The American Spectator : AmSpec Preview: 2013 State of the Union Address

TLP| 2.12.13 @ 5:27PM

I vote for Goldstein's.

Seriously, what can they say that they haven't already said?

Too bad that's never gonna happen.

Moe Blotz| 2.13.13 @ 3:10AM

"If Congress does not act, I will." The Constitutional battle resumes.

TLP| 2.12.13 @ 5:28PM

As we sit here, the Republicans are preparing themselves for the Mandatory Applause Lines. Wouldn't wanna come off as Racist. Wouldn't wanna jeopardize those 3 Black Votes we got in Philadelphia.

One wonders what goes through the mind of John Boehnor and others on the Republican Side. One wonders if any of them have any inkling of what role they play at this time in our History.

Our Founding Fathers pledged their Lives, their Property, and their Sacred Honour. Some lost something. Others lost everything. Every man who picked up a Gun and went against That King, put his Life on the line for a chance at Liberty. "Give me Liberty or give me Death" may have been SPOKEN by just one man, but it has been LIVED by every American thereafter who recognized the NEED to make a Stand in the name of Freedom, Liberty and Righteousness. 1,309,000 and counting, have made the Ultimate Sacrifice. 1,309,000 thought that This Country, This System of Governance, and This Way of Life was worth Dying for.

All we're asking of this bunch, is to do the Jobs we sent them to do. They need to Dance with the Girl that brung'em, and to Hell with the other ones. We The People need them to HOLD THE LINE until Help can arrive.

There comes times when everyone has to search inside themselves and ask: What have I done with my life? When things got tough, did I show Courage? When I could've made a difference, did I shy away because of Fear? Has my life had Purpose?

This is that time.

God help us.

Pecos Pete| 2.12.13 @ 5:38PM

I'm not going to watch. But, I am going to have a few drinks and then wake up tomorrow not having wasted my time watching King O preach.

obadiah| 2.12.13 @ 6:56PM

Obama fails. Obama always fails. Dittos.

Rubio, on the other hand, appears ready to advance the "small government" theme by suggesting different beneficiaries of largesse.

state of the union: broke and broken

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 9:15AM

It's Friday, and that means that it's Garbage Day at my house, and soon it will be, on my IPad Screen, as well. It's also Recycle Day, so I'm expecting a lot of the same Entries that some of you continue to send in, because you won't take your Ginkgo Biloba Pills.

There's a lot going on this week, and it's all over the News.

We had Benghazi - again - where we learned that Hamas' Deliveror isn't the Messiah, after all. He's Pontius Pilate, as he, in fact, Washed his Hands of Beghazi that day, and handed off the fates of those Men to the Crowd. (Panetta, and that Disgrace of a Military Officer) After that, he was off to the Colosseum (Vegas) for Bread and Circuses, as well as the company of Whores who like to perform for their Masters at Parties, Inaugurations, and Super Bowls. (Lip Sync This!)

We found out that when that 3 am Call came, not only did President End Times not Answer it?

He had Panetta rip the Cord outta the wall.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 9:33AM

We had one of Eric Holder's People, running around the West Coast Killing White People. Maybe you heard about it?

MAYBE.

It didn't get much play. Blacks Killing Whites rarely does. Blacks Killing other Blacks? If you watch the News? You'll soon discover that Blacks never Kill other Blacks. Or, it would be on the News. Only Whites and Whitespanics kill Blacks. Duh.

The Justice Department was Invisible, as opposed to their ALL IN Response to the Shooting of another Young Black Tough, in Florida, who messed with the wrong guy.

He loved Obama, and Shooting White People.

He loved Beyonce, and Shooting White People.

He was for Gun Control, and Shooting White People.

And the Left loved him and gave him Absolution, because if Barack had a Son? He'd be Shooting White People, too.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 9:57AM

Those are just two of the Stories in the News, this week. There's a lot going on, out there. I just don't remember most of it, and, since today is Garbage Day? I don't have any Papers to peruse.

This is gonna be an Open Line Friday (Something else Limbaugh stole from me) Contest. And, since I'm getting so many questions about all this, on my way cool Facebook Page, I'm gonna go over the Rules, one more time. (I have one Friend on Facebook, and I wish I didn't have that one)

Rule #1) You should probably try and kiss my ass somewhere along the line, if you want a Prize.

Rule #2) Pick a Story from this Week's Headlines, and come up with an Analogy that fits with that Story. It can be a Movie, a Play, an Opera, something from the small room at the back of the Video Store with the Vurtain pulled across the door. (Does Navritil even Play, anymore?) It can be a Poem, a Song, a Showtune, something from the Left Side of the Menu at The Bangkok House. Whatever.

Rule #3) Don't forget Rule #1.

I'd write the rest of the Rules, but they're all basically the same as Rules #1 and #3.

Everyone will be getting a Prize this time, as I've already told you that it's Garbage and Recycle Day at my House, but there are still some things they won't take away.

I'm a little behind, so I'll list the Grab Bag Prize Selection at the very end.

Okay then....................................................

Moe Blotz| 2.15.13 @ 11:23AM

Are you a turtle?

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 12:26PM

You bet your ass I am.

Moe Blotz| 2.15.13 @ 6:17PM

I guess Timmy is not, yet he makes reference to owning an ass.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 7:59PM

I haven't been asked the question since the 1970's, but I still recall the required response.

Moe Blotz| 2.16.13 @ 8:46AM

When I was inducted into the order, the response included "sweet" before ass. My dear old dad answered questions I aksed him when I was in my teens with that same response. At US Steel in 1968 I learned about the turtles and answered the three of the four questions correctly. When I returned home that night, I walked in and asked my dad if he was a turtle. The smile on his face when he answered is permanently embedded in my memory..

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 9:52PM

Perhaps he would accept feeding it a bucket of carrots, rather than trading it some tongue.

John Navratil| 2.16.13 @ 6:31PM

TLP,

O great one, whose ass may be kissed by many (although I must say I would prefer tits), I play in spirit, enjoy the read, but find the intellectual challenge more than I can give due effort to at the moment. It would pain me severely to be found wanting by such an august eminence as you.

(Did I at least get rule #1 right?)

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 7:13PM

If you're going to pass instead of play, I would guess that because of your strict adherence to Rule #1 (along with the mammary reference, which TLP has suggested is always a tiebreaker for the judges), your entry still has a shot at a prize.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 8:23AM

More than a shot.

A Great Shot.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 10:02AM

I've talked enough.

I'll let one of you get things started this time.

Remember.

IT'S OPEN LINE FRIDAY.

You don't all have to use the same Story.

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 10:53AM

Ah Ha! Here I am with the playing field all to myself. I'm here to participate in the GREATEST ANALOGY GAME EVER CREATED! (my homage to rule #1). With sincere apologies to Walt Whitman, herewith my commentary on Obamarx's continual assault on our Constitution.

O Barack! O Barack! (aka “Welcome to the 2014 Republican Senate Majority”)

O Barack, O Barack! What fearful things you’ve done.
The Ship of State, it founders now, much like the setting sun.
The rocks are near, the wails I hear, the people all bemoaning,
while haughtily you fail to see the reckoning that’s coming.
O debt! O debt! O debt!
awash in a sea of red!
While there the Constitution lies,
Fallen. Cold and dead.

O Barack! O Barack! Awake and hear the rumbling.
Awake in fear, the sound you hear, is your mighty hubris crumbling.
For you the bouquets and ribboned wreaths soon will no longer be.
For soon the call of the swaying masses will be to set them free.
O Barack, O Barack
It’s you they’ve come to dread!
For there their Constitution lies,
Fallen. Cold and dead.

But Barack, he does not answer, his visage stern and cold.
He stands alone, unmasked at last, for now the truth is told.
Now finally, the people see, in you alive and well,
Alinsky’s hate, there, by the gate, that beckons them to Hell.
You ‘d thought you’d won, you and your kind.
But the course has been corrected.
And gazing at the deck you find
The Constitution, resurrected.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 11:00AM

As long as you're not Playing WITH Yourself.

Look at you. From No Show to #1 in just 2 Short Weeks. This has Lance Armstrong written all over it.

I'd ask you for some Urine? But I'm afraid you'd give it to me.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 12:02PM

Snap!Snap!Snap!Snap!

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 12:53PM

And not a word from Tim about Whitman being gay. What's this world coming to?

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:27PM

That's because everybody knows that there's no such thing as a Gay Poet.

Just Gay Poetry.

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 7:36AM

Excellent KennesawJack - and thank you for that picture - KEEPSAKE!

Pecos Pete| 2.17.13 @ 8:52AM

KJ: Snap! x 4

A word to the wise: It is not wise to be first poster in the Contest. Being first poster gives Tim too much time to think. And, when it is time to award prizes, he done forgot about the first poster.

Tina B| 2.17.13 @ 10:17AM

Oh Kennesaw, my Kennesaw, how lovely are your writings. I am so in awe, I have to replenish my skills over this weekend, regroup, and join you when I am once again a more worthy opponent.

And in true Mickey Rourke fashion, to all my friends, gulp.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 11:05AM

This is my Entry.

"None of this seemed important enough to think of calling for Brainstorming and Battle Planning in the White House Situation Room."

He's not one of us. I don't believe he's even Human. He's a Characturer of every Demonic Movie we've ever seen. His entire childhood, right up to his first Political Campaign, is an exact replica of The Boys from Brazil. A childhood of Characters, and Situations - Muslims/Marxists/Communists/Atheists/Terrorists/Anarchists/Murderers. It's too much to be true. The Devil's Fingerprints are all over this guy.

I see The Omen. A devil spawn, ushered through life by Godless Evil, with a Tongue that is Alien to the Truth, while the Lies flow from his lips like Water down a Mountain Stream.

I see the Devil in The End of Days movie, in the way that Murder and Death and Poverty and Despair mean nothing to him, if he can't use them for his purposes.

He made a point to Highlight the Shooting of ONE BLACK KID in Florida, because it suited his Purpose to Split the Country in half. Yet, Hundreds of Black Kids are Killed, every day, by other Black Kids, and he says Nothing because there's nothing in it for Him. Nothing that will further the Apocalypse.

No Soldiers, and no-one's coming
They're watching it on T.V.
He's gotta raise Campaign Money
Four Dead in Benghazi

He's not one of us.

He's something else.

R Martin| 2.15.13 @ 11:43AM

Talk about recycling!

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:28PM

I told you they don't take everything.

Just the good stuff.

Hardcard| 2.15.13 @ 11:11AM

Oh this is where it's at. The Pope is packing it in, or so TAS reports. I understand from one of my many secret sources that chuck shumer, jan shakowsky, rahm emanuel, and mike bloomberg are starting the campaign for a run at the Papacy by our own rev. al sharpton to fill Benedict's Throne in time for Easter Week. rev al wants to fill all those holiday baskets with obama phones and mc nuggets. rev. al informs us from his #1 hit news program, that his duties at msnbc and the white house are very time consuming but he can deal with many tasks at once much such much. rev. al further reports that to lighten his new religious stuff he will assign as his co-pope michelle obamao, and appoint as cardinals for the Chicago area, bill ayers, and the very rev. jesse jackson, they are accepting donations immediately,as rev. al always says, "this shit dat I do ain't cheap, and I ain't wearin' no pointy pope cap, this process on my hair is stayin straight". All praying will be optional, but the paying ain't, so get it up chump.

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 11:16AM

HC, you mean he isn't taking The Magic Negro with him?

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 7:40AM

"Barrackthe Magic Negro" by Paul Shanklin is the FUNNIEST skit - I love when Rush plays it just to annoy the libs.

Hey Tim, invite Mr. Shanklin to this forum - he would be a blast.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 12:03PM

Where do you fit Zazu Pitts into the cast?

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:33PM

Leave Angelina Jolie's kid outta this, ya big bully.

You Can't Cheat an Honest Man.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:32PM

The Pope is "Packing" it in?

Don't you mean: Purp is Packing it in?

Actually, I guess that should read: The Purp's having it Packed In.

As in - The Fudge.

Job| 2.16.13 @ 9:27PM

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 11:15AM

Not enough people at the party yet. I think I'll just sit in my car, wait, and stare through the window at Jack and TLP sitting a little too close to one another while "no one's looking".

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 11:44AM

I would like to take this moment to Thank You Bob, for a reason to have a stiff drink tonight. That mental image you painted my be difficult to remove.

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 12:56PM

DS, Great minds think alike. As soon as I read Bobt's post, I put a fresh bottle of Jaeger in the freezer and sent my wife for more Yuengling. I think it's going to take a Herculean effort to get rid of the image. (at least I hope it does)

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 1:15PM

Yea, like the bottles would remain uncracked without my input.

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 2:22PM

Hey now! That sounded much too close to the truth for my comfort!

I hope my liver holds out.

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 5:17PM

That thing's taken more hits than Carlton Fisk's catcher's mitt...probably looks like it too.

Eh, no worries. It's good to go.

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 5:13PM

It might even take a Sandersonian (as in Ben Sanderson from the movie Leaving Las Vegas) effort.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:35PM

So much for Rules #1 and #3.

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 3:03PM

Sorry, I thought I'd get the party started right with a little ball busting.

Pecos Pete| 2.15.13 @ 11:20AM

First, TLP is Pretty. Nough said to qualify under the rules of this here contest.

From the Kingston Trio.

A few changes here and there and we
can sing about Benghazi ...

Hang down your head, Barry O
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Barry O
Four boys, they're bound to die

He sent them to Benghazi
There they lost their lives
He sent them to Benghazi
Killed them with his nap

Hang down your head, Barry O
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Barry O
Four boys, they're bound to die

This time tomorrow
Reckon where Barry'll be
Hadn't a-been for four boys
Barry wouldn't a-been absentee

Hang down your head, Barry O
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Barry O
Four boys, they're bound to die

This time tomorrow
Reckon where Barry'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' ten lookin' at a tee

Hang down your head, Barry O
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Barry O
Four boys, they're bound to die

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 12:17PM

Excellent. Before the weekend is out, I will likely try to pen "Barry in the USA' as a B side to your recording (with the optimistic chorus "Did he ever return ♬♩♪ No he never returned♬♩♪♫".

Li'l Jen| 2.15.13 @ 1:42PM

I have great memories of listening to my dad's Kingston Trio records. I'll base my entry on another popular folk song, covered by the Kingston Trio, and numerous others...

This Land Is My Land
Words by Barack Hussein Obama

Li'l Jen| 2.15.13 @ 1:42PM

This land aint your land, This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the Keystone pipeline, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for Me, not you.

Though I sent weapons south of the border,
I’ll take your rifles, by executive order:
I like my gun runs, but you can’t have one
The Bill of Rights is for Me, not you.

I let four men die, stranded in Benghazi,
I didn’t miss that party with Jay-Z and Beyonce
I blamed a movie, and was helped by Crowley
This press was made for Me, not you.

Those who have worked hard, and saved their money
Don’t pay their fair share; like Buffet’s secretary.
If you own a business, you didn’t build that
You must work for Me, not you.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Hiring."
Why don’t we raise the minimum wage?
Math is good for you, not Me.

Obamacare insured the nation,
Although your health care may now be rationed,
If you like your doctor, you won’t get to keep her
Health care was made for Me, not you.

For those who saw the CBO’s projection,
And may not vote for me with affection,
I’ll just buy more votes, through immigration
This system works for Me, not you.

Nobody living can ever top me,
As I go racing, that road to serfdom;
Nobody living can ever stop me!
This land was made for Me, not you.

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 2:16PM

Outstanding! Simply outdamnstganding.

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 2:23PM

I would give you a standing ovation but I need my hands to keep the room from spinning.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:37PM

I hate to beat a dead horse, but, did anyone else get a Boner reading L'il Jen?

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 2:46PM

Was it before or after beating the dead horse?

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:37PM

It was while I was beating MY dead Horse.

If ya know what I mean.

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 5:16PM

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge!

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 2:59PM

Get Drackman over here. He will.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 2:59PM

This whole weekend will be spent beating dead horse; it we hated it, we wouldn't do it.

Still, I found L'il Jen's entry to be both rousing and arousing, if that helps.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:40PM

You're slurring your words again, ya drunk.

Which reminds me.

Where is Colonel mike 3/505?

Tina B| 2.17.13 @ 10:31AM

No boner, just a very proud feeling that another gal, with brilliance and talent to prove it, has joined the tribe here, at the TLP world's greatest Analogy Repertory Theater of the Absurd. We make the disastrous funny. We pluck the humor right out of the crime and toss it in their faces. Like buckets of fecl matter from a Carnival cruise gone sour.

Me? I wonder about these now separate vacations. Are we paying twice the cost as they fly on different planes and stay in different rentals. Have the couple from Hades found a new way to spend even more of our $$$ on their bloated selves? I will read on, as Kennesaw and Li'l Jen have made my morning and then I'll take my granddaughter to Church to get more of the word of God into her little heart so she knows what's really what. Love to you all and thanks. Go Jen go!

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 11:49AM

" We pluck the humor right out of the crime and toss it in their faces. Like buckets of fecl matter from a Carnival cruise gone sour."

That analogy itself should merit one of the prizes.

KennesawJack| 2.17.13 @ 5:07PM

Amen and amen.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 5:18PM

Glad to see you made it Tina B

Li'l Jen| 2.18.13 @ 1:45PM

I have been following TLP's Friday contest for a while now--and I'm a great fan of yours and all of the regulars. Carnival Cruise has become a great analogy for Obama's America--but while we're stuck on board, it's nice to have a laugh at the "folks who got us into this mess."

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 3:10PM

I suppose my little one sentence quips will not cut it...again.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:38PM

No, they won't.

It was so good even Barry gave it a light golf clap.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:39PM

No, they won't.

About time.

CJW| 2.15.13 @ 7:48PM

Since Jen brought up Buffet paying his fair share, Jean Kerry is set to make a bundle with his Heinz stock. Buffett and a Brazilian guy with a German name (Lemann) are buying Heinz for $72 a share.

Jean will probably double his net worth, unless Teresa was smart enough to do a pre-nup.
The question: Will Jean Kerry pay the 15% cap gains, if he sells, or pay his fair share to reduce the deficit, as demanded by the purps/arnies/vtwins of Republicans?

Jean should be Sec of Tresury, not State. His economic policy is to marry a rich, rich, rich widow.

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 7:48AM

Lil Jen - when you make a presence you make a presence! WOW!

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 7:46AM

Pecos Pete - I think you have me in tears every week. This is so sad, and we do weep for those men and their families and for what obama, hillary and the evil ones have accomplished in such a short time. LORD help us.

BShep| 2.15.13 @ 11:37AM

OPEN. LINE. FRIDAY. Bill from Michigan, what do you have to say?

Hi TLP, love your show, first time caller, long time listener. I saw a story on Drudge about a food fight in a high school in Minnesota which turned into a brawl.

One of the lines in the story was “The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.”

Another line was “One student, Abdi Sheikh, said he saw hundreds of students fighting in what appeared to be a racial incident.”

Did you get that? The fight was between “Somali Americans” and “African Americans” and the fight “appeared to be a racial incident”. Being that Somali is in AFRICA, shouldn’t the first line read more like this, “The fight was the result of long simmering tensions between various groups in the 28% of students who are African Americans” or “The fight was the result of long simmering tensions between muslim and non-muslim African Americans”?

Since it has been a long time since I was last in school and I never had the privilege of enlightened education regarding the wonders of diversity, HOW WAS THIS A RACIAL INCIDENT??????

Maybe the Somali Americans came from Somali Switzerland, or Somali Denmark??

What do I win???

BShep| 2.15.13 @ 11:43AM

Rule #1 - "Love your show".
Rule #2 - "Wonders of Diversity"

Can I add a “through the looking glass” analogy here or is it too late?

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 12:06PM

I don't know what TLP will be hearing from the judges, but you're on your way to a Rookie of the Week award at the very least.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:41PM

On his way?

He's there, already.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:45PM

It's never too late.

We're open til Sunday 5 O'clock.

And, this story just gives Confirmation to something I wrote about a Month ago.

NOBODY likes them. Not even the Africans.

Years ago, my Dad had a Customer who had a Big Estate. That guy had a Black Family, from the Islands, who lived on the Property, and took care of things, since he was gone a lot.

This Caretaker told my Dad how much he didn't like Blacks. He said: I know that we're Black, too. But we're not like the American Blacks.

That's all anyone needs to know.

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 8:20AM

Hardcard| 2.15.13 @ 12:42PM

My sources have informed me that, this week's Grand Prize is an all inclusive Carnival Cruise. Really no shyt !! It is recommended that you bring hip boots and MRE's for two weeks. Please leave next of kin info with TPL.

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 1:12PM

Beautiful!

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 1:34PM

I concur with Mr. Grant. The beauty of the entry is that is relevant to the news of the week as well as the continuity of the contest. Brilliant and pithy (and no, the last adjective is not me lisping while describing the shipboard restroom accommodations).

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:47PM

It's you talking after one too many at Happy Hour/The Early Bird Special.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 3:02PM

It's off to Happy Hour now. I'll be back later this evening, and expect we should be over 100 comments by then.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:45PM

We will be.

And, 60 of them will be mine.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 8:01PM

116 when I returned.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 9:09PM

I'm thinking at least 150 by midnight EST, and then there's BL in AK.

BL in AK| 2.16.13 @ 4:15PM

Started my happy hour earlier than usual and was OBE by 11 PM AK time.

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 2:17PM

I wouldn't mind being knee-deep in stranger's caca for two weeks in an enclosed container in the middle of the ocean with nothing to eat but MRE's.

What bothers me is my next of kin having contact with TLP.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 2:51PM

That's a good plan, and I appreciate that.

If you were to have all the ones who Can't Stand You, contact me?

It would take up my whole day.

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 2:58PM

What can I say, I'm a giver and you would drive them nuts. You're my revenge.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:46PM

I'll do my best.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 1:22PM

I followed the story out in LA over the last week or so, brought to a fiery conclusion midweek at Big Bear Lake (where Sara Connor went to hide out in the first Terminator movie, if I recall correctly). As a career lawman, I am familiar with how organizations can develop pathologies, that can take them from being revered to reviled in a short period of time. As a former military officer who continues to serve after more than a quarter century in law enforcement who has experienced retaliation and career setbacks as a result of confrontations with members of management behaving unlawfully and not adhering to their oaths to support and defend the Constitution, I thought I might be able to find common cause with someone from that background with similar experiences.

Of course, as I read the Facebook Manifesto, I realized that I was perusing the words of an unbalanced narcissistic sociopath who supported generally leftist causes and had been given power that he never should have been let near, and now was resisting a flawed society attempting to wrest it back once the earlier mistake could no longer be covered up. As such, I expect that we will see similar episodes with others who also meet that description in the future.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 1:24PM

Still, the story of the standoff might make a fair movie, except I remember that in fact it had already been made into a movie. I recalled seeing “Billy Jack” at the old Cinema 141 some time after its release in 1971. Billy was played by Tom Laughlin, and he plays a former special forces soldier who befriends the leader and members of the local hippy commune against the evil square hypocritical bigoted townsfolk. After he kills the rapist troublemaking racist son of the local powerful greedy corrupt wealthy rancher, Billy shoots several law enforcement officers in a standoff, before he surrenders. As he is led away to jail (with the promise of a sequel, no doubt), the enlightened members of the commune throw up their Power fists, and as the credits roll, a song entitled “One Tin Soldier” (recorded by The Original Caste as well as Coven, who has the writing credit) plays.

For my entry today, I borrowed the tune to memorialize my feelings about the charred carcass carried out of the burned cabin, and those who identify with him.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 1:25PM

Listen, children, to a story
That was written just this week,
'Bout an ex-cop and his vengeance
while his name we do not speak

Once he worked for LAPD
he got fired and bore a grudge,
so he killed his lawyer’s daughter
but will ask you not to judge

Go ahead and hate the po-lice,
Kill their family and friends.
Do it in the name of Justice,
Your means will justify your ends
There won't be any sprinklers spraying
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One dead loser rots away.

So some people from the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
We too hate the L A P D,
Here's the list we’d like to kill.

Came his answer there on Facebook,
What does all this killing mean
I support Barack Obama,
I’m a fan of Charlie Sheen

Go ahead and hate the po-lice,
Kill their family and friends.
Do it in the name of Justice,
Your means will justify your ends
There won't be any sprinklers spraying
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One dead loser rots away.

Now the Left cried out is support
He believes in Gun Control
Someone go get Jesse Jackson
Some one else go take a poll

But out in San Bernadino
After losses of their own.
Shot the gas and it ignited
and they burned him to the bone

Go ahead and hate the po-lice,
Kill their family and friends.
Do it in the name of Justice,
Your means will justify your ends
There won't be any sprinklers spraying
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One dead loser rots away.

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 1:30PM

Al, "unbalanced narcissistic sociopath who supported generally leftist causes and had been given power that he never should have been let near". And all the time I thought you were writing about Christopher Dorner.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 1:36PM

"As such, I expect that we will see similar episodes with others who also meet that description in the future."

Let us just say I was describing more than one unnamed suspect.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 1:38PM

...and one in particular doesn't only have Barrett .50 rifles available to him, but Predator drones and the nuclear football...

Goldwater Girl| 2.15.13 @ 3:16PM

been awhile since I thought about Billy Jack; that was a great flick. The lyrics adaptation was excellent! I would argue that the Dirty Harry series was a similar storyline. Eastwood was the rogue cop that was willing to risk his career to expose the corrupt police commissioner or the politicians. While I realize he was just a character in a movie, I see very few politicians with the balls to challenge Obama and his posse, on issues like Bengazi, the push for gun control, and the runaway spending. And the MSM is still running commentary about Rubio taking a drink of water! The hypocrisy is staggering. The opportunity to correct the 2008 mistake was stolen from under our noses. It sickens me to think about the shitstorm headed our way. Thanks to TLP, and his merry band of patriots for a place to air our concerns, and to have some laughs.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 4:49PM

God Bless You, Goldwater Girl.

We've missed you.

What are you wearing? (Hat Tip - Mark Levin)

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 5:08PM

Being a Goldwater Gal, 10-1 odds she's dressed conservatively.

That said, I'll say she looks like Lilith Sternin from Cheers.

TLP| 2.15.13 @ 5:40PM

I'm thinking she's naked, riding a Rocking Horse.

But, that's just me.

Moe Blotz| 2.15.13 @ 6:34PM

More likely to be topless on a boat, than a horse!

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 8:51PM

Ah Ha! Sailboat with a S.U.Y.T. pennant, yes?

AuH2O Girl| 2.15.13 @ 8:58PM

Oh no, a nice center console with plenty of room for my 4 legged friend to roam. No slow-boat for me!

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 6:11PM

Can't it be both?

Topless, riding a Rocking Hores on a Boat?

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 11:52AM

She would need a bigger boat for all of her 3 legged friends!

AuH2O Girl| 2.15.13 @ 7:12PM

My weekend wear is very free and easy, if you know what I mean. It is my work that requires an adherence to business norms.

AuH2O Girl| 2.15.13 @ 7:15PM

Just so you know, I am AKA Goldwater girl, but I am unable to post under the same name on work computer vs home. Therefore, consider me Sybil, my friends, but don't call me Arnie or Annie K

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 7:31PM

So, in a nutshell, Lilith Sternin on the weekdays, Lilith Fair on the weekends?

Eh, I suppose I get partial points.

AuH2O Girl| 2.15.13 @ 7:36PM

Closer to Lilith Fair

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 8:34PM

Well, if you really are Sybil, you'd answer to any and all names :-)

I have to disagree with the Eastwood/Billy Jack comparisons, however. Although Eastwood wanted to expose police corruption, it seemed to me he was mainly concern was ridding the street of the "filth", as opposed to BJ, who was strictly into fighting The Man.

AuH2O Girl| 2.15.13 @ 8:41PM

Good point , I agree

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 9:06PM

As I got older, though, I was amused that in the narrative of the film, the only character from Billy Jack's version of the Establishment who was decent was the Sheriff.

Today, when I recall the dialogue spoken by all of the commune members, it is difficult to distinguish from remarks uttered by the members of Obama's Cabinet and Czars.

In my daily interactions with criminal racists, rapists, etc., I have noticed that they tend not to be the scions of the local wealthy families, but tend to be from the same demographic as the victims.

As I result, I tend to view Dirty Harry in a much more positive light than I do Billy Jack, even in the absence of a berserk rage.

CJW| 2.15.13 @ 7:38PM

Lilith the shrink was hot.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 8:23PM

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 8:34PM

Given the discussion about a recently immolated former cop/ current cop killer, perhaps you thought I was discussing Lew AlCinder?

From my recollection, she had alot of pent-up energy.

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 3:41PM

I hear Panetta has created a medal of our cyber warriors that ranks higher than the bronze star.

How can that be I thought, what hazard did they face? Paper cuts (to be fair they can sting), Carpal tunnel syndrome?, Secratary spread? This can't be true.

Then a little voice whispered in my ear. "Remember, they gave a Nobel peace prize to a guy who was all talk, hadn't accomplished much, but he had a nice crease in his pants and the right skin tone".

It was at that point I vowed to never eat Rice Crispies again. They were starting to make sense.

Drunken Sailor| 2.15.13 @ 3:51PM

Dammit. Should have read "created a medal for our cyber warriors".

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 4:14PM

CJW| 2.15.13 @ 7:37PM

In searching for an analogy I cannot think of a movie where the "leader" abandoned his men to die and then lied to cover it up. I was a at a seminar today and asked a few friends for suggestions and nobody could think of one.

So Benghazi makes sense only if Obama was not lazy and incopetent. Nobody is that lazy and stupid. He purposely did not involve himself.

Why not? He did not want any controversy to cloud his campaign for re-election. He found time have a beer summit for his friend who was arrested but had not time to save four Americans.

For an analogy: The movie, Breaker Morant.

Three Australian soldiers fighting for the Brits in the Boer War are accused of shooting Boer civilians, stand trial, are convicted, and sentenced to death.
The Australian and British governments agree to let them die, do not grant clemency, because the peace negotiations between the Boers and British are almost final and the Brits wanted to appease the Boers to end the war .

The Aussies are sacrificed for the politics.

The four Americans were sacrificed for Obama's re-election and the MSM, especially Crowley, participated in the cover up.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 8:16PM

Actually, if John II were here, he might point out another film, "Attack!".

Jack Palance plays a lieutenant (Costa) given a dangerous mission near the end of WW II along with his unit by Capt. Cooney, known to be a politically connected hack given rank in the activated National Guard unit as a result of his political connections. Cooney's incompetence results in the death of Costa's men.

Does anyone else see any parallels?

John II| 2.15.13 @ 8:45PM

I'm here, Al, and I see 'em. I'm working on a different entry. Be back shortly.

CJW| 2.15.13 @ 9:28PM

I do not see Obama as incompetent because he is smart and clever. He set out to transform our country and he is doing it. I believe he and Mrs Bubba deliberately did not respond to the Benghazi attack because of the political calculations each made. That is much worse than incopetence.
Jack Palance was the perfect villain in Shane.

Bob Grant| 2.15.13 @ 10:18PM

CJW,

I see obama as an incompetent, aloof, disinterested, ideologue.

He's not smart, nor is he clever.

As in any socialist/dictatorial state, the press covers up a lot of flaws for him, so he never has to pay a political price for his screw ups, for example, Benghazi.

Keep your electorate at a certain level of ignorance and you have free reign to anything you please.

This is what's happening here. This is where we are at in this country. Don't believe me, look at the idiotic, illogical poll numbers.

CJW| 2.15.13 @ 10:42PM

Bob

We all expect O, as any president, to act in the best interest of the country. Since he does not act in the best interest of the country then he must be an incopetent, aloof, disinterested ideologue or a smart, clever idealogue committed to transform our country. Either way it is not good.

You are correct about the ignorance of many voters, how else could O win twice, and Bubba win twice, especially the second term of each.

Moe Blotz| 2.16.13 @ 8:59AM

Here is an "m" for you, CJW. You may need it the next time you want to spell incompetent. If you want more just let me know.

Bob Grant| 2.16.13 @ 9:08AM

CJW,

To say obama is smart and clever is to take away the complicit media's role in all of this.

Obama is "smart" to the extent the media covers for him. Take, for example, the Benghazi episode. It was the MEDIA that made the political calculation not to cover the story.

Remember the day after the incident, September 12? What was the narrative? Was it obama's handling of the crisis or was it Presidential Candidate Romney's remarks on the YouTube video? ....it was, of course, Romney! Who determined to focus on Ronmey's remarks AND NOT on the facts about the indident? It wasn't the obama administration, it was the honchos at The Alphabet Networks...a POLITICAL decision!

With this this kind of backing from the Fourth Estate, Alfred E. Newman would SEEM smart!

I take issue with you on obama's supposed intelligence. His intelligence is on par with the Soviet premiers, Kim Sung IL (or song, or Un, or whatever...), Chavez, Castro, and other dictatorial states with a complicit media.

CJW| 2.16.13 @ 12:52PM

Bob
Take it easy. I do not think O has a high IQ or wisdom or the wit and intelliegence to participate in our analogy contests.

He was clearly a quota at Harvard and elsewhere. How can you be president on Harvard Law Review and not have anything published. Everyone I knew on Law Review submitted an article.

I believe he is smart and clever in the sense that he knows what he wants to do, transform the country, and does it with Obamacare, executive orders on immigration and others, stopped drilling on federal lands, stir up class and racial divisions, etc. There is no question the MSM is his public relations firm.

But we should not underestimate him because he is doing exactly what he promied: transforming the USA.

CJW| 2.16.13 @ 12:54PM

Moe Blotz| 2.16.13 @ 5:26PM

If Tim could do as well, he wouldn't be the judge.

As it is, Tim just hands down rulings based on his interpretation of the rules. Those that live by the sword, die by the sword. Those that interpret the rules, get rich. (Is that an analogy? If so, could I count it as my 2nd entry?)

I had to take Chemistry 101 to graduate from my university. Flunked it 4 times, same teacher.

Passed the 5th attempt with the same teacher who took pity on my extraordinary weakness by giving me a D- and a note that he hoped I would never dabble in science as he was sure the world would be blown up.

Matter of fact, my parents gave me a chemistry set when I was 8 or so. Yep, blew up the bathroom. It was the only bathroom in the house. It was a beauty of an explosion. Not only demolished the sink, commode and tub, but also blew a hole in the wall where once upon a time had been a window.

I was ecstatic. My parents, not so much.

John II| 2.15.13 @ 9:17PM

Okay, here's my entry. When I was thinking about the Prince of Darkness's State of His Mind speech this week, I got a sudden vision of his final State of His Mind speech, to be delivered early in 2016. Scary.

With apologies to Robert Service . . .

There are strange things said and worse things read
Of the drones who moil for Obama;
The Arctic parts of their icy hearts
Would make you cry for Momma.
The DC bights have seen weird sights,
But the weirdest they ever did see
Was that night in the Congress of USA
As we watched the Obama bray.

Now Barack Hussein was from this and that place where rumor blooms and blows.
Why he left his home in Asia to roam 'round the world, God only knows.
He was always bland, but the American land seemed to hold him like a spell,
Though he'd often say in his snotty way, "I'd sooner live in hell."

On a wintry day we were sloshing our way through the DC nightly chill.
Talk of your cold! The POTUS's fold of toadies and political shills!
If our eyes we'd close, then the lashes froze while he burbled many old lies.
It wasn't much fun, but nothing he'd done came to us as any surprise.

And that very night, as we all packed tight in our places beneath the dark sky,
And the trolls were fed, and the stars o'erhead were languishing by and by,
Suddenly Barack stared over our heads and cried out, "I'm BORED with all
This crap, I say--it's really starting to pall!"

John II| 2.15.13 @ 9:18PM

Well, he seemed so low that we couldn't say no; then he muttered with a sort of moan:
"It's the friggin' cold, and it's got right hold till I'm chilled clean through to the bone.
And I'm not just bored--it's my awful hoard of screwy hates that chill;
So I want you to swear that, foul or fair, you'll find me some kind of pill."

There are strange things said and worse things read
Of the drones who moil for Obama;
The Arctic parts of their icy hearts
Would make you cry for Momma.
The DC bights have seen weird sights,
But the weirdest they ever did see
Was that night in the Congress of the USA
As we watched the Obama bray.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.15.13 @ 9:43PM

From the land there with Claus they respond with applause
as they see how we now head to hell
gone is Bad Dan McGrew and a Lady named Lou
they’re replaced with a beast named Michelle
and a grifter has come recognizing how dumb
that some voters have brains made of rock
and if that’s not enough promise all more free stuff
if they only will vote for Barack

John II| 2.15.13 @ 11:17PM

SNAP! Excellent postscript.

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 8:58AM

Gratifying to know there are so many Robert W. Service fans at TAS. Speaks well of us. Maybe we could have an annual TAS get-together in Dawson City in his honor. Would have to be late July or early August though. That falls within the 8 week window when it isn't snowing. On second thought, nah. Let's do Miami. In January or February.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 9:09AM

In order to be able to proclaim "This is mighty like the South", you need to spend some time there, so I do think a warmer clime is in order, like the R Martin farm.

Still, BL in AK might be asked to host some future Service service.

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 9:31AM

He can send the Ice for the Party.

BL in AK| 2.16.13 @ 4:20PM

Have been meaning to visit Dawson City. Could be another reason to go now. I can bring some AK brews as well.

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 10:21AM

Isn't the R Martin farmi PA or DE? From our perspective here in GA, that AIN'T the South.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 10:35AM

DE near the PA line, so technically it is east of the Mason-Dixon line (though from the Yukon, or Alaska, even Occam is in the south).

Pecos Pete| 2.16.13 @ 7:05AM

Snap! x 4

It is with delight that I imagine the last days of King O. It is with fear and sadness that I imagine the graft and corruption as the King, Queen and their merry band work harder, faster, with blistered hands to steal as much as they can before their reign ends.

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 7:53AM

Just think of it, Pete. All they're really doing is laying the groundwork for Hillary and Slick Willie. It could to be a very long 12 years if the country is foolish enough to put her in the White House. Thinking about that as a possibility is a lousy-ass way to start a weekend, isn't it?

John II| 2.16.13 @ 10:47AM

I've been thinking about it for close to four years now, Jack. In 2008, there was some theoretical chance that McCain would have squirmed by the Termagant, given a Demo Party fractured by a division between the Clintonistas and the Obamamaniacs.

But the Prince of Darkness has already succeeded (yes--his ONE success) in softening up the Body Politic into an advanced stage of putrefaction. He now has more than 90 percent of the Black vote and--not so miraculously, considering the dead voters and illegal aliens among his supporters--more than 100 percent of the Degenerate vote permanently in the pockets of the Evil Party.

That's more than 50 percent of the whole Body Politic, if you count disgruntled stay-at-home Republicans as among the Degenerate.

The only glimmer of hope I can see for 2016 is that the Evil Party will do what it admittedly tends to do anyhow: collapse into its smug overconfidence.

Meanwhile, the Termagant will already be 69 in 2016, and whenever the old hag bares her fangs these days, she is already showing signs of getting long in the tooth. We shall see what we shall see.

It's her fangs that bother me. Methinks she is a venomous old bitch. Notice how she looks more and more like Bela Lugosi?

AuH2O Girl| 2.16.13 @ 12:15PM

She's thinking to herself as she struggles into her sweat pants, "what difference does it make"

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 1:16PM

Hillary in sweat pants. Thanks a lot, Goldwater. I mean, did we really need THAT visual?

AuH2O Girl| 2.16.13 @ 9:06PM

It will go well with a side of cottage cheese!

John II| 2.16.13 @ 1:14PM

Yes. And not just Bela Lugosi--but the Bela Lugosi who starred in "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (1956), the worst movie ever made.

John II| 2.16.13 @ 1:22PM

And to think that she was a Goldwater Girl just eight years after "Plan Nine From Outer Space." Then she went to Wellesley and proved that she's no brighter than the Prince of Darkness. Does anyone besides me recall how short-lived her moronic career as a feature columnist was?

Yea, future historians will recall the Boomers as a troubled generation, racked by strange difficulties in discerning their asses from holes in the ground.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 1:48PM

(If I might race Tim to this remark) In past generations, holes in the ground were frequently homes for small rodents, such as gerbils. In the Baby Boom generation, way too many of its members of an alternative lifestyle literally confused the two (and someone needs to tell Joe Biden that literally more or less means actually).

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 6:17PM

You spelled "Planet" wrong.

John II| 2.17.13 @ 12:02AM

Were you addressing me, Timmy? I didn't spell "Planet" at all. I spelled "Plan." I spelled it right, too. That's the title of the movie.

I saw "Plan 9 From Outer Space" at the Laurel theater in downtown Wichita in 1956. I was only 12 years old, but I knew it was bad even then. Of course, I liked Ike, and didn't much like the weenies who were supporting Stevenson--good breeding, you know, and of course that was the year of the superior version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (two words--both spelled correctly), against which "Plan 9 From Outer Space" would have seemed inferior to a four-year-old.

Sort of like comparing Barack Obama with Ben Carson.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 8:37AM

You spelled "Plant" wrong.

John II| 2.17.13 @ 10:02AM

I . . . I . . . I . . . I'm speechless. Toto is too.

Bob Grant| 2.16.13 @ 7:53PM

Come on, with the right glasses and from the proper angle, Hillary could be a very handsome woman.

Bob Grant| 2.16.13 @ 5:58PM

John, I hate to bust your bubble but smug overconfidence could describe 70% of the voting electorate. They relate to it. They love it. And they will vote for it in 2016, or whenever the h*ll the Evil One decides to step down.

And besides, the Termagant has been pre-annointed. It's in the cards. It's meant to be.

Hillary.must.be.the.first.female.president.come.hell.or.high.water....Period!!!

And when she's finished, (insert name).must.be.the.first.Latino(democrat).president.come.h**l.or.high.water....Period!!!

And when he/she's finished, (insert name).must.be.the.first.LBGT.president.come.h**l.or.high.water...Period!!!

November 6th, 2012 marked a turning point in this country. This ain't Kansas anymore.

John II| 2.16.13 @ 8:35PM

Oh. Okay, I meant to say "smug overreaching."

And Kansas isn't Kansas anymore. Sebelius is gone. And Newman University is doing well in Wichita. I'm a man born and bred in the heart of the American wilderness, and I'm here to tell you that the "unum" may be sick but the "pluribus" are doing pretty well. I mean, hay-el, more 'n' half the damn state houses are full of conservatives. Biden their time, so to speak.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 9:14AM

Biden their time for what?

John II| 2.17.13 @ 10:21AM

For the smug overreaching to take sufficient effect so that even the Main-slime Media can't ignore it entirely.

And then for the Left to go through several more of its intermittent spectacles of self-hatred and self-revelation. Imagine, for example, if a microphone were left on (I mean, there's already precedent for that one) when the Prince of Darkness suddenly blurted his REAL feelings about people like Ben Carson. I distinctly recall his sullen remarks about wanting to get his hands around the throat of Alan Keyes when the latter made him look very stupid in a Senate campaign debate. Reminded me of Al Gore's loose admission that he'd prefer to deal with political opponents (including all the climate scientists contradicting his Global Warming fraud) by "tearing their throats out."

And then for the Republicans to get their asses in gear . . . and . . . and . . . and . . .

Oh. I guess you've got a point, Bobby. We're screwed.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 10:38AM

I seem to recall a moment five or so years ago when Jesse Jackson expressed a desire to geld the current POTUS, who was of course then merely a candidate for the office (as well as Senator).

Had Jesse had his way, we might be screwed, but Obama wouldn't be the one doing the screwing (to any discernible end, anyway).

KennesawJack| 2.15.13 @ 9:26PM

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 12:13AM

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 9:17AM

The only Sams I know are: Samuel Adams, Yosemite Sam, Sam I Am, Sam's Club, Uncle Sam, Sam the Sham, and the one on Bewitched.

I hope you didn't bet it all.

Bob Grant| 2.16.13 @ 9:32AM

What about the two Dicks on Bewitched?

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 10:15AM

...and what was the deal with all the names starting with E (Endora, Esmeralda, etc.)?...

Bob Grant| 2.16.13 @ 12:07PM

Al, I never understood that show. It freaked me out as a kid. Every.annoying.TV character.possible was on that show; from the busybody neighbor, the weird assortment of witches coming to and fro the house, and, of course, the aforementioned two Dicks.

I Dream of Jeanie did it for me.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 9:03PM

I used to think Bewitched was just a clever satire, but as I watched more and more nonsensical commercials, I figured it was actually a documentary (how can anyone explain the Geico "Caveman" ad campaign, unless you release that somehow Tabitha conjured up prehistoric man as McMahon & Tate was pitching a car insurance company, and the rest is advertising history).

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 10:22AM

Uh Oh!

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 10:26AM

Above in reply, and anticipation of Tim's response, to Bob Grant.

Bob Grant| 2.16.13 @ 11:49AM

He's flabbergasted again. He can't decide between his favorite Dick on Bewitched.

That puts him betwixt a rock and a hard place...so to speak.

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 12:07PM

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 8:16AM

WOW - so many great entries; what a family we've become!

When obama & his regime meet this is what they sing to start their meetings:

(GOD bless America nka We will Destroy America)

We will Destroy America
Once a Country that was Free
We'll divide her and retire her
make her fall and crawl on her knees

We'll be a new AmeriKa
within a Global Community
no resistence,
total submission
cause we tanked their weaponaries

From the mountains to the oceans
we have a people who fell asleep
We will Destroy America
once the home of the Brave & the Free

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 8:43AM

Aah, but those of us on the Right Will be signing:

"We'll be coming around the Mountain nka
We'll be fighting for our Country"

We'll be fighting for our Country
once again;
We'll be fighting for our Country
once again;

We'll take down the leftist commies
we'll battle their third world armies
We'll be fighting for our Country once again

We are on the march to restore the USA
We are on the march to restore the USA

We'll restore the Constititution
we'll bring order and resolutions
that'll will strengthen the good and blessed USA

When we win the battle for the USA
when we win the battle for the USA
we'll not forget those soldiers
who faught bravely
we'll not forget those who died heroically
we will not forget their love and loyalty of the USA

and we end it with all signing GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 9:03AM

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the language of the deaf and could not sign the tunes suggested. Since I could not carry a tune in a bucket, singing is out as well.

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 9:01AM

I'm being called names, again. This time by Dickhead. I mean: DRed. (Same thing) he called me a Racist, and a Traitor to my Race, at the same time. (I'm assuming that he's referring to my Marrying my Asian Wife. Who emailed me a picture of her Ass for Valentines Day) And, no, it was not a picture of Me.

As far as my being Racist, or me being Black? Let me just say this: I'm not Black. I barely Tan.

But I do have a Black $29 Cell Phone, a Black Cover for my IPad, and a Black Cloth over the table that is the H.Q. for this whole operation.

I have a Black NextDoor Neighbor who won't pull his Pants Up. I'm a hip kinda guy. I get the whole Fuzzizzle.......Fizuzzle.......Fazoozle Deal. I know it's a Black Thing - wantin to wear your pants below your ass. It's Prison Chic. (More like Prison "Practice" if you ask me)

We have a Black Car, that we sometimes drive to the Casino to play Blackjack.

I'm not a Fan of Black Culture, Black Chicks, Angry Black Women, or their Diaries.

I don't like Black Licorice, Black Friday, The Black Eyed Peas, or the Black Chuckle.

And, I hate the Black Caucus, this Black President, his Black A.G. and most of all - The First Black (fill in the blank)

I hope that clears things up a bit.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 9:17AM

Don't worry, Tim, I got my race traitor button more than 20 years ago.

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 9:30AM

Some of these people should drop bye on one of the big Holidays. It looks The General Assembly at the U.N.

Ya got My Redneck Family. Ya got my wife's Ying Yangers. Ya got her Sister's Hatian Husband, and their two kids. Her other Sister's Brazillian Husband, and their baby. My Halfbreeds, and all of the Chinc Kids. I'm Uncle Tim to all of'em, and I love all of'em like I love my own.

But I'm Racist because I don't like the Marxist Mulatto, and his Bitch Wife.

I can Live with that.

Joellen| 2.16.13 @ 10:41AM

Tim, when we all get together it is going to be honor to be among your AMERICAN family.

Yea, where is our gal Tina B?

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 9:36AM

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 10:17AM

Kwan| 2.16.13 @ 10:57AM

Movie: Under Siege
The USS Missouri is making its final voyage. The crew is preparing to celebrate the birthday of Captain Adams during the voyage and Commander Krill is having food and entertainment flown in by helicopter. It turns out that the caterers and band are actually mercenary/hijackers led by ex-CIA operative Bill Strannix. In collusion with Commander Krill they want to take over the ship and offload the ship's Tomahawk tactical nuclear missiles onto a stolen North Korean submarine and sell them to terrorists. The hijackers seize control of the ship and kill several officers including the Captain and imprison the crew. Only one obstacle stands in the way. On board working as a cook is former Navy Seal Casey Ryback/Steven Seagal. Ryback a one-man army/wrecking crew takes on and methodically annihilates the hijackers and retakes the ship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9wf-QTEO6Y
Analogy: If two words could best describe the situation in the United States since January 20th, 2009 it's Under Siege. Marxist Revolutionary/Hijackers under the command of Barackamus da Mugnufacent have seized control of the ship of state and have altered its course. The leftward course that Barackamus has the ship of state on is a well known course that has shipwrecked many other ships of state. The part of Casey Ryback can be played by anyone that resists the traitor/hijacker Barackamus and his band of leftist pirates.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 11:13AM

Excellent analogy (though I feel compelled to ask who will be the centerfold model brought on board to jump out of the cake, who later aids Ryback in taking back the ship and foiling the plot).

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 11:23AM

Hank Johnson may have the last laugh. Rumor has it Russia is circling Guam with nuclear bombers as we speak. Perhaps they are in cahoots with Mr. Johnson to level and capsize one side of the island.
Although your idea would be more efficient than nuking the place.

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 6:27PM

That's why they're circling.

I'm told that Hank Johnson has warned them that the Airport is on the side of the island where all those people are. And it's not safe.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 8:46AM

We haven't heard from Cynthia McKinney lately. Perhaps she's there, coordinating with Johnson and Russia on how to proceed. What could possibly go wrong?

The big money's on the Isle "tipping ova".

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 9:30AM

I heard that she's up in a Tree, on the other side of the island.

Just in case.

R Martin| 2.16.13 @ 12:17PM

As I am rather glum these days, having made some colossally stupid investment decisions on the morning of November 7th, I’m having trouble coming up with something amusing. Accordingly, reflecting my mood, my entry is the film Amadeus from 1984.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a brilliant but immature composer who gains favor with the 18th century Austrian Emperor, Joseph II. As such he is despised by rival composer Antonio Salieri. Mozart falls on hard times, becomes destitute and is tricked by Salieri into a commission which Mozart hopes will restore his financial health. During his work on the commission Mozart finds bottles of wine left mysteriously on his doorstep. He is happy to drink this welcome gift. However, the wine has been left by Salieri, and it has been poisoned. Mozart dies a slow and agonizing death.

Mozart represents the American economy, huge potential but lacking guidance. Salieri is Obama. The wine symbolizes Obama’s economic strategy, characterized by tax hikes, and proposals for new taxes on consumption and carbon. The wine also symbolizes the danger of dependency on free stuff from a supposed benefactor; it is evil, it is death.

One hopes the analogy breaks down at the end, but I wouldn’t bet Pecos’s and TLP’s duet on it.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 12:36PM

On the other hand, while Salieri might have gained temporary advantage over Mozart, in the century or two since, most recognize the opening strains of Eine kleine Nachtmusik, whereas to the extent that Salieri is remembered, it is most prominently through his relationship with Mozart.

One hopes in the annals of history, when Obama is spoken of, to the extent that he is remembered at all, he will be thought of like James Buchanan, recalled as a man of dubious sexuality who helped divide a nation against itself, and was largely a failure at everything else in his Presidency. Hopefully, though, the bloodbath which followed Buchanan’s term will not be necessary to preserve America as a great nation founded on high ideals enshrined in a peerless Constitution.

Meanwhile, I think we all have much suffering ahead if anything resembling our Republic is to be preserved.

Moe Blotz| 2.16.13 @ 5:44PM

The opening strains of K525 from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

AuH2O Girl| 2.16.13 @ 12:51PM

Rickey,
If it's not too early, I'd like to buy you a virtual drink! Lets invest in malt liquor, I think that could be the next stimulus proposal. Why should only those making over 250,000 be able to afford booze?

Pecos Pete| 2.16.13 @ 1:13PM

I'll drink to that! The more virtual drink we imbibe, the more virtual tax revenue to be overspent. There is a multiplier effect with the federal government: For each $1 of virtual revenue, the feds spend $1.45 of real money.

The sooner the feds go broke, the sooner this utter disaster of a socialist government can be buried.

KennesawJack| 2.16.13 @ 1:21PM

I think I can safely say I speak for both D. S. and Col. Mike, when I say "We'll drink to that!".

TLP| 2.16.13 @ 6:37PM

One could always hope that Hollywood decides to film Point Break II (The Sequel), but anyone robbing a bank in anything but an Obama mask will have no credibility.

The Obama Mask would only work in a Flick about Robbing Fort Knox.

Ricky: Good analogy.

I like Mozart's music to keep the stress level down in my milk cow. Generally I'll bring Michelle (really!) to the milking stall about 30 minutes before starting. Mozart played ever so softly while Michelle is ruminating improves milk production by about 22.4%

R Martin| 2.16.13 @ 8:45PM

Very cool. What put you on to the theory? I used to take my dog to a kennel that played classical music, but never noticed any effect when he returned home. Suspect it was mostly for the kennel's benefit.

Pecos Pete| 2.16.13 @ 9:26PM

Trial and error. Tried Hank Williams and other country music, didn't work. Tried Frank Sinatra, and similar, kinda worked. Tried classical, some worked some were detrimental ... like Bach. Mozart always works.

Speaking of CAHOOTS...obamao is in Palm City, Florida today to play golf, he may play as the cover, but he's here to meet with some very powerful Cuban/American gentleman to smooth over the boob menendez /dr.melgen situation. It was more than hookers they were doing business with they were also involved in a multi-billion $$$ government swindle which might go right to the top. boobie menendez is also a senate committee chairmain (I believe "Ways and Means") obamao is the numero uno fixer . Is that a drone I see over the buildings? P.S the weather in Palm City is terrible rain and wind and cool for the entire weekend.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.16.13 @ 2:42PM

"P.S the weather in Palm City is terrible rain and wind and cool for the entire weekend."

Sometimes God smites a place with fire and brimstone from the sky (the Russians need to read up on Sodom and Gomorrah after their meteor shower this week), other times He gives advance notice of His coming wrath by spraying His bladder on a place.

BL in AK| 2.16.13 @ 4:38PM

Since it is Open-Line Friday in Rush speak with TLP's added sweetness (like Pesco, that is all your gettin' out of me) a first entry now before I head out to shovel snow deals with the UK's discovery of horse meat being substituted in many "courses". Which leads me to the theme song for The Mister Ed show.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady "course".
Talk to Mr. Ed

People yakkity-yak the street and waste your time of day,
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say

A horse is a horse, of "course", of "course",
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?

Well listen to this: "I'm Mister Ed"

Will be back later. Lots of good entries already. Gonna require some "studying" to be competitive.

Don't be afraid to go back and Reread all of the Posts. Some of us have been dragged all over the Malls, today, with their wives, and have been doing a lot of Funny Catchup. (I spelled Catsup wrong)

We need more Analogies.

But, seeing as it's Open Line Friday?

The whole Chat Room thing, is all right, too.

As long as you're having fun.

And, don't forget Rules 1 and 3.

I can't stress that, enough.

I don't know if it "Works"?

I just know that: It doesn't Hurt.

Jacob McCandles| 2.16.13 @ 6:58PM

My first analogy: once I saw a movie with a grotesque, hideous, putrid beast in it. Arthel Nevel from Fox News is that thing.

Well done.

Jacob McCandles| 2.16.13 @ 10:00PM

Guys, she did a piece on the gun control issue, just today, and with her hideous features glaring, took a big steaming dump on the second amendment. I'm telling you, it was worse than MSNBC. Fox should fire her sorry ass immediately and hire another hot blond who is conservative.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 8:19AM

Arthel Neville?

I thought Fox dumped her years ago?

AuH2O Girl| 2.17.13 @ 1:58PM

They just moved her to Saturday afternoon, which has the same effect!

BL in AK| 2.16.13 @ 8:36PM

With regards to an Adminstration leaving SpecOps guys out to dry like they did at Benghazi, the movie adaptation of Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" comes to mind. The crooked SecDef gave over the Extraction Point location map to the Intelligence Head (Felix Cortez) of Escobar's crew after he figured out American troops were in country. And then the SpecOps guys who were blowing up the cocaine labs in the jungles of Columbia got hung out to dry as the Comm got shut down. At least Jack Ryan took responsibility for it, and we all no movies ain't reality. Obamao and Billary must have seen that movie too and figured why bother playing Jack Ryan.

Be back after dinner at Thai Town.

No Anchortown

Still got one more in me after dinner

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 12:50AM

Actually Spenard of Anchortown. Albert may remember the tales of Spenard when he visited back in the '80s

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 9:54AM

I wouldn't count on that one.

Isn't Albert in the 80's?

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 10:18AM

I didn't get a chance to see much beyond the polar bear when I was there in 84, 85 and 87.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 2:28PM

During the heydey of the "Pipeline Days" from '76 to early '80s Anchorage, I'm told, was a ruly wild west kinda town (Like Williston, ND nowadays) and Spenard was the red light district. Since its transformation in the late '80s it is a neighborhood with its own uniqueness with Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Mexican restaurants and still has some parts that cling to its Pipeline Days "roots"

BL in AK| 2.16.13 @ 9:06PM

Tim warned me not to stink up the thread this week so with that here's another Benghazi theme from Lynard Skynard's "That Smell"

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Benghazi you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
To know what's goin' on around me

Ooh that smell, can't you smell that smell?
Ooh that smell, the smell of death surrounds you,

Angel of darkness is within you
Stuck a needle in your arm
(You, fool, you)
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
(Hell, yeah)

Ooh that smell, can't you smell that smell?
Ooh that smell, the smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you 'Prince Charming'
Can't speak a word without the teleprompter
MSM say you'll be all right come tomorrow
We are praying you will not kill more warriors, but we know you
(Hey, you)

Ooh that smell, can't you smell that smell?
Ooh that smell, the smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
We know you been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a Benghazi monkey on your back
Just one more f’up, Lord, might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
(Hell, yeah)

Ooh that smell, can't you smell that smell?
Ooh that smell, the smell of death surrounds you
Ooh that smell, can't you smell that smell?
Ooh that smell, the smell of death surrounds you

Oh, you, fool, you
You stick those needles in your arm
You're just a fool, just a fool, just a fool

Yes.

Job| 2.16.13 @ 9:20PM

Harry Potter is TLP, he was switched at birth with someone and the P in TLP really stands for Potter. Ron Weasley is Pecos Pete. Hermione is Tina B. Severius Snape is Dr. Right, Neville Longbottom is Who Knows.

i figure Matt Purple and Ross Kamiskey are the older Weasley bros. and Ben Stein and Wifey are the Weasley parents... Lessee, Dan Flynn is Hagrid, Jeff Lord is Albus Dumbledorf I think that Purp is Draco Malfoy, V twin and , Arnie are the rest of the Slitherin clan and of course
v-O-ldemort is the Obama. Bubba Clinton is Lucios Malfoy.

We all know how this ends...

Why can't Albert be Cho Chang? Or, at the very least, her Husband.

Pardon me AC you were in the running for Ron Weasley. i slept since i watched these movies and had to do about 5 minutes research to get as far as i did. i had 3 windows open on my reputer and crashed it once, nonetheless, i think i definitely sucked up to TLP on this one and therefore as per rule #1, deserve at least an honorable mention. what is the prize this week anyway?

Job| 2.17.13 @ 6:35PM

ok just back from below and saw the honorable mention (i'm a slow reader)Good weekend all. TLP for Prez...:)

CJW| 2.16.13 @ 11:06PM

Following up on Albert's comment yesterday about the Alamo. The defenders at the Alama died fighting as did the four Americans abandoned by Obama and his stooges lady bubba, panetta, and dempsey. The most powerful military in history, with a base one hour away, did nothing.

Travis at the Alamo sent the following, which is probably the thoughts of the four Americans as they were fighting while Obama, panetta, lady bubba, and dempsey were calculating how to cover their ass.

"Am beseiged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna -- I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man -- The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken -- I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls -- I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism, & every thing dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch -- The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country --

VICTORY OR DEATH "

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 12:44AM

Back from dinner with my last entry. This one is a bit of a futuristic analogy with a twist from the Los Angeles manhunt.

As Albert stated in his earlier entry regarding the Christopher Dorner manhunt in Los Angeles “unbalanced narcissistic sociopath who supported generally leftist causes and had been given power …..was resisting a flawed society attempting to wrest it back…”.

It sounded all to similar of an ending like the one that started on February 4, 1974 in an apartment in Bezerkeley where the granddaughter of a newspaper magnate was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) and their leader was a hardened criminal named Donald DeFreeze, aka Cinque. Only one person (a Cpm moniker) on the Flynn thread on Friday thought the same thing.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 12:46AM

The SLA also had Oakland police blood on their hands and the FBI took the lead in the investigation. Then on Tax Day 1974, the kidnapped newspaper heiress played a role in a bank robbery in SF.

Then a month later in LA two SLA members tried to steal ammunition from a local store that lead the FBI and LA police to the SLA safe house. The next day a massive shootout ensued and the building then went up in flames. Six members of the SLA died in the blaze, including DeFreeze.

A year after being kidnapped Hearst was captured in SF and charged with bank robbery and other crimes. She was found guilty and sentenced to 7 years. She served 2 years then Pres Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence and she was later pardoned.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 12:47AM

In September 1988, a B movie was produced from Patty Hearst’s autobiography that described her ordeal and brainwashing by the SLA. Patty Hearst – Her Own Story. It grossed $601K the first week, and totaled $1.2M overall. Ving Rhames played Cinque. Not being one to speculate but, anybody want to guess who will play Chris Dorner when Hollyweird gets around to martyring him. My bet is on Ving.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 8:45AM

I remember very well the Patty Hearst story from 1974. One of the notable moments of the tale was when she was being booked, and gave her occupation as "urban guerilla" ( I suppose because she did not have the imagination to say community organizer).

I watched a good bit of the movie "Patty Hearst" last month. That was one of Ving's early efforts. Though he would have been a natural to play the now extra crispy former member of LAPD in the Marcellus Wallace days, Mr. Rhames is now in his mid-50s, and might be a little long in the tooth to play the more youthful sociopath.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 8:57AM

Al, are you prepared to scour the Earth to find a suitable actor to play the role? Perhaps going to Indochina, looking in every bowl of rice?

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 10:12AM

I might say something like after "Pulp Fiction", Ving found all others roles a pain in the ass, but that would be too easy (and crude, as well).

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 10:35AM

Crude, perhaps medieval.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 10:46AM

At a somewhat more attenuated (though certainly not sophisticated) level, as a result of that film, both Ving and Hillary Clinton can claim to have had a significant other whose name is pronounced OOOO Maa.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 11:17AM

And stay away from the foot massages!

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 11:41AM

...unless you have immunity from the law of gravity (unlike T-t-t-tony Rocky Horror)...

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 1:33PM

"At a somewhat more attenuated (though certainly not sophisticated) level"

I suppose you could say we put the "pulp" in Pulp Fiction.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 1:56PM

...and we are beating it to one (what was that on Friday about beating dead horses?)...

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 2:03PM

:-)

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 2:34PM

Albert-Yes, you are probably right since it took 14 years after the fact for the movie to be made. Maybe Rob Brown of "Finding Forrester" fame.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 2:40PM

I have an old "Berkeley Barb" edition from back then with Patty on the cover and the SLA snake symbol in the background. Wonder how much the Hard Core Pawn dealer would give me for it.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 4:35PM

Even Patty herself might covet it these days.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 5:22PM

She probably has the original negative worth alot more. It was the pose of her holding the assault rifle and the tilted beret on her head.

R Martin| 2.17.13 @ 9:22AM

Do you know in which state Obama did not win a single county in the last election? Do you know which state recently passed a law confirming people have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles? Do you know which state takes DNA samples from illegal aliens before shipping them out? Do you know which state just passed a law requiring all drivers’ license exams and road signs must be in English only? And do you know which state amended its constitution to place the Ten Commandments on the entrance to the state capital?

That’s right—OKLAHOMA. Sing along:

BraaaackObama where the words flow off the teleprompt
And his vast conceit is sure not sweet
When liberty is getting stomped
BraaaackObama ev’ry night his blimpy lamb and he
Sit alone and squawk and then they talk
Of ways to make us all less freeeee.

We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand
And when we say
A-YIP-I-OO-E-AY
We’re only sayin we’re doing fine BrackObama
BrackObama, go away.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 9:38AM

Oklahoma, the new Texas!

John II| 2.17.13 @ 10:42AM

Yes! And when I sputtered out way up on the thread in my effort to explain "Biden their time," I forgot to mention that the Prince of Darkness doesn't have enough TIME left in his sorry tenure to get the 10th Amendment repealed.

Still, I think we may be screwed anyway. Another generation of RINOism will do the Left's work for them.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 11:14AM

You mentioned the 10th Amendment. Now, I'm on the same page.

The 10th Amendment determines if we sink or swim.

R Martin| 2.17.13 @ 11:37AM

I'm not sure how effective the 10th is as a roadblock. Interpretation of the Commerce Clause seems to have created an avenue around it.

John II| 2.17.13 @ 3:49PM

More like a super highway. Even Our Ron tried to turn the then-new Department of Education into a bully pulpit instead of eliminating it altogether.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 10:09AM

Let us hope that respect for the Constitution is restored in our land Sooner, rather than later.

R Martin| 2.17.13 @ 10:42AM

Good one.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 10:56AM

I don't think the judges will allow a pun to qualify as an analogy, but sometimes you've got to take the shot anyway.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 11:11AM

Apparently, by following rules 1. and 3., rule 2. may be broken.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 5:01PM

Puns are acceptable.

Tina B| 2.17.13 @ 5:50PM

I sang every word of that, Ricky, and loudly! I am alone in the house, of course. Lots of good song analogies from my past, and a long past warrants a long list of rewritten songs. Keep those lyrics flowing, my little song-meisters, someday soon we can tip a few and warble and croon together at Ricky's place. I am so ready.

Hardcard| 2.17.13 @ 12:55PM

Apparently you think you're a judge, the only place you were a judge was at the Rio Diner, in the ugly waiter / waitress contest, I've seen judges and you're no judge. I want this contest to be as transparent as the obamao jdingo regime, at this point what does it matter ?Where's Timmy? Who is this boob grant guy? I know bob grant and this ain't him.

Bob Grant| 2.17.13 @ 1:31PM

Me a judge? Hardly! Have you seen my body of "work".

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 2:42PM

Where is Tina B?

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 4:25PM

She did stop in before church this morning, so I expect she might be back later.

BL in AK| 2.17.13 @ 5:20PM

Thanks Albert. Forgot to Look Up

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 5:22PM

Well...............it's 5:02.

Time to put this bad boy to bed.

Time to pass out the Prizes.

To Albert: I'm sending him a Coupon for a Free Dinner for 1 at The Bangkok House, in Wimington Deleware. I gotta believe that, seeing as how he's Married to a Thai babe, like me, he's sick of eating that stuff, and never goes to Thai Restaurants without a fresh roll of Toilet Paper.

Bl in Ak has won my old Swimming Trunks, and all of the old Suntan Lotion that I forgot to throw out.

I'm sending KJack a Transcript of this Contest, as he was so happy to be FIRST, for a change. I just hope that he doesn't notice that Moe and Albert cut him off at the Knees, by sneaking in above him a coupla hours later.

Moe gets a Moe Howard Wig for his Chrome Dome, and a Mansierre for his Man Boobs.

Joellen gets my old VHS of Montey Python's "Life of Brian.

L'il Jen gets a Self Addressed Stamped Evelope for putting any pictures of herself, Naked, on a Boat, inside, and mailing them to me.

Pesco gets a picture of me, on the toilet, to show him that I'm Pretty, no matter where I'm sitting.

Bob Grant and Drunken Sailor will recieve a Framed Copy of THE RULES, in the hope that, from now on, they'll abide by them.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 5:49PM

Warrior gets a Tune of Lipstick, and a picture of My Ass.

Little Ricky Martin will recieve a Free Ticket, good for two weeks at a "Straight Camp" somewhere near his Farm.

Mr. Kwan will recieve a Collection of every Dick Tracey Cartoon featuring Ju Jitsu.

Goldwater Girl will be getting a Daisy and a Hazmat Suit.

Hardcard gets a copy of Adam Sandler's "Anger Management".

And, even though he wasn't here...............Doctor Right will get all of my Underwear that I can't get the Stains out of.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 6:09PM

Warrior gets a TUBE of Lipstick, and a Picture of my Ass.

DAMNIT!

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 5:59PM

Everybody was great.

All of the Entries were Excellent.

And, this sure beat the Hell outta Last Weekend.

It was nice that we got a couple people back that we haven't seen in a while. I wish that Navritil had made it. Stephie was a No Show, and I didn't see loulou or Stkman here, this weekend. I'm sure we'll see them next time.

Things are gonna get far Worse, before they get better, but we can't let it get us down.

We need to adhere to the olde adage that: The best Revenge for people like The Halfrican? Is to Live a Good Life.

So, live a Good Life.

See you all, Tomorrow, and remember: It wouldn't kill you to send me some Money, every now and then.

Chow.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 6:14PM

I almost forgot The Colonel.

He gets my Undying Respect, as I'm all out Crap to send him.

How ya doin, Colonel?

You all right?

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 6:18PM

And, B Shep.

He gets the Rookie of the Week Award, and a Gold Plated Invitation to Join Us, again, next time.

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 6:06PM

Ladies and Gentlemen.

My Friend: Albert Constantine Jr.

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 6:13PM

Thank you, Tim. I will try again to summarize this week's get together within the confines of rhyme:

To help build strength to stay the fight
Tim has a contest each fortnight
A call goes out on every thread
It’s time our humor should be fed
The rules are set by T L P
As he throws out the first entry
And Jack was first to heed the call
With his fresh poem from Kennesaw
with words to follow this new Bard
comes next an entry from Hardcard
and to help stave off our defeat
there’s a ballad next from Pecos Pete
into our midst a rookie leapt
with a news story from B Shep
and for all those Liberals now bereft
a toast for a roast who once leaned left
and back to music once again
a folk song penned by L’il Jen
an Aussie shot for trouble too
entered by C J W
service by John II had us pray
about the speech Obama did bray
and like Paul Bunyan tree’s a’ fellin’
a song of hope by our Joellen

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 6:14PM

and for all whose hope was gone
the ship of state regained by Kwan
For the trouble King O’s startin’
A poison pen came from R Martin
And from Alaska a main course
B L served a talking horse
And through it all with thickened plots
There’s commentary by Moe Blotz
An American (not American’t)
With many thoughts here by Bob Grant
And as good movies have a trailer
We heard the words of Drunken Sailor
As precious as an oyster’s pearl
We heard from Gold H 2 Oh Girl
And when we thought all had their fill
An appearance from John Navratil
And to help drive back the vandals
A late entry by Jake McCandles
As time passed by with many drinks
Warrior came with all his links
And if you didn’t like that probe
Harry Potter came with Job
With but a word loulou was heard
And Tina showed up on day third
And Drop-ins were not finished yet
As Sunday also brought Subvet
A rally on an unused thread
A chance to smile or shake your head
Forgotten shows a favorite song
Recite the words or sing along
Spell it wrong leave out a comma
Just be sure to mock obama
And hope one day we’ll be more free
That’s why we thank you T L P

Pecos Pete| 2.17.13 @ 7:11PM

As of the time of this post, 413 comments. Ignoring the first 5 which were related to the article by TAS Staff about the SOTU speech (BTW, what did the talking mannequin say? Does anyone remember?), that leaves 408 for Tim's Contest.

408 rhymes with
Circumnavigate
And 4,934 other
Words so heavyweight

Thanks to Judge(s)
So great
We are free
To demodulate

The words of
Dictate
By Barry O
The chief of state

Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.17.13 @ 7:37PM

Once your math was very fine
but your comment made Four Oh Nine
with other comments in between
I think we're now at four sixteen
but I still tip my cap to you
I just won't do it with haiku

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 6:15PM

Isn't he Great?

TLP| 2.17.13 @ 6:23PM
