Patty Melt

This is a great sandwich. What could be better than a thick slab of ground beef smothered in fried onions, covered with cheese, and served between two hunks of sourdough bread?I'll tell you what could be better...the name. "Patty Melt"... why don't we just call it "Sissy Sammie?"
Let me ask the guys a question. You're on a date with a great babe (Yes, Virginia, I said "babe") and decide to go for a snack before you take her home and try to figure out how to get her into the sack. You want to order a freaking Patty Melt, but dare you? Hell, no, you buffoon! The second she hears you say "patty melt" you might just as well drag your sorry ass to a monastery, because you will never get to "know" her in the biblical sense.
We, as a society, need to give this culinary delight a new name. Perhaps we could call it "The Duke", or "Fried Steer on PETA Bread", anything but "patty melt."

It is absolutely outrageous to charge people for evacuation costs out of Lebanon for a government that has:- Failed to require Israel to refrain from attacking northern parts of Lebanon- Wasted billions in an unnecessary Iraq war- Given away billions to millionaires through tax cuts

One Place to Never Say 'Thank You, Jesus'

Go ahead and thank the good Lord, but if you're in a courtroom, you might want to do it silently. Junior Stowers of Honolulu, Hawaii, learned that lesson the hard way when he raised his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" when he learned a jury had found him not guilty of abusing his 15-year-old son, specifically hitting him with a broomstick last January. But after that outburst, Circuit Judge Patrick Border held him contempt of court and threw him in jail, reports The Associated Press.

Hating Jews

"There are short-term reasons behind the attacks on Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas. But underlying all the geo-strategy is a solid foundation of fanatical Jew-hatred, dating back to the founding of Islam. There is literally nothing Israel or Jews can do to appease those who seek to annihilate them."

Not so Super

"This new Superman may not be strictly American, but he's still unmistakably Western and terribly, terribly modern as he... sires a son... Before leaving Earth for five years in a mysterious exit unexplained to anyone, Superman and gal pal Lois Lane hooked up, as they say. Apparently Superman, like his dorky doppelganger, Clark Kent, is clueless when it comes to men and women, and failed to block certain speeding bullets from reaching their natural destination. Voila. When he returns to save the world, he finds that Lois has a 5-year-old son, Jason, and is living with—but is not married to—'the father,' Richard White. Perky Jimmy Olsen explains that, well, you know Lois! She just can't bring herself to consider marriage. All that yucky commitment and stuff. But having a kid out of wedlock is the superwoman way in Metropolis, as most places these days. Who needs a man?... In the absence of a satisfactory moral to the story, we are left to improvise. For my ration of popcorn, one thought emerges with clarity: When it comes to fathers, it's better to have an ordinary man on the ground than have to rely on a flighty narcissist who woos girls on rooftops, and then vanishes in search of self." —Kathleen Parker

Anti-Israel Puke

As we watch this war unfold in front of our eyes thousands of miles away, the only price we pay is at the pump. But those of us who pay taxes, we pay another price. And Israeli weapons aren't cheap. When an Israeli missile blows up a few homes, burns some kids alive...those are our missiles. Our bombs. We continue to support terrorism. Do you want to know what our bombs just did in a little town called Marwaheen?

Malignant Speech

Mike Adams on gay tolerance:

When I began the process of looking for a plaintiff to sue the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), I had hoped to see the day that a federal court would throw out the university’s unconstitutional speech code. The code went so far as to prohibit any speech that would "malign" another individual -- whatever that means.

The Feminization of America

This is from today's Patriot Post:

"Even after another World Cup, Americans are still not exactly enamored of soccer, but we were amazed recently to find the sport on the "banned" list at many elementary schools around the nation. Why? It's too dangerous! And soccer isn't alone in this nanny blitz against contact sports—dodge ball has been on the hit list for years, while touch football and even tag have now been banned at some schools. Freedom Elementary School in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for example, outlawed tag at recess because it "progresses easily into slapping and hitting and pushing instead of just touching," asserted Principal Cindy Farwell. The horror."

Can't Make This Up

ALMATY (Reuters) - A chicken in a Kazakh village has laid an egg with the word “Allah” inscribed on its shell, state media reported Thursday.
“Our mosque confirmed that it says ‘Allah’ in Arabic,” Bites Amantayeva, a farmer from the village of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan, told state news agency Kazinform. “We’ll keep this egg and we don’t think it’ll go bad.”
The news agency said the egg was laid just after a powerful hail storm hit the village.

Killing Us Softly

"The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly." —Theodore Roosevelt

Need to Know

Here’s a “war story” for you. When I served in the US Army I had a rather high security clearance. We had access to somewhat euphemistically named “special weapons.” These were tactical nuclear weapons, folks. We were members of N.S.P. or the Nuclear Surety Program. If the call came down from higher authority, i.e. The Commander in Chief, we would assemble the weapon and fire it downrange.
Now, we had the clearance to know where these weapons were stored, how to utilize them, and how to render them safe if necessary. Big deal, right? We had sufficient clearance, but did we know where the unit would be the following day, where the battalion was headed, when the division would move on the enemy? The answer is no, we did not. Why? Although we were cleared for these things, we lacked an important component for having this knowledge. This is the need to know.
Just as our need to know was not essential to the successful completion of the mission, so it is with news organizations who claim that it the American public has the “right” to know all about secret programs designed to keep us safe from Islamic terrorism.
I don’t want to think that the main stream news media would like to see us and our society destroyed by Islamic murderers, but I wonder just the same.

Redeployment?

"You gotta hand it to these guys: 'Redeployment' is ingenious. I'll bet the focus-group consultants were delirious: 'surrender,' 'lose,' 'scram,' 'scuttle ignominiously,' 'head for the hills' all polled poorly, but 'redeploy' surveyed well with all parts of the base, except the base in Okinawa, where they preferred 'sayonara' —that's 'redeploy' in any language. The Defeaticrats have a clear message for the American people. Read da ploy: No new quagmires. This is the most artful example of Leftspeak since they came up with 'undocumented immigrant.' In fact, if it catches on, I'll bet millions of fine upstanding members of the Undocumented-American community now start referring to themselves as Redeployed Mexicans." —Mark Steyn

A French Joke

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured an English major. Taking the major to their headquarters, the French general began to question him.
The French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"
In his quiet English way, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic.
And that is why from that day to now all French Army officers wear brown pants.

Phillies June Swoon

Philadelphia Phillies fans are used to their team collapsing late in the second half the season. This year would be different according to manager Charlie Manuel.

"We're going to show our fans that we really care about them," said Manuel. "Instead of waiting for September to tank, we're gonna do it before the All-Star break. We owe it to 'em."

First baseman Ryan Howard, last year's Rookie of the Year added, "This team really knows how to lose. We do it with class and we do it with style. When we hear 'Boo' from the stands, you know we don't have a ghost of a chance to win."
