Thank you Texas for taking care of these guys at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl!

Yet another Clintonista retread appears in the coming Оба́ма Administration, as the President-Elect selects former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta to head the Central Intelligence Agency. With practically NO experience in the intelligence field, БХО assures us that no one will know what the hell they are doing at Langley.
“Oh, but he doesn’t have any connections to the errors of the Bush regime,” the left will state. Oh, but Pinhead-a sure has connections to the previous regime, where the seeds of 9/11 were planted whlee Bill Clinton got his service from Monica.

In undergoing some “spring cleaning” here, the Official Roommate found an amazing device dating back to the early 1990s: a Sony Discman DD-1EX electronic book, a bulky unit which his dad gave to him about twelve years ago. He doesn’t know if it still works. Wouldn’t that be somethign if it did!
Here are two photos: the first is of the unit itself; the second is a side-by-side comparison to another device which fulfills that function and then some: the iPhone 3G.
Needless to say, I got a retro kick out of it too.

As Israel continues to kick the s**t out of Hamas with a ground offensive in progress, the 63rd President of the UN General Assembly, DFC Priest (and adherent of Liberation Theology), Miguel D’escoto Brockmann, is livid that the US vetoed yet again another bulls**t resolution condemning Israel:

“I think it’s a monstrosity; there’s no other way to name it. Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunctionality of the Security Council.”

Is he that stupid to realize that George W. Bush is still President until noon ET on January 20th? Obviously, he is. The guy can also whine, bitch and moan all he wants about the Security Council. It wouldn’t surprise me if he wasn’t invited to any decadent UN diplomat parties for a short while.

A performance of Philip Glass’ Metamorphosis One:

Nice and soothing...don’t you agree!

This video speaks for itself. This does not take place in Gaza, Paris, London, or even Detroit, but in Fort Lauderdale, Florida:

RoPMA™!

HAT TIP: Mere Rhetoric

It’s pretty obvious that since Alaska Governor Sarah Palin entered the national political spotlight, she and her family would be under scrutiny, and they have. Now that her grandson’s been brought into the world, the MSM still considers them targets:

And here I thought this was going to be a two-page story.

Now this is not a good sign for our Troops. According to the Army Times, 6 out of 10 respondents overall feel БХО will not be a good Commander in Chief. Gee, I wonder why. One thing is for sure: I won’t have to ask this of my brother-in-law, who’s an Air Force Lifer; he definitely will not like having him around. Said a Chair Force Lieutenant:

“How are you going to safely pull combat troops out of Iraq? And if you’re pulling out combat troops, who are you leaving to help support what’s left? What happens if Iraq falls back into chaos? Are we going to be there in five years doing the same thing over again?”

And of course, when it comes to the black respondents, 8 out of 10 were optimistic about the guy. Still, he will be ”The Boss” and when he gives an order, they will say “Yes, Sir!”

Since yesterday was New Year’s Day and I didn’t feel like posting anything other than the holiday greeting (not to mean that I didn’t want to), I decided to wait until today for this one.
Fifty years ago, a 32-year-old Fidel Castro, with his 27-year-old brother Raul beside him, led his forces to overthrow the government of Fulgencio Batista. He was, at first, welcomed by the Eisenhower Administration:

“I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.”

Of course, the Son of a Bitch lied about that too…
Right at the top of the list of congratulatory messages for keeping their people in bondage: nothing but DFCs: Comrades Chavez, Ortega, Morales, Hu, and Medvedev. Let’s face it, the only way Cuba has a chance will be when both Fidel and Raul die.

Time to turn the page....

Apropos:

Hey, does anyone out there have a Zune mp3 player? Yeah, the one produced by Microsoft. Turns out if you do, they are resetting all over the world!

SAN FRANCISCO - Happy New Year from Microsoft Corp.: Your Zune is dead.
Thousands of Microsoft’s Zune media players — the software company’s answer to Apple Inc.’s iPod — unexpectedly conked out Wednesday and showed users an error message, prompting references to “Y2K for Zunes.” The problems appeared when people tried to start up their devices.
Frustrated users lit up Microsoft’s online support forum for Zunes with more than 2,500 messages by Wednesday afternoon.

I attempted to inform the Official Roommate about this development, but I’m unable to communicate with him, because he’s rolling around on the floor laughing his a** off!
Why does this not surprise me?

And now, in the midst of the raging crisis in the Народная Республика Ильиной, there’s not one Race Card being issued...but TWO!
First, Governor Rod Blagojevich gets one for appointing former State Attorney General and State Comptroller Roland Burris. This appointment is Blago essentially saying F**k You to the Legislature and People of the НРИ, and also to the United States Senate!
Second, Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL), who was a member of the DFC Black Panthers before being elected to Congress, also gets a Race Card for daring the Senate not to ”hang or lynch” this appointment.
Yep, I can see this whole frakkin’ mess go to SCOTUS. Ugh.

After catching a cold on Christmas Eve, and spending the next day in utter ugh-ness, I actually went back to work on the 26th and 27th, only to have it flare up on Sunday, and so I stayed home on Monday; this time, it also affected one of my teeth which has a filling dating way back to 1971! Methinks it’s time has come for a new filling.
My dentist called in for some antibiotics and la-la pills. As a result, I feel better to the point where I will go back to work today and finish off the year. Rah.
So what’s out there today?

ILL. LT. GOV SAYS BLAGO GONE SHORTLY: This guy hasn’t spoken to his boss in over a year, or so he says. Real good communication there.

MCKINNEY TURNED AWAY BY ISRAELIS: Apparently, her UN-Approved Race Card didn’t matter.

TAXPAYER-FUNDED CONGRESSIONAL MOTORS ADS: They should be thanking Pelosi, Reid, and Bush. Next: Taxpayer-funded Golden Parachutes for these execs.

As expected, the Detroit Lions fired Head Coach Rod Marinelli today, after three seasons and a 10-38 record to show for it. Then again, many Lions Fans will look back to Matt Millen as the main cause which led to the 0-16 season, the first in NFL History, and Millen was sacked back in September.
As soon as I read this, the Detroit Free Press also reported that Bill Parcells, currently in Miami’s front office and responsible for the Dolphins’ worst-to-first turnaround, is considering the Lions for another head coaching position. Can “The Tuna” help the Lions overcome their losing culture which has permeated that franchise for decades? It’s too soon after the season to tell.
