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

[SCENE:&#160 the bridge of Pegasus.&#160 The ship is still en route to Nossican territory, but that’s not what’s on the crew’s mind at the moment.&#160 Captain Korrioth is casting a rather imposing shadow over Lt. T-Bone McManx as McManx twists & tweaks various dials across his communications console.]

T-BONE MCMANX:&#160 I’m sorry, Captain.&#160 I’ve tried everything I know, but we simply don’t have enough power to make it through the interference.&#160 Not from this far out, anyway.

KORRIOTH:&#160 I understand, Lieutenant.&#160 Keep trying.&#160 Do whatever you need to do to cut through that interference.

[At that moment, the bridge doors part and Lord Darth Venomous strides onto the bridge.&#160 He apparently still has a touch of his migraine headache, for there is a strained look on his face.&#160 The Sith Lord’s right hand, Engineer Emeritus Merlin is with him.]

VENEMOUS:&#160 Report, Captain.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Still unable to raise General Rayegun, Admiral.&#160 Interference from the ion storm ravaging the Southern Command is still too heavy to penetrate; Pegasus&#160 simply doesn’t have the power.

VENEMOUS:&#160 We’ve gotta find a way to increase power, Captain.&#160 (towards the speakers) Bridge to Engineering.&#160 McCool!

OZY MCCOOL (over speakers):&#160 McCool here.&#160 Yes, my liege?

VENEMOUS:&#160 I need more power to the communications systems, Commander.&#160 We need&#160 to reach the General and make sure he’s alright.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Aye, sir.&#160 I’m on it.

VENEMOUS:&#160 Merlin, go down and assist.&#160 Pull from whatever non-essential systems you need, but get me that power.

MERLIN:&#160 Yes, m’lord.&#160 [Merlin hurries out.]

VENEMOUS:&#160 Keep trying to reach the General, McManx.&#160 At regular intervals.

…

Denizens, you might raise up a prayer or two for Supreme General Rayegun.&#160 He’s directly in the path of this.

That’s an order, BTW.

Well, Denizens, it’s happened again.&#160 The will of the people of a town has been usurped in favor of pendejo&#160 jackals who have no business being here by a pair of faggots posing as lawyers and by a Stupid Cunt&#153 half-assed double-assed, tin-horned, black-robed tyrant excuse-for-a judge.

So far, the third time is not the charm for Farmers Branch.

U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle issued a temporary restraining order today barring the city from implementing its latest ordinance aimed at halting property rentals to illegal immigrants.

(The attorneys, if you’re curious, are John-boy Bickel and Widdle Willie Brewer of the limp-wristed law firm Bickel & Brewer. (And yes, John Boy & Billy, that’s my Consitutionally-guaranteed opinion of you, just from looking at those smirks on your little faggot faces – I think you’ve both visited your share of bathhouses in your day))&#160 Pussies who don’t give two flying fucks about the citizens&#160 of this country, but cream their pants at the thought of giving it to illegal aliens.

Mayor Tim O’Hare said he wasn’t surprised at the judge’s decision, though he thought it was wrong.

“I think the will of the people of Farmers Branch is not being carried out,” he said. “I think you’ll ultimately see this matter resolve by the U.S. Supreme Court.

To Hell&#153 with them.&#160 I’d pay real money to see Farmers Branch tell this bitch Janie Boyle (are you any relation to porn star Lisa Boyle, you fucking pene-sucking puta?) what she can go do with herself and do the license requirement anyway.&#160 It’s getting to be about time we told these star-chamber bench-jockeys that we&#160 run our cities & towns, not&#160 them.

By whatever means we may need to tell the bastards.

The Deparment of PotKettleBlackMuch?&#153 (which is ) ( this close to gaining a permanent cabinet seat in the Realm&#153) has once again fingered…

MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, K’HADIBAK’H, T-BONE:&#160 !!!!!!!!

LSIK&T:&#160 …uh, well okay, maybe that’s not quite the terminology we need to use, hm?

…has identified&#160 another assclown suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome.

And this time, it’s (surprise, surprise) America’s Favorite Skank&#153, Pamela Anderson Lee/Rock/Lee/Whomever she’s fucking now.

FIRST Matt Damon, now Pamela Anderson has spoken out against Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin saying:”I can’t stand her. She can suck it!”

That’s right – the same skank that called Jessica Simpson a “whore”.

And who would know that better than thee, eh, Miss Poster Girl For Hepatitis C&#153?&#160 Hmmmmmmmmmmm????

Denizens, we’re going to start this week’s Perfect Football Weekend&#153 by reveling in How The Mighty Have Fallen&#153, Part the 153,624th.

Three years ago, Widdle Vinnie Young was the toast of the country, not to mention most of the state of Texas and all of the TU Shortdicks down in Fraudston Austin, after Pete Carroll and USC basically gift-wrapped that Waterford Crystal&#153 football and handed it to him as a late Christmas present.

(No?&#160 Then tell me, Einstein – how is it that Reggie Bush was on the sidelines next to Genius Petey on 4th-and-2 on USC’s last drive, instead of being split out right, taking a Shortdick defender with him and allowing Lendale White to run over a tiny little cornerback in the resulting hole?&#160 They make that first down, they run out the clock, and TU is once again blubbering in their beer.)

Anyway, fast forward to last week, when – during a 17-10 victory over Jack-town, Widdle Vinnie is (horror of horrors!!!) booed&#160 for daring to (gasp, ARRRRGH!!!) throw a couple of interceptions.

Apparently, he didn’t take it too well, as some early reports indicated:

The mother of Titans quarterback Vince Young said he indicated he doesn’t want to play football and is “hurting inside and out.”

Felicia Young said in Wednesday editions of The Tennessean that her son is tired of all the negativity he’s faced after being booed during a 17-10 win Sunday over Jacksonville.

Oh, boo-hoo-hoo-fucking-hoo.&#160 How dare&#160 paying fans show their displeasure at the slipshoddy play of Felicia’s Baby Boy&#153???

On Monday, Titans coach Jeff Fisher called police to help find him.

“What would you think, if you were tired of being ridiculed and persecuted and talked about and not being treated very well, what would you do? What kind of decision would you make?” Felicia Young said “He may not want to deal with it (all), but you have to get to that point before you make that decision first.

Welcome to Life 101, Felicia and Vinnie.&#160 Not everything goes your way on this mortal coil of ours.&#160 Sometimes you run up against people who are every bit as good – if not better – than you.

When that happens, Vinnie, you have two choices – nut up and get better, or slink away and gaze wistfully at that crystal football, wishing you could put on that orange jersey again.

Now, they’re saying at this point that it was all overblown, that he just “needed [his] space”.

We’ll see how he handles adversity going forward – ’cause take my word for it, unless he learns how to, y’know, actually be&#160 a pro quarterback, he’s in for a lot more of it.

On to the PFW.&#160 My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets take the field tonight against arch-rival R.L. Paschal.&#160 Unlike previous years, however, the hated Panthers actually might be good; they’re 2-0, with victories over a couple of pretty decent teams.&#160 But Heights seems better than in years past, as well, so they should still win.

At least if coach Steve Pate doesn’t want a teaching reassignment to Outermost Elbonia.&#160

Tomorrow, the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs will have to get up a bit early to take on the Stanford Cardinal.

MERLIN:&#160 There’s only one of them?&#160 Against all those Frogs?

LSIK&T:&#160 The mascot name is Cardinal, wizard.&#160 Not every mascot name ends in “s”.

MERLIN:&#160 Lancelot would’ve been a mite peeved had he been the only Knight.

LSIK&T:&#160

Also tomorrow, the Temple Owls will make their bi-annual pilgrimage up to UBuffalo to take on the Bulls.&#160 Turner’s young charges are favored by 6&#189 in this one, so anything up to a four-point loss will count.&#160 The Bulls beat Temple last year, though, so we’ll see.

Third-ranked Oklahoma gets its first real test tomorrow as it travels to Washington to take on the Huskies.&#160 Presumably, refs who don’t call ticky-tacky bullshit like this will work the game, so Washington has a greater-than-zero chance of an upset.&#160 I like OU to break serve, though (a little tennis lingo, there).

New Mexico State provides a true sacrificial lamb for Bo Pelini’s Nebraska Cornhuskers as they’ll travel to Lincoln for an evening game.&#160 The line’s 25&#189 – and trust me, it ain’t gonna be that close.&#160 Think another TCU-SFA type game.

Monday night, ESPN and their anti-C’boy crap announce team of Tirico, Kornheiser and Jaworski will watch the ‘Boys host the Phuckadephia Beagles.&#160 Dallas should win this one, as long as The World’s Greatest Quarterback In The History Of Ever, EVER&#153, aka Donna McCrabbs, doesn’t go whining to the refs that someone breathed on him.&#160 Fat Wilma’s Little Boy&#153 actualy has some receivers this year, but then we have some corners, so I like that matchup.

I do wish, though, that Dallas had kept Quincy Butler on the roster.&#160 Butler, despite his toast reputation, usually never had to break much of a sweat to contain Henrietta Baskett III.

We’re back Tuesday for the recap.&#160 In the meantime, HDD, I see Bucky is actually a road dog vs. Fresno State.&#160 Care to explain?

(The following is a column which appeared on my old web site, www.spatulacitybbs.com, on September 11th, 2001.&#160 It is re-posted now in remembrance of then.

New stuff for today only will be below.)

NOTE: This column contains some coarse language. Back out now if such language offends you, please.

I got four hours of sleep last night. I’m fighting the obligatory yearly case of tonsillitis. My throat hurts like Hell ™, my body is racked with soreness, and – not to put too fine a point thereupon – I’m in need of a tube of Prep H.

You get the idea. (sigh)

So here I am on LBJ Freeway in Dallas, plodding my way through traffic, fighting hard the urge to fall asleep at the wheel, literally. I’m listening to our sports-talk/guy-talk station on AM, the Ticket (KTCK 1310), when the sports jocks there suddenly exclaim something to the effect of, “WTF…?!”. Apparently, a heavy jet has veered off course and slammed into one of the World Trade Center twin towers in New York City.

“Wow,” I’m thinking, “they’ll likely stay with this one all day”, and I immediately turn over to the news/talk station here, WBAP 820, for all the coverage. Yes, I admit it – I’m fascinated by carnage.

At that point, though, I’m thinking tragic accident. Somebody’s plane lost its hydraulics and careened out of control, and the World Trade Center, unfortunately, was simply in the way.

That was 7:50. At 8:09, my worldview – and that of 280 million Americans, I would bet – changed radically.

At that point, a second jet slammed headfirst into the other tower. At that point, it’s not just a major tragedy. This looks just a weeeee bit too organized to be a coincidence.

It’s 8:20 when I get to the office, and I meet my buddy and old Wingtip Courier dispatcher as he’s driving up. He hasn’t been paying attention to anything. We get inside the office, and I bring him and our other compadre up to speed on things (he wasn’t listening to the radio, either, which was surprising). I go into my office and try pulling up a video stream for any of this. It’s 8:25.

Fifteen minutes later, the message is clear: America is under attack for the first time in 60 years. Yet another heavy jet has crashed – this one into the Pentagon. Reports are coming in about multiple hijackings. I’ve read a report about a worldwide alert issued last Friday concerning our resident international terrorist, Osama bin Laden, Two & two are quickly starting to come together.

(Side note: Don’t let them tell you they had no warning. I’m not kidding about that worldwide alert concerning bin Laden. They knew. Damned right they knew.)

I can’t pull up anything on the ‘Net – and I have a T1 at work. The radio offers some details, but I want to know more. I run across the street to the CompUSSR to scope out the TV images.

And ohmigod – what TV images. I saw the second plane come in behind the first tower, and a plume of fire and deep black smoke explode out the other side. I saw the collapsed side of the Pentagon. I saw both WTC towers collapse – I had to ask someone if they’d collapsed all the way, so incredulous was the scene there. (A third building nearby would collapse six hours later.) I heard reports of yet another plane crash – this one near Pittsburgh. Rumor has it that the plane was headed to Camp David – we’re somewhere around the anniversary of the Camp David accords, so I hear.

Returned to work around 11:00 in a state of near-shock. Twenty minutes later, I received the go-ahead to go home. After a quick stop-off at the school to check on my wife, I arrived home and turned on the TV to Fox.

The images there were even more unbelievable than before. Fox had the direct angle on the second tower hit. They also had better angles on the collapse of both towers – although by that time, there was so much smoke & dust that one could hardly make anything out.

After a quick lunch, I sit down here to gather news stories, and I find this.

That’s right, sports fans. Here are a group of Palestinian squids laughing, dancing and cheering the attack on us, whom they call “the Great Satan”.

Compassionate people, those Palestinians.

Okay, now that I’ve bored you with my day, here’s my analysis: CNN early on was doing everything it could to avoid calling it a terrorist attack. But, Spatulaites & Spatulaettes, it’s too coordinated, too organized to be anything but. These events had to be planned months in advance. Certain people had to be installed at just the right junctures in order to pull this off – our airport security procedures, despite the fact that they’re handled by part-timers making minimum wage, are still way too strict. People who knew how to fly those planes had to arrange for passage on these planes. This would have been a major undertaking for simply one airliner – for four to have been hijacked in this manner and turned into suicide machines screams for the fact that this is more than just a Chinese fire drill.

So. Who’s got the capability to pull it off? Who has the money to train these thugs, place them right where they needed to be placed, and then turned loose? And who among them hates us enough to target us? Not to mention, who’s stupid-assed enough to try it?

If you haven’t figured it out by now, go back to school and take a comprehensive reading course. You think about it, there’s really only one man who qualifies: Osama bin Laden.

There can be no question. The mastermind behind the 1993 bombing at the aforementioned World Trade Center is so consumed with hatred for the United States that it sticks in his craw that he failed to bring us down eight years ago. So he decided to try and finish the job, gambling that we’ll be too chicken-shit to do anything about it.

(Second side note: Yeah, the Palestinians and the Taliban in Afghanistan are denying responsibility. Don’t believe the bastards. This is their baby.)

This is where George W. Bush needs to prove him wrong. Take this one to the bank, my friends: The Bush presidency – whether he believes it or not, whether he likes it or not – rides on how he handles this.

America is screaming for justice. More to the point, America is screaming for revenge. This is nothing short of an act of war. Yes, war. There’s been a formally undeclared one on us now, by most of the non-Israeli countries of the Middle East, for several years now. The Muslims hate our guts. The Syrians, the Iraqis, the Iranians – we’re their enemy. “Death To America” has been cruising at #1 on the Middle Eastern Top 40 for several years. They’re getting bolder, too – because they think we’re too cowardly to fight back. They think we’ve forgotten how to fight.

If George Bush has any balls, now’s the time to prove them wrong.

This is your solution, like it or not: Any country harboring terrorists – that would include Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, et. al. – must be wiped from the face of the earth.

Scramble 30 bombers. Five warheads each – six if the plane will hold it. Bomb the shit out of these countries – get rid of these raghead bastards.

So what if you take innocents out, too? This is war, people. They don’t care about killing our innocents; why should we give a shit about theirs??

And that goes for the Palestinians, too. Let’s do Israel a favor and eliminate those sons-of-bitches from the annals of history, as well. They want to laugh and make merry at our misfortune, they need to pay the ultimate price.

Show the world some balls, George W. Teach them that there’s a price for fucking with America. Demonstrate to them that we have not forgotten how to fight!

Item:&#160 Yesterday, the wife of Danni-boy Fowler – yes, that&#160 Danni-boy Fowler – attempted her own little customized smear on the Sarah-cuda:

South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate “whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

So late last night, the Demoscum bimboid was pretty much forced to apologize:

“I personally admire and respect the difficult choices that women make everyday, and I apologize to anyone who finds my comment offensive,” Fowler said in a statement.

“I clumsily was making a point about people in South Carolina who may vote based on a single issue. Whether it’s the environment, the economy, the war or a woman’s right to choose, there are people who will cast their vote based on a single issue,” she continued. “That was the only point I was attempting to make.”

Ah yes.&#160 Trying to make a point.&#160 Sorta like the Obumbler tried to do against Sarah:

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” he said to an outburst of laughter and applause from his audience in Lebanon, Va., Tuesday.

And when you have to go on Letterman to explain yourself – face it, Flopears McHopenchange, you got your ass handed to you.

Again.

So what is it about South Carolinians named Fowler, hm?&#160 Is there something in the water mint juleps or what?&#160

So how desperate is&#160 B. HUSSEIN!!!&#160 Obambi RightAboutNow&#153???

Well, remember at the Republican National Convention, Rudy Giuliani quipped that, given the Manchurian Muslim&#153’s penchant for reneging on promises, that Joseph L. Biden, Senior Senator From Delaware, Chairman Of The Senate Foreign Intelligence Committee And The Ultimate Washington Insider&#153…

&#160 Damn, I need to make that a macro or sum’pin’…

…had better “get it in writing”?

Now we see where He Whom Malkin Calls The “Gaffe Machine”&#153, has, in her words, “question[ed] Obama’s judgement”:

Joe Biden said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton “might have been a better pick than me” to be Barack Obama’s running mate.

The Delaware senator was responding to an audience member at a town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., who criticized Clinton and said it’s a good thing Obama chose Biden over her.

“Make no mistake about this, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Lets get that straight,” Biden said in Clinton’s defense.

“She’s easily qualified to be vice president … and quite frankly, might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate. I mean that sincerely. She is first rate. So let’s get that straight,” he said.

I’m not sure I’m into conspiracy theories, okay?&#160 But I find it extremely&#160 curious that, a few days after it was revealed that Sarah is trouncing Biden, suddenly it looks as if JLBSSFDCOTSFICATUWI&#153 is, shall we say, greasing the skids for his imminent departure.

Could we be seeing a scenario whereby…well, let’s let the folks at Hot Air pontificate thereupon:

If Palin aces the Charlie Gibson interview and McCain bounces out to, say, an eight-point lead, does Obama decide that Biden needs to spend more time with his family, swap in Her Majesty, and launch the gender politics clusterfark to end all clusterfarks? It’d have to be done before the VP debate on October 2; they wouldn’t want to miss the chance to draw the contrast with Palin and cement the substitution in the public’s mind by not having her in place already for an event as high profile as that. Even more serious question: If Obama’s imploding, why would Hillary agree to come aboard?

Why, indeed?&#160 Especially&#160 after the Magic Negro&#153 didn’t even take the bother to vet her for the veep slot in the first place.&#160 (Something of which we might need to remind the PUMAs on a daily basis, don’tcha know?)

At any rate, it seems that Biden was spot-on about the Obumbler’s abject unfitness for the job, as I alluded to here:

In fact, Senator Biden even questions Senator Obama’s fitness for the presidency – and I quote:

“If the Democrats think we’re going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we’re making a tragic mistake…” (Sen. Joe Biden, “The Diane Rehm Show,” 8/2/07)

(Been a long time since I said this, Denizens, but What’d I Tell You???&#153)

I told one of my friends some time back that Obambi didn’t really have any choice but to select Senator Hair-Butt-Plugs as his running mate.&#160 Now, he may not have any choice but to dump him.

It’s a great time to be a conservative, hm?&#160

Found this on Malkin’s blog, courtesy of regular commenter PKAmmoTroop.&#160 ‘Tis a hoot.

To: All Obamatrons
From: Howard Dean
Subject: He did it again.


Ok gang, need to circle the wagons yet again. I know you’re tired, but he did it good this time. I know, I know, I know. We’ve talked to him about this but he thinks no one is smart enough to catch him when he pulls stunts like this. Remember the time he flipped the bird to Hillary and it ended up costing us $40 million to cover her debits to shut her the hell up? This one could be worse.

Get on the conservative boards and OBFUSCATE OBFUSCATE OBFUSCATE!!! Paint McCain with a brush to look like Bush! Accuse him of hating blacks or something. Don’t worry about the truth, that’s above your pay grade. Just as long as they don’t start comparing Obama with Jimmy Carter, if that happens we’re all screwed.

Don’t worry, NBC will be coming up with an in depth report proving that Sasquatch is Trig’s real father and Chris Matthews will be beating up Piper Palin in a live interview. He plans to accuse her of smearing napalm on Trig’s head during the convention. After that, Katie Couric will be inventing a judging scandal in the Miss Alaska pageant so that should take some heat off you folks for a while.

Keep up the good work, if we steer clear of reality we’ll pull this off yet

Your Master.

(H/T to the SpatulaGoddess.)

Those of you at Stephen F. Austin University who thought that TCU was running up the score on you Saturday night…

(SIDE NOTE:&#160 I do, however, think it was rather classless of the TCU student section to do “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye” towards the end of the game.&#160 I’m with you guys there.)

Awright, where was I…?&#160 Ah, yes…

…or even you of the Shitland Pony persuasion over there at SMUT who still get steamed over 95-21 at the hands of UHouston…

Consider the plight of the Bulgarian women’s hockey team, who not only got soundly whipped by Slovakia’s women, 82-0…they got out-shot, 139-0.

Go read it yourself if you don’t believe me.

“We took it as training,” Slovakia coach Miroslav Karafiat said after Saturday’s game.

Someone over here hire that guy as a coach.&#160 He’s one hell of an eternal optimist.

Bulgaria trailed 7-0 after 5 minutes, 19-0 after 10 and 31-0 at the end of the first period.

The drubbing capped a woeful showing for the Bulgarian women, who also lost 30-1 to Croatia and 41-0 to Italy in earlier games.

[…]

Bulgaria was eliminated after scoring one goal and giving up conceding 192 in the tournament.

Damn.&#160 Just, damn.

(H/T:&#160 Little Green Footballs.)

One ot the memes coming out of the asses mouths of the Donktards the last few days has been a half-assed attempt to get us back for John-boy F’n Qetchup-ass and his $87 billion “for the war funding before he was against it” folly.&#160 Specifically, how Sarah Palin was supposedly for the so-called “Bridge to Nowhere” in Alaska before the price of it got jacked up and she ultimately voted against it.

Now we find out that both B. HUSSEIN!!! Obambi and&#160 Senior Senator From Delaware Joseph L. Biden, Chairman Of The Senate Foreign Relations Committee And The Ultimate Washington Insider&#153…

…sorry, gotta catch my breath there for a second…&#160

…both voted for&#160 the “Bridge to Nowhere”…before they decided to vote for it again.

Uh…whoops.

One more issue off the table for the Donks.&#160

UPDATE:&#160 Might have been mistaken about that part about the bridge increasing in cost to $400M.

According to Wiki (and yes, I’m always dubious about using Wiki for a source),

The bridge was projected to cost $398 million

Wiki states that Governor Palin’s communications director says she changed her mind

when “she saw that Alaska was being perceived as taking from the country and not giving …”

Which I’m inclined to believe, given what I know about her to this point.

Thus, I stand corrected (hat tip to Supreme General Rayegun).&#160 Minorly.

I’ve been extremely remiss in not mentioning this.

Denizen, Spatulaite and Original Cast&#153 member Random Numbers had a scare recently when a tumor showed up on his beloved during an exam.

We can, however, report good news tonight:&#160 The tumor was benign.

Congratulations, my old friend, and long life to you & Mrs. Numbers.

Michelle Malkin (along with Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc.) has alerted us to a legion of 30 or so Demoscummic Nazi shock troops who have landed in Alaska looking for dirt on Sarah Palin:

The main area of interest to the Democratic SWAT team is Mrs. Palin’s dismissal in July of her public safety commissioner. Mrs. Palin says he was fired for cause. Her critics claim he was fired because he wouldn’t bend to pressure to get rid of a state trooper, Mike Wooten,

So what kind of state trooper was Mike Wooten, we ask?

who had been involved in a bitter divorce battle with Mrs. Palin’s sister.

Now, granted – that has the potential to be an eyebrow-raiser.&#160 Until you read a little further and see what a pussy this douchebag really is:

Mr. Wooten is certainly a colorful character. He served a five-day suspension after the Palin family filed a complaint against him alleging he had threatened Mrs. Palin’s father. They also accused him of using a Taser on his 10-year-old stepson, drinking in his patrol car and illegally shooting a moose.

And the public safety commissioner was trying to protect the asswipe.

Yeah, I’d say that constituted “cause”.

Anyway, here’s hoping that the people of Alaska welcome the Donktard waaaaahmbulance-chasers with open arms.&#160 Such as 12-gauges, 30.06s, .45s, .380s, 9mms…

Seriously, though, do the Demoscum not realize what they’re doing here?&#160 They’ve been in attack mode ever since McCain announced the Sarah-cuda as his running mate, throwing outright lies after rumors after innuendos against the wall, hoping something would stick, and all it’s gotten them is a McCain lead which in some polls is as high as 12 points.

And now they’re going to do basically more of the same?&#160 I mean, when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you’re supposed to do is stop digging, isn’t it?

Now don’t get me wrong – the Donktards are imploding, and I’m loving it.&#160 I’m just amazed at how quickly it’s happening, is all.

(Insert usual disclaimer about how I don’t trust polls here.)

According to the Demoscum (and I wish I could find the link for it, but I’m a tad busy at the moment), white women (who, presumably, were supporting the Duchess Hilarious) were, under no circumstances whatsoever, going to support the McCain ticket simply because of the selection of the vice-presidential running mate.&#160 “No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin” is how I believe the Duchess herself put it.

Oh, really???

Now Drudge has posted a story on how the independents are supposedly flocking to McCain.

But I guess, as Obambi chief sycophant Widdle Davie Poofy said:

Asked about the findings during a briefing on Monday before the poll was published, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told a Washington Post reporter, “Well, your poll is wrong.”

In a world where mood can be raised or lowered by a good promo, we lost one of the best last week.&#160 Don LaFontaine passed away last week of a collapsed lung.&#160 He was 68.

LaFontaine, who was born in Duluth, Minnesota, began as a voice actor in the mid-1960s while working as a recording engineer, according to his Web site. His strong, slightly gravelly voice was featured on trailers for thousands of films, including “The Godfather,” “Fatal Attraction” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” For a time in the late ’70s, LaFontaine was the official voice of Paramount Pictures.

His favorite work was one he did for the 1980 film “The Elephant Man,” he said in interviews, but whether the film was Oscar-caliber or a bomb waiting to blow, he handled every assignment equally.

“My philosophy is that you have to really believe what you’re reading, even if you think the film’s a piece of junk,” he told Swindle&#160 magazine. “Even the worst picture is someone’s favorite film, and that someone is the fan I am always talking to.

In a world where good talent was appreciated, Don LaFontaine will be sorely missed.

Item:&#160 Senator Hair-Butt-Plugs told “Meet the Depressed” on Sunday that he thinks life begins at conception:

Senator Joseph Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee for vice president, departed from party doctrine on abortion rights, declaring that as a Catholic, he believes life begins at conception.

[…]

While he said he did not often talk about his faith, he said of those who disagree with him: “They believe in their faith, and they believe in human life, and they have differing views as to when life – I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception.”

How very nice.&#160 We seem to have added another to our ever-increasing number of pro-life advocates.

Except for one, very minor, even trivial, detail:&#160 Either it’s a deathbed conversion or the son-of-a-bitch is lying through his teeth.

Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, Sen. Barack Obama’s choice for his vice presidential running mate, is a Roman Catholic with a long record of supporting pro-abortion causes and legislation.

Biden did repeatedly support enactment of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban, but when the ban came up for a Senate vote in 1999 he voted for an amendment by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) that said the Supreme Court had acted correctly in its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that declared abortion a constitutional right.

Biden has never wavered in defending Roe.

At a Democratic presidential primary debate in Las Vegas last November, he said that if he were elected president he would impose a pro-Roe test on anyone he appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I would not appoint anyone who did not understand that Section 5 of the 14th Amendment and the Liberty Clause of the 14th Amendment provided a right to privacy,” Biden said. “That’s the question I’d ask them. If that is answered correctly, that that is the case, then it answers the question, which means they would support Roe v. Wade.”

Bullshit.&#160 One hundred percent pure, natural, unvarnished, unadulterated, non-biodegradeable bullshit.

Joseph L. Biden’s pro-life epiphany is about as authentic as that Obambi three-dollar bill down there on the sidebar.&#160 It is nothing but crap, crap, crap.

And you can quote me.
