Happy 4th of July!
Hope you’re all having a great holiday weekend. Here’s a photo from today’s ingenious Stapleton 4th of July parade, in which the “floats” are the strollers and bicycles of the neighborhood’s abundant kiddo population: This evening, we’ll head to Becky’s cousin’s barbecue, and then hopefully catch some fireworks. Happy Birthday, America! P.S. No baby yet. 🙂 P.P.S. With apologies to… Read more »
Play her off, keyboard cat
Comments Off on Play her off, keyboard cat
At dinner with the fam last night, we toasted the memory of Sarah Palin’s political career. (“May it rest in peace,” Ted offered.) Well, here’s a video expressing essentially the same sentiment, via possibly the dumbest Internet meme ever invented — keyboard cat — in one of its rare, actually appropriate uses. “Play her off,” indeed. Enjoy: (Via Enlightened Despot.)
What is Sarah Palin thinking?
Get ready to hear the phrase “Sarah Palin didn’t even serve a full term as Alaska’s governor” over and over again, because it will among her opponents’ favorite refrains in the 2012 campaign, if she runs for president. She has just gift-wrapped, tied in a bow, and sent to Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, postage pre-paid, the perfect… Read more »
Joe Biden keeps his mouth shut!
Comments Off on Joe Biden keeps his mouth shut!
From the “Signs Of The Apocalypse” files: Joe Biden has arrived in Baghdad for a surprise visit to meet with Iraqi officials and U.S. troops. Yes, that’s right: Joe Biden managed to keep something secret. Ladies and gentlemen, the end is nigh. PANIC!!!
Tea Partiers’ anthem
With another set of “Tea Parties” coming up on Saturday, I figured this would be a good time to re-post the satirical anthem that I published as a Facebook Note back in April. It’s sort of like a sequel to Becky’s and my Election Eve version of “One Day More” from Les Misérables. This one, though, is set to “Do… Read more »
Vote early, vote often, vote for The Backer!
Comments Off on Vote early, vote often, vote for The Backer!
The Ultimate College Sports Bar Smackdown semifinals are still underway — polls close Friday night — and after falling way behind early, The Backer has rallied to a near-tie with Clemson’s The Esso Club. At last check, it’s Esso 2905, Backer 2826. Bottom line: Fellow Domers, THE BACKER NEEDS YOU!!! Vote for The Backer, or Al Franken and ACORN will… Read more »
Baby Pool update
Comments Off on Baby Pool update
The polls are closed for the second Loy Baby Pool, and we’ve got a total of 70 contestants. After the jump, a look at everyone’s predictions for when the baby will be born — and the range of birth dates & times in which each contestant would win.
Time to switch hosts?
Getting fed up with server problems. Thinking seriously about switching to BlueHost, which is recommended for WordPress blogs. WestHost has always treated me well — but a simple, brand-new WordPress blog with a small database footprint and a couple hundred hits per day should NOT be crashing a $20/month hosting account. Argh.
Server issues
Comments Off on Server issues
FYI – I’ve been having server issues due to apache overload, apparently caused by certain search-engine bots indexing changes too fast. (Decepticon saboteurs, perhaps?) I’m working on it. In the mean time, if you notice that the blog is down, that’s probably why. Please e-mail me at irishtrojan [at] gmail.com if you experience site problems. And of course, if any… Read more »
