Beyond Sharknado - here's a trailer for Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre (because fracking!)

Sharknado fans, this one is coming soon to theaters (not SyFy channel!): 

When a fracking mishap accidentally rips apart the earth’s crust, the resulting hole opens up a gaping underground waterway to a vast and mysterious ocean somewhere deep below. 
Instantly, giant prehistoric sharks begin wending their way upward toward a murky bog in the heart of the Arkansas Bayou. Unfortunately for a group of female prisoners (ed. - in tight shorts and shirts) on a work detail in the swamp, the deadly sharks attack without warning – pinning a hapless group of intended victims in a small deserted cabin in the heart of the wetlands. Death may be the only means of escape!

Because it's almost time for Father's Day (or just because you want one), here's a Sharknado Action Figure.

Video from Scott Ott (AKA Scrappleface): Vote Hillary Clinton, Because You Owe Her Big Time

Scott Ott's political parodies with a conservative bent are always well worth a read/listen. I see his posts at PJM regularly, but while putting this post together I went to Scrappleface, his old (as in pre- PJM) website for the first time in quite a while a while and found this most recent entry (go there and read the whole thing):

Boston Bomber Guilty: Obama Trades for Gitmo Inmates

On to Hillary:
Now that Hillary Clinton’s in the race, we have a chance to pay her back for all the trouble we’ve caused her, from Whitewater to Benghazi and much more.

If this "get your baby to sleep in 40 seconds" thing works...

I'll be really upset that I didn't figure it out when my kids (and grandkids!) were little enough to take advantage of it...
