Oral Surgeon, Dr. Robert Woo of Auburn, WA., thought that it would be funny to take pictures of his patient/employee while she was under anesthesia for a procedure he was performing.
The employee, Tina Alberts, has a pot-belly pig she adores and also rescues pot-belly pigs on the side. Dr. Woo would regularly make fun of her [...]
A Tennessee doctor was arrested in Seattle on July 25, 2007 for calling 911 from a pay phone at the Sea-Tac Airport to say “Flight 980 Memphis. There may be a bomb on board”.
After his arrest, Kou Wei Chiu, 31, of Bellevue, Tenn., admitted to calling 911 3 times in an attempt to stop his [...]
Tomorrow our glorious leader will take it up the ass instead of us.
President Bush will undergo a “routine” colonoscopy Saturday…
Snow told reporters Friday that Bush will have the procedure done at his Camp David, Md., mountaintop retreat.

Stupidity? Dishonesty? Duplicity? An email that has it all.
Published by July 19th, 2007 in Church & State. 1 CommentMy conservative friends manage to keep me abreast of all the scurrilous right-wing emails that are fraught with lies, deception and stupidity.

I read this shortly after a brief encounter with a Bush supporter during which he repeated the Republican mantra, “What’s the big deal? They serve at the [...]
I came across this photo while looking for images to put on a cover for a 1957 compilation CD I’m making to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of the parents of a friend of mine.
What could be more American than the combination of a mushroom cloud with a pinup girl?
For more information about the woman [...]
Today’s story from the Associated Press sounds oddly familiar…
The terrorist network Al-Qaida will likely leverage its contacts and capabilities in Iraq to mount an attack on U.S. soil, according to a new National Intelligence Estimate on threats to the United States.
I guess there’s a chance that Bush might even read this NEA report. In it [...]
Watching the Dems get nothing done in the face of Republican opposition has caused a lot of teeth gnashing lately. First of all, where’s the outrage? When the Republicans couldn’t get anything done they were rather successful at getting out the message that the Democrats were being “obstructionist.” But now it seems it’s back to [...]
