exercises in futility

1) Naming and calling your cat.

2) "Trying to apply reason to one who has renounced it."

3) Rooting for the Cubs.

4) Trying to work with Republicans instead of what we ought to be doing, which is putting the puss of every one on a wanted poster, unleashing Dog the Bounty Hunter on them and outlawing them out of existence. Although I'd also settle for siccing on them Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

Tragedy As Receptionist Who Connected Kate Middleton Prank Callers Commits Suicide
by Tom Sykes Dec 7, 2012 9:37 AM EST

Nurse was found yards away from the hospital.

The prank phone call saga in which two Australian DJs impersonated the queen and got connected to a nurse looking after Kate Middleton took a tragic turn today after the nurse who was working on reception and put the call through committed suicide. She was found shortly after 9 a.m.

The hospital issued a statement today, saying: "With very deep sadness, the death is confirmed of a member of our nursing staff. Jasinther Saldana has worked at the hospital for four years. She was very much liked by all staff.

"We can confirm that Jasinther was recently the victim of a hoax call to the hospital. The hospital had been supporting her through this difficult time. Jasinther was a first class nurse who cared diligently for hundreds of patients and will be greatly missed."

Her husband and two children have been informed of her death.

Former Homeless Vet Pays Community Members' Power Bills for Holidays

Former Homeless Vet Pays Community Members' Power Bills for Holidays

A year ago, Curtis Butler, III was homeless and sleeping in his car. He attempted suicide twice. This week, he is giving money to those less fortunate.

Butler, 45, is a two-tour veteran of the Iraq war who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. When he returned home with his disability, he was initially denied benefits and he fell on hard times. He lost contact with his children. He had no home, no money and no hope. Twice, he overdosed on pills and alcohol.

"I figured nobody cared about me," Butler told ABC News. "I had to worry about paying bills. I didn't love myself or anyone else."

But Butler finally did get his benefits and turned his life around. On Monday, he made the holidays a little bit easier for two dozen strangers. Butler was standing in line at a Georgia Power office waiting to pay his utility bill. He heard another customer talking about how difficult it had been to make ends meet. He paid that couple's $230 bill and then kept going. When he was finished, he had doled out $2,000 to pay power bills for 20 people.

WOW!!!

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wanted to prove on
Thursday that Democrats don’t have the votes to weaken Congress'
authority on the debt limit. Instead they called his bluff, and he ended
up filibustering his own bill.
