However, as a wise man once said, “Take two rocks, tie ‘em together, and throw ‘em in a lake. You think they sink any slower?” (Assume both rocks are spherical and this is a frictionless lake.)

OMG!! Where IS she??? What have you done with Campbell? Does this mean we’re back to BIAS and BULL?
I’m rattled. What a way…a shocking way…to start a morning.
Yahoo now treats me like my ex-girlfriends.
Too early to develop punchline.
crash
burn
If they shoes were destroyed, how do we know the whole thing ever happened? Or is this just some way to stop eBay scams?
I will take it sitting in Starbucks writing Obama speeches is an effective way to pick up chicks then? (based on the photos I’ve seen, I would guess this only impresses the 2 dimentional ones)
[re=201833]Borat[/re]: spoke too soon.

This whole ’round up Iraqi ministers’ story is no more scary than next week’s headline about Bush and Cheney arresting 200 members of the House for reconstituting the Democratic Party.
Today we are all Campbell Brown.
We overcame. A bright new day awaits. 1212 must be magic after all.
SKS must remember physics class. I <3 nerds.
I think I know the answer to the word problem, assuming the spherical rock is Mark Penn and the frictionless lake is a bowl of cheese dip.
Chrysler is certainly the red-headed step-child of the auto world.
Jon has to write only 1/2 a page in a day? Nice work if you can get it.
Shoes were thrown at Obama???? Have I slipped into an alternate universe again???? I hate it when that happens. Plays hell with my insurance.
hurled at Barack Obama…
[re=201867]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Uh, yes. I know B.H.O. is America’s only president right now, despite being only ‘elect’, but still…
People in stone houses shouldn’t throw glass shoes. Or something.
[re=201831]Dreckster[/re]: Off destroying Tokyo, I assume.
It doesn’t matter what shape the rocks are if the lake is frictionless, or even what their mass is, so let’s assume the rocks are exactly the size and shape of Campbell Brown.
A couple of days ago: [I]t was very, very important for nearly 20 brave Georgians to protest Reverend Jeremiah Wright when he came to Macon to deliver a sermon.
And now again today: More than 20 employees of Iraq’s Ministry of the Interior have been arrested on allegations that they were plotting to revive Saddam Hussein’s outlawed Baath party, government officials said Thursday.
Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf told reporters that 23 people, most employees of the ministry’s traffic department, have been arrested over the past five days but he dismissed suggestions they were plotting a coup.
Get it? Groups of around 20, give or take, massing at different points on the globe! Coincidence? The rogue planet is already affecting our world. Disasters are piling up. Alert those folks over at the planet niburu site: this can only be foreshadowing of the die off.
Jon Favreau will become chief speech writer for the WH? Well, it’s nice to see someone with a good grope, er, grasp of the English language excel.
Funny, when I read ‘works at Starbucks’, I assumed as a barista.
[re=201857]Mavky[/re]: exactly. i guess he has a lot of spare time to read wonkette.
I say give that poor schmuck Iraqui journalist the lesser sentence, George had/has it coming. But fine him 1,000 shekls or whatever for shitty aim.
Please note that the 27-year old speechwriter in Starbucks (I judge him for his double-espresso orders… be a man and get coffee that you secretly add nonfat milk, splenda, and cinnamon to, you Euro-wannabe) met with Peggy Noonan. WIN.
I feel bad for Jon Favreau. Unable to get wood. Settling for cardboard. And so young too.
“shoes that were once so memorably hurled at Barack Obama”
That’s probably how they reported it on Fox.
Dick Cheney XXX meat diaper sex … oh my Lorud. Wonkette, you’ve gone too far this time. I can’t go on living after seeing that phrase because it will haunt me every waking hour and then I’ll (shudder) dream about it too.
Taint-Mongers.
However, as a wise man once said, “Take two rocks, tie ‘em together, and throw ‘em in a lake. You think they sink any slower?” (Assume both rocks are spherical and this is a frictionless lake.)
AHHHH–MATH! YOU HURTED MY BRAINZ! Bad Wonkette…
