BREAKING: Fidel about to go toes up...?
Val Prieto over at Babalu Blog is reporting that the Cuban son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch, Fidel Castro, has "temporarily" turned over power to the other bastard child of his mother's, Raul.
Granted, that doesn't leave Cuba in much better condition. But I'll jump at any chance to see Justice™ carried out, so...
Watch & pray, Denizens. Watch & pray.

Decisions, decisions...
Q: When is it okay to snub a dinner invitation from the President of the United States?
A: When you're an NFL coach trying to teach Daunte Culpepper your offense. (Or making sure Culpepper keeps his curfew - take your pick. 
)
When the White House called with an invitation to dine with President Bush, Dan Marino took it. But the coach of his former team said no.Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban said Monday that his obligations at training camp took priority over a chance to meet the president.
"It was really a tough decision," Saban said. "I feel like my first responsibility is our team. That in no way disrespects the importance of the opportunity I would have loved to have had to spend dinner with the President."
No worries, Nick. Man's gotta have his priorities, y'know.

"Oh, please, Koughing Anus!!! Not that...!!!"
The guys over at Two-by-Four pulled this off of CNN:
"Iran, under a pending UN Security Council resolution, will have until August 31st in which to freeze its uranium enrichment program, or face, at that time, a major discussion here, and maybe imposition of economic diplomatic sanctions. The full Security Council is discussing the resolution now. Potential vote, Monday morning. Wolf..."
Oh, that'll show 'em. Can'tcha just see 'em shaking in their sandals RightAboutNow™...?

Zero
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...
(Well, okay - the moment I've been waiting for. 
)
Football season officially begins today in the Realm™, as the Cowboys officially open camp in Oxnard, CA.
The team arrived Thursday afternoon at their River Ridge complex here in Oxnard but won't practice until Saturday, when they will have both a morning and afternoon practice.
No more grousing about the Miami cHeat and their championship*. No more grousing about the Tex-ass stRangers and their annual post-All Star Break disappearing/choke act.
For the next six or seven months, the Realm™ is all about football, buddy. "Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys". (Well maybe some Frogs thrown in for good measure. (grin))
In a couple weeks or so, the Perfect Football Weekend™ will return with the overview and the list of teams I'm following this year. PFWs may be a little harder to achieve than in years past, as I'll be tracking up to six teams for the '06 season.
Gonna be a fun year. Stay tuned.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled ranting.

PotKettleBlack™, Part the 10,315,744th
ITEM: Dr. YEARRRRRRRGH!!! calls the Iraqi prime minister an "anti-Semite".
"The Iraqi prime minister is an anti-Semite," the Democratic leader told a gathering of business leaders in Florida. "We don't need to spend $200 and $300 and $500 billion bringing democracy to Iraq to turn it over to people who believe that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself and who refuse to condemn Hezbollah."
ITEM: Dr. YEARRRRRRRGH!!! compares Florida senatorial candidate Kathleen Harris to Josef Stalin.
"Thank God for Bill Nelson, because we'd have another crook in the United States Senate if it weren't for him. He is going to beat the pants off Katherine Harris," Dean said during his 20-minute address. "She doesn't understand that it's…improper to be chairman of a campaign and count the votes at the same time. This is not Russia and she is not Stalin."
ITEM: Good ol' Howierd...is calling for an end to divisiveness.
Down with divisiveness was the message Wednesday delivered by Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean as he told a group of Florida business leaders that Republican policies of deceit and finger-pointing are tearing American apart.Dean called President Bush "the most divisive president probably in our history."
"He's always talking about those people. It's always somebody else's fault. It's the gays' fault. It's the immigrants' fault. It's the liberals' fault. It's the Democrats' fault. It's Hollywood people," Dean said. "Americans are sick of that. Even if you win elections doing that, you drag down our country."
YeahRight™.
Uh, Dr. YEARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!, there's a Mr. Pot and a Ms. Kettle on line 3. And they don't sound terribly happy.

See? You can deport 'em if you try
Now this is how you go about stemming the tide on illegal immigration: Hold those who would employ them responsible.
Employers in three states targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as part of an enhanced effort to combat illegal-alien employment schemes have been arrested for, or pleaded guilty to, charges of harboring illegal aliens.ICE spokesman Dean Boyd said two limited-liability corporations in Kentucky -- Asha Ventures LLC and Narayan LLC -- pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal charges of harboring illegal aliens and money laundering in an illegal employment scheme at hotels. They agreed to pay $1.5 million cash in lieu of forfeiture and create internal compliance programs.
Sentencing in the case is scheduled for October.
That's a good start. An even better idea would be to revoke their LLC and hold them personally responsible for their part in sponsoring this invasion of our land.
In Ohio, ICE agents arrested the owner of a restaurant on felony charges of harboring illegal aliens after 10 of his illegal workers were apprehended, Mr. Boyd said. Chinese citizen Jiang Fei Jiang, 36, who owns and operates Bee's Buffet in Fairfield, was arrested Thursday.In Arkansas on Tuesday, ICE agents arrested the owner of a construction business -- Arevalo Framing Associates in Springdale -- on felony charges and apprehended 27 of his illegal workers, ICE said. Alejandro Arevalo, the manager of Arevalo Framing, was charged with harboring illegal aliens and re-entry after deportation.
A double whammy. Best to kick his skanky ass across the river, then shoot him on sight if he gets within five feet of it again.
"ICE is taking an increasingly tough stance against egregious corporate violators that knowingly employ illegal aliens. Bringing criminal charges against these unscrupulous employers and targeting their ill-gotten gains is a tactic we are adopting nationwide," said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers, who heads ICE.Mr. Boyd said that during fiscal 2006, ICE has arrested 445 persons on criminal charges in work-site investigations and apprehended another 2,700 of their illegal workers on immigration violations. During fiscal 2005, he said, ICE arrested 176 persons on criminal charges and another 1,116 illegal-alien workers.
Like I said, Julie - it's a good start.
You have about 11,998,000 or so to go, so get cracking.

Phelps & ACLU, up in a tree...
Well, whaddya know?! The Asshelmeted Crack Lickers Union has found a group of people claiming to follow Christ that it actually likes.
Wouldn't you know that it'd be these bastards?
A Kansas church group that protests at military funerals nationwide filed suit in federal court, saying a Missouri law banning such picketing infringes on religious freedom and free speech.The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit Friday in the U.S. District Court in Jefferson City, Mo., on behalf of the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church, which has outraged mourning communities by picketing service members' funerals with signs condemning homosexuality.
But by all means, don't demonize the ACLU. That would be silly, and they do good work.
The church and the Rev. Fred Phelps say God is allowing troops, coal miners and others to be killed because the United States tolerates gay men and lesbians.
And in turn, these fucknozzles are bashing the same men & women who fight for the inbreds' right to spew forth that bullshit.
Rather ironic, eh what?
Missouri lawmakers were spurred to action after members of the church protested in St. Joseph, Mo., last August at the funeral of Army Spec. Edward L. Myers.The law bans picketing and protests "in front of or about" any location where a funeral is held, from an hour before it begins until an hour after it ends. Offenders can face fines and jail time.
A number of other state laws and a federal law, signed in May by President Bush, bar such protests within a certain distance of a cemetery or funeral.
A nice start, but I might have gone farther: Exempt from criminal prosecution anyone who...ahhhhh...decided to physically intervene on behalf of the honored dead and their families. Would be interesting to see how much Phelps and his phellow pherret phelchers were willing to suffer for being such shitheels.
In the lawsuit, the ACLU says the Missouri law tries to limit protesters' free speech based on the content of their message. It is asking the court to declare the ban unconstitutional and to issue an injunction to keep it from being enforced, which would allow the group to resume picketing."I told the nation, as each state went after these laws, that if the day came that they got in our way, that we would sue them," said Phelps's daughter Shirley L. Phelps-Roper, a spokeswoman for the church in Topeka, Kan.
And if you had to go for a romp in the hay with the Ass-phyxiated Caliphate Lickspittles' Union - well, I hope you attention whores kept the KY handy, y'know?
"At this hour, the wrath of God is pouring out on this country."
Yeah. We're having to listen to dipshits like you.
Scott Holste, a spokesman for Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon, said, "We're not going to acquiesce to anything that they're asking for in this lawsuit."
You might consider countersuing them, just for the Hell™ of it. Eh?
F.E.J.F.E.

Yeah, I created Ozy and Korrioth, but this is just silly
Denizens, on occasion I'll get the occasional troll who just can't seem to get the message when I dump their IP.
They'll go through something called an IP spoofer, where they can change the IP address they broadcast at the drop of a hat (there are also websites who employ this technology for these assclowns).
Anyway, that's one way of doing things. Then there are the morons who take a...ah...take a slightly different approach (hat tip Misha):
Boy, we sure do have a dedicated Glenn Greenwald fan there.Or should I say “fans”?
Because these comments are, after all, from three completely “different” people. Again: the first comment is from a guy named “Ellison.” And the second is from a different guy, named “Sam Mathews.” And the third is from a different guy still — one named “Wilson.”
But here’s the weird part: they all sound so very similar! All of these various fans of Glenn Greenwald seem very familiar with his curriculum vitae. And they seem to emphasize the same points. His New York Times best seller. His amazing success in just 9 months of blogging. The fact that Senators read from his blog during Senate hearings! The fact that he breaks stories that appear on the front pages of newspapers!
And here’s the very weirdest part of all: Ellison’s IP address is the very same IP address as that of one Glenn Greenwald.
The coincidences are...extraordinary.
"Indeed", as another Glenn would say.
"Queen Gwendolyn of Sockpuppetburbia". Has kind of a nice ring to it.

We don't? Who says?
LC, honorary Denizen (and now IB) Jackboot makes his triumphant first entry into the Blogosphere with this little gem.
Driving home from my day’s assignment, I noticed a bumper sticker with "Old Glory" flying. Ahhh… I always enjoy seeing those and this one seemed nice n’ new like. But wait a sec….what does the rest of it say? *movin’ in for a peek*"These colors DON’T rule the World"It was right next to the "Ned Lamont for Senate" and topped with another displaying "Coexist" cleverly written with pagan symbols.
The sooper-sekret spy Moonbat Alarm display instantly alerted me to the situation. Sorry, I can’t reveal the manufacturer of this little gem or how it functions (I’d have to kill you afterwards) but suffice it say it works similar to TCAS for progressives, socialists and smelly hippies. I have the option of maneuver to avoid or engaging my weapons targeting package. Hey, I’m aggressive as the next guy, but it was hot, I’m tired from a full shift so I picked the maneuver to avoid option.
But I couldn’t get that concept out of my head. Utterly correct on one level, yet massively incorrect in it’s context.
I disagree with his premise only slightly, however. If we don't rule the world, then why the Hell™ are the hoity-toity of the world coming to us and begging us to put a stop to the Israel-Hezbollah/Hamas/Iran/Syria war? 
Moreover, why does the US seem to be accepting the role???
The US is giving Israel a window of a week to inflict maximum damage on Hizbullah before weighing in behind international calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon, according to British, European and Israeli sources.The Bush administration, backed by Britain, has blocked efforts for an immediate halt to the fighting initiated at the UN security council, the G8 summit in St Petersburg and the European foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels.
"It's clear the Americans have given the Israelis the green light. They [the Israeli attacks] will be allowed to go on longer, perhaps for another week," a senior European official said yesterday. Diplomatic sources said there was a clear time limit, partly dictated by fears that a prolonged conflict could spin out of control.
Memo to Shrimpya: Seems to me that the Israelis are big boys and can "handle up" on their own business. (For the moment, I'll not delve into how they seem to be doing a better job of handling a bunch of ragheaded Islamofascist terrorist fucks than we are.)
You might consider just backing off and admiring the Israelis' fine work.
That's how you fight a war - with brass knucks instead of kid gloves.

Mickey Spillane: 1918 - 2006
Mickey Spillane has passed on. The world-renowned author of the Mike Hammer series was 88.
The Hammer television series back in the 80s was one of my all-time favorites. Lotsa babes, lotsa violence, lotsa babes, lotsa no-nonsense narrative...did I mention there were lotsa babes?
Rest in peace, Mickey, and many condolences to your family. The world lost a helluva guy today, and he'll be sorely missed.

Gridlock can sometimes be a Good Thing™
Now here's something you don't see out of Congress every day - some good news:
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., Friday gave less than even odds that Congress would pass an immigration law overhaul before the November congressional elections.The Tennessee Republican said that election year politics and lack of movement by the House toward a comprehensive approach sought by the Senate and President Bush complicate negotiations for final legislation and that odds for a bill this year were "less than 50-50, realistically."
If I were you, Doc, I'd play that up as a Good Thing™. That's probably your best chance to keep the Senate at this point.
Formal negotiations between the Senate and House to merge their vastly different bills were delayed as each side tries to win public support through hearings around the country scheduled through August.The Senate passed a bipartisan comprehensive bill that combines tougher enforcement rules and border security with a guest worker program and a plan to give many of the more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the country a path to U.S. citizenship.
The House-passed bill focuses solely on border security and enforcement. A solid group of House Republicans oppose the Senate bill, calling it an amnesty that rewards people who broke U.S. law. Many senators say they cannot accept the House's enforcement-only approach.
And Many Americans™ have a slight problem with your POS, Senators. Any guesses as to whose opinion carries more weight?
Frist said lawmakers were talking informally about how to proceed but right now "nothing's emerged."
And for y'all's sake, nothing had better.
You people can be guaranteed of keeping the Senate tomorrow if you ditch this "comprehensive" crapola. Any part of it makes it to Shrimpya's desk, that pretty much ends the Grand Ol' Pissants as we know 'em.
Not that that would be a Bad Thing™...

And just to demonstrate how irrele1vant the little coward is in the Overall Scheme Of Things™ - in all the boredom that was yesterday...I completely forgot about this.
It was one year ago yesterday that I exposed Widdle Mikey Cortese, aka the Reverend Mykki Chickenshit of the Church of the SubTarded, for the fucking coward he is.
That's right, Denizens - one year ago yesterday, he was invited to bring his bombast down here and get his ass handed to him. His response: bloviate in front of his half-assed excuse-for-a-church, the Slashdot community, et. al, wave his needle-dick around (actually, I'm rather surprised he managed to find it), then go film himself playing with his inflatable dolls.

Sign for Bobby Herbie: Will work for a brain
Denizens, rare is the occasion when I come across a column that is so moronic as to be pretty much self-Fisking.
Such a column has come across my path this day. And wouldn't ya know it - it's written by Bobby Herbert of the NY Slimes.
"We can no longer stand by and regularly give ourselves a pay increase while denying a minimum wage increase to the hardworking men and women across this nation."---Hillary Rodham Clinton, to her fellow senators
Oh, but you don't give yourselves raises, Hilarious, you moronic bimbo. All you people do is simply refuse to vote on legislation shooting it down and boom - the raise automatically goes into effect with nary a one of you Congresscritters lifting so much as a "Come he-ah, Jeeves" finger.
And I do seem to remember that that particular idea belonged...to the Demoscum. Small world, eh Hilarious, you pathetic twit?
The federal minimum wage, currently $5.15 an hour, was last raised in 1997. Since then, its purchasing power has deteriorated by 20 percent. Analysts at the Economic Policy Institute and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities jointly crunched the numbers and determined that, after adjusting for inflation, the value of the minimum wage is at its lowest level since 1955.For those who don't remember, Dwight Eisenhower was president in 1955, the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, and Barack Obama hadn't even been born.
And the economy was going pretty good guns, if memory serves. And there just happened to be a Republican in the White House and a Republican Congress.
Hmmm. Nah, gotta be a co-inky-dink. Doesn't it, Herbie?
If you're making the minimum wage, you're hurting.
And if you're thinking of making a career out of it, you're stupid. Then again, that would put you in the Demoscum's (and Bobby Herbie's) target demographic.
If Congress and the president don't raise the minimum wage by Dec. 2, it will have remained unchanged for the longest stretch since it was established in 1938. (The longest period previously was from January 1981 to April 1990 – a span that saw the entire Reagan administration come and go.)
Which was, if I remember correctly, one of the last times that the US economy enjoyed such hellacious expansion - at the time, the largest in peacetime history (again, if memory serves). And he had a Republican Senate, along with a Demoscummic House that had temporarily come under its masters' (read: We The People™) thumbs.
So much for it being a coincidence, eh, Herbie?
Senate Republicans recently blocked a Democratic bill, sponsored by Sen. Edward Kennedy
Reason enough to block it, right there.
that would have raised the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour over the next two years.
Which would force employers - particularly the working middle class employing these workers to come up with $84 per 40-hours per employee in order to keep doing business - or, if you want to take the long view, an extra $4,368 per employee per year. Not to mention the extra costs in FICA taxes, Social Security taxes, any insurance hikes that the business might require...
And the Demoscum claim that they support the working class? If this is support, I'd hate for them to betray me.
Jared Bernstein, a senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, noted that while Republicans in Congress are standing like a stone wall against this modest increase in the poverty-level wage, "they are working as hard as they can to repeal the estate tax.""That," he said, "is just vicious class warfare."
No, Bernstein, you suckweaselly little pissant, it's called "allowing the American taxpayer to keep more of his/her hard-earned money so they can give it to their progeny". Used to be quite the concept in America before you and your fellow socialist wonks decided that you could invent a "right" to take it from them.
The most important pay increases for most members of Congress are their own, and they are diligent in that regard. Mrs. Clinton, in a floor speech supporting the minimum-wage hike, said, "During the past nine years, we've raised our own pay by $31,600."
No, again - you've allowed your pay to go up. Not the same thing - although I can (and will) be happy to excoriate the Republicans for following your lead and not lifting so much as a finger or wagging a tongue to stop it.
But then, that's what happens to a Republican when he spends too long in Washington, DC: He begins to act like a Demoscum.
Mrs. Clinton has introduced a bill that, in addition to raising the minimum wage to $7.25, would link congressional pay raises to hikes in the minimum wage. Under the bill, the minimum wage would be increased automatically by the same percentage as any increase in congressional pay.
Denizens, you're not going to believe this - but I actually like that bill. Anything to get the Republican majority to get up off their asses and curtail any spending, I'm very much on board with.
Good for you, Duchess Hilarious! I mean - blind pig, meadow, acorn - but good for you, nonetheless.
Polls have shown that Americans overwhelmingly favor an increase in the minimum wage.
Would those be the same polls that had Kerry winning by a landslide two years ago? Or perhaps the same Assphyxiated Piss-Ipsos polls we've seen a little more recently that are so heavily weighted in favor of leftist Demoscum?
Inquiring minds want to know! Do you have the documentation to back these numbers up, Herbie? Or are you pulling them out your stinky ass, like everything else?
But the low-income workers who would benefit from such an increase are not part of the natural GOP constituency. Thus, the stonewall.
Well, that's why they vote Demoscum, y'know, Herbie. It's easier than going out and finding a real job.
A separate study by the Economic Policy Institute found that in 2005, with the pay of top corporate executives up sharply, and with the minimum wage falling further and further behind inflation, "an average chief executive officer was paid 821 times as much as a minimum wage earner."That CEO, according to the study, "earns more before lunchtime on the very first day of work in the year than a minimum wage worker earns all year."
Yeah. So? Would one of your so-called "minimum-wage workers" like to volunteer to take over the reins of a major corporation for a month or so? That is, without running said corporation into the ground and causing its stock price to tank?
Did it ever occur to either you or your fuckheaded pollsters, Herbie, that there's a reason minimum-wage workers make minimum-wage? Or that CEOs make CEO-type salaries, for that matter? Would it help if we explained it to you, this time using one-syllable words so that maybe you can comprehend?
The reality, said Mrs. Clinton, "is that a full-time job that pays the minimum wage just doesn't provide enough money to support a family today.
The reality Duchess, is that IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO, YOU IGNORANT SLUT!!!!!
We have to acknowledge that fact and do something about it. As a country, we cannot accept that a single mother with two children who works 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year earns $10,700 a year – let me say this again: $10,700 a year. That is almost $6,000 below the federal poverty line for a family of three."
Oh no, you don't, former First Bitch. Not without acknowledging that the increase you're proposing would put the MIDDLE-CLASS BUSINESS OWNER PAYING THAT SALARY at a higher risk of going out of business due to excessive costs - at which point, neither your so-called "single mother with two children who works 40 hours a week" nor her boss (maybe a single dad raising four children???) have a job.
But that would make you happy, wouldn't it, Hilarious, you stupid-assed bimbo? As long as we spread the misery around equally, right?
During the 1950s and '60s, the minimum wage was roughly 50 percent of the average wage of nonsupervisory workers. It has now fallen to 31 percent – less than a third – of that average.As the Economic Policy Institute and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities pointed out in their study: "Each year that Congress fails to raise the wage floor, its purchasing power erodes. The fact that the minimum wage has remained the same for nearly nine years means that its real value has declined considerably over that period. As inflation has accelerated recently due to higher energy costs, the real value of the minimum wage has fallen faster."
Which should at least, for those precious few who still are driven to succeed (no thanks to you fucking leftards), motivate them to learn and grow and improve themselves to the point where they can get out of that minimum-wage job, which was never supposed to be a career in the first place.
Except that's where you'd like to see them, isn't it, Herbie? On that socialist plantation, liftin' dat barge, totin' dat bale...
There is no justification – none – for condemning the nation's lowest-paid workers to this continuing slide into ever deeper economic distress. "No one who works for a living should have to live in poverty," said Mr. Kennedy.
And there is no justification - none - for forcing the nation's working class at gunpoint to pay its employees what you and your fellow Demoscummic shit-for-brains what you think they deserve to make.
But if that's what you really wanna do - well, then, you'd best bump the minimum wage up to somewhere in the neighborhood of $16/hour - because anything less ain't much of a living wage, either.
Just don't piss & moan about it when inflation soars to 40% annually, mkay?
It's very telling that in the most prosperous nation in the world, that kind of comment actually sounds radical. We have a very long way to go.
Right. Like convincing the NY Slimes to bust your ugly ass back to minimum wage.
'Cause that's about what your writing's worth nowadays.

Denizens, if you'll recall, I rejoined the ranks of the gainfully employed back in late November.
Well, that was a temp position. Which got me by until a better paying temp-to-perm position came along in April.
And now, the "perm" part of that equation has been realized. I was notified Thursday that my company has decided that they like my fine work and want me as part of their permanent crew. This'll carry with it a decent-enough raise and some bennies.
Next step: stop spending $$$$ like a modern-day Republican. Maybe if I actually brown-bagged it once in a while...

Deb Frisch: Latest Cowardcrat to hit the Blogosphere
The Blogosphere's been abuzz the last couple of days about a leftist bimboid named Deb Frisch and some of her comments to Jeff over at Protein Wisdom (No need to go over there right now - ever since this episode began, his site's been down, courtesy of a couple of DDoS attacks.)
(CLARIFICATION: The link does not take you to Protein Wisdom. The link goes to what looks like an archived page. Jeff's blog really is down.)
(FYI, Misha's got a nice take on it here.)
I read the comments, and I'm reminded of my own dealings with a psycho bitch back a few years ago.
Deborah Frisch is just like the rest of the libtard chickenshits who talk big, but don't have the cojones to back up their bullshit.
When she said "bring it, hombre", the rest of the right-thinking side of the Blogosphere did - and damn, but did she set land-speed records for backtracking.
She says she lost her job at the University of Arizona for this little episode (though she's even trying to backtrack on that by claiming that she "resigned"). This would be a Good Thing™, as she's not qualified to train young skulls full o' mush (a little Rush lingo, there).
Frisch, AFAIC, you're nothing but yet another leftist coward who creams herself at the thought of Ward Churchill cutting loose a fart in her general direction. But it would be my honor to find myself within five feet of your skanky ass one day.
Just so I could plant it on the concrete.

It's deja vu all over again
Item: A country's conservative candidate for President wins the election by the narrowest of margins.
Item: His leftist opponent whines about so-called "fraud", and threatens to go to court to overturn the legally-arrived-at result.
Gee. Where have we seen this before?

Limbaugh-Viagra epilogue: WITY™???
Denizens, remember when I threw the bullshit flag on the state of Flori-duhhhhh for their abuse of Rush Limbaugh?
Well? WITY? (What'd I Tell Ya?)
The State Attorney's Office said today that it will not file charges against conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh for possessing a bottle of Viagra prescribed to his doctor.Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours last week at Palm Beach International Airport after customs agents found the pills in his luggage.
And, according to Rush, the Customs bitch who found it was bleating about it at the top of her lungs.
I note that this was in Palm "We're Too Stupid To Figure Out Chads, Too" Beach. Gee, I wonder who that bimbo voted for????
So much for the idea of public servants applying the law equally, huh?
Chief Assistant State Attorney Paul H. Zacks wrote in memo that Dr. Steven Strumwasser agreed to have his name on the label to avoid "potentially embarrassing publicity" for Limbaugh.Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction.
"Thus, the medication contained in the subject pill bottle was legitimately prescribed to the suspect by his physician," Zacks wrote in the memo.
His office plans to turn over a copy of Limbaugh's files to officials in Miami-Dade County to investigate the mislabeling on the pill bottle.
Yet another bullshit flag on the State of Flori-duh, 25 more yards, 14 points awarded to the opposition, ejections, suspensions and fines up their collective ass.
You gotta hope that that doctor has an attorney friend who's more of a shark than Roy Black. 'Tis high time that the government got its nose royally bloodied over this one.
F.E.J.F.E

Happy 230th Birthday, America!!!
Denizens, today is our day to celebrate. The country to which we (as well as our forefathers before us) have pledged "our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor" turns 230 years old today.
And I would be remiss in not pointing out that today is also the libtards' least favorite day. For they are reminded yet again that they are a sniveling minority that gets a hard-on at the prospect of this country going to her destruction in favor of their socialistic Utopia.
Let us once again vow that we'll bury their skanky asses - or die trying - before we allow that to happen. I will not stand by and watch my country become a socialist hellhole - not while I still possess life & breath. And I know that you, my loyal Denizens, join with me in that sentiment.
Wanna remind you of something that Neal Jeffery reminded us of last year - a point that we all too oft forget: Freedom isn't free - it's been purchased by blood. No American has enjoyed a freedom that hasn't been paid for by someone's ultimate sacrifice somewhere.
We would do well to remember that today. We would do well to remember that every day.
Happy Birthday, America. May the God of our fathers continue to bless & keep you.

PotKettleBlack™, Part the 7,106,002nd
Observed today at a local eatery: A white pickup. Windows rolled about halfway down. Evidence strongly suggests that it belonged to a shit-for-brains liberal. Two things bore this out:
1. The plethora of PETA-style bumper stickers on the back - everything from "eat vegan" to the old bullshit saw about how "animals are not ours to eat as food, test, have as pets", etc, to the bitching about animal abuse, all that stuff. And -
2. The sheer hypocrisy demonstrated...by the terrier mix in the cab of the unattended pickup.
(Fortunately, it wasn't all that hot today, and there was a cloud cover. A call to Animal Control yielded the opinion that the dog was probably okay, given the circumstance.)
And the animal-rights terrorist bastards wonder why they're not taken seriously...

Betrayal
"My blog, my rules". It's a principle by which we all here in the Blogosphere abide, and it's one I'll support 'til the day I die - yes, even for the fucksticks over at Demoscummic Underpants or that shithole run by Markos "Screw 'em" Moulitsas.
But when certain folks stand up for an asshatted troll who would normally get pissed on, then slap the hand of he who actually did try to piss on said troll...well, there's a sense of betrayal there that's highly bewildering.
And when said troll then gets the kid-glove treatment for committing an offense for which another completely different troll got bitch-slapped not three weeks ago...then one has to wonder what the Hell™ is going on around here.
To say I'm a little confused (not to mention pissed off) is a bit of an understatment. When did we go all Queensbury on the leftards?
It tends to put me in a mood similar to what I experienced back in 1996 - the last time Spatula City BBS! closed its doors. Why beat my head against the brick wall?
(Not to worry, Denizens - I'm not going anywhere...at least, not yet. I'm just extremely po'd at a couple of folks right now. Carry on.)

Blog housekeeping-ery
The link to Chris Muir's Day by Day has been fixed.
Memo to Chris: Now that Sam's sister Skye has made it there, it might be a good time to introduce Zed's brother into the mix as her love interest.
You know...the "brother" we discussed a while back...?

And this is "public interest"...how again?
No, Denizens, it wasn't bad enough that the NY Slimes had to go and blow the whistle to their johns in Al-Qaida about the secret surveillance programs the United States had in place, thus giving them a boost in their attempts to keep us from destroying them. At least there's not doubt one about whose side the traitorous tumblefucks are on.
But now they're acting like spoiled little third-grader Johnny who's throwing a temper-tantrum 'cause he got bitchslapped for showing little Suzie his wee-wee. So now everybody's gonna hear all the secrets little Johnny knows.
Starting with this:
Beware of travel feature stories posing as invitations to terror."The New York Times points cranks, radicals, al-Qaida operatives and would-be assassins to the summer homes of [V.P. Dick] Cheney and [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld" writes FrontPage Magazine's David Horowitz, who sees the June 30 Times feature article as an apparent retaliation for administration "criticism of the Times' disclosure of classified intelligence to America's enemies."
In the "Escapes" section of the June 30 edition, the N.Y. Times printed huge color photos of the vacation residences of Cheney and Rumsfeld, "identifying the small Maryland town where they live, showing their front driveways and, in Rumsfeld's case, actually pointing out the hidden security camera in case any hostile intruders should get careless," Horowitz writes.
Times Travel section writer Peter Kilborn even makes sure enemies of the two men will know such details as where Mrs. Rumsfeld shops in the eastern shore town of St. Michaels, Md. where the two administration officials have weekend retreats.
He even lets the curious know what street the Cheneys and Rumsfelds have to use to get to their own road.
Misha's pretty much covered it, but I just have this to add:
Kilborn, you cowardly asshat - if harm comes to either the Cheneys or the Rumsfelds, you'd best hope that the government gets to you before some folks out here do.
With the feds, you'll get three hots and a cot.
They, of course, would leave out the s.
