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

In one of Shrubya’s last official acts before he leaves (and, thank God, takes his “compassionate” form of conservatism with him), he changed a policy allowing CCW in most national parks:

The Bush administration Friday announced a new policy allowing people to carry concealed firearms in nearly every national park and wildlife refuge.

The move changes a nearly 25-year-old policy that only permitted firearms to be carried in areas of parks that are specifically designated for hunting and target practice.

According to the Department of Interior, the new rules apply to national parks and refuges located in states that allow people to carry concealed weapons, and a person carrying a concealed weapon must have proper authorization from the state where the park or refuge is located.

In fact, they’re kinda-sorta dancing a jig over at the Rott right now.

Now, I hate to be the one to piss in everyone’s Cheerios…

MERLIN:&#160 ‘Scuse me?

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Howzzat?

KORRIOTH:&#160 Who are you and what have you done with Lord Venomous?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Oh, bite me.&#160

…but everyone just stop and think a minute.

It’s a policy.&#160 A policy enacted by an outgoing President.&#160 A policy enacted by an outgoing President who is surrendering the office to an anti-gun pussy from the other party.

How long do you think it’ll be before the Ayatollah Obambi simply reverses the policy?&#160 Hello?&#160 Anyone?&#160 Bueller?

Be happy tonight, fine.&#160 Go ahead.&#160 Knock yerselves out.

Just remember that nothing is forever – especially not newly-enacted policies roundly despised by the incoming power-brokers.

It’s Championship Week at the offices of the Perfect Football Weekend&#153, and two of the three teams playing this week are, in fact, playing for conference championships.

Today, Turner Gill’s UBuffalo Bulls travel to Detroit to take on the 12th-ranked Ball State Cardinals for the Mid-American Conference championship.&#160 I’m tempted to put the SpatulaLine&#153 back in, given that Ball State is&#160 undefeated & ranked, but I promised that once I lifted it, it was gone, so…

But I still don’t think Turner’s boys have much of a chance.

Saturday Night, Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City will be the site where Sam Bradford and the fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners take on Chase Daniel and the 19th-ranked Missouri Tigers for the Big XII title.

Mizzou hasn’t beaten the Sooners in forever (or so it seems), but if Instant Karma&#153 is the bitch she advertises, a lot of Texas & TTech fans will be happy campers Sunday morning.&#160 I’m claiming Murphy’s Law on this and predicting a Tiger win.

Sunday, The Biggest Super Bowl XXX Rematch Ever In The History Of Ever, Ev-Effing-Er&#153 takes place in Pittsburgh as TRomo and the C’boys pay the Steelers a visit.&#160 DeMarcus Ware looks to be okay, but Marion Barber III’s toe is still a little a helluva lot iffy – and&#160 Steel has the number one defense in the NFL, so I have my doubts about this one.

In fact, this could be the first time in a long time I go oh-fer on a PFW.&#160 Which means I’ll go back to work Monday in a foul mood.&#160 Which’ll be most appropos.

Back Monday for the recap.&#160 In the meantime, Bucky plays no one this weekend.&#160 Bucky’s favored by two.&#160

It’s getting harder & harder to do this by myself every year.&#160

Found another gem over on WND here. I’m beginning to be more and more of a fan of this newspaper, because they are absolutely not afraid to tell the truth (without any libtard MSM bias) and back it up with facts. If it’s not on your daily list, you should add it!

So anyway, it seems that along with all the Constitutional issues Al-Obambi has in proving his eligibility for the Office of the President (go here, here, and here for more info) now there appears this on the radar screens here at the Southern Command Intel room. A lesser know clause in Article 1 of the Constitution, which the article quotes by saying:

The second clause of Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution reads, “No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.”

For those like me who are not Constitutional scholars, “emoluments” is what we know as “pay raises” in our modern lexicon.

What this means is this. Al-Obambi’s choices for his cabinet, where the chosen individual is a CURRENT member of either the House of Representatives or the Senate, are not allowed by that little clause noted above from fulfilling the role they have been selected for. So that (as the rest of the article points out) means that Al-Obambi’s choice for Secretary of State….the junior libtard from Screw Yoursk, the testicle lockbox holder, Hitlary…..cannot Constitutionally fill that role.

Why you say? Because of that “emoluments” part of the clause. As also pointed out in the article:

During Clinton’s current term in the Senate, the salary for Cabinet officers was increased from $186,600 to $191,300. Since the salary is scheduled to again be raised in January 2009, not only Clinton but all sitting Senate members could be considered constitutionally ineligible to serve in Obama’s Cabinet.

This was something that even the Founding Fathers (God rest their souls) saw that the potential for this type of governmental corruption and intentionally wrote Section 6 of Article 1.

James Madison’s notes on the debates that formed the Constitution explain the reason for the clause. Madison himself argued against “the evils” of corrupt governments where legislators created salaried positions – or increased the salary of positions – and then secured appointments to the cushy jobs they just created. Others agreed that such tactics were evident in Colonial and British government, and they wrote Article 1, Section 6 to prevent the practice.

Hmmmmm. So this very quandary was important enough to be included by the Founding Fathers (God rest their souls) in the drafts and the final copy of the Constitution. Yet without missing a beat and in completely normal libtard Demonscummic style, Al-Obambi is going to conveniently ignore the Constitution once again.

There have been others that have made use of a “fix”, read the article to see more about it.

ThatIsAll&#153

Well, that was rather anti-climatic.&#160

So much for that 60-seat supermajority, eh, Dingy Harry?&#160

However, Denizens, I think you can now expect to see Joe Lieberman absolutely jammed&#160 under the bus by the Demoscum.&#160 Welcome to the GOP, Senator Lieberman.

(And yes, Denizens – I know that, what with all the RINOs still there, it doesn’t mean much.&#160 On the other hand, now that there are fewer of them, perhaps we can ride herd on those that remain.&#160 Wishful thinking, yes, I know.)

The Obambi economy is on its way back down again.

The Dow took another nosedive on Monday, finishing at 8,179 as Wall Street suddenly remember whom 62 million jackasses voted for in November.

Hey, Donktards, I’m just giving you pussies what you gave GW Bush for eight years. Not my&#160 fault you can dish it out but can’t take it.&#160

Dammit.&#160 Cut’m a little slack and look what happens.

at UBuffalo 21, Kent State 24

#3 Oklahoma 61, at #11 Oklahoma State 41

at Nebraska 40, Colorado Buffalo Chip U. 31

at Dallas 34, Seattle 9

Sometimes, that last yard can be the toughest to get.

UBuff actually had a chance to win this one, but Brett Hamlin failed to protect the ball on the Bulls’ final drive, having it pulled from his grasp at the one after catching a pass from Drew Willy with 1:46 to play.&#160 Kent State’s Justin Edelman had put KSU in front four minutes earlier with a 25-yard pass to Jonathan Simpson.

KSU gashed the hell out of the Bulls line, going for 312 rushing yards.&#160 Edelman was their leading rusher with 167 yards.&#160 Eugene Jarvis added 150 yards on 22 carries.

Willy was 21-31-240 and one touchdown.&#160 James Starks ran for 136 yards on 24 carries.

What hurts about this one is that KSU went into the game at 3-8.&#160 Memo to my old acquaintance Turner Gill:&#160 you do not&#160 drop games to losing teams at home.&#160 I hope that you gave more of a rip job to your team afterwards than Coach Branch used to give the AHHS varsity hoops team after games during that oh-fer season of 78-79 (read:&#160 none).

What hurts worse is that, had we had the SpatulaLine&#153 on this, we’d have a PFW for the week.

Grrrrrrrrrr.&#160

…

Bo Pelini got too cutesy for his own good, and it almost cost him.

With two minutes left in the first half Friday, the Cornhuskers lined up for a 50-yard field goal, intending to run a fake where holder Jake Wesch would take the snap and pitch back to kicker Alex Henery on a sweep.&#160 But Henery left too soon, Colorado’s Jimmy Smith read the play and intercepted Wesch’s blind flip, then took it 58 yards untouched to the house.

Henery made up for it, though, with 2nd-half field goals of 27, 37 and 57 yards (the last being a Nebraska school record), and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh intercepted a last-gasp Cody Hawkins pass and rumbled 30 yards for the final margin.

Joey Ganz was 19-26-229 and two touchdowns.&#160 Roy Helu Jr. had 166 yards on 25 carries.

…

Memo to the Big XII:&#160 You might have lower-scoring games during Bedlam week if you just make OU & OSU leave their defenses on the sidelines the entire game.

I mean, that’s basically what you had Saturday night, anyway.

Believe it or not, this started out as a defensive struggle – it was only 7-3, OU, at the end of the first quarter.

So check out this box:

1 2 3 4 T
OKLA (11-1) 7 14 16 24 61
OKST (9-3) 3 10 13 15 41

Usually, OU gets it revved up in the first quarter of games, then coasts.&#160 But OSU wasn’t having any of that.&#160 Every time OU would score to push the lead back out to 10 or so, the Cowboys would come right back and score to bring it back down to a field goal.

The game wasn’t over, in fact, until Jeremy Beal sacked OSU quarterback Zac Robinson with just under three minutes to play, causing him to fumble, and Adrian Taylor recovered at the Cowboy 38.&#160 Chris Brown ran it in from 28 yards for the final margin.

Bradford, playing with an injured left thumb, was 30-44-370 and four touchdowns.&#160 Brown had 98 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, and DeMarco Murray added 73 yards and a score on 15 carries.&#160 Jermaine Gresham caught nine passes for 158 yards and two scores.

…

When you have an uninspired team basically going through the motions, the first thing you want to do is put your foot on their throat and disabuse said opponent of any notion that they have a chance that day.

Dallas did just that, scoring touchdowns on their first three drives, and letting the defense crank it up on an injured Matt Hasselbeck the rest of the way, putting him on the ground a total of seven times Thursday.&#160 DeMarcus Ware had three of those sacks, and Bradie James added two.&#160 Tank Johnson even got into the act with one sack.

Julius Jones, in his first game back at Texas Stadium since signing with Seattle, showed why Dallas didn’t bother re-signing him, gaining only 37 yards on 11 carried, being largely ineffective and losing a fumble.

Romo was 22-34-331 with three touchdowns.&#160 Jason Witten caught nine passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, and Terrell Owens caught five for 98 yards and a score.

All in all, quite the nice bird on which to feast for Thanksgiving.

This week:&#160 3-1.&#160 Overall:&#160 56-16.

The PFW will return on Friday, when we hope to show a perfect team just how overrated they really are.
