Line schmine, we'll score 'em into submission

Ok, so we got some really good players who are going to contribute immediately.

I am still shaking my head that we got both Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed.

One lineman, though? Hope you're ready to do some running around that pocket Big Ben. You've got the big target you wanted. No fucking excuses now.

Ring, bitch!

Why does anyone think the Dems would grow a set now?

I came across this piece and it got me to thinking.

Hillary's argument is that the Democrats have to pick her because Bammy's unelectable. She's asking them to go against the guy who's won more states. She's asking hem to turn against a guy who's a money machine. She's asking them to say fuck you to the African-American vote. She's asking them to deny the nomination to the guy who's leading in delegates and in the popular vote.

Granted, his name's Barack Hussein Obama, he's half black, he's tied to a dirty real estate developer, an equally dirty Iraqi billionaire, a batshit crazy preacher who is on youtube screaming God Damn America, married to a woman who is just now - for the first time in her adult life - proud of America. He's also made headlines trashing small-town Americans as clinging to religion and bigotry and guns because they're bitter about the economy. This is a guy who can barely even stand to be questioned at all. His lead strategist just wrote off white working class voters as Republicans. Basically Bammy's assembling a weaker version of the old McGovern coalition.

Now say what you will about Hillary, she's not going to go gentle into that good night and despite her negatives has every expectation of being the next POTUS. However she has to do it!

But she's depending on the SupreDelegates. I like to imagine them as a buncha politicians in capes. The trouble is they are Democrats. As such they are so risk averse and tone-deaf that they nominated John Kerry last time out. Prior to that they ran Dukakis, Mondale and McGovern. I leave out Gore because he was a legacy - they really had no choice and could not have imagined how badly Shrum would fuck that up - and won the popular vote. By all rights he should have buried Dubya, buried him. But I digress. They're Democrats and will not go out on a limb.

She thinks she's going to get them to see Bammy as the take a chance candidate, but it's too late. She never took this serious, thinking it was a coronation and now it's really too late. The Supes are not going to overturn the popular lead. Especially not against a black guy. C'mon. Be serious. They'd have to turn in their cards as liberals. They see memories of '68 when they should be seeing '72. No one wants the fight because deep down - just like they are of Islamists - they're scared shitless of what them crazy niggers will do! And we're the racists.

So Democrats, you're gonna send up Bammy and his inability to win even white Democrats against a war hero whose salad the press loves to toss. Let's see how that works out for ya.

Too Many QBs

So I keep hearing rumors that the Ravens are going to pick Chad Henne in the 2nd round.

So he'd be on the same team as the QB who beat him three times in college.

I cannot believe that Ozzie's this dense. He's got his QB of the future right there and his name is Troy Smith. He will be a star in this league somewhere. If not in Baltimore it will be somewhere else.

The kid just wins, baby.

Look back and Laugh

What a week!

Steve Rosenthal - former executive director of America Coming Together - decided to have a buncha kids make fun of John McCain's age despite a promise form Howard Dean that age was off-limits.



That silence you hear is Democrats denouncing this ad and this group.

Over in Bammyland, he slyly flipped Hillary the bird.



I guess that's what happens when you lose a debate in such a spectacular fashion.

Please send us this guy in the fall, Democrats. Please.

Meanwhile, our old pal, the peanut farmer from Plains, GA, left us with this:

"In a democracy, I realize you don't need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels," he said over the weekend, responding to a question from an Israeli journalist who noted that Mr. Carter had been snubbed by most of Israel's top leadership and reprimanded by its president, Shimon Peres. "When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that's the dictator, because he speaks for all the people."

According to the Ultrasound Tech...

...it's a GIRL.

I am still holding out some small hope that the Amnio might prove that it's actually a boy and he was tucking. Not that the fact that he was tucking in the womb would really be much consolation. Oh who'm I kidding? 10 fingers, 10 toes and an evil glint in the eye are really all I care about.

Christ.

It was very cute watching her moving around. She was indeed waving for the camera.

And she's got square Swan feet.

Poor thing.

In honor of this, I offer:

Weather, schmeather, we got guys with FIREBOMBS!

I shit you not. In Ridgewood, Queens last night we had a guy up on his roof flinging Molotov cocktails down at the NYPD. One of the cops was quoted, "Well we were at a significant disadvantage because he had the high ground on us." I never thought I would hear that said about an incident on the streets on Queens. Ya gotta love NYC, eh?

What do you do about people who decide that once thay have dones something or bought something or seen something that whatever they have done or however they have done it is the BEST way that it can be done and anyone who would do otherwise is a fool? Do you know anyone like this? They're the people who, when you tell them about somthing you're considering, proceed to explain in stunningly condescending manner just exactly how you need to go about doing it. Never a "well, have you thought about this?" or a "I've heard that some people had had success doing it that way." Nope, just "Oh, you're doing that? Well, what you need to do is this." My brother does it sometimes but I cut him slack becuase he's moderately brain-damaged from his divorce and sometimes he thinks he's still 21 and I'm still 11. But people who are your peers? Fuck them. And if they are related by blood, I spit on them and toss canine fecal mater in their general direction.
