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

Following Mittens the Romerrhoid’s five-state primary sweep yesterday, Fox News Channel is reporting that aides are saying that Newt Gingrich will be “suspending” his presidential campaign by next Tuesday.

No real surprise – Newt’s campaign has pretty much been one long proclamation-then-reversal (say one thing, then have circumstances force a complete one-eighty days or weeks later) all silly-season long.&#160 But it’s one more reminder that conservatives have, once again, had delivered to them a proverbial kick-in-the-crotch by the GOP Establishment.

And then they have the balls to keep demanding that we give them the votes to which they’re supposedly entitled…because…because…because SHUT UP!!!!!

Lemme say this again:&#160 This is my&#160 vote.&#160 Not yours, GOP, mine.&#160 It does not belong to Gingrich, nor Santorum, nor Perry (necessarily), nor your beloved Romerrhoid, nor McCain, nor Palin…nor anyone else.&#160 It is mine, dammit, do you understand?&#160 MINE!!!

As the political party, it is incumbent upon you to convince me why the presidential candidate you place on the ticket is worthy of my vote.

You have not done that.&#160 Nor will you, if the candidate is Mitt Romney.&#160 Period, end of sentence, end of paragraph, end of topic, end of discussion.

You RINO bastard pusstards don’t like that?&#160 You should have thought of that before&#160 you tried to shove Mittens the Romerrhoid down my throat.

You’ve made your bed, RINOs, now lie in it.

It ain’t my problem any more.

WBAP 820/96.7 has reported (and Fox News has confirmed) that Widdle Ricki Santorum has “suspended” his campaign.

Mittens the Rommerhoid wins.

I don’t vote in the presidential election.

And all you RINO pusstards who claim that I’m gonna help get Bambi re-elected – come say that to my face if you have the balls.

The SpatulaGoddess has reported (and Drudge has confirmed through the Big Hollywood site) that Andrew Breitbart has passed away at the age of 43.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Hope to have more later.&#160 For now, the conservative movement has lost an icon, and this is not a good day for us.

The Seattle Post is reporting (and Drudge, via the AP, has confirmed) that former Penn State coach Joe Paterno has died at the age of 85.

He is the winningest college football coach in history, and its greatest representative, despite what the Asphyxiated Piss media says.

They say it was lung cancer.&#160 But I blame the cowardly pisstards at Penn State University, who fucking had&#160 to have a scapegoat for the Sandusky scandal, didn’t they?&#160 Paterno followed Pensylvania law – and the state of Pennsylvania fired him for it.

And in doing so, they took away his reason to live.

Congratulations, Pennsylvania, you fucking bastards.&#160 JoePa’s in heaven now, so he’s in a better place.&#160 But he could be in Hell right now, and he’d still be better off than living in your piece-of-shit excuse-for-a-state.

Well, Denizens, I may have been a liiiiiiiitle&#160 bit premature in my writeoff of Newt Gingrich.&#160 (Of course, I’d already said so, but he subsequently slipped, and even I didn’t quite anticipate this.

Newt Gingrich defeated Mitt Romney today to win today’s South Carolina primary, boosted by a fiery debate performance this week that deflated the former governor’s front-runner status overnight.

Rick Santorum will place third and Ron Paul will be fourth first-in-the-South contest.

Propelled by voters who were heavily influenced by the pre-primary debates, and a strong evangelical showing, Gingrich claimed a landslide victory, winning virtually every county in the Palmetto State save for a handful that went to Romney.

So now…with Widdle Ricky Santorum coming from behind to win Iowa, Mittens “Mr. Inevitable” Romboma – with four years and an inordinate amount of cash and so-called “momentum” – has now only won one of the first three primaries/caucii.

And that&#160 one was a hop, skip & jump from his home state.

And that…wasn’t even anywhere near the slam-dunk it should’ve been.

“Mr. Inevitable”?

I wouldn’t exactly call this guy Sherman marching through Atlanta, y’know?&#160

Fox News Channel is reporting confirming that Rick Perry is planning to perform the dreaded “suspension” of his presidential campaign.&#160 There’s supposedly a 10:00a (CT) news conference scheduled.

If this is true, I will be later on delivering the Mother Of All Political Rants&#153 against a certain Filipina skank bitch and her little toadie cunt-licking sycophants.

Stay tuned.

Well, she’s done.

Rep. Michele Bachmann will “suspend her campaign” a senior campaign officials tells ABC News, just hours after placing last in the Iowa caucuses and vowing to continue in South Carolina.

Bachmann finished sixth in Tuesday’s Iowa caucus.

Awwww, isn’t that tooooo bad?&#160 Michelle “Malicious” Malkin’s hand-picked honey-girl candidate, out.&#160 Fall down, go boom.&#160

Iowa has played a visible and vital role in Bachmann’s campaign since its inception.

It became the backdrop of her presidential bid when in June she announced her candidacy &#160 (Their link, not mine.&#160 -DV)

Yeah, it’s called “putting all your eggs in one basket, then dropping the basket”.

in her hometown of Waterloo.

Waterloo?&#160 She sure about that?

Thanks for playing, Shelly girl.&#160 And, as your strap-on buddy “Malicious” would say, DLTDHYITAOTWO.

We paid a lot for that door.

Drudge has it up that Kim Jong “Mentally” Il has packed it in.

Y’all know what that means…

PARRRRR-TEHHHHH!!!1!ONE!!!

For shame if you don’t know who Harry Morgan was. For those of us who have the t-shirt and all, clearly this is a great loss. One of those great people who plied their craft better than most. And did so with some longevity as well.

Harry Morgan for those less initiated was none other than Col. Sherman Potter, Commander, 4077 MASH, Korea.

Yes, THAT M*A*S*H.

Since the flags were already at half-stalf for Pearl Harbor day, we will keep them there until reveille on Friday.

(Pun very definitely intended.)

Denizens, to officially&#160 start your week off, we have this from the Sibling Unit&#153:

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not…

… a Congress!

“Indeed”, as the Puppy Blender&#153 would say.

From that, we jump to some breaking news that’s hitting Fox as I type this (and confirmed by Drudge via CNN)…that Bawney Fag is bailing out on Congress.

Merry Christmas, Denizens!&#160

Andy Rooney has died.

Now, Mother always said never to speak ill of the dead, and that if you couldn’t say something nice about someone, then don’t say anything.

So, I’ll just note that liberal Andy Rooney, who occasionally was mildly humorous on 60 Minutes&#160 has died, and let it go at that.

ABC News has broken the news (confirmed by Roto-Reuters) that NATO forces have killed Moammar Qaddafi.

More later, possibly.

UPDATE:&#160 The Picture&#153 is below the fold, for those of you who want to look (it ain’t pretty, you’ve been warned)…

Drudge has reported (and Fox News has confirmed) that Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple Computer, Inc, is dead of an unspecified cause at the age of 56.

His family, in a statement released by Apple, said Mr. Jobs “died peacefully today surrounded by his family…We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.”

The company didn’t specify the cause of his death. Mr. Jobs had battled pancreatic cancer and several years ago received a liver transplant. In August, Mr. Jobs stepped down as CEO, handing the reins to Tim Cook.

“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being,” Mr. Cook said in a letter to employees. “We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.”

My first ever computer was an Apple IIc.&#160 Had a lot of fun on that thing – there was a football game on it that I loved.&#160 Aggravated me no end when Jobs ditched the II series for what was then something called the Lisa&#153 – later to become the Macintosh.&#160 Then the iMac, then the iPod, iTunes, then the iPad, and all the innovations that arose therefrom.

Yeah, he probably was right about leaving me high & dry on that. (rueful grin)&#160 PC-dom would not be where it is now without Steve Jobs.

The Realm&#153 mourns Steve’s death, and sends its sincerest condolences & well wishes to his family.&#160 We are very, very&#160 sorry he’s gone, and will remember him most fondly.

Looks like ObamaCare is going to need life support.

And I couldn’t be happier about it. Read more here.

Just waiting for the impeachment vote to come up next…..

I have discovered that both of my senators, and my congressman all voted in favor of the debt bill that was finally passed. This raises serious doubts in my mind as to their suitability for office.
