This Thread Brought To You By The Letter P:
 

 
 
 
In Case You Missed It Dept.:
 

The Justice Department indicted the Underwear Bomber Wednesday. He was known to be an al-Qaeda recruit, yet he was allowed right onboard. American businessmen in a hurry should forget about the Trusted Traveler program and just train with al-Qaeda. 
 

President Obama gave his third speech on the airline attack Thursday. First he was cool, then he was passive, then he was angry. If Ronald Reagan had needed this many takes to get it right, Warner Bros would have dropped his contract the first year. 
 

President Obama ordered airport passenger scanners upgraded Thursday. It's all tied in with health care reform. If you don't have a personal physician you just fly somewhere and the TSA screener will tell you if your gall bladder looks all right.   
 

Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki's father told CNN his son is not a member of al-Qaeda. He swears his son is not a terrorist recruiter or mastermind. That was good enough for Homeland Security, who promptly added his name to the Welcome Aboard list.   
 

Nigeria's Umar Abdulmutallab pleaded not guilty in Detroit Friday to trying to blow up an airliner on Christmas. The episode was a nasty surprise. Obviously our attempt to make air travel so aggravating that the terrorists won't use it has failed.   
 

The Drudge Report published side-by-side photos of Senator Harry Reid Monday suggesting he's had cosmetic surgery over the holidays, including an eye lift and a face lift. He can't take it anymore. He's tired of people mistaking him for Strom Thurmond.   
 

The White House accepted Senator Harry Reid's apology for predicting President Obama's electibility because he's a light-skinned black with no Negro dialect. They can't pass health care reform without Harry Reid. If he resigned now he could save the Democratic Party.     
 

Rush Limbaugh walked into his studio Monday where he received a tempting offer from the Devil. Of course he turned it down. The Devil offered Rush a free pass from racial accusations for the rest of his career, but only if he becomes a Democrat.     
 

Game Change mortified Democrats when it hit bookstores Monday with quotes from Harry Reid calling Barack Obama a Negro and Bill Clinton calling him a coffee-fetcher. It's retro week in America. Grocery stores are selling Pepsi in the old formula with real sugar in it and Democrats are once again the party that opposed emancipation.     
 

President Obama forgave Harry Reid Monday, saying he's always been on the right side of history. How generous. He believes the nation is divided into two groups of people, those who are willing to do what he says and those who are slave-owning Nazis.     
 

Sen. Harry Reid was forgiven by black leaders and President Obama for making racist remarks. It's forgivable if you're a Democrat. Yesterday Rush Limbaugh turned Democrat and aired two hours of Amos and Andy shows, and the FCC couldn't lay a glove on him.     
 

New York Democrat Harold Ford defied Harry Reid Thursday and said he'll run in the New York primary for the U.S. Senate seat. Reid's afraid he'll win. He's light-skinned African-American who doesn't a have Negro dialect unless he wants to have one.     
 

Democrats on Capitol Hill denied Friday that if the Republican wins the Senate election in Massachusetts Tuesday that they will refuse to seat him until after Congress votes on the health care bill. It's possible, if diabolical. Barney Frank angrily denied it and said this is the worst kind of conspiracy theory, which means it's true.
 

New York Mayor Bloomberg said Tuesday the trial of Khalid Sheikh Muhammed will cost the city two hundred million dollars for security and overtime. He could get off on a technicality. The safety lecture by flight attendants on every flight will now include the reading of everybody's Miranda rights in case there's a terrorist onboard.

In an effort to calm people after the latest security problems, the White House said it is working even harder to find Osama bin Laden. The frustrating part is that we almost had him. Earlier this year, he snuck into the White House state dinner.   
 

NBC has some pilots to fill the 10 p.m. time slot. They are talking about bringing back “All in the Family,” with Harry Reid as Archie Bunker.
 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid got himself into hot water when during the election, he described Barack Obama as a “light-skinned African-American with no Negro dialect.” That may explain why Reid is the majority leader and not the minority leader.
 

As you know, security is being upgraded at the airports all across the country. In fact, today Osama bin Laden was placed on the “no-fly” list.
 

-- Leno
 

While speaking about the war on terror yesterday, President Obama said, “There is, of course, no foolproof solution. We have to stay one step ahead of a nimble adversary.” Sounds like somebody saw Sherlock Holmes over the holiday.
 

President Obama also said, “We are at war against al-Qaida, and we will do whatever it takes to defeat them.” Then Obama was like, “Literally whatever it takes — speeches, talks, speech talks, talks about speeches, speaking about the talk I just spoke about.”
 

-- Jimmy Fallon
 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is under fire for discussing whether or not President Obama has a “negro dialect.” Reid is also in trouble for saying Joe Lieberman “talks all Moses-y.”
 

-- Conan
 

It was so cold in Washington D.C. today that Sen. Harry Reid actually enjoyed being in hot water.
 

-- Letterman
 

Sarah Palin is going to be a commentator for Fox News. Well, maybe now she can afford to buy some clothes for Levi Johnston.
 

-- Jimmy Kimmel

Morning Pookie thank you for the toons. Now can we deal with the Demondrat freak out going on?

Morning & my pleasure, David! Still don't trust 'em in the least...

[Oceander]

Yay Pookie!

I just can't seem to help myself this weekend, another to offer up:

Long-weekend thanks, Oceander...adding for tom'w.

[Oceander]

Hopefully you're taking a bit of a well-deserved rest on the weekend pookie - you certainly deserve more than just one extra day's rest.

Rest? (paraphrasing Maynard G. Krebs' "work?"). Last night was good with a NY Jets win followed by the season premiere of 24. Trying to get together the results for the Best Toons of 2009 voting. Moving in ~2 1/2 mos. & today someone's coming to look at some furniture & a realtor's bringing someone by as well. Working on a family genealogy. Going to physical therapy (shoulder) 3x/week. At least it's not golf/baseball-playing season yet...so I can rest 

[Oceander]

How's the genealogy going?  I did a little genealogical poking around a few years back, and managed to find out a few interesting things (including the user name I use!).

Pretty good. My first cousin had been doing it for years & I had no knowledge of that. Once I found out (~1 1/2 years ago), I've contributed tons of info from many sources...really enjoying it...other than finding relatives who don't want to help at all

My trouble was mostly finding anyone with info, family or not!  I was particularly interested in following my paternal line back, and finally managed to get as far back as my great grandfather as a young boy in Missouri in the 1870 census (where he as listed as "Oceander", surprise, surprise).  Haven't been able to get back further than that, however, due to certain, shall we say, apparent "scandals" in the genealogical line.

I can't even find many of my living cousins in the US...

[Oceander]

How about outside the US?

[Oceander]

Something else to offer up (although as I say this I am shaking a little in my boots, for fear that I may be incurring the wrath of God, or of the gods, and bringing ill-will down on our chances in Mass. - methinks I had better attend mass tomorrow morning to ask for expiation):

Made contact with some in Argentina & Israel...it's a neverending process...

Added for Fri...thanks.
