American Pride

2011-05-20T12:05:00.005-04:00

Uncertain what car show this Camaro was at but love the sentiments. The awesome paint job depicts various components of the Armed Forces doing their job and enjoying being home. I love that the trunk simply states "American Pride" for a lasting impression as it would go by you on the highway. And my, my, my how I'd love to see this beauty tearing up the Autobahn at red throttle speed!

God bless the USA and God bless the troops that protect us from ALL enemies, foreign nationals that hate us, and the domestic liberals that seem to hate us even more.

How To Solve The Economy Problems

2009-04-04T11:48:00.004-04:00

This is reportedly from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

This is far and away the BEST idea ol' Subby has ever run across. I think this guy nailed it and give it a 24 missile salute!

Dear Mr.President,

Patriotic retirement: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million a piece severance with stipulations:
1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing crisis fixed.

All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout".

Hope-n-Change Police Now Enforcing Policy

2009-03-14T20:35:00.003-04:00

Dateline - Washington DC

The One has now given permission for his newest Cabinet bureau - the Hope-n-Change Authority - to begin enforcement of any of the plethora of vapid thoughts and whimsical mutterings that the Obamessiah might utter. In order to do this, they have wired every room in the big house on Pennsylvania Ave including the "second-best bed" just in case Barry mumbles a new enlightenment policy.

And therein lies the problem; although none of the agents were certain whether 'twas The One himself, or Thunder Hips herself, that muttered "tape up any white boy that disagrees with the administration" on the night of March 12th, but enforce it they did beginning the next day. Friday the 13th was indeed unlucky for this un-believer.

I'm Back

2009-03-10T07:38:00.004-04:00

Still wondering about the relative intelligence of the peeple - bless their hearts.

For those that are either first time visitors, or perhaps blind, I am not a fan of that Socialist in minority clothing that we elected. Regardless, I have been praying harder for this President than I have ever prayed for one before:
Because I am afraid of the size of government under this radical of a Socialist,
Because I am afraid of what a radical abortionist is going to do to the morals of the nation,
Because I am afraid of the kind of "friends" he has repeatedly been drawn to in the past.
I pray that he wakes up to the sovereignity of almighty God and reverses many of his publicly stated policies. However, his track record to date is just more and more of what I saw on the campaign trail - rampant big-government bailouts to all but the successful. From those he plans on taking and taking. Oh, and our children, grandchildren and all generations to come; those he plans on taking all from as well.

The question has been put forth before -

"What will it take to destroy the experiment of the United States of America?"

The answer may be unfolding before our eyes through a well-meaning but entirely misguided Socialist administration and their Socialist handlers in the DNC when we as a nation have neutered the opposition. Stay tuned folks, to quote the late, great Bette Davis; "...it look's like it's going to be a bumpy flight..." for the next four years as our economy is given a swirlie. Let's just hope the suction isn't strong enough to pull us down completely.

Seekers Gather at Church of Global Warming Service

2009-03-10T07:21:00.004-04:00

Dateline, Atlanta:

Thousands gathered to hear Arch-Bishop al'Gore speak at a recent service in Atlanta, GA promoting membership and fanatacism for the Church of Global Warming. Those who have previously been horn-swoggled and bought into the lunacy could easily be picked out of crowd due to their insistence on carrying hockey sticks as homage to Al's favorite graph of projected doom and gloom.

The crowd "warmed-up" (pardon the pun) to a feverish pitch generated by Tom's Scientology band - The Crew's Spaceship.

Grape Kool Aid and snow cones were served afterwards while participants enjoyed focus group discussions on the relative merits of various conspiracy theories and government cover-ups.

Weird Theme Meme

2008-11-19T18:54:00.004-05:00

OK,

The rules are: Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences. The CLOSEST BOOK, NOT YOUR FAVORITE, OR MOST INTELLECTUAL!

My entry:

"After Moses came down from Mount Sinai, calling on God became an earmark of his people's successes. The patriarch spotlighted this most dramatically in his farewell address: "What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to Him?" (Deut. 4:7). The other nations may have had better chariots, better weaponry, but that wouldn't matter in the end. They didn't have what Israel had: a God who would respond when they called Him. And note that there was no promised help from God if Israel ceased calling out to Him. Only defeat and humiliation would follow."

Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire - Jim Cymbala

Seriously, this was the third closest "book" but the closest with 56 pages. The first was a training manual from a National Security Personnel System, and the next was the music for the Christmas Cantata we're rehearsing - On This Very Night (Karla Worley, arranged by Lari Goss).

I contacted my 5 by email, but don't expect much from them (you know who you are).

Exclusive First Look At DNC Platform

2008-08-18T21:02:00.003-04:00

Harried Reid and Nasty Pelosi gave Straight Board an exclusive peek at the workings of the DNC. Here we see their version of the Illuminati struggling to achieve a balance of the demands of the party's base constituents and what they think they can sell to the sheeple of this nation.

Nasty, in a rare, candid moment; "The majority of the media is obviously in the tank for us so we aren't too worried on getting called for any of the, errrr, uh, planks that we fabricate. We just have to watch out for being so totally outrageous that even the nutroots won't buy it. Speaking of which - Harried; remind me to explain to the One that nothing should be called 'above my paygrade' when the cameras are rolling."

"Global Warming; It Is A Scam." - John Coleman

2008-08-15T11:58:00.005-04:00

"According to recent news reports, a top observatory that has been measuring sun spot activity predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next 20 years as solar activity slows and the planet drastically cools down. They suggest this could potentially herald the onset of a new ice age. Following the end of the sun’s most active period in over 11,000 years, the last 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now decreasing.

Earlier this year, John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel, stated that manmade global warming is “the greatest scam in history,” adding, “I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a scam.” Coleman said the theory of global warming is based on fraudulent science."

Public Service Announcement

2008-07-06T21:54:00.004-04:00

You have to hope that this study is flawed, but the evidence seems irrefutable. Several months ago, scientists at Heidelberger's Annual Human Reproduction Conference suggested that the results of recent analysis revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption. The theory was that drinking beer makes men either turn into women, or at least take on decidedly feminine characteristics.

To test the theory, 100 men were each forced (yeah, right! - ed) a six-pack each of various brands within a one-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, failed to think rationally, talked excessively without making any sense, became overly emotional, argued over whatever crossed their minds, lost their ability to drive, found they had to sit while urinating, could no longer perform sexually, and simply refused to apologize when wrong.

No further testing is planned.

Remember Tiger Beat Magazine?

2008-07-03T08:17:00.003-04:00

I got this from Army of Mom and found it funny reading her answers. My family passes these "Getting To Know You" surveys around all the time, so here are my answers to AoM's survey.

AoM said...
"can't even remember where I got this magazine, but it is pretty interesting. Called "Movies Rock" thre is a little Q&A on the back page with Bill Murray. The author resurrects a 1967 Tiger Beat interview with The Monkees. They posed the same questions to Murray. I'm going to give it a try:"

How would your mother describe you in one word? Brat*
*My mother has called me that for as long as I can remember whenever I pull one on her.

What is your favorite flower? Don't really think about them that way, but I enjoy buying a bouquet of carnations my wife on my way home from work, especially when there is no reason to get them. They cheer up the room when she puts them out.

What is the most insane question you've ever been asked? "Have you ever made an escape from your submarine at sea?"

What word in the language do you wish you had invented? ludicrous (and I tend to use it too frequently as well.)

Where would you like to live? Anywhere that doesn't have hurricanes, tornados, excessive heat or cold but a nice change of seasons, low cost of living and no property or income taxes.

What is the first quote that comes to your mind? "Nothing is too hard for the man that doesn't have to do it." (Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert)

What animal best describes the kind of (girl) you'd be interested in? Golden Retriever: smart, loyal, beautiful, and easily trainable to do tricks of my choosing

What do you miss about your childhood? The total cluelessness of the reality of having to pay bills.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I'm named after my dad and my great grandfather, both of whom I respect, admire and most importantly like, so I wouldn't change it.

What is the main fault in your character? I don't suffer idiots well.

What is your favorite historical character? Hard to say, probably either Thomas Edison or Benjamin Franklin

Describe how you kiss in one word? Frequently?

What in the world do you least desire? US Constitutional rights for non-US citizens

Finish this sentence, "Happiness is a thing called ..."family"

(Had to agree with you on the last one, AoM, but you were dead wrong on the spinach lasagne...)

What If They Gave A Protest And Nobody Came?

Anti-War activist and potential Obamessiah running mate, Abby Hofman, was less than pleased with the turnout for his "Bush and Cheney Lied, Innocent People Fried;" A Protest Demonstration Extravaganza On The Mall.

They don't show any &*%#(^# commitment to a cause and don't *#&^!*# protest like their %#@(^)^ parents did against 'Nam back in the 60's... now THOSE were protests!"

When reached for comment, Sen. (soon to be President for Life) Obamessiah simply stated that "...wasn't the Abby Hoffman I knew."

Politics 101

2008-07-02T07:21:00.003-04:00

Socialism: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

Communism: You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes them and sells you the milk.

Bureaucracy: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Corporate: You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the milk of four cows and then act surprised when it drops dead.

Democracy: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that you must sell them both in order to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

Social Justice: You have two cows. You are disparaged for your overconsumption, so one cow is taken from you and given to the foreigner who has since emigrated here.

Environmentalism: You are strongly advised to lower consumption so that millions more of the world's oppressed can come to America for a better life. And forget cows. You will eat tofu and be damn grateful for it, if you know what's good for you.

Sources close to the "big" man (picture above is lifesized) himself suggested that "she" wears the burqha not so much because of religious dictates, but to hide the size of "her" Adam's apple and the quantity of facial and other body hair "she" sports. Your ol' pal Subby ain't planning on ever getting close enough to do a package check on "her" because I hate the smell of used camel. If any of you do, let me know what you find...

Interesting choice of pic the AP used for the official declaration of the winning Dem candidate is. Remember the Huckabee hullabaloo over a cross-shaped bookshelf in the background of his Christmas season ad? Seems to ol' Subby that they doth protest too much. The Obamessiah has been anointed by the msm from the very beginning, no vetting of statements, total pass on any speaking or factual blunders, the shooshing of any nay-sayers and a righteous indignation at any challenge to their collective ethical standpoint. The only thing that made it the least entertaining was that the Kkklinton machine got to feel their ire for having the audacity to continue to run after they had selected Barry O and his "I'm proud of Amerikkka for the first time in my adult life" wife as the next Jack and Jackie Kennedy for the nation.

As me buddy Jonathan says: "Nope, no liberal media bias!"

Heckuva series. If that didn't make you a fan of hockey, then you didn't watch.

Valient effort by the young guns of Pittsburg - Great, Great team in Detroit.

Some great officiating (placement of the Ref on the Zetterburg goal that squirted in when Fleury sat on it) and some highly questionable calls (both goalie interference calls in game 6).

Some heartbraking ringers off the pipes by both teams. Awesome hit after hit by both teams. Some lucky bounces for both teams. Some UNlucky bounces for both teams. Amazing goalie play for both teams (Ozzie's shut outs in games 1 and 2, Fleury's effective shutout in all 3 overtimes in game 6). Both team's offensive superstars being held mostly in check by stupendous defensive play. And a few historic firsts (first Newfoundland pro to lift the cup - Cleary, and first European Captain to lift the Cup - Lidstrom).

Great, great series. And now, I expect AoM to live up to the bet she dodged after her team went down a couple games and post an "Ode to the Red Wings, Stanley Cup Champs" on her web site!

Random Thought on the Dems

2008-06-01T08:41:00.002-04:00

No joke, just a serious question.

In 2000, the Dems filed lawsuits in Florida to change the election laws in the state DURING the count, recount and re-recount fiasco. It failed, but set the stage for what happened yesterday with the DNC re-deciding (after the fact) that the "play by our rules or your votes don't count" would be given a "do-over."

The Obamessiah was given a percentage of the delegates from Michigan even though he had not been on the ballot. Would one of you Democrat loyalists give me a straight answer on how this is "ensuring every vote counts?" By my logic:
1. It doesn't add up to letting the popular vote stand on its own.
2. Gives the appearance that Obama is the chosen candidate regardless of the overall popular vote (opposite of what they claimed in 2000).
3. Rewards these two states for thumbing their collective noses at the rules committee and proceeding with the non-sanctioned votes in the first place.
4. Perhaps makes them count MORE by bringing them to the table when everything is in an uproar and brings additional scrutiny (at least by non-msm avenues) to the reversal of the DNC position on total popular vote vs electoral vote.
5. Reinforces (at least in non-msm and non-Dem voters eyes) the image of the DNC changing rules after an election takes place to make things work in their favor.

So, basically, I'm asking WTF?

1 More for Cup Number 11

2008-06-01T08:29:00.004-04:00

Hockey gets no respect -
Jiri Hudler got the game winner last night with a no-look, back-to-the-net, top-shelf, back-hander in about a 4 inch gap between Fleury and the near-side post. Does ESPN even select it for the "top ten" plays of the day? No. Instead we get the same-old, same-old home runs and diving catches. Don't get me wrong; I love both playing (well, did) and watching baseball and the plays were all good, but even a non-sportsman would have been left incredulous by that Hudler goal. Meh!
That was visually spectacular, but for a hockey fan like ol' Subby, the job that Zetterburg did on the Penguins' all-star line when they had a 5 on 3 advantage? That was a spec-freakin'-TACular job of shutting down a team. Osgood was OzGREAT and the total team effort was superb.
One more win and the Wings cap off a phenomenal season with Lord Stanley's Cup for the 11th time.
GO WINGS!

Hey Dude, Didja Hear That We're Endangered?

A Different Kind of "Truth Video"

2008-05-16T20:57:00.003-04:00

Interesting video compilation of a variety of Democrat leaders discussing terrorists, their organizations, and a specific regime that supports them. This is video of them, speaking their own words (and one would assume their own thoughts, however hazardous it is to assume that these individuals think...), and contradicting everything they say now.

Since truth tends to be anathema to most leftists, I don't expect any response, but I do ask one of them to answer this question:

Tell me again how this is "Bush's War" and that "Bush lied - people died?"

By the way, if you are a miscreant troll, you need not respond. I truly would like to get a well reasoned, properly thought out response.

Barry O. Lays Out His US Economic Strategy

2008-05-16T07:49:00.004-04:00

Front-running Democrat Party presidential hopeful Ballsack Osamabama has finally laid out the economic strategy he plans to inflict on the US '...once I am elected President for Life by the Bible-clinging, gun-toting, rubes of this pitiful nation.' As a public service, ol' Subby has reduced the political-double-speak that surrounded the core message for you. Summed up in the fewest words possible, B.O. said;

"I'm... going to... tax... you... for every... penny... you... own... or earn."

Funny how his answer to every problem is to either discuss things with terrorists or add a new tax -

Is Iran threatening to nuc Israel and the US? 'Unlike any before me, MY administration will sit down over tea and falafel and get them to change their minds through better speaking points.'

Are your oil prices too high, Bunky? 'MY administration will tax the manufacturers!'

(Seriously; does ANYone think they won't pass it on to the consumer?)

Teddy the Whale Goes For A Summer Cruise

2008-05-08T09:43:00.002-04:00

Having put an end once and for all to those unsightly windmill power generators off the Nantuckett coast, Teddy the Whale Kennedy rewarded himself with a lunch cruise off the Maine coast. Unfortunately, the AP reports that he was mistaken for Moby Dick and was "harvested" by commercial fishermen. On the bright side, boiling his blubber resulted in aproximately 100 drums of spermacetti.

Obamasama Announces DHS Secretary Pick

2008-05-07T08:30:00.003-04:00

Barry Obamasama has begun releasing his notional picks for Cabinet posts. Starting with Louis Farrikhan as his running mate, duh!, he has also announced he will ask John Edwards to be his Attorney General and to lead the vetting process for all nominees. In spite of the "honor" bestowed on the Silky Pony, B.O. has a few picks already slated:

- Department of Homeland Security Secretary will go to Wild Bill Ayers for his staunch support of America.

- Secretary of Defense will go to Cindy Sheehag because she 'really knows the military structure, and aligns so well with my support of the armed forces.'

- A surprise move of awarding Secretary of State to Rev. Jeremiah Wright following his previous public denouncement of his beliefs indicates that B.O. is operating from a personal feeling that he is firmly in the position of power now, and no longer needs to pretend to care what the rabble think.

- Although not a Cabinet level position, Teddy the Whale will be rewarded for his loyalty with the leadership of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. (Yes, that's the way the Whale wants its name shown going forward...)

Other names and positions are pending the Silky Pony focus group's investigations and recommendations.

Stay tuned to Staight Board for additional breaking news.

(And for the record, B.O. turned 40 that month - slightly older than the "8" he claims for when Ayers was doing all his terrorist activity...)

In An Absolut World - Truth In Advertising

2008-04-09T14:41:00.004-04:00

For those who partake, might I be so bold as to suggest another brand than Absolut? They have taken to being an "agent for change" vice trying to sell their vodka. Recent advertisements include posting the map ad (photo-shopped to a more reasonable position above) that showed Mexico going up to about Washington/Oregon/Idaho and an ad targeted to the homosexual community that addresses the perfect "member." Whatever happened to "selling the product" vice trying to engineer social change?

Interesting side-note; the map of Mexico ad was "only going to be used in Mexico" according to Absolut spokesmen. Question raised in ol' Subby's mind was "If so, why is 'In An Absolut World' printed so boldly in English?"

A "Right To Health Care?"

2008-04-08T07:27:00.003-04:00

Fantastic article by Neal Boortz on the topic at Townhall.com

Excerpt:

"A typical column runs some 800 words.
For some subjects, that’s far too many. One case in point: your “right” to health care.
...
Therefore, you have no “right” to health care.
Deal with it.
Point made in only 200 words. That’s short and sweet."

What IS A "Billion?"

2008-04-03T18:27:00.002-04:00

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases:
1 - A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
2 - A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
3 - A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
4 - A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5 - A billion dollars ago was ONLY 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate our government is spending it!

While this thought is still fresh in your brain, let's take a look at New Orleans.

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (Dem, of course) is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, but what does it mean?

Let's break it down into more personal impact, shall we?
A - If you are one of 484, 674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), then you would get $516 , 528. Not too shabby.
B - If you have one of the 188, 251 homes in New Orleans, you get $1, 329, 787. Getting better, isn't it?
C - If you are a family of four, your family gets $2, 066, 012.

Washington , D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your freakin calculators broken?!?

So, the next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want him/her spending YOUR tax money. And it doesn't matter which party she/he belongs to - earmarks and pork are doled out collectively by all of them.

Fact: Conservatives Give More Than Liberals

2008-04-02T10:23:00.002-04:00

Interesting research that proves that those with conservative values out-give in all ways those with liberal values. I saw a teaser on Fox News that made the claim and did a little internet digging and came up with a good overview article at http://www.beliefnet.com/story/204/story_20419_1.html

I think I see another interesting hypothesis from it. Seriously, no "tongue in cheek" intended. Conservatives are good at giving away their own money and choosing who they think is worthy of it. Liberals are far better and more comfortable in giving away other people's money and not having to make a value judgement on who is worthy; they'd rather let "the government" make the decision for them.

Interesting.

Dick Morris Lists Hillary's Lies

2008-03-26T13:53:00.002-04:00

Former Clinton advisor Dick Morris writes a pretty damning article re Hillary in Real Clear Politics. The entire article is worth the read regardless of who you support.

Excerpt:

"Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here's her scorecard:

Admitted Lies

• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)

Whoppers She Won't Confess To

• She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan.
• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?"

The Hillinator Arives in Tuzla

2008-03-26T13:04:00.002-04:00

According to the latest version of the story that Senator Hillary Rectum Clinton is telling - the then first-lady and specially appointed Presidentially Ambassador and envoy to all combat-zones, '...arrived amidst a maelstorm of machine gun fire, incoming mortors, and at least three inbound nuclear missiles that I saw...' attack upon Tuzla. Bailing out of Air Force One to 'protect the lives of the horribly outmatched and under-manned military, Secret Service, media cotillion and uh, oh yeah, my daughter too; I couldn't wait for the mobile stairway so I swan-dived into a machine gun nest. I grabbed a helmet and manned the gun - a ummm, 376 caliber auto with belt feed as I remember - and laid down a withering counter attack. I did this to give those poor troops a chance to regroup. When they didn't, I nearly ran out of ammo, and had to limit myself to single trigger pulls to conserve. Thankfully, the French, German and Russian troops arrived when I was down to a pair of shells and we were able to mop up the remainder of the resistance. Following that, I was able to negotiate a peace between the Bosnians and the Serbs and eliminated the need for armed conflict. Yessir, it was a good thing I was there...'

Deity Gets Involved In PA Stump Speech

2008-03-16T20:00:00.007-04:00

At an outdoor rally near Scranton, PA, Hillary R-C was regaling a mostly sympathetic crowd with stories of the critical part she had played in shaping world events. Specific events claimed were continually growing in importance, leading up to her claim that "...the entire Catholic-Protestant thing would STILL be going on in Ireland, had I not intervened and sweet-talked the two sides into sitting down over a pint of Guiness..." The photo above occured a split second later and multiple individuals in the crowd swear they heard "Damn - Missed!" rumbling from the clouds.

Ms. Rodham-Clinton's campaign staff quickly issued a formal announcement that "...any references to whichever supreme being/deityyou happen to worship being unhappy with Senator Clinton are preposterous." They then proceeded to quickly cancel all future outdoors speaking engagements and have posted new requirements that in all future indoor arenas, she must always be standing in "a safe place on the ground floor, well removed from any windows or other breakable exterior materials." Herself has taken to making ~~mad dashes~~ rapid waddles from arena to waiting limo and vice-versus, anxiously scanning the sky during the scamper.

I guess an increase to 39 or 40 is more warming than an increase in the surface temp of the sun. (I'm still waiting for the "warmers" to come up with ANY kind of logic that explains why man's impact on Earth is causing the same "global warming" and melting of the Mars ice caps... Anyone? Anyone?

Only available from al'Gore Industries, the "fart bag" is similar in concept to the carbon offset scheme, er, concept. While they do not prevent you from letting rip, they will require you to pay a cash value based on the quantity and quality of collected aerosols that will be applied to allow those that have greater flatulence to offset those that don't.

Ballsack Osamabama Announces Foreign Policy

2008-03-03T18:40:00.004-05:00

Tired of the charges that he's "all rhetoric and no substance," Senator Ballsack Osamabama (Leftard- IL, DNC yes-man, and msm-annointed DNC nominee for President - provided all back-room Clinton machinations go awry), went on the offensive today against John McLame.

B.O. announced that "...IF I ever find out that al'Qaida, al'Islam or any other so-called 'terrorist organization' is operating in one of the sovereign nations that was minding its own business before the Bush administration illegally-occupied it and in which we now find ourselves mired in police actions; why, I'll just invite them to sit down with me to tea so that we can discuss their concerns civilly like the intellectuals that we Democrats are. My opponent, on the other hand, will only do this with Hispanics that have crossed our southern border and forgotten their permission papers through no fault of their own. So the choice is up to you, the people of the United blue States over which policy you think is the more rational and comprehensive."

With that, he doffed his top hat and departed with a mouse.

Are you a good cook? -- I'm a damn good cook, s'long as the wife is cleaning up afterwards...

What’s currently in your fridge? -- Relatively little at the moment - tomorrow is shopping day for us.

Marmite? -- no clue what this is but it sounds like something I'd find dead along US 26.

Do you have a comfort food? -- doesn't everyone? Mine is a bowl of vanilla ice cream with caramel or butterscotch topping. Extra credit for sprinkling dry-roasted peanuts on it.

What’s your favorite restaurant? -- tough one - but Cracker Barrel is probably the one I visit most.

What was your memorable meal? -- Arabian Nights dinner theater.

Do you have a favorite food scene from the movies? -- Food fight in Animal House and when Daryl Hannah eats the lobster in Splash! come to mind.

What’s your favorite cinema snack? -- Popcorn with lots of that "horrible-for-you" theater butter.

Raw fish? -- Absolutely - love sushi ever since I visited Japan, but not a big fan of many forms of sashimi.

What would your last meal be? -- A mile-high lasagna, dripping mozzarella with a bottle of chianti and a few baggets with oil and basil. And a slab of cheesecake for desert.

Which TV cook irritates you the most? -- Graham Kerr.

C'mon, folks. Take your turn with this and let me know you did.

Suggested Republican Ticket for 2008

2008-02-26T20:37:00.007-05:00

A major concern for any of us that believe in conservative values is that Johnny McAmnesty is NOT a conservative. (Need proof? Try to think of any piece of legislation that his name is associated with that ISN'T liberal in nature... But I digress.) One opportunity he has to rally the base is to select a running mate that doesn't suffer from the same leftard leanings of ol' Juan.

Therefore, being the public-spirited stud that I am I am suggesting that he ask Dr. Condoleezza Rice to join his ticket. There is a lot of upside - she's far smarter than he is, she's far more qualified than he is, she's far more experienced on the global stage than he is, she's a helluva lot better looking than ol' Juan, and just the mention of her name makes the Al Sharpton's, Al Franken's, and Dick Durban's of the world go absolutely apoplectic; spitting and sputtering like an epileptic hooked up to a 60 hertz wall outlet!

It would drive the Dems NUTZ with a capital N to have a minority woman running on the Republican ticket against their chosen minority candidate (whether B.O. as the first black or Shrillary as the first hermaphroditic junk-yard dawg or whatever...). She would have some potential to splinter the minority and feminine blocks that the Dems traditionally own (which I've never understood - wasn't Lincoln a Republican?). And finally, she would make a great replacement if/when McLame succumbs to his years. (I know, I know - very morbid, but needs to be addressed.)

By the way; she was forced into making a promise on TV that she wouldn't seek the Presidency. She never made reference to the position of Veep.

Your thoughts or counter suggestions?

Update - 2/27/08 - found an article from last Friday where Dr. Condi stated that she didn't see herself playing a part in this campaign, stating "...it isn't in her genes." While not a categorical rejection, it is pretty firm for her. Crap! Wonder who Juan will end up selecting?

The establishment at the DNC is mistified by the success that B.O. has achieved both in fund-raising and at the primary polls. In order to defuse this momentum, they have released a picture representing the truth (a difficult matter for them at all times) so voters will know EXACTLY what they'll get in a Clinton II White House. The internal memo stated "C'mon folks, stick with the script!"

US Military Begins Ramp-Down For Dem President

2008-01-28T12:18:00.000-05:00

Taking all projection polls to heart, the Joint Chiefs have issued individual guidance memorandum to their respective services. In a nutshell, they say "Looks like a Dem candidate will win in November, and regardless of which one it is, we're screwed. Prepare for 4 years of no funding."

War on Global Warming Weapon Issue

2008-01-21T07:42:00.000-05:00

The wacko's over at the Church of Global Warming have finally found a weapon they can issue with confidence to the foot soldiers of the cause. Each one is manufactured is a carbon-offset friendly factory (each having paid the required fee to alGore hisself for excessive energy use and for the right to use as much petroleum-based plastics as they want). Be warned, gentle reader; while these ass-alt rifles look harmless enough, they are known to fire pellets of compressed Goreacle-isms and those babies are toxic in the extreme to anyone with an ounce of self-motivation and/or entreprenurial spirit.

New Quarterback for the Packers Announced

In a news conference today, Deanna Favre announced she will be the new starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday for their playoff game with the Giants. Deanna asserts that she is fully qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers. During this period of time she became familiar through breakfast, lunch and dinner conversation with the definition of a corner blitz, defense reads, and proper avoidance of media attacks, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense. A survey of Packers fans shows that 50% of those polled supported the move with an abnormally high polling among female fans.

Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed, again with an abnormally high polling among the female democrats.

Hillary's credentials? She has NEVER:

1 - Run a City

2 - Run a State

3 - Run a County

However, she HAS:

1 - Moved her family residence to a traditionally democratic state where her handlers were convinced she could win a Senate seat

2 - Been campaigning for U.S. President ever since

3 - Learned to cry on cue

When told Hillary Clinton has 'experience' because she has 8 years in the white house, Dick Morris stated "so has the pastry chef."

Hillary's Political Career - Word

2008-01-10T11:47:00.001-05:00

Just a personal-preference metaphor for what I think is happening with the Hilldawg's career. Unfortunately, from what happened in New Hampshire, the emotional group seems to have been swayed by the tears she managed to manufacture. If that applies to any of the readers, just ask yourself who she was crying for - the country because we weren't smart enough to be playing our part in her scheduled coronation, or herself because the nation wasn't playing according to her rules and buying in to her scheduled coronation? Either way, it's all about the Hilldawg, not about what's good for this country.

Hilldawg Attempts A "Likeability" Crusade

2008-01-08T11:23:00.000-05:00

Stunned in Iowa and faced with another large loss in New Hampshire today, the "experienced" campaigner Hillary Rodham Clinton has finally come to the realization that she is perceived as a cold, scheming, political carpet-bagger clinging to the coattails and organization of a former President. While not setting well, she is a realist when it is to her advantage and she is attempting to show the "friendly, approachable and likeable side" of herself to voters. Unfortunately, she doesn't have one.

Citizen Mitt - A Candidate For All Americans

2008-01-07T18:08:00.000-05:00

All of the beltway is abuzz over the new Orsen Welles directed Mitt Romney spot released today. The advertisement begins innocently as a news reel detailing Romney's life for the masses. From there we are shown rapid flashbacks from Romney's political life, ending with him standing on the steps at the Lincoln monument giving a stump speech, calling out the word "philatelist," and dropping a snow globe that is tracked as it artfully bounces down the steps and rolls towards the reflecting pool.

Kennedy Clan Washes Up On Cape Cod

2008-01-04T18:38:00.000-05:00

Environmentalists were apalled on the strand at Cape Cod Friday morning upon waking to the sight of the entire Kennedy Clan having washed ashore overnight. Cindy Shehag, spokesperson for the tree-hugging leftists reported that the ultimate cause of this abhorrent event had not yet been firmly determined, but it had been limited to two possibilities:

1 - A BusHitler/Haliburton covert operation

2 - Global warming

alGore has been summoned for consultation. Although his personal Jetstream V has been rerouted to Boston due to runway inadequacies at Cape Cod and a strech limo has been dispatched.
