It’s been an interesting week to say the least:

Русский хоккей империи больше нет: Большое спасибо, Канада!

WIDOW VS. WIDOW: I hope the IRS Worker’s wife gets it ALL!

OБАМА: IT’S NOT SOCIALISM: He Lies.

Pain aside, I’m in a pretty darn good mood this morning because the Saints won the Super Bowl. Let’s see what else is out there:

TEBOW AD: And of course the el cubos go apes**t over NOTHING!

ОБАМА 0-5: Sorry Colts, but he has the ‘Reverse Midas Touch.’ Thanks Vilmar!

BROWN CRIES ON TELLY: He did this to garner sympathy from the British Electorate, who may vote his party out of power come May.

In any case, the Federal Government is closed. YAY!

This being from Drudge, and who knows how long this will last, I’ll post it in its entirety. With a few edits of course!

COURIC FACES PAY CUT; DEEP LAYOFFS HIT SEEBSNEWS
Wed Feb 03 2010 09:11:21 ET

SeeBSNEWS anchorwoman and 60 MINUTES contributor Katie Couric faces a dramatic pay cut at the network, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
SeeBS boss Les Moonves is determined to save money and trim expenses—from top to bottom—at the former crown jewel of broadcasting.
Couric, the highest paid TV news personality in history, commands over $14 million a year, plus bumps for non-EVENING NEWS appearances.
But her salary is now in the direct line of fire, network insiders explain, and a populist backlash against Couric’s cash is said to be forming inside the newsroom.
“She makes enough to pay 200 news reporters $75,000 a year!” demands a veteran producer. “It’s complete insanity.”
The angry source continues: “We report with great enthusiasm how much bankers are making, how it is out of step with reality during a recession. Well, look at Katie!”

Couric’s $300,000 a week paycheck has become the obsession of disgruntled SeeBS staff, just as deep layoffs rock the fishbowl.
Dozens of employees—including staff members in D.C., San Francisco, Miami, London, Los Angeles and Moscow—are being let go, the NEW YORK OBSERVER reports.
Couric’s current SeeBS contract expires next year.
Developing…

EDITOR’S NOTE: Former SeeBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press. Tears welled in the lifelong reporter’s eyes as he discussed the dwindling number of war correspondents.

Dammit! Where’s my violin when I need to play it?

See this guy? It’s Scott Ritter, chief UN weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998 and stuck up for Saddam. He’s been caught again trying to lure underaged teens for sex in Pennsylvania. Maybe this time, the Cops will charge his a** and throw him in jail, where their Honor System (whatever it is) will place him at the very bottom, where all pedophiles go.
I swear, that must be how Saddam snared him…with all those young teenagers who especially couldn’t say No to Saddam in Iraq. I wonder if Saddam is discussing this matter with his sons right now in Download City….

Hey, it’s payday, we filled our cupboards already this morning, and I still get to go to work. Woo…hoo…
Here’s what’s on the wires:

AIDS INCREASE DURING WORLD CUP: Here’s a great idea for all those Soccer Hooligans who go to South Africa this summer: keep those pants zipped up!

GREAT CHOICE OF WORDS: The US Census Bureau using the word ‘Negro’ on the forms. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

PRINCE CHARLES LOOK ALIKE - AL-QAEDA WON: You don’t say…but at least we now know where Ted went to.

It’s going to need it. I hope no one treats its spouse like it treated Me and The Mrs. ten months ago.

Slowly…inexorably…it still happens. And you cannot avoid it. Let’s see what’s on the wires:

FASTER, PLEASE: الرئيس أوباما doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to do the job.

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE: Wouldn’t that be something if that giant iceberg struck Oz’s continental shelf?

ОБАМА TO DEMS: COME TO WOODSHED WH: And they’ll try again when no one’s paying attention….

And there’s still some interesting news out there…I didn’t think there would be:

JOLIE CALLS ОБАМА OUT: Too bad she’s not like her old man. I don’t see her quitting the Film Actors’ Guild anytime soon.

SC GOV GETS DIVORCE PAPERS: Dang, I’m surprised she didn’t hit him with these earlier.

PAY CZAR SETS $500K SALARIES: If there’s anyone out there who didn’t believe this was going to happen, they are frakkin’ stupid!

I started putting one together last night, and I’ll finish up when I get back from work. This should tide you over:

ОБАМА TO PA SOPH - GO TO NV FOR LEGAL HOS: The kid better start saving up for the trip.

TN MAYOR FACEBOOK FLARE: Imagine that.

TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING: And that’s as of yesterday. They’re screaming about it in Europe.

The Mrs. and I have lots of stuff to do today…so I’ll leave y’all with these stories from the wires:

MAINE GLBTs BLAME ОБАМА: What? They didn’t blame the Mormons this time around? Shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

ISLAMOFASCISTS TO SOMALIS: NO RINGTONES: Ah, well why not hasten the day when they won’t need cell phones either?

BRONX BOMBERS WIN AGAIN: I see the New York Yankees’ hatred level is back up to their pre-9/11 levels.

I swear, these days people are acting as if they were animals….

NEW YORK: Cough plays on H1N1 fears. Would you pay to see this catfight?

DC: This one’s at the Wapo. Would you pay to see this dogfight?

FLAGSTAFF: And they all got…probation! Imagine that.

Ahhh…Pay Day! Or, as it’s also known by this colloquial phrase, “The Eagle S**ts.” Here’s what’s out there:

YO JOE! No, not THAT Joe. The Joe who’s threatening to campaign for the GOP candidates next year. Remember, the Demo☭rats left him.

BITE ME, INDEED: This parody comic is a RIOT.

THEY GOT THE SOB: GOOD. And I’m sure he’ll be someone’s bitch in Prison.

As does Reality. We got back to AZ three nights ago, and we’ll be doing a lot of unpacking and arranging of stuff over the next few weeks. Not to mention The Mrs. is still on Eastern Time, and will be for some time. So let’s see what I’ve “missed”:

OSCAR NOMINATION FOR JACKO FLICK: As per Drudge. His rehabilitation continues. Ugh.

LIEBERMAN THREATENS FILIBUSTER: Oh! Please do!

KINGDOM OF CASH TO SOCIALISM: Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I actually had to work yesterday and did an early shift: 0830 to 1700. Came home with leftover garlic cheese pizza from ‘ungry ‘owies which I paid for the rest of the evening. Good thing no one else was around; even so, my fiancé stated it won’t bother her a bit.
We’ll see about that! ANYHOO...here’s what’s on the wires:

BFE MP: STORM ISRAELI EMBASSIES: This is what the Islamofascists call for if Jews continue to visit the Temple Mount. They must really want to lose their Al-Aqsa Mosque, don’t they?

IF HE GOES, HE’LL APOLOGIZE: It’s in Президент Оба́ма‘s nature. Of course, the Japanese may never do the same for Pearl Harbor, the Bataan Death March, the Rape of Nanking, etc.

ИЛ PASTOR: ‘WE HAVE MINORS OUT THERE KILLING MINORS’: As authoritarian as it is in the Народная Республика Ильиной, when the parents aren’t doing their job in raising their children, it doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to figure out what will happen.
