Inasmuch as I haven’t written squat in the last 48 hours, go read this.
That right there is why he’s the Emperor and I am but a lowly King & Tyrant.
KORRIOTH:  What happened to “Sith Lord”?
VENOMOUS:  That, too.  Shut up.
Anyway, go read it.  Go.  Shoo.
The Ayatollah doesn’t have as much influence as he thought he did. 
In a hearty “fuck you” to the hajiis  at Al-Obambi, a number of television stations are going ahead with plans to end all broadcast analog signals on February 17, as the original schedule called for, defying Al-Obambi’s wishes (and the Imperial Socialist Congress’ directive) in the matter.
More than a quarter of major U.S. TV stations intend to shut down their analog broadcasts on Feb. 17, sticking to the original date despite the wish of the Obama administration that they wait until June.
[…]
San Diego will be the largest city to lose analog broadcasts of three networks: CBS, ABC and Fox.
Smaller cities losing most or all of their major analog network broadcasts include Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla.; Charleston and Greenville, S.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Springfield, Ill.; Burlington, Vt.; Bakersfield, Calif.; Binghamton, N.Y.; Casper, Wyo.; Lincoln, Neb.; Lubbock, Texas; Mobile, Ala.; and Sioux Falls, S.D.
Good on ya, guys.  Jugears McHopeychangey ain’t the boss of you, and it’s good that you’re telling him what he can go do with himself.
Bravo. 
Memo to “The 52™”:
Congratulations on installing a bunch of economically incompetent fucks.  Wall Street thinks you’re a bunch of damnfools.
US stocks fell sharply Tuesday in a broad-based decline as the government announced details of its latest bailout plan.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down nearly 300 points after Treasury Secretary Tim Geither revealed details of the bank-bailout plan. Earlier, the blue-chip index was down less than 100 points.
They’re right.
UPDATE:  382 points down at day’s end.
Yeah, you 52-percenters suuuuuure were smarties to entrust Demoscum with the economy.
Dumb shits.
You guys remember what I said about dusting off the perp before said goblin got into our half-assed excuse-for-a-legal system?
It applies double for illegal fucking aliens.
An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home.
Twenty years ago, this piece of legal shit would have been tossed on its ear, and the chickenshit of an attorney would have been deported, American or not, along with his illegal alien clientele.
Now…
Pardon the Red Curtain of Blood™ that’s getting into my eyes right now.
One mongoloid ambulance chaser, one black-robed chickenshit tyrant, two ropes, two lampposts.
You know the drill. 
Denizens, I have a special prayer request today for you guys:
Not sure if I ever mentioned this, but late last year the Mothergoose from Denton was forced by the state (albeit indirectly) to close her home-based water testing business.  (A license the state said she needed to continue was cost-prohibitive to acquire.)  Thus, she became a statistic.  She’s managed to glom onto a job in a lab with low pay and a massive (try three hours one-way) commute, but she’s at least got a job for now.
Now for the request:  She’s got a bead on a possible new position that pays a little more (barely), but with only a 50-minute commute.  She has a good chance of getting this job, but she could use our prayers, nonetheless.
Thanks, guys.
A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real  money.

Memo to Senator Skank, aka Debbie Stabenow (Dipshit-MI):
History records that people who generally try to shut Americans up have themselves been silenced.  And not always by pleasant means, either.
You’d do well to remember that, Stabenow, you stupid little cunt.
Denizens, I think I’m beginning to see what Dubya meant when he accused the Demoscum of “fuzzy math”.
First, of course, it was the Ayatollah Obambi with his crack about there being at least “57 states” – not counting, of course, Alaska & Hawaii and the “one left to go” he’d previously mentioned.
But now, in the short span of two short weeks, the Al-Obambi economy – already a failed bit to start with – has gotten exponentially worse, because we’ve gained two hundred million  (200,000,000 – or a 2 with 8 zeros behind it for those of you in the Church of the SubTarded) citizens in those two weeks.
San Fran Nan Piglousi said so.
The economy may be bad, but if you listen to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it’s worse than is even statistically possible.
While answering a recent question about the speed of passing an economic recovery package, the California Democrat stated, “500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don’t think we can go fast enough to stop that.”
Obviously, Pelosi misspoke, as the total population of the United States is only about 305 million.
Well, duh.  I  coulda told you that.
But it does  kinda put the lie to that tired old meme about the US electorate having chosen the “smartest man (or woman, for that matter) in the room”, now, doesn’t it?
That the number of jobless people EACH MONTH there are going to be here in the US if “Teh One’s” Porkulus bill isn’t passed. So sayeth the oh-so wise and intelligent Nancy Piglousy.
Here’s the link to the video from Drudge. {just too darn lazy today to embed it here}
Glenn Beck has his take on this. Rush is on vacation this week, but I would imagine given that the guest host is Mark Steyn, he’ll have a spot on this as well.
If the Demoscum were smart (which we know is debatable even on a good day) they’d can this “talking head”. But in the mean time, we all get ANOTHER good laugh at her screw-up.
ThatIsAll™
Comment of the Month™ comes from the beautiful & talented Michelle, who, in pondering Geithner, then D’asshole and she who preceded him, this one named Killifer, asked the question:
And where’s Vice President Joe Biden to wag his finger at their lack of patriotism?
All together now – 3…2…1…
Now this is what I call abject stupidity.
Yanking open the passenger door of a marked Dallas police squad car, an unarmed 18-year-old man ordered the veteran sergeant inside to hand over the keys and his gun, police said.
“This is the day I die,” John Lewis Johnson said to Sgt. Charles Young, according to police documents. “Give me your keys.”
Thing is, had the officer done the morally right thing (it, of course, being a travesty of justice that the dumbass is wasting our oxygen) and offed this dorkwad, he’d be a candidate for Darwin.  And probably would have won, too.
Idiot. 
Believe it or not, I don’t have a dog in this fight.
I have reasons to hate both the Steelers & Cardinals, seeing as how both of them beat the C’girlz this year.  I s’pose I lean a little away from Pittsburgh getting that sixth Lombardi Trophy, but it’s eventually gonna happen, whether or not they win today.
But truth be told, I like a coaches like Ken Whisenhunt & Mike Tomlin – they’re both no-nonsense, gritty coaches who won’t take shit off anyone.  Kinda like what I wish we had here.
And I like both Benny Roethelisberger & Kurt Warner, though I want to see Warner get the second ring of which the New England Pansies (and the fucking zebras) denied him five years ago.
But I really don’t have a preference for who wins.  Except…
That little pussy the Ayatollah Obambi is pulling for the Steelers.
Go Cards.
