Another one from Tam:
Barry needs better market penetration amongst unhip middle-age ofay folks in flyover country, and those people love them some Leno.

My favorite is “I can’t hear the TV while I’m eating crunchy snacks.”
“Don’t worry. We’re still going to the range on Saturday.”
Another in the endless parade of Downfall bunker scene satires, this one is the best I’ve seen so far. Of course, the subject matter has a lot to do with that:

Operating System Humor
My brother gave me this one. I hadn’t seen it before:
He has a desktop unit he “upgraded” to Vista back when it first came out. It became an instant doorstop. His new machine runs Windows 7.
My new work laptop is running Windows 7. So far, meh. My home machine is running XP Pro.
Quote of the Day – Historical Edition
Checking my referrer logs, I found a link to a very old post here, a reproduction of a rec.guns post by Crystal River, Florida pawnbroker J. David Phillips. I found out from that link that Mr. Phillips, the survivor of a samurai sword attack by a deranged customer several years ago, has sometime since passed on.
Looking for an obituary on Mr. Phillips, I stumbled across something else entirely, though it was also related to Mr. Phillips through the story of that sword attack. From this FiringLine thread comes today’s Quote of the Day:
Bottom line: this woman couldn’t get a clue if she smeared herself with clue musk and did the clue mating dance in the middle of a field full of horny clues at the height of the clue mating season.
Read the post this comes from. It’s a perfect assessment. And applicable to more than just clueless columnists.
Quote of the Day – Tam (Again) Edition
She brings the socio-political snark with a vengeance:
And seriously, Egypt: I have to admire the pluck, but how many ass-whippings do you need to take at the hands of the Israelis before you realize that your days of martial glory were buried with Ramses II? You’ve been conquered by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, French, and British. The only nation you’ve defeated in war since the discovery of iron is Libya, and they can’t even kick their own ass without outside help.
The French. That’s gotta hurt.

I got this one from my brother.
Spenditol!
I just saw this on TV:

Haven’t seen one like this before, outside of Powerline’s contest.
Earthquake Jokes
So there was a bit of an earthquake in Virginia this afternoon, and its effects were felt quite distinctly in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas.
The jokes, of course, began immediately. Some of my favorites:
They discovered an new fault just outside Washington: Bush’s Fault.
That wasn’t an earthquake – the Founding Fathers are actually spinning in their graves.
That was no earthquake, that was the debt ceiling shattering!
Paul Krugman said it wasn’t big enough.
Everyone in Washington left work early due to the earthquake. The economy experienced a brief rebound.
The earthquake is Palin’s fault. She’s been threatening to “shake things up”!!
