Rick Perry – born again Republican

On September 8, 2011May 17, 2014 By Rick McIn GOP USA, government, humourLeave a comment

I’m thinking Rick Perry could beat Obama in the next election, despite his looks … He looks like a made-for-TV-movie American President. Phoney.

Perry spent his first six years in politics as a Democrat, in a somewhat forgotten history that is sure to be revived and scrutinized by Republican opponents if he decides to run for president. …

Rick Perry: The Democrat Years

When I checked on that damning history on Wikipedia, I found that it was not included. Some Republican editing, I assume.

Next problem for Rick Perry – I’m not sure the Tea Party crowd is going to approve of his Corndog eating lifestyle.

Current:

Campaigning outside Pittsburgh today, GOP frontrunner Rick Perry attended a picnic at St Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Oil City where he enjoyed a foot long corndog while touring the fabulous reproduction of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.

There’s an old truism that politicians should never eat hotdogs. These photos will show you why.

Ricky Gervais – Extras

On September 6, 2011September 1, 2011 By Rick McIn humour, TV1 Comment

I’m not much of a Gervais fan, but when Kate played the first 3 episodes of this TV series, I found them HILARIOUS.

Extras is a British sitcom about extras working on TV and film sets and in theatre. The series was co-produced by the BBC and HBO, and is created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, both of whom also star in it. …

Each episode has at least one guest star; a television or film celebrity, who play what Gervais and Merchant have referred to as “twisted” versions of themselves; an exaggerated or inverted parody of their famous public personas. …

Kate Winslet
Ben Stiller
Ross Kemp/Vinnie Jones
Samuel L. Jackson
Les Dennis
Patrick Stewart

The guest star cameos are the best part.

cats that look like Hitler

Speeding by on a bike I saw a cat that looked EXACTLY like Hitler.

I doubled back with my camera, but he’d gone into a bunker or something.

On another trip, to Iceland, I found this Kitler:

Boston millionaires beat Vancouver millionaires!

WHY are these two so oblivious to the great tragedy?

… Lying in the street and seemingly locked in a kiss as chaos erupts around them, a young couple appear oblivious to the charging crowds and baton-wielding riot police.

The photograph, taken amid Vancouver’s hockey riots, has been tweeted around the world. But the photographer who took it is still not sure what the picture really shows.

Canada-based photojournalist Richard Lam took the photograph while covering the riots that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup. …

I’m constantly advising my friends to send the dog to ‘the farm‘. (… and sell their children)

But since Sony discontinued their robot dog AIBO in 2006, what’s the best replacement?

Here’s cute and cuddly. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I want to choke that baby seal already.

Perhaps a baby dinosaur. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
