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

I understand that our Fearless king and tyrant’s football team had issues this past week? 😉

Fox News Channel (Bret Baier) has just reported that the Asphyxiated Piss AP has just called the Massachusetts special election for US Senator for Republican Scott Brown.

Party!&#160

UPDATE:&#160 Yahoo! News confirms.&#160 BWAHHHHHHH…~!!!!1!!ONE!1!

Many years ago, an young man was having a great deal of trouble keeping himself and his family afloat financially. It seemed that he simply was unable to make enough to support his family, and was always going to friends and family asking for help. It was not until his friends and family got tired of always bailing him out, and simply cut him off, that the young man began to actually take care of business.

Folks, I was that young man, and I still am not the world’s best in the realm of money management. I have however learned that one must spend no more than one makes. I also learned that often generosity can hurt more than it helps.

All this came to mind last evening when I read this piece by Vox Day.

Once again the USA is demonstrating that we are the most generous of nations, but are we truly helping the people of Haiti, or are we simply enabling them to remain a charity case.

I do not have the answer to this thorny question, I simply throw it out for folks to consider.

Generally, I don’t care to get into flame wars with other bloggers.

MERLIN:&#160 What about Mykki Chickenshit?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Exception to the rule.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 And Michael Crook?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Pussy extraordinaire.&#160 He deserved his&#160 beatdown.

KORRIOTH:&#160 And the dipshit over at Pillage Ain’t Chicken Pot Pie?

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 And…

VENOMOUS:&#160 Awright, all right&#160 already!!!&#160 I get&#160 it!

CREW:&#160

Anyway…

But when a blogger keeps playing Johnny One-Note on an issue, and I innocently ask a question to find out what’s going on, bring up a valid point or two – go out of my way to not be combative, in fact…

MERLIN:&#160 WTF?!

KORRIOTH:&#160 Who are you and what have you done with Lord Venomous?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Oh, pipe down.

…and I get a buttload of snark&#160 in return – well, you just know&#160 how that’s gonna set with me.

MERLIN:&#160 Now that’s&#160 more like it.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Pass the popcorn, this is gonna be good.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Stewed gagh&#160 for me, if you don’t mind.

Awright.&#160 This all started back in October, when the American Conservatives Union, led by some jerkwad named Little Davey Pants David Keene, offered to back FedEx in a nasty legislative dispute involving the National Labor Relations Board and United Parcel Service.

For a small fee – say, two to three extra-large.&#160 (That’s “million” for those of you at the Church of the SubTarded.)

The initial letter, available here (Adobe Reader required), reads more like an offer to become sort of an advertising agency/marketing firm for FedEx in the dispute.&#160 Phone calls, radio/TV, the whole nine yards.&#160 FedEx, however, already in possession of its own corporate communications department, rightly spurned the offer.

Whereupon Little Davey Pants David Keene promptly signed off on a letter supporting UPS’ position.

Quite the mercenary, isn’t he?

This episode eventually cost former KFI radio host John Ziegler a spot at the Western CPAC convention when Little Davey Pants ol’ Keenie couldn’t be tasked to answer Ziegler’s questioning on the scandal.&#160 And, in part because of this, Sarah Palin opted to bypass the national CPAC convention this year in favor of a lesser-known Tea Partiers’ convention.&#160 For which, she earned the wrath of one Dan Riehl of the Riehl World View&#160 blog (located (for now) on the blogroll).

I’m hearing through sources Sarah Palin is getting $75k to speak at this Tea Party convention. Can anyone confirm that officially? That’s a lot of damned tea. (emphasis added -DV) The only acceptable rationale is this is not a grassroots event, as she claimed she wouldn’t charge tospeak at one of those. Has she ever done that?

I saw via the site they are asking local groups to pony up 10 or 20 bucks an individual to send in their “best” representative. It’ll cost them well over a grand altogether with hotel and such, more in many cases unless they drive.

Like I said, probably just another day in American politics.

Which, presumably, is a slap in the face of Sarah Palin, since most of us consider her to be more than just your average politician.&#160 (And in fact, not even a politician anymore, seeing as she’s no longer in public office.&#160 That, however, is another story for another post.)

Next:&#160 Part II

Really, Chucky Schmucky?

Well, Schmuckster, you’re&#160 a son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch pussy!

How about that – eh, motherfucker?

Folks, this may put me at odds with LSPK&T and the official position of this fine example of bloggery.

After seeing this article, I have just about decided that the smartest move for Israel would be for them to tell the US to take our money and insert it into that portion of the anatomy best loved by Barney Frank, that they will protect themselves, and determine their own future. Our ditzy politicians just can’t seem to figure out that for all their faults, Israel is not only our best friend in the Middle East, but they are also the only really free country in the area.

(Hat tip:&#160 LC Terrapod from the Rott chat last evening.)

Denizens, this’ll be the best eight minutes or so of your day today.&#160 Trust me on this.

Double-secret-probation spew warnings.

The Mothergoose from Denton (long may she provide me with devastatingly good BBQ rib recip&#233s ) has brought this Ray Stevens instant classic to our attention:

Spew alert – all levels.

The following comments have been attributed to Thomas Jefferson. I haven’t had the opportunity to verify them all, but that does not change the fact that they ring very true.

1. When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

2. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

3. It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

4. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

5. My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

6. No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

7. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

8. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

9. To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

10. Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

What with the economy supposedly&#160 making something resembling a rebound – the resizing of the last quarter from +3.5% to +2.8% down to +2.2% notwithstanding – one suppoes the Demoscum are feeling Pretty Damned Good&#153 about themselves at the moment – at least, with respect to the economy.&#160 They’re even consider a second welfare package, anywhere from $50 billion to upwards of $150 billion.

They might want to take another look from that crow’s nest of this economic Titanic they’re sailing.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue warned the U.S. faces a double-dip recession because of the taxes and regulations under consideration by the Democratic Congress and President Barack Obama.

“Congress, the administration and states must recognize that our weak economy simply could not sustain all the new taxes, regulations and mandates now under consideration. It’s a sure-fire recipe for a double-dip recession, or worse,” Donohue said in a speech providing the Chamber’s outlook for 2010.

Rush has theorized that Al-Obambi is doing this in a deliberate attempt to destroy the American economy.&#160 And to look at things, there’s evidence that Jugears McHopenchange has not only seen the iceberg, but has ordered a collision course, full speed ahead.

Bambi should have a care about what he wishes for.&#160 He just might get it.

So lemme get this straight:&#160 Trent Lott was ripped to shreds for his somewhat effusive praise of the late Strom Thurmond on what was then his 100th birthday, and he’s eventually forced to resign from the Senate.

Meanwhile, Dingy Harry Reid can apparently get away with an apology for describing the Ayatollah as – and I quote:

“light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

And not only that, but he’s got the rest of the Demoscum coming to his defense – particularly those still on the plantation.

(Yeah, I said “plantation”.&#160 Don’t like it?&#160 Come do something about it.)

Separately, the Congressional Black Caucus plans to issue a new statement Monday, defending Reid and brushing back Republicans.

“Senator Reid’s record provides a stark contrast to actions of Republicans to block legislation that would benefit poor and minority communities — most recently reflected in Republican opposition to the health bill now under consideration,” CBC Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said. “I look forward to Senator Reid continuing to serve as Majority Leader to guide this important agenda through the Senate.”

Proving yet again that, if standards are good, double-standards must be twice&#160 as good.

Leftist fucknozzles…

…there must be an equal moment of pain.

#3 Texas Christian 10, Smurf Turd Fuckhead State 17

I don’t know who to be more pissed-off at here – a Blue Shit excuse-for-a-team that proved again&#160 that it couldn’t win playing straight-up football, a fuckheaded coach who either (depending on who you talk to) worked his kids too hard or not hard enough, a 3rd-year quarterback who played like a high-school senior in giving away the game, or the shitty officiating (and yes, sportz fanz – it was extremely&#160 shitty).

So let’s take them in order:

1) A half-assed team of Smurfettes that thinks it’s a lot better than it is.

Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat before I say anything else:&#160 Boise Fucking State is not capable of winning a major bowl game, or a game against any superior opponent, without resorting to trick plays.&#160 The Broncettes are simply not.&#160 Talented.&#160 Enough.

They proved this two years ago in the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma.&#160 They needed a hook-and-ladder trick play just to get the damned thing tied, then they needed the “Statue-of-Liberty” trick play for the winning points.

Then you blue-orange pussies needed a fake punt on fourth-and-nine to keep that next-to-last drive going against TCU.&#160 By then, the Frogs had figured out what the Mares were doing and had stuffed it back up their asses.&#160 Punt the ball there, and we come down, shove it down their throats and either kick the winning field goal or score the clinching touchdown.

So I don’t wanna hear about Smurfdick State being “better” than TCU, or any other college football team for that matter.&#160 You play chickenshit football, you can’t win fuck-all without either trickery or officiating help, and you’re not deserving of a ranking anytime, anywhere, much less one above TCU.

—

2) Pull your head out, Patterson.

The stakes are higher now, Gary.&#160 You’ve proven you can torch the Wyomings, San Diego States and BYUs of the world.&#160 If you want the program to be taken seriously – if you want to not “break the city’s heart” like you kept harping about all during December – now it’s time to win the big games.

And I don’t mean the Poinsettia Bowls, either.

No, it wasn’t the BCS Championship – but it was&#160 a BCS bowl.&#160 There are only four of them besides the championship game, so only eight teams are so honored every year.&#160 Ergo, this honor that was bestowed on you might not be so again for quite a long time – so it’s incumbent upon you to seize the opportunity when it’s there.

And that means that you don’t get “outcoached” on a fake punt that you should have been looking for in the first place.

Seriously.&#160 Up until then, they hadn’t run a trick play all night, and just based on the year before, you knew that that’s their bread-and-butter – and you let them catch you asleep at the wheel on one.

Nice, Gary.&#160 Very nice.&#160 And here I’d gone and retracted my position on you being in over your head.&#160 Guess that’ll show me, won’t it?

UPDATE:&#160 Almost forgot – I mentioned something about the kids being worked too hard.

Was it just me, or did the Frogs’ defense look a step slow in getting off the ball?&#160 Not nearly as quick as they looked during the regular season.

If the Fiesta Bowl had been held only four days after New Mexico, I might understand.&#160 But these boys had over a month between games.&#160 Conventional wisdom dictates that they should have been flying to the ball every down, and that that pussy Kelli Moore should have been on his her ugly ass more often than not.&#160 One has to wonder if they were worn down from over-practicing.

—

3) This ain’t 3A-11 anymore, Dalton.

Andy Dalton has played Oklahoma, TU, Iowa State, Baylor twice, plus Virginia & Clemson, not to mention BYU & Utah, neither of which is chopped liver.

Presumably, these programs all employ defensive coordinators who…I dunno…actually game plan&#160 for TCU.

So tell me how it is, Andy, that both times&#160 you’ve played Smurf Turf State, you’ve performed like a high-school sophomore.&#160 Are they not teaching you how to read defenses and audible at the line or something?

The sad fact is, Dalton, that TCU lost because you&#160 gave the game away.&#160 Your first interception provided the winning margin; your third interception sealed the Frogs’ fate.&#160 In between, you generally performed as if it was your very first college game.&#160 Not what we expect to see from a three-year starter – particularly one we were thinking might contend for the Heisman next year.

Fat chance of that now.

You have a lot of work to do on reading defenses, sir.&#160 Suggest you get to it.

—

4) Eleven-on-eighteen still&#160 isn’t a fair fight.

The Fox Sports broadcast got a nice closeup of Dalton’s facemask getting grabbed & jerked around – no call.&#160 Jerry Hughes got held with the ball in the end zone on another play – no call.&#160 A Frog offsides call – wasn’t.&#160 The aforementioned Dalton first and third interceptions?&#160 Each was a damned good candidate for a pass interference call – except neither one got made.

In the meantime, as usual, TCU couldn’t so much as breathe&#160 on America’s Little Darlings&#153 without getting flagged.

Memo to the BCS:&#160 Maybe next time, you could schedule a little more professional crew to officiate the game.&#160 Say, my little boy’s Pop Warner league crew.

Bastards.

Side note:&#160 The Cowboys’ playoff win against the Beagles counts.

—

Last week:&#160 7-1.&#160 Final 2009-10 PFW record:&#160 61-27 (.693).&#160 Three (3) Perfect Football Weekends&#153 achieved.

That’s it for the Perfect Football Weekend&#153 for this year, Denizens.&#160 It’s been fun – well, for me, anyway; YMMV and all that.

The PFW – or, as the SpatulaGoddess&#153 called it, the Big XII report (grin) – will return in August 2010.&#160 (Well, can I help it that everyone on whom I keep tabs is there now?)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled ranting & raving…

Coach Stay-Puf Wade Phillips and the Cowboys finally – finally – got off the schneid.

Dallas 34, Beagles 14.&#160 The torch – for now, anyway – has passed.&#160 The Cowboys are now officially, provably, better than Philthydelphia.

Good work, Wade.

Now, whaddya got for an encore?&#160

Below is a letter I received that has been circulating through the Blogosphere apparently.  We all remember when Sen. Babelling Boxer-butt (Demonswine – CA) thought it would be cute to admonish Brigadier General Walsh during a hearing on Jun 18, 2009 for calling her “ma’am” instead of “Senator” (cough, cough, gag, gag).

Well, a reply to that incident from a National Guard avaitor and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill is  seen after the break.

This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill.. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry… Long live Alaska !!!!!

__________________________
 
Babs:

You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, “ma’am,” instead of “Senator”. After all, in the military, “ma’am” is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You are not a female of superior rank or position. You are a member of one of the world’s most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the corruption of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunkards (one of whom even killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low-level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, (in order for you to be continually re-elected). Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs that will ultimately end-up in the hands of our enemies. How many congressional representatives could honestly say: “We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor” the way our founders did? None? One? Maybe two of you?

Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served did) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere (ass), now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general’s taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him nationally in front of millions. (You now owe him an apology you will never adequately be capable of expressing).

Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic. This display of bratty behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold and shrew, unfit for your position, despite the support of the “great unwashed”, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of this nation by electing people like you.

What I am writing about are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but they lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Regardless of this fact, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same and they still vote for the ones who will bring home the most bacon, even after considering how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 – 1902) so aptly charged, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, “Mr. Power” has had his way with all of you, and as a result, we are all the worse for it.

Finally Senator, I too, have a title. It is “Right Wing Extremist -Terrorist Threat.” This title is not of my own choosing, but was thrust upon me in the media by your Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano… And you were offended by “ma’am”?!


Have a fine day. Cheers!


Jim Hill

Don’t mess with my military you pigs inside the Beltway.  We take our oath to protect WE THE PEOPLE from “all enemies foreign and domestic” SERIOUSLY!!

For every moment of pleasure…

I’m leaving one score off today’s recap, because it’s getting a post all its own tomorrow – and I don’t want my winners here to have to don their asbestos undies.

But I do have one bonus score (and yes, it’ll count):

Alabama 37, TU Shrimpdicks 21

—

Dallas is peaking at the right time for once, or so it seems.&#160 They caught a Warshington Deadskin team as flat as Rachel Corrie, threw them down, stepped on their throats and then held them there.

Romo was 25-38-286 with a pick that really wasn’t his fault (it clanged off Roy Williams’ hands, as usual).&#160 Jason Witten had a career day, catching six for 117, and the Felix Jones/Marion Barber combo rushed for 121 yards as the C’boys followed up the New Orleans win with a workmanlike effort.

The defense shut down a Deadskin unit that had all but quit on coach Jim Zorn – although injuries did play a major part, the Skins not having either Clinton Portis or Ladell Betts to run the ball, making Warshington about as one-dimensional as it gets.&#160 Zorn would eventually be fired at season’s end.

Revenge Week&#169 followed the Skins game, with Dallas doing to Phucky what Phucky had done to them 12 months ago.&#160 Romo torched the Beagles for 311 yards on 24-34; Jones & Barber added bookend 91-yard rushing days, and Patrick Crayton & Miles Austin each had 90-yard-plus receiving days (Crayton had 4 grabs for 99 yards and a score).

TWGQBEITHOE,E™, Donna McCrabbs, was sacked four times by the C’boys and fumbled twice, losing one that would eventually lead to a Dallas field goal.

For their trouble, the Beagles get to come right back here to The Stadium Just Down The Road From Me&#153 and do it all over again for the playoffs.&#160 That one’s tonight.

In the comments section of the preview, HDD was heard to say:

Jacory Harris is going to get hit like he’s never been hit before. Miami’s receivers are going to feel like they’re getting jammed at the line by semis. Their running backs are going to feel like they’re being tackled by dump trucks.

So, really, the question isn’t “How can the Badgers keep up with the speed of Miami?” (few teams are outright faster than the Badgers), it’s “How is Miami going to handle getting hit like they’ve never been hit before?”.

From the DevilDog’s mouth to God’s ears.

Bucky’s defense pounded the Hurricanes into submission and John Clay pounded for 121 yards of his own as the Badgers dominated.

Scott Tolzien threw for 260 yards, and Montee Ball added 61 yards rushing for a Wisconsin team touted as too big and too slow for the dynamic Hurricanes. None of that seemed to matter when the Badgers were powering the ball down the field.

—

Speaking of the preview, I guess I could consider what I said here a WITY&#153.

Vegas considers it a tossup, but I think it’ll come down to whether or not Arizona’s line can hold Ndomukong Suh long enough to let their quarterback throw.

Uh…no.

Arizona QB Nick Foles’ third pass was intercepted by Matt O’Hanlon and returned to the Wildcat five, Zac Lee bootlegged around the right side from there, and that’s all the Huskers would need.

Arizona set Holiday Bowl records for futility, with six first downs, 109 yards of offense, 51 offensive plays and nine punts. The Wildcats didn’t get into Nebraska territory until the first drive of the third quarter.

Now – this game notwithstanding – all they need is an offense.

—

Memo to rest of the Big XII:&#160 You’ve got at least two more years of this.&#160 Uh-oh.

Landry Jones went 30 of 51 for 418 yards and three touchdowns, all to Ryan Broyles, as Oklahoma overcame a 24-17 halftime deficit to hold off the Cardinal.&#160 The Sooners gave Heisman candidate Toby Gerhart his 135 yards (32 carries) and two touchdowns, and focused on shutting down everyone else.

All they need next year is an offensive line and a running game.

—

As I noted to Widdle Mackie Brown the other night – it’s not quite as easy, even for Texas Third Pro Team&#153, when it’s your&#160 quarterback that’s getting knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury.

[Alabama coach] Saban’s defense changed the tenor of the title game suddenly and startlingly when Marcell Dareus hit [TU quarterback Colt] McCoy, injuring the quarterback’s shoulder and knocking him out on Texas’ fifth offensive play.

“I just heard a thump when I hit him,” Dareus said. “I did lay it down pretty hard. I didn’t try to, but it felt great.”

McCoy was knocked out of the game with what’s probably a pinched nerve, and Bama survived two touchdown catches from second-year pro* Jordan Shipley and two poorly-covered onside kicks to pull away late.

UPDATE:&#160 Chalk up another WITY&#153 for His Rudeness:

Texas quarterback Colt McCoy suffered a pinched nerve in his right shoulder and could not have returned to play effectively in the Citi BCS National Championship Game.

McCoy offered the doctors’ diagnosis after the game. Texas football spokesman John Bianco confirmed it Friday morning as the Longhorns were preparing to leave Southern California after a 37-21 loss to Alabama.

The injury occurred when McCoy was hit by Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus on a run attempt. He left after five snaps, never to return. He said his arm was dead, pain-free but with no strength.

“As far as the doctors have told me, this is a freak accident,” McCoy said. “It’s a pinched nerve. It takes days for it to recover and get healthy again. I just couldn’t throw the ball. If I was playing receiver or playing safety, I would have been playing.

“It wasn’t a question of toughness and pain in this whole deal. It was just a matter of I couldn’t do it.”

Told you.

Heisman winner Mark Ingram gashed the Shortdick defense for 116 yards and two touchdowns, and backup Trent Richardson added 109 yards and a couple of his own scores, as Alabama shut up all the T-sip pussies who were bleating about how good they supposedly were.

—

TOMORROW:&#160 Not good enough to win straight-up…

* Yeah, I said “second-year pro”.&#160 The snot-nosed little weasel has been at TU for six fucking years, bah Gawd (a little Jim Ross lingo, there).&#160 I don’t effin’ care what his excuse was – no college player should ever get any more than five years of eligibility, period.

I note that those were his only two bowl-game catches of his career.&#160 What, was the weenie gonna apply for another medical redshirt had Bama shut him out?

Geeze.
