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

Okay, Denizens, so I’m over at Riehl’s blog when I’m accosted by this Leftard Lickspittle Lunatic&#153 named “Sarah”.

Never mind what we’re arguing about – this line is the all-time-loser line:

And yes, your words are hateful. One doesn’t have to be clairvoyant to see that if someone is foaming-at-the-mouth disrespectful to the president of the US – which neither I nor any of my friends *ever* were to President Bush, by the way – that there is some hate there, whether it’s in your heart or what-have-you.&#160 (Emphasis added.&#160 -DV)

Never in the eight years of the Bush Administration, saith she.

Some people are Just That Fucking Stupid&#153.

First we were “a mob” (that is, according to Lloyd “Satan” Doggett).

Then we might as well have been called Nazis because we were “carrying swastikas”.

And now&#160 we’re “un-American”.

However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue. These tactics have included hanging in effigy one Democratic member of Congress in Maryland and protesters holding a sign displaying a tombstone with the name of another congressman in Texas, where protesters also shouted “Just say no!” drowning out those who wanted to hold a substantive discussion.

Just so you know, Piglousi, a “substantive discussion” means that your water-carriers meet with their constituents and they talk with&#160 us, rather than at&#160 us.&#160 And then – and, I might say, even before that – they listen to us.&#160 And then – being our representatives – they do what we tell them to do.

Now, what part of any of that did you not understand, O Shrieker of the House?

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.

No, beeyotch, you “failed” at this task precisely because we heard you loud and clear.

Let’s get one thing straight, bimbo.&#160 Your party won because of the level of derangement amongst 52% of the voting populace towards George W. Bush.&#160 And that&#160 was because of your pussies in the leftard lapdog media and their&#160 hatred of Dubya.&#160 It certainly&#160 didn’t have anything to do with health care, trust me.

Now, because of a narrow four-point victory – in an election that wasn’t exactly above-board, with a candidate who still&#160 hasn’t proven his eligibility, you bastards think you have some sort of mandate???&#160 And that anyone who would dare&#160 raise the slightest objection is labelled “un-American”?&#160 Or worse???&#160 From a party that almost literally squeamed when anyone dared question their patriotism?

I’m not questioning it – I’m challenging it outright.&#160 You little needle-dicked leftist crapweasels don’t fuckin’ have any.&#160 You bastards hate America and all for which it stands, and are trying to impose your twisted morality on the rest of us at the point of a fucking gun.

Looks like it’s just about time to pick up a certain can…

UPDATE:&#160 And once again I’ll defer, Piggly & Dingy, to the Secretary of State of the U.S.:

A quote to start your week.&#160 Got this from commenter “THJim” over at Redstate (and it’s a damned shame I missed it the first time):

“…We’ve always known that Democrats are antiwar. We’ve always known we can’t really count on them for the national defense. But we have finally seen with whom they will go to war: The American people who disagree with them.”

-Rush Limbaugh August 7th, 2009

“Indeed”, as the Puppy Blender&#153 might say.

Remember I said yesterday:

We’ll crank up things next week or so, once the games commence. See you then.

Well, next week came early.&#160 Buffalo’s other&#160 team, the Bills (not, of course, to be confused with the Bulls) take on the Tennesee Titans this evening in Canton, OH for the Hall of Fame game.&#160 (This is the year that former C’boy Bob Hayes gets inducted, so there’s a tie.)

I’m not handicapping this game; I don’t care who wins; I don’t care if you pooh-pooh the fact that it’s even less-than-preseason football.&#160 It’s live, dammit, and I haven’t had that in six months.&#160

UPDATE:&#160 Tennessee 21, Buffalo 18.

Throwback Day at Canton.&#160 Beefalo wore their old whites with the white helmet/red standing (grazing?) buffalo; Tennessee wore their old Houston Oiler (Columbia) blue with the blue helmet (oil derrick, not trimmed in red this time).&#160 Very nice.

The PFW will return Friday or so for the Cowboy preseason opener.

(Hat tip:&#160 Dan Riehl, whose Fine Blog&#153 is getting blogrolled posthaste.)

One of the things about which the Demoscum constantly squeamed
the last eight years or so was President Bush’s use of something called a “signing statement”.&#160 When Dubya signed a bill and enacted it into law, he would also issue a statement advising how he would interpret said law – whether there were parts he’d treat differently than what the Imperial Socialist Congress&#153 intended, or simply ignore whole parts of said law.&#160 These “signing statements” were generally used to get around parts of bills Dubya correctly interpreted to be bullshit attempts on infringement of his responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, but were used for other purposes on occasion.

(Such an example of the aforementioned squeaming can be found here – if&#160 you have the stomach for it.)

In fact, one of the aforementioned (yes, that’s the Word Of The Day&#153 – why do you ask?) Demoscummic critics of said Dubya practice was one B. HUSSEIN!!!!!&#160 Obambi.&#160 Here, see for yourself:

So it is a great curiosity that the Ayatollah…seems to have developed an affinity for the practice.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, The Won denounced President Bush’s use of signing statements as an “abuse” after he used them to authorize officials to bypass laws like a torture ban and oversight provisions of the USA Patriot Act.

Since taking office, The Won has relaxed his notion of what he deems to be appropriate signing statements and on July 21, 2009 Representatives Barney Frank (D-MA) and David R. Obey (D-WI), sent a letter to Obama complaining about one of his signing statements.

“During the previous administration, all of us were critical of the president’s assertion that he could pick and choose which aspects of Congressional statutes he was required to enforce. We were therefore chagrined to see you appear to express a similar attitude. The policy of using signing statements to assert the right of the White House to ignore certain provisions of legislation regarding the IMF, the World Bank, and other international financial institutions may result not in the invalidation of those various provisions, but rather in insufficient Congressional support for further funding of these institutions.”

Obama said he could disregard the negotiation instructions under his power to conduct foreign relations.

PotKettleBlack&#153 there much, Jugears?

We’re going to take a break from ranting at Obambi’s SEIU pussies to once again pursue one of our great passions:&#160 Football!

—

Well, Denizens, the Texas Rangers are, surprisingly, making a race of it this year waiting until August to start their July swoon.

Blind pigs & truffles, I guess.

But the C’boys are in camp already, so it’s way past time to hit the crank on the Perfect Football Weekend&#153 for yet another year.

For those of you who are new to this blog, here’s the deal:&#160 During the football season, I follow the adventures – or misadventures, in some cases – of six football teams which I like, and chronicle their exploits here.&#160 I then invite you to do likewise in the comment section of each PFW post.

This year’s PFW teams are as follows:

High school – (Fort Worth) Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets:&#160 The Yellow Jackets will once again be led by coach Steve Hale – and since I can never to save my life find anything in the way of predictions for this motley bunch, I’ll go out on a limb and predict 13-0 and a state championship.

(Reality here.&#160 Don’t even&#160 bet on it.&#160 3-7 and another one-and-done in the playoffs.&#160 If&#160 they get that far.)

College: – Texas Christian University Horned Frogs:&#160 Gary Patterson marks yet another year as the Tadpoles’ head coach, and brings back seven starters on offense and five on defense.

TCU’s fortunes this year will, once again, all depend on the cannon arm of junior quarterback Andy Dalton.&#160 He will have more experienced help this year at the skill positions, with Jimmy Young & Bart Johnson split wide and bulldog back Joseph Turner running for the tough yards.

He will also not be hamstrung by the plodding, pedantic, predictable offense of Mike Schultz.&#160 Jarett Anderson and Justin Fuentes share play-calling this year, and it’ll be interesting to see what new wrinkles the Froggies unfurl.

Last year I said this about the defense:

They’re gonna have to score a lot to win, I fear – the defense is once again undersized, but unlike last year, it’s also now inexperienced.&#160 Let’s hope Dalton’s freshman-baptism-by-fire has tempered his abilities to a fine edge this year – he’s gonna need it

I’d say top-5 in the nation kinda put the lie to my fears, hm?

Special teams will once again be a concern until Ross Evans figures out how to kick the ball straight.&#160 Anson Kelton will once again handle punting chores.

The schedule is a killer early with road games at both Virginia & Auburn – yeah, that&#160 Auburn – during the first three weeks.&#160 1-2 is not out of the question.

College – University of Oklahoma Sooners – I’ve come to respect (and even admire) the will to win that is embodied in Bob Stoops.&#160 Plus, he’s matured some over the years, and is a little more humble nowadays, which is good.

Stoops will bring back Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham and a cast of thou…well, dozens (grin)…as they try yet again for a national championship.&#160 They came close last year, closer than they’ve been in a while.&#160 Perhaps this year will be the one that takes them over the hump.

College – University of Nebraska Cornhuskers – It’s Year Two for the Bo Pelini regime, and Bo will return 13 starters (five offensive, seven defensive and the place-kicker).&#160 The Big XII North is a killer, but Pelini will win at least a couple of games on the strength of his personality alone.

College – University of Buffalo (NY) Bulls – I was certain that Turner Gill was gone to a major program this year.&#160 Alas, the call never came, so we’ll follow the plight of the Bulls for another year.&#160 Drew Willy is gone, but Gill will rely on the two-headed monster of James Starks & Brandon Thermilus once again to “punch holes in the opposing defense’s front line”, as George Carlin used to put it.&#160 Naaman Roosevelt returns to provide new quarterback Zach Maynard air support, and the defense will be anchored by 2008 All-MAC selections Davonte Shannon, Mike Newton and Justin Winters.

This year, Gill’s bunch are tapped to repeat as Mid-American Conference East Division champs, but the hardest thing to do is repeat, particularly since Buffalo will sneak up on no one this year.&#160 Gill’s continued maturation as a head coach gets tested here.

Because the Bulls are rated this highly now, the SpatulaLine – allowing them a little extra slack when it came to the Vegas line – is gone.&#160 UBuffalo is on their own going forward.

Don’t disappoint me, Turner.&#160

Pro – Dallas Cowboys – Anyone who expects Wade Phillips to be back next year, raise your hand.

(crickets)

Didn’t think so.

Widdle Terri Owens is gone (and, because of that, is now back to being called Widdle Terri Owens).&#160 Pacman “Make It Rain” Jones is gone.&#160 Anthony Henry is gone.&#160 Roy Williams (the safety) is gone.&#160 Chris Canty is gone.&#160 Zach Thomas is gone.&#160 Defensive coordinator Brian Stewart is gone.

And perhaps most importantly, Jessica Simpson is gone.

So is this the year Dallas practices addition by subtraction?

Tony Romo returns at quarterback, as usual, with a new primary receiver (Roy Williams – the other one), but has pretty much the same cast of characters as last year – Patrick Crayton, Sam Hurd, Miles Austin and James Witten.&#160 Marion “The Barbarian” Barber will anchor the running game, assisted by Felix Jones and rookie semi-sensation Tashard Choice.

On defense, Demarcus Ware dominates the league once again, and the hope is that this will create room for third-year player Anthony Spencer to operate.&#160 Igor Olshansky takes over for Canty, and Keith Brookings replaces Thomas in the linebacking corps.&#160 Dallas is a little thin at cornerback, but not disturbingly so.&#160 Well, yet anyway – we’re still waiting for a complete season from Terrance Newman.

Mat McBriar and Nick Folk man the kicking game, as always – probably as good a tandem as there is in the league.

All that said, a 1-4 start could have Jerry Jones a mite nervous.&#160 Gotta fill up the new JerryWorld, after all.

—

Now, the rules for the PFW are simple:&#160 All my teams which are playing on a given weekend have to win for a Perfect Football Weekend&#153 to be declared.&#160 As usual, I just care about my teams – I don’t give a flying fuck about your&#160 teams; that’s what the comments are for.&#160 And participation in PFW threads are most welcome.

We’ll crank up things next week or so, once the games commence.&#160 See you then.

And so it begins.

Union thugs & goons attacked senior citizens and other protestors last night at townhall meetings in Tampa & St. Louis.

This comes on the heels of Al-Obambi encouraging their brownshirts to “punch back twice as hard” against America’s citizens during these meetings.

You people who’ve wrung your hands in angst every time one of us mentions a second civil war?&#160 Think this all can be resolved sans&#160 bloodshed and violence now?

War is coming, people.&#160 Bank on it, and prepare.

And it’s such a shame, too – the poor boy was actually going to cruise to a win next November.

To Hell with all that now:

I’m very sorry to see that Pat Toomey, the Republican candidate for Senator Specter’s seat, has come out in support of Judge Sotomayor’s nomination on the feeble ground that the Senate’s confirmation role “should be limited to determining whether a nominee is well-qualified and within the legal mainstream.” According to Toomey, “judicial ideology is dealt with when we elect a president.”

No, Toomey, you dumbass, judicial ideology is “dealt with” anytime before you doofus fucks vote to confirm the nominee.&#160 I’m not sure whether this will ever get through that thick-assed head of yours, but we don’t send conservatives to Congress just so that they can be a fucking rubber-stamp to Demoscummic pussies trying to plug racist bitches in for lifetime appointments to the highest court in our land.&#160 We expect just a little more thought and effort&#160 from people who aspire to represent us like that, y’know?

Apparently not.

Damned shame you had to expose your liberal ass like this, Toomey.&#160 Guess it’s a good thing you never made it to Capitol Hill.

(Grudging hat tip to Politico, via Michelle.)

Just come try it, Lanny, you needle-dicked, cocksucking little coward.

Let’s have the media name names, publish photographs, and do interviews of those responsible for approving, even organizing these techniues. And let’s find an investigative journalist – are there many left – to prove these so-called grassroots shouters are, or are not, being paid.

Iowahawk’s weird-assed humor aside, the problem with this article is that I could easily see Sphincter, See-tool-yus or any number of Congressvermin writing it in all seriousness.

Keep y’all’s powder dry, Denizens.

So I’m reading at the Spectator blog about how Chuckie Schmuky Schumer (D(umbshit)-NY) has referenced a September 15th deadline for the destruction of the American economy passing a “health-care” bill.

And the money quote:

“If we cannot produce a bipartisan solution by then, you have to wonder if the Republicans would ever be willing to agree to anything,” Schumer, a New York Democrat and member of the panel, said on a conference call with reporters.

And the thought came to mind:&#160 Why should&#160 we agree to any of the Demoscum Party’s bullshit?&#160 Where it is written that we have to agree to any&#160 piece of crap these bastards toss against the wall?

These leftist fucks are Congresscritters & Senators – not&#160 overlords.&#160 My Congresscritter & Senators, Schmuckhead, don’t have to do a fucking&#160 thing your skanky ass commands – you got that, dipwad?

Suggest you learn to live with it, Chuckie.&#160 Your kind’s gonna be out of power soon enough, and then you have to live under this crap, same as we do.

And oh, won’t that&#160 be fun?&#160

Denizens, the other day your humble correspondent won a couple of tickets to the Dallas/Fort Worth edition of the Sean Hannity Freedom Concert, starring Billy Ray “Miley’s Dad” Cyrus (grin), Charlie Daniels, Michael W. Smith, Lee Greenwood and Lt. Col. Oliver North.&#160 I therefore dragged the Fianceé Unit&#153 along with me for the soirée.

Greenwood kicked off the event, doing some old stuff, one of his new tracks from an album he’s apparently just put out, plus a passable rendition of Messina’s Please Come To Boston&#160 that, while not great, was listenable.&#160 And, per tradition, he closed with his signature, Proud To Be An American (God Bless The USA), which received the obligatory standing-O.

After the requisite introductions by Hannity, which included emcees Mark Davis & Hal Jay (neiher of whom bothered to stay for the whole thing, I might add), Charlie Daniels came out to the absolute loudest ovation of the evening.&#160 Charlie got right to it, blasting away with the fast-paced, foot-tapping honky-tonk sounds for which he is so well-known, including several solos from his two guitar players (sorry, no ID’s, they weren’t intro’d last night).&#160 And as long-advertised, Hannity came out and sang lyrics to Devil Went Down To Georgia, with exuberant (if neither aesthetic nor on-key) backup from the aforementioned Mssrs. Davis & Jay.

Michael W. Smith sans&#160 band came on next.&#160 Backed by only a Yamaha keyboard, he crooned his signature songs – Place In This World&#160 and Friends, plus a tribute to those killed on 9/11 (the name of which I didn’t catch, sorry – hey, I don’t get paid to write these reviews, mkay?)

The show closed with Billy Ray Cyrus rocking the house with a number of tunes, including Where Am I Gonna Live, Some Gave All&#160 and ending with his signature Achy Breaky Heart.

Interspersed amongst these sets were brief remarks from Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (RINO-Texas), Texas governor Rick Perry, Congressman Sam Johnson (R-Texas) and the aforementioned Lt. Col. North.&#160 Each received a warm welcome, some warmer than others.

Best line of the night came from a four-year-old to whom Hannity was giving some mic-time – whom, when asked if she knew what country she was in, responded, “Texas”.&#160 (Biggest standing-O of the night.&#160 Out of the mouths of babes…)

A wonderful time was had by all, and much money was raised for the Freedom Alliance, which assists the children & families of those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for this country, for whose service this correspondent is eternally grateful.

Anyone wanna bet that this case ends up in a mistrial?

A Dallas County judge ruled Thursday that Dallas County prosecutors unfairly struck minorities in seating an all-white jury to decide the fate of a black man facing the death penalty.

State District Judge Mike Snipes ordered that a black man that prosecutors bumped be placed back on the jury.

So now we have to have a jury that “looks like America”.&#160 ‘Course, if this turns out to be anything like the Zoe Baird fiasco, the wheels of justice in Dall-ass County are about to come grinding to an extremely noisy halt.

The judge’s decision is rich with irony.

Dallas County prosecutors have historically and notoriously struck jurors because of race. The district attorney’s office of decades past even sent out memos ordering prosecutors to not pick jurors because of their race.

But now Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins is the first elected black DA in the state. The lead prosecutor in the case, David Alex, is also black. The defense attorneys, Brad Lollar and Doug Parks, are white. So is the judge.

Hmmm.&#160 Given Watkins’ penchant for using DNA to get all his homies off scot-free, one wonders if the jackass will work as hard for conviction as he would for a cracker, hm?

“David Alex [Lead prosecutor -DV] and all the attorneys that picked that jury were not thinking about race,” Watkins said. “We have an element of race in our system. It’s played a role before. That doesn’t mean it’s played a role today.”

Last month, the DA’s office added to its employee handbook a section about race and jury selection. Prosecutors were told that if a challenge based on jury selection was upheld, there would be an internal investigation.

Watkins said jury selection in the Broadnax case would also be investigated. But Watkins added he doubted there would be a problem because Snipes did not find fault with the DA’s office and because prosecutors had already examined the decisions.

But Katy-bar-the-door if it were Watkins’ predecessor – who just happened to be white.&#160 They’d have to pull Sharpton, Jesse and&#160 Bambi down here to protest that!

Alex said that prosecutors had valid reasons for dismissing him.

“We would be putting him on because of his race,” Alex said during the hearing. He said that seating the juror would tell white jurors “we don’t trust you because you’re white.”

That’s what the black community thinks already, Mr. Alex.&#160 Didn’t you get the memo?

Count on a few hundred thousand dollars wasted on this case when the mistrial is called.

(Inspirational hat tip to American Thinker.)

Denizens, have a look at this.&#160 This shot was taken after Bambi’s Beer Summit&#153:

Now look at this one, where Dubya takes time out from being Leader Of The Free World&#153 to give a hand to a Democrat who rarely (if ever) had anything nice or good to say about him:

It’s said that the measure of a man can be taken by how he treats those below him.&#160 (Yeah, I know that’s probably not the exact quote – just work with me here, mkay?)

Telling, I tend to think, that the Ayatollah didn’t have time to help him whom was supposedly his good friend&#160 and maybe even one of his mentors over there at Hahvahd – but the man who arrested him the other night, Sgt. Crowley, was gracious enough to give Skip Gates a hand, just as Bush did with Byrd.

Or perhaps the Teleprompter of the United States didn’t instruct Ol’ Jugears to do so.

Very telling, indeed.
