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:  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:  The Office of Realm™ Intelligence.]
OZY MCCOOL:  You do  realize that’s an oxymoron, right?
[Yeah, I know.  ‘S the way he wants it written, so… ]
OZY MCCOOL:  (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:  Don’t let Mrs.  Venomous know that.  She’ll kill him.
MERLIN:  McWhorter or His Rudeness?
OZY MCCOOL:  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.  McWhorter, the slimy little greaseball in charge of Realm™ Intelligence, scrambles to sit up and come to attention.]
MCWHORTER:  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:  You have failed me for the last time, Commander.
[Uh, m’liege…?]
VENOMOUS:  Yes, Minstrel?
[What did he do?]
VENOMOUS:  Oh, I didn’t tell you.  Sorry.  He failed to inform me that UBeefalo played the other night.
[Ah.]
Anyway we’ll talk about that later.  Now that Turner and the boys have officially blown the Perfect Football Weekend™, time to talk about the rest of the games.  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.  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.  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.  Vegas has Gary Petterson’s boys as 25-point road favorites.  Wish I  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.  Bob Stoopes will take his 20th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners into Lincoln, Nebraska to play former defensive coordinator Bo Pelini’s Cornhuskers.  Vegas has the Sooners as five-point road favorites.  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™ and the Phuckadelphia Beagles.  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.  In the meantime, Bucky is a 10œ-point favorite at Indiana, and my question for HDD is:  Indiana’s not that good…are they?  (Oh, and thanks for the heads-up on UBeefalo.  Want a job in Realm™ Intelligence?)
