Kesolowski Takes Talladega 500; Wasserman Schultz Dissed

The Talladega 500 Nascar race had some unusual happenings this weekend with Brad Kesolowski pulling off a last lap win and the elimination of Dale Earhardt Jr, Jimmy Johnson, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Bush.

Coming off some idiot moves last weekend in Charlotte, Keslowski's only chance to move on to the next championship round was to win the race and win he did. Although I'm not a big fan of Brad's aggressive and dangerous moves at the expense of other drivers, his determination to capture the win was admirable.

Suffering some damage to his race car in the early going, Kezolwski came back to pull off a last lap pass and win the race. Oddly enough, Matt Kenseth, who scuffled with Kezolowski last weekend, finished second, followed by Clint Boyer, Landon Cassill with Ryan Newman finishing fifth.

The championship series moves on to the "paper clip", Martinsville Speedway, this weekend and the half-mile oval should really produce some bumping and banging and possibly a little retribution..... 

You might not have noticed, but Reince Priebus got in a real zinger against Debbie Wasserman Schultz today. In a joint appearance on Fox News Sunday, DNC Chair DWS claimed that the key question for voters will be "who has my back?" Shot back RNC Chairman Priebus, "the President hasn't had anybody's back......not even your back."

That was a reference to the Politico story, "Democrats turn on Debbie Wasserman Schultz," reporting on President Obama's disdain for Debbie. Since 2012, the White House has wanted to dump DWS as DNC Chair. She is so shut out of meetings with the president that, according to Politico, "the DNC chairwoman stakes out the President of the United States at the end of photo lines at events and fundraisers."

DNC chair as virtual stalker? Not a pretty picture. And there was Reince to remind her about it. Wasserman Schultz didn't even attempt to refute Priebus's shot, but you can be sure she will not soon forget it.

Debbie Wasserman Shultz as she looks before a makeover

Personally, I can't imagine any political group to be so deaf and dumb as to have put DWS in any power position. Besides her sickening arrogance, she is a habitual liar and will downright deny the truth even when exposed and caught in lie after lie.

I will say one thing in Debbie' favor. She has finally heeded the advice of many and now has a complete makeover whenever she knows she is going to be on national television.....

The Photoshop folks always enjoy working with Debbie

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: Some older women are gathered and the subject of conversation turns to sex and then birth control. The first woman says "We're Catholic so we can't use it."

A Texan and his wife were on a trip to New York. She had just finished showering to dress for dinner and noticed that she had neglected to pack her bras. She asked her husband to go down to the dress shop in the lobby and pick up a couple of 36-C bras. He said, "I'll go right now."

So he put on his ten gallon hat and went to the shop. The saleslady said, "May I help you sir?" When he told her that he wanted two 36-C bras. She asked, "Would you like two Playtex?" He answered, "I'd love to little lady, but my wife's waiting for me up in the room."

His friend asked, "But how do you know when you are going to land?" He said "I have a very keen sense of smell and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground."

His friend said, "But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground?" He quickly answered, "The dog's leash goes slack."

After an examination, the doctor said to the old man, "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?" The old man replied, "In fact, I do.

When the doctor examined his wife a short time later he said, "Everything appears to be fine. Are there any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?" The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns. The doctor then said to her: "Your husband mentioned an unusual problem. He claimed that he was usually cold and chilly after having sex with you the first time and then hot and sweaty after the second time. Do you have any idea about why?"

The woman replied, "Yeah, that's because the first time is usually in January and the second time is in August."
