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

Denizens, the time-honored Red Curtain O’ Blood&#153 has once again draped over the eyes of your obdt. svt. (a little Blackie Sherrod lingo, there – and since tomorrow is his 90th birthday, it seemed fitting to make note).

This time…are you sitting down?…at the pro-life movement.&#160 Or rather, at the sheer idiocy thereof.

Specifically, towards one Marjorie Dannenfelser and the dumbshits over at something called the Susan B. Anthony List, which can be found here.

Some background:&#160 Yesterday, during San Fran Nan Piglousi’s chickenshit attempt to ram socialized health care down the American people’s throats while no one was looking (really, who would be paying attention to shit like that on a Saturday, right?), an amendment was offered to HR 3962 by Bart Stupak (Demoscum-MI) and Joey Pitts (RINO-PA).&#160 The amendment…

would bar the new government insurance plan from covering abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger. The Democrats’ original health care bill would have allowed the government plan to cover abortions.

The amendment passed, 240-194.

And I got this rah-rah email early this morning from the aforementioned shit-for-brains Dannenfelser.&#160 It, and my response, are below the fold.&#160 It’s gonna be long – continue at yer own risk.

Dear Steve,

All of your letters and calls paid off!

Tonight the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Stupak-Pitts Amendment to H.R. 3962, by a vote of 240 to 194, with 64 Democratic members voting in favor of the amendment to ban federal funding of abortion in the health care bill.

This is a great victory for the pro-life movement and for all SBA List members who so diligently contacted their Representatives leading up to the vote. With the adoption of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment, the House of Representatives made a principled and sound decision to continue our nation’s longstanding policy of protecting taxpayers’ conscience in the area of abortion funding.

In the coming weeks, we will remain vigilant and shift our efforts to the Senate to ensure that these same pro-life protections are included in the Senate bill. We fully expect that pro-abortion leaders will still try to find ways to sneak abortion funding into health care.

For now though, let’s celebrate this great victory for unborn children and women. Thank you for all of your efforts in defense of Life. Together we can save countless unborn lives.

God bless,

Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List

After which, she (and they) had the ummitigated gall&#160 to ask me for money:

P.S. Tonight we had a great victory for the pro-life movement, but we still have much work to do to keep abortion of health care reform. Please go here if you can give a small gift to support our efforts.

Okay, for those of you who haven’t the foggiest idea where I’m going with this, stick with me.&#160 It’ll become sickeningly clear in moments.

Normally, I would be the first one to cheer for anything prolife-based passing any legislative body – even that of the Imperial Socialist Congress&#153.&#160 And I do subscribe to a theory I heard many years ago when I was first starting out in the online world – you can get a good handle on a politician’s worldview by how he treats the abortion issue.&#160 While this isn’t true for every politician on every issue, it does encompass a great many of them – find out what they think about life, and you can make a good educated guess as to what they think on other issues.

If you think that makes me a single-issue voter, so be it.&#160 Your problem, not mine.

But what the pro-life movement has done – if it has anywhere near&#160 the influence it claims to have – is to hand over one-sixth of the economy to Jugears McHopenchange and the rest of the Al-Obambi Amer-Islamic Communist regime.

Here’s the thing:&#160 By passing the Stupid Stupak amendment, Republicans – no doubt under at least some pressure from Majorie Dannenfelser and the bimbos at SFA – and 64 supposedly pro-life Demoscum gave enough Imperial Socialist Congresscritters sufficient cover to justify voting for the entire HR3962 package.

The bill’s final House margin:&#160 Five votes (220-215).

The kicker:&#160 Without the Stupak amendment, HR3962 most likely goes down to defeat…and there are some in the know who were of the opinion that had that been the case, socialized medicine would have been dead for the next ten (10) years.

Chew on that for a second.&#160 Ten years&#160 of not having to put up with this socialist bullshit.&#160 And probably longer, given this:&#160 The rathole that is the Al-Obambi excuse-for-government will very likely kill Demoscummic chances for anything remotely resembling power for at least the next generation, as no Demoscum will be able to win the White House for the next five election cycles, assuming Bambi stays on his current destructive course (and there’s nothing right now to suggest he won’t).

Thus, it would have been a very&#160 long time before we had to dick around with the concept of government-run healthcare.&#160 A very&#160 long time.

And the pro-life movement just handed it back to them on a fucking silver platter.

In grabbing hold of the good, we on the pro-life side have sacrificed, probably forever, the great.&#160 We have grabbed the all-day sucker that the Left offered us, without bothering to realize that the damned thing was laced chock-full of strychnine.

So, to Marjorie Dannenfelser and the rest of the bimboids at SFA, I have only this to say:

You fools.&#160 You.&#160 Fucking.&#160 IDIOTS!!!!!

FUCK&#160 each and every last one of you Dithering Dumbassed Dolts&#153!!!!!&#160 Because you bastards couldn’t see the forest for the fuckin’ trees, 300 million Americans are gonna eventually be stuck with government-run healthcare!&#160 Multiple millions of Americans stand to lose their jobs over this disasterous piece-of-shit proposed law; many may even go to fuckin’ jail&#160 for it if San Fran Nan Piglousi gets her fuckin’ way, AND FOR WHAT?!?!?!?!&#160 So you shitheads could have your little “no federal funding of abortions” lollipop and go home from the dentist thinking you’d actually gotten&#160 something?!?!?!

HOW FUCKING STUPID CAN YOU PEOPLE ACTUALLY BE?!?!?!?!?!

I never thought I would hear myself say this – but for the first time in my life I’m actually sorry to be associated with the pro-life movement.&#160 If it, as a whole, is not smart enough to figure out that we could have had our cake and eaten it too, had we played our cards right – that we could have resisted the poison-pill amendment and killed the abortion bill outright on the House floor, likely for years to come – then the leaders of this so-called “movement” need to get the fuck out of the way and let more intelligent people take their places.

The fact is, we just got suckered by the Demoscum, big time – and pro-life “leaders” should be exceedingly embarrassed and ashamed at this moment.

With “intelligence” like this on the Right, no fucking wonder&#160 we’re in the minority.

The question was asked on the Rott today – when did any given reader first find That Fine Blog&#153, and what was it like for them?

And LC Ohio Right Wing Nut answered thusly, and sayeth:

I don’t remember how long I have been hanging out, 3,4 years. But I can honestly say I remember first reading a comment section and you guys were beating up on a troll IIRC It was Spats And B.C. doing the ass kicking and my first thought was damn these guys are brutal….I home.

(sniff) They remember…&#160

Called my congresscritter’s office today and let them know that if the congressman votes in favor of any of the healthcare bills currently before Congress, he will not have my vote next year.

I don’t expect it to do any good, this guy is a big time liberal Democrat who believes that he knows better than I what is good for me.

UPDATE:&#160 The House passed the bill by a very slim margin. My Demonrat Congresscritter voted in favor of the Bill. I have informed him that his vote insured that I will never vote for him. I urge everyone who reads this to do the same.

[SCENE:&#160 The Office of Realm&#153 Intelligence.]

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 You do&#160 realize that’s an oxymoron, right?

[Yeah, I know.&#160 ‘S the way he wants it written, so… ]

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 (shrug)

[At the desk, a slimy-looking little fellow has his feet propped on the deak and is looking at Asian hooker Web sites on his computer screen.]

T-BONE MCMANX:&#160 Don’t let Mrs.&#160 Venomous know that.&#160 She’ll kill him.

MERLIN:&#160 McWhorter or His Rudeness?

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Both, if hanging around her this first month is any indication.

[The doors slide open, and in walk Lord Darth Venomous and his executive officer, Captain Korrioth.&#160 McWhorter, the slimy little greaseball in charge of Realm&#153 Intelligence, scrambles to sit up and come to attention.]

MCWHORTER:&#160 My lord, uh, Your Worshipfulness…uhh…

[In one smooth motion, Venomous strides to the side of McWhorter’s desk, calls his lightsaber to his hand through the Force, activates it, and neatly beheads McWhorter.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 You have failed me for the last time, Commander.

[Uh, m’liege…?]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Yes, Minstrel?

[What did he do?]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Oh, I didn’t tell you.&#160 Sorry.&#160 He failed to inform me that UBeefalo played the other night.

[Ah.]

Anyway we’ll talk about that later.&#160 Now that Turner and the boys have officially blown the Perfect Football Weekend&#153, time to talk about the rest of the games.&#160 My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets will play Dunbar tonight for the 4A-7 district championship and the right to go one-and-done as the number one seed therefrom.&#160 Heights seems to have kicked it up a notch from earlier this year, so I’ll pick them to win.

Saturday afternoon, the fourth-ranked (USA Today) Texas Christian Horned Frogs will be in sunny San Diego for a game against the San Diego State Aztecs.&#160 Two years ago, the Azz jumped out to a 17-0 first-quarter lead against the Froggies, and TCU will need to avoid a simiar fate in order to win Saturday.&#160 Vegas has Gary Petterson’s boys as 25-point road favorites.&#160 Wish I&#160 had that much confidence.

Despite UBeefalo’s ineptitude, this wouldn’t have been a PFW anyway, for the simple fact that two of my teams are playing each other this weekend.&#160 Bob Stoopes will take his 20th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners into Lincoln, Nebraska to play former defensive coordinator Bo Pelini’s Cornhuskers.&#160 Vegas has the Sooners as five-point road favorites.&#160 Sounds about right.

Sunday evening will find the Dallas C’boys on the road in Phuckadelphia, Pennsylvania to take on Donna McNabb, The World’s Greatest Quarterback Ever In The History of Ever, Ever&#153 and the Phuckadelphia Beagles.&#160 Dallas is playing better of late, so it’ll be interesting to see if that’s talent, or perhaps just the advantage of the schedule.

We’re back Monday with the recap.&#160 In the meantime, Bucky is a 10&#156-point favorite at Indiana, and my question for HDD is:&#160 Indiana’s not that good…are they?&#160 (Oh, and thanks for the heads-up on UBeefalo.&#160 Want a job in Realm&#153 Intelligence?)

Maybe I’m suffering from a case of blog burnout, or whatever.

But words are failing me over the mass murder at Fort Hood today.

A military mental health doctor facing deployment overseas opened fire at the Fort Hood Army post on Thursday, setting off on a rampage that killed 11 other people and left 31 wounded. Authorities killed the gunman, and the violence was believed to be the worst mass shooting in history at a U.S. military base.

[…]

A law enforcement official identified the shooting suspect as Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

Publicly or not, didja’ll notice what was left out of the little needle-dick’s description?

Yeah, that’s right.&#160 His religion.&#160 Specifically, that of the Religion of Piss&#153.&#160 A cocksucker of the pedophile Mohammed (Piss Be Upon Him).&#160 A devotee of Numero Uno Raghead-o (a little Meskin lingo, there).

In short, a (hack, spit) Muslim&#160 (hack, spit).

For my part, I think the pussy got the ultimate punishment he was seeking:&#160 The death penalty.&#160 He probably died thinking he was going to get his 72 raisins.

My problem with that is this:&#160 He got his punishment too damned soon.&#160 Douchebags like Nidal Malik Hasan deserve to be royally disciplined before meeting their ultimate fate.&#160 Nipple clamps, car batteries and a puddle of water would be a good start.

The Realm&#153 sends its prayers to the town of Killeen, Fort Hood and all the families down there.&#160 We love you guys.

UPDATE:&#160 According to the Weekly Standard, Hasan is not&#160 dead, after all.

I gather that he’ll soon wish he were.

I wouldn’t piss on Noo Yawk if it was on fire.

(With a Tip O’ The Hat&#153 to Rottie commenter MaxMomFl.)

This came from the Made In USA site.

John Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 am.

While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG), and put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).

After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO), to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA), he got in his car (MADE IN JAPAN), filled it with GAS (from SAUDIA ARABIA) he continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (made in MALAYSIA), John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA.

And now he is hoping he can get help from the president (MADE IN KENYA).

Problem is that this is true.&#160 And it’s true because it’s cheaper to make all those things overseas now.

And it’s cheaper, thanks to ambulance-chasing (hack, spit) lawyers&#160 (hack, spit), unions, government agencies like OSHA&#160 who fucking insist on handicap access in fire stations because “well, you never know, you might have a fireman in a wheelchair someday” and pussy-assed faggots who’ll sue at the drop of a hangnail.

Any&#160 hangnail.

The roundabout point to all this?&#160 Most, if not all, of these outrages were brought about by liberal Demoscum.&#160 Libtarded statists who want you to put them&#160 back in office.

And if you do, we’ll just keep getting more of this.

So I’m going to tell you like I tell you every first Tuesday in November:&#160 Vote for whomever you wish – just don’t vote for the Demoscum.

(Hat tip Sister Toldjah.)

Now this is worth a bit of rejoicing, no?

Planned Parenthood has been a part of Abby Johnson’s life for the past eight years; that is until last month, when Abby resigned. Johnson said she realized she wanted to leave, after watching an ultrasound of an abortion procedure.

“I just thought I can’t do this anymore, and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought that’s it,” said Jonhson.

She handed in her resignation October 6. Johnson worked as the Bryan Planned Parenthood Director for two years.

Praise God!&#160

Maybe Patrick Crayton should lose his job more often.

Arlington Heights 34, Eastern Hills 15

at #6 Texas Christian 41, UNLV 0

at #21 Oklahoma 42, Kansas 30

Nebraska 20, at Baylor 10

at Dallas 38, Seattle 17

From the writeup on the Startle-gram’s “hah skrewl” (a little Rush lingo, there) site, DFW Varsity:

Michael Jacobs finished with 107 yards and three touchdowns, and Dennis Brooks had a 61-yard touchdown pass as Arlington Heights won the East Zone of District 7-4A. The Yellow Jackets will meet Dunbar next week for the 7-4A title.

The Jackets escaped by the skin of their teeth against the Wildcats earlier this year, so we’ll see how that goes.

Cody Green made the first start of his Cornhusker career Saturday, and got points on his first four drives.&#160 That was enough, as the Blackshirt defense made it stand up.

Green went 12-21-128 with one pick in his debut, and added 43 yards on the ground as the Nebraska running game managed an okay 145 yards.&#160 (Mind you, I’m comparing this to the old grind-it-out Husker offenses of the past.)&#160 Don Robinson added 61 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.

The defense aided in the cause by sacking Baylor quarterback Nick Florence seven times and picking him off twice.

—

In similar fashion, Oklahoma jumped out to a 28-6 lead, then watched KU chip away slowly, including a nifty little 98-yard kickoff return to bring the Jayhawks within five, before pulling away late.

Landry Jones was 26-37-294 with four touchdowns.&#160 DeJuan Miller caught nine of those for 94 yards and a score, while Ryan Broyles added eight catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns.

Chris Brown & DeMarco Murray each carried the ball 15 times for 83 and 62 yards, respectively.&#160 Murray added two scores.

A last-ditch drive by Kansas was thwarted by cornerback Quinton Carter, who intercepted a Grant Gregory pass with 42 seconds left to seal the win.

—

Antoine Hicks reception for a long touchdown?&#160 Check.

Ed Wesley reception, tackle breakage, run-after-catch for the score?&#160 Check.

Stifling defense?&#160 Check.

Jeremy Kerley pinball punt return for a score?&#160 Well…no.&#160 Nobody’s perfect.

UNLV runs a variation of the Pistol offense, where the quarterback lines up only a couple yards behind center, and the tailback lines up two yards behind that.

For all it mattered to UNLV, though, the gun was firing blanks.&#160 TCU’s defense was all over the hapless Rebel attack; when one removes the 40-yard run up the gut by backup quarterback Mike Clausen (one-fourth of the 160 total yards by the Rebel offense), the rest of UNLV’s plays averaged 2.4 yards per.

This was over early.&#160 Once the Froggies went up 17-0 on a 59-yard jaunt in the second quarter, all 33,541 at Amon Carter Stadium could pretty much tell it was gonna be a long afternoon for the visitors.

Dalton was 12-21-178 with three TDs, but it wasn’t like he really needed to throw much – the TCU ground game was literally steamrolling the Rebels.&#160 Wesley’s 59-yarder was part of a 390-yard ground effort by the locals, with Joseph Turner (64 yards), Matthew Tucker (59 yards), backup QB Marcus Jackson (40 yards) and even Dalton himself (53) gashing the Rebels at will.

(An aside here:&#160 TCU has a freshman back named Skye Dawson.&#160 Watch this one – if your eyes can keep up.&#160 He only had 33 yards on 3 carries Saturday, but this kid has speed TCU fans haven’t seen since…well, since LaDainian Tomlinson.&#160 Yes, Dawson’s that&#160 fast – maybe even faster.&#160 He’s gonna be a good’un.&#160 You heard it here first.)

The defense held UNLV to 118 yards rushing (40 on the aforementioned Clausen run) and only 42 yards passing.

Word was that Patrick Crayton was a bit pissed a couple weeks ago at how the news regarding his special-teams/offensive demotion was handled (he said he wasn’t told about it; Coach Stay-Puf said he was, etc).

Maybe we need to keep him pissed off like that.

Crayton had a punt return for the second straight week, going 82 yards with a minute left in the third quarter that put the game away for the C’boys.

The only contact Sunday came when Crayton stiff-armed punter Jon Ryan in order to break away from the Seahawks’ coverage team for the touchdown.

“You’ve got to make the most of the opportunities you can,” Crayton said. “That’s the only way you can view it.”

All this after the ‘Pokes signed Allen Rossum off waivers to handle the return game, then got hurt on his first try.

Can anyone say “Wally Pipp”?

Romo was 21-36-256 and a passer rating of 108.1 (his third straight week over 100; he’s also gone three straight games now without throwing a pick, a career first).&#160 Miles Austin again led the way for the receivers, catching five balls for 61 yards and a score (Sam Hurd and the much-maligned Roy Williams also caught TD passes for the C’boys).

Romo was&#160 sacked twice, and normally I wouldn’t even mention it – except the sacker in both instances was none other than former Horned Frog linebacker David Hawthorne, making his second ever start.

Five runners, led by Marion Barber’s 53 on 14 carries, led a 125-yard ground attack (Crayton was “credited” with an 11-yard loss on a flubbed reverse).

Hmmm.&#160 Perhaps we need to tell the Barbarian he’s been replaced…&#160

This week:&#160 5-0.&#160 Perfect Football Weekend achieved (2).&#160 Overall:&#160 34-15.

Not sure when the PFW will reconvene next, seeing as I haven’t been able to find a date certain for the Heights-Dunbar playoff.&#160 When next we do&#160 meet, though, we’ll discuss the revenge motive, plus remind Gary Patterson that this coming week is an “attaboy/awshit” game, too.

Stay close and watch this space.

In a move that will surprise the Uninitiated&#153 and damned few else, leftist bimboid, so-called “Republican” and Maggie Sanger Award-winner Dede “Scuzzball” Scozzafava endorsed her fellow Demoscum in the NY-23 congressional race.&#160 (Below the fold ’cause it’s rather long.)

After bowing out of the 23rd Congressional race Saturday, Republican Scozzafava released the following statement today at 2 :06 p.m.:

I want to thank you for your support and friendship. Over the past 24 hours, I have had encouraging words sent to my family and me. Many of you have asked me whom you should support on Tuesday.

Since announcing the suspension of my campaign, I have thought long and hard about what is best for the people of this District, and how to answer your questions. This is not a decision that I have made lightly.

You know me, and throughout my career, I have been always been an independent voice for the people I represent. I have stood for our honest principles, and a truthful discussion of the issues, even when it cost me personally and politically. Since beginning my campaign, I have told you that this election is not about me; it’s about the people of this District.

It is in this spirit that I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same.

It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh’s lasting legacy in the U.S. Congress. John and I worked together on the expansion of Fort Drum and I know how important that base is to the economy of this region. I am confident that Bill will be able to provide the leadership and continuity of support to Drum Country just as John did during his tenure in Congress.

In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first.

Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday. To address the tough challenges ahead, we must rise above partisanship and politics and work together. There’s too much at stake in this election to do otherwise.

Now, former Scuzzyfavabeans boot-licker Newtie Gin-grinch, to his partial credit, has endorsed Doug Hoffman (hopefully, that won’t drag Hoffman down too&#160 much).&#160 But, given the previously-mentioned Grinch shift leftward, one can’t help but think that this is too little, way too damned late for the former Speaker.&#160 Your judgment has had the bottom fall out of it, Newtie, and it’ll be the proverbial Cold Day In Hell&#153 before anyone trusts you as a go-to guy again.

Probably not many people realize it – and I myself stumbled across it purely by accident – but today is Chris Muir’s seventh anniversary of doing the Day by Day&#160 comic strip, avaiable here (or at the link on the left sidebar, if you so choose).
