In what absolutely must  be regarded as simply earth-shattering  news – which is to say, no big surprise since this came to light – Louise Ciccone-Penn-Ritchie-Did I Leave Anyone Out? and her second-latest boy-toy are splitsville.
In other news, the sun rose in the east, water was found to still be wet, and Demoscum were still found to be cowardly little pussies.
Film at 11. 
So just how desperate are  the Demoscum to steal this election?
Would you believe they’re turning to Mickey Mouse to help ’em out?
Mickey Mouse is as American as apple pie, and he has starred in films, TV shows and video games. But apparently he can’t vote.
Florida elections officials rejected Mickey’s application this summer. It is unclear whether Mickey tried to register as a Democrat or a Republican. But the application included a stamped logo of ACORN, the community organizing group that is facing accusations of voter registration fraud.
C’mon, Foxnews.  The thing is a bogus app with an ACORN stamp on it?  What do you  guys think?
ACORN — which has a history of voter fraud allegations — acknowledged its logo was on the application but said its workers routinely scan all suspicious applications.
“We don’t think this card came through our system,” Brian Kettenring, ACORN’s head organizer in Florida, told the St. Petersburg Times.
“We did it before we didn’t do it.”
Pull the other one, Kettenring, you dumbass. 
Item:  Two years ago, Flori-duh congresscritter Mark Foley was forced to resign in the wake of a sex scandal where he was caught sending explicit messages to House pages.  And the Lame Stream Mediots™ were all over it like white on rice.  (Yeah, Obambi-goons, I said “white on rice”.  Deal with it.)  You couldn’t take three breaths without some talking head/partisan hack whining incessantly, ad infinitum, ad nauseam, about Mark Foley and so-called “Republican hypocrisy”.
Item:  His replacement, a Demoscum by the name of Timmy-boy Mahoney, is paying his mistress $121 large (that’s $121,000 for you pussies at the Church of the SubTarded) to shut her up.  And where are the Lame Stream Mediots™???
CRICKETS:  (chirp, chirp, chirrrrrp!!!)
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Better get some more rope ‘n trees…
Yet another reason to homeschool your kids:
In the same week that the No on 8 campaign launched an ad that labeled as “lies” claims that same-sex marriage would be taught in schools to young children, a first grade class took a school-sponsored trip to a gay wedding. Eighteen first graders traveled to San Francisco City Hall Friday for the wedding of their teacher and her lesbian partner, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Somehow, I doubt this falls under the category of “readin’ ritin’ and rithmetic”.
The school sponsored the trip for the students, ages 5 and 6, taking them away from their studies for the same-sex wedding. According to the Yes on 8 campaign, the public school field trip demonstrates that the California Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage has real consequences.
Were the parents notified of this little excursion?  Did the young-skulls-full-o’-mush (a little Rush lingo, there) bring forms home for the parents to sign and return?  Or was the heterophobe community’s morality forced on these kiddies – and, by extension, the parents as well?
(See, faggots?  We can co-opt words & phrases, too.  How’s it feel having your own tactics turned on you, hm?)
Oh, and look who offciated this travesty:
The lesbian teacher’s wedding was officiated by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Newsom is featured in a Yes on 8 television ad, released last week, in which he arrogantly declares of same-sex marriage: “The door’s wide open now. It’s gonna happen, whether you like it or not.”
And I’m gonna repeat what I  said when he uttered this fascist tripe:
That so, you dickless little faggot-humping pussy? Why don’t you bring your little Limp-wristed Lame-assed Lambda Lickspittles™ to Texas and we’ll see about that, hm??? Let’s see how much of your personal little Bathhouse Blade Brigade™ is left after you’ve tried to force this bullshit on us, eh, Newsom, you son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch?
C’mon, Gavi baby. Let’s see those papier-machés of yours, chickenshit!!!
Ropes.  Trees.  Fascist faggots.  A “ventilation tool” for afterwards.
You guys know the drill. 
(Hat tip LC Purple Raider.)
Getting a little brazen, aren’t they?
I mean, here’s B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi coming right out and admitting that he’s a Socialist Communist, saying that he wants to “spread the wealth around”:
Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to “spread the wealth around” — a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a “socialist” at the Republican’s rallies.
Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”
“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
“From each according to their ability, to each according to their need”.
Pretty well sums it up, doesn’t it?
Tell me, Jugears, just whose  wealth were you planning on spreading around, hmmmm?  Inquiring minds ‘n all, y’know.
Obama says he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.
Bullshit.  Kaiser Wilhelm von Slickmeister once told us he was going to give us all a “middle-class tax cut”.
I’m still waiting for mine.
Smarmy little pisspot Obambi. 
Recently, the Dullest Moaning Snooze, the flagship paper of the rapidly-setting (if their subscription & ad-revenue numbers are any indication) Belo empire, decided to chop comic-strip stars like BC, Cathy, Drabble, Hagar the Horrible, Marmaduke, Pirahna Club, Over The Hedge, Red & Rover  and Wizard Of ID  out of their birdcage liner newspaper, while graciously  giving their dwindling reader base a choice as to which one single comic  to resurrect.
This while they cling tightly to liberal asshole comics Non-Sequitur  and Doonesbury  (libtard Wiley Miller and craven Canork coward Garry Trudeau, both of whom have no problem exposing children to their rabid hatred of Republicans) as if they were conservatives and the two strips were their guns & Bibles.
And then they wonder why their readership is declining and they’ve had to jack up ad rates and newspaper prices just to try and keep up.
Such is life in the rapidly-growing irrelavance of the Belo Empire.
Progressive Liberal Socialist Democrat Communist Party hack Paula Krugman has won the Nobel Prize for Economics.
And what are his street creds for such a prestigious  award?
Krugman has been a harsh critic of the Bush administration and the Republican Party in The New York Times, where he writes a regular column and has a blog called “Conscience of a Liberal.”
He has come out forcefully against John McCain during the economic meltdown, saying the Republican candidate is “more frightening now than he was a few weeks ago” and earlier that the GOP has become “the party of stupid.”
So basically, he’s a Communist pussy who’s co-opted Emperor Misha’s term for a Republican Party that’s been co-opted by RINOs.
Proving conclusively that the folks over at Nobel have the heads perpetually up their asses, and that their “prize” isn’t worth its weight in cowshit.
Because that’s essentially what it, and they, are:  Cowshit.
I’m gonna keep asking this until I get a fucking answer:  WHY IS BRUCE READ STILL HERE?!?!?!
Arlington Heights 49, North Side 7
Texas Christian 13, at Colorado State 7
at UBuffalo 28, W. Michigan 34 (OT) (Buffalo covers)
Nebraska 24, at Texas Tech 31 (OT)
Oklahoma 35, T-sip Shortdicks 45
Dallas 24, at Arizona 30 (OT)
For North Side’s 100th year of football, they did their helmets up like TU’s Shortdicks did for DKRoyal in their  100th year.
Unfortunately, these  Steers don’t play like those  Steers.
[QB Mark] Grace was nearly perfect in the air, completing 8 of 9 passes for 196 yards, including touchdowns of 34, 80 and 21 yards.
Grace also scored Heights’ first touchdown with a 1-yard run in the first quarter.
Anthony Davenport led Heights with 132 yards on the ground, including touchdowns of 24 and 13 yards.
…
Colorado State shoved the ball down TCU’s throat on their first drive.
After its only airplane trip in a two-month span, the Horned Frogs looked like they had jet lag on CSU’s opening drive, a nine-play, 78-yard march that included 45 yards on the ground, highlighted by Gartrell Johnson’s 4-yard rumble into the end zone.
Save for a couple drives in the second half led by the Rams’ backup quarterback, the Frog defense spent the rest of the game shoving the ball right back down CSU’s throat.
But the Rams managed just 15 yards rushing on their four subsequent first-half drives and the Horned Frogs took a 13-7 lead into the locker room after CSU’s Kory Sperry and Rashaun Greer dropped long touchdown passes from quarterback Billy Farris.
The Rams went to backup quarterback Klay Kubiak in the third quarter but they couldn’t get close to the end zone in a seven second-half possessions.
Marcus Jackson started for Andy Dalton (knee) again, and spent the entire game showing why he’s the backup quarterback.  He was was 16-26-166 and ran for 54 yards, but also dropped four snaps from center Blake Schueter.
Hurry back, Andy.
…
UBuffalo needs to be doing it with offense.  Their defense sucks.
Western Michigan (6-1, 4-0 Mid-American Conference) scored 22 points in the fourth quarter and sent the game into overtime when Hiller found Jamarko Simmons in the end zone with 5 seconds left to play. Hiller completed 42-of-63 passes and threw 345 yards and four touchdowns.
…
You gotta look on the bright side when it comes to Nebraska.  After the debacle against Mizzou last week, they held the vaunted TTech offense to 24 points in regulation in their backyard.  Bo Pelini is beginning to rebuild the Blackshirts™.
That said – Bo, Joey Ganz is not your future at quarterback.  If you have a freshman or sophomore in your collection, he needs to play now.  You’re not going anywhere this year, but then you’re not expected to.  Get the Huskers accustomed to your way of doing things and let them grow with a young QB.
And they will  grow.  This scribe has faith in you.
…
Memo to Bob Stoopes:  Just as I told Gary Patterson that his team needs to get bigger up front – your defense needs to get faster.  Speed is killing you, and speed is going to continue to kill you until you get that addressed.
Here’s a hint:  Ask yourself how your brother would have done it.  Since he left for Arizona, your program, though still a superior one, has taken a step back.  You cannot say with confidence that yours is one of the elite programs in the country, not now.  But you can fix it, and I have faith in you, as well.
That $aid, the better collection of player$ won thi$ game today, and that’$ all I’m going to $ay about that.
…
The first play of the game was a special-teams clusterfuck that led directly to an Arizona score.  The last  play of the game was a special-teams clusterfuck that led directly to an Arizona score.  Not to mention, that last clusterfuck may have cost the C’boys their punter (McBriar suffered a foot contusion when he was hit by a rush up the middle).
Why is Bruce Read still here?
In between those two plays, Tony Romo spent the game doing his very best impression of Drew Bledsoe.  Once again, he didn’t run out of trouble when his protection broke down, and once again he lost a fumble when he got sacked.  He ended his streak of games with an interception, but only because Arizona dropped a couple of sure pick-sixes.  He’s now basically playing like the backup quarterback he was his first few years in the league.  He’s essentially turned himself into Drew Bledsoe reincarnated – how’d that  work out for us, hm?
But what turned this game around was a play in the third quarter.  On 3rd & 17, with the Cards deep in their own territory, Kurt Warner throws a screen pass to rookie running back Timmy-boy Hightower, and the Cowgirls play matador defense until Hightower covers the 17 yards for the first down.
Third.  And.  Fucking.  Seven.  Teen.
From that point forward, the ‘Girls could flat-out not stop Arizona no matter what they tried; it was pitch-and-catch between Warner and his receivers the rest of the day.  (And if you can’t stop a 3rd-and-17, maybe you don’t  deserve to win.
The Cowboys have played piss-poor football now for the last three weeks.  And it’s not even December yet, when you expect  this motley crew to tank.
That’s coaching.  That’s Camp-fuckin’-Cupcake for you.  In fact, that’s Coach-fuckin’-Cupcake and his la-de-da approach to coaching a game.  No fire in the belly on the sideline – no fire in the belly of this team.
And if this POS play continues, we won’t be talking about whether the Pilsbury Doughboy can finally get his first win, ’cause they won’t even make  the damned playoffs.  And Jerry will show Bum Jr. the door.
What a dilemma.  Make the playoffs, or tank & get the Doughboy fired?  Decisions, decisions.
This week:  3-3.  This week:  29-9.
The PFW will return Thursday, when I declare a Guaranteed Loss  Night™.
Denizens, not sure how much time I’m gonna have today, so thankfully the Mothergoose from Denton™ has provided something good out of the Grab-Bag™.
Enjoy.
Reasons to Carry a Gun Today
My old grandpa said to me son, ‘there comes a time in every mans life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin’.
I don’t carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don’t carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police Protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime,
they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin’.
“Be who you are and say what you feel. Because those that matter don’t mind. And those that mind…don’t matter.”
Denizens, when the “finding” of the kangaroo court “bipartisan commission” which supposedly exposes Sarah Palin for being a Nazi-sympathizing, conspiring-with-Communists, psychotic socialist, maniacal, tyrannical, JACKBOOTED, CHILD-ABUSING, BOOK-BURNING, BIBLE-THUMPING MAFIOSA PUPPY BLENDER WITH DELUSIONS OF GHOD-HOOD OH MY GAWD THE HUMANITY!!!1!ONE!!ELEVENTY!1~
…well, I figured there might be something a bit amiss.
But go read Ace, and then go read Misha’s rejoinder, plus the comments.
Particularly pay attention to LC Muscle Daddy, who noted (below the fold):
Okay – here’s the problem… (please bear with me)
Let’s start with our reference material, being the report & findings in question.
While I’m as happy as anyone else with the “within her rights to fire the insubordinate ass-bag” – part, there is, unfortunately, another part…
In the linked doc, go to page 8 to see “Finding 1” – this is where the “abuse of power’ part comes from.
Apparently, Alaskan statutes maintain that “…each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.”
It also defines “benefit” as “anything that is to a person’s advantage or self-interest, regardless of financial gain”. (pg 49)
It further identifies “personal interest” to include “immediate family members” which, in turn, includes “siblings” (pg 50).
Finally, “Official Action” is defined as “…advice, participation, or assistance, including… a recommendation, decision, approval, disapproval, vote, or other similar action, including inaction, by a public officer.” (pg. 50)
=======================================
Okay – so basically it boils down to this:
When Sarah & Todd kept asking where the investigation was going, RE: her sister’s complaints about the kid tasering, moose poaching, drunk driving, criminality-bragging state-trooper-ex-husband…
… and repeatedly asked why such an embarrassing asshat was allowed to continue to represent the agency and the state of Alaska….
…that was a breach of ethics – as those inquiries were “official actions” committed for the “benefit” of her “sibling”.
Todd’s inquiries apparently count against Sarah as well, since she didn’t stop him from making them, bringing us back to the “inaction” part noted above.
That is the purported “Abuse of Power”.
==========================But wait…. what’s this?…
Waaaayy down on page 79 – under the heading “The Second Recommendation”…
“The legislature should consider amending AS 39.25.080 to permit those who file complaints against peace officers to receive some feedback about the status and outcome of their complaint”
Hmmm….
So… this all got started because the AK state police had apparently ‘circular filed’ all of the sister’s complaints – and there was no legislative requirement to give the complaintant any information – so Sarah and Todd had to try to run it down for themselves…
…just to keep the department from doing whatever-the-hell-they-wanted?
(page 58 references an account of Wooten[asshat] having been slapped with a Restraining Order for harrassing and intimidating his ex-wife….which was lifted, when his supervisors intervened – looks like whatever-the-hell-they-want was the order of the day…)Well – there we are.
Myself? If pursuing a do-nothing police agency over a do-nothing investigation of an asshat-scumbag-embarrassment of an officer is “Ethically Wrong”…
I don’t wanna be right (and like her better knowing she feels the same way)
Like the man says:
thatisall.
Indeed, as the real  Puppy Blender™ would say.
(Hat tip HDD, with thanks.)
On Sundays, Denizens, as you all well know, I love to watch football.  And since the C’boys are an NFC team, that usually – not always, but usually – means that I’m watching them on Fox.
Of course, after the game, I’m usually pretty quick to turn the channel over to NBC to watch Madden & Michaels, even if I do  have to put up a bit with Keith Olberdouche.
But even if that weren’t the case, I’m always loathe to keep the channel on Fox after football, simply because their animated lineup sucks blue balls.  I’ve never seen the point of The Simpsons  (except for their couch scene during opening credits, which changes from week to week and is occasionally pretty funny); King of the Hill  is an animated version of Everybody Loves Raymond  with regards to their humor quotient (which is to say, it doesn’t have a whole lot thereof), and American Dad  is a parody which I, quite honestly, find offensive.
Then there’s Family Guy.
On Oct. 5, Fox’s Sunday night cartoon debuted an episode titled “I Dream of Jesus,” a play on “I Dream of Jeannie.” Get it? Jesus is a fairy tale, like a genie in a bottle. The title character, Peter Griffin, wanders into a record shop, where he finds Jesus Christ minding the store. Jesus lies to Peter, trying to deny who he is, until Peter threatens to urinate on the albums of Christian artist Amy Grant. Jesus comes clear on his identity and explains he came to Earth “just to get away from the family … my dad just quit smoking, and he’s a little on edge.” What follows is an entire story that chronicles, in rather amazing fashion, how this lying, slacker Jesus is even dumber than Peter, the greatest idiot on animated television today.
Our Guardians of Social Taste would probably shut “Family Guy” down if it featured Peter Griffin as a demented Buddha, or maybe featured a drunken Mohammed, or God forbid — made fun of Barack Hussein Obama. But Seth MacFarlane hasn’t crossed the Anti-Defamation League, or the Council for American-Islamic Relations, or Obama’s “Fight the Smears” web page.
The difference, of course, being that Christians don’t fly off into a Murderous Rage™ at bullshit like this.  Widdle Sethie MacFuckwit isn’t in abject danger of losing his head to a squadron of Christian machete wielders – because no such squad exists.  There will be no Christian fatwa  issued on Widdle Sethie McFuckwit, nor any jihad  declared on him or his fellow anti-Christian bigots.
We’ll just say that, all other things being constant going forward, we hope that Sethie has his asbestos undies packed.  He’ll likely need them where he’s going.
Fantasy Footballers (all four of us (wry grin)), I’ve noticed that add/drops done today wouldn’t take effect until next week.
That’s BS, if you ask me. I just fixed it by changing the effective date to this Saturday.
Yer welcome.
The beautiful and talented Princess Malkin has this post up about the Chicken Littles over at the White House and at Treasury, and it’s a damned good one – one I think you should go read.
But what I want to point your attention to is a comment in that thread made by a reader of hers named shooter – which said, in part:
Success is a mind set.
I wonder what would happen if we heard all good and positive outlooks for 2 days. We could recover a bunch in short order.
And it got me to thinking.  (Dangerous, yes, I know.)
Ever since the Dow peaked above 14,000 a year ago – and, in all honesty, long before that – how long has the Lame Stream Mediots™ been singing the siren song of “The SKY is falling, the SKY is falling!!!1!!ONE!!ELEVENTY!!!1” ad infinitum, ad nauseam?
Fact is, they’ve never stopped, have they?
At the risk of invoking Godwin’s Law™ – what was it Goebbels always said?  Repeat a lie often enough, and it’ll become the truth?
More later.
I know, I know….old news, but still the question remains.
Yet it seems that bias isn’t the only thing that the Lame Stinkin’ Media is guilty of. You can add to that willing members of “that one” and his coverup squad.
I’ve always enjoyed World Net Daily. They are one place where the truth isn’t tossed aside like unrecyclable garbage. And they deliver again with this one.
I’ll echo the author on this one….
‘Why would networks deny viewers the facts?’
Yo, Missouri….can I get a quote from ya on this one?
Guys, I’m gonna have to borrow a Glenn Beck line for this one.
Blood is gonna come SHOOTING out of your eyes on this one
This is so farking sick I am having a difficult time trying to figure out what to say to start things. So I’ll just let the guys from WND take care of it. Go here to follow along.
A federal court decision approving mandatory public school instruction for children as young as kindergarten in how to be homosexual is being allowed to stand, drawing a description of “despicable” from the parent who unsuccessfully challenged his school district’s “gay” advocacy agenda.
The U.S. Supreme Court without comment has refused to intervene in a case prompted by the actions of officials at Estabrook Elementary school in Lexington, Mass., who not only were teaching homosexuality to young children, but specifically refused to allow Christian parents to opt their children out of the indoctrination.
I know everyone here doesn’t need reminding about this, but for the sake of these dimwits in academia, maybe a little brushing up on the one, true law needs to be brought forth.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and the entire 18th chapter of Leviticus can pretty much clear up ANY confusion ya’ll are having about this subject.
It’s patently clear that Massachusetts public education is not concerned one damn bit about doing their primary job — EDUCATING, but rather furthering an agenda of social engineering that utterly twists and warps the Judeo-Christian beginnings of this nation. Hell, these folks are not only throwing all that out the window they’re also saying “we’re gonna do whatever the fuck we want with your kids and you parents ain’t got shit for say so about it.”
I’m quite certain that the original Pilgrims who landed there on Mayflower Rock are ready to jump out of their graves and start screaming “Just WHAT THE HELL are you doing?”
All I got left to say is O-M-F-G!
