Due to the inverse relationship between Orange Juice and…oh, truth and reality, then if I win the blogger category, I am ipso facto a good blogger.
And where’s the “Most Dishonest, Vicious and Looney-Tunes Blogger” category?
Matt/Jubal,
Don’t worry Matt. It looks like your boy Chuck is running away with the hack blogger category…
Rohrabacher is on the mark about the potential threat of killer asteroids.
U.N. Urged to Take Action Against Killer Asteroids
Experts, including former American astronaut Rusty Schweickart, told U.N. officials Tuesday that the international community needs a plan to counter so-called Near Earth Objects in advance of the potential catastrophe.
The report, among other things, calls for an international decision-making program within the framework of the United Nations to decide on actions to counter asteroids.
Schweickart acknowledged that devastating collisions happen “very infrequently” but warned the risk could not be ignored.

I HOPE CLAUDIA CHOKES,WHEN SHE IS EATING HER TURKEY TONIGHT ..
Whew! Missed the cut!
I want to wish everyone in the blogosphere a Happy Thanksgiving. Please be safe and joyful this year and remeber those who are less fortunate than yourslelves. Lord knows there are a lo of them out there with the economy the way it is now.
It would be nice if one waited until an elected official took office before judging his or her job performance
#7,
Sure, but it wouldn’t be quite as fun, now would it?

Does that include the Prez elect too? With a rememberance plate for sale already, I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama isn’t Pope by Jan. 20th
“With a rememberance plate for sale already, I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama isn’t Pope by Jan. 20th”
Oh please, like that’s possible. Obama’s a muslim. Catholics wouldn’t install a muslim pope.
With the current challenge of finding an unmolested candidate for pope the church might be ready for a closeted black muslim one, of course he’d have to turn catholic for that so I’m guessing he’ll be too busy but maybe we can declare him catholic by acclamation.
This web site is so full of sh*t. I am surprised that anyone even reads it. Mimi Walters was just voted in, has not even sat in her assigned seat, and you morons vote her worst state senate member? This is a complete joke.
#12,
Your racist friend Mimi just got voted in to the State Senate – but our readers already know what to expect from the Mexican-hating Mimi…
