From Bruins-Sabres last night. This was the first sporting event since the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon the other day.
Somehow, it’s gotten a little dusty in here, y’know?
Today, 1/23/13, is the tenth anniversary of what is one of my favorite blog posts ever – so much so that I actually saved it to file. (Good thing, too – apparently, it’s no longer on the ‘Net.)
It was written by Stephen the Doggerel Pundit, and it’s below the fold for your perusal & enjoyment.
Denizens, whilst I continue to rebuild my system (read: while I continue to amass funds to purchase a new Big Drive and some memory upgrades), your homework assignment is to read this (hat tip: LC Lobo of the Rott).
“Gird your loins”, as Vice-Perpetrator Hair-Butt Plugs would say. It’s coming.
Denizens, your weekend homework assignment is to read this.
J.D. Longstreet nails it in one.
Denizens, the good news is that both the machines are now back up & stable.
KORRIOTH: For now.
VENOMOUS: Oh, thanks, Django Downer.
MERLIN: Well, y’know, it’s been, what, about three-plus years since the Great Hard Drive Upgrade Extravaganza? Remember what you’re always saying about electronic components?
VENOMOUS: Yeah, yeah, yeah – they can fail at any time, for any reason…
ALL (in unison): …or for no reason.
And even as I type this, the fan on the work box is very audibly reminding me that it’s in desperate need of replacement.
May be a bit before I get caught up (read: finally post the long-over PFW recap(s)) – but I found a blurb from this column (dealing with pet peeves) this morning and had to repost.
Below the fold. Go click it – it’s that damn good.
Denizens, your homework assignment to start the week is to read this. It’s a well-written work of fiction from Matt Bracken over at Western Rifle Shooters.
Or is it…?
Not quite as easy when your All-Universe offense is going against an experienced defense, is it?
BWAH-HAHAHHAHAHAHA…!!!!1!!ELEVENTEENTYMILLION!!!!!111!!~
Damn. Did we say “10-point lead”?
Soooooo very sorry.
How about a 12-point thumping??? 
Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz was headed toward victory Tuesday night, pulling off a stunning coup and besting veteran Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in a fierce, hard-fought, multi-million dollar Republican quest for Texas’ first open Senate seat in a decade.
In the GOP battle that became “establishment” versus Tea Party, Cruz held 56 percent of the vote to Dewhurst’s 44 percent, with 6.780 of 7,957 precincts reporting.
Now that probably won’t hold up, especially if the Southern Command down there goes ahead and takes their foot off Houston’s throat (grin), but this is damned encouraging to behold.
Memo to Davey Pants Pee-yew-hurst: This is what you get for running like a Demoscum, boy. Don’t come to us calling yourself a conservative when your entire campaign against Cruz came from the leftards’ Short-Bus playbook – right down to that fuckheaded Sandy Fonzo “Ted Cruz should be ashamed of himself, I don’t know how he can sleep at night” bullshit.
Demoscum use those tactics, chump. And you gave a textbook demonstration on why you’re well-known in Texas as a “moderate” (read: libtard). The only good thing about your excuse-for-a-campaign is that, because he endorsed you, I can now go back to calling him “Big Dickhead Perry”.
Now. On to November, and yet another kicking of Donktard ass. 
Denizens, we start this week with something out of the Grab Bag, courtesy of the Sibling Unit, who just sent this to me.
Dear Airlines:
Dump the male flight Attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers!
What the hell!!
They don’t even serve food anymore, so what’s the loss?
The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a “partyatmosphere” going in the cabin.
And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn’t need a salary, thus saving even more money.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.
This is definitely a win- win situation if we handle it right — a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why didn’t Bush or Obama think of this?
Why do I still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
Well, if that doesn’t jump-start the aviation industry… 
Kira Davis – I love you!
(She’s been added to the blogroll, in case you hadn’t guessed. 
Wish I could’ve gotten to this yesterday, but there just wasn’t time.
25 years ago yesterday, the great Ronaldus Magnus (a little Rush lingo, there) gave the greatest speech of the 20th century. (Yes, greater than FDR”S “Fear Itself”, and greater than JFK’s “Ask Not”.)
“General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
The last real President this country has had to date.
God rest your soul, President Reagan. Thank you, sir.
According to Hoft over at Gateway Pundit, MSNBC has not only already called the race for Scott Walker in Wisconsin, Lt. Governor Rebecca “Babe” Kleefisch also wins tonight, 59-41.
SUCK IT, LIBTARDS!!1!!ONE!!1!!ELEVENTYBILLION!!1!!!~ BWAHHHHH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!!!!!

Denizens, I have another homework assignment for you: This post, authored by the host of Krissy’s Absurdity, is a classic.
Krissy? Bra. Freakin’. Vo.
You. ROCK.
And to end our workweek, we bring you this, courtesy of my best friend General Belvedere:
13 Politically Incorrect Gun Rules for Conservatives
April 18, 2012
1. Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.
2. It’s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
3. Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
4. Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
5. Never say, “I’ve got a gun.” If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.
6. The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
7. The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win – cheat if necessary.
8. Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he’ll have to beat you to death with it, because it’ll be empty.
9. If you’re in a gunfight:
* If you’re not shooting, you should be loading.
* If you’re not loading, you should be moving.
* If you’re not moving, you’re dead.
10. In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!
11. If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
12. You can say ‘stop’ or ‘alto’ or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone’s head is pretty much a universal language.
13. You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
Damned straight.
