Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Weekend open thread and Friday night funny
Does your car’s broken AC cost too much to fix? It was for one civil engineering grad, who took matters into his own hands:
Faced with exorbitant costs to fix a car air conditioner, Scott Dawson was literally left to his own devices.
After finding out he would have to pay $1,200 to fix his car’s AC, Dawson, 26, rigged a common household air conditioner to fit on top of his car. The crafty civil engineering graduate from the University of Houston cut a hole in the sunroof to allow the cool air to get in, MyFoxHouston reported.
See the video report, and photos of the car, here. Here’s a sneak peek:
Heh. Where there’s a will, there’s a way

If you……..you might be a redneck.
Innovative! Necessity, and college aged poverty, are the mother of invention.
Civil engineer, reminds me of an old joke, electrical engineers build missiles, civil engineers build targets.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way”
Or an inheritance. One of my sailing buddies set up one o’ those dealies for the for’ard hatch when he’s in a slip with shore power…
And the saga continues:
New York Times hits all time low
Absolutely brilliant.
You know the situation in Iraq is looking better when these cowards are willing to go back in:
UN steps toward greater role on Iraq
Now we need to make sure these meddling twits don’t make it their business to involve AQ and Iran in some sort of negotiated “peace”, or worse, some time of new “coalition” government for Iraq.
Fake but accurate!
I’m a bit surprised there wasn’t a shot with a blond talking head in a canoe (remember the flooding in NY? a while back when some guy walked into the shot showing the devastating flooding conditions in ankle deep water and by the overwhelmed actor, I mean reporter) or a continued effort to demonstrate the flooding due to the GW, on the bottom of the sea.
Hey, ST, did you catch the article over at Slate? You got a good mention for your blog name: http://www.slate.com/id/2171870/pagenum/2/
In this interview from April 15th, 1994, Dick Cheney reveals the reasons why invading Baghdad and toppling Saddam Hussein wouldn’t be a great idea.
I know this isn’t new information to most of you, but I still find this video very stunning. Today all the negative consequences Cheney spoke about in 1994 have materialized. He was so sure then, as he is now. Unbelievable.
I had to get my air compressor fixed in a 2000 Saturn and one place gave me a $2500 quote but I took it to another place down the street from them and they did it for $984-guess the first place thought I was a big dummy but if I could have rigged an air conditioner on top I woulda done it.
Fred’s name sounds stupid.
“It has the tonal quality of something being dropped on the floor, something heavy and damp-ish.
Waterlogged paper towel.”
Well, at least that is the way Monica Hesse talks about in an article for the Washington Post.
Serious…is this what the Washington Post considers news?

This has to be the most inane and idiotic article I have ever read.
It is like something a group of teenage girls gossiping in the locker room would talk about, giggling in the corner.
This is what passes as Journalism for the WashingtonPost?
Pathetic.
Sanity asks,
This is what passes as Journalism for the WashingtonPost?
Well, yeah, of course. They’ve already used up their weekly quota of gossipy stories about Jeri Thompson, so they have to find something else about Fred to mock. You didn’t expect the WaPo to talk about issues here, did you?

Did you all see this??

Apparently some moron in the White House Press Corps screamed at the President about losing Congress. My 1st thought is, Did this moron yell the same thing at Clinton??? Answer, probably not. Then my 2nd thought is, the Republicans in Congress lost the Congress and there is no other explaination. If those idiots would have tried even the smallest amount of discipline, instead of acting like “We can Buy Votes” Democrats, we would still have the majority. You just have to wonder at the very lack of thinking that comes out of these “unbiased” reporters. – Lorica
