What a great weekend – I actually got to play football on the beach …. IN JANUARY!
1. On a registered Republican in Reading who won't be able to vote in the next election unless he appears at a Berks County Elections Board to explain the signature on his registration form - he signed it "God:"
“Another sign that the religious far-right has lost control.”
2. On a baby girl who was found inside a plastic bag floating on a lake in Brazil after passers-by heard her crying:
“The responsible party should experience the same as this baby.”
3. On Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, who has promised Italians he would lower taxes and raise pensions, but his latest campaign pledge is rather personal: no sex until April 9 elections:
“However, he gave no indication on whether he would put a stop on policies that ‘screw’ the public.”
4. On nearly 11,000 school children who brushed their teeth at a seaside Manila park (in the Phillipines) Sunday in an attempt to break a world record for a simultaneous brush-off and to try and reverse the prevalence of tooth decay among Filipinos:
“The toothbrushes were later put back in storage, safe and sound for next year.”
5. On a town called Washington, PA that changed its name to Steeler PA, so nobody would be confused on which team they were rooting for in the Super Bowl:
“Good to see that nobody is doing any irrational things prior to the Super Bowl.”
6. On Yale altering its tradition by supplying soap for dormitory bathrooms:
“However, they refused to get rid of the outhouses.”
7. On twin Zimbabwean brothers, who dressed in goatskin loincloths to promote traditional African values, and were charged with indecent exposure and jailed:
“Traditionalism and individuality will not be tolerated!”
8. On a parole officer in Michigan who was originally fired because he surfed the internet for porn at work, but was reinstated, due to an arbitrator’s ruling that said a first offense should be a light punishment and not termination of job (He also got a raise):
“I wonder what one needs to do in order to get promoted?”

And I got to watch Blazing Saddles!
"Badges? We don't need no steenking badges!"
1. Kick his ass OUT of any government seat. We do NOT need some stinking religious nut dictating to us how to live.
2. This has go to be one of the most horrible things I have ever heard. I hope the offending party is drawn and quartered.
3. Why would anyone care whether he has sex before the elections or not? What does that have to do with running a good gov't???
4. Little do they know, they were brushing with Crest's new "Sugar Paste!"
5. Can we nuke them??? Pleeeeease?
6. They used to not supply soap??? Ew.
7. Hmmmmm, maybe I should embrace my Nordic/Viking heritage??? Burning and plundering villages, drinking lots of mead, and sailing the open seas in longboat.... ahhhh, dreams.
8. It's only porn for crying out loud... this country has got to get past it's stupid puritan idealisms. Sex is a natural thing, deal with it. Granted porn is not a work-friendly thing to do, but it shouldn't deserve dismissal, maybe just severe humiliation. Now if this guy was surfing for snuff films, child porn, or info on how to make bombs.... yeah, can his ass.
