Quote I

From a too-fancy party last night: "Guess what, Bird Dog, I have an announcement for ya."

"OK, I am listening."

"I've gone vegetarian."

"That's cool," I said. "You are fitting in exactly to the joke about vegetarians telling everybody. But why?"

"Mostly to feel morally superior to other people like you, secondarily for my triglycerides."

Excellent response. I love our friends. So lucky to have them all, especially at Christmastime. I didn't bother correcting him on his medical ignorance, because cheerful friends don't correct people at Christmas parties.

Nobody likes a pedantic a-hole. Bird Dog - Maggie's Farm

Quote II

"It was thrilling. It was a lot of tonnage coming down, that's for sure, and it was a good, neat job. They had it all planned out — they'd been working on it for a couple years — and it came down real sweet." Susan McDonald

Quote III

“In a frenetic campaign where we’ve produced hundreds of hours of output, of course we’ve made the odd mistake and we’ve held up our hands to them. Editors are making tough calls every minute of the day. But I don’t accept the view of those critics who jump on a handful of examples to suggest we’re somehow biased one way or the other.”Tony Hall

Quote IV

"I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything...living standards and outcomes." Former President Barack Hussein Obama

We are suppose to cheer for the good guys vs. bad guys. FBI bust streaming services built upon pirated content.

Two programmers in Las Vegas recently admitted to running two of the largest illegal television and movie streaming services in the country, according to federal officials.

One of the platforms reportedly had more content than Netflix, Hulu and other popular licensed streaming platforms.

An FBI investigation led officials to Darryl Polo, 36, and Luis Villarino, 40, who have pleaded guilty to copyright infringement charges for operating iStreamItAll, a subscription-based streaming site, and Jetflix, a large illegal TV streaming service, federal officials said Friday.

With roughly 118,000 TV episodes and 11,000 movies, iStreamItAll provided members with more content than Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Vudu, according to prosecutors.

Why do I have my doubts that the FBI was above board?

Good parents strive to teach their children right from wrong, actions have consequences and shame. Somewhere along the line Thomas Roche was short changed.

A jobless father-of-eight who won £3.75million on a gambling website is still claiming up to £3,000 a month in benefits despite splashing out on a six-bedroom home and five luxury cars.

Thomas Roche, 30, hit the jackpot in October but has left friends furious by continuing to claim child benefits, child tax credits and disability living allowance because those are not means-tested.

Along with his wife Shelley, also 30, and their large brood, Mr Roche is upping sticks from their council home in Eltham, South East London, to an £850,000 six-bedroom home with stables and three acres of land near Dover in Kent.

Since landing his jackpot, the former travellers have bought five cars and a quad bike, but they have faced criticism.

However, Mrs Roche said on Facebook today: 'Me and my husband, we are not bad people. We have eight beautiful children together and have been together for the last 15 years.

Certainly reproducing like rodents is a wondrous accomplishment.

Is she getting ready for another run? Or does she just want to look like an alcoholic chipmunk?

Funny how the deep state didn't make the cut.

Wonder what the outcome of this will be. It appears Finland is the place for peace, love and understanding if you are an ISIS fighter.

Leaked documents from the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs show that the government has planned to fly Islamic State extremists and their children back to Finland.

The document is dated from last month and states that the ministry has set up a group to look into chartering flights for Islamic State members currently in Syria’s al-Hol prison camp, flying them to Iraq and then to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, Yle reports.

It doesn't matter where. It doesn't matter when. Progressives world wide are assholes.

Sir Rod Stewart has come under fire from Celtic supporters after congratulating Boris Johnson for securing a landslide victory in last week’s general election.

In a tweet thanking fans after his 10th album topped the UK charts, the 74-year-old singer also praised the re-elected prime minister just hours after the Conservatives’ majority was confirmed.

“Thank you once again to my legions of fans who I will never take for granted,” he said. “Bless you all and a Merry Christmas. Well done Robbie, well done Boris, no hard feelings Pete Townshend! Rod xxx”

I wonder if those boorish scum sucking weasels would like to give Stewart all of his tax money back. Just thinkin' out loud is all.

What's the old adage? Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt. AOC opens mouth and full blown stupidity flows forth.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tried to sign up for congressional health insurance on Sunday, and ended up getting outraged and then ridiculed.

In a series of tweets, the New York Democrat complained that gold-level Obamacare, a government-subsidized perk of her office, required her to shop for a policy on an exchange. She deemed it “absurd” that she was forced to choose between “66 complex financial products.”

“No person should go without healthcare, &no one should go through this, either,” she said.

That's right David French, I'm a mouth breathing deplorable. And this is Reason #1422 I enjoy President Donny Two Scoops as our current Commander in Chief.

Trump took advantage of Pelosi’s nervous habit of sucking her teeth, which takes on the appearance of chewing her cud, to tweet, “Because Nancy’s teeth were falling out of her mouth, and she didn’t have time to think!

I've been to a few work related conferences over the years. Usually the entertainment is somewhat related to the theme of the conference or some plain Jane generic event. Not sure how a transgender stripper helps out the homeless conference.

Seattle Hires Transgender Stripper To Perform At Conference To Solve Homelessness

Last week, Seattle and King County leaders hired transgender stripper Beyoncé Black St. James to perform at their annual conference on solving homelessness.

Do you have the social media savvy to rack up the Royal Family’s followers? The Queen is looking for someone with ‘creative flair’ who can maintain her ‘presence in the public eye and on the world stage’. It could include leading a small team of media specialists to cover a State Visit or a Royal engagement in a way that appeals to social media users young and old. The family’s new Head of Digital Engagement is being offered between £45,000 and £50,000 working 37.5 hours a week, Monday to Friday.

Sounds like a good paying gig for the slackers, Steve Hayes and Joan Goldberg.

President Trump standing up to the press has rubbed off on others.

In fact, Trump’s oft-repeated “fake news” and “enemy of the people” pronouncements are little more than echoes of a decades-old deep and growing distrust toward the mainstream media by just about everybody who isn’t a liberal partisan.

That sentiment was on display when a woman repeatedly expressed her lack of trust in the media as she disrupted a live shot by an MSNBC reporter in the halls of the Capitol building while he attempted to deliver a report on the ongoing impeachment effort.

Correspondent Garrett Haake was only a few seconds into his report for MSNBC host Nicole Wallace when he began to back up and motioned for his cameraman to follow him.

And Chris Wallace FOAD.

2 valuable lessons, don't be a Dick and don't kill Dicks.

An ‘exhibitionist’ who liked to expose his penis as a ‘party trick’ was stabbed to death by his friend who thought he was being ‘sexually propositioned’, a court heard. Paul Lundy, 48, thought he was ‘God’s gift to ladies’ and would regularly expose his genitals in front of other people because he was ‘proud of its size’, jurors were told. But on May 22 he was knifed three times by Nathan Calder, 28, who claimed the victim had ‘sexually propositioned and manhandled him’. However, friends and family of Mr Lundy denied that he had been sexually interested in his friend and said he was ‘just a bit too affectionate when he had a drink’. Calder was found unanimously guilty of murder by a jury at Worcester Crown Court, despite claiming he had acted in self-defence.

Special SnowflakesRugrats wanted dog. They got dog and became Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A group of elementary schoolers managed to persuade their principal to adopt a therapy dog for the school.

Not only has the pup’s presence made a dramatic impact on the school, he has also brought joy to the animal shelter that adopted him out.

Back in 2018, the first grade students at Reeths-Puffer Elementary School in Muskegon, Michigan conducted a writing exercise in which they wrote letters to their principal citing evidence on how a therapy dog would benefit their students.
