Dan Rather ... the Clown is back in town

Hilarious!

clipped from author.nationalreview.com Rather used to compare his job to “a very high trapeze act, frequently with no net.” Three years ago, he went splat in the bull’s-eye of the center ring. Now, with the circus long since out of town, he all of a sudden wants a net rolled out. But you know what? I say, “You go, Dan!” Frankly, we need this. And by “we,” I mean a grand coalition of people who delight in watching one of the 20th century’s most pompous gasbags fall from the top of the laughingstock tree and hit every branch on the way down. These are dour times, and if Gunga Dan and Hurricane Dan and What’s-The-Frequency-Kenneth Dan want to trade their Afghan robes, yellow windbreakers and enormous tinfoil hats for some baggy pants, bright-orange wigs and floppy shoes, I say let them. I just hope all of the Dans show up at the courthouse in a teensy-weensy clown car.

Moron at MIT

This idiot is indeed lucky not to be in the morgue ... the security staff too, who would no doubt have been sued.

Farewell to the King

So I haven't eaten a Whopper for five months. Used to be my favorite fast food burger - until the last couple of times the burger and underlying bun were soggy and the patty tasted like it had been boiled or steamed. Took it to the counter and was told it was normal. Riiiight.

Called Burger King; the nice lady told me that they sometimes cook up the patty in advance, then - horror of horrors - microwave it! Thus imparting that soggy cardboard goodness.

Could they please not do that, I pleaded? No, she said, but I could ask for an un-nuked one. Gee thanks, miss, but till they fix that, I've eaten my last Wet Whopper.

And I haven't. I miss it, but I guess the last Whopper left the building ages ago.
