Testing a new podcast player. What do YOU think?



Stitcher Radio is now providing the player above for their content providers. If anyone has an opinion about this one as opposed to our Buzzsprout embedded player, feel free to leave me a comment. Thanks!

Why you should always wait for Election Week to fill up the Hummer

From this here blog November 4, 2008:

Dear Oil Companies: Faaahk You.

According to the Energy Department's weekly survey of filling stations, the average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline dropped 25.6 cents nationally to $2.40 over the past week, the lowest since gasoline sold for $2.37 a gallon Nov. 6, 2006.

Notice anything about that 2006 date?

No one in the media or the industry better open their pieholes and tell me it's a coincidence that the lowest gas prices for two election years running is the week of the election. Don't tell me Exxon-Mobil doesn't have a rule about that. I won't believe you and I don't care to.

Panties image above from my post on the same damn subject from late September, 2006. Having a four year old blog means loving the archive feature.

-----------

Fast forward to today.  And guess what I see on my news stream?

Gasoline prices post biggest fall in nearly 4 years: survey

The average U.S. price for a gallon of regular gasoline took its biggest drop since 2008 in the past two weeks, due to lower crude oil prices, a big price drop in pump prices in California and Hurricane Sandy, according to a widely followed survey released on Sunday. 


Honestly, let's scrape up reasons why prices drop that have nothing to do with the election. Gas prices are always, always, at their lowest point of the year election week. Oil companies, price fixing, end of story.

Today is my EIGHT YEAR Blogiversary



To those of you who remember when I used to post uninhabited panties with every post, when I did audio blogs and video blogs by myself, when I lived in Alabama and went on hard times and my readers bought me a new laptop, the skype chats, salons, meet-ups, and above all, the laughs, THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

A Note on Neocons and "Anti-Semites"

Sweet Kosher Crackers Maureen Dowd and a certain blogger I sleep with have both been dragged through a "you're being an anti-Semite" stew just because they noticed that Romney has surrounded himself with Neocons from the George W. Bush administration.

 Listen up, Republican Party people, it's not our fault that so many of those same Neocons who worked for Bush and want back in the White House under Romney (and really, what the hell?) are Jews of a certain generation and political stripe. (OOH! She said stripe! That's obviously a holocaust prison camp uniform reference! She's an anti-Semite!)

Paul Wolfowicz's World Bank Scandal happened after he and his not-to-be-named ethnicity Neocon Club got us into a war that made him, the Vice President (Jewish? I don't think so), and many others rich. They did it for money and to please their own brand of theocracy. (Anti-Semite reference to Jews and money, oh my G-d!!!)

This Brandeis graduate (Affirmative Action, bitchez!) has faced greater sieges from stupid self-serving bullies who-just-so-happened-to-be-Jews than you could ever know. And if anyone attempts to deflect criticism of the worst foreign policy in the history of America --by calling any critic of that policy and the ASSHOLES who put it into practice-- an anti-Semite, a holocaust denier, a Nazi, an enemy of peace (yeah THAT one), in any way, I gotta big bag of kosher candy hearts for ya right here:



The first box is for you, John Bolton. And may God have mercy on your soul.

No, really @Wonkette, you suck at photoshop.

I was sick earlier today and unable to beat DG to the wailing wall of photoshop fail that is Wonkette's Liz Cheney as Dick Cheney or whatever:

from Wonkette, and really, WTF, duuudes.
Had I been well and able to sit up in bed, it would have been an in-house, intra-marriage Photoshop race. I would have won.




Or, maybe no fair because I didn't use the same original photos:
