Putin Ears

Pro-Tip: If you’re a Russian who’s got something on Vladimir Putin, you’re a dead man. If you think you can get away with mocking Vladimir Putin behind his back because you think you’ve got something on Vladimir Putin, you’re going wish you were a dead man. (And if you click on the source link be sure your antivirus stuff is up to date because it’s a Russian website, and if you have to reformat your spouse’s hard drive to rid the computer of some nasty little electronic beasties, you’re a dead man.)

According to Tineye it’s a photoshop, so fortunately we won’t have to identify corpses or nasty little electronic beasties on this edition of

Tornados suck. When Mother Nature gets all humpy, she yanks the Universal Electrolux from the closet and, well, you know what she’s capable of when she’s in her hissyfit mood.  It’s not fun, and there’s nothing we mortals can do about it except to hunker down in little dark dank fraidy-holes, play with our GI Joes and Barbies, and wait until the storm passes. Then we play Pick Up Sticks.

But that image blows me away, especially when AGW hucksters start huckstering about AGW. The obvious solution to tornado intervention is humidity control and mountain construction. Taxation just won’t cut it, but there’s one thing that’s sure to have a temporary coolng effect, and it’s called
The Overnight Open Thread.

Teapot Looks Like Hitler? I Don’t Think So.

You’ve probably seen/heard the story by now. There’s a JC Penney billboard advertisement on the 405 freeway near Culver City California that’s created some controversy. Apparently some southbound commuters in bumper-to-bumper traffic are getting way too many fumes in their noggins, and decided that an image of a teapot looks EXACTLY like Adolf Hitler.

I happened to be in the Culver City area last week, saw the billboard in question. I thought little of it, but after all the hoopla I shot this pic today:

Doesn’t look much like Hitler to me (maybe a bit like Charles Johnson circa 2004) but apparently the good folks at Breitbart.com bought into it as well.

Hitler, Chaplin, Johnson – I dunno, Babs, but I do know this.
It’s time for a Friday Edition of The Overnight Open Thread.

Now if a guy did that… nah, we’re not even gonna speculate, but that guy on the left is speculating x10 while the guy on the right is trying hard NOT to speculate. All that image needs is a photoshop that includes Ceiling Cat speculating from the proper cubby hole… or not.

Of course WE never speculate. We only opine, on The Overnight Open Thread.
