Letter from Ireland about US elections

So, its time for the US elections and everybody has something to say about it. And that voice is not limited to the United States. Here is a letter from a buddy in Ireland.

an e-mail from Ireland

An email from Ireland to all of their brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:

'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.

On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can't seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run !

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship !!

What in God's name are ya lads thinkin over in the colonies !

Great Political Humor

The political humorists are at it again. Nothin' like a juicy sex scandal to spice up the political landscape is there? It seems like we haven't had this good a time with sex scandals since Bill Clinton's romps and escapes with lil' ol' Monica! (Shhhhh Chelsea might hear us - and tell us to Butt out! )

The funniest one I found is about that Detroit Mayor who has just screwed up publicly. Sort of a play on words from Bill's day. Click on the product to see the details

The next political clown who has screwed up is Elliot Spitzer. Imagine a guy who has everything risks it all for some stupid bimbo call girl? Guess he doesn't get it that if he is going to go after Escort services and its wrong for everybody else, it might just be wrong for him too. Bozo is all that is printable here. The text says "You Spitzer or You swallow? "

Last but not least we have Obama, who doesn't have a sex scandal, at least not yet..... But I put this here because Obama shirts are the most popular on the internet t-shirt stores . This one says, "Obama is my homeboy".

Till next time!

Zazzle - PG-13 and up need not apply

I'm going to take a break from jokes to talk about a weird adventure I had with Zazzle, the online POD t-shirt company. I started a new election store called Choice2008 and I added this design called "Screw Hillary" . I never though it would be a problem because I have seen plenty of more strongly worded designs on Zazzle and every place else.


The big stuff hit the fan and FAST. Whew! The fallout was fast. First I got some angry comments, but then Zazzle sent me a strongly worded message that this design violates their terms of service and the only way I could have it is if I rated it PG-13 or ABOVE.

OK... .fine.... UNTIL I found out.... (drum roll) that if a design isn't rated "G", it not only isn't displayed in the Zazzle marketplace, NOBODY, but NOBODY can see the design in my shop unless they are logged into Zazzle.

Now wait a minute folks. How many members of the public, when they find my shop via Google are logged in? How many members of the public who find my shop via my blog or somebody else's blog are logged in? That tells me I effectively cannot promote this design because if I display it and you click on the designs, its Sorry Charlie, you aren't logged in. People aren't going to bother making a new account, they are going to move on to the next selection in Google.

Zazzle could easily remedy this market place issue by instituting what Google Images does. Google permits the end user to set search preferences for images to something they call Safe Search which permits you to set Strict Search or moderately strict search, or do not filter.

Anyway, I hope this gets resolved soon. I have heard from other Shopkeepers who have stores at Cafepress that they don't bother putting any more energy into their shops at Zazzle because their designs are PG-13 or above and they can't promote them.

And by the way, if you want to buy the Screw Hilliary design, its HERE

Cheers y'all. Tomorrow, back to some better jokes.

Hillary's first night as president and other jokes

Ok.... its been a while. I've been working hard on a new shop - no politics in this one, just sports its at Sportschamp. I opened it at Printfection and up and coming t-shirt company with lots and lots of choices of colors and sizes and whats even better, their quality is SUPERB. So... enjoy todays jokes. And just for looking at my new shop, I have 2 very good ones


25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP



1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.



2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.



3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.



4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.



5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.



6. You watch the Weather Channel.



7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break
up."



8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.



9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."



10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door


won't turn down the stereo.



11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.



12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.



13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.



14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.



15 Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.



16. You take naps.



17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.



18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather


than settle, your stomach.



19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and

pregnancy tests.



20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."



21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.



22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never
going to

drink that much again."



23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.



24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.



25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead


of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell ha ppened?"



Bonus:

26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign

that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.

Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know

they'll enjoy it & do the same.





Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you

can. -Danny Kaye.
