Worst Month Ever

I don't even have a good excuse. I have flat out slacked off during the month of May. I'm going to chalk it up to spring fever, but you know as well as I do that is not the case. Laziness is a big part of it. Then you have the absolute rage that builds up inside of me when reading any sort of political news story, and as a part of my court-ordered settlement with the human species, I am allowed a finite number of outbursts each year. I have already used up the vast majority of this years, and we're not even halfway through.

So I'm going to try harder next month. The Presidential race seems to be changing somewhat, and Barack has said plenty of stupid things over the past couple weeks. That's D&F's bread and butter. W may come across as a couple beers short of a six pack, but at least he knows the basics of American and world history (I'll touch on that tomorrow).

So, have a good weekend, and we'll see you tomorrow. Tell your friends D&F is back.

How Many States?

After 4 fun-filled days in The Windy City, I have returned. Since the majority of the D&F readership was with me in Chicago, I'm guessing not too many people were inconvenienced by my absence. But for the 5 of you out there that were not at the wedding festivities, I hope your withdrawal symptoms weren't too bad.

Before proceeding with the post, I have decided that I am going to steer away from blatant political commentary. There's an endless stream of websites and blogs that will gladly try to convince you of the proper cause, and I would much rather spend my time making fun of stupid people and the stupid things they do. Coincidently, government (and therefore politics) seems to be filled with stupid people so more often that not, I will feature an elected person and / or government official that has done or is doing something stupid.

Please note: I am not making a judgment or attempting to sway your political beliefs; rather, in the case of government stupidity, I am simply pointing out that the people we trust to run the government aren't much more intelligent than the people we see on Jerry Springer. If the stupid person in question is not a government official, well, I'm just showing you how stupid he / she is.

Without further ado - here's a clip of Obama speaking in Oregon. Listen for the geography lesson:


You can't watch that and not think of the Friends episode with Chandler's Stupid State game. Unfortunately, Joey is no longer the champion seeing that Obama came up with one more state than Joey:

Obama graduated from Harvard, FYI.

Vacation

I've decided that I am on vacation this week.

Actually, I'm really burned out on everything political, so I need to take a break in order to prevent my head from exploding. Sorry.

And I'm heading to Chicago to see some family and friends as well as go to a wedding.

So, have a good week, and we'll see you next week.

P.S. - William may still post something, but based on his performance over the past few weeks, I wouldn't hold your breath.

It's Friday - You Know What That Means

Ah, it's Friday. Finally. My posts this week have been somewhat heavy, so I worked extra hard this morning to bring the D&F faithful something funny. Ok, I worked about 23 seconds on finding this video, but it's the thought that counts, right? At least that's what I tell my wife when I forget about a birthday and / or anniversary and end up buying a Hallmark card and some plastic flowers from Wal-Mart on the way home from work. How am I still married?



And since it's Friday, how about a 2-fer - this is a classic Super Bowl Bud Light commercial.



Good stuff.
