Morning Sausage
Posted by Michelle Moquin on February 6th, 2012
Good morning!
Oh… what can I say, mornings are my thing. Love getting up early. And this was sent to me and just cracked me up. I thought a little humor on a Monday morning was the ticket to getting the week going in a good way. At least it was for me. Enjoy.
Anchorwoman Sausage Blooper Spices Up Morning News (VIDEO)
Two female morning news anchors covering a sausage eating competition? This is the stuff news bloopers are made of.
As soon as the clip above begins, it’s clear that these professional ladies are not going to make it through the announcement without at least a few giggles.
But it isn’t until one anchor tries to direct viewers to the sausage competition’s website that things get a little NSFW.

BLOG BIZ: My apologies over the restricted video yesterday. I HOPE that all of you know by now that if you click on the title it will take you to where the article was originally posted. So you can view anything there, and more, that you can’t or don’t see here.
Nancy Pelosi: Have I told you lately how much I appreciate all you do? Consider this nod my appreciation. Thank you.
AG: I read your comment a few days ago. And usually I just ignore comments such as yours, but I couldn’t help myself; I just had to come back and address you. What planet are you living on? Obama has done more for the country than any other president. You are either watching FOX and totally uninformed, a racist, or just plain stupid.
From the Desk of Anonz: What’s up? I can only imagine. I HOPE you are well. As always, your comments inspire more than just talk. Be safe.
John: I had to come back and make a comment to you as well. It boggles my mind to think that people will still vote for the republican party even if they do think that “someday” they will be that 1%. I guess the article that I posted a few days ago is correct. Low. I.Q. I ran into a woman that I did work with on Obama’s campaign in 2008, yesterday. She works almost every weekend doing something to support the DNC. She is definitely in the game. This next election, everyone who supports Obama needs to get in the game.
Peace out.
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,

There is a team of Russian scientists that has mysteriously lost contact with colleagues in the U.S. as they drill into a lake buried beneath the Antarctic ice for 20 million years.
The scientists had been battling conditions of minus 66C at Lake Vostok, in the Antarctic. As they raced to drill into a lake buried two miles beneath the ice before the weather closed in. The scientists hope the lake’s untouched water will reveal more about life on our planet 20 million years ago. It is covered with miles of ice and snow and what their drills find will all be pristine — it has never been touched, seen or examined by humans before because the lake has been encapsulated in ice for 20 million years.
The lake, in the most inhospitable region of the planet, is kept liquid by geothermal heat under the ice and its conditions are often described as ‘alien’ because they are thought to be similar to the subterranean lakes on Jupiter’s moon Europa.
The Russians were never missing. They are trying to hide any new discoveries as they drill through the ice. Part of the way down they drilled through what they thought was ice but what came up showed that even in layers of the ice there are small habitats created by and for intelligent Aliein beings who have lived beneath the surface of earth millions of years ago.
The scientists do not want to share their discoveries because they want to keep the knowledge to themselves. Perhaps they can find alien artifacts down in Lake Vostok which will give them an advantage militarily?

Hi Mischa, love it, pick-a-dick…ah, women do that everyday though, no? bu-dum-bump : D
Keith, that was cute and I love the ‘Zen, baby…’ wow
…and wow to that information above Howie, now I’m wondering what they found and how whatever it is could give the military advantage, do you mean to say that there’s ancient alien equipment that was so ahead of its time back then that it’s advanced to us twenty million years later? That is off the hook in its’ scope…could you elaborate on that at all? Thank you.

Michelle,
As you know in fashion the pairing of colors is called “Color Blocked”. In politics there is no pairing of colors. It’s all about “white”. I call it “Color Guard”.
Anonz, will the republicans ever compromise?

FREQUENT SEX—EVEN AS YOU GET OLDER—MAY BOOST MENTAL HEALTH
It’s an age-old question—does sex make couples happier, or do happy couples simply have more sex? And it’s one that I unfortunately don’t know the answer to! But here’s what I do know.
Research has repeatedly confirmed that there is an association between overall well-being and frequent sex among people in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.
Far less research has explored the same question among people older than that. But now, a new study has tackled that issue directly by looking at married couples age 65 or older.
So what do you think—would you guess that sex and happiness are still so closely related when people become senior citizens?
For insight into the findings, which were presented at The Gerontological Society of America meeting in November 2011 in Boston, I called Adrienne Jackson, PhD, assistant professor in the division of physical therapy at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in Tallahassee and the study’s author.
GETTING HOT & HEAVY
For this study, Dr. Jackson used data from the 2004 to 2008 national General Social Surveys, which had been conducted by the University of Chicago to monitor societal trends.
Dr. Jackson analyzed answers from 240 male and female married responders who were age 65 or older (in fact, many of them were over 75) and had answered questions on marital happiness, overall happiness and frequency of sexual activity, which was defined as oral, vaginal or anal penetration… so this was not “sex lite,” folks!
For the questions on overall happiness and marital happiness, respondents indicated whether they were “very happy,” “pretty happy” or “not too happy.”
And for the sex questions, Dr. Jackson divided the responders into three groups—those who had sex more than once a month, those who had it a few times a year and those who hadn’t had any sex in the past year.
Dr. Jackson found that the frequency of sex was strongly associated with both marital happiness and overall happiness.
In fact, almost 60% of respondents who had sex more than once a month were “very happy” overall, while just 40% of those who had sex once or twice a year or not at all felt “very happy” overall.
Marital happiness, specifically, was found in 80% of those who had sex more than once a month, compared with only about 60% of those having less or no sex.
HEAD TO THE BEDROOM?
As I mentioned earlier, there’s a big chicken-and-egg question here—it’s still unclear whether sex causes happiness or vice versa.
Maybe research will find that out one day. But this study does confirm that there is a link between sex and happiness—even as we get older.
If you don’t have a partner—at any age—it isn’t always easy to kick your sex life into high gear again (especially if you want to be safe about it!).
But if you are in a relationship in which emotional or physical issues are keeping you from an active sex life, you may want to try working on those issues—
for example, by going to marriage counseling or talking with your doctor about your physical limitations—specifically with sex as a goal.
Based on these findings, it may be worth the effort since happiness and a satisfying sex life are both things to want.

Some 51 trillion light years from the end of earth’s solar system. The patrols of the Navigator’s Mothership encountered a space station of real Space Vampyres.
Unlike the humanesque types portrayed in dramas on earth, these beings have intelligence but no concern for other life forms.
They are the wolves of space. They prey on the less intelligent and the weak biologically. They cull the herd of intellectual space travelers, so to speak. Those less equipped to survive are eventually devoured by this horde.
The entire crew of the Patrol Vessels were eaten. The Mothership is not aware because one of the patrol vessels had their occupants duplicated so that the vamps could enter the Mothership and prey among its occupants. It will not reach the Mothership for 19 more days.
If they are not detected in the decontamination units, they could infect and destroy the Mothership and all on its scheduled stops.
I hope this gets picked-up by the Navigator’s ships and they are prepared for an attack from space Vampyres.

So, it seems Ron Paul finds that there are two kinds of rape, honest and, I guess dis-honest…I guess his government administration would choose which is which… http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/06/10331008-ron-paul-and-honest-rape

Hi Michelle; your topic video “Pick-A-Dick” was priceless. As Howie and even yourself have stated “Hate to be the Bearer of Bad News”. As do I. But it is that bad news that we had all better be aware of and it is everywhere. Pick a category. Things are F**ked-up all over.
This is not a good time to be fighting among ourselves. Or to be fleeced by the 1%ers, considering the fact that we may not have a planet to live on in the not too distant future.
The research is in and it is past time to take some rigorous action. Global warming is no joke, and is well on it’s way towards making our precious Earth unable to supply humans with the resources it wants and needs.
Don’t look to science to help the Earth, it hasn’t the funding, nor the time.
That’s why I enjoy a good joke whenever I can.

Michelle, I live in Israel and even I know that AG must be suffering from a special kind of ignorance or he is so consumed with hatred for his president as to be in a constant state of denial about his country’s economic state.

Conservatives have rightfully been frustrated with the establishment in Washington, D.C. for far too long.
But in many cases, the state, establishment staffers and agencies are often as much to blame as the establishment politicians are.
Look at the policies, tactics, advertisements and strategies that are often employed. Many times, the playbook has not changed in decades.
PassCode Creative — which does political advertising videos in addition to country music videos — captures candidates and their messages in a way that resonates with people outside the Beltway because they not only are based in Nashville but also have not been in D.C. to have their creativity diluted by what is often an insufferable political class of operatives in Washington.
When I did my profile of them, Eric Welch, one of the co-founders of PassCode Creative along with Josh Gatlin — who is the son of country music star Larry Gatlin — was on set filming a Dierks Bentley commercial for Walmart.
Fundamentals obviously matter in politics, and PassCode Creative has shown that it gets the fundamentals of politics and political messaging.
But too often, the timid, feckless, can’t-think-outside-the-box Beltway establishment are either too careful or too scared to find groups like PassCode Creative.
This mentality is reflective and symbolic of much that is wrong with the Beltway elites, and it’s a mentality that needs to change if conservatism is to advance undiluted.

You’re the best, Main dude, keep the links coming, love the Colbert piece, he knows how to humorizzeee a very unfunny topic…and Ron Paul, along with any other man who wants to keep on defining and redefining what rape is or is not, ‘honest’ vs ‘actual’ can go *beep* himself – ask a woman to write the definition, it’ll be accurate and a wrap in 10 minutes. – ZL

Thanks
Transmitted to Mothership. It will be prepared.
