Luke Russert Still Using Dead Dad to Get Ahead

Posted: 08 Dec 2010 10:18 PM PST

Francisco Franco and Tim Russert are still dead.

25% of the people in this picture are dead (as of this posting.)

Elizabeth Edwards Tim Russert Matt Lauer Susan Sarandon

NBC News “correspondent” Luke Russert tweeted this photo last night:

One of my favorite pictures of my dad is him talking to Elizabeth Edwards in NH in early '08. May she be risen.

Excuse me whilst I wipe away the tears from such a beautiful and eloquent tribute.

Post Office Clerk: “No Really, Your Court Order is Meaningless”

Posted: 08 Dec 2010 09:48 AM PST


Life in Smallburg is nothing if not continually baffling. I am easily baffled. (Mr. Master-of-the-Obvious here.)

But I am most baffled Smallburg and Tinytown clerks. Our lives are controlled by clerks. Think you can just bip in and get a license renewed? Pshaw, you jest!

Need to check out your giant jug of Utz at Giganto Club? Chortle.

Take a few minutes to grab the winning Powerball ticket on your way home. Giggle.

Think you can pick up mail for a dead guy when you have a court order? Guffaw, guffaw, guffaw.

A friend of a friend is the court appointed executor for a dead guy’s estate. He knew there was mail awaiting at his Tinytown post office. When the guy croaked, they asked the postal officials to please stop delivering to his house.

But when the executor showed up to collect the mail, they refused to hand it over because… wait for it… he wasn’t part of the dead guy’s family.

Yep, the clerk refused to hand over the mail because she knew the dead guy’s family and Mr. Executor wasn’t a family member, just a very close friend. (Hello? Executor to his estate!) He showed the clerk the court document proclaiming he had the State of Kentucky’s authority to conduct all business both foreign and domestic.

But the clerk refused to hand over dead guy’s Land’s End catalogs, Bassmaster magazines, credit card applications, Cabala’s catalogs, AARP magazine, letters from:

  • Salvation Army
  • Waffle House
  • Netflix
  • DirecTV
  • Life Insurance R Us
  • etc. etc.

Clerks. These are the people that control our lives.

And Nancy says I need to smile more when I deal with them. Something like this work?
