Fire in the HOLE

Oh those wacky Brits. They sure know how to part-ay.

Squaddie injures backside launching firework

By Michael Horsnell of The Times

The blue touchpaper was lit and everyone retired immediately, just as the trusted Firework Code recommends.

That is, except for the squaddie recently returned home from a tour of duty in Iraq who thought Bonfire Night needed enlivening.

The soldier was on all fours with his trousers down and a certain part of his anatomy pointing at the stars with a black cat thunderbolt rocket firmly in place.

The stunt, which mimicked a scene in the controversial film Jackass: The Movie, went off with a bang at the end of the display in Sunderland but it backfired on the the intrepid squaddie.

Named locally as Andrew Tilley, aged 22, he did not take off and land in the adjoining county of Northumberland but ended up in his local hospital where he is being treated for a scorched colon and other injuries.

JUBILATION...
A poem.


Un-huh. Un-huh.
Who is happy now.
de-Rummified.

The Pit in a Bowlful of Cherries

The only sour note in all of the jubilation is that I am sitting smack ass in the middle of the state that re-elected Joe Lieberman. I sincerely believe that if Schlesinger had come out swinging earlier he would have easily taken more GOP votes away from turncoat Joe. Ned fought a good game, but in the end it wasn't enough.

Don't get me started...

If I have to look at this smug fuck's face for another couple of years it may as well be in a tutu.

NAIL BITIN' TIME

Yep. Mine are starting to bleed.

My Betrothed and I will be hitting the polls about 7am tomorrow morning and I'll be watching everything after that with baited breath -- exit polls, voter turnout, trending reports...the whole shebang. Yikes.

My secret fear: what kind of damage can the sitting houses do as retribution if the Dems win both? What new piece of thinly veiled graft will Bush & Co. try to ram through while the rest of America sleeps? What does the GOP Doomsday scenario look like? No wonder this guy looks so scared.

Vote damn it!
