I would argue that stacking Marxists like cord wood is great.   ;)

    I understand that they're smokeless.

I understand they stink like death no matter what you do with 'em.

A Moral Quiz:
 
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you
will have to make a decision.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

THE SITUATION:

You are in Florida , Miami to be specific.
There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe
flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're
caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people
swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.
Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a black man in the water. He is fighting for his
life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer.
Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's
Barrack Obama! At the same time you notice that the raging waters
are about to take him under forever.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:

You can save the life of Barrack Obama or you can shoot a dramatic
Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's
most powerful socialist Muslim men hell bent on the destruction of America.

THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer........
"Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?"

High contrast color of course, using black and white would be raaacist.

High speed black and white (maybe 400ASA) with a wide aperture setting and a quick shutter speed ('cause it's an action shot) would give you one of those classic grainy photos that look so good on the covers of magazines. High contrast color if the photo is for a personal photo album or maybe for posting on the internet. If the light was good enough, Kodachrome, of course.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

I am duty-bound to save his miserable skin. So I'd go back to my car (looking both ways before crossing the street of course), fish out my blow-up life perserver, dig through my stuff and find the air compressor, verify that I have a UL-approved outlet, locate my pressure gage so that I didn't overfill, blow the lifesaver ring up, and return to the scene of the calamity (taking the same due-dilligence) in order to attempt the rescue.

Darn - too late.

Phooey!

Let's see... he's drowning... chaos everywhere...

Is there any secret service around? I might not wanna trust that the flood would do what needs to be done.

Shooting with a camera? I have an even better idea.

If there were secret service around and it looked as though it would fall to *you* to save him, I'd say pull up a seat and help them watch.

And, in related news, MA (democrat, of course) state rep John Fresolo is in trouble for sending dick pics to a female coworker via state government computer/email...I guess because he, too, is so proud of his penis.

I like this because it targets both sides...seriously, the Republicans are just as culpable with their voting for one CR after another. So screw them all.

This could easily be the punchline for one of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck..." jokes.


And since I'm talking about it, did you know that Jeff Foxworthy now has his own line of snacks? Serious. No joke. They are called "Grit Chips" and they even have their own Facebook page. Coming soon, I guess, to a store near you.

Sure, the snake did it, lets completly ignore that a woman poured gasoline on it and lit it, it was the snake.  Why can't people accept responsibility for there own actions.   ::gaah::

I know there are entire websites dedicated to the "awkward family photo" genre that are much more extensive, but I stumbled across this and it had me literally crying with laughter...
