If My Dad Had Named Me Jennifer . . .

I might drink a lot, too:

A western Michigan school bus driver faces drunken driving charges after authorities say he had five beers at a bar, then left to pick up a load of honor students on a field trip.

Coloma Community Schools driver Jennifer Moore was arrested Friday and arraigned Monday in Portage.

In court, the judge asked the 47-year-old Coloma resident if she was an alcoholic.

"I never thought I was sir," said Moore. "I wonder now."

For jefferson101

Jefferson101 - don't say we don't care about your blogging pleasure.

I’m glad to see ol’ Spewey back. He’s one of my Internet running buddies. All is now well.

Other than the lack of Keg Beer, of course, but virtual keg beer makes my modem burp anyway, so it’s probably for the best. If it belches into the LAN, it can be a real beast to deal with.

Tap one on her us.

This and That (again)

The only thing good about this development is that the last time it was tried, we were given Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly.

Losing to the Cardinals yesterday, the Denver Broncos proved that Josh McDaniels' downfall had nothing to do with coaching and everything to do with personnel decisions.  The only good thing he did on that front, IMO, was get rid of the whiny baby named Cutler.  But even that came about because of some rather duplicitous dealings by McDaniels.  The difference between Denver, Dallas, and Minnesota (all teams that started horribly and fired their coaches midseason) was talent.  That's why Dallas and Minnesota have gone on to win some games and Denver gets crushed by the bottom of the NFC West.  McDaniels may turn into a helluva coach someday in the NFL, but he's not much of a talent evaluator at this point.

I see the first nail has been punched into the coffin of Obamacare.  I also see from the article that Obama is pressing the tired connection to the auto-insurance mandate enforced by most, if not all, states.  You'd think someone with his brilliance could come up with better analogy.

And Miranda Lambert is going to be serving deer meat at her wedding to Blake Shelton.  To quote Blake, "#screwPETA"!

Funner Numbers: Twelve Days of Presents

Not all number-crunching is necessarily about us being DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

I count up how many presents my true love sent to me....

Meep

Meep is a member of the Irish Catholic mafia, having a suspiciously high number of green-eyed, red-haired friends. While she doesn’t have red hair herself [except when she goes into the sun (rare for any vampire)], she does have green eyes. She’s a raving Papist and is a life actuary on the side [i.e., she counts dead people]. An amateur pain-in-the-ass [willing to go pro!], she likes covering retirement, mortality, math, and education issues.

Facebook Troll ‘Splodes Self in Stockholm Because of Cartoon

Stacy, everyone else are on top of the story of Taimour Abdulblahblahblah, who blowed hisself up to protest a picture some guy drew, slightly injuring two others in the process.

I say draw more pictures.

Apparently, he lived in the UK, for what it's worth. The article mentions a Yemeni named Shmukh al-Islam, which is a name I might bother to remember.

I'm having a hard time finding an interesting angle on this, so you can scoot over to Pamela Geller's and catch a bit of the eulogizing that asshats have been performing at the dude's Facebook memorial page. It's kind of like finding out that Gawker's user database has been hacked; I don't care.

Much more interesting are the tiny letters and numbers painted into the Mona Lisa. My guess is that they will be found to counsel, "Drink more Ovaltine."
