The Charitable Season
by huckfunn ( 1 Comment › )Filed under Blogmocracy, Links, Open thread, Special Report at December 30th, 2011 - 4:10 pm
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan… Abraham Lincoln; Second Inaugural Address.
I found a great site that rates and reviews charitable foundations: Charity Navigator. I was disappointed to see that what had been my favorite charity, Wounded Warrior Project, is not ranked very high due to several reasons that you can read of at Charity Navigator. However, I did find a worthy replacement. The National Military Family Association. Any donation made between now and December 31st will be matched by Newman’s Own.

In the UK, Tallbloke, the blogger who broke the Climategate 2.0 emails on his blog Tallbloke’s Talkshop has had 2 laptops and a router seized by six detectives from the Metropolitan Police, the Norfolk Constabulary and the Computer Crime division.
He had an an inkling something was up the previous evening “when WordPress forwarded a notice from the U.S. Department of Justice.”
Watts Up With That has the notice and some excellent commentary. The most telling so far is from commenter Gail Combs:
You forget that one of the e-mails shows that the US Department of Energy “ordered” Jones to evade the FOIA requests.
The head of the Department of Energy at the time had just served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations prior to his appointment as Secretary of the Department of Energy.
This could be a very big CYA for the US government.
And someone has alerted Drudge. Let’s see if he picks it up.

Crispness is Clumping

Crispness is clumping, the geezer’s getting flat, and here are some gift ideas for friends and family. Everyone knows someone who needs a coffee mug, a sweatshirt or a totebag with at least one of these classic, trendy and timeless designs by that Bunky guy. (My favorite is the one at top right.)
Click on any image to take you to the Cafe Press Store section where there are more products and options to choose from. If you don’t see a product with the image you want, let us know. Sales profits (assuming we get any) go to charity. We don’t pocket it like The Magical Jazzy Ponytail does.
And speaking of Magical Jazzy Ponytails, let’s all gather around the firepist with some big ‘ol honkin’ mugs filled with crass commercialism and capitalism on
The Overnight Open Thread.
Pure Awesome.

It’s also purely coincidental that we found that image of a WereSlug last night and scheduled it to follow a story about LGF’s Killgore Trout.
The connection might not be obvious to those who don’t know/don’t care about LGF or KT, but for those who are curious, here’s a linky; more on Killgore’s nasty chicanery here. As for slugs, there’s an amazing video here.
But back to the WereSlug. Kid’s got this guy beat by a mile, and I hope he gets all he can eat from KT’s kale patch during The Overnight Open Thread.
Dork Hunt: Yankee Stadium 2008

Navy Seal Foundation Charity… Gun Raffle Tickets!
Great prize! Great cause!
Maybe I’m easily amused, but this reeks of coolness. It’s an interactive hi-def pan & zoom image of Yankee Stadium during the Yankees vs. Red Sox game of 4 July 2008. (Boston won 6-4 on a freak triple, but that’s beside the point.)
When I found the link, the first thing I thought of was “There has to be at least one obnoxious dork in the crowd.” The odds were definitely in my favor.
Game is underway, 1st Inning.
An obnoxious jerk can be found anywhere, and I guessed that the cheap seats would be a good bet.
This section looked promising. Completely arbitrary guess.
Getting closer! Stadium usher in the aisle is eyeballing someone…
Ooh! We have a candidate, and it’s not the waterbed in the back row or the wannabe in the front.
WHOOP! DEY HE IS!
Rock out dude! Everyone should be playing air guitar at a Yankees game! Or are you yelling at the umpire already, as if he can hear you from a quarter-mile away? DUDE, it’s only the first inning. Chill.
Although that game was played years ago, NY Dude has been preserved in HiDef for all to see. As always the bases are loaded (as are some commenters) here on The Overnight Open Thread.

A Cluttered Desk
by Bunk X ( 141 Comments › )Filed under Barack Obama, Links, OOT, Open thread, Satire at August 3rd, 2011 - 11:00 pm
Yep, that’s the Bunk X Central Command Post. Sure, it’s cluttered, but it’s organized clutter – at least that’s what I tell the missus. I rarely lose anything unless someone moves it more than a foot or so.
You can blame 1389AD for this post, because she emailed me the following images of cluttered desks, and to whom they belong. Take your best guess for each cluttered mess, then click on the images to see who owns them.
Just because MY desk is cluttered doesn’t mean I believe I’m in the same league as any of the others referenced above. I just wanted to take Dorian down a notch for fun, here on The Overnight Open Thread.
***COLDWARRIOR UPDATE:
here’s my mess in the only room i have left…

There’s an actual mosque in a Toronto public school cafeteria – and menstruating girls must sit in the back!

YouTube: Robson & Fatah on Toronto mosqueteria
(h/t: Blazing Cat Fur)

Yes, it’s true. Imams are conducting Muslim prayers every Friday in the cafeteria of the Valley Park Middle School in Toronto. And yes, female students must sit in the back, and females who are menstruating must sit even further back and are forbidden to participate in the prayers. (See SteynOnline: How Unclean Was My Valley.) As you can imagine, the mosqueteria controversy is still going on.
No, I most certainly do NOT agree with everything Tarek Fatah says in the above video – though he has a valid point in objecting to discrimination against women and girls. But Tarek Fatah is completely incorrect in claiming that discrimination against women and girls is non-Islamic. (See “Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid” and Winds of Jihad: Islam in Canuckistan: Menstruating Females Squat in the Back.)
Oh, and by the way, I keep asking whether halal food is being served in school cafeterias, and if so, who is paying for it. But I never seem to get an answer.

I am waaaaay too busy to do a proper blog post on each one of these issues at the moment. But there’s a superabundance of news and views that haven’t been covered here yet.

Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs‘ 1960 hit “Stay” is perhaps the greatest doowop song of all time, given the amount of compression. It’s also the shortest song to ever make the Number One slot on BillBoard’s Hot 100 Chart, clocking in at an impressive 99 seconds.
Although Duane Eddy had a US hit with “Some Kinda Earthquake” in 1959 (1:19), the next shortest song to make it to No. 1 in the U.S. was The Boxtops‘ 1967 hit “The Letter,” at 2 minutes.
I gotta stop rambling, except for one more thing. My current all time short favorite (1:28) is Liam Lynch‘s 2003 hit: “The Overnight Open Thread.”
