NO MORE HOSTESS TWINKIES???

Say it isn't so!

But according to this, it is so.  Or might be soon.  In these cases I simply don't understand the union mentality.  They'd shut down the whole business rather than help the company weather a bad time?

Somehow I don't think this couple will celebrate their 50th anniversary.  And isn't it just so typical of your average right-wing homophobic racist pro-baby anti-woman gun-loving capitalistic loon? 

ATTENTION GRAMMAR NAZIS

And I are one

I found this site thanks to Valerie and am happily working my way through 69 grammar tests.  I've done pretty well on most of them, but I messed up on premier/premiere, aggravated/irritated/ reluctant/reticent, and rebuts/refutes.  I was perfect on the ones that involved the proper use of the apostrophe.  Its' clear Im among the people who can navigate they're way through the minefield's of apostrophes'. The rule is clear:  any word that ends in S needs an apostrophe SOMEWHERE.

"WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US"

Pogo

Those of you of a certain political persuasion will agree with this.  Others of you will not.  It was written by a Brit who knows us well.

Yeah, I know I posted cartoons just a couple of days ago, but this one made me laugh out loud.

And while we're on a cat theme ...

Could you pass a citizenship test?  Find out here.  Some of the questions are ridiculously easy for the native-born, but I can see how they might stump the foreign-born.  And with the state of American public education, maybe they're all hard for the younger set.  Many of the questions involve history that I lived through.  It's good to be old ...

I missed four of them.  Let me know how you do.

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, DAVID

JUST FOR FUN

And because I can't think of anything else

Thanks to Jack B. for this

“In the end, more than freedom, [Athens] wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.”

― Historian Edward Gibbon
