Got this in an email from American Solutions. Seems the boys at MorOn.com had to send out an email that abviously just killed them to have to admit what they did.
Seems the libtards over there aren’t liking the fact that we Americans have resoundingly said “Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less” is what we want.
Recently, liberal group MoveOn.org in an email to their supporters sounded dejected. They wrote “Here’s the truth: Right now, progressives are losing this argument.”
Awwww, poor bwabies not lwiking lwife wight now????
Tough shit. Y’all are about to get a friggin’ cluebat smack across your smug-ass, arrogant, Botox face once you’re little vacation is over. The fact that Piglosi and other Chicken Little Demonscums chose to intentionally NOT allow a vote on the continental drilling bill and chose to skip town in their private G-IV Gulfstream (yo Piglosi, what’s the “carbon footprint” of that jet fuel belcher), just absolutely proves all they’re damn concerned about is making sure they keep their political power in place.
Only problem, this stunt is basically the first nail in the Piglosi et al coffin. Well, it’ll be a problem for them. For the rest of us, it’ll be time for a Texas-sized BBQ with all the fixins’.
In the energy debate, common sense is winning and it’s got the anti-energy elites rattled because they offer no solutions to lowering gas and diesel prices.
Now why would that be? It certainly doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that one! And the General would know about rocket scientists. We got loads of them here just outside of the Southern Command. NASA is practically our next-door neighbors.
Rope, neigh Steel Cable. Clueless Libtards. Giant Sequoia.
Some assembly requried.
So Edouard crossed over to land just after 0700 yesterday, dumped about 1.5″ of wet stuff on the Command complex. And then basically wimped out throughout the rest of the day.
As weather events go, it was about as useful as Shrieker of the House Piglosi actually calling for a vote on the continental oil drilling bill before leaving for the August break. For those of you in Rio Linda, that means it was a non-event.
Most everything has dried out by today, so everything at Southern Command is back to normal ops.

Steampunk replicas are fine, for some people.
For others only a full-scale, almost 100% working replica built in a garage will do.
Check this gear-geek project out.
I’d give this guy a “12” on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being hawt).
Texas has more oxygen for its law-abiding citizenry today.  A low-rent, low-life, murdering piece of illegal alien shit got a veinful last night.
With the parents of his victims watching a few feet away, a Mexican-born condemned killer apologized before he was executed for his part in a horrific attack on two teenage girls 15 years ago.
“I’m sorry my actions caused you pain,” Jose Medellin told the teens’ parents late Tuesday. “I hope this brings you the closure that you seek.”
Nine minutes later, Medellin was pronounced dead. His execution, the fifth this year in Texas, was delayed for about four hours while the U.S. Supreme Court weighed his appeal.
Four hours and about fifteen years  longer than it should’ve  taken, IYAM.
The appeal to the nation’s highest court focused on whether Medellin was denied treaty-guaranteed help from the Mexican consulate when he was arrested.
And the court properly saw it as a last-ditch, grasping-at-straws attempt to save this piece-of-pond-scum’s pathetic life by throwing everything they could against the wall and desperately hoping something stuck.
Texas authorities argued Medellin, who came to the United States when he was 3 and grew up in Houston, never sought Mexican consular protections until four years after he was arrested. By then, he already had been tried for capital murder, convicted and condemned.
This pendejo  got just as much due process (some would say a damn sight more) as any, you know, actual citizen of the state of Texas.  For the pussified anti-death-penalty crowd that hates everything & everyone (save for their beloved capital criminals that they get stiffies trying to save), this claim of denial-of-due-process is just one more piece of bullshit they tried to foist upon law-abiding Americans.
Thank God it failed.  This time.
President Bush asked states to review the cases, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this year neither the president nor the international court could force Texas to wait.
Damn straight.
What this refers to is that Shrubya joined the so-called “World Court” in attempting to bring pressure on Texas governor Rick Perry to stop the execution.  We’ll forget, just for a minute, that Crapya could have stopped this whole thing simply by commuting Medellin’s sentence to life in prison or somesuch – or by even pardoning  the boy.  Of course, we know he wouldn’t dare, lest the American people not even wait for the Imperial Socialist Congress to impeach & remove him, so he tried to be cutesy about it and demand that Texas give in to the Hague and stop the execution.
And then Limpdickya wonders why his approval ratings hover in the upper 20s.
Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department said it sent a note of protest to the State Department about Medellin’s case.
The statement said officials “were concerned for the precedent that (the execution) may create for the rights of Mexican nationals who may be detained in that country.”
Rights?  ¿Escusa, por favor?  What “rights” does an illegal alien asshole have in this country? What are these “rights” of which the Almighty Mexican Consulate™ speaketh?
The only “right” these chingaeros  should have should be to make it back to the border before the citizens  of this country start making them do a .45-caliber “dance”, if you know what I mean.
Again, IYAM.
Good on ya, Big Dickhead Perry and the state of Texas.  You did something right, for once. 
Denizens, I got nothing tonight – and the General seems to have gotten rained on and gone off AWOL (  ), so we reach into the Grab-Bag™ for this gem from the Mothergoose in Denton.
It’s long, so it’s below the fold.

The Department of You Want Fries With That?™ brings us the story of this dumbass.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Jacksonville police say Reginald Peterson needs to learn that 911 is not the appropriate place to complain that Subway left the sauce off a spicy Italian sandwich.
This guy has  to be a Demoscum.  There can be no other possible explanation.
Police said the 42-year-old man dialed 911 twice last week so he could have his sub made correctly. The second call was to complain that officers weren’t arriving fast enough.
Probably because they were too busy laughing their asses off. 
Subway workers told police Peterson became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order. They locked him out of the store after he left to call police.
When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.
KORRIOTH:  Sounds to me like a member of the Church of the SubTarded™
LSIK&T:  Point.
I still think that this is your Darwin Award™ winner, but this guy has to at least receive an honorable mention:
A suspected copper thief whose flesh melded on a utility pole after he was hit with about 7,000 volts has died.
James Buster McKay, 51, died at about 11 p.m. Saturday at Parkland Memorial Hospital, the Dallas County medical examiner’s office confirmed today. He had been listed in critical condition. A Dallas Fire-Rescue official said Mr. McKay had suffered third-degree burns and was burned on about 50 percent of his body.
[…]
When crews arrived, they found cut wires on the ground and Mr. McKay stuck between transformers on the pole, police said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokeswoman Sherrie Lopez said the man had been hit with about 7,000 volts, possibly twice. The rescue was hindered because his flesh had adhered to the metal components on the pole. Much of his clothing had either “burned off or blown off,” she said.
Along with what little brains he had.
Idiot.
If I’m Aaron Rodgers, my agent is on the phone to Packers coach Mike McCarthy, GM Ted Thompson and president Mark Murphy right now screaming  for a trade.
Warshington Deadskins 30, Indian-Hapless Dolts 14
(Hall of Fame Game, Canton, OH)
Jason Campbell threw a touchdown pass to Antawn Randle-El following a failed Dolts onside kick to start the game, and the Deadskins got a pick-six off a Jared Lorenzen pass late to provide the ‘Skins with their margin of victory.  Few regulars played for either team – meaning, of course, it was a pile of slop – but it was live football, and that’s what counts.
—
Yippee.  Ha-ha.  Whee.
Favre, who retired in March, has been reinstated and will be added to Green Bay’s roster today. The latest indication is the Packers will make him Aaron Rodgers’ backup for the moment with the intent of putting the starting job up for grabs.
That’s only one scenario in a saga that seems to change minute by minute — and it could merely be posturing by the club, which in the past has said emphatically that it is moving forward with Rodgers as its quarterback. The team resumes practice Tuesday.
Okay, anyone who really  thinks this is going to be a totally fair competition, raise your hands.
(crickets)
Yeah, that’s what I thought.  But this is not even the kicker, as you’re about to see:
Another possibility is Favre will accept payments from the Packers totaling more than $20 million to simply stay retired, eliminating the possibility of his winding up as quarterback of the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings.
Nice work if you can avoid it.
Puh-leeze.  Favre’s good – okay, fine.  I get that.  But with training camps already open, cutting him and having him hook up with another team (the scuttlebutt is Minneha-ha, which opens the season at GB in what would be the Irony Bowl™) is problematic at best.  Chemistry doesn’t happen overnight, and Favre’s gonna have trouble developing it with this new edition of the Pack, let alone anyone else.
And all this after all the hero’s worship, accolades & adulation following Favre’s retirement announcement.  Never mind that he’s pissed away a damned hefty share of his NFL street cred by this little six-month soap opera – starting with a new  team means getting buried (for the time being) on a depth chart somewhere.
And you came back for this, Brett?
What a damnfool. 
The PFW returns Thursday for Week 1 of the preseason. 
John-boy McZhamnesty last week poked a little fun at the Manchurian Muslim™:
Well, it seems that Paris’ Pithy Pissant Parent™ (Female (we think) Half) is a pi…uh, bit…peeved at McRINO:
On Sunday, Hilton’s mother, Kathy Hilton, a McCain donor, registered her disapproval.
“It is a complete waste of the country’s time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs,” Kathy Hilton said in a short article posted on the liberal Huffington Post Web site. “And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States.”
This coming from the half-assed excuse-for-a-mommy of she who has made an effin’ career  (brief though it may be so far) of wasting the country’s time & attention with chronicles of her many & varied exploits – both in the sack and out of it?
Then again, I dare say that this is what double-mindedness gets you, isn’t it?  Kupid Stunt Kathy™ donates to the McLame campaign, then goes whining on Huffington’sToast?
Kathy, sweetie, do you know which end your ass is at?
Are you sure?
McCain on Friday denied that his campaign had taken a negative turn, saying, “We think it’s got a lot of humor in it, we’re having fun and enjoying it.”
Oh, as to the ad, John-boy, we didn’t really see the humor in it – but if it entertains you, I guess that’s what counts, huh?
Kathy Hilton, however, was unpersuaded, calling the ad “a complete waste of the money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign.”
I suppose, Kathy baby, you could write a better one?  Maybe you could get your friends  at Puff-Ho to collaborate.
Fucking bimbo. 
The Mothergoose from Denton™ had a computer go toes-up on her the other day, so that’s where I’ve been most of the afternoon.
However, that hasn’t kept me from making a couple of cosmetic changes to the blog.  Once I got up here, I noticed that the basic purple/teal (light cyan)/black scheme had more shades of purple and teal (light cyan) than I cared for.  Ew.
Think I’ve got it pretty much synchronized now.  Feel free to take a look and provide feedback.
(Not that I’m going to care much about it, you understand.  )
It’s Hall of Fame Weekend™ in the NFL, and they always celebrate this by playing – gasp, ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!! – a real, live football game.
Funny how that happens, hm?
Therefore, the first PFW of the year…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  YEAH, YEAHHHHH?!?!?!?!?
…starts…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  Awwwwwwww!!!!
…launches…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  @)@($@!@$%()@!#)(!@$_(@_####!!!!!!!
LSIK&T:  Do I have  to?
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  Pleeeeeeeeeeeze?
LSIK&T:    Oh, alright.
…kicks off…
MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, T-BONE, K’HADIBAK’H:  COORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! 
(Well, they are  a pretty good crew.  Why not toss ’em a bone once in a while?)
…kicks off with the Hall of Fame Game™ in Canton, Ohio, between the Warshington Deadskins  and the Indianhapless Dolts.
MERLIN:  Dolts???
LSIK&T:  Peyton’s still hurt and won’t play.
MERLIN:  Ah.  Dolts it is, then.
This will be the one-and-probably-only time we see much of Jim Sorgi in a starting role this year – but Marvin Harrison is back and healthy, so it might not make too much of a difference.
This will also be the first time we see former Miami defensive end Jason Taylor in the maroon-and-American cheese, so I’m looking for Washington to have the upper hand defensively.  Skins will probably win without too much trouble – the Indy offense doesn’t do squat when Peyton’s not running it.
As for you guys’ next question – “Spats, if it doesn’t involve one of your teams, why blog about it?” – the answer to that is because it’s football, and real, live football hasn’t been played in a while, so that’s  what makes it perfect.
Neener, neener.
We’re back Monday for the recap.  And I’ll probably have something to say about Brett Favre, too.
If I still care much about that soap opera by then.
And I don’t give much of a flying fuck about it now.
Eh.
(H/T to the Humble DevilDog.)
Damn – wish I could’ve tried something like this with Steffi.
MERLIN:  Or Yolly.
KORRIOTH:  Or Ana.
OZY MCCOOL:  Or…
LSIK&T (interrupting):  No.  Hell, no.  She reads this blog, I’ll have you know.
OZY MCCOOL:  Eeep.
LSIK&T:  She’s been through enough, and you will not pile on, is that clear, Lieutenant???
OZY MCCOOL:  (ulp) Uh, aye, sir.
Sorry, D.  He got carried away a bit.
