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

Never was really that much of a comic-book kinda guy. You won’t find stacks of Superman&#160 in my storage shed, nor Archie, nor Batman, et. al.&#160 I have one copy of a Star Wars&#160 comic book, and it&#160 isn’t really all that good.

But now, I have another reason never to buy one:&#160 Green Lantern&#160 has come out of the closet and gone heterophobe.

One of DC Comics oldest heroes is super-coming out.

The original Green Lantern – a DC Comics mainstay for the past 70 years – will be revealed to be a gay man in next week’s issue of “Earth 2.”

Alan Scott – formerly a married father of two who first appeared in 1940 – tips readers off to his sexuality early on in the comic when he gives his boyfriend a welcome home kiss.

No, I won’t&#160 post the pic – you’ll have to go read the story and retch about it over there.

Fuck you, DC Comics.&#160 Special place in Hell for you bastards when Christ returns and sets up his kingdom.&#160 How many Young Skulls Full o’ Much&#153 are gonna decide to violate their built-in genetic programming (and no, they’re still&#160 not “born that way”, fudgepackers) and cause themselves untold amounts of grief, suffering and physical maladies over the course of their lives?

Just because you asstwinkles at DC decided to cave into ONE-TO-THREE FUCKING PERCENT OF THE POPULATION!?!?!?!

Let’s hope you douchewads at least got a reach-around out of it.

ESADIAF, motherfuckers.&#160

Cthulu help me, I do so&#160 feel sorry for the dad in that family.&#160 Had that been me, I’d’ve left a long&#160 time ago.

MRS. VENOMOUS (with cast-iron skillet):&#160 WHAT?!?!?!?!

VENOMOUS:&#160 Take the hint, woman.

MRS. VENOMOUS (sheepishly):&#160 Yes, honey.

Seriously, Verizon.&#160 First “Susie” and her worldwide universal lemonade conglomerate, where there’s not so much as a sniff&#160 of parentage within a thousand miles (and why isn’t the precious little darling mini-diva in SCHOOL, anyway, hm?), and now this?

You douchetards really don’t&#160 want my business, do you?

(Hat tip:&#160 Krondax.)

This isn’t a terribly funny cartoon.&#160 (Sorry, Kron – it isn’t.)

But it is&#160 a pretty poignant commentary on just how far our society has devolved.&#160 The old nursery rhymes, designed to teach our children the language in a fun, whimsical way, now reduced to nothing more than “what shit are you smoking, dad, seriously”?

This country is being lined up for God’s judgement.&#160 And it will have wholeheartedly earned it.

Hell, who needs Weight Watchers&#169?&#160 The sight of Barkley in that get-up is more&#160 than enough to take away my&#160 appetite.

Ew.&#160 Just.&#160 Fuckin’.&#160 Ew.

As the years go on, I have become less and less impressed by the various beauty pageants. This report from the Miss Universe folks just put the final nail in the coffin.

“Transgender women have notched a key victory in a bid for equality, as the Miss Universe Organization announced today that they will be allowed to compete in its pageants.”

Actually, I can’t really take credit for this WITY&#153 – but I’ll be happy to credit blogger Billy Johnson, Jr, whom I quoted here:

While the cause of death has not yet been revealed, one can only wonder whether it was drug-related.

The results of the autopsy were released today.&#160 Annnnnnnd…bingo.

Whitney Houston was a chronic cocaine user who had the drug in her system when she drowned in a hotel bathtub, coroner’s officials said Thursday after releasing autopsy findings that also noted heart disease contributed to her death.

The disclosure ended weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards.

[…]

Coroner’s Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said cocaine and its byproducts were found in Houston’s system, and the drug was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He said the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user.

Okay, that’s the WITY&#153 for Mr. Johnson.&#160 Here’s my&#160 WITY&#153.

Toxicology results also showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system. Houston died just hours before she was scheduled to appear at producer Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Awards bash.

Uh-huh.

What?&#160 Did?&#160 I?&#160 Tell Ya&#153???

This…is not&#160 good.

Fifteen TCU students, including four members of the football team, were among 18 people arrested early Wednesday after a six-month drug sting in which deals allegedly went down everywhere from players’ homes to a Hooters restaurant.

[…]

The bust ensnared members of the Horned Frog football team, which recently celebrated an invitation to the Big 12 conference, and information in the documents revealed a surprise team-wide drug test on National Signing Day.

I am reminded of a time nearly 30 years ago.&#160 TCU’s new head coach, Jim Wacker, had just led his Horned Frogs to an 8-4 record and a berth in the Bluebonnet Bowl, and things were looking good for the Purple & White for the foreseeable future.

Then came 1985.

NCAA investigators arrived on the Texas Christian University campus Wednesday to look into reports that as many as 29 players accepted money from alumni trying to beef up the school’s football program.

[…]

TCU turned itself in to the NCAA for inspection and suspended seven players, including All-American running back Kenneth Davis, who admitted taking money from boosters.

The resulting scandal crippled the Frog program for 15 years.&#160 Only when Dennis Franchione brought his act from New Mexico did Frog fortunes begin to turn.

Now we’ve got this.&#160 And it’s all over the media here – the three four major affiliates, ESPN – everyone’s covering it.&#160 Dale Hansen even went “unplugged” on it (gee, wonder why the fatass never goes “unplugged” when something good&#160 happens to them, hm?).

One of the perps, Devin Johnson, stated to police that as many as 82 players failed a mandatory drug test sprung on the players by Gary Patterson on Feb 1st.&#160 And if that’s&#160 the case, one wonders how long it’ll cripple TCU this&#160 time.

I’ve got a bad&#160 feeling about this…

Memo to Artur Davis of National Review Online:

Enter the last dream date that Republicans may have at their disposal. His name is Jeb Bush, and this time, there is a feasibility around the idea that seemed unthinkable months ago.

Oh, do&#160 go fuck yourself.

Denizens, welcome to this week’s edition of the Perfect Football Weekend&#153.

Arlington Heights gets its season ended by Birdville tonight, fifth-ranked Smurf Turf Douchebag State proves once again it can’t beat TCU without their so-called “trickeration” (they’ll win, but they’ll have to use trick plays to do so), sixth-ranked Oklahoma has the week off, so we’ll plug in 18th-ranked Wisconsin at UMinne-haha, 19th-ranked Nebraska is at 12th-ranked Penn State, and Dallas has Beefalo at home on Sunday.

And I’m not pontificating on the games this weekend, because I’ve got a Red Curtain o’ Blood&#153 covering my eyes RightAboutNow&#153, and a certain Filipina bitch – not to mention a lot of other Lame-Assed Media&#153 types – are at the top of my shit list.

Some background.&#160 A damned good man lost his job today, and he lost it for the CARDINAL, UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!!11!!!ONE!!1!ELEVENTYMILLION!!1!…of following Pennsylvania state law.

I refer, of course, to Joe Paterno.

For the first time in almost a half-century, someone other than Joe Paterno is calling the shots at Penn State.

The winningest coach in major college football history was fired Wednesday night

A good man is now persona non grata&#160 with a great many shitheaded asshats around this country simply because he followed Pennsylvania state law and delivered a second-hand report from an underling about a criminal incident that he did not personally witness.&#160 Paterno went to his athletic director, as he should have done, and reported what he had been told.&#160 Yet, he is being treated as a pariah by those of the Fifth Column&#153 who think they’re entitled to be the moral arbiters of us all.

And whether Joe Paterno was initially told the lurid specifics of that 2002 rape or not, the reports that say that Jerry Sandusky still had access to the locker room, still had an office, and still was entitled to roam the Penn State campus defy all definitions of responsible adult behavior.

What does it take for someone, knowing Sandusky’s questioned past, to go to somebody in charge — the athletic director, the school president, the police — and ask, “What’s that pervert doing near this football team?”

Instead, having failed to expel one-time assistant coach and defensive coordinator Sandusky, the people at Penn State tried to pull a rug over the situation.

Because they could.

What, because you&#160 say so, Gil LeBretard?&#160 And pray tell, what gives you the right to pass judgment over Joe Paterno?&#160 Or any of us, for that matter?

And then there’s that Filipina skank, Michelle “Malicious” Malkin.

And now, it’s college football. The failures to act, the cover up, the rationalizations all echo each other — and also mirror the institutionalized failures, cover ups, and rationalizations of Catholic Church officials who enabled pedophiles to prey on innocent young victims entrusted to their care and oversight across the country.

The systemic enabling of child sexual predators is an unspeakable evil. So is willful ignorance about the sordid details of the case.

The latest developments? It looks like Joe Paterno will get off and get out easy.

Yeah, Malicious?&#160 Tell me – when do you get your&#160 comeuppance for what you did to Rick Perry, hm?&#160 When do you get shunned and frog-marched (as you apparently want to do with JoePa) for whining & sniveling about Tina Brown’s “stupid photo tricks” against your honeygirl, Michelle Bachmann, then four days later did the exact same fucking thing to Governor Perry?

The point, skank, in case you can’t keep up:&#160 Who the hell appointed you, or anyone like you, to be the definitive moral arbiter of all of us?&#160 What gives you, or this pusstard excuse-for-a-police-commissioner Fwankie Noonan, any business to stand up there on a pedestal and say what any&#160 of us should&#160 do?&#160 WHO MADE YOU THE BOSSES OF US, YOU BASTARDS?!

And now Joe Paterno, who had a 61-year career setting the definitive example of how a football program, college, pro or otherwise, should be run, is treated as less than pond scum and unceremoniously dumped from a job he loved, all because a bunch of fuckheaded, asstastic piles of shit decided to impose their own moral values on him and say he should&#160 have done something a lot of them probably wouldn’t have had the balls to do themselves in his stead?

Ever noticed how the same ones who snivel, piss & moan about Christians supposedly imposing their values on others suddenly decide it’s okay for them&#160 to do so when it involves their own&#160 half-assed excuses-for-values being imposed.

Fuck ’em.&#160 Just fuck all&#160 of ’em.&#160

UPDATE:&#160 Oh, and not to put too&#160 fine a point thereupon (and yes, I know this doesn’t mean shit to anyone outside this blog – give me credit for still realizing the world doesn’t revolve around me)…from this point forward into perpetuity, a Perfect Football Weekend&#153 will be declared on the spot, regardless of how the rest of my teams do, anytime Penn State gets its ass handed to them.

Meaning, for example, that if Nebraska wins this weekend, it’s an automatic PFW, even if I go 0-4 with the other squads.

Fuck you, Penn State “trustees”.&#160 I wouldn’t trust you now with my shit, much less my kid.

It’s a damned good thing that I don’t own the Texas Rangers baseball franchise.

Ron “Crackhead” Washington would not have gotten the chance to manage Game 7.&#160 He would have been fired tonight.

On July 5, 2011, presidential candidate Abdul K. Hassan asked the United States Federal Elections Commission to issue a ruling as to his rights and obligations under the various federal election laws including the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”). After an open meeting on September 1, 2011, during which the issues were intensely deliberated, the FEC unanimously voted (6-0) the next day. The FEC ruled that I can run for President and can solicit and receive contributions.

As I understand, Mr. Hassan was born in Guyana,

Also, consider this:

As a naturalized American citizen, the natural born provision of the Constitution prevents me from becoming President. However, in my view, this prohibition has been trumped by the equal protection guarantee of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution which prohibits the sort of national origin discrimination that is contained in the natural born provision.
[…]
It is also my view that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, in essence, placed naturalized and natural born citizens on equal footing and in so doing, abrogated and trumped the discrimination against naturalized citizens that is contained in the natural born provision.

Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m fairly certain that thanks to all the farking “social justice” being spewed out by the Demonscums over the past couple of years, this sort of Bravo Sierra will INCREASE as the “fundamental transformation” continues under Dictator-for life-wannabe Al-Obambi.

First it was tossing out prayer and faith, then family values, then the definition of marriage, followed by corrupting our kids. Now we have another case of just plain ol’ no respect for human decency….well, just plain no respect at all. Just how far down into the pits of HELL are we going to watch our country fall into before WE THE PEOPLE fight back?

Yeah, I know I’m preaching to the choir….once again….for the umpteenth time.

All I have left to say is pray…..pray A LOT!!!

Dismissed&#153

Well, Denizens, as you know by now, the Imperial Socialist Congress&#153 caved to Bambi & the Demoscum over the debt “deal” (Such A Deal&#153), and the Imperial Senate did likewise the next day.

Not surprisingly, Wall St. showed its disapproval over it – 512 points worth, although no one on the Street will admit the “deal” (Such A Deal&#153) had anything to do with it, and indeed the Dow gained 61 points back today.

But shortly after that, Standard & Poor’s thumbed its&#160 nose at the Ayatollah & the rest of Al-Obambi, lowering the United States’ credit rating for the first time ever.

Just a guess here, but anyone who thinks the Dow will gain&#160 Monday should come see me – I have this bridge I want to sell you.

It’s begun, people.&#160 Stockpile, lock & load.

Booker T. Huffman is a professional wrestler, currently employed by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE – Vince McMahon’s baby).&#160 One of his favorite catchphrases goes something like, “He didn’t just say that.&#160 Tell me he didn’t just say that.”

After reading this, you can imagine how I pretty much thought the same way.

Actress Jane Fonda said in a statement posted on her website today that the QVC television channel cancelled an appearance they had scheduled with her today to promote her new book “Prime Time,” blaming the cancellation on what she called “well funded and organized political extremist groups.”

In the same statement Fonda said, “I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us.”

She didn’t just say that.&#160 Tell me she didn’t just say that.

In 1972, during the Vietnam War, Fonda took a two-week trip to North Vietnam, where she was photographed sitting on an antiaircraft gun that North Vietnamese forces otherwise used for shooting at American planes.

When she returned from her sojourn in Vietnam, as Time Magazine reported at the time, she accused U.S. forces of deliberately trying to bomb and destroy dikes, whose destruction could have caused the death of many civilians.

The question should not be how QVC could have cancelled Hanoi Jane’s appearance thereupon.

The question should&#160 be how QVC was asininely stupid enough to invite her in the first place.

Those of you who’ve watched the Amy Winehouse saga like you would watch a bad train wreck, and wondering when her 15 minutes were going to be up…need wonder no further.

“Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.”

Winehouse famously battled addiction to drugs and alcohol and was in and out of rehab several times throughout the years.

Last month, Winehouse canceled her European tour after a performance in Serbia where she seemed completely out of it.

Story developing …

No offense, but this isn’t much of a “story”.&#160 “Burn the candle at both ends” like that (and believe me, that’s putting it nicely), and you eventually run out of candle.&#160 Amy Winehouse simply hit the wall at warp speed, without benefit of an inertial-dampening system.

A waste, and a damned shame.
