EEEEEEEEK IT' S FRIDAY!!

Yes, it's back again, The Dreaded Friday Follies!

1) 105 Stories of Complete Uselessness: Ya gotta love Kim Ill Jong and his ever whacked parade of wonders in Communist North Korea. As quite the showpiece, a 105+ story Ryugyong Hotel was built in the capital city of Pyongyang financed with 2% of the gross national product. To this day, the 105 story monstrosity REMAINS unfinished, unnocupied, unopened and will most likely NEVER, EVER open. Nice going there geniuses, you've given us yet another reason to believe that Communism/Socialism really DOES NOT WORK! More sordid details HERE


2) Notes From The CamPAIN Trail: My thoughts on the Republican debate this past week hosted at the Reagan Library by CNN:

• I'd LOVE to punch Anderson Cooper in the nose for his excessive control of the whole affair, namely that Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul got extremely little time to speak and articulate their points. I couldn;t help but cheer when Mike Huckabee quipped, "Thanks, I'd really like to be here tonight".



• McCain and Romney could invoke the name of Ronald Reagan all they wanted but their stances on most things strike me as obviously VERY liberal, I'm just not buying their act. Their playground taunt/sniping didn't exactly enhance their credibility in my eyes either.
  Ron and Mike both deserve extra kudos for making the best of a dismal situation, being that when their turn came up, they did it for all it was worth, cutting through the BS and getting to the issues in the limited time they were allowed. At least CNN allowed Ron Paul to take part in a debate, Fox (False) News should be pilloried, pelted with tomatoes and lynched for their pathetic efforts to exclude Ron Paul from the previous debates, he's got just as much right to be there as anyone.



• I particularly liked Mike Huckabee's quip about Rush Limbaugh's routinely idiotic pronouncement that Huckabee is dumbing down conservatism (when in reality, I tend to think it's idiots like Rush, the GOP and the whole False News mafia that are doing that). Got news for ya Rush, the GOP has been dead since Ronald Reagan, the last ACTUAL GOP conservative left public life. After he retired, the GOP just went straight to Hell in this Owl's opinion when the Neo-Con liberal punks moved in. Personally, I think the GOP needs to change it's nickname to the LID, Liberals In Denial.



• Besides Huckabee and Paul, I thought Nancy Reagan was a true class act the whole night. Her beloved Ronnie definitely married smart that's for sure!
  

And of course there was George Dubbaya's Annual State of The Onion Snoozefest this past week, just more irrelevant rambling from a clearly generic script trying to paint himself as the Good Guy, not much in the way of gaffes and Bush-isms (wait, was that ACTUALLY Bush or an Animitronic one?). and of course ZERO in the way of any substance whatsoever. I watched the thing on a local PBS affiliate (kudos for keeping the chatter to a minimum BTW), and I could not help but notice that Hitlary Clinton looked absolutely bored out of her skull, and Nancy Lugosi alternated between looks of abject despair, wanting to cry in her drink and "PLEASE GOD, KILL ME NOW! while Dick "The Penguin" Cheney did not blink and hardly even moved (although I was half expecting him to whip out an umbrella loaded with sleeping gas, put Congress under and quacking maniacally about taking over the country, QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK).

And in a rather amusing plot twist, the New York Post SNUBBED Hitlary (for VERY good reasons) and endorsed with some reservations, Barack Obama, see HERE

3) My Kind of Sheriff: Well, they don't get any more old-school and tough on criminals than in Maricopa County AZ. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is definitely a MUCH NEEDED return to tough law enforcement and incarceration of criminals of all sorts. He's definitely looking to bag more than a few miscreant celebrities that the LAPD routinely allows to get away with murder since the Superbowl is taking place in his jurisdiction this year (Phoenix to be exact). You get busted by this man's boys in blue, here's what you can look forward to:

• NO square meals a day, ONE baloney sandwich is all you get per day, PERIOD!


• Chain gang duty


• If the jail is crowded, you're camping out in a HOT tent in the parking lot, HEAVILY GUARDED.


• You steal prison issued underwear, you'll be wearing PINK underwear as punishment.


• He LOVES vintage clothing, which means prisoners WILL wear the old-fashioned black and white striped prison duds of yore!
  

Even though the criminal-coddling liberals hate this guy, Joe has gotten elected FIVE times because he just won't take any crap from criminals, period, which is how it should be. Wonder if he'd have any qualms about using Brian Nichols for target practice? The story HERE

4) Amazing What You Can Do With Lego's #5823: This particular Lego project has become the stuff of legend, someone actually went to the trouble of building a somewhat playable harpsichord out of Lego's. It has to be seen to be believed, but the sound, GOOD GAWD, it's enough to scare Lurch! See HERE

5) Could It Be That NYC's City Hall Is Cursed?: Rudy Guliani is just the latest victim of an ancient curse on NYC"s city hall, or so some would have you believe. But one has to wonder given that EVERY SINGLE former NYC mayor who ever ran for president, governer or other higher office got knocked out of the race pretty early on, a story HERE.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
