An October Post

And so now, a rare post from Wiebe. 

I'm sorry folks, my work has taken over my brain for the past (and next) several weeks.  I don't see a lot of action happening on this blog for now.  I know, the election is getting really hot.  Questions like: Does Travis think the Democrats will hold the senate? (Answer: I'm actually beginning to doubt it) How large a majority does Travis think the GOP will have in the house? (Answer: at least 15 seats)  Does Travis still find Sarah Palin annoying and danegrous? (Yes)  Does Travis still believe that Faux news represent all that is wrong with the political system? (Yes)  Is South Park still hilarious? (Absolutely).

My rants, so common in the late spring and early summer are now a thing of the past.  I haven't been able to get myself to even do a lame 'twitter link' post.  Yep, the blog has hit a low point.  My budget season lasts through Christmas and I do foresee a return to using the blog. 

In the meantime, I can still do a quick and easy video post!  Enjoy a little clip from one of my heroes.

What does that mean?

This an attack.  Right?  Or maybe, it's something else.  Nice use of the peace sign...

Don't mess with Obama

Onion fun (link):

WASHINGTON—After serving 12 years in the position, Motley, the official White House Jester, was beheaded Tuesday after delivering a poorly received jape about the spiraling national debt before President and Mrs. Obama.

...

At this, Obama reportedly dropped the large turkey leg in his hand and signaled to nearby Secret Service agents, who seized Motley and dragged him, pleading, to the Executive Dungeon. The President exited the Hall in a fury, and within minutes had drafted an order of execution by beheading.

Greedy much?

Headline says it all: Nigerian spam email of the week.  Here's a teaser:

Dear Friend

I am the private solicitor for Mr Tony Hayward, the esteemed Chairman and Chief executive of British Petroleum.  My client has various personal and family related holdings of BP stock and options. Due to his faithful long standing service to BP the total value of his holdings amounts to in excess of 100m pounds sterling.  Mr Heywood is a British citizen but it has been my sorrowful duty to advise him that his personal and family wealth is at great risk of being wrongfully confiscated by US authorities acting extra-territorially under special powers authorised by the US government and with the secret consent of a supine UK political and legal establishment.
