Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Liam was walking in the woods one day when he happened upon a napping Leprechaun, snuck up on him, and caught him.

Liam said, “Ah, I’ve got ye! Now ye’ve got to give me tree wishes!”

The Leprechaun said, “Aye, Liam. That ye have. But I must tell ye that whatever ye wish for, I will give Tom Flannery, who I know is yer worst enemy, double what you get.”

Liam thought about this a for a few minutes and said, “Okay Leprechaun, I’ve my tree wishes ready.
“For me first wish, I wish for a lovely ten room house.”

{poof!} there was a lovely ten room house. And {poof!} right next door, a lovely twenty room house with Tom on the front porch.

Tom said, “Ah Liam, me pal. I didn’t know you loved me so well!”

The leprechaun asked Liam what his second wish would be.

Liam said, “For me second wish, I wish for one of the most beautiful women in the world.”

{poof!} One of the most beautiful women in the world shows up next to Liam. {poof!poof!} Two of the most beautiful women in the world show up next to Tom.

Tom said, “Liam, whatever did I do to earn such wonderful gifts from you?”

The leprechaun said, “Well?”

Liam said, “For me third and final wish, I wish me desire for women cut by half.”

Somebody Stole Betsy's Page!

**Updates below**

Blogger’s been having some problems and somebody named Sam has stolen Betsy’s URL. There is a page there called Betsy Page with one post that doesn’t say anything and two comments, one spam and one from Betsy herself.

There were two posts earlier, but one is now gone.

Blogger people – Bring back Betsy’s real page!

Update:
Michelle’s posted on it too.

Update:
Thanks for linking Lorie!

Update:
A very kind person named Duane has saved a google cache of Betsy’s page at http://helpingbetsy.blogspot.com/. At least she’ll have her old posts available…

Update:
More comments over at “Betsy Page” – Betsy you have a lot of people who are on your side!

Update:
Glenn’s posted an email from Betsy…

King Mike

Ed Driscoll points us to a parody commercial starring [tag]Michael Bloomberg[/tag].

There was another shown on The [tag]Daily Show[/tag] that [tag]Brit Hume[/tag] replayed at the end of the show yesterday or the day before. Go to the Daily Show and choose “Couldn’t [tag]Hackett[/tag]” (the “campaign ad” is at the end (3:43)). One quote: “I believe we should take care of our environment. That’s why I’m standing in front of a river.”

Thanks Mr. Right

Mr. Right, over at The Right Place has a great list of blogs in his Frequent Flyers Club (and we thank him for his inclusion of us).

He’s got a copy of that Debbie Stabenow with the poster picture. Go see it.

The Right Place has a lot of funny stuff.

Betsy's Page Temporarily (hopefully) Down

Betsy says to tell you that her site is down due to Evil Blogger and she hopes that they will fix their problem and she’ll be back soon.

She has a few research papers to grade tonight as well, so blogging would be light anyway.

Hopefully she’ll be back soon.

Sirhan Sirhan Up For Parole Again

and the AP says it’s a “potential conflict for Gov. [tag]Arnold Schwarzenegger[/tag], who is married to RFK’s niece.”

It takes them until the fourth paragraph to say that it is highly unlikely that Gov. Schwarzenegger will need to be involved at all.

Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney David Dahle, who will argue the state’s case before the parole board, said there is little chance the decision would fall to the Republican governor. He conceded there is at least the appearance of a conflict.

“Obviously there’s an issue. He’s married to the [tag]Kennedy[/tag] family,” he said. “But he is not a member of the immediate family.”

Mr. Dahle, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not married to the Kennedy family. He has married a woman who is part of the Kennedy family. If he’d married the Kennedy family he’d be polygamous…

The fact that he married someone in the Kennedy family should have absolutely nothing to do with [tag]Sirhan Sirhan[/tag]’s parole.
