Finally, an overnight thread devoted to sweet, scrumptious helpings of schadenfreude as we trudge wearily around town looking for the last of the ammo.

Have fun with it, Messiah, even you may not be able to resurrect these rules from the dead.

Cry us a river, leftists, your Hamas loving Jimmah The Baptist started it.

George Bush isn't the first president to push through rules before the next guy can get in. Jimmy Carter gets that award.

Hope and change:

If the rules are published in the Federal Register by Friday, Nov. 21, they'll be very hard for President-elect Obama to reverse when he gets into office.

Look at the bright side, Barry, at least the Bush staffers will leave the "O" on the keyboards of the computers.

With the official European stamp of approval, Obama and Hillary can both pretty much tell all the media and moonbat naysayers to kiss their asses.

...European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana gave his backing to Clinton at the State Department, telling reporters in Washington she would be well received in Europe.

"I think it would be very well taken if that is the case," Solana said when asked how he thought European diplomats would react if Obama chose the former first lady...

I've always wanted to do one of those jokes. They never really get old, do they? Anyway, this terrorist dirtbag went by a number of different nom de thugs, among them Hajji Hammadi, Hammadi Awdah Abd Farhan and Abd-al-Salam Ahmad Abdallah al-Janabi.

He was an AQI regional leader for Karmah and the Abu-Ghraib areas west of Baghdad.

Of course, no matter what his name actually is, or what kind of AQI poobah he was in this life, he is now sucking the barbed cock of Satan up close and personal, so that's something we can all be thankful for this holiday season.

I give. I take.

Karolína Kurková named the sexiest woman alive by E! or People or one of those goofy ass media outlets that gets more hits than all the political blogs combined(squared, and some other arithmetic function on top of it).

I checked and found out she's one of the Victoria's Secret models. So that's gotta be worth a couple of bucks.

Here she is...

At the risk of my Dave in Texas parrafin creds, I gotta say it.

She does nothing for me.

Nothing.

Perhaps it's the age thing. She's just a couple of years older than my eldest gal, and that tempers a man of my age experience.

But mostly I think it's that dumb blank look on her face and the goofy ass feathers. Bad pic?

Yes. Godawful. Pick others and post em if ya feel like it.

Anyhow, it's Friday night, a good night for arguing about hotness, so if you feel the need, I'll offer up some red meat. The time-honored question, "which one?", here's my answer.

UPDATED: yeah, I do this shit.

68 Most beautiful: Kim Novak, Tuesday Weld, Audrey Hepburn
Sexiest: Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren.

Two different things here, although there's naturally a lot of overlap.

Personally, I'd tap it before, so I wasn't bloated and logey.

One question: Missionary position, or served in a creme brulee?

Thanks to MattM.

She made a "mistake," you see.

Should Gov. Ted Strickland fire the state agency director who authorized an improper search of private records?

An inspector general report found Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Sservices Director Helen Jones-Kelley authorized an improper search of confidential records of Joe the Plumber -- the Ohio resident turned political celebrity. Strickland suspended the director without pay for four weeks, but Republicans are calling for her firing.

Jones-Kelley serves at the discretion of the governor, and according to state policy:

"using resources to violate or attempt to circumvent confidentiality procedures is strictly prohibited." Doing so "may be cause for termination."

Jones-Kelley said in a written statement through her attorney that her only intent in authorizing the information searches was to fulfill the agency's fiduciary responsibilities to Ohio's families.

But Friday, Strickland gave his reasoning for not firing Jones-Kelley, saying she made a mistake, and the punishment he settled on was appropriate.

"I felt one month without pay, which will deprive her of nearly $12,000, was a pretty severe sanction," Strickland said. "But I did not feel this good person who has served the public admirably for so many years should be tossed aside because she made a mistake."

Two other workers, who also made "mistakes" in digging up dirt on a political rival, were similarly given slaps on the wrist.

Deputy Director Doug Thompson got a four week unpaid suspension; Assistant Director Fred Williams a two week suspension.

Thanks to William A.

No, don't be silly. I don't need one. Not criminal.

Basically I need a civil litigator to compel the return of stolen goods.

Thanks.
