WTF Wednesday: No national anthem for you!

August 11th, 2010 4 comments

I swear this country is going to hell in a hand-basket…

A group of students is told to stop singing the national anthem at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. because it is considered an ‘illegal demonstration’.

Best part? They started back up again, and continued singing anyway! I guess there is still hope for the next generation after all.

From The Shooting Wire:

Hoppe’s Introduces Air Freshner With No. 9 Fragrance

Overland Park, KS – In 1903, when Frank Hoppe developed a mix of 9 different ingredients to create the original Hoppe’s No. 9 gun solvent, he had no idea that history was being made. Over the last 107 years the smell of Hoppe’s No. 9 has evoked fond memories of fathers, grandfathers, memorable hunts and great days in the field.

In response to consumer requests, Hoppe’s now has an air freshener with the unique No. 9 smell. The freshener has a string for hanging it in your gun room, car, garage, or anywhere you want the nostalgic smell of Hoppe’s No. 9.

Brett and Kate McKay, authors of the book “The Art of Manliness” list Hoppe’s No. 9 as one of the top 15 manly smells.

The Hoppe’s No. 9 Air Freshener will be available at your favorite sporting goods and/or hunting store and will sell for a suggested retail price of $3.99.

Lady Gaga: dumb pop star

Hey, she said it. heh.

Lady Gaga slams Arizona immigration reform during a concert

Of course, being a hypocrite like so many other ‘vocal’ celebrities, she stopped short of out-right boycotting the state she’s got a beef with. Wouldn’t wanna take a hit in the wallet, right?

Anyhow, while other “artists” asked her to boycott the state, her response was…

wait for it…

“I said, ‘Do you really think that us dumb (expletive) pop stars are going to collapse the economy of Arizona?”

And there ya go folks! Straight from the horses mouth (literally.)
