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

One of Texas Christian University’s first bona fide&#160 legends, “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh, has passed at the age of 94.

Sammy Baugh was the last surviving member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s inaugural class.

After starring at TCU, “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh played with the Redskins from 1937 to 1952.

While he was noted for his passing, Baugh was one of the best all-around players of his day. One season he led the league in passing, defensive interceptions and punting. In one game, he threw four touchdown passes and intercepted four passes. He threw six touchdowns in a game – twice – and kicked an 85-yard punt.

Sammy Baugh was an outstanding punter, quarterback and defensive back for TCU in the mid-1930s.

“There’s nobody any better than Sam Baugh was in pro football,” Don Maynard, a fellow West Texas Hall of Famer who played for Baugh, said in a 2002 interview. “When I see somebody picking the greatest player around, to me, if they didn’t go both ways, they don’t really deserve to be nominated. I always ask, ‘Well, how’d he do on defense? How was his punting?”‘

Godspeed, Sam.&#160 We coulda used a man of your skill & heart against Boise, and beyond.&#160 We’ll miss you down here.

Denizens, remember when Shrubya was first inaugurated?&#160 The streets of DC were lined with limp-wrists, pussies, chickenshits and other assorted leftist bastards protesting Bush’s victory.

(Side note to leftard fucksticks:&#160 It’s been eight years not, and Bush still&#160 has never trailed in Florida.&#160 Suck it, asswads!&#160 )

Remember, too, how the Lame Stream Mediots&#153 were all over it like white on rice?

Fast-forward eight years, and now one of the same extra-chromosome leftard rags that shrieked from the rooftops about how dissent was “patriotic” and “American” and all…won’t even allow so much as a critical paid advertisement&#160 during the inauguration coronation of the Ayatollah Obambi.

“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism,” the Left was found of reminding us again and again during the Bush administration, particularly after the commencement of hostilities in Iraq. So now that Barack Obama is assuming office on January 20, surely patriotic liberal newspapers like the Washington Post will publish paid classified advertisements by conservatives that are critical of the soon-to-be-inaugurated President Obama, right?

Eh, not so much, reports FishbowlDC, noting that the fine print for the Washington Post’s inaugural congratulations classifieds holds that “all ads must be congratulatory in nature” and that the Post “reserves the right to reject any notice.”

Meaning that the “notices” that WaPoop will “reserve the right to reject” will all be the ones critical of Flopears McHopenchange, of course.&#160 Can’t have any negativity&#160 surrounding the MESSIAH!!!.&#160 Wouldn’t be patriotic, y’know.

But I’d love to see their reaction the next time one of their partisan hacks reporters got hauled up short on something and started caterwauling about “free speech”, y’know?&#160

Denizens, your homework assignment is to read this treatise by Limbaugh.

Here’s a sample to whet your appetite:

General Powell says we need to reach out to Hispanic, blacks, and Asians. Well, how do we do that? What kind of message does he suggest? I never hear the “how” to do it. I just hear we need to do it. And in my mind, we already have the blueprint for how to do it. We have done it successfully. We abandoned the blueprint. It’s called individual freedom, liberty, and not seeing them as Hispanics and not seeing them as Asians and not seeing them as blacks or minorities, but rather seeing them as Americans, human beings.

Read it all.

And fuck you, Colin Powell.

Y’know, Denizens, it’s bad enough when we have atheist fools bigots fools & bigots try to take away our&#160 joy during Christmas season.

But now we have the dumbshits can’t even figure out what’s sacred and what’s secular.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was almost grounded at Murrayville Elementary School this week after a parent complained about the classic Christmas song’s inclusion in her daughter’s upcoming kindergarten concert.

The objecting parent was upset about the words “Christmas” and “Santa” in the song, feeling that they carried religious overtones.

Okay, this is freakin’ Rudolph.&#160 The reindeer.&#160 With the effin’ glow-in-the-dark red nose.

Has ZipZeroNadaBupkis&#153 to do with anything religious.

But don’t take my word for it.&#160 Here, have a look at the lyrics:

Lyrics to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history!

Anyone who can show me the slightest connection with the Christ child gets a Spatula City BBS! shirt, courtesy of yours truly.

Morons.&#160

Not quite as easy when you have to play our starting quarterback, is it, jackoffs?

Not as easy when y’all have the injuries this time, is it?

20-8, douchebags.&#160 Suck it!&#160

Asshats.

On this thread on the Rott, I opined that any woman who showed me&#160 a doghouse like that would get this in response:

“You and what army?”

But the Comment Of The Day&#153 in that thread goes to LC gahayz, who submitted this:

Q: “Honey do these slacks make my ass look big?”
A: “No dear, it’s your ass makes them look too small. Why don’t you try buying clothes that fit?

Q: “Honey do these shoes make my feet look big?”
A: “No, your feet are big. Or is there some
other reason you’ve been wearing my sno-boots?”

Q: “Did you forget our Anniversary?”
A: “Damn right. Why would I want to remember the day that ruined my life?”

Q: “Why didn’t you get me anything for Mother’s Day.?”
A “You ain’t my mother.”

Q: “Why did’t you get me anything for my birthday?”
A “Because you’ve been 32 for the last five years.”

Q: “Why don’t you work more overtime?”
A: “I want the time with you.”
AA: “But we need the money.”

6 months later:
Q: “Why are you always at work?”
A: “You said we needed the money.”
AA: “But you’re never here *sob*”.

Q: “Why do you spend so much time at the “Wayside”?
A: “Because you’re here.”

Q: “Why don’t you ever take me fishing?”
A: “Because I go fishing for peace and quiet.”

Q: “Why don’t you love me anymore?”
A: “Because you’ve ruined my life, and I can’t stand the sight of you.”

Q: “Do you want a divorce?”
A: “Yes.”
a few days later
“I’m leaving you”
“Good.”

“I found someone else.”
“Poor bastard. Give him my regards, for saving my life.”

“Jaysus, bitch, ya could’ve left the glass in the door.”

Getting bad when Al-Obambi’s economy starts eating into their own, hm?

Today it was 65 NPR layoffs.&#160 This after the Tribune Company (LA Slimes, Shit-cago Fib-une, Chicago Cubs) filed for Chapter 11 earlier this week and the NY Slimes&#160 desperately sought to stave off the same fate by mortgaging its own building.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer shittier bunch of folks.&#160 Brings a tear to me eyes, it does.&#160

Deathknyte over at the Rott reports that:

obama’s pastor of choice has declared that on December 7th, 1941 the United States dropped a nuclear weapon on Hiroshima killing 80,000 Japanese civilians and a few days later dropped another to kill 64,000 more.

Soon as I get a link, the rip job will commence.

UPDATE:&#160 Can’t find a link that quotes the son-of-a-bitch, but Rush has a transcript (thanks, General).

RUSH: Here’s Jeremiah Wright from the pulpit, triumphant return, Trinity Church in Chicago this past Sunday.

WRIGHT: Today is December 7th, the day that this government killed over 80,000 Japanese civilians at Hiroshima in 1941, two days before killing an additional 64,000 Japanese civilians at Nagasaki by dropping nuclear bombs on innocent people.

Jackassimiah Wrong, you fuckheaded, dumbshit, needle-dicked son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch.

My father served in the military during World War II, you motherfucker.&#160 My father, and the fathers of a helluva lotta Americans – including, you skank-assed piece of shit, some of the members of your own congregation.

Fuck you, asscrust.&#160 And fuck every putrid piece of shit who so much as put hands together once&#160 in applause.

I just hope I get to be there when God judges your smarmy little pisspot racist ass, you fucking bastard.

ESAD, dickweed.

And get it straight, dumb fuck.&#160 We didn’t drop any bombs on December 7th, 1941 – we had them DROPPED ON US,&#160 you stupid-assed, shit-for-brains moron.&#160

If the fact that the banks, Wall Street firms, and now the Big 3 automakers sauntered up to the Congressional handout window begging wasn’t bad enough…now we find out what they were doing BEFORE they ventured to D.C.? This article here will give you a good idea of some of those things.

Key industry actors in the current financial crisis gave $14 million to conventions, CFI reports. The following are some of its findings:

• Freddie Mac gave $500,000, half to each committee.
• Ford Motor Company donated $200,000 for the conventions, half to each host committee (Also, Kirk Kerkorian, Ford’s largest shareholder with ties to GM and Chrysler, gave $3.5 million).
• General Motors provided 735 new cars to the Democratic and Republican Party convention committees for elected officials’ use.
• American International Group, or AIG, gave $1.5 million split evenly between the two committees
• Hedge funds and their managers gave $3.9 million – $2.7 million to Republicans and $1.2 million to Democrats.
• Investment companies including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase, UBS and Lehman Brothers, gave $1.5 million.
• Other financial institutions that have received or are eligible for bailouts, such as Citigroup, U.S. Bancorps, Wells Fargo and Bank of America, donated $2.9 million – much of it was given to the Republican committee.

Yet each and every one of these firms have either requested or have received some of OUR (meaning yours and mine) hard-earned money in the form of bailouts. As we all know, if you or I were to make that sort of transaction and then come begging for money four months later — we’d be told “so sorry, but you f—ed up and now you have to suffer the consequences”.

Don’t you find it interesting that the folks in D.C. just do not get the clue that “bigger” is not “better” when it comes to the size of government. We the people are making it clearer to them that we’re not wanting bigger, but they just smile and nod and then behind our backs right in front of our faces are proceeding to nationalize what little manufacturing capabilities this country HASN’T sold out to the Chinese.

“If the executives who have come to Washington, hat in hand, looked familiar to members of Congress, maybe it’s because they met over the summer at the conventions,” CRP Executive Director Sheila Krumholz said in a statement. “The conventions provided representatives of major corporations and industries with many opportunities to interact with Washington’s decision-makers. Those conversations may have paid off just weeks later, when the government started handing out money to those companies and industries that are struggling.”

No wonder the Big 3 CEOs looked so comfortable on the C-SPAN cameras and not like someone who was called in to the office knowing you’re about to be handed a pink slip. Which is clearly what needs to be happening, instead of being given $10M bonuses or allowed to make use of their so-called “golden parachutes”.

Does it not just PISS you off when the message being sent out by these bailout is “Yo big biz, go ahead fail….we’ll reward you all the same. It’s OUR money anyway…”? Gee what a wonderful message to send to a generation that ALREADY has the entitlement mentality!!!!

Need we ponder any longer on why the US is not mentioned in Revelations? Nope, I don’t think so either.

Dismissed&#153

The Department of “Gee, Why Didn’t I Think Of That?” alerts us to this future Neiman’s catalog item – a female robot.

One wonders what the feminazis at NAG NOW would think about this.&#160

Devoted Aiko — “in her 20s” — has a stunning 32-23-33 figure, pretty face and shiny hair.

She is always happy to clean the house for “husband” Le, help with his accounts or get him a drink.

Computer ace Le, 33, from Ontario, Canada, has spent two years and £14,000 building his dream girl.

Hey, let’s outfit her in a mink coat.&#160 Get PETA pissed off at “her”, too.&#160

Hmmmm.&#160 Today seems to be a peaceful day. Other than the pathetic gnashing of Demoscummic teeth over Blagobitch, we’re not really seeing a bunch of whining today.

Hm.&#160 Maybe this has something to do with it (h/t to the beautiful & talented Michelle):

“We’re a gay couple in West Hollywood, neither of us involved in activism, but we just wanted to help,” said Sean Hetherington, 30, a stand-up comic who was the first openly gay contestant ever to do battle, however briefly, in the Gladiator Arena. “And we were amazed at what happened.”

Mr. Hetherington and his companion were among several people surprised by the strength of positive reaction after starting Web sites geared toward a demonstration planned for Wednesday, “Day Without a Gay.” Its organizers are asking gay rights supporters to avoid going to work by “calling in gay” and volunteering in the movement instead.

Anyone out there being inconvenienced by the “strike” on the part of the Lazy-Assed Limp-Wrists&#153?

CRICKETS:&#160 (chirrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!)

Nah, didn’t think so…

But Malkin reader Send_Me has the line of the day about it, I think:

If folks call in “gay”, then their employers should respond with a pink slip.

The strongman governor of Ill-noise has been arrested and taken into custody:

llinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges alleging that they and others are engaging in ongoing criminal activity: conspiring to obtain personal financial benefits for Blagojevich by leveraging his sole authority to appoint a United States Senator; threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical of Blagojevich; and to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for official actions – both historically and now in a push before a new state ethics law takes effect January 1, 2009.

Or, as they call it in Shit-caca, “business as usual”.

And you damnfools just elected one of The Machine’s&#153 own.&#160 Nice.

Demoscummic dumb-asses.

The Department of Bait And Switch&#153 brings us this alert about the Leftards getting a mite antsy over those with whom the Ayatollah Obambi is surrounding himself for the Al-Obambi excuse-for-a-government.

Liberals are growing increasingly nervous – and some just flat-out angry – that President-elect Barack Obama seems to be stiffing them on Cabinet jobs and policy choices.

Obama has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. He’s hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And he’s stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left.

[…]

“He has confirmed what our suspicions were by surrounding himself with a centrist to right cabinet. But we do hope that before it’s all over we can get at least one authentic progressive appointment,” said Tim Carpenter, national director of the Progressive Democrats of America.

OpenLeft blogger Chris Bowers went so far as to issue this plaintive plea: “Isn’t there ever a point when we can get an actual Democratic administration?”

You don’t suppose…(gasp!)…naw, it couldn’t be…(AIEEE!!!)…please, Maitreya, no…(GASP, ARRRRRRGH!!!!)…NOT THE THIRD BUSH TERM!!!!!!!!

(Insert all the s you can muster with the next 12 hours of oxygen.)

Now, Denizens – this is not to say that we’re about to be pleasantly surprised, okay?&#160 We’re not – this is still a needle-dicked, ball-less wonder of a socialist proon&#160 (gratuitous Star Wars novel alert!) with delusions of mere adequacy.

But to think, even for a second, that the pussies on the Left have gotten the political dildo shoved up their asses again…

…well, it do be to laugh, don’t it?&#160

Hasn’t even started the new job and it seems the Demoscum have all the answers. Al-Obambi says our economy is going to get worse before it gets better (no schiatzu Sherlock), but to ensure it DOES get better the Manchurian Muslim is going to see to it that he extracts $1 trillion from us for a “stimulus” package. Go here for the details.

So how much IS $1 TRILLION exactly? Try this on for size:

Let me give you a handle on how big $1 trillion is. NASA has a budget. You know the people, they send up space planes and the space station and all the satellites and everything else that NASA does? NASA’s budget is $17 billion. The post office’s budget is $34 billion. The Department of Labor is 10, EPA is 7. Treasury, well, this has got to go up. Can you check on this, Joe? It’s only $12 billion, but they’ve got to be spending a lot more on ink and paper right now. Treasury department is $12 billion. Department of Energy is $24 billion. The Department of Transportation is $12 billion. Justice is $20 billion. Agriculture is $20 billion. Department of Interior is $10 billion. Department of Homeland Security is $120 billion. That’s $286 billion for all of those: NASA, post office, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor, EPA, Department of Treasury, Department of Energy, transportation, justice, agriculture, and interior, $286 billion. Obama wants a $1 trillion stimulus package. By the way, if you add in the defense budget, the Department of Defense budget for 2009 is $515 billion. Half a trillion dollars. Add that to all of the other departments I just gave you, that’s $801 billion. You still have $200 billion left before you reach the new Democratic stimulus package of $1 trillion.

Soooooo, given that as of last month the US population was 305,682,072….then that means the Demoncrappers “stimulus” package is going to cost each American roughly $3,271.37. Don’t know about you folks, but even my 401k doesn’t have that in spare change just ready to “give” to the government to get the economy jumpstarted.

Hey Al-Obambi, do us a favor. Get government out of the equation.

Like THAT is really going to happen.

This is what happens when you have a cupcake team led by a cupcake coach.

UBuffalo 42, Ball State 24

#2 Oklahoma 62, #20 Missouri 21

Dallas 13, at Pittsburgh 20

UBuff did it with defense.&#160 That, and maybe a slight assist from the officiating.

The Bulls took Cardinal fumbles to the house on two consecutive drives to break a close game open.&#160 The first of those fumbles possibly shouldn’t have come to pass.

Two plays previous to that fumble, Cardinal back MiQuale Lewis took a pitch from the one around left end and scored.&#160 Trouble was, they spotted the ball at the 3 for a 2-yard loss.&#160 After a false start penalty, Cardinal QB Nate Davis came back around left end, got stood up, then had the ball knocked loose, whereupon Bull cornerback Mike Newton picked up the loose ball at the eight and took it home to give UBuff the lead.

On the next series, the snap got muffed, and the ball squirted back about 10 yards during a rugby-like scrum.&#160 Sherrod Lott picked up the ball and took it back 74 yards for the score.&#160 Ball State would get no closer than 11 the rest of the way.

Drew Willy was 19-28-206 and three touchdowns.&#160 Naaman Roosevelt caught 10 of those passes for 116 yards.&#160 James Starks ran for 82 yards on 19 carries.

…

Memo to all you T-sip Shortdick fans:&#160 To Hell with 39-33 at the hands of TTech.&#160 I’d love to see you pussies play OU now.

The Sooners lost DeMarco Murray on the opening kick to a knee injury, then spent the rest of the game proving that they didn’t necessarily need him.&#160 Bradford & company rolled up 38 points in the first half, led by QB Sam Bradford, TE Jermaine Gresham, WR Enrique Iglesias and backup running back Chris Brown.

It helped that Missouri kept shooting itself in the foot.&#160 The Tigers missed a FG opportunity in the first quarter, and the defense forced two Mizzou turnovers in the first half in rolling to a 38-7 halftime lead.

Bradford was 34-49-384 and two touchdowns.&#160 Iglesias caught nine of those for 125 yards and two scores, and Ryan Broyles added 85 yards on six receptions.&#160 Chris Brown rushed for 122 yards on 27 carries, and third-stringer Mossis Madu added 114 yards on 15 carries.

T-sips, you honest-to-whatever-dirty-orange-deity you serve don’t&#160 want any part of the Crimson & Cream right at the moment.&#160 Something tells me that you’d wind up wishing it was&#160 still 45-35.

…

Remember when I fretted Friday about going oh-fer this weekend?

At least the Cowgirls held up their end of the fucking bargain.

You heard it here first:&#160 The Cowgirls are going to miss the playoffs, and Coach Cupcake will have his fat, can’t-win-a-playoff-game-to-save-his-life ass canned.

Just under nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Dallas has a 10-point lead.&#160 Pittsburgh’s offense has gone nowhere fast the entire game because Dallas’ defense has played tight all the way through.&#160 They even stuffed Pittsburgh earlier in the quarter on fourth-and-goal from the &#189-yard line.

Coach Cupcake naturally (and, I will say, apparently&#160 – because I have no way to prove this except with the results) orders the Dallas secondary back into its familiar, bend-bend-bend-break zone.&#160 Boom – suddenly Bennie Roethelisberger can do no fucking wrong, as the swiss-cheese secondary starts allowing the Pitch-and-Catch-Burgh receivers free rein all over the field.

Meanwhile, offensive – damn, is he ever offensive – coordinator Jason Garrett is either handing off to Tashard Choice on off-tackle dives, or sending Romo back seven steps, where he gets his ass sacked, forcing a subsequent checkdown pass to Jason Witten, who is downed far short of the first down, forcing a punt.

So here comes Roethelisberger.&#160 Boom – 14 yards to Nate Washington.&#160 Boom – 21 yards to Washington again.&#160 After two plays that netted nothing, boom – Roethelisberger scrambles for 9-3/4 yards to the C’girl 23.

Now.&#160 100,000,000 people across the nation – and every Steeler fan in Pittsburgh – and&#160 every-fucking-one in the Cowboy organization EXCEPT WADE PHILLIPS ANS HIS HALF-ASSED DEFENSIVE COACHING STAFF!!!!!&#160 – knew bloody well what was coming next:&#160 Big Bennie falls forward for the first.

Which is why they gave it to them.&#160 Play your normal defense instead of ADDING A FIFTH DEFENSIVE LINEMAN AND CROWDING THE CENTER, THUS REDUCING THE CHANCES OF ROETHELISBERGER TRYING TO SNEAK…

…oh, but no.&#160 Not Wade.&#160 Not “Mr. Fix-It”.&#160 Can’t do that – would make too much fucking sense.

Boom – pass to Washington again&#160 for 16 more yards.&#160 Boom – pass to Steeler TE Heath Miller for a 6-yard touchdown.

And we’re tied.&#160 Time for the two-minute drill.

Someone on one of the Dullest Moaning Snooze’s&#160 Cowboy blogs called Tony Romo the 2nd coming of Danny White.&#160 I’m starting to think that’s the case.

After another&#160 stupid-assed run call by Garrett, here comes Romo, wanting to make up for all those pickoffs he missed while he was injured, going to his safety blanket Jason Witten – NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT HE WAS TRIPLE-COVERED!!!&#160 NO, HE HAS TO FORCE IT ANYWAY!

Boom.&#160 Pick-six, Shae Townsend.&#160 Ball game.

A team takes on the personality of its head coach.&#160 Landry’s teams were cool, calm and collected.&#160 Johnson’s teams were passionate, hated losing, loved to gamble and generally didn’t care what you did, because they were going to do what they did anyway and shove it down your throat.

Coach Cupcake’s teams…have spoken for themselves.

Fire Wade Phillips.&#160 Now.

This week:&#160 2-1.&#160 Overall:&#160 58-17.

This is the last edition of the PFW until bowl season, when I declare another Guaranteed Loss Night&#153.
