Screaming toddlers dominated the news this weekend. Applause to the Southwest Airlines crew that tossed mom and her out-of-control two year old off of a flight on Friday. Boos and hisses to Southwest for apologizing. My unscientific survey conclusively proves that 99.9% of Threedonians are responsible parents who do the work in order to properly control their kids. A pox on parents who don’t. The next little monster who kicks the back of my seat is getting the back of my hand.
Continuing with the theme, the whiny two-year old equivalent in global politics – the Palestinians – can’t accept appeasement when it is tossed in their laps by the wussiest American administration they are ever likely to ever see.
“Calling for a resumption of negotiations despite continued settlement construction doesn’t help because we have tried this way many times,” Palestinian government spokesman Ghassan Khatib said. “Negotiations are about ending the occupation and settlement expansion is about entrenching the occupation.”
Will the President roll over and pee on himself, as Hamas clearly expects him to do? Sadly, that is a real possiblity.
A shout out to my man Floyd for posting the Obamessiah Chronicles. Great stuff and must see web TV. The first episode can be seen here. Check it and the rest of them out – or are you an appeaser too?!?!
This weekend’s blogroll hat tip goes to The Reluctant Optimist, who continues to hold out as an unrepentant heterosexual. What on earth could lead to this statement about the sport of hockey: “I was thinking that I could learn to like it though if all the players looked like this”? Well, its not wishing that TRO could quit Sidney Crosby – not that at all.
Lileks theorizes that the Great Depression may not have been quite so bad as it seems, based on his continuing review of the 1934 Sears Catalog. “I think by now many customers would have suffered some sort of mild seizure…”
I know I did…

Re. Sears catalog, my eyes… my eyes!!!
I love those old catalogs from a graphic standpoint but what is up with something costing 13 1/2 cents?
It makes sense when a) a penny is worth something, and b) you’re dealing in multiples.
I like the old hay-penny thing.
The penny has become the parsley on the dinner plate of commerce.
You may quote me.
“If you don’t have a hay-penny then God bless you.”
“The penny has become the parsley on the dinner plate of commerce.”
“You may quote me.”
That was such a pithy quip, I probably will.
(But – will I credit you?)
Thanks for the hat-tip. I had to Google (well, Bing really) Sidney Crosby though and imagine my disappointment when she wasn’t a hot woman.
