Olbermann Joins Cast Of Dancing With The Tsars!

No - that's not a typo. ABC has announced a new run of dance segments in honor of the Obama administration's Tsars. Of course the new segments will highlight a Russian theme featuring.... Tsars!

The first celebrity segment will feature PMS-NBC's Keith Olbermann in full regalia. When he announced his participation Olbermann was giddy and ecstatic. According to a "pal" Olbermann said "I feel so in touch with my feminine side when I dance". The producers of Dancing With The Tsars were not sure if they should pair Olbermann with a woman or a man for a dancing partner so they decided to match him up with Janet Napolitano. "That way, we'll be safe" said producer Seymore Butts, according to an "insider".

In the photo on the upper left, Olby is featured wearing his favorite "Daisy Dukes" along with a keen pair of Argyle socks and a pair of his most lovely Oxford shoes for his dance segment. "The little fringe thingy was all my idea" giggled Olbermann as he hummed "I Enjoy Being A Girl", one of his favorite tunes from the motion picture "Flower Drum Song".

Olbermann was quoted by a "friend" as saying "All of this talk of teabagging has got me feeling so silly and excited. I just had to be on the show". After filming his first segment on Dancing With The Tsars Olby was last seen heading out to West Hollywood for a night of "clubbing" and zany fun.

Good luck Keith on Dancing With The Tsars. Here's a big "shout out" for Janet Napolitano too. You guys, gals, folks, look great together. You're a perfect match. And since you're so obsessed with them, watch out for those Teabaggers in West Hollywood Keith or you might end up being the cup instead of the teabag!

Lil' Bow Wow

Mmm mmm mmm... Barack Hussein Obowma!

Obowma is at it again. Bowing and scraping before another world leader in violation of previous Presidential protocols. Well Jesus H. Christ! You can dress Obowma up but you sure as Hell can't take him anywhere. Click image to enlarge.

Let's see how Robert Gibbs and the Obowma spinmasters handle this one. Here are some possible explanations from Gibbs at the next White House news conference explaining Obowma's latest diplomatic gaffe....

• "Cuz" he liked them so much, Obama was admiring the lovely black penny-loafers of the Emperor.
• His Hemorrhoids were acting up and he didn't pack the Preperation-H so he wanted some fast acting relief.
• Obama spotted an Oriental Cockroach and was about to step on it.
• Due to rough and kinky sex with Michelle the previous night Obama couldn't straighten up.
• Barack dropped a "big fat joint" and was just looking for it before the Emperor found his "stash".
• Our Afghanistan war strategy was stenciled onto his shoes so Obama wouldn't forget when discussing it with the Emperor.
• Without a teleprompter, his notes were cleverly sewn into the pattern of the carpet fabric so he could remember what to say.
• The Presidential beans were giving him gas and he just "cut a big fat juicy fart".

The possibilities are endless and Robert Gibbs is a world class liar. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the pantloads in the White House Rose Garden spin this one. It ought to be pretty good.

Rant # 69 - Internet Explorer 8 Blows Goats!

After upgrading from Internet Explorer 7 to Internet Explorer 8 last week I figured my web browsing would be all set. Five days later and another "upgrade" from Microsoft just got rolled back to an earlier version. IMHO Explorer 8 is a total fucking dog. I was running it with XP Pro with service pack 2. Could that have been the problem? I refuse to run Windows Vista again. I used Vista for a month and rolled back to XP. To me Windows Vista is about as worthless as Windows ME

I may not have the fastest PC in the world but it isn't a Toad either. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200 CPU that runs at 2 Gigahertz with 960 MB of DDR Ram. Not exactly a monster but it should run Explorer 8 well enough. I've had as many as three OS's running (2 versions of Windows and 1 Linux) via a boot loader and have never really had any performance issues. Multi-tasking has never been a problem either. I also keep my Windows Registry maintained and am always defragging my hard drive. Scumware, Spyware, and Viruses have not been a problem either. But - after watching my ani-gifs on this very blog crawling along and not displaying properly the last few days I decided to downgrade back to Explorer 7 and see if it cured my problems. It did.

Anyway, here's another great example of Microsoft fixing something that wasn't broken. Here's hoping the new version of Windows doesn't suffer from the same performance "issues" as their sorry-ass browser Explorer 8 seems to have. I did some Google research on the Web and found a shitload of complaints about Explorer 8 so I know the problem it isn't just me.

Thank God for monopolies or Microsoft would be out of business based on some of their applications. Bare in mind I am not one of those people who make a habit of bashing Microsoft. I really admire most of the apps, but it's no wonder the Web is so thick with Bill Gates jokes. You gotta love the old Geek though.... he keeps coming back with the same buggy, resource hogging shit over and over and look where it's gotten him.

Aretha Franklin - When Motown Was Motown

The title of this post says it all. Now listen and enjoy a great song from one of Motown's very best. A singer like Aretha Franklin only comes along once in a lifetime. And, as an added benefit, she wears real animal fur in defiance of PETA and subsequently makes their shit list. You gotta love that!

Time To Take Out The Trash

Today is going to be a day of justice. It's been seven years coming, but John Allen Muhammad will be executed in Virginia unless granted a reprieve by Governor Tim Kaine.

There's not much more to say other than he'll die by lethal injection. That's a lot more humane than the way he executed his targets. Several surviving family members of his victims plan to be in attendance and watch this piece of trash draw his last breath. Good riddance and they can throw his body out with the rest of the garbage on pick-up day.

Larry David & Hollywood's Dhimmitude Part Deux

To anyone who doesn't know the definition of the word Dhimmitude I can give you some examples of those who personify it. Let's start with Larry David. In a recent post I ranted about Larry's cheap shot attack on a Christian target in his "Curb Your Enthusiasm" HBO television show. The actual content of the episode doesn't really matter. What matters is Larry felt it was okay to lampoon Christianity in the name of a cheap laugh. I have no problem there. This is the USA and we have very specific freedoms thanks to the First Amendment of our great Constitution. My beef is; Larry in his wildest, most perverted dreams would NEVER have the balls to do the same to Islam in today's world. That would invite a Fatwa. So much for creative freedom.

Another great example is the upcoming Sci-Fi movie 2012. It is due to be released on Friday. In a revealing Yahoo interview, director Roland Emmerich mentioned all of the world's landmarks that he has destroyed over the years in his various movies. Movies such as Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow. The subject happened to come up of destroying the Kaaba, the cube shaped structure in the Islamic holy city of Mecca. Emmerich confessed his reasons for not destroying any Islamic landmarks was the fear of a Fatwa. I guess the Vatican and other great religious landmarks can't be destroyed fast enough for Hollywood but don't dare touch Islam, even in the context of a movie or you'll have to live the rest of your life in fear of assassination.

All of this leads me to the recent slaughter of thirteen American Soldiers at Fort Hood. May their souls rest in peace but just what did they die for if we can't even get our so-called President to call their murders what they were? These murders weren't "Anger Management" issues or "Man Caused Disasters". This was Islamic terrorism and nothing more. And yet Obama urges restraint about "not drawing any conclusions" until all the "facts are in".

It was confirmed that the shooter yelled out the Muslim battle cry "Allah Akbar" several times during his rampage. It may be legally correct to not accuse Nidal Hasan of these murders but the moral aspect of calling terrorism what it is, is the right thing to do. Now when will our President be willing to do that? Thank God GWB didn't have the same lack of intestinal fortitude.

The Difference Between a Man & A Man-Child Is...

in the words of the clip below. Just where as a Nation we are headed? Has the difference between a Lib and a Conservative ever been more clear and more articulate than in the video below.

Larry David: Ha Ha Ha - You Funny Guy!

11/09/09 - Update: I wonder if Larry David and the gutless clowns at HBO will have anything to say about the murders of our Soldiers last week at Fort Hood by an Islamic Extremist? Or as so many of the other Dhimi will they just consider this an extreme case of PTS?

Here's another great post from FrontPageMag by regular contributor and editor Jamie Glazov. I saw a report on FOX News the other night about this HBO episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and then the story more or less disappeared. Evidently HBO has no problems picking on easy targets such as Christians and Jews but they wouldn't dare to run shit like this if it were about Muslims.

For the last several years we have been subjected to stories of Muslims and their outrage over perceived insults to the Koran and Islam. For the most part the Lame Stream Media have bent over (They're gonna need more Vaseline) in a lame and cowardly attempt NOT to offend the Religion of Peace. All the while, Judaism, Christianity, and some of the other great Religions of the World have been fair game for Hollywood and the far-left. It's also known as Dhimitude my friends but by any other name it's Cowardice. The article by Glazov is below.

In a recent Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Larry David accidentally urinates on a picture of Jesus while he is a guest in someone else’s home. This, in turn, leads to a misunderstanding in which the homeowners think they have a miraculously weeping Jesus.
Some Christians are understandably upset.

Just some thoughts on what this episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm has revealed:
Are producers of this show, or Larry David, or anyone else connected to it fearing for their lives right now? Are there Christian groups calling for the death of anyone in connection to this episode?

In comparison, let us say, to the Muhammad cartoons riots and death threats, what does this say about Islam and Christianity? Which faith is a Religion of Peace and which one is not?
Would the producers of this show have just as easily allowed a scene in which Larry David urinates on a Koran? He couldn’t urinate on a picture of Muhammad because we all know that making a representation of Muhammad gets you an immediate death sentence. So we have to settle for the Holy Book. But how much does anyone want to bet that this would never be allowed?

Question: Why in our culture is urinating on Jesus easily permitted but urinating on the Koran is simply unthinkable? What does this signify? And why is it that the people who right now are rolling their eyes and saying that Christians should get a life because this is freedom of expression, the same ones who would be up in arms if Larry David had done the same thing to the Koran? They are the ones who blamed the artists of the Muhammad cartoons for provoking and upsetting Muslims. They are the ones who argue that, when it comes to the sensibilities of Muslims, free speech has limits. If Curb Your Enthusiasm had an episode in which Larry David urinated on a Koran, they would be on the front lines saying that this is Islamophobia and that we must be sensitive to the feelings of Muslims, etc. It would be deemed as hate speech. There would be lawsuits and the show would be cancelled and David’s career would be over.

HBO has come to the defense of the episode, saying that it is all about parody. Everyone needs to lighten up. So, if Larry David urinated on the Koran, would HBO tell everyone they need to lighten up because it is parody? What does it say that we know for a fact that the latter would simply never happen?
What meaning and lesson do we draw from this

A big fat Fuck You to Larry David for being a coward and picking on an easy target. The irony is apparently lost on Larry that by being Jewish, he would be among the first to lose his head in a Muslim dominated world. Not only is he a coward, but he is a stupid coward.

Palate Cleanser - Scientists Observe The Two Oldest Things In The Universe!

I am a huge Astronomy buff and often watch the programs on PBS, The Science Channel, Discovery, and National Geographic when they cover the subject. Had I been better at math, physics, chemistry, and a couple dozen other science subjects and been able to afford a hundred-thousand dollars on a Cal-Tech education I might very well have ended up an Astronomer instead of becoming the lowly auto tech I am. However, I did take an Astronomy course at the local Community College ten years ago and we had some very interesting discussions during lectures....

This morning Yahoo featured a story of a thirteen-billion old remnant of a gamma-ray burst. Since we now have more powerful visual and radio telescopes we are constantly seeing and hearing farther and farther back into the history of our Universe. I can remember asking my Astronomy Professor a question during a lecture that (at that time) I considered stupid and naive. I asked him if, as we build stronger telescopes and continue to study the stars, will we ever actually see the "Big Bang" since we are virtually peering into the past with our observations? His answer was essentially no. It has something to do with how long it actually takes the light to travel to Earth and how fast we are moving away from the "Big Bang" and center of the original explosion. Now I am starting to wonder if he was wrong?

The image of the thirteen-billion year old gamma-ray burst is on the upper left. The actual Burst is a faint red dot in the center of the image. For a look at the second oldest object ever observed in the known Universe - click here.

Content Warning: the image is quite intense and of an object that is very very old.

Dog And Pony Show # 714

Well that Giant of American journalism and "diplomacy", Sean Penn, is at it again. He's off to Cuba for an eye-opening interview with (hopefully) Fidel Castro. Once again, one of Hollywood's premiere Useful Idiots will allow himself to be paraded around one of the last of the World's failing Communist regimes and look to perpetuate more propaganda success stories.

As they so often do, the far-left in Hollywood (and some members of Congress) continue to grovel and be duped by Fidel Castro. These people include Danny Glover, Oliver Stone, Marxine Waters, Brian DePalma, Michael Moore..... the list of these fools goes on and on. And why is Danny Glover, who was a champion against the Apartheid system in South Africa a fan of Castro? Castro's Cuba is an extremely racist State. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume these are reasonably intelligent people (Marxine Waters excluded) who are blinding themselves in the name of ideology. Then again a wise man once said "stupid is as stupid does".

After a lifetime of reading and seeing stories of Cuban refugees floating on inner tubes, stowing away on ships, defecting during the Olympics and other sporting events, etc..., I just don't understand the Hollywood fascination with Fidel Castro. There are far more interesting stories of bravery and desperation to be told coming from the REAL people of Cuba rather than anything the Castro Brothers have to say. A great American movie has yet to be produced telling their tales. And yet we still have fools who travel to Cuba looking for success stories when the most interesting and true successes are the stories of the people who escaped from Castro's Cuba and risked their lives to come to America. When will Hollywood tell their story?

Thanks to Jammie Wearing Fool for the heads-up. And thanks to Breitbart.com for providing links this morning to this and other interesting Hollywood/Liberal douchebaggery.

Congrats To The Yankees

Last night the Los Angeles Angels brought a knife to a gunfight with predictable results. Too many errors and too little offense didn't get the job done. The Angels had a great season and will be back better than ever next Year. I do hope they don't panic in Anaheim and start trying to fix what isn't broken - IOW don't fire the manager and coaches. The Angles need a little more pitching and another long-ball hitter in case Vladimir Guerrero decides to head for greener pastures.

So congratulations to the NY Yankees for winning the American League Pennant. They are/were the better team and they deserve to be in the World Series.

Where's K-Rod?

Last night the Angels survived another offensive blitz by the Yankees to take the series back to New York. John Lackey was sailing along until the seventh inning and then the wheels came off. NY scored six runs and just like that a 4-0 shutout becomes a 6-4 reversal of fortune. Where's K-Rod? Oh shit, I forgot. He's in NY too.

The Angels have had good, if not great relief pitching over the years, but last night it became apparent that what we have now isn't getting the job done. When the Yankees jumped on John Lackey in the seventh we had no stopper. Angel Manager Mike Scioscia pulled Lackey for a reliever and the Angels paid the price. Did Mike Scioscia whip out the hook too soon? Angel fans will be arguing over this one for a while. I was in agreement with Scioscia. Lackey had lost his stuff and control. He threw about six or seven balls in a row.

The problem is/was we don't have a stopper anymore. And this is probably why the series will end Saturday. The Yankees just keep coming back and the Angels can't do a damn thing about it. The Yankees almost pulled the game out in the ninth inning with another comeback. The Angels have a potent offense but it's not enough. We can't/don't match up hitter-for-hitter against the Yankees. The Yankees have three great clutch hitters in Posada, A-Rod, and Jeeter. I'm a die-hard fan and will watch with great interest game six but without a 2009 version of K-Rod, Troy Percival, Minnie Rojas ____________ fill in the blank line with your favorite Angel great reliever, we're up against it.

Congratulations Philly

Well I guess I'll have to wait another year for a Dodger/Angel World Series. Last night the Phillie's overwhelmed the boys in blue by a 10-4 score and are headed to the Series. Congrats to Philadelphia and I'll have to see what happens tonight with the Yankees and Angels. Things are looking mighty grim.

To Sue or Not to Sue? – by Thomas Sowell

To Sue or Not to Sue? – by Thomas Sowell

I read David Horowitz's site, FrontPageMag, every day. This morning Thomas Sowell posted a thought provoking article about Rush Limabugh and whether he should sue over the LIES that were written and spoken about him last week. Of course the NFL ownership deal is dead in the water and many are wondering if it's even worth the trouble for Rush.

Thomas weighs in on the subject of sourcing and lies in his article. Sowell also points out some interesting facts about slander. Public figures have a larger burden of proof when it comes to lawsuits involving slander and libel. The same laws that protect the "real" media also protect the tabloids if I read this story correctly. IOW it's almost impossible to sue and win in Rush's case.

How else would the Enquirer, Globe, Star, and some of the other rags be allowed to go to print. Many, if not most of the articles in the tabloids are often (not) sourced by "pals", "insiders", "a friend", among other vague descriptions. This kind of reporting and protection is why in all likelihood, Rush will never sue. And yet Axleroid, Emmanual, and Dunn consider these fools who trashed Rush to be the "real" media while arrogantly dismissing FOX.
