Answering the questions Glenn Reynolds won't!

Mr. Question

Seems Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame has become the shrinking violet of the blogosphere. Maybe it's because he's pork-barreling around the Cayman Islands ("giving a speech" - hahaha, Glenn, good one!), or maybe it's because he's just gotten old and lazy like me, but he sure seems to ask or repeat a lot of questions while leaving the answer dangling. So here we go with his questions-without-answers, followed by the answers supplied by me:

Glenn's Q: Which successes were those?
My Answer: Obama got to more than 90 rounds of golf played.

Q: They’re not really going to ask for an exemption for themselves, are they?
A: Of course they will. Sheese.

Q: Johnny Depp-Gate: What Did the Mainstream Media Know and When Did They Know It?
A: They knew everything from the beginning, natch.

And same place:

Q: Hmmmm…“Why don’t White House visitor logs report Hollywood Halloween guests?
A: Because they are Democrats and they don't have to. Who's going to call them on it? The press? See just above.

Q: What Does Keith Olbermann Have Against Bald People?
A: Same thing he has against everyone else: he hates them.

Same post:

Q: I wonder what his boss thinks of Olbermann’s tweets attacking the follicly challenged?
A: This assumes his boss even thinks much of Olberman at all.

Q: Why can’t their candidate do this?
A: Because. He. Is. Mitt. Romney.

Q: THE DRUG WAR — WHICH SIDE ARE WE ON AGAIN? (This, being is all-caps, is therefore REALLY URGENT!)
A: The drug lords, of course.

Q: Can Qatar bail out France’s banlieues?
A: And all the rest of France, too.

Q: POLITICAL WIVES: Do They Hold All The Power?
A: Why would political wives be any different?

Q: IS POP CULTURE IN PARALYSIS?
A: No, it's in rigor mortis.

Actually answered this one:
WANT TO SEE YOUR PREEMIES IN THE NICU? Not if Jay-Z and Beyonce Are In the House.

It won't do any good to point out that some of these unanswered Qs were actually posted my temp blogger Ed Driscoll. It's Glenn's site and the buck stops there.

Answers! We demand answers! And thanks to me, not Glenn, you got 'em!

Titanic 2012: Bring your own lifeboat

Watch out for the icebergs... cruise recreating Titanic's fateful voyage is sold out:

For some, it might sound too much like tempting fate – and for others, it smacks of "disaster voyeurism". But for more than 2,000 Titanic enthusiasts, the chance to mark the centenary of the maritime disaster by sailing on a large cruise ship to commemorate the sinking on the very spot of the tragedy is proving difficult to resist.

As the Lord said to Noah, "How long can you tread water?"

And just why is he named "Steve?"

Okay, it's time for a trivia contest: Why is this joke funny? This appeared on the WSJ's "Best of the Web Today" page today.

This is very subtle humor that took (even) me a moment to get. Really very clever! Can you make the connection here? Take a guess as a comment, please read commenting rules.

Caption Contest!

Yes, this really happened: "Hapless blonde crashes her Bentley into a Merc, Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin."

The news story accompanying the photo says,

Scientists at the University of Michihan [sic] looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.

About which I have no comment.

Osama Under the Sea

Sitting here watching the Derby, what else do I have to do with my multitasking skills but post stuff?

You will hate me for posting this

"Abbottabad Obama"



But you'll hate yourself more for listening to it.

Osama bin Laden is still dead

And now the news!

Francisco Franco is still dead.

Osama bin Laden is both freshly and still dead.

But President Obama is not dead and never was. Unfortunately, these two reporters didn't get that memo.




Okay, this is pretty good:

What's wrong with this picture?

Actually, nothing is wrong with the photograph itself, as a photo. But examine what the photo shows:

1. Contractors who have installed steel pillars in a sidewalk to stop vehicles from parking on the sidewalk.

2. Note the location of all seven pillars and the light pole at the top.

3. Note the location of truck.

Now roll on the floor laughing. (BTW, this took place in Philadelphia.)

Cop wisecracks

My favorites of the list:

14. “No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we can.”

15. “I’m glad to hear that the Chief [of Police] is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail.”

16. “You thought we don’t give pretty women tickets? You’re right, we don’t. Sign here.”

Where is the internet?
