Did you hear that the Big Smoldering One hasn't had a cigarette in a year? (according to his wife) First off, I don't believe it. And B, why did they tell us this?
I expect that some new cigarette penalty is coming. I'd come to the defense of my former brothers in ash, but hey, they're coming after light bulbs, desserts, and even salt. It's every man for himself.

Why You Don't Join the Math Club
As often happened on these field trips, Arjunconvinced himself that he wasn't really there.
Ha-ha-ha-ha Condolences
I only became a Catholic as an adult but I can remember knowing about indulgences as a Lutheran kid. In fact, I had the idea of selling indulgences. Without any authority do do so, in my spare time, carrying no weight in law or in the church, sort of like Al Gore's carbon offsets.
But it's indulgences, Erin, you heathen. You know how sometimes in a box of assorted chocolates, you'll pick one out and find that someone has dented it underneath to see what kind it is? And it wasn't what they wanted so they put it back? Well, condolences are what we give their family if we ever find out who is doing this to perfectly good chocolates.

Pug Power
Susie, our pug, was like that with Doritos, and with saltines, and potato chips, and french fries. In fact, she would eat leaves and notebook paper if you told her it was food.
Don't Talk to Me About Precision
I don't need military precision in my half time shows, but it would have been nice if they'd gotten the sound system right.
Keep Your Assistance
How do those nine most chilling words go "I'm from the government and I'm here to help..."?
The always plugged in Michelle Malkin has the video on how the state shall save us. I could only watch the first two planks of the government "bridge" being built.
The first plank was capital - the government plans match capital from the private sector... Um yeah, remember "we don't want to own a car company"? Well Obama still owns a car company. And though he could exit within a year, after putting his guy at the helm and setting a course for hippie green enviro land, he isn't out yet and I didn't want him there in the first place. Government money isn't needed.
The second plank, and this is where I clicked him off, is regulations - the glowing One will look at how regulations and paperwork can be reduced so that they don't hinder the small businessman. Well what a load of government crap that is. They just got through adding 1099 reporting, they've regulated oil drilling into the toilet, and the EPA is getting ready to tax carbon. It's just a lie to say that this administration wants to cut regulations.
Did I ever tell you about how the government streamlined my paperwork? They erased my EIN. This voided my CCR registration, which is needed to get paid. So I call the IRS and they explain how it got erased. Oh, good, I was sooo happy to know how they did it. Then they did mumbo-jumbo to fix it, and told me to check back in two or three months, "better make it closer to three." OK good, just three months of not getting paid. So I can live with that... until three months go by and still my EIN was broken. So I do it again, and again, and again. Each time I'm supposed to check back in three months. It took more than a year to get my paperwork straight again. (and finally get paid for the work I had done) So no, Mr O. I'll believe you want to ease the government burden when I see it. Just do it and quit promising to do it.
This isn't a government bridge, it's a gibbet. Luckily for us, it's being built by the government and will possibly collapse under its own weight.

Just Jog Your Way to Prosperity
Doesn't it look like the One is going to do a Steve Balmer?
Today Obama woos the Chamber of Commerce. But energy and attitude aren't needed. Jobs will happen quicker if he'll just stop demonizing the people he's giving the pep talk to. Maybe drop the excessive regulation, the bans on drilling, the carbon taxes, mandated health coverage, the extra paperwork.
Also, watch to see if the twenty or so protesters who showed up across the street get more coverage than the hundreds of thousands who went to the March for Life.
