A Recent Headline: Leaders of G20 vow to reshape global economy.
My biggest fear is that they will!

Well now we know how the Obama universal healthcare plan will work for people who can't currently afford insurance - you either pay three grand for coverage or the government will fine you three grand for not having coverage.

But with support for Obamacare rising, Sandi Murray, 65, of Hesperia, Mich., said she doesn't have any concerns her Medicare coverage will suffer. 'I think it will be A-OK,' she said." I think her head is O-A-K!

A Mess-o-Muslims converged on DC a couple weeks ago where they all prayed together publicly thus demonstrating that when Muslims are on their peaceful best behavior, they're still scary as hell!

ACORN thanked the two people who posed as sex traders in order to expose corruption in the organization - by suing them!

Meanwhile, nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN instead, despite a Congressional intent to cut off federal funding. Actually, this makes sense. ACORN has a bigger fire raging within the organization than any fire department is likely to face.

A Recent Headline: Pakistani Factions Battle Over Billions in Aid From U.S.
Meanwhile, people lined up in Detroit yesterday when they heard they could get $3000. in Stimulus money, but there wasn't any to be had. The government neglected to tell them the line started in Pakistan!

After David Letterman joked that Sarah Palin's daughter had been knocked up by Alex Rodriguez, we come to learn that Letterman has been playing around with staff members for just about...well... ever. He's publicly apologized to his wife, but that'll teach him to mess with the vast right-wing conspiracy!

On Monday, CNN fact-checked a Saturday Night Live skit that was mildly critical of President Obama. Many people were shocked that CNN would consider a comedy sketch worth checking, but I wasn't - I was shocked that CNN was concerned about facts!

And Wolf Blitzer was one of the CNN guys checking on the accuracy of the Saturday Night Live bit. In his defense, he only did it because he thought it would be novel to know a few facts if he goes on Jeopardy again

When asked yesterday if he felt President Obama was incompetent, Neil Cavuto couldn't say "no" fast enough. It was exactly the way a guy responds to his girlfriend's question, "Do I look fat?" But unlike the guy, Cavuto isn't likely to get any from Obama!

A Recent Headline: Warming blamed for dwindling caribou herds
Oh yeah!? Well I CREDIT warming because my microwave now takes less time to reheat my coffee.

I recently told a friend that I had Tinnitus in one ear, and she asked if I was aware that a high percentage of serial killers have the condition. I told her I wasn't... but that could explain why I want to murder so many people!?

Now this...

Hey, how about those Republicans... ?!?



You know, I think if Presidents Bush and Obama are ever together again on the same stage, my head will just immediately explode.

As long as you need to keep reheating your coffee, you`re doing OK. Would hate to think what happened if you wrote about your "longs"

One thing I'm learning about BloggersBase is that unlike BestoftheBlogs, where I also syndicate my articles, BloggersBase is disconcertingly conservative.

I'll say this Ted. You do lay out the conservative talking points in an entertaining way. The only "short" I find disturbing is your gripe with the peaceful assembly of Muslims. You'll get no argument from me when you decry the violence of the radicals, but making wise cracks about Muslims exercising their American rights in a peaceful fashion just comes off as plain bigotry.

My first time reading one of your posts here, and I'm so glad I did. It was hard to decide, but my favorite line is "Many people were shocked that CNN would consider a comedy sketch worth checking, but I wasn't - I was shocked that CNN was concerned about facts!" Sums it all up so well.

I like the one about how Acorn has a bigger fire raging than most fire departments will ever see.

Here's something I saw in James Taranto's column today that relates to some content in my post...

"CNN has become the butt of a running joke meme on Twitter for its lame fact-check criticism of the Saturday Night Live skit which lampooned President Obama for making too many promises that he has yet to keep," reports blogger D.K. Jamaal. Here are some examples:

• @DefiantKembro 'El Nino' is not Spanish for "the Nino" #CNNFactCheck

• @EnasYorl "Wayne's World" was not really a public access cable show. #CNNfactcheck

• @ArielAkiva The superfans were not actually having heart attacks. #cnnfactcheck

• @thecomeback After checking every river in America, we have not been able to find a motivational speaker living in a van. #CNNfactcheck

• @jeffdobbs: Over half of Saturday Night Live is NOT ON SATURDAY NIGHT for Eastern time zone. Outrage. #CNNFactCheck

• @jkfecke In fact, Blue �yster Cult never included a cowbell player named Gene Frenkle--the musician didn't exist. #CNNFactCheck

• @mikehassinger: This just in: "Toonces the driving cat" not real cat, can't even DRIVE! #CNNFactCheck


We noted the CNN/PolitiFact.com "fact check" yesterday, but this latest development has us nervous. We have it on good authority that not everything on Twitter is true. Who will fact-check the fact-checkers of the fact-checkers?

As always, I can't decide which "short" is my favorite. But I really loved " 'I think it will be A-OK,' she said." I think her head is O-A-K!" Very, very clever! You're the best!
