Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

As you guys will recall, I mentioned the other day where John-girl Murthafucker was on the verge of having his one-way ticket to Hell stamped in indelible red ink.

Who says God doesn’t answer prayer?

Rep. John Murtha, a retired Marine Corps officer traitorous ex-Marine pussy [NOTE:  Fixed it for you, Asphyxiated Piss.  -DV] who became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress and later an outspoken and influential critic of the Iraq War treasonous bastard [NOTE:  And again.  -DV], died Monday. He was 77.

Break out the champagne. 

Denizens, Supreme General Rayegun embarks on a new project today (which, I trust, he will let us know all about some time hence), so he could use your prayers.

Yes, that is  an order.

(”WITY”, of course, standing for “What’d I Tell Ya?”)

The Vicar™ & I were conducting an email exchange yesterday, whereupon he committed…well, not a cardinal  sin, but it got a good-sized virtual mock-glare from me, anyway. 

His trespass:  referring to me as a Baptist.  (The Southern  part of that was not “voiced”, as it were, but given where the Realm™ is geographically located, one could say it was at least implied.)

Whereupon I immediately reminded him that (in the words of the Romulan Nero) that I do not speak for the Southern Baptist Convention, that they & I stand apart.

Which, in turn, reminded me  that I had never followed up on my promise to layeth the smacketh downeth on their candy asses for the aforementioned folly of carrying water for a failed movement.

The world’s leading climate change scientists have been caught out making unfounded claims about global warming for the second time in just over a week.

Experts appointed by the United Nations said rising temperatures were to blame for an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods.

But it has emerged that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change based the statement, made in 2007, on an unpublished report that had not been properly reviewed by other scientists.

Feel most free to go read the rest.

So tell me, Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, my former pastor and a leader in this mad scramble to climb into bed with the Gaia-worshippers & tree-humpers huggers - how does it feel knowing that you were sold a bill of goods?  And highly defective goods, at that?

How does it feel to know that you and your fellow SBC high-muckety-mucks willfully  disobeyed God and focused more on pleasing man than on pleasing Him?  I know how it feels when I’m  reminded that I fail the Lord on a daily basis - how does it feel, knowing that not only  did you do it, but then made a fucking spectacle  of yourselves in announcing it to the world at large?

You people foolishly sold your souls for the hope in acquiring something resembling the acceptance of the world - hell, you morons even said as much…

“Our cautious response to these issues in the face of mounting evidence may be seen by the world as uncaring, reckless and ill-informed. We can do better.”

…so how does it now feel knowing that you got caught red-handed caring more about how the fucking world  saw you than how Christ saw you - and it wound up biting your on your ample asses as a result, hm?

It is time for the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention to take its turned-into-linguini-spines, step the fuck aside and allow new, fresh blood that isn’t willing to compromise as they have, to take over and carry the banner forward.

Before that passage in Revelation that I mentioned really does  come back to devour them.

(Memo to the Vicar:  It is not  safe for work. (grin))

Over at MSLSD, they have their panties in a bunch over the fact that Todd Palin - husband of Our Beloved Sarahcuda™ - wielded just a tad bit of power as a chief executive’s spouse.

Nearly 3,000 pages of e-mails that Todd Palin exchanged with state officials, which were released to msnbc.com and NBC News by the state of Alaska under its public records law, draw a picture of a Palin administration where the governor’s husband got involved in a judicial appointment, monitored contract negotiations with public employee unions, received background checks on a corporate CEO, added his approval or disapproval to state board appointments and passed financial information marked “confidential” from his oil company employer to a state attorney.

Gasp!!!  Arrrrgh!!!!!  FROG-MARCH THAT EVIL REPUG RACIST SEXIST HOMOPHOBE BREEEEEEEEEDERRRRRRRRRR!!!ONE!!1!!

So, I guess they’re going to royally condemn the Baroness Hilarious’ meddling in Das Klintonreich™ and her attempts to hijack one-sixth of the American economy back in 1993-94…oh, Any Day Now™.  Right?

Right???

(crickets)

Well, surely  they’ll at least raise an eyebrow over the First Wookiee’s™ elevated profile in Al-Obambi, won’t they?

Eh?

Hello???  Bueller?

(more crickets)

Hmmm… 

(Hat tip to the fine folks over at Hot Air.)

Well, we seem to have found Sarah Palin’s Achilles-heel: Her extreme distaste for the word “retard”.

Palin believes Limbaugh’s repeated use of the word “retard” yesterday was “crude and demeaning,” her spokesperson emails.

In the wake of Palin’s demand that Rahm Emanuel be fired for saying the liberal activist strategy on health care was “f–king retarded,” a bunch of people have been asking how she’d react to Limbaugh’s tirade on the air yesterday.

“Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards,” Rush said, adding that Rahm’s meeting yesterday with advocates for the mentally handicapped was a “retard summit at the White House.”

Okay, I’m on board with that.  And I have zero objection to the use of the word “retard” - I mean, didn’t I just get through referring to the Gaia-worshippers & tree-huggers as “libtards”?

Der Sarahcuda, apparently, takes a different view.

I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rush’s rant, and she emailed me this:

“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”

This all comes on the heels of Our Beloved Sarah™ getting a mite peeved at Rick Perry’s use of the word.

Hoo, boy.

Sarah, to employ a Whoopi Goldberg-ism, there’s a difference between a retard and a retard-retard.  If you know what I mean - and while that’s not the absolute best way it could be expressed here, I think you do.

This is not the hill on which you want any political aspirations of yours to die, Sarah (assuming, of course, that you still have them).  Unfortunately, however, to paraphrase the boys on the old Dodge Hemi commercial, “this can’t be good”.

The next time some libtard bleats unendingly to you extolling the supposed virtues of the Canadian health-care system - point out to said libtard that their vaunted version of socialized medicine wasn’t even capable of saving one of their own high muckety-mucks.

The premier of Canada’s east coast province is undergoing heart surgery in the United States this week because the treatment he is seeking was not available in his home province.

The announcement about of Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams’ plans has triggered a debate since Canada prides itself on its universal health care system.

Not so much now, I’d think.

And Bambi actually wants us to emulate  them?

Looks as if John-Girl Murthafucker (Traitorcrat-PA) could be on the verge.

Rep. John Murtha has been hospitalized in intensive care stemming from complications related to gallbladder surgery.

Spokesman Matt Mazonkey says the 77-year-old Pennsylvania congressman underwent scheduled surgery last week and is currently at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington.

Murtha was also hospitalized in December with gallbladder problems.

The 19-term Democrat was the first Vietnam veteran to serve in Congress. He leads the powerful House Appropriations subcommittee on defense spending.

The Realm™ offers up prayers for the patient.

And yes - we’re invoking Psalm 109:8.

And then they wonder why I despise them.

MERLIN:  You mean, besides the fact that they’re leftist scum.

VENOMOUS:  That, too.

Along with “Avatar” and “District 9,” a third sci-fi hit, “Star Trek,” had been considered a likely best-picture nominee, but it missed out, scoring only technical nominations, including visual effects and makeup.

And it missed out to at least a couple of flicks that didn’t even play  in Realm™ territory.

KORRIOTH:  Perhaps they’re waiting for the restart of One Of Our Klingons Is Missing.

T-BONE MCMANX:  Cthulu knows the rest of us  are.

VENOMOUS:  Hey, I’ve been busy, mkay?

CREW:  …

VENOMOUS:  Well?  I have.

CREW:  …

VENOMOUS:  (sigh) Awright, awright, I’ll see what I can do.

Damned union  actors…

CREW: 

This opinion piece is just that, one man’s opinion. He does, however, have a point. The same government which regulates Toyota, owns a piece of two of Toyota’s competitors.

Does anyone aside from me see a problem here?

(Hat tip Pasadena Phil over at Michelle’s blog.)

The light has come on for Newt Gingrich.

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich on Saturday conceded that he was wrong to endorse Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava in last November’s special congressional election in New York’s 23rd District.

“They were right. At the time, as a party builder and someone who has always been trying to help build the party, it struck me that she was the local nominee. She turned out to be a huge disappointment. And she turned out not to be frankly a loyal Republican.”

“And I think that those folks have the better of that argument.

Sounds suspiciously like a Republican trying to position himself for a 2012 run, hm?

(Side note to Phil:  JS Middleton is a fucking coward - and you can tell him I said so.  Let him try calling me  a “teabagger” to my face and see what it gets him.)

I could learn to like respect this guy.

(Via Breitbart)

The mayor of Moscow, known for his overtly homophobic statements uncommonly good common sense (Fixed it for ya, Andy  -DV), said Monday that he would never allow a gay pride parade in the city, calling it “Satanic” and saying marchers should be punished.

“A gay parade… cannot be called anything but a Satanic act,” Yury Luzhkov told an education conference, quoted by Interfax news agency. “We haven’t permitted such a parade and we won’t permit it in the future.”

Hmmmm.  And it’s bitterly cold in winter, too…

I may have to contact the SpatulaGoddess Emeritus and persuade her to take me on a tour. 

Luzhkov called for gay marchers to be punished. “It’s high time that we stop propagating nonsense discussions about human rights, and bring to bear on them the full force and justice of the law,” he said.

Day-um.  Can we nationalize him and have him run for president?

(There is  precedent, y’know.)

Tom Brookshier passed away Saturday night at the age of 78.  Those of The Six Or Seven™ who have followed football for any length of time will remember that, before John Madden, Pat Summerall teamed with Brookshier to form CBS’ #1 broadcast team during the 1970s - back when CBS had the rights to the NFC, including the Dallas C’boys.

Brookshier had a memorable interview, speaking of the ‘Boys, with Dallas running back/enigma Duane Thomas, who answered only one of Brookshier’s questions, and that with only one word - “Evidently” (when asked if Thomas really was as fast as advertised).

Which is, of course, why the Dullest Moaning Snooze  elected to focus on the interview, rather than on Brookshier.

This is for you college football fans.

It seems that there is nothing that Papa Obama will not insert himself into.

Nancy Pelosi seems to think that She can freeze defense spending, and not affect the troops.

I am always hesitant to accuse others of lacking intelligence, but in this case, I may make an exception. Congressrat Pelosi is either stupid, or she is lying through her teeth.

I am the first to admit that the Defense Department wastes tons of money, but it is simply not possible to stop spending money with defense contractors and not affect the people. I would be more than willing to eliminate military waste fraud and abuse, but the last person in the world I would trust with that task is Nancy Pelosi.
