Item:  In the Texas GOP race for US Senate, David Dewhurst has been…well…decidedly negative.
(And trust me, Denizens – he’s been doing this all  campaign.)
Item:  The ancient Chinese proverb has made its way into this race: “He who sling mud lose ground.”
PPP’s final poll of the Republican Senate runoff in Texas finds Ted Cruz opening up a 52-42 lead, an increase from our survey two weeks ago that found him ahead 49-44.
Item:  Oh, now  Dewhurst decides to start going after Bambi:
G’bye, Davey Pants.  Thanks for playing. 
Denizens, Cthulhu willing & the creek don’t rise (   ), the overview for the Perfect Football Weekend™ will go up Friday or so.  Gotta hurry, ’cause the first Cowgirlz preseason game’s in a couple of weeks.
Watch this space.
Need a good comeback for the OWS libtards that are outside your favorite Chick-fil-A? Here’s a good one! (Found this all over FB)
And this especially goes for you clowns-in-control; Obamaville Mayor Rahm-mie Boy Emanuel, Beantown beanhead Tommy-boy Menino, and the City of Un-Brotherly Love Michael nutjob Nutter.

Gotta love it!
UPDATE: In case you missed it on your local paper or news, today is also Chick-fil-A’s founder S. Truett Cathy’s birthday. Celebrate appropriately and support his business.
Those of you who follow me on Facebook will have already seen this. This past Thursday, Three of my grandchildren were formally adopted by their stepfather. My lovely bride and I are totally thrilled by this development, However I cannot help but wonder at the sort of male who would choose, promote and pay for the legal process which resulted in his children becoming the children of someone else. It is beyond me.
That is the negative. The positive is that now my grand-kids have an awesome dad, and a full set of loving grandparents who just love to spoil their grand-kids.
The Vicar’s cup truly runneth over!
To the General and Generalette! May your love for one another continue to grow.
And as if that weren’t enough (as the General succinctly noted here), the National Concubine of Asshats & Arsekissers decided to collect their own pound of flesh:
The NCAA decision to void all Penn State victories back to 1998 eliminated 111 Penn State victories, dropping iconic coach Joe Paterno from the all-time winningest football coach to 12th on the list.
With the wins voided, Paterno’s official career win total is 298. Bobby Bowden with 377 wins becomes the all-time winningnest Division I.
Bullshit.  Pure, unadulterated, 100-percent non-biodegradeable bullshit.  The NCAA does not have the authority to do that to either Paterno or  Penn State.  JoePa & the Nittany Lions won those games fair & square, and there’s fuck all  the NCAA can do about it.
Suck it, NCAA!  Joe Paterno has just as many wins as he did this time seven days ago.  Kiss Penn State’s collective ass if you don’t like that.
The NCAA has slammed Penn State with an unprecedented series of penalties, including a $60 million fine and the loss of all coach Joe Paterno’s victories from 1998-2011, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Other sanctions include a four-year ban on bowl games, and the loss of 20 scholarships per year over four years.
Not that I give a shit about what happens to the school itself, seeing as it pissed on the Paterno family’s back and tried to tell ’em it was raining.
But if I were them, I’d be on the horn to my attorneys RightFuckingNow™.  The National Cowards & Assholes Association may fancy itself as some sort of college athletics Gestapo, but that doesn’t mean their bullshit has the force of law.
Do it, Penn State.  Bloody their noses a bit and see if they don’t back off.
I dare you.
The following are often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but in reality were published by the Rev. William J. H. Boetcker. That does not, however change the fact that they are as true not as when first penned.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence.
And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
This morning, Pennsylvania State University beclowned itself with an act of sacrilege.
The Joe Paterno statue was removed Sunday morning from its pedestal outside Beaver Stadium, and it will be stored in an unnamed “secure location,” Penn State president Rodney Erickson announced. Erickson also said the Paterno name will remain on the university’s library.
Well, how absolutely fuckin’ white  of Widdle Wodney. 
The decision came 10 days after a scathing report by former FBI director Louis J. Freeh found that Paterno, with three other top Penn State administrators, had concealed allegations of child sexual abuse made against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. The Freeh report concluded their motive was to shield the university and its football program from negative publicity.
Lemme tell you something about Louise Freeh.  This dickhead was the FBI director for one Bill “Kaiser Wilhelm von Slickmeister” Clinton.
You guys do  remember Der Kaiser, don’t you?  You know – the half-assed excuse-for-a-President who had a full-blown affair with one Monica Lewinsky (complete with a cigar up her pussy & everything) – then lied about it to the American people?!?!?!?!?!  That  Kaiser Wilhelm?
Louise Freeh was part of one of the lyingest half-assed regimes in American history.  He himself is a lying sack of shit.  If Louise Freeh were to tell me that 2+2=4, I’d damned sure have a calculator & a couple of computers handy.
Joe Paterno was never charged with a crime.  He never had a fair trial.  His attorneys were never – and still  aren’t – allowed to cross-examine witnesses, whom themselves are shielded by their own  attorneys.  Yet we’re expected, nay obligated, to take Louise Freeh’s word as fucking gospel?!
Fuck.  That.
Joe Paterno, like every other American citizen, is innocent until proven guilty.  He, just like all the rest of us, is entitled to the benefit of the doubt.  Nothing less.
Yet Widdle Wodney Ewickson, being the spineless little dickweasel he is, will take the word of the FBI director of a known & proven liar, and further sully the reputation of the man that defined what previously had been the model college football program for nearly the last half century – and  does it after the man has died, thus leaving him unable to defend himself.
Typical leftard scumbaggery.
Fuck you, Rodney Erickson.
Fuck you, Penn State.
Fuck you, Louise Freeh, you cowardly little needle-dicked son-of-a-bitch.
FUCK ‘EM ALL, THE END!

Thanks, but I think I will protect myself, I have a much better chance of coming out alive!

Just had to post this AWESOME retort to dictator-wannabe Al-Obambi and his commie/Marxist/socialist attitude towards businesses specifically — not to mention anti-American agenda in general…

Excuse me while I very un-General-like ROFLMAO!!!!!

Denizens, we start this week with something out of the Grab Bag™, courtesy of the Sibling Unit™, who just sent this to me.
Dear Airlines:
Dump the male flight Attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers!
What the hell!!
They don’t even serve food anymore, so what’s the loss?
The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a “partyatmosphere” going in the cabin.
And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn’t need a salary, thus saving even more money.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.
This is definitely a win- win situation if we handle it right — a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why didn’t Bush or Obama think of this?
Why do I still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
Well, if that doesn’t jump-start the aviation industry… 
If you’ve read Drudge in the last 24 hours or so, you know that there’s word on the street that Romney is strongly considering Condi Rice for his running mate.
The Vicar & I were discussing this last night (see what you get for missing staff meetings, General?), and we agreed that it would be a highly intelligent pick on Romney’s part. Sharp, bright, extremely intelligent, and brings the necessary foreign policy chops that Mitt simply does not possess.
The downside of that, according to Daily Caller, is that Condi is pro-abortion – and Carl Cameron on Fox News this morning did report that the Romney camp had insisted that he would not pick a pro-abort running mate.
Still, it makes for an interesting discussion.  Of course we’re not keen on Condi’s pro-abort stance, but if she were to be chosen, it wouldn’t be for that purpose anyway.
Besides – she’d be a helluva damned sight better than who’s there now.
Kira Davis – I love you!
