Yet Another Reminder: No Posts Tomorrow

Join the rest of us and refuse to work on May Day, May 1st, unless you’re in a job — such as firefighter or cop or paramedic, et al — where you really can’t afford to take the day off due to the harm it might cause. See you on Wednesday, May 2nd.

Weird Pix for April 30, 2012

1. I bet the beds sold well.

2. This pink pistol was actually available for sale at the Susan G. Komen breast cancer site until contributors complained — back in the days when they still had contributors.

3. Finally, honest soup can instructions.

4. My Irish ancestry on one side of the family compelled me to do some of this sort of ‘transcendental meditation’ me own self. Aye!

5. And speaking of yoga, a Zen dog.

6. But then there’s this, even for Zen dogs.

7. Perhaps this jolly book was in the waiting room at the vets.

8. Good parenting advice for those with small children, but no need to stop at telemarketers; annoying friends and relatives would be also be fine recipients for this distinction.

9. Perhaps this is a new restaurant?

Video: Walt Disney and Kotex, “The Story of Menstruation”

What red-blooded American doesn’t want to know the story of menstruation as told by Walt Disney and Kotex? (Seriously, at least the info is reasonably accurate and presented fairly impartially, albeit it is still a cartoon.)

Video: Fox News and Romney Continue to Promote Myth That Obama Apologized for America

It never happened, but when has that stopped Fox in pursuit of a good smear? And now they’ve got their sociopathic ‘last man standing’ presidential candidate Mitt Romney babbling the same nonsense. Romney has also been falsely attacking Obama for not doing enough to fight America’s terrorist enemies and tyrants — what cave was Romney in when Osama Bin Laden and Muammar Gadaffy were killed and Hosni Mubarak deposed? In the last couple of minutes of the video below, watch Dana Perino verbally dribble all over herself (yes, they pay her for these opinions), while the rest of the gang debates the ‘glory’ of American exceptionalism and infers Obama sold us out to the Chinese. More odiferous bullshit: the Republican Party, and the global corporations for which they stand, have been banging the outsourcing gong for 30 years while Junior Bush borrowed money from the Chinese to keep us afloat and laded on the massive debt — all because he wouldn’t raise taxes on the rich to pay for his wars and other irresponsible schemes. They are truly ‘all the way through the looking glass’ at Fox these days — the flop sweat of desperation is nearly palpable.

Fox Won’t Let Go Of Ridiculous Myth That Obama “Apologized” For America

Media Matters
April 26, 2012 11:28 pm ET

Fox News is once again pushing the myth that President Obama “apologized” for the United States, following a speech by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in which he vowed to “never again apologize for America.” In fact, Obama has never made such an apology.
