Miscellany

A few things I just felt like sharing...

From the ultimate Bush-shoe incident collection:

I damn near fell out of my chair when I saw that one.

Absurd: "I went to the bank and got $56 worth of rolled pennies and went down to the court house and they refused to take it. They told me to bring cash..."

Predictable: NY governor really likes your money.

Whoa: George Tenet, closet Jew-hater?

Nuance: Separate, but equal?

Ending the embargo on Cuba, still doubtful I think.

Tasty: "[B]efore Rod Blagojevich got into politics he was a bookmaker on the North Side who regularly paid the Chicago mob to operate."

Heh.

I wonder if it might be time for Amazon to crank up a computer-generated apology sincerely apologizing if you were offended by receiving the incorrect sincere apology.

Via Instapundit.

A Day of Infamy

"Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

The ultimate zombie gun?

I don't know, looks like he needs to improve the bayonet activation time. But a chainsaw/AR combo would be nice in such dire situations. (link warning: addictive bloody time-waster game)

Oops

So what's the penalty for the illegal use of thermal imaging? In this case probably nothing, unfortunately.

More .gov ridiculousness.
