    The Irony Of Obama’s Slam Of Clarence Thomas
    2008-08-18 23:04:06
    Obama’s horrendous performance on Saturday is filled with interesting nuggets and statements that I’m sure we’ll be looking at for some time. This particular one caught my attention though. In the video clip above, Warren asks Obama which sitting Supreme Court justice he would not have nominated were it to have been his choice. His [...]

    SpaceX's rocket destroys Scotty's space-bound ashes in a demonstration of tremendous irony
    2008-08-04 13:58:38
    From Engadget: Finely riding that razored edge between tragedy and comedy, the New York Times reports that not only did the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket lose its three satellites and fail to reach orbit during a recent launch, but it also destroyed the remains of actor James Doohan, best

    Dept. of Irony.
    2008-07-08 15:45:01
    On the Freakonomics blog (of which I am a great fan), Steven J. Dubner provided the readers a momement of great irony. He wrote a post about what he thought was an err in the British Periodical The Economist, where he was actually in err. His post, which is interesting in and of itself is about various print mistakes that happen varying from The Washington Post publishing an article a year after

    Changes… Life’s Irony.
    2008-07-03 21:43:28
    In life, there surely are a lot of changes that will happen. Some will be logical, some won’t be, and some might even seem ironically funny. Just like this one. As you can see, the year of he 90’s, where people are less lazy than today, people usually are more skinnier than their television sets. Different reason [...]

    The Irony of Low Flow Toilets
    2008-06-21 22:14:23
    I may as well just come out with it: low flow toilets stink. Before I get 150 emails from all the angry, Oprah watching, L.L. Bean wearing, Subaru driving, vegan, "save the universe" freaks, let me explain. (Actually, if you're out there, go ahead and send me those emails. You might convince me that someone reads this blog.) I fully support Mother Earth. If I pour myself a glass of water and

    A Bit of Irony From a United Pilot

    Today I was flying to Orlando Florida and was at the "clear flyer" line at Dulles Airport. This line shares a checkpoint with airline employees at the airport, one of whom, a United Pilot, was very... [[ This is a content summary only.

    Define Irony

    So last night I was scrolling through my site when I noticed something funny.  Check out what the very first sponsored ad says: Funny how a site dedicated to party stories and intoxication has a rehab advertisement on it. Side note: Picked up a PS3 last night so send me your online ID if you want to play. Side [...]

    As fans of irony how could we ignore the Irony Bed? Designer Maurizio Peregalli designed the and keeping in mind both modern and traditional styles. Irony pieces have surfaces with slight irregularities that create the illusion of wood, yet they are expertly crafted in Milan, Italy from phosphatized steel with a dark blue-black finish evocative [...]

    Battersea irony
    2008-03-06 10:02:07
    The news that Whitney Houston is set to be paid £1.4million to perform at an exclusive Battersea Park charity event comes hot on the heals of the Companion's recent post on the Stranglers playing the Park in the 70s.The down-beaten US star will perform for a one-hour performance at the Caudwell Children Legends Ball in the park's Evolution arena on May 8.With Houston a shadow of her former self, will she shock fans with some wayward words on stage and equal the Stranglers' ability to shock those in local government who were opposed to their legendary gig?

    Irony Bed Frame
    2008-01-16 14:30:20
    A standard looking bed that’s made of phosphatized sheet steel.  “Phosphatized”, it sounds dangerous. But whatever it is (actually it’s a chemical process), it has achieved an elegant looking bed, giving it that solid iron look. But the mattress base to this frame didn’t undergo a chemical process, it is traditionally made of rolled-up slats [...]

    Adsense Account Disabled - Irony?

    Hmmm, Signing on to my email account.. 14 New messeges! However, not all of them are spam and updates, one is from Google Adsense who has decided to disable my account because I post a risk to adword advertisers! Interesting since I haven't used this in a couple of months and have not had the ads on my blog for a long time.. What I find funny is that just yesterday, I posted about how Google

    More information has just come out about the killer who went on a church shooting that took place on Sunday. The reason he did this because he hates Christians according some disturbing writings made on his computer. According to his background, although he came from a devoted Christian family who homeschooled him, he was a [...]

    Irony Of Life

    Life is so funny. When we were young, our parents looked after us. As we are growing, our parents get older. By the time we grow up and be sensible, they are the one who need our care and support. They are the ones who teach us, guide us and advice us. By the [...]

    Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

    Amy Winehouse's father-in-law calls on fans to stop buying Winehouse's records to pressure the couple to quit drugs.So you get famous by singing a song called "Rehab" in which the main chorus is "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no..." only to have people suggest boycotting your records until you quit drugs? Oh, the life of a rock star. Anyway, as an alternative to supporting Amy's drug habits I suggest instead checking out The Detroit Cobras. Here's what LA Weekly has to say about them:"No offense to Amy Winehouse, but it was the Cobras‚ Rachel Nagy who first reinvented the 60s soul-pop diva as a boozy, punk-informed, smart-mouthed chanteuse in the late 90s." Falling James LA WeeklySo enjoy all the fun and soul of Winehouse without the guilt. Here's a couple of MP3s for you to check out:I Wanna HollerAs Long as I Have You

    Hyper-Commercialism and Irony

    Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears blog has the images and translations of an TsUM advertising campaign that is pissing off many Russians. From the UK's Telegraph: Moscow's oldest department store, which was infamous in Soviet days for its empty shelves and churlish staff, is at the centre of controversy after telling young schoolgirls to wear Western designer clothes or else become social

    The Irony of Fuel Economy Legislation
    2007-06-26 03:39:00
    Good article by David WelchTo the American car buyer, I say prepare to downsize your vehicles or pay more for them. Late Thursday, the Senate approved a bill that would require auto makers to boost the fuel economy average of the fleet of vehicles they sell to 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Right now, they must meet an average of 21.6 mpg for trucks and 27.5 mpg for passenger cars. The bill still needs to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed by the President to become law. Moving to a one-fleet average generally means auto makers will either have to sell fewer suvs or sell enough small vehicles to offset the sales volume of their gas guzzlers. Lawmakers see this as politically expedient because voters will roil over a gasoline tax.Here’s the bit of irony. Congress and the President (regardless of which side of the aisle and who is in the Oval Office) have long seen gasoline taxes as political suicide. Consumers want their big cars and suvs and would like to drive them,

    Morning dose of Irony
    2007-05-23 16:09:08
    The President has two constitutional powers to stop wreck-less Democrats from their insistence on committing Unconstitutional Acts, and one is the power of the Veto.. If this does not stop them from ignoring Constitutional Limits on the Legislature, then the President will have no choice but to Exercise his OTHER Constitutional Power, and that is to Adjourn Congress till 2008 and send the Democrat crybabies home..(Article II, Section 3). President Bush Vetos Dem’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL spending bill Wait… the President is preventing unconstitutional acts? That is almost like protecting the constitution! Wow, that’s rich. The author of the post cited swallowed a White House press release whole, and, well, the White House says that the Dems are trying something illegal. Must be so, right? Finally, this legislation is unconstitutional because it purports to direct the conduct of the operations of the war in a way that infringes upon the powers vested in the Presidency by th

    Irony and the movies
    2007-05-11 00:08:00
    I find it rather ironic that George Lucas recently called Spider-Man 3 “silly”, implying that the movie is nothing more than shallow entertainment. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?" That’s something like Bush chastising Blair for not withdrawing from Iraq; or the Chicago Bears starting Superbowl quarterback Rex Gross chiding secondary Brian Griese for failing to complete a pass.
