Snapped Shot

Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would not recommend taking any commercial flight or riding in a subway car “at this point” because swine flu virus can spread “in confined places.”

Once again, through self-confirmation, Vice President Joe Biden confirms that he is the worst and biggest idiot of all time. Imagine what the press would have said if a Republican vice president had said something like this. Talk about over exaggeration. Talk about fear-mongering. Talk about killing our economy during a time of recession.

I am finding it really hard to determine who is worse. VP Joe Biden or the media who refuses to really address his idiocy.

UPDATE: Ace has a few good ideas to keep yourself safe in this mucho dangero world. (said for those spanish speaking readers of ours).

Another tip from Joe Biden: Always leave yourself one bullet. If you feel an itching in your nose or throat, put the gun in your mouth and blow the virus out of the back of your head.

It was just President Hussein preparing his Ramadan card for his new Saudi King friend.

Cap'n Fish informs me that the haughty Toyota Prius seems to be developing something of a reputation as an "unreliable" car.

It's funny:—Hippies far and wide have boastfully sung the praises of the Prius, and looked down upon we Oil-Burners as if we were neanderthal carbonites intent on burning the forests and nuking the moon.

(Okay, so some of us would like to do the latter. I would say "so sue us," but if you do, Frank will send Dick Cheney's squad of laser-carrying dinosaurs after you. So it's better if you don't.)

On the other hand, right-leaning (they call themselves "Crunchy") conservatives eco-nazis harp on how "high-tech" the Prius is, and how completely superior it is to the antiquated bricks that you and I drive.

And yet, lo and behold, our haughty puffmobile seems to be confronted with the exact same time-worn problem that faces every other technological solutions to date:

The humble software bug.

Which, oddly enough, seems to be a bazillion times as deadly when the software in question happens to be running the drivetrain of a 1.3 ton hunk of steel.

Who's laughing now, hippies?

I'm not sure what kind of idiot would think that staging a photo-op involving flying a jumbo jet over downtown Manhattan was a good idea, but I suspect that he tends to hang out in the Oval Office quite a bit.

I'd also suspect that news coverage of this event would be slightly negative, would it have been committed by a President John McCain.

Seeing how the press is treating Barack so far, I'm betting this snafu—and yes: causing the panicked evacuation of a building would be a prime example of a "snafu"—will hardly be worthy of mention at all.

Fresh out of the "things I never thought I'd see" file, here's a rare example of what an angry Christian looks like:

Christians shout as they pray during an "emergency special prayer meeting" in Seoul April 25, 2009. Hundreds of enthusiastic Christians gathered on Sunday to pray for disarmament of North Korea's nuclear programme and for economic growth of South Korea among other issues at the meeting organised by a christian group. North Korea has started to extract plutonium from spent fuel rods at its nuclear arms plant, its foreign ministry said on Saturday, further raising regional tensions already stoked by its defiant rocket launch this month.

He definitely needs to work on his technique, if you ask me.

The Fairfax County Planning Commission looks like it will be discussing ISA's request to radically expand its rural campus this Thursday.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend or not, but you should be able to watch the meeting online via Channel 16.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A Palestinian health official says a man has been killed in an accident while working in one of the smuggling tunnels under the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.

Health official Moawia Hassanein says a 22-year-old man was electrocuted by cables he had rigged for light and power in the tunnel.

Saturday's death brought to 12 the number of people killed in Gaza tunneling accidents this year.

So, that's another 12 deaths to add to the death toll of "innocent civilians" killed by the Joos...

This is really sad for me. Bea Arthur was one of my favorite actresses growing up. Most of you will know her as Dorothy on "The Golden Girls." I remember her from a show called "Maude." The main character, played by Arthur, was a relative of Edith Bunker, the TV wife of Archie Bunker.

"Maude" was one of the most underrated comedies from the rebellious 70's genre.

R.I.P., Bea. I will miss you!

If by the "U.S. side" of the Mexican border, Reuters means Fairfax County, Virginia, then I'd say they're definitely on to something.

Not that we have a problem with gang activity here or anything.

The Associated Press has breathlessly announced that nearly 3 in 10!!! Americans think that Fox News is "too tough" on Obama, courtesy a new poll issued by Pew Research Center.

Question for the AP: If John McCain had won the election this past fall, and this Pew poll had returned similar results, would your organization have chosen to go with a slightly different angle?

NEWS FLASH: OVER 7 IN 10 AMERICANS THINK THAT FOX NEWS IS TOO EASY ON MCCAIN

I am left disgusted once again by what the media considers to be "journalism" these days.

Happy Earth Day everyone!!
Are you feeling a bit "green"-er today?

What? You aren't? Well, here are some self-worthy ideas that you can do to make the Earth live a bit longer. I know my efforts added another 12 seconds to man's existence.

1) Take extra long steps so that the steps/CO2 ratio increases thus reducing the overall amount of CO2 produced per step you take.

2) Quit your job. That way you don't have to drive to work using that human-killing car.

3) Lose that 400 pounds of extra weight you accumulated last Christmas. Your intake causes starving children in Darfur.

4) Hold every other breath. See Suggestion 1 as explanation.

Do you guys have any other Happy Earth Birthday Earth-Saving suggestions?
