John Lawler: News/Journal
State of the Union - January 27, 2010
If Obama snaps his head left and right between the teleprompters tonight instead of looking into the camera (i.e. US), then that should tell you something. Since I just saw a video of him talking to a bunch of six year olds in a small classroom using teleprompters (as if the kids were there to see him) my guess is he'll do his usual routine.

This is how my attorney friend JP refers to Obama's stimulus bill.
I thought it had a nice ring to it.
George W: Miracle Worker - January 16, 2009
Months after George W. Bush took office, we witnessed the single most tragic and evil plane disaster this country has ever known.
The day Bush gave his farewell speech eight years later, we witnessed the most miraculous plane event this country has ever known.
Isn't that something?

The Kremona Orpheus - September 10, 2008
I just bought a new guitar. It's a Bulgarian Kremona Orpheus, Sofia model. All my other guitars are saying, "Who's the new Hot! German chick?"
My Leo Kottke twelve string is saying, "I'm a Leo Kottke Model!"
Sofia says, "Never heard of him."
My Joe Pass hollow body is saying, "I'm a Joe Pass Model jazz guitar."
Sofia says, "Never heard of him."
My Martin J40 six string is retarded. Mainly because of the multiple frontal lobotomies I've performed on him over the years. He just walks up to Sofia and says, "I like popcorn!"

Not Cool - August 12, 2008
Here are some indicators that you are no longer cool.
You tell a really funny joke and everyone in the room says, "Why is that old man talking to himself?"
AA puts you on their, 'Do Not Admit', list.
You go to a 3D movie by yourself because you, "want to see how the technology has changed".
Your last facelift makes you look like you're possessed by a demon.
All you want to talk about are Richard Dryfuss movies.
All of your knowledge comes from infomercials.
Really pretty girls only look at you if you've been run over by a car. Then they say, "Someone should call 911!"

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann - May 30, 2008
Keith Olbermann reminds me of the guys I used to beat up in highschool before I became a born again Christian.
Save the Polar Bears - May 16, 2008
It’s May 16th in Chicago and the temperature is a balmy 40 degrees. Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t one of the basic tenets of the global warming religion involve something about actual warming? We should just transplant the polar bears to Lake Michigan. We can fit them all with radar collar bombs that will explode their heads if they come within 100 yards of a human being.
We can have a $300 fine for teenagers who intentionally take part in polar bear baiting just to see their heads explode. The kids will refer to this practice as, 'Polar Popping'.
