Another guest submission from Whodat!
We have all had summers to remember…
We have all had summers to forget!
But, this summer fo our First Family is
Certainly their worst ever, I bet.
Like promising the kids Disneyworld
Then delivering the back yard only,
Barack promised us the “Summer of
Recovery”. Didn’t happen. Pure baloney!

Brad Pitt reconsiders views on death penalty after BP oil spill
By Jason Wright, EditorFiled Under Humor on Aug 23
Well isn’t this just delicious. Brad Pitt implies he’d consider the death penalty for those involved in the BP oil spill.
Brad Pitt: I’d Reconsider My Views on Death Penalty Due to BP Oil Spill
Published August 23, 2010Brad Pitt has said that he would consider executing those responsible for the BP oil spill if he was in power. The “Fight Club” and “Ocean’s Eleven” actor, said he usually opposed capital punishment but would make an exception if he could.
Interesting… I wonder if he’d reconsider his views on the death penalty for having made the stinker Meet Joe Black.
Humorous piece from Daily Caller:
President Obama: No View of Chelsea’s wedding
By Myra Adams | Published: 10:01 AM 07/30/2010
History was made on The View this week and it wasn’t just that Barack Obama was the first sitting president to appear on what I consider the women’s weekday version of Meet the Press.
Real history was made because our current president admitted in front of millions that he was dissed by a former president and his own Secretary of State.
How humiliating was it for Obama when asked on The View if he was going to The Royal Chelsea Wedding — and to have to admit that he was NOT INVITED?
Maybe Wall Street is to blame after all…
By David Kaiser, EditorFiled Under Humor, Outside the Track on Jul 27
If they make decisions like bringing the cast from “Jersey Shore” to ring the opening bell, you have to wonder that maybe everything is their fault after all.
“Gorilla juiceheads” fist-pumped on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning as the cast of “Jersey Shore” kicked off trading in one of the more anticipated opening bell ceremonies in some time.
Traders on the increasingly quiet floor said it was one of the most crowded days in years as the deeply tanned cast of the MTV hit rang the bell and stayed to sign autographs amid a crush of onlookers and a flood of media.
Yikes.
I hope your summer is coming along fine. If you’re looking for something to do, try this social experiement as suggested by Matt Labash of The Weekly Standard and try Living Like a Liberal
I promise it will make for hours of uprorious fun, and I’m sure your kids will love you for it.
On par with the Emperor of Rome, Nero, who fancied playing a little fiddle while his home town burned down, our supreme leader, President Barack Obama, likes to play a little golf while the biggest ecological oil spill disaster in United States history takes place off the Gulf coast of America’s back yard.
Using only averages, as precise measurements may never be known, there has been roughly 115 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf since the BP oilrig explosion.

Huckabee: Funny or Awkwaaard?
By Jason Wright, EditorFiled Under Humor, Media Clips and Issues on Jun 21
I sense a new regular feature coming here to PD. Watch this clip of Huckabee’s stab at humor (I hope) in reference to Palin doing drugs.
Funny or awkwaaard?
(Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)
Let’s see how many newsworthy items you can combine with this photo: (All references between BP, the World Cup, and Barack Obama are purely intentional)
> “Soccer balls and oil spills: Two things the Brits can’t contain.”
> “We know who’s butt is going to get kicked tonight.”
> “BP’s environmental safety plan – as trustworthy as a British goalkeeper.”
> “Hey ma, look – no hands.”
> “I wish I could get the first half of this game back.”
> What’s big, green, and really makes a mess of things?
a) BP
b) Incredible Hulk reruns on TVLand
c) British keepers
Can you find the 21 McCartney songs in this post?
You won’t see me ever buying a ticket to a Paul McCartney concert after his remarks in the east room of the White House after being given the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. And I’ve got a feeling that many McCartney fans won’t dig it when they find out.
Love him or hate him, Jon Stewart’s rants on The Daily Show are some of the funniest things you can experience in politics, and his recent rant on the Gulf Coast oil spill, the reaction from politicians and just the situation in general is just classic.
It’s a bit long (over eight minutes), but highlights include an oil spill version of West Side Story, and always a fan favorite, politicians saying dumb things.
Just a funny bit that landed in my email today. Enjoy
The late Senator Ted Kennedy turns back over in his grave
By Neil BraithwaiteFiled Under Domestic Policy, Humor on May 22
After turning over in his grave with the election of Republican Scott Brown to his former Senate seat, the late Senator Ted Kennedy turned back over in his grave this past Thursday when Brown voted with fellow RINO’s for passage of what CNNMoney.com called, “the most sweeping regulatory overhaul of the financial system since the New Deal.”
Word from the family medium was that the late Senator Kennedy joked that if this keeps up someone will have to install a spit to accommodate all the coming turns. The Senator added that the turns were actually helpful in getting his Chivas & soda stirred.
Brown, Strickland make push for LeBron to stay in Cleveland
By Jason Wright, EditorFiled Under Humor on May 15
This cheeky attempt to keep LeBron James in Cleveland is worth watching. If for no other reason because you’ll “enjoy” seeing Gov. Strickland and other politicos “sing.” It’s pretty clever, actually, if you can handle the off-the-charts cheese factor.
I really have no reason for posting this except that something happens at the 2:32 mark that I haven’t seen in eons. It made me smile, chuckle, and rewind. And who am I to deny you the same joy?
A few weeks ago, while in the Capitol City, during our mothly trip to the big box retail gods (for one must render unto Walmart that which is Walmart’s and so on…), we saw a car covered front to back, side to side in bumper stickers. In fact there was not one inch of unstickerd space on this car. Sadly I did not have my camera, but it did look similar to this:
In response to Arizona’s newly signed immigration law, Mexico President Felipe Calderon has ordered a complete boycott of Arizona.
Orders went out from President Calderon to all Mexican citizens to discontinue use of the Arizona border as a “crossing point” and instead use only California, New Mexico and Texas.
