As our cameras fade in from back, we see the scene is the Southern Command Battlestaff War Room.
Supreme General Rayegun and his XO are clearly discussing something of high level importance and it appears that it also is something that has a shortish deadline that is rapidly approaching. As we zoom in closer, the XO, Major Picardy is speaking:
[XO]: Are you sure about this General? You would be going out in public with relatively little visible protection. Has the Generalette agreed with this?
[SG Rayegun]: Yes XO, I’m very certain about this and it was the Generalette’s idea to do this in the first place!
[XO]: Understood sir. What are your orders?
[SG Rayegun]: Get Venomous on the horn, he’ll want in on this and anyways it’s in his sector.
[XO]: Yessir. I will advise once he is on the comm.
Our cameras fade to black again.
So what is this mysterious semi-covert operation being planned? Why would the General need Darth Venomous’ assistance on this? And what could be going on in Darth’s own backyard that he hasn’t said anything about?
Stay tuned next week, as we learn more about the mysterious meeting.
In case you missed it, the Al-Obambi email address “flag@whitehouse.gov”…..that email folks can snitch..errr brown nos….errr….report false information concerning The Great Messiah’s Healthcare plan propagated by non-believers…..right-wing wackos un-American citizens…..has been shutdown. As reported earlier today on the Drudge Report and shortly thereafter by Fox here, or here, it’s clear that Al-Obambi’s regime (or at least somebody with their head OUTSIDE their arse) got a wakeup call from somewhere that spelled it out in small, short, monosyllabic words that their “fishing” trip was just a wee bit UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Generalette had a good idea. Shoulda sent in an email stating that Al-Obambi and his Healthcare “czar”, and even Hitlary have been passing “fishy” information for YEARS now. Why don’t they quite wasting time (and our tax dollars) on a clearly unconstitutional information grab and get out of the way and let the real people get the job done!
That’s my Generalette!!! She’s got the right idea.
Even by first-game standards, it was brutal.
Dallas 10, at Freakland 31
Arizona 10, at Pittsburgh 20
The Steelers’ defense looks even more fearsome than it was last year.  Uh, oh.  (And yes, I’m only counting the first-stringers against the Cards’ starters.)
…
You can generally tell what kind of night it’s going to be for Our Heroes™ by looking at the first offensive series.
So when Isaiah Stanback brings the ball out, gets tripped at the seven, then the C’boys lose  two yards on the ensuing three plays, that sinking feeling sets in.
Sure enough.
Some notes I scribbled during the game:
* Pray for the health of the C’boy starters.  The backups are shit  and I do mean all  the fuckin’ backups.  They made the Freakland Raiders’ backups look like the 2007 Patriots.
* Say goodbye to Courtney Brown, Cory Proctor, Willie Reid and Patricia Watkins, especially Proctor & Reid.  Proctor blew a snap that cost Dallas at least three, and likely seven.  Reid muffed a punt that led to yet another Freakland touchdown.  Brown is even worse at coverage than Jacques “Blackened Cajun Toast” Reeves; Watkins isn’t any better, getting burned for yet another score.
* The starters recovered from an extremely inauspicious start to mount a very nice touchdown drive (pass from Romo to Witten, which should irritate Widdle Terri Owens no end).
* Gerald Sensabaugh made up for an extremely questionable pass interference call with a jarring hit on a Freakland receiver, causing said receiver to drop a sure catch.
* It’s only one game, but I’m inclined to think David Buehler is a better kicker than Nick Folk.  Guy’s got a howitzer for a leg, and already has one more touchback this year than Folk had all last year.
* Jon Kitna’s got a better arm than Brad Johnson, but it won’t mean shit if he throws picks like Johnson did.
A very forgettable game.  This had best not be a harbinger of things to come, if Coach Stay-Puf wants to be back next year.
The PFW will return Friday, when I’ll be fighting through Hell™ and traffic (but I repeat myself) just to get home to watch the game.
