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

The Department of Yet Another Law That Won’t Apply To Them raises the red flag this morning on the bankruptcy bill that the House is poised to take up this week, the bill having passed the Senate last week.

Seems that several members of Congress are in five-digit debt, despite earning six-digit salaries and untold amount of perks.

More than 40 members of the House reported carrying at least $10,000 in credit-card or charge-card debt in 2003 and parts of 2004, according to a survey of financial disclosure reports conducted by The Hill.

The findings come as the House is poised to take up a bankruptcy-reform measure that would give banks and credit card companies expanded powers to seek repayment from debtors who file bankruptcy.

Opponents of the bill drew hope from the data, suggesting that lawmakers who nurse high-interest debt might be more likely to sympathize with indebted consumers.

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!!! (snort)

That’s good, Hill.&#160 Tell me another one…

Today was a very&#160 happy day in the Realm&#153.

For the most beautiful woman in all the Blogosphere – with all due respect to the SpatulaGoddess – Michelle Malkin herself has taken notice of His Rudeness.

The post below actually generated a mention from her, which left me dancing a jig pretty much all day long. (grin)

Now, Michelle, blogroll me and I figure I’ll be set…

Guys, I am&#160 writing on the weekends now.&#160 The policy of taking Saturday & Sunday off has been officially revoked.

In addition, look below the top post for more stuff before you guyz go traipsing off somewhere.&#160 The one-post-per-day policy has also pretty much been revoked.

Like the Doritos commercial – Read all you want.&#160 I’ll post more. (grin)

Thatisall.

UPDATE:&#160 Put a big “maybe” in front of that last blurb.&#160 This week is already shaping up to be extremely&#160 busy, as I pack up my lab in the warehouse and prepare to move across town to new digs in a business office.

After which I will likely finally be forced to maintain that phenomonon known as “bankers’ hours”.&#160 Which means that days will now start for me at 5:00 a.m, like it or not.

Their readership keeps declining, ratings are spiraling downward, their credibility has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese, and yet they still&#160 insist on verbally shooting themselves in the foot.

Ladies and gentlemen, your&#160 American Lame Stream Media&#153.

This time, it’s the Washington Pissed Post and their dumb-assed excuse-for-a-managing editor, Philip Bennett, in an interview with the Chinese rag People’s Daily.

Yong Tang: According to the opinion polls, the image of America has been becoming less and less popular in the world today since after the Iraq war.

Perhaps, Poon Tang, you might try asking the people of Afghanistan and the purple-fingered folks in Iraq just what their&#160 image of America is, instead of asking Gear-head Schroeder and *spit* Jacques-ass ChIRAQ *spit* and their Useless Nitwit butt-buddy minions who’ve been ripping off the American taxpayer with the Oil-for-KickbacksFood program.

We find it really odd how a country’s regard for us is directly proportional to either how we benefit them or they’re able to temporarily scam us.&#160 Amazing how, once we discover their treachery, their respect for us goes down a helluva lot.

Acidman’s mom lost her fight with cancer yesterday.

Denizens, please remember him and his family in your prayers this evening.

(Hat tip to Sir George of the Empire.)

Soooooo – you’re a fan of Harlequin Romances?

(Yes, Denizens, I realize – I’m not talking about you.&#160 (Well, most of you).&#160 Work with me here, okay?)

I have some titles here that I’m pretty sure you haven’t read.&#160 Why don’t you go check ’em out?

Oh, and…uh…spew warnings in full effect.&#160

The Department of Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery, with an assist from the SpatulaGoddess, sponsors today’s “Putting The Cart Before&#160 The Horse” award.

Remember, Denizens, how 11 Texas Demoscum excuses-for-senators tried to block redistricting a couple years back?

Well, now some Jawja Dem’scum – really, that’s how it’s spelled; sound it out (grin)* – sorta tried the same thing yesterday.&#160 Only they…uh, how do I say this…got it a little ass-backwards.

The state Senate’s Democratic caucus, led by the chamber’s black members, walked out of the Legislature Friday after an emotional vote on voting rights.

Immediately after a 7 p.m. vote that would eliminate 12 of the 17 forms of identification that may be used at Georgia polls, a majority of Senate Democrats, including all black members, left the chamber.

Memo to the Jawja Dem’scum:&#160 If you wanna block a bill, you generally walk out before&#160 the vote, eh?

“This is wrong!” Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, shouted before the exit. “We will not go back.”

“We will not&#160 go back to the days when we could only vote once!!!&#160 We will not&#160 go back to the days when elections were fair, honorable and credible!!!&#160 We will NOT&#160 go back to the days when there was no corruption, for we are Democrats!!!!!

You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged about that long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking skank Ward Churchill.

There’s a reason for that.&#160 I have enough RCOB moments, and my blood pressure’s high enough as it is.&#160 I’m only 10&#189 years from outliving my father, and I’d kinda like to make it there.

Anyway, it heartens and encourages me to see that Buffalo Chip University is at least considering getting rid of this wanker Churchill.

Settlement talks between the University of Colorado and the professor who compared some Sept. 11 victims to a notorious Nazi broke down Friday after a newspaper reported the teacher had once been accused of plagiarism.

University regent Michael Carrigan declined to comment on the negotiations but said he had “substantial concern” about a report in Friday’s Rocky Mountain News that Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia had accused Churchill of plagiarizing the work of one of its professors eight years ago.

They’re just now getting to that?&#160 WorldNetDaily had the scoop on it a month ago.

But what chaps my ass is this part (and a hat-tip to B.C, Imperial Torturer&#153, for pointing it out to me last week):

University President Elizabeth Hoffman has said Churchill could be fired if the inquiry turned up misconduct, but that he would not be dismissed because of his statements.

Denizens, in the interest of helping you keep your last meal down, I’m going to do you a huge favor, and put the bulk of this post under the “extended” button.

This way, you are warned:&#160 This post is rated “ew”.&#160 Not PG, not PG-13, not R, not NC-17, not X, XX or even XXX.&#160 Just “ew”.

(Denizens, this&#160 time I’m not kidding.&#160 This is not an attempt to sucker you in.&#160 No spew warnings in effect – vomit warnings would be more like it.)

Last chance.&#160 Do not click on the “that all you got” link if you don’t want to be grossed out majorly.

Misha has once again dipped a toe into the world of rampant crass commercialism.

As is his right, of course – far be it from His Rudeness&#153 to interfere with the normal progression of capitalism.&#160 Certainly I&#160 intend to buy one, myself.

I will point out, though, that on this one occasion (mischievous grin) – I beat him to the punch.

Feel free to stop by and see what all I’ve gathered together in a shameless attempt to promote Spatulaism.&#160

I was never really a fan of NYPD Blue.&#160 While it probably more accurately portrayed life – and language – in the police department than, say, Adam-12,&#160 it wasn’t something I needed to see.&#160 And if I wanna see nudity (partial or otherwise)…well, there are always the newsgroups, right? (grin)

Having said that, I wonder how Andy Sipowicz would have looked on this.

The Girl Scouts of America is promising to come to the defense of a Long Island girl who was ticketed for selling scout cookies in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

That’s right, Denizens.&#160 The good people of the NYPD are watching out for you and protecting your safety.&#160 “Young lady, put down those assault Tagalongs right now!!!!!”

Her father had set up a card table next to their van to sort out the orders, and that’s when a police captain and an another officer from the 94th Precinct came by in an unmarked car and shouted “Get over here, police.”

The 55-year-old father wasn’t sure they were legitimate police so he told his daughter to get in the van.

Prudent, I’d say.&#160 Police will generally approach you and identify themselves as long as they don’t think you’re some sort of threat.&#160 Why these&#160 imbeciles didn’t is beyond me.

The police ticketed Louis for selling cookies without a permit. The NYPD said Louis was selling the cookies from the table and the officer didn’t see any Girl Scouts nearby.

More brainlessness on the part of the gendarmes.&#160 Whatever happened to good detective work – “Uh, sir, is yer daughter around?”

Sheesh.

The Girl Scouts of Nassau County said Grace Marie has been one of their top cookie sellers since she joined the scouts in kindergarten. She’s sold about 600 boxes for her Troop 3019. But she’s afraid to go back to Williamsburg to finish making her deliveries.

As they should be.&#160 I mean, we all&#160 know that Do-si-dos are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of New Yorkers and that the cops simply won’t stand for that…

The scouts said they will provide an attorney to the family when the father appears in Manhattan Criminal Court on April 11

Let’s hope this winds up costing Bloomberg another few million or so…

The One-Gloved Pedophilic Wonder&#153 needs to get it through his thick head that while accused criminials have their rights, one of them is not pissing off your judge. (snicker)

UPDATE:&#160 The report is now that it’s a back problem.&#160 Captain Hee-Hee went to the hospital because his back hurt.

Great.&#160 Honkin’.&#160 Cthulu&#153.

Damn, Jacko, my&#160 back hurts like Hell&#153 every morning when I wake up!&#160 Serves as a wonderful&#160 alarm clock, don’tcha know?&#160

Get a heating pad!&#160 Geez!!!

Remember, Denizens, how I’ve told you time & time again that liberals are nothing more than cowardly scum – bullies who are reeeeeeeal&#160 brave when they think they have the advantage, but who’ll piss in their pants when you stand up to them?

I just love it when they make my point for me.&#160 Saves me a lotta trouble.

Drudge has a story this morning about a chickenshit down in Tampa who thought he was gonna be some sort of Billy-Bob-Badass&#153 and play havoc with a mom and her two kids.

A Tampa man is out of jail after a possible road rage incident that gives new meaning to the term “driving left of center.”

Nathan Winkler, 31, was arrested overnight and charged with aggravated stalking for allegedly terrorizing a mother and her two children.

According to police, Winkler pulled up alongside Michelle Fernandez as she was headed south on Armenia and began beeping his horn and flailing his arms, pointing at her. Fernandez, meanwhile, could not see Winkler’s face because of a handmade sign in his window that read, “Never forget Bush’s illegal oil war murdered thousands in Iraq.”

See?&#160 Comes complete with the tired, worn-out memes, too.

Winkler apparently grew more agitated as they continued to drive along, allegedly trying to run Fernandez’s car off the road several times over the next few miles.

The 34-year-old grew increasingly concerned for herself and her two children in the car and called 911.

“Look, he’s trying to run me off the road,” she is heard telling the 911 dispatcher. “Look at him. You [censored] idiot! Whatever, you moron! Get away from me.”

“I was blowing my horn at someone because I’m running stop signs and everything to get away from him,” she added later.

But investigators say even that did not stop Winkler from pulling in front of Fernandez and forcing her to stop. As he tried to run up to her car, she drove away and was headed to police district headquarters when she finally managed to lose Winkler.

It’s pansy-asses like little Natalie Winkler that give me an RCOB moment.&#160 Liberal asswipes like this limp-wristed needle-dick won’t bother to stand up to people like me who are ready & willing to kick every last ounce of shit out of ’em – but just give ’em the chance to bully an unsuspecting mom and her kids and it’s a woot-woot moment for them.

It’s things like that that almost make me wanna move down to Florida, like yesterday, and take on this wussy boy.

Hey, Natalie – how’s about you come up to Texas and try that on someone like me, huh?&#160 If it’s a fight you want, you yellow-assed fuckwit, I’ll be happy to oblige…

Stick a fork in ‘im.&#160 He’s as done as a barbecued turkey.

Dan Blather’s 24-year reign of terror on objectivity and the truth ended today with reports on rising gas prices, the proposed new bankruptcy bill, Iraq, secondhand smoke and Mount St. Helens, among other things.

And he signed off with the watchword he used during his early days at the anchordesk:&#160 “Courage”.&#160 And he received a very&#160 undeserved standing ovation from his production crew afterwards – which See-BS was cheesy enough to let us see.

We’re glad he’s gone here.&#160 Frankly, it’s this scribe’s humble opinion that See-BS’ ratings will now go up.&#160 Not much, you understand – Bob Schieffer’s taking over, and he’s not really all that much better or less biased – but the Eye will be better off now that the albatross is off its neck.

Cronkite, was right – it should’ve happened a lot sooner.

(Do check out Rather Biased’s take on it all.&#160 Nice.)

Okay, now that I have everybody’s attention, here’s what that last blurb was about:

Last night, ABC’s Nightline&#160 aired a piece on us – namely, the Blogosphere.&#160 And they noted how we had brought down Dan Blather (more on him later), the NY Times, Eason Jordan, etc, and how the Chickenshit Leftist Blogger Brigades&#153 had succeeded in forcing Jeff Gannon to resign from Talon News.

(ED. NOTE:&#160 I’m still not convinced that this guy, by whatever name he may go, is involved in any of that shit that the sodomite community says he is.&#160 I’ve seen one&#160 picture, and that not a close-up, of a naked guy on a bed who might&#160 look like this guy – and most anything can be Photoshopped these days.&#160 Until I hear it from him,&#160 the swishers could tell me the sky was blue, and I’d go out to double-check.)

And all this came with the standard liberal mantras:&#160 “Oooooh, they don’t do things the way we professionals&#160 do them.&#160 Can we trust them?&#160 Do they have credibility?&#160 Is this good for America?”

At least, that seemed to be ABC’s take when it came to us here on the Right-Thinking Side Of The Blogosphere&#153.

But what chapped my ass last night was all the adulation and fawning tossed the way of one Maura Keaney, who runs a propaganda piece known as Democracy For Virginia, which I can only guess means that they don’t consider what they have now&#160 to be democracy.&#160 Presumably because they’ve had their ugly asses thrown out of office and are no longer in charge.

Greetings – well, acknowledgements, anyway – to all the liberal scum from a half-assed liberal blog called (snicker) “Democracy For Virginia”.

Let me say up front – I’m not the least bit impressed with any of you liberal shits.&#160 Congrats to that fat icon of yours, Maura Keaney, for getting a legislator to pull what was a bad bill to begin with.&#160 Not that it was any big feat, so save your “woot woots” for someone who gives a flying fuck.&#160 Howard Dean, maybe.

Try referring to us without calling us things like the “extra-chromosome Right”, “fascists”, “Bushies”, “fundies” or any bullshit like that, and then we can talk about my maybe being impressed.

Until then, sod off.
