That is a spectacular joke about our national dish.
You must have chewed the fat for hours over that one.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.
Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?
See his ranting [here].
"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?
In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.
For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.
So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:
Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.
Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.
Don't you have access to a patio?
If I wanted to hide a satellite dish, I'd put it under a patio umbrella.
“Xagthrath must be really upset!”
Why, what makes you say that?
“Look what he and his brood did to that car!”
61 and sunny here - a little chilly for Kathleen to be out, but good for the byos. Except that Tom is spraying James with the water hose. The little voice in his head should tell him that’s a really bad idea, but it seems he doesn’t have one.
Pat has broken a string on his ukulele.
I have a patio, but we can have nothing on it. And since we have so many inspections, I’m not willing to risk an eviction notice.
If I were independently wealthy, I could buy a nice little house down the street. All I need is $1500...then I wouldn’t have to worry about what I can and can’t do.
“Pat has broken a string on his ukulele.”
It has begun!
The prophecy foretold of this, and it was so!
There was nothing for it now but to go forth and lay waste to the Un’nions!
OHNO! Not the Broken Ukelele String!!! Poor Pat!
I hate to say this, but my older sister (who shall remain nameless) was given an Ukelele for her birthday (I think) and we were instantly rounded up to sing for a school assembly. (The neighbor to the west was our music teacher.)
I do believe that was the last time I ever sang Alto.
We sure had fun singing with that thing! She got pretty darn good at playing it.
Un’nions and bok choy? Ummmm! Smells good...like corned beef and cabbage without the corned beef...
Corny beef, tells lame jokes while laying on your plate.
*groan*
Y’all think you’re funny or something?
Off to feed the fatnik baby again. She’s lost interest in the ukulele-stringing activity.
The new apprentice is growing well I assume?
That is a spectacular joke about our national dish.
You must have chewed the fat for hours over that one.
You know about the Un’nions???
Could be worse, could be cabbage jokes.
*guiltily looks at tagline*
Uh.. oops.
Oh, yes, she’s flourishing.
If you write something instead of just saying it you can go back and look at what you wrote. Sometimes it is not what you thought you were saying. But here it I say something nobody hear it. We need to have a choice of fonts so we can better express moods of which the writer is composing their thoughts in.
LOL! I see you’re capitalizing, so I assume your recovery is progressing tolerably well.
My parakeet, The Stig, likes bok choy! That’s all he wants for a veg, though he will eat lettuce if that’s all that’s available.
