Ex-fuckin’-scuse me?  “The white will embrace what is right”?
Joseph Lowery, you are nothing but a racist son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch.
Fuck you and the racist jackass you rode in on, motherfucker.
Enough said, I think.
Ignacio Ramos & Jose Compean had their sentences commuted by LameDuckya today.
Took you long enough, Shrub, you dolt.
But at usual, it was a day late and a dollar short.  It should  have been a pardon, not  a commutation.
And the GOP wonders why Bush is going out with a damned-near single-digit approval rating.
Yes, ’tis true – the Dallas C’girlz did not go to the Super Bowl this year.
Then again, neither did Bwandi Jackoff and the NY Football Douchebags.  And as of now, neither did the Phuckadelphia Beagles and The World’s Greatest Ever Quarterback Ever In The History Of Ever, Ever™, Donna McCrabbs.
That’s right, sportz fanz.  Fat-Assed Wilma’s crybaby boy is shut out yet again.
And yours truly couldn’t be happier.   
What with all the Hue & Cry™ about exhorbitant executive salaries, bonuses (bonusii?), perks, golden parachutes ‘n all – I don’t seem to recall any libtard biznotch screaming about this.
The Walt Disney Co.’s chief executive, Robert Iger, received a compensation package valued at $51.1 million in fiscal 2008, up 85 percent from a year earlier, according to an Associated Press calculation of figures disclosed in a regulatory filing made Friday. But most of it came in stock options that currently have little value.
Those options, which vest though 2013, were granted in January 2008 when Iger agreed to a new employment contract.
Iger’s salary was $2 million the fiscal year ended Sept. 27, unchanged from a year earlier, and he was given a performance-related bonus of $13.9 million, up from $13.7 million in fiscal 2007.
Gee, seems a little high for someone who’s basically watching over Uncle Walt’s legacy, isn’t it?  Especially after he hasn’t done all that much to polish Disney’s image after Widdle Mikey Eisner spent all those years tarnishing it.  All those less-than-wholesome movies (Touchstone  and Miramax  flicks come to mind), making the theme parks heterophobe-friendly, that sort of thing.
Why isn’t anyone screaming Bloody Fuckin’ Murder™ over any of that?  Hmmmmmmmmmmm???
Oh, wait – it’s because we conservatives & Christians object to what Disney’s become over the years.  Must be a Good Thing™, then.  Never mind.
Boggles de mind, it do.
I honest-to-Cthulu fucking hate  Webroot Spy Sweeper.
The bastard who designed it best not come anywhere near me. 
This is about all I got for today from the Southern Command. Going out-of-town for the weekend.
Seems like Annie and a whole bunch of others are doing just that. FoxNews article points out that us folks that got a clue are doing our darnedest to ensure we don’t have our Second Amendment rights taken from us.
Here’s a thought, let’s make sure by enforcing our Second Amendment rights that we also make sure Al Obambi and his SekretPolicia don’t get their slimy fingers on our Fourth Amendment rights in the process.
Capiche?

Worked all day, then helped a girl celebrate her birthday tonight.  (Memo to Red Lobster:  it’ll be a cold one in Hell before I come back unless you guys make some changes.  Such as treating your Thursday night guests like you do the ones on Friday & Saturday.)
Anyway, guys, I got nothing.  Maybe tomorrow.
Khan Noonian Singh has passed.
Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV’s “Fantasy Island,” died Wednesday morning at his home, a Los Angeles city councilman said. He was 88.
[…]
Montalban had been a star in Mexican movies when MGM brought him to Hollywood in 1946. He was cast in the leading role opposite Esther Williams in “Fiesta.” He also starred with the swimming beauty in “On an Island with You” and “Neptune’s Daughter.”
[…]
A later generation knew Montalban as the faintly mysterious, white-suited Mr. Roarke, who presided over an island resort where visitors were able to fulfill their lifelong dreams. “Fantasy Island” received high ratings for most of its 1978-1984 span on ABC television and still appears in reruns.
And in between, Trekkers like yours truly knew him as the genetically-enhanced prince/ruler of the “Eastern Coalition”, Khan Noonian Singh, who escaped on the SS Botany Bay, and was later found by Kirk’s Enterprise, banished by Ceti Alpha V, rediscovered and ultimately destroyed by Kirk.
The Realm™ extends condolences to his family.  Not many actors were finer in their craft, and he will be sorely missed.
Today’s money quote from NewsBusters:
One has a sinking suspicion that the press is allowing itself to become Obama’s lapdog extraordinaire.
You.  Don’t.  Say.
What-evah  gave you that  idea? 
Had to love something Rush pointed out today:
Seems every time you use Goooooooooooooooogle, you leave as big a carbon footprint as if you were boiling water for a cup of tea.
While millions of people tap into Google without considering the environment, a typical search generates about 7g of CO2 Boiling a kettle generates about 15g. “Google operates huge data centres around the world that consume a great deal of power,” said Alex Wissner-Gross, a Harvard University physicist whose research on the environmental impact of computing is due out soon. “A Google search has a definite environmental impact.”
So, if taken to its logical extreme, every time you use Google, you’re polluing the evniroment.
Uh, who was that who invented the internet again? 
… is there really a problem here.
When I read this article, I had to start scratching the ol’ noggin’.
Seeing that it’s likely the “change” would occur during the Manchurian Muslim’s watch, I’m like “Some change. More American jobs lost. Thanks a trillion, Al Obambi”
Being former USAF myself, I’m also a taaaaad bit concerned that the US military is going to consider going outside our shores for such a critical piece of hardware. Not to mention the ripple effect that this decision could have on American manufacturers that support our men and women in the military.
Thoughts? Comments?
Denizens, some Much Needed Research™ has revealed that in the past, I have combined the Year In Review and the resolutions.
Therefore, the Resolutions will be delayed another couple of days.  But it’s coming, promise.

Ain’t quite as easy when you’re  the number one seed, is it, dumbshits? 
Yes, Florida beat Oklahoma.  Eighteen-on-eleven in what’s essentially your own backyard, and you’d fucking well better  win.
#7 Texas Christian 17, #10 Boise State 16
UBuffalo 20, Connecticut 38
Nebraska 26, Clemson 21
#5#1 Oklahoma 14,#1#118 Flori-duh 10, Fucking Pansy-Assed Biased Excuses-For-Zebras 10(-7)Dallas 6, at Phuckadelphia 44
UBuffalo ran into a team that was bigger and faster than they were, which is to be expected when the MAC tangles with the Big East.  Drew Willy was 29-43, but for only 213 yards – and that was it for the Bull offense.  Starks & Thermilus combined for 30 yards, which was 15 less than Huskies back Donald Brown had on one of his touchdown runs.
Still, it was a good year for Turner Gill and his boys.  It’ll be a real surprise if UBuffalo is in the PFW next year, because I expect Turner to be elsewhere before too long.
…
Joey Ganz did his damndest to give the game to Clemson in the first half.
Cornhuskers fans might have wanted to run Ganz out of Jacksonville at halftime. The senior had a fumble late in the first half that was returned 28 yards for a touchdown and threw an interception in the final minute that was returned 63 yards and led to another score.
On top of everything else, he also suffered a slight concussion when he got blasted in the third quarter while dropping back to pass.  He missed one play, then returned for the next series, finishing 19-36-236 and two touchdowns, one to Todd Peterson.  Quentin Castille led the Husker ground game with 18 carries for 125 yards.
Prospects are good for Bo Pelini’s squad next year, having won six of their last seven this year to finish 9-4.
…
Prospects for TCU look good as well.  There are only a few graduating seniors, and key pieces of each side of the ball figure to return.
As for the game, it didn’t start well for the Frogs.  Boise State scored the first 10 points of the game, essentially shoving it down TCU’s throat.
TCU’s response for most of the first half was to shoot itself in the foot.  It was eerily similar to the Cowboys’ first drive against the Steelers in Super Bowl XIII – they were doing just fine lining up and playing basic football, beating the Smurfs at the line of scrimmage more often than not.  Then they would try what Rece Davis called “trickeration”.
(Memo to Rece Davis:  Lose the term “trickeration”.)
Anyway, the gadgetry would inevitably backfire, and TCU would either be forced to punt or turn the ball over right then & there.  Dalton threw one interception, in fact, that BState almost turned into a pick-six.  At that point, the TCU defense decided that enough was enough and essentially shut the Broncos down the rest of the game.
The offense then started chipping away with the run, mixed in with the occasionally timely pass.  Aaron Brown took one to the house from about 15 yards out in the second quarter, then Joseph Turner from five yards out in the fourth gave the Frogs just enough to spoil Smurf Turf State’s bid for a second perfect season in three years.
Dalton finished 22-35-197.  Brown ended his Frog career by running for 102 yards.
This TCU class finishes with 41 wins, the most in school history for any one class, and also has now won four bowl games for the first time ever.  Things stand to improve for this bunch, as Gary Patterson just signed a new contract, and offensive coordinator Mike Schultz has left to take an OC position somewhere else (presumably, both schools should benefit offensively from that move).
The bar is raised from here, however; as this Frog outfit finished ranked seventh, expectations for next year will be even higher.  It’ll be interesting to see where TCU is to start the season in 2009.
…
Someone needs to bring the bar back down for the Dallas C’girlz.  Say, about three inches off the ground.
Needing a win to get into the playoffs in order to even have a chance to fulfill preseason prognostications of getting to Tampa for the Super Bowl – and knowing  they needed to win to get in – the Girlz laid a fucking egg.
Romo again  didn’t take care of the effin’ ball, throwing an interception and losing a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.  Marion Barber lost a fumble on the very next drive that resulted in another score.  Even The World’s Best Ever Cornerback/Return Specialist Ever In The History Of Ever, Ever™, Pacman Jones, lost a fumble on a return near the end of the first half that cost Dallas a field goal.
Dallas watched all this happen with a befuddled look on their faces, collectively & otherwise.  Sort of like the look Coach Cupcake had on him all damned game long.  Not sure why he looked like that – I mean, it wasn’t the first time this year Wade Phillips watched his team mail it in on a game, which is why they had to win this game to get into the tournament in the first place.
Then again, Phillips has never won a playoff game, ever – and this, in every sense of the word, was  a playoff game.  Some things never change.
And things aren’t going to change next year – not for the Cowgirlz, anyway.  Owner Jethro (hat tip:  Gil LeBreton of the Fort Worth Startlegram) insists that Coach Cupcake is returning next year, so we can expect more of the same from this motley crew.
However, there will be changes as far as This Fine Blog™ is concerned.  The PFW is leaning very  heavily towards keeping the Cowgirlz out next year until & unless Jethro fires the fat ass.  Granted, Bruce Read finally got his ass fired, but given the overall turd this team put in the NFL punch bowl, more is required before these losers are allowed back in.
Tune in come August to find out.

The Salamanders “score” their first “touchdown” as Louie Murphy fumbles the ball at the goal line – a fumble that OU recovered, by the way.  Oh, never mind – it’s Florida.  Touchdown.
Chris Brown scores from the four in the second quarter.  Oh, wait – that’s Oklahoma, right?  Spot him at the one.  OU failed to score on downs.
OU holding “penalties” cost the Sooners during long drives, killing both of them.  The Salamanders held all night and only got called once.  A clear pass-interference penalty on Flori-duh that didn’t get called.
A Salamander “interception” led to their final touchdown.  Replays showed the ball hitting the ground.
A minimum fourteen-point (and probably more) point swing.  The final margin was 10.  You do the math.
Once again, an east coast team was shown to be a little faster than OU.  Unlike West Virginia last year, though, the Sooners did a better job of keeping up.  The play calling was questionable – the Sooners kept trying to go outside on Flori-duh, instead of driving it straight up the gut where the Sals were vulnerable.
But where teams are pretty much evenly matched, as these two were, talent should be allowed to decide the game, instead of piss-poor officiating.  And that’s what we got here – and it cost OU once again.
No matter.  The Sooners will be back.  And eventually, maybe we can get a championship game at Cowboys’ Stadium.  Let some hapless SEC pud have to play in our  backyard for once, where maybe we  can get some calls.
This week:  3-2.  Final 2008 record:  61-19.
The PFW will return in August, by which time a suitable replacement for the Cowgirlz should have been found.
We now return you to your regular schedule of leftard-bashing.
