On Florida and failed campaign strategies
"Unexpected this is...and unfortunate..."-Yoda
Houston, we have a problem. John McZhamnesty is the Republican front runner. He took Florida last night over Romney by 36% to 31%. Rudy Giuliani grabbed 15% and the Huckster had 14%. (As already chronicled here, Rudy has left the race - and if Huckabee has any brains at all to speak of, he'll soon follow. Shame Fred! got out so soon - now would've been a great time to do some damage.)
Not only are there no more true conservatives left in the presidential race, but the least conservative left amongst the GOP now looks as if he'll be the standard-bearer come November.
Florida was supposed to be Rudy's to lose - and lose it, he did. By not getting his name out there in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and South Carolina, Giuliani gave new meaning to the phrase "out of sight, out of mind". With other candidates in the race to garner Floridians' attention, Rudy had no chance. The lesson to be learned here is this: if you're gonna run, you start on the blocks at the starting line - not at the third turn.
On the Donk side, the Duchess Hilarious won what was, basically, a one-person race - and got no delegates as a result. As punishment for Florida moving up their primary, the Demoscummic National Socialist Committee stripped the state of its delegates and ordered its candidates not to campaign there (an order the Duchess promptly disobeyed).
Memo to Florida Dems: Now that the Party has shown you what they think of you, isn't it time you showed them what you think of them? Say, by voting Republican in November?
Just sayin', is all.
Next big race is "Super Tuesday" next week. For the GOP, it either becomes a real race, or a McRINO coronation. In any case, I think it's time to stock up on more ammo...

BREAKING: Silky Pony done
ABC News is reporting that Silky Pony has finally seen the writing on his multi-million dollar wall, and will finally heed it and drop out.
And, having seen his "all eggs in one basket" Florida strategy fail miserably (more on that this evening), Rudy Giuliani is doing likewise. The Huckster can't be too far behind, one would think.

On the State of the Union Show™
No, Denizens - I can't say as I watched the State of the Union Giveaway Show™ last night. Had better things to do - like old reruns of previous Super Bowls on the NFL Network. 
But I'm reading the text of the speech right now, and I have to confess to a little puzzlement by some of it.
We have other work to do on taxes. Unless the Congress acts, most of the tax relief we have delivered over the past 7 years will be taken away. Some in Washington argue that letting tax relief expire is not a tax increase. Try explaining that to 116 million American taxpayers who would see their taxes rise by an average of $1,800. Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes. I welcome their enthusiasm, and I am pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders.Most Americans think their taxes are high enough. With all the other pressures on their finances, American families should not have to worry about the Federal Government taking a bigger bite out of their paychecks. There is only one way to eliminate this uncertainty: make the tax relief permanent. And Members of Congress should know: If any bill raising taxes reaches my desk, I will veto it.
Just as we trust Americans with their own money, we need to earn their trust by spending their tax dollars wisely. Next week, I will send you a budget that terminates or substantially reduces 151 wasteful or bloated programs totaling more than $18 billion. And this budget will keep America on track for a surplus in 2012. American families have to balance their budgets, and so should their Government.
The people's trust in their Government is undermined by congressional earmarks -- special interest projects that are often snuck in at the last minute, without discussion or debate. Last year, I asked you to voluntarily cut the number and cost of earmarks in half. I also asked you to stop slipping earmarks into committee reports that never even come to a vote. Unfortunately, neither goal was met. So this time, if you send me an appropriations bill that does not cut the number and cost of earmarks in half, I will send it back to you with my veto. And tomorrow, I will issue an Executive Order that directs Federal agencies to ignore any future earmark that is not voted on by the Congress. If these items are truly worth funding, the Congress should debate them in the open and hold a public vote.
Where was some of this during the last four to six years? If Bush had talked like this prior to 2006, the GOP might still be in power today.
To build a future of quality health care, we must trust patients and doctors to make medical decisions and empower them with better information and better options. We share a common goal: making health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans. The best way to achieve that goal is by expanding consumer choice, not government control.
This is nice, if it's held to. I have personally heard talk of tying health care to lifestyle habits, the same as one's ability to buy a house or a car is tied to a credit score. I want my medical care decided by a human being, not a computer.
We must also do more to help children when their schools do not measure up. Thanks to the D.C. Opportunity Scholarships you approved, more than 2,600 of the poorest children in our Nation's capital have found new hope at a faith-based or other non-public school. Sadly, these schools are disappearing at an alarming rate in many of America's inner cities. So I will convene a White House summit aimed at strengthening these lifelines of learning. And to open the doors of these schools to more children, I ask you to support a new $300 million program called Pell Grants for Kids. We have seen how Pell Grants help low-income college students realize their full potential. Together, we have expanded the size and reach of these grants. Now let's apply that same spirit to help liberate poor children trapped in failing public schools.
I have a better idea: How about hold parents accountable for what and how their kids learn? How about we go one step further and give them every financial incentive to home school their rugrats, get them out of government schools where it's more important nowadays to figure out how to fit the condom over the cucumber (h/t: Ann Coulter) than it is to learn how to read & write?
To build a future of energy security, we must trust in the creative genius of American researchers and entrepreneurs and empower them to pioneer a new generation of clean energy technology. Our security, our prosperity, and our environment all require reducing our dependence on oil. Last year, I asked you to pass legislation to reduce oil consumption over the next decade, and you responded. Together we should take the next steps: Let us fund new technologies that can generate coal power while capturing carbon emissions. Let us increase the use of renewable power and emissions-free nuclear power. Let us continue investing in advanced battery technology and renewable fuels to power the cars and trucks of the future.
Let's quit worshipping at the Oracle of the Goreacle and drill in ANWR. Piss a liberal off and help America at the same time.
Let us create a new international clean technology fund, which will help developing nations like India and China make greater use of clean energy sources. And let us complete an international agreement that has the potential to slow, stop, and eventually reverse the growth of greenhouse gases. This agreement will be effective only if it includes commitments by every major economy and gives none a free ride.
It'll only work if all the environ-mental cases shut their pieholes. Starting with lame-duck presidents who give too much credibility to tree-hugging Donks.
NEXT (sort of): Part II

Oh, I just dare 'em...
The little podunk town of Brattleboro, VT, is going to have a vote in March on whether to arrest President Bush & Vice President Cheney on "war crimes".
I'd just love to see them try it. What're they gonna do - have the Thixty-Ninth Pink Thivil Unionth Brigade ekthecute the warrant?

Quick primary analysis
Denizens, I'm in the middle of a few things here, but a quick analysis of the coming primaries (S. Carolina for the Donks, Flori-duh for the GOP) reveals the following:
If Giuliani doesn't win Florida, his campaign is done. (Same thing for the Huckster, though it'll take a little longer for him to realize it.)
We're down to Mormonboy and McZhamnesty for the GOP nomination. And that being the case, the party as we know it today is on the brink of implosion.
The Donks should be cheering more loudly about that, but they're too busy with their Hilarious-Osama Obama infighting for their one collective brain cell to pay more attention thereto. Infighting which, I might hasten to point out, will come to a quick end if B. Hussein doesn't win S. Carolina today.
Will update this as events warrant (read: once I find out the results in SC today).
UPDATE: Well, hold off on the Hilarious coronation - at least, for another week.
B. Hussein routed the Duchess 51-30 - that is, if current trends hold. (Edwards Silky Pony, as usual, finished third - and probably should go ahead and drop out.)
The black vote went 4-1 in favor of B. Hussein, which meant that Clintoon couldn't even depend on the female vote there. Be interesting to see if that holds throughout the rest of the South.
Next stop: The Feb. 5 states, of which Tennessee is one (at least, Hilarious was headed there after the polls closed in SC).
We continue to watch & see...
Update the 2nd: Make it 55-27, B. Hussein. Even more interesting.

Quick! Everybody turn thumbs down on the economy!
For the last few days, the media has been (as you probably know) reporting that confidence in the economy is down, down, down. (With a gleam in their voice, as if it were all Bush's fault, no doubt.)
But something they haven't been reporting as loudly is that oil, from a high of just a tick over $100/barrel last week or so, had dropped to between $85 and $90.
This morning, as I'm getting ready for work, I'm hearing on the radio that, thanks in part to Bernanke's 3/4-point interest rate cut, optimism on the economy has rebounded a bit. And so has the price of oil - to around $88 and change/barrel.
Uh, Ben? Could I have a little bit more pessimism, please? Say, about $40/barrel worth?

On Nevada & the morons of S. Carolina
Okay, so, Romney won Nevada. Clear victory, too - he actually won a majority, pullng in 54% to the 12% pulled in by McRINO and the Twoofer, RuPaul. (Huckabee placed fourth, with a whopping 9%.)
In S. Carolina, the Huckster finished second, with 30%; Fred! was third with 16%, placing ahead of Romney's 15%. (As you know, Fred! extricated himself from the race earlier today.)
All these men trailed the winner of S. Carolina...John-boy McRINO, with 33%.
I have a question for South Carolina GOP: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR MORONS?
This is the same McRINO who has taken away our right to say what we want, when we want, through McRINO-Feingold. Same guy who bitched about us over the zhamnesty issue. The leader of the "Gang of Fourteen" that prevented President Bush from nominating conservative judges to the benches, thus creating judicial backlogs, thus exacerbating an already overtaxed court system.
And you people voted for this assclown?
And, in so doing, caused the most conservative candidate in the race to decide he was beating his head agasint a brick wall and quit? Do you dumbasses realize what you've fucking done???
By not giving your vote to Fred!, you have pretty much guaranteed that a conservative will not occupy the White House in 2009. You have all but guaranteed that the next few Supreme Court judges will be fucking socialist activists who don't give a shit about our God-given freedoms or the Constitution that protects them. That's our right to free speech, our right to defend ourselves, our right to be secure in our papers & effects, our right against self-incrimination that you've helped to basically give away (among others).
What in the Hell™ were you people thinking?????
We are now left with a choice between a liberal Republican governor who's Der Kaiser's functional clone; another governor whom the liberals in Massachusetts had no problem electing to office; and McRINO. This is what you idiots want?!?!?!
Fine.
The Republican may very well win in November - but it'll be without my vote.
And to those of you who want to bitch at me for "throwing away" my vote, or who say "if you don't vote, you're just giving the White House to Hillary" - look: There is no functional difference between anyone who's left in the GOP, and either the Duchess or B. Hussein Osama Obama. None.
McRINO may keep trying to fight the war against terrorism a little longer than the Demoscum, but he'll eventually cave. On that, you can safely bank. Huckaclown's already called our foreign policy "arrogant", and Cthulu knows that Romney's FP expeience can fit in a thimble with room left over.
So, since there are no conservatives left in the race, this conservative will likely sit it out, too.
That, and load up on the ammo.

BREAKING: Fred! out
ABC News has just reported that Fred! has removed himself from the race, citing his ill mother in Tennessee.
Damn.
Shit.
Fuck.
Snarl.

Happy b'day, Dr. King. Wish more were like you...
This son-of-a-bitch calls himself "Reverend" - but then again, so does Jesse Jackson.
Today, the national holiday memorializing Dr. King, should be a day of conviction and, if need be, confrontation."We have ignored the essence of his life and the horror of his death," said Mr. Johnson, 62, director of Texas operations for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who marched with Dr. King through the segregated South. "We've allowed white America to escape the guilt of his assassination, and we've allowed black America to drift back into a coma."
Let's understand a couple of things, "Reverend":
1. In the first place, I didn't have anything to do with killing Dr. King.
Neither did my brother.
Neither did my parents.
Neither did my step-parents.
Neither did my white friends.
Neither did any other white person I know.
So you can take your "white guilt trip", sir, and shove it up your ass.
2. If you want to realize Dr. King's dream, then you, all your racist black friends, all your racist gangsta rappers, all of you who still call us "cracker" and "honky" and "whitey" and owe you so-called "reparations" for something of which we were not, nor could have possibly been a part are strongly advised to do a little introspection and check your racism at the fucking door.
I submit to you and everyone else that the majority of racism is no longer the possession of the white race. The majority of us don't care that you have black skin, but you and your so-called "leadership" sure as Hell care that ours is white.
So if I were you, "Reverend", I'd watch out for the glass in my house before I go to throwing stones.

Memo to Coach Hairball and the Douchebags
Halftime score, NFC Championship Game: at Green Bay 10, NY Football Douchebags 6
Hey, Douchebags! Not quite as easy when the other team contests the two-minute drive, is it?
UPDATE: (Final: GB 20, Douchebags 13, Fleabag Pissant Zebras 10) Who the fuck carted the New England Pussies' officiating crew to Green Bay so damned fast? Where was the illegal contact on the interception on the Pack's overtime drive?
Now I'm gonna have to do what I'd been dreading - pull for the New England Pussies in the Super Bowl.
Fuck you, NY Douchebags. Fuck you and the zebras you paid off.
And fuck Archie Manning. Someone shoulda cut his dick off after Peyton.
UPDATE the 2nd: Let's not mince words here, okay?
The NY Football Douchebags haven't won shit. They were handed this game on a fucking silver platter by a half-assed excuse-for-a-zebra crew that had its collective head up its collective ass.
How else are you gonna explain no flag for Cori Webster riding Donald Driver out of the play well past the five-yard contact zone with no flag, but Al Harris draws a pass-interference flag for so much as daring to breathe on Plaxico the Pansy-Ass?
Roger Goodell, if you don't push for full-time trained officiating after the last two weeks of this shit, you are nothing but a little fuckheaded son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch.
And you can fucking quote me.
F.E.J.F.E.

The Force is strong in this one. Sorta.
Some years ago, I dragged my Luddite brother, kicking and screaming, into the Computer Age™. He hated the things, didn't want anything to do with them, didn't even like the one he had to work on at his job.
Last night, he demanded that I teach him how to rip selected tracks from his CD collection so that he could make a "greatest hits" disc.
I've created a monster.

A moderate GOP? Over my dead body, DMN
The bastards at the Dullest Moaning Snooze are at it again.
Fresh off their failed bit of naming as their so-called "Texan of the Year" the illegal alien, now comes Kevan Ann Willey and her little brood saying that Republicans need to move, quoting the headline, "beyond Reagan".
Some, like Rush Limbaugh, think Republicans need a pleasing personality to keep the old Reagan coalition of social, economic and defense conservatives dancing together in the same tent. Others, like Newt Gingrich, contend that Republicans must move beyond Reaganism with a message more attuned to today's voters.
What Newt seems to have forgotten, Kevan Ann, is that it's the Reagan Coalition, having seen enough of Demoscum-monopolized government, that put him and the Republicans in control of the Congress for the first time in fifty years in the first place.
And he got there by running on conservative platforms - specifically, a Contract with America that promised to reform the Imperial Socialist Congress and pass laws & implement programs favored by...wait for it...conservatives.
He'd do well to remember that.
We agree with the modernizers, which is why we recommended last month that Republicans nominate Gov. Mike Huckabee. The Arkansan has a keen ear for the economic anxieties of modern workers, which differ from the social and cultural worries that attracted "Reagan Democrats" to the GOP.
Uh, wait a minute, Kevan Ann. Granted, you're cute as a bug - but that doesn't mean you get a pass when you start to spew bullshit.
In case you've forgotten, Ronaldus Magnus ran on a platform of tax cuts, spending cuts and economic reforms to bring us out of the...let's see, what was that word again?...ah yes - "malaise" - brought about by four years of failed economic policies of Jimmuh Cahduh.
And now you're wanting us to be led by another Ar-kansas governor who might as well be another Kaiser Wilhelm...?
I don't think so.
Whether or not Republicans go with his fresh thinking, the GOP can't simply live off the intellectual capital of a generation ago. Not unless the party wants to make the same mistake Democrats did.
Bullshit. Contrary to what you might feel, Kevan Ann (Cthulu forbid I ever accuse you of thinking), conservatism works every time it's tried. The only times Republicans find themselves in any trouble is when they either act like or listen to Demoscum. It is no coincidence that when Shrubya decided he'd rather get along better with Demoscum than fight them on things like border security, education and Glow-bullshit Wormening™, the American electorate decided to give him more Demoscum to play with.
A conservative who ran like a conservative, and didn't apologize for it every time a Lame Stream Mediot™ pooh-poohed him and called him a "big meanie", would sweep this country like fires generally go through California forests.
Republicans, particularly, need to reconsider the relationship between government and the economy. For instance, it makes sense in today's world to think every bit as much about investing in initiatives
Translation: tax hikes and exerting even more federal control over education. Neither of which America needs any more than they need another plane flying into a building.
that help students master math and science as it does to sprinkle tax cuts upon the wealthy.
In the first place, since "the wealthy" drive a damned good portion of the economy with this not-too-well-known-to-the-DMN concept called "private-sector investment", it behooves our economy to let them keep more of their money so that they can drive this economy of ours.
Secondly, our kids used to do just fine at mastering things like math & science back when teachers were allowed to teach facts, rather than theories (read: evolution and the aforementioned Glow-bullshit Wormening™), sex education in first grade and feel-good, self-esteem-enhancing bullshit.
Kids learned a lot more when it was just "readin', ritin' and 'rithmetic". Those that didn't learn...went on to become op-ed page editors.
Primaries serve to sort out and prioritize a party's message; the GOP's future rests on how this drama turns out. We're pulling for the modernizers.
I really miss the Dallas Times Herald. When they were around, I didn't have to put up with this sort of socialist sewage from the Morning News.
Up yours, Kevan Ann Willey.

Michigan: Three-way tie
At this rate, we're gonna have 40 candidates who've won 40 primaries/caucii.
Romney won Michigan (he also won Wyoming, but who gives a fat rat's ass about Wyoming?) by 39%-30% over McRINO, while the Huckster garnered 16%
(In the Donk primary, the Duchess basically ran uncontested - and still only got 55%. Go figure.)
We now have a 1-1-1 tie going into South Carolina, where if Fred! doesn't make a helluva showing, he'd better hope the eventual nominee likes old running mates. 
The Huckster should rebound well in SC - maybe not enough to win, but still enough to give both Mormonboy & McRINO a scare or two.
The Demoscummic National Socialist Committee insisted their candidates not run, due to Michigan's Donk party daring to defy the national Donks and hold their primary when they chose. (The nerve of those Michiganders!)
IYAM (and you didn't, not that I give a shit), Obama should've run - he might've beaten the Duchess and caused real panic amongst the socialists. Oh, well.
Unless McRINO makes a dent in SC, his campaign may finally bite the dust. Folks here in the south have not forgotten McRINO-Feingold, or the education bill that Teddy the Red-Nosed Senator signed off on, or the Gang of Fourteen, or...
You get the idea.
Not that it would break my heart to see McRINO go. His 15 minutes of fame were over 8 years ago. Besides, Fred! needs that spot more. 
As always, watch this space.

Blog housekeeping-ery
Just got through doing a little housecleaning around here - minor tweaks to the blog template (very minor), and a bit of culling of the blogroll - removal of the dead links, and a bit of "repositioning" for others.
Surprisingly, Rayegun's link still seems to work. Wonders never cease, I guess...
T-BONE MCMANX: (cough)
LSIK&T: Yes, McManx, I see the diligence in your effort. Good job.
T-BONE MCMANX: Thank you, m'Liege.
And at some point, I'm going to look at upgrading the Movable Type package to the newest version, which looks right now to be 4.01. (I'm not sure if 3.15 can be upgraded to 4 at this point, will have to investigate - time permitting, of course.)
The upshot to all this is that there's a very good chance that I - not being as conversant with this particular software as I'd like - could wind up causing a warp-core breach, nuking the blog completely and having to start from scratch. (shrug) Life's full of little surprises, I suppose - "friends" turning their back on you, blogs disappearing into the ethersphere, that sort of thing.
Stay tuned.

Famous Demoscum lies
"...worst economy in the last 50 years..." -Bill Clinton & Al Gore
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky..." -Clinton again
"[Democrats] intend to lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history..." Nancy Pelosi
How do you tell a Demoscum is lying? Simple: The lips are moving.

On Iowa & New Hampshire
Idle thoughts regarding the first two battles of the political year:
As you know by now, Denizens, the finish in Iowa was Huckabee-Romney-ThompsonMcRINO for the Good Guys™, and Osama Obama-Duchess Hilarious-Silky Pony for the Donks, while in New Hampshire it was McRINO-Romney-Huckabee and Hilarious-Osama Obama, respectively.
I'm not terribly surprised that the Huckster did so well among Iowa Republicans and so poorly among those in NH. Iowa GOPers can identify with someone whom they perceive to have a moral backbone, while Northeasterners, R or D, will go for the liberal every time.
McRINO's campaign will not go far past South Carolina. I think that on that, you can safely bank.
What disturbs me is that Fred! is running what can be charitably described as a lethargic campaign. A 15-year-younger Fred!, running a campaign full of 15-years-younger energy, would be running away with this election - not just the primaries, but the general election, as well. I was hoping for a more energetic campaign for Fred!, and will still vote for him in the Texas primary - but I don't like his chances unless he overwhelms in the South.
So who after that? I'm with Bill Keller on this one - a vote for Romney is a vote for Satan, and he won't be getting mine.
McRINO?
That leaves me with Huckabee, and he's gonna have to show me a helluva lot more than what he has thus far if he wants my vote.
On the flip side, I think B. Hussein Obama has peaked. How the South treats him will be key, but the Duchess gets the nomination, I think. Which bodes well for the Republicans, since for a lot of the GOP faithful, it won't matter who their nominee is if the Demoscum is Hilarious - and I think it will be.
It's about to be a good time to be a conservative again.

PFW: Benediction
I don't do this very often, but occasionally it's warranted: Despite the two losses by teams I had in play, I'm making an Executive Decision™ and declaring this last one of the year a Perfect Football Weekend™.
Tracking a championship team will do that for you. 
TCU 20, UHouston 13
Dallas 6, at Washington 27
#4 Oklahoma 28, #9 West Inbred Virginia 48
#2 LSU 38, #1 Ohio State 24
I told you guys that Dallas would probably get its ass kicked for lack of want-to, and did they ever. That said, they could have at least feigned interest.
One aggregate yard rushing between Jewels Jones (who, thank Cthulu, is gone next year) and Marion the Barbarian was enough to tell you how little the Cowboys cared about anything except getting out of the regular season as un-banged up as possible.
Four starters - Newman, Gurode, Ratliff and Owens - sat out the game (Owens had that high ankle sprain). No one else played terribly inspired, and it showed.
...
Memo to Bob Stoops: I know you couldn't give two flying fucks about me tracking your team, but much more of this and you'll play your way out of the PFW.
Second memo to Brent Venables: Bo Pelini, you ain't.
The simple fact of the matter is that the Inbreds were simply too fast for the Sooners, who inexplicably failed to use their strength (the power running game, leading to the play pass) against a smaller WV unit. A team that could have easily shoved the ball down the Mountainqueers' throats tried to play cutesy against them and had their asses handed them on platters.
And the scary thing about that is that Steve Slaton, WV's lightning-quick tailback, got hurt in the first quarter and sat out the game. The Inbreds did this to OU's supposed stonewall run defense with a reserve tailback, Noel "Noelle" Devine.
MERLIN: "Noelle"?
LSIK&T: Well, that's how the Fox guys were pronouncing it.
Bottom line: If Stoops is going to make a run at a national championship next year, he's gotta get quicker & faster on defense. Maybe on offense, too.
And now I have reason anew to hate West Virginia.
ALL: ?????
LSIK&T: Bluebonnet Bowl, 1984.
MERLIN: Oh.
...
From about the second quarter on in Houston, I had four Cougar fans behind me who looked for all the world like illegal pendejos - and sounded like it, too. W0000000000000t!!!!!!!!
Believe me, I was sorely tempted to buy a cerveza or dos to throw in their faces. 'Course, I'd've had to fight 45,000 pissed-off Houston-ettes - and I was unarmed at the time.
Fortunately, Texas Christian came back from a 10-7 halftime deficit, firming up its defense (yes, even the swiss-cheese secondary, at least until the final possession) and allowing Andy Dalton a few promising flashes of brilliance (he was 21 of 30 for 365, and overthrew a couple that would've each gone for six if caught) giving the hardcore Frog fan a modicum of hope for 08-09. If TCU finds receivers...watch out.
However, the game was sorely in doubt right up until the final play. After TCU failed to gain a first down on its last possession, they punted to the Houston 2 with 1:30 left in the game. Houston immediately did what I thought they should've done all night long - they proceeded to shred the Frog secondary. They drove all the way down to the Frog 20, where one pass into the endzone was just --) (-- that much out of reach.
Another pass was dropped at the goal line, then with one second remaining, UH quarterback Case Kellum rolled to his left, where he was pursued and dropped by senior defensive end (and MVP, if you ask me) Chase Ortiz. At that point, 17,000 TCU fans at Reliant Stadium let out a collecting whoop of relief, and the party began in earnest.
...
Turning point of last night's BCS championship game occurred in the second quarter with about seven and a half to go.
OSU quarterback Todd Boeckman, back to pass, got obliterated by reserve safety Ali Highsmith as he threw, and the pass was returned by Chevis Jackson for 34 yards.
Five plays later, Matt Flynn put the ball in Jacob Hester's gut, and Hester pushed through for a 24-10 lead that would not be seriously threatened again.
Flynn was 19 of 27 for only 174, but he had four touchdowns. Hester ran for 86 yards and the other LSU touchdown.
All in all, it was a nice way for LSU to make its exit from the PFW.
OZY MCCOOL: They won't be back, m'Liege?
LSIK&T: Pelini's returning to Nebraska, Lieutenant. While I like LSU okay, Bo was the only reason I followed them.
OZY MCCOOL: Oh.
This week: 2-2 (Perfect Football Weekend achieved - executive decision due to the LSU championship). Final 2008 record: 60-19 (.759).
The PFW will return in August 2008, when we'll welcome back an old friend - the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled leftard fuckhead bashing.

You. Cannot. Be. Serious. (UPDATED)
Three weeks ago, when this first came up, I was laughing my ass off over it.
Today, I'm freakin' incredulous about it.
The Dullest Moaning Snooze is reporting that June Jones III is leaving paradise in Hawa-effin'-i'i and coming to coach football at SMU.
Yeah, you read right. S-M-fucking-U. Skip-and-Muffy-effin'-University.
There is absolutely no amount of money under seven eight annual digits that would make me leave Hawai'i for a shithole like SMUT. Not without a helluva lotta kicking & screaming, anyway. And June Jones III is doing it voluntarily.
June Jones III - you, sir, are a fucking shithead of a dumbass.
Thatisall™.
UPDATE: So much for my counting skills.
I'd meant to say (in a roundabout way) that it'd take a minimum of $10 million to get me to even consider it.
Leave it to Denizen and blogger David Hartung to point out the error (read: carry the 1) of my ways.

Great moments in up-to-the-minute, cutting-edge "journalism"
Denizens, take a look at this Parade magazine I found in this morning's Dullest Moaning Snooze.
Note especially the date in the upper right corner - January 6, 2008.
What makes this all the more interesting is that the morons at Parade didn't even bother to post-edit the thing to note the December 27th assassination of Bhutto.
Not. One. Mention.
IOW, Denizens, anyone belonging to the Uninitiated™ would read this and think that Bhutto was still alive.
And then the Lame Stream Media™ wonders why their readership is going down.

Year in Review 2007
The only way that one could describe 2007 would be that it was a fucked-up year. The Demoscum managed to lie their way back into control of Congress, causing this pajamajournalist to break out the words "Imperial Socialist" to put in front thereof once again - the first time the term had been used since Spatula City BBS! really was a BBS. Demoscum also lied their way back into Dallas local government, with Dallasites throwing a five-year-old's temper-tantrum and voting in Donktard judges, a lesbo sherriff and a still-under-investigation district attorney.
The Imperial Socialist Congress immediately began attempts to lose the war in Iraq by trying several times to withhold funds from the troops - one of several moves that dropped its approval rating down to a record low level of nearly 10%. Their response was to reintroduce the illegal-alien shamnesty bill, which thankfully failed to make it to President Bush's desk. Twice. ("Thankfully" because Bush, like the limpdick weasel RINO that he is, had indicated he would sign it, thus ruining any chance any Bush ever again has for obtaining the Presidency. Sorry, Jeb.)
Speaking of shamnesty, 2007 was the year Americans got fed up with the hordes of illegal aliens coming across the border and las federales', shall we say, lackadaisical response to our chagrin. Hazelton, PA and Farmers Branch, TX drafted city ordinances to prohibit landlords from renting to illegals. Naturally, anti-American sons-of-bitch (hack, spit) lawyers (hack, spit) became involved and found judges black-robed, needle-dicked tyrants to overturn the will of the people. (IOW, Demoscum S.O.P.)
2007 was the year President Bush finally figured out that you can't run a war with an insufficient number of troops, and signed off on what he called a "surge" (short for "sending in reinforcements") which Demoscum promptly decried - because it promptly worked.
2007 was the year the 2008 Presidential race began. And sadly, that's not a typo. I'm sick of hearing the names Edwards, Osama Obama, Clinton, Giuliani, Huckabee and Romney already.
2007 was the year Dallas sports, for the most part, sucked green donkey dick yet again. A fumbled field-goal snap cost the Cowboys a chance to play for the NFC championship (although, to their credit, they managed to play well enough in the fall to grab home-field for the 07-08 NFC playoffs).
The "Allas" Mavericks lost their "D" just in time to be ousted from the NBA playoffs by the San Transexual Rainbow Warriors, coached by former Mav coach Don Nelson - the first time a team with the best record in the NBA had ever been ousted by an eighth-seed in a seven-game playoff series. Crybaby Mav owner Mark Cuban wasted no time in filing a lawsuit against Nelson for running rings around his slow-assed team.
The Dallas Stars suffered yet another opening-round defeat in the Stanley Cup playoffs - their third in a row. In response, general manager Doug "Doogie Howser" Armstrong made few, if any, moves to shore up the team's weaknesses, then berated the fan base for raising a protest about it. Fortunately, it cost him his job roughly 15 games into the regular season when the Stars played down to expectations.
The Texass stRangers sucked, as usual, and their way-in-over-his-head excuse-for-a-general manager continued to bleat about stocking up on pitching while trading away potential starting pitcher studs. This year it was lefty John Danks pre-season (granted, he got pitching back - when Brandon "Herky-Jerky McStringbean" McCarthy can stay off the disabled list, which isn't often) and Edinson Volquez post-season for Cincinnati crackhead retread Josh Hamilton (if he's all that and a bag of chips, why is he with his third franchise in two years?). Sadly for baseball fans in this area, it earned Daniels a contract extension, rather than a booting of his ass out the door.
Even the Dallas Desperados, favored to win the Arena Football League's championship, choked in a first-round playoff game at home. (Rumors that the American Airlines Center is haunted were unsubstantiated at press time.)
2007 was the year Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts finally got off their collective schneid and won themselves a Super Bowl. 2007 was also the year I was vindicated when I kept saying that the New England Pansies couldn't win anything through legitimate means. They got caught spying on the NY J-E-T-S-JETSJETSJETS!!! and their defensive signals during a game. For which, they promptly received a slap on their limp wrists.
2007 was the year San Antonio won another NBA championship; Mickey Mouse's old hockey team, the Anaheim Ducks, hoisted the Stanley Cup; and the Boston Red Sox enjoyed their second World Series sweep in three years.
2007 was the year we lost (among others): Luciano Pavarotti, Evel Knievel, Norman Mailer, Beverly Sills, Robert Goulet, Kurt Vonnegut, Anna Nicole Smith, Ike Turner, Yvonne De Carlo and Deborah Kerr.
We also lost former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, a personal favorite of this scribe. She was gunned down after a political rally by a Mooselimb son-of-a-bitch who then proceeded to blow himself up - the pigdick-sucking coward.
Personally, 2007 for me had its ups & downs - mostly downs. I managed to hang onto my job for another year, and am in fact now pulling in $50K annually, which is nice. And my weight pretty much stayed the same - which, while not being great, isn't catastrophic.
However, yet another marriage crashed & burned - this one after only three months. Can't talk much about it now, as proceedings are still in progress. But the Dockmistress and her daughter are in the Pegasus airlock for a reason, which I'll be revealing later this year.
And finally - yes, you just knew I was gonna mention this, didn't you? - yet another year passed where no one took me up on the infamous CSITMF™ challenge...least of all Mikey "Mykki Chickenshit" Cortese - whom, reports say, has taken down his little personal web site where he blew all the methane out of his shriveled-up piehole.
Breaks my heart.
But, I digress. In 2008, the challenge for which I'm notorious throughout the ball-less left-o-sphere is going away. I've moved out of Lina St, and after seven some-odd years of daring people to put their money where their bullshit was and being stood up all those times (not to mention actually going to Florida once to meet someone and the pussy chickening out on me), I've decided that I'm bored with the whole schtick of that, and that it's time to put it on the shelf. Pity - I was really hoping some leftard coward would take me up on it. (sigh) Oh, well.
Anyway, that's one resolution, as it were. Here are some others I plan on undertaking (we'll bypass the ones about losing weight and all - by now, those should go without saying):
1. Try to be more personable. I'm not exactly what you'd call a social butterfly, when I very well could be - the potential is there. Efforts will be undertaken this year to smile more, frown less.2. Go to church more. This is something that always seems to get neglected, especially when I'm living by myself. IOW, it's easy to go when a wife is dragging you along; in solo mode, not so much. I can afford to go a little more often - and I think Our Lord and Savior would probably appreciate the effort to come to His house.
3. Get a 401K established. I'm living paycheck-to-paycheck right now, and that's pathetic on $50K annually. So we'll see what we can do to get some savings built back up.
4. Continue other traditions. Such as being the only red-blooded American heterosexual male who is not impressed with either Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, "Tila Tequila" (more on her in a subsequent post), Gwen Stefani, Pink or Eva Longoria.
And finally...
5. Continue to piss off liberals everywhere I go. You knew that one was coming, didn't you?
Most of all, I resolve to thank all of you once again for making this blog a part of your day. Without you guys, I'm doing nothing more than screaming into the wind. I'm most grateful for each one of you. Even if there really are only six or seven of you.
Happy New Year 2008. Let's go kick some leftist ass!

Programming note
Between taking down the tree, getting the oil changed in the car and various other stuff, I'll be attempting something resembling a Year In Review post for 2007.
Look for it to be a somewhat snarly tone, as the year wasn't the greatest, AFAIC. (This year isn't starting off that great, either, come to think of it, which may contribute to the general snarliness.)
