Well, at Least She didn’t Claim to be Native American

September 14, 2012

Another Massachusetts politician does what needs to be done to defeat her rival by sticking to the issues and calmly pointing out…  Nope.  Can’t keep a straight face.

Denise Andrews, a Democrat representing the the 2nd Franklin district, went to the police accusing her Republican opponent of buying cocaine.

Andrews claims she was acting on behalf on a concerned constituent who had called her with worries that GOP candidate Susannah Whipps Lee was buying drugs.

To be fair, Andrews does insist that she was just being a good citizen.

The 53-year-old has posted a statement about the cocaine allegations incident on her Facebook page denying that her actions were politically motivated or intended to slander her opponent.

Of course they weren’t.

Apparently, I’m Doing it Wrong

August 27, 2012

I was going to update my Neil Armstrong post, but I felt it was more important to confess my sins and come clean afresh.  Apparently, my homage to the great explorer and pioneer was insufficiently grand, as I included a stock NASA photo of the man.  Turns out, the proper homage would have been to include a stock photo of myself.

I do hereby humbly apologize for the grievous sin of not making it all about me.

A most humble hat tip to Stoaty

I think they’ve started writing the romance novel in the comments section.  Cover’s already made, though.

Sometimes, Grasshopper, you are Simply Out-Written

August 3, 2012

I had some ideas for a blog post or two today, but I think I’ll go sit at the feet of two verbal judo sensei and just link to the masters here and here.

Sometimes, you must listen and learn.  Now, excuse me while I meditate upon everything about nothing.
