It appears the Republican Presidential nominee John McCain has decided to throw a curve ball at Obama Nation.  He has done the one thing Barack Obama refused to do, he has chosen a woman to be his running-mate.

So who is Sarah Palin? I did some looking into her background. By that I of course mean that I looked her up on Wikipedia.  What I found was interesting:

  • She is 44 years old
  • She is married to a Yup’ik Eskimo named “Todd”.
  • Her oldest son enlisted in the U.S. Army last year and will be deploying to Iraq next month.
  • She is staunchly anti-abortion.
  • She is a life-time member of the NRA.
  • She recently gave birth to a child with Down syndrome.
  • She enjoys killing and eating defenseless animals.
  • She owns her own float-plane.
  • She finished in 2nd place in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant.
  • She admits that she used to smoke marijuana when it was legal in Alaska.

So there you go.  That’s pretty much all you need to know about John McCain’s running-mate.

She reportedly will be joining John McCain in Dayton, Ohio to officially make the announcement.  If it was me and I had to go to Dayton to become Vice-President, I would turn down the offer.

Ohio man takes a bath at Burger King


This prick’s name is Timothy Tackett and he used to work (past tense) at a Xenia, Ohio Burger King. Evidently he thought it would be hilarious to bathe in the fast food restaurant’s deep-well sink. Not only was he fired, but so was everyone else that was privy to this stupid act of depravity.

They wash vegetables in that sink. If you ever ate at a Burger King in Xenia, Ohio and you thought the tomatoes on your Whopper tasted like ass, now you know why.

This has got to be the first time ever that someone in Ohio actually got in trouble for bathing.

3 convicted in Ohio of plotting to kill U.S. servicemenA federal jury convicted three Ohio men of plotting to attack U.S. troops overseas. Mohammad Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum were convicted of conspiring to kill or injure people outside the United States and face sentences of life in prison.

Not that I want to tell a wannabe terrorist how to take care of his business, but I think they would have had an easier time carrying out their terrorist plans if they didn’t make themselves look like terrorist extras from a really bad Chuck Norris movie.

Not that there is such a thing as a really good Chuck Norris movie.

What were these guys thinking? The fella on the right looks like he has West Virgina roadkill hanging from his chin.

If they really wanted to stick it to American service members, they should have just opened a pawn shop or a payday loan store outside a military base. That’s what everyone else that wants to screw over military people do.

Nearby Mount St. Mary’s men’s basketball team will play Coppin State — also from Maryland — tonight in a pre-NCAA men’s basketball tournament game in Dayton, Ohio. The two schools are located only about 50 miles from each other. Why go all the way to Dayton to play? If you’ve never been to Dayton, your lucky. It’s a poor man’s Cleveland, only not as fancy or pretentious.

The winning team then goes on this Friday to play the #1 ranked team in the nation, the North Carolina Tar Heels. It gets better; The game will be played in Raleigh, North Carolina.

I wonder who the crowd will be rooting for.

I was listening to the Dan Patrick show yesterday and he was asking callers where some of the so-called “mid-major schools” were located. When he asked about Mount St. Mary, it never even occurred to me that it was the same Mount St. Mary located in nearby Emmitsburg. I wouldn’t even call them a mid-major. It’s a small Catholic school located north of Thurmont where I used to work. I would sometimes listen to games on the radio when I was work.

It was either that or country music.
