Well, There goes my Favorite Parody of "I Like Chinese"

Amy Proctor - Blog - French Foreign Minister Calls Code Pink 'Stupid' During Interruption tells of the French president referring to Code Pink as "stupid".
You fellow Monty Python fans remember Eric Idol singing "I Like Chinese". Well Glenn Beck did a quite amusing parody called "I like the French" It goes something like this:(note: I'm working from memory here, He has it on his website but you have to be an Insider to get to it)

I like the French
I like the French
L like to club them with a wrench.
They're rude
They're hateful
and their language makes no sense

Now along comes a new president who does not have the backbone of a chocolate eclaire like his predecessor. I may have to stop singing this.

Col. Cut-n-Run Sticks by his Stupidity

blonde sagacity: Murtha Refuses to Apologize to Marines is a headline that should come as no surprise. His claime all along has been to the effect of, "Well that's what I've heard." Now, as a private citizen he is entitled to form an opinion on the matter. That is not what I question.

My problem with him is the fact that he, as a member of Congress, publicly pronounced the eight Marines in question guilty. He did this without the minor formality of a trial, indictment or even an investigation.

Now, one by one, the charges are being dropped. Being the man that he is, did Murtha offer an apology to those who have been exonerated? Nope! Afraid that would be expecting too much from him. Maybe he's waiting until it's all over before issuing apologies...yeah, right.

Gone too long!

Yes, I have been away for a while. Since I've been gone, my oldest has Graduated magna cum laude and headed off to grad school on the left coast.
The youngest has joined the Army and is home on a 30 day con leave when he and about a 3rd of his basic training platoon came down with mono. Not sure how it happened but the suspicion is bad sanitizing practices on the canteens issued when they arrived on base. So don't bother with the don't-ask-don't-tell jokes, they've been done...to death.
See y'all again soon.

Intermission

Our main feature will be back up in a few days, in the meantime, this is some fun from the 50s

More like "Because of" Rather than "Despite"

I'm baaaa-aaaack. Sorry about the long absence.

I don't watch award shows anymore. They have become little more than forums for self absorbed celebrities. Am I the only one who is NOT surprised by the Dixie Chicks doing well at the Grammies? This is a group who had to cancel concerts because people were not buying tickets. Why weren't they buying tickets? Because many viewed the Chicks anti-American and wanted nothing to do with them. Nobody is fooled by these awards, they won big at the Grammies precisely because of their anti-war, anti-military stances.

In a day where Oscars are handed out to movies that have "sprint audiences" (friends and family) simply because they or their stars are "on message" last night's Grammy Awards should come as no shock.

The Distinguished Gentleman from Talos IV

I heard about David Wu's Vulcan/Klingon analogy while driving home last week I thought it was bad enough that a Member of Congress would make such a comment. The fact he refers to "real Klingons" makes the guy even more laughable. If this silliness was not bad enough, it turns out he made the comments on the floor of the House.
See for yourself:


Just a note, Mr. Wu, if you are going to throw out the "chicken hawke" meme, it might be taken more seriously if you had served yourself. If you had served, why did you omit it from your official congressional bio?
I can almost hear James Trafficant's signature, "Beam me up, Scotty", not that Trafficant really believed there was a "real Scotty".

Sure, It's not the Stanley Cup, but...

It is a story worthy of the Stanley Cup. However, it is about the Liberty Bowl trophy. First a little background. Until 1995 USC (That's the University of South Carolina, not the pretender on the west coast who named themselves for a people who were fooled by a wooden horse) was 0-8 in bowl appearamces and held the record for the longest bowl losing streak (thank you, Notre Dame for releaving us of that "honor" this year). You would think that somebody would have noticed that the trophy was missing.
Well it was and it wasn't. According to The State | 01/06/2007 | Liberty Bowl trophy takes slow ride home to USC it had been entrusted to the team's long snap center, senior, Scott Morgan. Well, Mr. Morgan slept through his wake up call and missed the team bus to the airport, and, consequently the plane back to Columbia. Fortunately some of his friends were still in Memphis so the trophy rode in the backseat between two passengers. They did stop at a Hooters in Conyers, Georgia where it sat in the back seat covered by jackets (didn't want any UGA fans to get any ideas).
When asked if they did anything like drink beer out of it like has been known to be done with the Stanley Cup they replied that they did think about it, but the bell would not turn upside-down. The trophy did make it back undamaged except for one big crack, but it was supposed to be there.

I finally decided to make the move over to New Blogger now that it's out of beta.

You can pretty much guess why.

The HP Postie Patrol

This is a sponsored post, so no whining that it looks like a commercial. It is a commercial.
I like HP. I have two of their printers, one of which is almost 8 years old and still works, it just does not suit my needs any more. The newer one more than meets my needs. Their "Picture Book" commercial stands as one of greatest of all times, in my opinion.
Now the folks at HP Digital Photo Printing have come up with the Postie Patrol. Basically they send you on a scavenger hunt for cash and prizes. Something like this:


Wasn't that fun? I loved the way she didn't panic when they kept telling her she was running out of time. Her attempt at making a snow angel in snow that had frozen over was rather entertaining too. Would I welcome the chance to participate in the Postie Patrol? Heck yeah!

Troll

As some of you may have noticed, we have picked up a troll. KEvron was stirring stuff on Amy's blog and I called him on some comments that read very much like what you see paedophile apologists use. KEvron has now opened a parody of blog which basically says I'm either a beastial-peadophile or a paedophiliac beastiality freak. I am neither, but those of you that know me already knew that.
By the way, KEv, Gregory James Malone whom you libeled (or would have were it not for the fact that there is a common law doctrine that holds a dead person cannot be libeled) was killed by your alQuada buddies on 9/11.
You are pathetic.

I've Gotta get me One of These

But Seriously, Folks...

Here's wishing you and yours all the joy and blessings of the day. Sure it's fun to have a few laughs like the Red Green bit below, but take time today to to reflect on who's birthday we are celebrating and share His love with those around you the other 364.

Merry Christmas

Here's Red Green to shgow us how to handle Christmas dinner when you have to travel:

They Never Learn

ZUCKER TAKES ON THE IRAQ STUDY GROUP AND JAMES BAKER speaks for itself. We apparently have not learned the lessons of Neville Chamberlain.

Mr. Kinkaid Connor, Danny Partridge here. You are Owned.

Usually if you are posting videos in support of a stupid idea you usually don't post the ones that make you look like a moron. Apparently John Conner had not heard this when he posted this:



Maybe Mr. Conner needs to be like the Hardly Boys and get a clue:

Impeach Mike NIfong...

...now! From the Assocoated[with terrorists] Press viaSister Toldjah the case against the Duke Lacross players continues to unravel and Mike Nifong still has his job. Amazing. Unfortunately, living in SC writing the appropriate people in NC government is useless so we're counting on you NC people.
NIfong started trying this case in the press and when it started going south he cried, "foul".
He said there was DNA evidence...aaaaccckkkk...Wrong
He said the victim claimed no condom was used, but fails to explain the lack of DNA.
His "witness" was shopping her story around before coming forward.
Again, why does this poor excuse for a prosecutor still have his job?

RockStartup.com :: The Reality Show about PayPerPost

A PayPerPost.com post

I love capitalism. I love entraprenuers. You know, the guys who see a market and go for it. People like the folks at PayPerPost.com. Well, they have captured the trials and tribulations of their growth in the popular reality tv format.
RockStartup.com :: The Reality Show about PayPerPost:Episode 3 shows the gang's move to larger diggs. Anybody who has ever self-moved, either home or business, can readily identify with the contractor frustration , etc you will see in here. It is well worth the few minutes it takes to watch this. Whether you have been through this or are thinking about starting a business.
You will also see negotiations with radio advertising people. I plan to go back to watch episodes one and two later. Here, for your enjoyment is Episode 3:

Finally, Someone Calls Him on it

Thanks to MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy I am missing having cable and C-SPAN. If I still had it I would have been able to see this as it unfolded.
Here's the set-up: Grinnin' Jimmy is on Book Notes hawking his latest travesty book and is taking calls:



Of course the host comes to his rescue.

Let's See what Kind of Play This Gets

Remember back in October how all we heard about how a certain congressman from Florida was evil incarnate, and how nobody's children were safe around Republicans? Remember the "bent-over page" jokes? Most importantly, remember how Republicans by-and-large shunned the guy when it came to light? I remember it all ad nauseum along with the Democrats' claim of moral superiority when it comes to their lack of toleration for sexual misconduct with children.

It seems their intolerance works only one way (big surprise). according to WorldNetDaily: Court shocker: 10 months for kiddie porn producer They not only tolerated, but actively lobbied for a light sentence for a child pornography producer named Andrew Reed. While Foley's conduct was reprehensible, at least it involved people over the age of consent in DC. This guy was using children as young as six. Reed was facing a possible 81 years, he got 10 months! 10 months! That is no typo.

It gets better, some of his supporters think that was too much!

And Oralene Graves-Simmons, a Democrat [emphasis added] who leads the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Association of Asheville, wrote a page and a half extolling Reed's virtues.

"When the decision was made in 2001 to incorporate the Association as an independent non-profit organization, Andy was instrumental in making it happen. He wrote the new organization's by-laws, revised and edited its incorporation papers, and, with me, determined the makeup of its founding board of directors," Graves-Simmons wrote.

"It was for his ten years of dedicated service that last January the MLK Association honored Andy with the 2005 Community Humanitarian Award," she wrote.

She noted he's also served on governing or advisory boards to the Montford Park Players, a theater company that operates each summer.

"Andy has spent all the years that I've known him bringing people together regardless of race, creed, color, or other differences, gladly working with anyone and everyone, and doing whatever needs to be done, to accomplish our mutual goals," she wrote.

Nice to know Dems only support child pornographers who are active in local political/cultural issues. At least he won't be permitted around children when he gets out. Unfortunately the ones who are children when he went in will still be children when they should be well past retiremant age when he should get out. The next time a Democrat mentions Mark Foley, just mention Andrew Reed and how they rallied behind him to get a light sentence. This is worse than their standing ovation for Gerry Studds.

By the way, the prosecutor responsible for this travesty is a Democrat (another shocker there).
