Definition of Irony

Mississippi Governor, and Teabagger, Haley Barbour:

"Barbour said he has not yet requested emergency federal aid but plans to do so on Monday." GASP! Federal monies? "You can NOT be serious."

"No matter what, you don't throw children in brush piles."

My thought exactly.

As quoted by guy mowing land that found abandoned 6 year old. Maybe lay or gently toss. But don't throw.

"I am tho ekthited..."

I know Tim Tebow is excited and a tough guy to boot, but he needs to take care of that speech impediment. Espethially if he's going to be calling thignals in the huddle. A good Speech Language Therapist, maybe?

PETA in the Far North

Driving to work this morning and saw a truck with a PETA bumper sticker. Thought this was strange and out of character. Got closer and saw the fine print: "People Eating Tasty Animals" That's more like it. :)

Can't see Russia from here...

but can see the Wasilla Phone Book (click on image and enlarge).

And there's lots of daylight to see it with. Went to bed at 9:30 (local) last night and it was still daylight. Sunrise today - 6:25; Sunset - 9:32. Whereas our days in Dallas grow longer 2 minutes a day - 1 at sunrise and sunset - here it's 6 minutes a day (3 in morning/3 at night). Thus, class, 2 months from Wednesday on the "longest day of the year," in Anchorage Sunrise/Sunset will be 180 minutes later/earlier, or 12:30 am for Sunset; 3:30 am for Sunrise.

Test will follow later.
