Weekend odds & ends...

It's a three-day weekend so you're getting your nightly edition of The Bliss Index© between sips of our favorite adult beverage...and a tad later/earlier than usual. We present this collection of tidbits gathered from all over...

Enjoy!

About that promise of transparency? Yah, not so much.


Well, he's pretty transparent...

“Come with me if you want to…be taxed more.”


The Taxinator....

It’s a miracle! The NY Times’ Maureen Dowd manages to get through an entire column without mentioning a Hollywood movie/celebrity/scandal/plot device/line.

Teddy…they hardly remember ye.


"Explain how this is going to work..."

This might just be the definition of “amateur hour.”

She’s gone from an object of pity to one of disdain.

Looks like the loser might end up being a loser.

Add Massachusetts and the U.S. Senate: Feel free to ignore the wishes of voters.

During this year’s Super Bowl, Chrysler will present a 60-second television ad. (30-second spots are going for approximately $3 million each.) Can you guess who paid for it? If you guessed you and me, you move to the front of the line.

Enjoy your ad!

A hero for our time: “Dr. Sanjay Gupta has more courage and dedication than the United Nations, who abandoned patients out of fear.” (h/t: fark.com)

Gupta does the right thing...

Charter member, Idiots Hall of Shame: Pat Robertson. He gets a letter from you-know-who.

Pat Robertson: idiot, evil...or a lot of both?

Idiots for as far as the eye can see!

There's just something about Fridays that brings out the idiots.

Maybe it's all the idiots running for the exits at the same time...piling onto elevators, clogging freeways, turning bars into Land of the Idiots.

Who cares? Let's just roll out this Friday's offerings...

Did you hear the one about the shoe-in running for the U.S.Senate (as a Democrat) in a blue-blue-blue state that hasn't had a GOP since the mid-'50s...in a state that has Dems out-numbering Republicans by more than 3 to 1...campaigning for Teddy Kennedy's seat...and that Obamacare could very well hinge on her winning it? No? Well, in short she's running herself into the ground. A seat that is often viewed as "owned" by Dems has now gone over to the GOP candidate (State Sen. Scott Brown) in pre-election polls with just a few days in the run-up remaining. Even her own party is calling her an idiot.


Martha Coakley: Massachusetts State Attorney General…U.S. Senate hopeful…full-blown idiot. (Reason for being an idiot No. 356 - this was a photo published by her own campaign.)

Idiotically behind the curve - finally.

Those MSNBC gals smarter than “idiot” Palin? Yah, sure, you betcha!

Idiots abound!

Did I mention idiots? Yes, they’re everywhere.

Is idiocy transmitted from person to person?

You’d have to be an idiot to believe the promise that he wouldn’t tax you. Was he crossing his fingers ? (Labor unions – you’re smarter than we thought.)

Lethal Idiot 1.

Sir…thank you for setting that idiot straight.


Fur-free? Yes. Fabulous? That’s in the eye of the beholder. Idiot/hypocrite? Absolutely.

Only an idiot blames his tools.

Can you believe this idiot?

Radio bonus: I'll be on John Batchelor's radio show beginning at 6 p.m. (Pacific Time) tomorrow night - Saturday, Jan. 16 - to discuss a number of recent events, including the Google-China dust-up and the state of the State of California. You can listen to the show at WABC-AM 77 NY, WMAL-AM 630 Washington, D.C., WTTK-FM 96.9 Boston, and on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio. If you’re not in one of the listening areas, you can tune-in via any of those stations’ websites. (Guaranteed "idiot-free" radio!)
