Love That Dare Not Squeak Its Name

I have long believed this, not because I go around looking for this sort of activity but because some of the most conservative people I know - farmers and ranchers in Louisiana and Texas - have told me about how horses.... well you get the idea. I'm not about to base law and custom on that, but I do realize that we as a society are never going to be "rid" of the gay question.

Iraq Wasn't Threatening with Snowballs

Donald Rumsfeld, speaking today with a clarity that eludes most leftists:

"If someone is going to throw a snowball at you, you may not want to act pre-emptively. You can afford to take the blow and do something after the fact. As you go up the scale from snowballs to the weapon of mass destruction, at some point...there's not going to be a snowball in your face but a biological weapon that can kill tens of thousands of human beings...The greater the danger, the lower the threshold for action."

"I know in my heart and my brain that America ain't what's wrong with the world."

When will everyone in this country realize that WE are the good guys? As Victor Davis Hanseen points out in a recent National Review article, there are about 100,000 corpse which if given the chance to speak up would have preferred we oust this genocidal maniac long be fore we grew the cojones to do it and not give a damn what anybody else thought.

A great bomb lobbed at Europe by John McCain in the same forum:

"It wasn't just an American intelligence failure, it was German, it was French, it was British, it was Israeli -- it was all intelligence failures, and we need to find out why that happened."

Take that, Monsieur Smartie!

Professor Removed for Saying He's Catholic

Nobody, especially not a philosophy teacher, should have to hide their Catholicism in this day and age. This is discrimination, plain and simple.

MTV’s Musical Misdemeanor

Professor Carson Holloway on MTV & Super Bowl on National Review Online:

"Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's performance during the MTV-produced Super Bowl halftime show has reignited America's musical culture war. This moral conflict had been dormant since issues of terror and security, war and peace, drove it from the forefront of public concerns; but its reemergence required only the conjunction of some sense of a return to normalcy and a sufficiently asinine action by a sufficiently successful performer %u2014 which is to say that its reemergence was inevitable. We are therefore confronted again with the question whether some pop music degrades our culture by deforming the character of the young people who consume it. Those interested in this important question owe Jackson and Timberlake some thanks for reopening the subject."

Hmmm...

I had a thought I wanted to post here, but it must not have been very important because I don't recall what it is now. If you can figure out what it is, print out this page and scribble it in where this nonsense is, and onec you read it, ball up the sheet of paper and throw it away.

Britney 'still dating ex-hubby'

So the guy gets paid off and she's still after him? Either he's the luckiest s-o-b in the world or has the largest usig known to man.

Janet Out Of Grammys

Justin does the pulling, the camera gets the boob, but Janet gets the boot. Somehow, I don't see the fairness here. I personally believe she went along with this - even going so far as to fall on the sword for MTV, who obviously planned this regardless of what they're saying publicly.

Make no mistake - MTV are the bad guys here, for putting this whole thing on. They should be slapped around for assaulting our senses with their garbage.

As for the wardrobe malfunction, Master Thespian himself sheds some light on the situation:

"Comedian Jon Lovitz told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson that Justin's 'revealing' strip was indeed unintentional.

'You think it was a wardrobe malfuntion?' Shaun asked Jon.

'That's exactly what it was. That's just a fact. Adam Sandler's manager Sandy Warnick was at the Super Bowl with the wardrobe person when it happened,' explained Jon. 'She freaked out and said, 'Oh no!' because it wasn't supposed to happen. She had that red thing underneath but it got ripped away -- that's all.'"

Cubans in floating Buick are sent back to Cuba, car sunk

What? People still want to leave Cuba? That's not what Robert Redford and Jesse Jackson said?!

The policy of the Coast Guard is infuriating. We are suppossed to encourage those who want to be free, not sink their boat and throw them back into Cuba for prosecution. Someone who would be ingenius enough to rig trucks and cars from Detroit's golden age to float on water like something out of Major Boothroyd's Q Branch would certaily flourish in the free market.

Teacher Sucked On Student's Toes

Nothing like this ever happened at my school. We didn't even have a swingset, much less swingin'.

Oregonians Soundly Defeat Tax Increase

Even liberals on the left-coast people are beginning to wake up and smell the waste in government.

Taking on Benham:

Another day, another bas-Benham story:

"Greg Accardo says he's running for Jim Benham's council seat because he wants to improve Baton Rouge, creating a vibrant District 12 as a model for the rest of the community. Smokie Bourgeois said he wants to take Benham's spot because he's tired of incompetence on the council and council members who are looking at the job as a stepping stone to other political offices. Benham is running again, reversing an earlier declaration that he would not seek a fourth term. Benham backed a Wal-Mart on congested College Drive, which was opposed by hundreds of residents of his district. How would Accardo and Bourgeois have handled the hot issue? Accardo, who owns student housing on Nicholson Drive at the North Gates of LSU, said Wal-Mart's developers are spending money to remake a downtrodden Village Square. He would have alerted constituents very early about the store so they could be involved in the planning. Bourgeois, who owns George's restaurants, said he would have opposed putting the Wal-Mart on the clogged street. He also would have asked for an exit strategy, as other municipalities now are doing. Under the exit strategy, if Wal-Mart shut down the store, it would have two years to tear it down and redevelop the site, said Bourgeois."

Nice to see Smokey Bourgeois - the bar owner with shoulder length hair, earring, and scowl - standing against re-developing flagging properties in the middle of town.

Coming-out day for conservatives

I must admit, this headline had me going for a minute. On the surface I thought we had some Log Cabin-style Republicanism going on.

Top Stories - Last Test Confirms Senate Substance Is Ricin

It's worth repeating that the country which produced ricin in large quantities for use in terror related activities was Iraq. According to the Dems way of thinking, had we never invaded Iraq these letters would never have been sent. Before the week is out, they will be saying that. Of course, such a position doesn't take into consideration that Iraq could have produced tons more ricin if we hadn't invaded them.

On the Downbeat

Here's my solution: put these two (one of whom was on the pregame show) on next year's halftime show.

Junior's whining again

Seeing Wesley Clark Jr. on CNN, I was colossally unimpressed. This quote proves to me that my initial impression was correct:

"Wesley Clark Jr. saw the early exit polls. For whatever reason, he's standing in front of a crowd of reporters outside Clark campaign headquarters in Oklahoma, looking bitter and sounding as if he thinks his father's campaign is over. 'It's been a really disillusioning experience,' the candidate's 34-year-old son says. 'We sacrificed a hell of a lot for this country over 34 years. We lived in a damn trailer when I was a freshman in high school.'"

Sacrifice? What the hell do you want, a fucking medal? Your dad has a lot of those but that didn't make him a great candidate. You're even more of a neophyte than he is! Lots of people live in trailers and they never get to be President. In the words of Tom Hagen, "This is business, it's not personal Sonny!" This country owes nothing to you or your dad. He chose to serve in the military and sacrifice for the nation...for that he became a four star general, not a shabby honor. Just like my dad isn't owed any job nor am I nor will my children if ever I have any. We are grateful for the services and those who care (and I don't really) commend you for whatever sacrifices you may have made that were out of your control. But get over it and yourself!

Some of the most non-military characteristics have been visible from Wesley Clark on the campaign trail. With statements like "If the president had gotten fair coverage, he never would have gotten elected in the first place," it's easy to see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That or the Kool-Aid was especially potent at Clark headquarters.

Your time is gonna come:

From the Daily Report:

"Running against Benham: The race for Metro Council District 12 could be crowded. Property owner Greg Accardo is raising money to run for Jim Benham's seat. Benham said this morning he plans to run for re-election, reversing direction from an earlier declaration not to run for a fourth term. 'I've had a fund-raiser and raised almost $12,500,' said Benham. Word on the street is that R.J. 'Smokie' Bourgeois, owner of George's restaurants, will run for the spot. He lost to Benham in a previous try. Bourgeois and Accardo could not be reached for comment this morning. "

E! Online News - Feds Get Nasty with Miss Jackson:

Irony, defined:

"for the record, more private parts (one) were bared on the over-the-air Super Bowl than on the subscriber-only Lingerie Bowl (none)."

Nail on the head

From The Corner on National Review Online, a reader sounds off:

"...I found it depressing, banal, un-sexy, unimaginative, degrading and condescending. It was so obviously designed to 'shock and offend' us middle-class goobers. They substitute 'shock' for actual talent. No doubt the MTV types evaluate their success on the level of public 'outrage'. "

Incomplete!

Tom Shales is no prude and even he found some of the spots and the halftime show distasteful. (Again, I loved the farting horse.)

At Least 1 Killed as New England Fans Turn Violent

"...rowdy fans overturned cars, broke windows, set fires and pelted police with bottles and other objects following the Patriots' second Super Bowl victory in three years."

WTF? You'll notice that none of this kind of hooligan crap took place when LSU won. Then again, we're not a bunch of uptight, angry, frozen-over northerners who have to put up with liberal b-s every day.

Animated Janet Rip

Methinks Drudge is enjoying this WAY too much.

Personally, it's not that seeing Janet's nipple is an objectionable thing. In a perfect world I'd love to see them both glistening perkily along with Janet's smile and longing eyes looking up at me from a relaxed position on my Sealy. But, in all honesty a.) that's never going to happen; and b.) it would in the privacy of the boudoir (although I might film it for later personal review.)

This display was international television - oh what the Chinese must have thought - with millions of children viewing, especially when (goo-goo-ga-ga) JUSTIN! came out. By the way, I so do not believe the explanation of Timberlake and MTV who say this was unintentional or accidental. What posseses one to pull off articles of clothing on others, and what did Justin think was going to happen? A publicity stunt is what this was, so it could live forever as an entry in a VH1 special like "most shocking moments..."

When it comes to the opinion of the world community, admittedly I don't give a fuck when President Bush pisses off the leaders of other nations. We are the good guys (you will never convince me otherwise)and we elect him to keep us safe and preserve our interests. But we didn't elect Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, P. Diddly-Squat, Nelly, Kid Rock and MTV to bump and grind in front of the whole world. It makes us look like a bunch of libertines with no concern over what sort of raunchy display takes place in public and/or is piped in to our homes where children may be watching. Tha majority of Americans are more like those in the stands and on the field than those performing during halftime. We want to have a halftime show that shows the world how great American civilization is. I say, let's have a huge swinging band and Tony Bennett come out to sing something from the great American songbook, something with class. Let's elevate the proceedings, not lower them.

It is a shame that the Donald Wildmons of the world on the pro-family right are raving lunatics, because average Americans need a voice to tell the media to stop this nonsense.

Pizza places busy for Super Bowl Sunday

Not at my house, but I'm sure elsewhere.

OUTRAGE AT CBS AFTER JANET BARES BREAST

I hope parents say "enough!"

Damn!

I was rootimg for Jake Delhomme and the Panthers. Oh well.

D'oh! This ad cost how much?!

New champ for best spot: the Homer Simpson Mastercard ad. When Fox gets around to releasing the umpteenth season of The Simpsons on DVD, I hope they include that spot. Instant classic!

Worst half-time show ever

Notice how the kids on the floor are jumping up and down but the people in the stands are doing nothing. I hope they let out a litany of boos when this b-s is done. Janet - Miss jackson because I'm nasty - nobody wants to see you and a bunch of extras from A Clockwork Orange doing some artsy b-s. Justin Timberlake you have little appeal to the football crowd. I don't dare mention what the crowd and viewers at home were saying when Nelly and P. Diddy and/or Kid Rock was on stage. Parents whose children are watching the Super Bowl, how you must appreciate the constant references to getting naked in the songs performed.

That distinctively clean crisp taste

Okay, I laughed out loud at the Budweiser farting horse commercial!

Talk about a low scoring game

When are either of these teams going to get on the board?!

SaveDisney.com

If Steve Jobs's actions with Pixar gave Michael Eisner enough headaches, here comes Roy Disney with a website detailing his vision for the company founded by his father and uncle.

"What is Roy's position on the changes at Walt Disney Feature Animation?

'The drain of talent - pure talent - from one single department, Feature Animation, has been absolutely gut-wrenching in the past year. People are being asked to leave because management - meaning Michael Eisner - can't figure out what to do with them. That is not the fault of the talent... it's the fault of management.'

--Roy E. Disney"

A tip of the hat to Roy. He knows the error of the belief of Hollywood holds that traditional animation doesn't make money. Good stories and good production values are what animation needs.

Defendant part of big cannibal scene, detective tells court

Once again, the German people distinguish themselves as pillars of humanity:

"...officers had discovered a flourishing cannibal scene in Germany, he said, involving middle-class professionals, as well as manual workers. 'We are talking about dentists, teachers, cooks, government officials and handymen,' he told the court, during the second day of Mr Meiwes' trial for murder.

"He added: 'These are people who come from the middle reaches of society.' "

One can only imagine what will happen when the German people are allowed to mingle their DNA with the massive number of middle eastern immigrants flooding into their country and the rest of Europe.

Cannibal's House of Horror

There's no limits to the depths of human depravity. Upon reading this disgusting account, I'm beginning to think that the Scottish Cardinal's comments about perversion are spot on.

Is Soros Planning 'October Suprise' for Bush?

If this is true, the Securities and Exchange Commission should act swiftly.

How Fast Does Rich Hatch Go?

That's the real question coming from this no-star alumni version of Survivor. I must admit, during the show's first incarnation I was a rabid fan. Once the novelty wore off during the second series, I was so out of there. Nevertheless, I hope this curremt bunch sends Rich packing early to show folks everywhere that you can only screw people over so many times before you ultimately lose.
