on Castro Street, where a client had hacked into the business wireless network, set up a makeshift workstation in the men’s room and was harassing blog commenters on several different websites. When approached by police the suspect, wearing a pink tutu and leopard skin pantyhose, was found peering into the toilet stalls and typing madly onto his keyboard. Several male accomplices scurried away from the vicinity before the police could apprehend them.

The suspect was seen being dragged out of the business establishment by his hair, by policemen dressed in hazardous material suits and obvious looks of disgust on their faces. The man was heard screaming ‘that it wasn’t right that people were participating in discussions without his approval and that they had to be stopped.’ This caused the police, and several bystanders, to stomp on the subject, calling him a freak.

Police believe that they have solved several harassment complaints with this arrest, including the Petsmart “Tell us about your pet” blog, the *Dear Abby webpage, Sport’s Illustrated, Thee Atlanta Doom and Gloom/PMS, the White House, the Pentagon, several area grade schools, community newsgroups as well as a host of other institutions.*

The San Francisco Police released the following statement- Some people in this world are freaking sick, what can we say?

Russia has told Poland that they could be in severe difficulty up to an including nuclear strikes from them if the Poles allow the U.S to install a missile interceptor/defense system.

http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/08/15/missle.html?ref=rss

I wonder how the Chosen One will react to this one? Shall he want to sit down an talk to Putin if Russia leaves Poland a smoking hole in the ground? What if they invade?

I believe that Putin has already made two determinations here:

(1) He thinks Obama is going to win the election.

(2) He sees Obama as a spineless fish that can be bullied to no end, and he intends to see how far he can push him. This will include ‘reclaiming’ former Soviet sattelites, like Georgia, Ukraine, and the Balkan region states. Like I, he feels pretty confident that Obama will never see the military as an option to confront the Russians, and the scared-of-their-own-shadows Europeans have already demonstrated their unwillingness to get involved in the “War on Terror”, so a real shooting ground war is far beyond anything they’d be willing to face. (also, they are too busy being absorbed by Muslim Nation)

Frankly, I now see World War III as a realistic possibility if Obama is elected President, because the bullies of the world already smell his (and our) blood in the water. Opportunities could exist soon for them that have not been there since Jimmy Carter was in office, and we all saw how the Iranian hostage fiasco drained our national will for 444 days. Anyone that wants to go through that again, raise your hand, or better still, vote Obama in November.

I don’t think that Obama’s community organizer skills in Illinois, barely over 140 days total service in the US Senate, and a big toothy grin are going to get him out of this one, should it come to pass.

I’m headed to the local sporting goods stores and starting to stock up on ammunition. Weapons I have, ammo I need. Nuclear strikes on the US will be limited anyway because the Rooskies want the land intact. Maybe the Chosen One will just give it, and us, to Putin, and we won’t get baked alive after all…….Maybe he is the Savior after all…….nah, I’m headed to Dick’s.

Air drops will be required by thousands of B52’s for essential goods to all remote locations throughout the u.s. that the bigfeet are inhabiting so that they may feel welcome and join the rest of humanity.

Even as Rice stood with President Mikhail Saakashvili in a show of solidarity, he asked, “Who invited the trouble here? Who invited this arrogance here? Who invited these innocent deaths here?” Shaky and near tears following a difficult, nearly five-hour meeting with Rice, Saakashvili answered his own question: “Not only those people who perpetrate them are responsible, but also those people who failed to stop it.”-Urinal/Jihad

Maybe those of you advocating total war with Russia, instead of lauding Bush for his restraint, might want to think of what would happen to all of the former Soviet Republics if we were intervene militarily against the Russians in Georgia.

We are not at a position of strength here, as Russia well knows and is acting accordingly, we would be fighting wave after wave of Russian army troops with our supply lines being virtually non existent.

Besides which, I thought war was not the answer?

Iraqi Shiite assassination teams are being trained in at least four locations in Iran by Tehran’s elite Quds force and Lebanese Hezbollah militants, and are planning to return to Iraq in the next few months to kill specific Iraqi officials as well as U.S. and Iraqi troops, according to intelligence gleaned from captured militia fighters and other sources in Iraq, blah, blah, blah.- Urinal/Jihad

We’ve been fighting the Iranians for 30 years, they’ve been “training to kill” us the whole time.

Lucky for us, we got the Iraqi Security Forces itching to wipe out any invaders upon their sovereign territory.

A senior U.S. military intelligence officer in Baghdad described the information after providing Iraq’s national security adviser with several lists of the assassination teams’ expected targets on Wednesday. The U.S. official acknowledged the disclosure was an attempt to pressure Iran to suspend the training. The U.S. also is encouraging the Iraqi government to confront Iran with the information through diplomatic channels.

Now on to important Saturday mommy duty.

Where do I find a really great mother of the groom dress - that doesn’t look like Grannies Christmas tablecloth?

This whole thing with Russia is clearly something that has been on-going since at least WWII. It just morphs into different names and faces. For example, the Bush Administration’s efforts to get a missile defense system set up in Poland is just a variation of the former USSR’s attempt to get missiles set up in Cuba. It’s the t**-for-tat sort of trash that gives heads of state that power rush that they so long. That power must be more addictive than morphine. I just wish we taxpayers did not have to pick up the tab for these people’s nasty habits.

By Mrs.Godzilla August 16, 2008 8:37 AM I want to know what we promised Georgia.

SNEWZE: Considering that Ivan has just about completely annihilated Georgia’s military infrastructure and now roam free throughout their countryside, I’m having a hard time believing that the United States “promised” Georgia anything.

You may not have heard, you being a slavish purveyor of thee moonbat websites and goony “news,” but the first thing the State Department did was throw Georgia under the bus, saying that we told them not to provoke Putin Thee Impaler.

What this whole adventure has quickly turned into is an opportunity for Bush to unite the whole world against the Rooskies and not in a babbling festival, as O’Dimwit Thee Magnificent would have them doing.

Russia is fixing to get squeezed.

And I can just imagine how those of you in the Fever Swamps are hating every minute of it.

Good.

Very good.

Mrs. G:

Robert Scheer’s speculation is a tad far-fetched dont’cha think? His assessment would have us believe that the U.S. set out to make themselves look weak on the world stage? Nope! If that were acceptable to us, we’d have bailed on Iraq a long time ago.

You really should think in broader terms when it comes to geopolitics. The U.S. does not govern all things throughout the world. It simply seeks to support free democracies so that the world may share in the bounty they offer. That’s something that I would like to think liberals support, but alas………….

Keep your eye on Turkey. They have some leverage with Russia — $19.9 billion annually in Russia’s energy sector. Turkey has other options available to them in that regard. Turkey also carries leverage with Iran. Ahmadenijad was disappointed that Gul had to cut his visit short due to Russian aggression in Georgia.

About the dress! Nordstrum’s or Parissiene’s. I don’t shop there, but I’ve heard they have great sales.

This is a statement made by Condoleeza Rice:

“We have started work with the Georgian Government and have engaged the G-7, the IMF, and other international financial institutions to rapidly develop an economic support package for the Georgian economy to build on its demonstrated track record and to resume its rapid growth.”

G-7? What…….was that like a subliminal thingy?

Moonbat Betty 5:04

You made me laugh out loud about BigFoot or Feet, whatever. But I hate to tell you that it has been announced that the DNA of Bigfoot appears to be the same as a possum.

But think of that!!A possum the size of BigFoot is nothing to laugh about. Have you seen those sharp teeth, those squinty eyes, that prehensile tail all the size of BigFoot? You want THAT lurking around your backyard birdbath??

Forget the Russian Bear, the Chinese lady gymnists, our political Demo donkeys…it’s Possum Preposterous.

Keep us posted, Betty. Your view is as claer as a Chinese morning at the factory. Your smog is delightful and insightful, not to mention quite right full.
