The Gold Medal game for Men’s Hockey begins in approximately one-half hour: Canada vs. the USA. One particular group of Fans have let the USA Hockey Team know that they support them all the way. In the words of General Manager Brian Burke:

“The real heroes in America don’t wear hockey uniforms, they wear police uniforms, they wear camo, they wear fire uniforms, and we want our players to understand that what we do is small potatoes compared to what those people do.”

Of course, neither Президент Оба́ма nor the Demo☭rats have ever understood this, and they never will.
GO USA!

UPDATE (1620 MST): Final Score, in OT: Canada 3, USA 2. What a game!

Here’s where things stand after fifteen days of competition, eh:

Canada should definitely be happy. After all, they have more Gold Medals than we do, so I’d say “Own The Podium” is a success, eh.

Here’s a classic from the 70s, which you’ve heard during the Winter Olympics on a T&AT commercial…“Perfect Day” by Lou Reed:

Here’s the latest Rasmussen Tracking Poll for Президент Оба́ма:

How Low Can He Go?

Today, I finally ripped down the last of the BSG episodes (specifically, 4.5, which I was able to snag from Target last night for only $16.99!). So no more iTunes bulls**t for that series.
I also got my copy of the soundtrack for The Plan and Razor in the mail today from Amazon.com, and those are already ripped down to AAC 256K. More aural chamalla for me!
Yes, I am a Happy Camper.

This is from RIX, a commenter over at The Blogmocracy:

I think that it’s clear what’s going on here.
The debate is over, the science is settled, it’s caused by
Global Warming.
A glacier melted causing a disconsolate Polar Bear to dive into the ocean to commit suicide.
The splash put moisture into the atmosphere which caued snow, which caused the gas pedals to stick.

For this, he gets 3.8 TRILLION UPDINGS!

Here’s Президент Оба́ма, courtesy of a screen capture from Vodkapundit, showing his disdain for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) when he took the Президент to task:

Note a certain finger fully extended.
Президент Оба́ма had no intention whatsoever to be bipartisan in his approach to health care deform. Just this photo alone shows he got his a** handed to him by the Republicans.
Reconciliation (as performed by the Demo☭rats of course) will likely commence on Monday. But I hear the House will have trouble getting the votes. Gee I wonder why.

See Bob Beckel, debating his brother Graham recently on Hannity:

Now check this out…I was very surprised about this other role Graham didn’t mention:

Why…that’s Jack Fisk!

Now here’s an amusing web app:

When the guy who ate, breathed, drank, slept, shot, and s**t Star Trek 24/7 wasn’t talking about Star Trek, he regularly cited SUVs in general, and Hummers in particular, as examples of how irresponsible we are and how we should not be allowed to drive them, as they are damaging the environment.
And he called himself a “moderate.” Tranzi-Progressive is more like it.

Now, he’s probably celebrating with his fiancé over the demise of Hummer, now that the DFC Chinese have nixed the deal which would have sent the brand overseas. Perhaps it’s just as well; I certainly didn’t like the idea of their owning the brand.
Still, I believe Hummer will be revived by an American firm, and it will stay where it belongs. In the US of A.

It’s been an interesting week to say the least:

Русский хоккей империи больше нет: Большое спасибо, Канада!

WIDOW VS. WIDOW: I hope the IRS Worker’s wife gets it ALL!

OБАМА: IT’S NOT SOCIALISM: He Lies.

That doesn’t mean I’m gonna go and watch the movie. WARNING: NSFW!

I miss Ronald Reagan, and I’m sure many of you do the same.
Here’s a fifty-year-old recording about…wait for it!...Socialized Medicine. As in Оба́маcare:

I report, you decide:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is complaining that domestic political battles are hurting the president’s foreign policy goals and damaging America’s image abroad.
Clinton was testifying before a congressional committee Wednesay when she said fights between the White House and Congress had led to “gridlock” in appointing officials to critical positions, including those with key foreign policy and international assistance responsibilities. That has created confusion among friends and allies.
She told the Senate Appropriations Committee that delays and holds placed on the nominations of several ambassadorial and senior State Department positions had been problematic.

Remember how she said that Dissent was the highest form of Patriotism? Shrillary must sure love her country now. Oh, and Frak The AP Disclaimer!

If you live in Europe and are about to purchase Windows 7 (and apparently also for Vista and XP users), you will get to pick the browser you want to install with your operating system…no thanks to the European Union, which has gone further than even the US Government did a decade ago.

Don’t get me wrong…a whole bunch of Microsoft products still suck, but the Government should not be getting into what can and cannot be installed on an OS. Authoritarian groups tend to go for that.
