Daily Digest, Saturday December 18, 2010

Random stuff that catches my eye with links to prove I’m not making it up!


Never codified by law, E pluribus unum was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H.J. Resolution 396), adopting In God We Trust as the official motto.

No More Christmas Symbols!

Next thing you know they’ll be taking toy piggies out of farm sets. Oh wait...

Happy Christmahanakwamadan

Yeah, that about covers it.

Overheated Motion Sensors

Followed by the STD, Marriage and Divorce games…

Drunkin' Toesies

So happy the Brits are using their money (and not mine) on these useful research projects…

Mexico Mom

It won’t be long before this is a regular occurrence on our streets as well…

All work and no play

Since taking office, Obama has made nine vacation trips totaling all or part of 49 days, according to CBS Radio's Mark Knoller, the unofficial statistician of the White House press corps. That includes summer trips to Martha's Vineyard and last year's Hawaii trip.


By comparison, George W. Bush had spent all or part of 130 days on vacation through the same point in his presidency, most at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Obama has also made 15 trips to the presidential retreat at Camp David, compared to 48 by Bush.


So, GW took 2.5 x MORE days off but MOST of them were to his own home. I don’t think it required nearly as much security or traveling expenses as trips to all over the country. Just my opinion…

Four Loco Surf

Duuuude!
