Oh isn’t this so cute. Dad gets a rejection letter from a prospective employee, so decides to rip it up. Baby boy goes bananas. His laugh is very cute.

I wonder if the Dad knows what a monster he’s creating? Because babies don’t read, and they won’t discriminate between merrily shredding a rejection letter versus, say, a birth certificate or tax return! HAHAHA won’t that be funny then!!!!

Just sayin’. lol…

But that baby is SO cute. Make ‘em laugh, pop. :D

Well, this was a surprise coming from *another* celebrity. CNS News has a story about Garth Brooks talking about the Oval Office and how difficult the job must be for good ol’ PBO.

Wait wait wait!! Wait a second. “The system” did he say? Don’t you mean the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Brooks? Like, the entire LAW of the LAND?!

“Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn’t allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I’m sure nobody’s more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he’s trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it’s got to be hell in that office.”

No, it isn’t “all” that “we” want to do. I am kinda partial to the Constitution. We aren’t going to throw out the very founding documents that made this country great AND protect our freedoms just because you “love Obama” and Obama needs to “do his job.” It’s the Constitution that MAKES Obama president, hello!!! Some folks have heads too big to fit their ten gallon hats, I tell ya.

Folks, I’m sorry. I’ve been trying to be funny and not as crabby, but yow. Stories like this make me scairt. I need to go bury myself into seo moz again to lower my blood pressure…

Odyssey Dawn? That’s what President Obama’s [unconstitutional] military strikes into Libya are named? LOL. I dunno, it just sounds kind of funny, like a girl’s name.

You all know I usually try to avoid politics and current events on this blog (*snicker*) but I got this funny in my email and just HAVE to share.

Apparently the White House tossed out a number of perfectly good names before arriving at “Operation Odyssey Dawn”:

10.Operation Nine Months In The Senate Didn’t Prepare Me For This
9. Operation Organizing for Libya
8. Operation Double Standard
7. Operation FINE! I’ll Do Something
6. Operation Enduring Narcissism
5. Operation So That’s What the Red Button Does
4. Operation France Backed Me Into A Corner
3. Operation Start Without Me
2. Operation Unlike Bush Wars This One Is Justified Because Hey Look A Squirrel
1. Operation Aimless Fury

Hee hee! I especially like #1 and #2. SO apropos! Hahahahah!!!

OK, enough fooling around. Turn off those sweet samsung 3d tvs and get back to work, everyone!

*palm in face*

people, people, people.

This is just INSANE. HOW can this BE?!?!?!

Yesterday I told you about my package, currently enroute to my door. Well, *KIND OF.* I ordered my product from a company in New York State (where I live)– and the warehouse is actually only about 150 miles from my doorstep.

I ordered the product online, and on March 14th it was finally shipped out.

I’m still waiting for the product.

You know why?

THIS IS WHY! Can you understand this insane logic????

This is a map of the shipping truck that is currently carrying my little product. The package has traveled through THREE STATES, over 1,500 miles for several days. Can you understand that mess? Ah, let me try to explain it.

#1. Package origin: Edgewood, NY. Follow the red arrows to….

#2. Groveport, Ohio. huh?? Follow the green arrows to….

#3. Buffalo, NY. Ah! The package will soon be here, right?? Uh, no. Follow the pink arrows to….

#4 Erie, Pennsylvania. NO IDEA why they turned the whole kit and kaboodle 360 to backtrack. Keep following the pink arrows to…

#5. Warrendale, Pennsylvania. I’m getting carsick…. Follow the yellow arrows to….

#6. Buffalo, NY. AGAIN. Idjits. Follow the rest of the yellow arrows to….

Well, nowhere. I still haven’t received the package.

In case you’re wondering, the package is a calculator. Yep, a handheld scientific calculator. I thought about going to the local Wally World to get one for my son, but I didn’t have a car that day, and— heck– I kinda figured the thing wouldn’t go ’round the world in 80 days if I ordered it online. My son needed the calculator for a math test. A math test he finished last Wednesday.

I’m just… beyond disgusted. This is almost funny. I just may need help from a medical assistance program by the time I get my package. Or maybe the delivery man will, I tell you what….

I don’t get it.

Several days ago, I ordered something online.

I LOVE shopping online, by the way. No crowds of people sneezing and coughing their germs into my sterile space, no crazy traffic threatening my safety and raising my blood pressure, no outta-this-world sales tax that bankrolls the powerful NY special interests… nuttin. Online shopping is da BOMMB, I tell you! ANd the sky is the limit– you can buy car parts, heated mattress pads, beds, even CARS online! Very cool.

But the logic of the shipping companies elude me. I’ve been following one particular shipment. The item I purchased was from somewhere in New York State– Edgewood, NY, to be exact. Only about 480 miles from me. I could DRIVE out to Edgewood to pick up the package, and be back for dinner. But I’m still waiting for my package, 4, 5 days later.

The shipping company sent it to Colombus, Ohio.

HUH?

Look, I made a visual representation for those of us who went to public school and need some help with geography. Here:

The shipping company (who will remain unnamed because I don’t want to get sued for “slander” even though ALL I’m doing is taking note of some facts) took my little package out of state, over 1,000 miles away, and then back up again.

WHY don’t they just make a beeline directly to ME?!?!

OK OK I KNOW that the shipping company isn’t going to directly and personally run my little package to me straight from the store warehouse. But HOLY COW, 1,000 miles?! Come on!

Really, WHY did they do this? Did my package perhaps get accidentally rerouted out of the way? Mistakes happen, I can understand that, sure. But I estimate that 1/4 of all packages I order online go through these super-loopy shipping lanes.

What do you think?

How very, very insulting to citizens of the United States.

OUR president, President Barack Obama, has told people (according to Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard and the New York Times) that “it would be so much easier to be the president of China.”

Well, Mr. Obama, GO RIGHT AHEAD. Good riddance! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

What an ingrate.

Unfortunately, PBO is the president of the U.S. As Kristol said, “Barack Obama ran for president of the United States. Maybe he should start behaving as one.”
