I would have guessed that they would have had at least one high school graduate proofreading these things.

I would have guessed wrong.

How close is the sidewalk?

2009-06-30T11:36:00.001-07:00

Yes, I know that the sidewalk is close. I can see it right there... under the sign.

Perhaps we should have used the other side... of the sign.

Mass produced ignorance

And this label looks mass produced. I hope it came with a warranty.

Sotp it right there

Sometimes, it is all in how you say it.

Underfunding education may be bad for democracy, but sometimes the results are funny.

Say what?

This is what happens when you underfund education. This fellow is ignorant and proud of it.

Not only did he not know how to spell "America", but no one else at the RNC did either. Either that or no one cared. I guess there are two kinds of people. Those who want to keep America strong and those who attend Republican conventions.

Or perhaps there is a country called "Ameirca". I think that Sarah Palin can see it from her window.

Does it look to you as if that woman on the left is having trouble keeping a straight face?

BTW: If anyone can show me a similar piece of ignorance from the DNC, just send it along.

Ignorant and proud of it

Does it sometimes seem to you that ignorant bigots are, well, a bit ignorant.

Don't you think that people who insist upon everyone speaking the same language ought to learn it first?

Just a thought.

Learning a second language is important, but not nearly as important as learning a first.

I think that this sign speaks for itself.

Underfunding education is not just an American pastime, it is fun too.

Nice looking waffles, golden brown, mouth-watering, dripping with artificialy simulated maple syrup substitute. It is nice to know before buying the iron exactly how the waffles will come out. What isn't obvious is that the waffle iron indentations are so slight that it really cannot be used to make waffles (the waffles cannot be thicker than about 10 pieces of paper. But just look at the waffles in the picture with 25 (5 x 5) indentations. Of course, the waffle iron produces 36 indentations (6 x 6).

Now, I don't know if that are real waffles in the background or just some picture that they got off the internet, but I do know that those waffles never came out of that waffle iron.

I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay. And when it's dry and ready.

Excuse me. I meant "trying ready".

That's what I love. Grammatical errors on wrapping paper used to wrap thousands of presents for young impressionable children.

I don't blame the person in China trying to English (and Yiddish) words on American wrapping paper, but you would think that someone would have checked the spelling before printing out 8.6 million rolls of the stuff.

So nobody at the Athletic Apparel noticed the misspelling . No one in the Nationals home office noticed the misspelling. Not one of the players noticed the misspelling. At least the Nationals can rest assured that it was caught it before it made the news.

And they say that baseball is our natinal pastime.

Washing Instructions

So, how hard can it be to wash a baby's bib? You just throw it into the washer and turn it on. Right?

If it were that easy, would I be blogging about it?

Lands' End is a good company with good products, but I haven't yet figured out how to wash this bib. Somehow, I think turning a bib inside out may involve some contortion of the space-time continuum. Anyone know where to get a green Energy Star rated Tardis-enabled washing machine?
