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

Well, now that you’ve read the news here’s the insider stuff. The General and Generalette attended the opening show for Glenn’s Spring tour recently and he had some news he wouldn’t completely divulge but did give some REALLY strong hints about. The crack intel team here at the base tells me that this move is not completely outside of what Glenn hinted at, and actually provides more proof that other major changes are probable.

Glenn stated that while this wasn’t his first trip to the Southern Command surveillance area, it wasn’t going to be his last and in fact he said he couldn’t rule out that moving to this part of the country wouldn’t be a bad idea. At this point the Generalette and I looked at each other and almost simultaneously exclaimed “Hot DAMN”. Rush has already moved his complete operations to the Southern Command Southeastern Sector (aka Florida), so it makes sense that Glenn would also potentially want to move shop to more hospitable surroundings here south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Darth, Glenn stated that offers of steaks and copious quantities of beef have been extended to his offices if they were to move to your overwatch sector. Would you have anything to do with them???? Just be advised, the Southern Command has a highly more coveted product (for Glenn) that is manufactured almost nearly in our literal backyard. The General will personally visit this manufacturer to ensure several 53′ semi-trailers of their product gets delivered to the Mercury Radio Arts offices if they decide to move into the protection of the Southern Command. So yes, it’s on!!!

Folks, basically what is one thing that is keeping Glenn and his staff in NYC? The television show. It’s a network show, the network offices and studios are there in NYC. If there’s no TV show, there’s no reason to stay in one of the most heavily taxed cities, county, and states in the country (if not THE most heavily taxed). As I said earlier, Rush moved his operations to Florida many moons ago and has proven repeatedly that a conservative radio talk show does not have to originate out of NYC or Californication in order to work efficiently. Just to get away from all the taxation (without representation).

We here at the Southern Command look forward to whatever Glenn and his staff decide to do or move to. It just needs to be down here is all. PERIOD.

ThatIsAll™

Social Security is not the biggest problem with the federal budget. The Greenspan Commission in the ’80s made sure that the Social Security system is well-funded for the baby boomers.

This dumbass Dan Mosher has obvously never read this article at what should be one of his favorite papers, the New York Slimes, nor must ne not have read, heard and/or seen the other major media outlets do their converage on the story (and for once, they did  cover it), else he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to expose the vacuum in his head.

Social Security is broke.  Medicare is broke.  The United States of America is broke.  What about that does this asshelmet not understand?

In fact, the trust fund will last well into the late 2030s, when the early boomers have mostly died.

Scripture admonishes us not to say things like “Thou fool” to anyone.  In this case, however, I don’t think I’ll be able to help myself.

Mosher?  Thou fucking fool.  Just because Alan Greenspan, 20 years ago, said that this dumbshit little Ponzi scheme was financially stable doesn’t mean  it was.

We were saying thirty years ago, during the days of Reagan, that Social Security was facing economic collapse, unless drastic changes were undertaken to stabliize it.

Did any of your butt-buddy Demoscum listen?  HELL, NO!!!  All they did was slap economic Band-Aids© on it, kick the can down the road and pronounce it “fixed”!  Now, in about 20 years when I’m going to start needing it, I’m likely not going to get a @%*@!! cent  of it back!

And neither will you, Mosher – and you’d realize that if the matter between your ears was grey, rather than fecal.

But Denizens, what this shit-for-brains says next is quite possibly the stupidest, most asinine, most idiotically foolish  thing I’ve ever read.  (And that includes anything from the Church of the SubTarded, so that’s saying something.)

Charles Krauthammer is just as wrong as if he had said that a person struggling with $10,000 in credit card debt at 24 percent and a $100,000 mortgage at 5 percent should be most worried about the mortgage. The mortgage is the largest, both in total balance and yearly interest, but we all know that it is the credit card debt should be paid first.

He didn’t just say that.  Tell me he didn’t just say that.

Boyz & girlz, I’ve owned a home, and I’ve been in massive, unrepayable credit card debt.  I think I know whereof I speak.

I’m not sure how things are in other states, but I know how they are here.  If you don’t pay your unsecured credit cards, here’s what happens:

They start sending you letters.  They start calling you.  You ignore them.  More calls.  More letters.  More ignoring.  Eventually, they turn your account over to a collection agency, which sends you a collection letter.  If you don’t know how to use the United States Federal Code to handle those (and I do), or if you don’t act quickly enough, you get sued.

Then, if (for whatever reason) you lose the case, they can then file for possession/repayment – which will most likely be pennies on the dollar, and you might have to sell a few personal items, a couple of guns (if you have them), but not a whole heck of a lot else.  And if you do  declare bankruptcy, they’ll get a whole lot less than that.  But at least in Texas, you don’t lose everything.  (And, if you have the Texas Homestead Exemption, you can’t lose your house, period.)

In other words, with very few exceptions, the credit card companies can’t touch you.  Especially if you know how to handle them.  (You will take a hit on your credit record, but we’re not discussing that right now.)

Now.  Contrast that with what happens if you don’t pay your mortgage:  You stand to lose your home – and anything that might happen to be in it when they post the foreclosure notice and padlock the place.

So you tell me, Denizens:  What are you  gonna pay first?

The logic that “the largest is the problem” is simply flawed.

There’s indeed some flawed logic here, dumb fuck – but it’s sure as Hell not Charles Krauthammer’s.

The real problem with our federal budget is the excessive military spending.

Ah yes – here’s where we get into “it’s all Reagan’s/Bush’s/Bush’s fault”.  The little pussy hates our military, so he blames it for everything from his widdle hangnail to the 600,000,000 quadrillion trillion billion million that Dubya personally shot to death in Iraq.  (Not that widdle Danielle can give us any names or anything, but you get the idea.)

We involve ourselves in far too many of the world’s problems and then cut taxes instead of raising taxes to pay for our expeditions.

And then he goes on to demonstrate his absolute fuckwittery when it comes to taxation philosophy:  “Tax hikes goooood, letting people keep more of their own money to stimulate the economy themselves, baaaaaaaaaaaad.

Never mind that when you cut  tax rates, you bring more money into the Treasury.  This putrid ‘tard didn’t read the lesson debunking Keynes, though – must’ve been off huffing his bong during that class.

And Daniella, I’m so  very sorry that we spent that money on killing people, breaking things, and defending this country instead of using it to produce mass quantities of unicorn farts like you’d have preferred.  But we rather dislike ragheaded pussies taking planes and flying them into our buildings, y’dig?

President George W. Bush and the Republicans nearly doubled our national debt during relatively good times and left us in much worse shape to deal with the fiscal meltdown that their “don’t regulate” policies brought on.

Well, finally, he got to the “blame Bush” part.  Bush Derangement Syndrome does, indeed, live.

Never mind that his honeyboy Bambi, in only two years has about quadrupled  what Bush accomplished in eight.

But that’s liberal retardia for you, isn’t it?  Good thing morons like him aren’t in government…uh, wait… 

PHIL Collins has quit music for good after developing hearing problems, a dislocated vertebra and nerve damage in his hands from his 40-year career playing drums.

The Easy Lover hitmaker also thinks people are sick of him and his music.

“It’s a good time to stop,” said the star, who has sold more than 150 million records.

“I look at the MTV Music Awards and I think: ‘I can’t be in the same business as this’.

“I don’t really belong to that world and I don’t think anyone’s going to miss me. I’m much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

He let his leftist politics show a bit too much in the latter half of his career (see “Confusion, Land Of”), but he & Genesis did a lot of pretty good stuff – and “Easy Lover” with Philip Bailey is still a personal favorite.

“I’m not worried about not being able to play the drums again, I’m more worried about being able to cut a loaf of bread safely or building things for my kids.”

On the other hand, gotta like a guy who prioritizes his kids.  Or tries to, anyway.

Godspeed, Phil.  Enjoy your retirement, sir – you’ve earned it.

2010 was the Year of the Tea Party™.  In February 2009, CNBC business editor Rick Santelli suggested holding a tea party for traders after Al-Obambi announced a failed-bit plan to have the government re-finance home mortgages.  Drudge posted the video to his site, and it went viral, creating the movement.  A Seattle, WA blogger, Keli Carender, helped organize some of the first Tea Party protests.  Fox News & Michelle Malkin picked up on it, and the movement gained strength.

This year, the Tea Party helped engineer the Republican takeover of the House side of the Imperial Socialist Congress™.  Sixty-three Demoscum got thrown from office in the midterms, leaving the Donktards with under 200 House members for the very first time, part of nearly 700 nationwide offices that changed party hands.  Names like Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Bill Flores, Ron Johnson, Daniel Webster, Dan Coats & John Boozman helped yank the House gavel out of the witchy clutches of the soon-to-be-ex-Shrieker of the House, San Fran Nan Piglousi.  The Imperial Senate, while not flipping to GOP control, nevertheless realized modest gains, cutting into the heretofore-filibuster-proof 60-vote Demoscum majority.

And Republicans captured a majority of the nation’s governorships, giving the GOP a critical advantage in the redistricting battles for 2011.

2010 was the year that Ayatollah B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi followed up his record $1.4 extra-extra-super-duper-large (that’s trillion  to those of you in the Church of the SubTarded) deficit…with another $1.3 extra-extra-super-duper-large one.  It was just one of a myriad of epic failures by the Ayatollah in 2010.

2010 was the year that combat troops officially left Iraq.  And Al-Qaida swooped in, beginning an aggressive bombing campaign to overthrow the new Iraqi government, thus laying waste to the efforts of George W. Bush & the United States’ efforts there.

And in Afghanistan, a troop surge modeled in part after Bush’s successful Iraq surge…didn’t do a whole lot.  Military efforts there are resulting in a lot of spun wheel-age.  The Taliban is still fairly-well entrenched, and a sizable chunk of the country is still unsafe for travel.  Al-Obambi says  it has the Taliban on the run there – but, given their propensity for lying through their teeth, do you belive them?

2010 was also the Year of the Oil Spill, as British Petroleum had Deepwater Horizon oil rig explode in the Gulf of Mexico in April, and the resulting oil spill measured between 53,000 & 62,000 barrels per day until its capping in July.

2010 was the year that the environ-mental cases finally were exposed as the frauds they are, and so-called “global warming” was exposed as a hoax, and Michael “Hide the Decline” Mann was exposed as a douchebaggy jackass.

2010 was the year that ragheaded Muslim bastards tried to rub our noses in 9/11 – by threatening to build a mosque two blocks from the former World Trade Center site.  The concept has sparked massive criticism from conservatives (libtards, true to form have donned the kneepads for the ragheads).  The mosque remains unbuilt as of this writing.

2010 was a flat year for the US economy.  The Dow gained 2,100 points, but unemployment remained above 9.5% all year, and is at this moment closer to 10 percent than 9.5.  The economy has only been adding between 50,000 & 100,000 jobs per month, as opposed to the 800,000 monthly required to bring the unemployment rate down.  (And that’s just the U2 rate – those who are actively seeking employment.  The U6 rate – the U2 rate plus those who have given up looking – runs closer to 18 percent.)  Housing prices continue to drop, and foreclosures continue to rise, as do bankruptcies.  Oil is now up around $90/barrel and rising, and gas is now over $3/gallon in Texas.

In sports, the Tex-ass stRangerS finally won the franchise’s first American League championship (before spitting the bit in the World Series vs. the San Transexual Giants).  The New Orleans Saints played in – and won – their first Super Bowl against the Indianapolis Colts.  And Phil Jackson once again proved that he can coach a talented NBA team to an NBA championship.  Yawn.  (I’m still waiting for proof that he could coach the Clippers.)  And the Shit-cago Blackhawks won their first Stanley Cup in nearly 50 years.  Their reward was to be burdened with excuse-for-a-goaltender Marty Turco for the 2010-11 season.    And Alabama won the BCS football championship, beating the Texas University Shortdicks T-sips Longhorns.

The Dallas Mavericks pulled another one-and-done to an inferior San Antonio Spurs team.  Whereupon the Spurs got their asses handed to them by the Phoenix Suns.

The Dallas Cowboys actually won a playoff game in 2010 – the first one in 13 years.  They promptly got their asses handed to them by the Minne-haha ViQueens, and they continued that suckage through this season, thankfully costing Wade Phillips his job.

The Dallas Stars…meh.  (And, seeing as Donna Don Donna Fehr is now the chief negotiator for the NHL players’ union, pro hockey will continue to be…meh.

In 2010, we lost folks like Teddy Pendergrass, Corey Haim, Peter Graves, John Forsythe, Dixie Carter, Lynn and Carin Redgrave, Lena Horne, Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper, Rue McClanahan, Eddie Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Tony Curtis, Barbara Billingsley, Tom Bosley, Jill Clayburgh, Leslie Nielsen, Steve Landesberg, Teena Marie, J.D. Salinger, Fess Parker, Robert Culp, Malcolm McLaren, Ronnie James Dio, Art Linkletter, Patricia Neal and Blake Edwards.

Personally…well…I’m still here.  I actually made it through a marriage for a year (   ), and I’m still gainfully employed ( ).  Finances suck, but at least we’re not yet homeless.

Weight’s still a problem (when is it not?), but at least I have it back on a downward trend.  With any luck, when we convene here next year for the 2011 YiR, I’ll be back in my trusty ol’ 38s.

Which brings us to the Resolutions™.  I make ‘em, you make ‘em, we all  make ‘em.  Keeping  ‘em is another matter – but that’s another topic for another post.

So with that in mind, here are mine for the year:

(If these look familiar, they should – I got ‘em from 2008, but they still apply today.)

1. Try to be more personable.  I’m not exactly what you’d call a social butterfly, when I very well could be – the potential is there.  Efforts will be undertaken this year to smile more, frown less.

2. Go to church more.  This is something that always seems to get neglected, especially when I’m living by myself.  IOW, it’s easy to go when a wife is dragging you along; in solo mode, not so much.  I can afford to go a little more often – and I think Our Lord and Savior would probably appreciate the effort to come to His house.

3. Try not to declare bankruptcy.  Unfortunately, it’s looking like this will be one of the first ones broken.  That’s how bad the finances are.  Maybe if I win a lottery…

4. Continue other traditions.  Such as being the only red-blooded American heterosexual male who is not impressed with either Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Tila “Tila Tequila” Nguyen, Megan Fox, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus or Eva Longoria.

And finally…

5. Continue to piss off liberals everywhere I go.  You knew that  one was coming, didn’t you? 

6. Finally upgrade the version of WordPress that’s running This Fine Blog™.  (Certain Supreme Generals will appreciate that.)

Most of all, I resolve to thank all of you once again for making this blog a part of your day.  Without you guys, I’m doing nothing more than screaming into the wind.  I’m most grateful for each one of you.  Even if there really are only six or seven of you. 

Happy New Year 2011.  Let’s go kick some leftist ass! 

He’s at it again.

I’ve told you to beware of an Obama sneak attack, and here it comes.

In the face a tough election year, Barack Obama and the anti-gunners are willing to do ANYTHING to infringe upon your right to keep and bear arms.

Right now, Barack Obama has teamed up with liberal special interest groups to use the un-elected bureaucrats in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban all traditional forms of ammunition.

That’s right, Obama and his cronies are trying to ban ALL your ammo.

By using the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, they want to ban all hunting, target and self-defense ammo that contains lead, no matter how little.

Make no mistake — this is gun control at its worst.

Since your actions have stopped their plans to pass ammo and gun bans so far in congress, they’re using the old end-run.

Obama and his anti-gun cronies in the EPA know that by banning all but the most expensive ammo, they’ve effectively banned your guns in all but name.

Blah blah blah, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.  Whereupon, at the end of things, they ask me to sign this petition and possibly send them some $$$$.

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m as pro-Second Amendment as they come – in fact, I just took a class this week to re-upp my CHL (which should scare libtards no end).  So normally I would have no problem ginning up some outrage over the whole schlemiel.

Except for…well, except for this.

In a swift and unexpected decision, the Environmental Protection Agency today rejected a petition from environmental groups to ban the use of lead in bullets and shotgun shells, claiming it doesn’t have jurisdiction to weigh on the controversial Second Amendment issue. The decision came just hours after the Drudge Report posted stories from Washington Whispers and the Weekly Standard about how gun groups were fighting the lead bullet ban.

The EPA had planned to solicit public responses to the petition for two months, but this afternoon issued a statement rejecting a 100-page request from the Center for Biological Diversity, the American Bird Conservancy, and three other groups for a ban on lead bullets, shot, and fishing sinkers. The agency is still considering what to do about sinkers.

The decision was a huge victory for the National Rifle Association which just seven days ago asked that the EPA reject the petition, suggesting that it was a back door attempt to limit hunting and impose gun control. It also was a politically savvy move to take gun control off the table as the Democrats ready for a very difficult midterm election.

Methinks someone at NAGR is Sorta Kinda Maybe™ asleep at the switch, y’know?

Memo to the NAGR:  C’mon, guys.  Arise from thine slumber and get some coffee in thine nostrils.  In Other Words™, guys, PAY SOME FUCKING ATTENTION!!!!!

Geeze.
