Music To My Ears

In 2009, Alexa Ray Joel (daughter of Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel) tried committing suicide by overdosing on “Traumeel” pills.

Fortunately for Miss Joel, Traumeel pills are homeopathic. So she did not have to induce vomiting, get her stomach pumped or take any other poison-control measures because she was never in the slightest bit of danger (at least, not from the pills). As a toxicologist at NYU Medical Center explained: “Nothing would happen because there's nothing in it. There's no active ingredient. There's nothing in these pills."

“That girl who was shot by the Taliban. She is the antidote. We need people like that. I get inspired by people like that.” 

-Billy Joel

 

Always Rooting For Defeat

“Don’t underestimate the capacity of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Don’t underestimate our ability to screw it up.”

-- Barack Obama, stating the main reason the Democrats shouldn't be allowed to hold power, last Thursday at a rally featuring Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel

"The Democrats are fearful of all this. The Democrats are always fearful."

-- Joe Biden, saying what I've always said about liberals (while they try to project their fear onto conservatives) as they pretend they can protect the country.

“You have never seen a more superstitious campaign than ours. We do not talk about victory.”

-- Dan Pfeiffer, an Obama spokesman, not using the phrase "NewAge" - when he should - and sounding like a loser.
