Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
He must be quite a guy…
You all know me, I’m not a judgmental kind of guy. But on some rare occasions I DO form strong opinions, and gosh darn it, if I’m not careful I’m afraid I’ll go after somebody with this pickle fork I’m holding.
What do I see on our photo file? Levi Johnston at TWO glitzy Los Angeles galas in one evening, including the GQ magazine “Men of the Year” party.
Palin leaves office with relish?
What’s wrong, Blog Guy? I don’t understand!
Huh? You don’t understand what?
I’ve been seeing pictures of former governor Sarah Palin yesterday serving hot dogs as she left the governor’s job. Isn’t that a natural for you? Why aren’t you all over it?
Oh, that. It’s just too obvious. Too easy. What would I even say?
OK people…. cool it. An internet debate is like one for disturbed minds – even if you win, you still look like idiots. Besides, nobody is EVER supposed to learn anything here.
From Sarah Palin to the jacuzzi floozy!
I understand this is a tad anticlimactic, since we’ve already announced this blog’s most popular posts for all of 2008.
But for you folks who wager on the best of the month, and you know who you are, these were the five most popular posts for December.
Naturally I was disappointed that my post on tipping your favorite bloggers wasn’t in the top five, but the readers have spoken.
Happy New Year to all, and please remember: friends don’t let friends not read this blog!
To associate Sarah Palin with these three dimwits, even loosely (which this is not) once again betrays the media bias. Where is the blog post associating Michelle Obama with militant black women? Hmmm, I haven’t seem that yet…I wonder why. Maybe it’s because the hidden message is that it’s OK to bash and belittle conservatives and their ideals, but any good liberal knows not to question other liberals. That’s true tolerance for you. Welcome to the new USSR.
Palin’s a MAVRIK! What’s that?
Cripes. Here’s one of those end-of-the year stories where experts talk about the language in 2008. A dictionary publisher has listed the words that received the highest intensity of lookups over the shortest period.
I’m all for improving vocabulary, but first on the list was BAILOUT, and third was SOCIALISM. If people really needed to look those up, they should also look up PATHETIC in connection with our schools.
Also among the words were BIPARTISAN – really – and MAVERICK, which maybe the candidates wouldn’t have used so often had they known how confusing it was. Heck, I can remember when Maverick was a television show that everybody watched.
While I’m ranting about words here, I’d like to mention an unfortunate byproduct of our financial woes.
Mom: it’s the people like you that make fun of our leaders that are a disgrace!
What you need to know before voting!
I’ve received a number of e-mails this weekend from undecided voters, asking for last-minute advice. I’m afraid I can’t help those people. If you’re undecided 48 hours before voting, I’m guessing you can’t even choose a breakfast cereal for yourself.
However, it has been a long campaign and it’s worth revisiting some of the themes we’ve featured in this blog.
Photo-wise, we’ve covered all the major shots: Shoes, stair climbing, sunglass reflections, hugs and ice cream.
As far as issues, we’ve addressed all the big ones: UFOs, literary scenes, fuel efficiency and country music.
Roche – I think you lost me at the Obama endorsement. I feel it’s an example of picking between the lesser of two evils. Do we occupy this country or that one? Do we overspend on this government program or that one? In addition, they both supported the bailout. I agree with Jason and Mary K. People have third party choices and they are VALID choices. It’s not about picking a winner… It’s about voting your conscious.
Supporters get sticker shock?
Okay gang, listen up! Ernie came up with a GREAT idea I want to share with you!
As you know, we ordered WAY too many McCain Palin bumper stickers, considering most people can’t afford to drive their cars anymore.
But instead of just going to waste, Ernie sent them over to the rally, to have people stick ‘em on their heads! Kind of like hats, only cheaper! Ernie says it’s a solid sea of supporters with bumper stickers on their foreheads over there!
Lou, if you want to whine about destruction go elsewhere this is a comedy blog.
I will update my comment about the bumper sticker staying on devaluing the car, I will update it to include a provision. If you put a mccain OR obama sticker on your car you should be forced to report it to some agency as worse than an accident wreck so the next person doesn’t get poisoned by the self righteous nature of both sides. Some of that stink might be contagious and be lingering in the fabric of the car.
Well, they WERE wearin’ lipstick!
Hey, Blog Guy! I’m in Las Vegas this week, and you won’t even believe who I saw at a strip club! It involves a certain…
Let me stop you right there. You saw a Sarah Palin look-alike stripper contest, right? Now see, if the real candidate had been there, our reporters would have written it up.
Oh. Yeah, the one I saw did seem to change outfits very quickly. So those tough guys guarding the stage weren’t Secret Service?
Looks like Sarah Palin is “energizing” not just the Republican base but the strippers and men as well, lol.
Don’t “quote” me on this…
Blog Guy, I saw a picture of presidential candidate John McCain using “air quotes” yesterday. What was that about?
It could have been a couple of things. I think when he talks about his time as a prisoner of war he puts air quotes around “Hanoi Hilton,” because he wants people to know it wasn’t a REAL Hilton, which in many cases would be nicer than a prison cell.
Ah. Or what else could it be?
He also may have been talking about his running mate, “Governor” Sarah Palin. Traditionally, the chief executives of certain “states,” like Alaska, are referred to as “governor,” not governor. Similarly, you will recall that Bill Clinton was once the “governor” of “Arkansas.”
I’ll have a half-calf latte, please…
A McCain supporter from Pennsylvania writes to say she attended a rally there yesterday and was impressed with Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
“I just wondered if you have any news photographs of Palin’s legs and shoes at that event, which I can save for my grandchildren?” she asks.
We sure do! Take your pick. From yesterday’s rally we’ve got half-calves blurred, full calves and shoes in focus, front shins blurred, etc….
Ummm isn’t anyone else a little concerned that this Grandmother wants photos of her legs and shoes to “save for” her grandchildren? What the???
Put the groceries in the trunk, Senator!
It’s not a real presidential campaign until people start claiming to be dead-ringer lookalikes for the candidates.
One of these two guys will spend the next few years appearing at birthday parties, used car lots, and so on. Indeed, an obscure chick named Tina somebody is already cashing in by playing Sarah Palin.
Mort, a handyman in Boise, is turning heads with his John McCain mannerisms. As the woman in this photo said, “I can’t believe how much Mort looks like McCain in that Navy hat! Hey, Mort, can you fix our front stoop tomorrow?”
Meanwhile, Ernie, who carries groceries at a Kroger supermarket in South Bend, is honing his Barack Obama routine and refers to the tips he lives on as “Change I can believe in.”
I guess event presidents in waiting need to go to the supermarket












Don’t mess with Levi. His bodyguard will get upset, have a heart attack, and fall on you.
