Where do I sign up? I want to be a member of "The BEST Party."



Inspired political video.

The Saturday Profile - Icelander’s Campaign Is a Joke, Until He’s Elected - Biography - NYTimes.com: "Last month, in the depressed aftermath of the country’s financial collapse, the Best Party emerged as the biggest winner in Reykjavik’s elections, with 34.7 percent of the vote, and Mr. Gnarr — who also promised a classroom of kindergartners he would build a Disneyland at the airport — is now the fourth mayor in four years of a city that is home to more than a third of the island’s 320,000 people."

Do watch the video to the end and read the full article.

Earth Day -- a good day to cheer for the mighty blue Penguins

Original highlight video, just uploaded to YouTube.



Who is going to be doing the victory breakdance tonight?

The above video from our visit to Christchurch, New Zealand. An Artic Center is there, very near the airport. It is part zoo, science lab, museum and learning center. This center is the 'jump off point' for almost all who go to and come from Antartica.

Biz leader of Brazil want Government there to monitor spending for Rio 2016, a future Olympic Host

Here in the USA, we'd be most happy if the Biz leaders would monitor the government, not the other way around. We know that the gov people can spend more than they have.

BRASILIA, Brazil -- A top business leader in Brazil is urging the government to make sure building projects for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics are completed on time.

Woops. I had it wrong. The biz leaders don't care about the amount of the spending, they care that the luxery boxes are built on time. They must be members of the Allegheny Conference.

When asked how much the World Cup and Olympics are going to cost them, the clever business leader said, "A Brazilion Dollars."

Kissing a toad leads to this madness

Once upon a time, ...
Police: Man tried to revive dead possum; alcohol involved Police: Man tried to revive dead possum; alcohol involved
Friday, March 26, 2010
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Police said a man will be charged with public drunkenness after several witnesses saw him attempting to resuscitate a road-killed opossum.
State police said they charged Donald Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, Jefferson County, after they arrived at the scene on Route 36 in Oliver Township around 3 p.m. Thursday.
A news release from police does not state how he was trying to revive the opossum.
Thankfully, the porcupine got to the other side of the road.

Sick humor

2 Brazilian?

The Secretary of Defense briefed the president this morning. They told President Obama that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's surprise, all the color drained from Obama's face. Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.

Finally, he composed himself and asked, 'Just how many is a brazilian?'

This is not surprising, since he obviously has no understanding of a trillion either.

Meanwhile, in other news with Brazilian dollars, on double TIFed land,
Hazelwood center part of Sunoco's sale to Brazilian firm: "Hazelwood center part of Sunoco's sale to Brazilian firm".

Zombie Technology for Trick or Treaters



I still think that the new school mascot for Pittsburgh Public School 6-12 Science and Technology should be the Zombies.

Debate meltdown

I'm a big fan of having 'running mates.' Running mates help in many ways.

For instance, running mates can help you get to the finish line in a marathon. Hope all in a cool down stay healthy leading into the Pittsburgh Marathon. Taper time.

Running mates can also help as attack dogs so as to raise issues that are best said by those who are not the top-of-the-ticket candidate. Both Patrick Dowd and Luke Ravenstahl need running mates when jabbing about the lack of debates and the sorry efforts of rescheduled opportunities -- or not.

Humor clip from Hulu, the #2 video site on the web, behind only YouTube, shows Saturday Night Live and President Obama's return to the White House after his trip to Europe and elsewhere.

Steelers Nation: Are you ready for some baseball?

Baseball season is just around the corner. The cold weather is about to break.



Plus, Baseball star Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003. But this is news in 2009. Meanwhile, Congress looked into this in 2006. Go figure.

The other 14 are making the rounds in email chain letter.
Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then, yell, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here!'
