UGA vs McCrusty's team

It’s perfectly fair to say that the Sun Devils may be somewhat of a challenge to the number 3 team in the nation.  It’s perfectly fair to say that the only reason they lost to an inferior UNLV team was due to a lack of focus and nothing close to a loss of talent.  It’s perfectly fair to say that if you are staring down the snout of the most feared SEC team in the nation, no team can be expected to focus on anything other than that Hairy Dawg coming at you, fully extended, teeth gleaming in the midday sun. 

To add insult to injury, when those southern boys from UGA ascend on McCrusty's love nest and the little She Devils are totally elated and popping for a single glimpse of a young Stafford in red and black, it’s all over but the 3am phone call explaining how the power of the dawg was just too much to overcome.  Once you go red and black, you never go back!

God help the Sun Devil’s soul when UGA takes a chunk out of his heathen-lovin’ A**!

Go DAWGS!

In all the excitement of politics, I apologize for being remiss on those things that are most important.

The Dawgs go up against the Gamecocks of SC today. (UGA -7.5) I fully expect a hearty bowl of coq au vin when all is said and done..

7 years and Counting!

Today, as the old man does every year, same time, same thought process, same reflection, same sear of memories rushing back to him, he ponders the set of events and marvel at the circumstances that landed him in NY's financial district 9-11-2001.

Could have been struck by lightning, could have won the lottery, could have carried the USA to victory in speed walking in the Olympics. NOPE, the old man's once in a lifetime event was to witness live, up close, and forever personal and in all its furry, the horrific event that is now and will forever be labeled as simply, 9-11.

To those that lost love ones, condolences..

To those that fought their way out, godspeed..

To those that witnessed, don't forget

To those that were responsible and still alive, KEEP RUNNING..YOUR DAY WILL COME!

Little man, hello down there!

GREAT CHOICE - Fat Lady's up!

Once again, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!?????

The airways are burning up with the news that this Historic candidate has a teenage daughter that is pregnant.

History aside, ARE YOU KIDDING? Between raising a teenager daughter under the republican guidelines of “abstinence only”, who is now pregnant at 17(could happen to anyone), questionable judgment on the trooper scandal, earmarks as mayor, lack of any kind of experience, lack of any type of real education and on and on and on and on, blah, blah blah, blah, oh my god what was MCcrusty thinking, blah…….

Now you diehard Republicans may certainly say this doesn’t prove anything, her kids are off limits, her brother-n-law was a loser, her mayoral record is “how the game is played”, her education is “fine”, and lay off old Mccrusty.

One problem, because Miss Wasilla has absolutely zero friggin accomplishments that are of any substance other than to be crowned Miss Wasilla in 1984 and Miss “MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M TYPING THIS” CONGENIALITY in The Miss Alaska pageant, we may have to dig a little deeper to see what the HELL Miss Beauty girl is going to do in a standoff with some of the world’s most educated and USA hating individuals on the planet.

Enter door left, house and senate majority leaders. Both are about 10 gazillion times more experienced and adapt at getting what they want. Hell, Obama would face down those two better than a girl with a friggin communications degree from Whatthefrig Univerisity.

“Poly Sci”, you say!!!!!

“WHATEVER”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me just say, as Mccrusty has hired this lady to most certainly be the next President of the United States as he strokes out after 6 months of getting his ass kicked by Pelosi and Reed, we’re going to need all cards on the table. Does this lady really have what it takes to face down some of the largest threats to this country since Regan was kicking Gobachev’s wall lovin ass into submission.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for you Republican diehards but….

The fat lady is screaming like she just missed her 5pm Twinkie fix.

A brushing a day keeps the doctor away..

History continued..

Now it's the Republican's turn. Sarah "hockey mom" Palin will be confirmed this week as the second woman to ever be placed on a major American political party 's ticket as VP. Sarah's only predecessor, Geraldine Ferraro , who accomplished this with Mondale back in '84.

That said and all the respect in the world for the historical accomplishment.......

What is with this election cycle? Why don't we just start recruiting straight out of college? Hell, make it high school. Certainly, Obama has no business either being the number one guy in the hot seat. He's got like 5 minutes of experience being anything. Very smart guy, don't get me wrong but so is a kid coming straight out of MIT with a degree in Nuclear Engineering. I don't want nuke boy's pimple-popping, geek squad member, video game lovin' ass trying to have a conversation with Putin's puppet master over the possibility of nuclear war! I sure as heck wouldn't want the Star Trek lovin' genius giving Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a Vulcan death stare, hoping that will prevent the extremist nation's leader from continuing the development of nuclear weapons, hell bent on destroying Israel. And the last thing we need is some 40 pound, soaking wet, socially deprived genius with his boney little finger on the BUTTON!

Maybe the Maya calendar has it correct????

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN even as I cringe over the political ramifications….

1863-- President Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation freeing "all slaves in areas still in rebellion." 

In the years that pass, there are many that oppose, many that fear, and many that simply hate. 

There are many that refuse CHANGE!

1866 -- Ku Klux Klan formed in secrecy; disbands 1869-71; resurgence in 1915.

1883 -- Supreme Court invalidates 1875 Civil Rights Act, saying that the federal government cannot bar discrimination by corporations or individuals.

1906 -- Race riots in Atlanta; 21 dead, city under martial law.

1923 -- Oklahoma placed under martial law because of Ku Klux Klan activities.

1925 -- Ku Klux Klan marches on Washington.

And then there are Heroes, those that pa’s father adored, those that started and continued a movement that would not die!

1955 -- Rosa Parks refuses to move to the back of a Montgomery, Alabama, bus as required by city ordinance; boycott follows and bus segregation ordinance is declared unconstitutional.

1962 -- President Kennedy sends federal troops to the University of Mississippi to quell riots so that James Meredith, the school's first black student, can attend.

1963 --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivers "I Have a Dream" speech to hundreds of thousands at the March on Washington.

And it took still, over 40 years to overcome.   

August 27^th 2008, Barack Obama becomes the first African American to be a major party’s nominee for President of the United States!

We are not fully there yet.  We will continue to fight that fight!  That said:

My Pa’s father would have been proud!

Oh No He Didn't!!!

While the OLD, OLD, OLD and crusty McCain was taking a beating over the number of houses he has or doesn't have, he pulls into LA on the straight talk express hell bent to set the record straight on late night TV.

I guess American folk can't be trusted to watch the news channels anymore but by god bless we will make certain we get our Leno, Letterman, Colbert, and Stewart. But really, do you blame? Who wants to listen to the same OLD, same OLD from Fox, CNN or MSNBC(if you can stand that rag of tabloid shit).

As McCrusty started to speak, he continued to remind me of the wonderful, warm, compassionate,,,,,, OLD grandpa that wants you to come over, sit on his lap, and let him pull a quarter out of your ear! My friggin God this guy is OLD. I digress...

Anyway, back to my point. As grandpa pulled into LA, he had one thing on his mind, tell the American people why, how and to what extend he is rich beyond what the average dog can fathom.

At this point it breaks down for the OLD salt. Not only did he not make anyone feel better about the fact that he can't even come close to understanding what it feels like to spend $4 dollars a gallon on gas, he launches into this very moving, very nostalgic, very John Wayne and very senile story about the 5 years he spend getting his ass beat by the Vietnamese.

Don't go there you say? Listen, I respect the hell out of the OLD boy. I do! BUT MOVE ON! We all have heard the story. It's heart wrenching! It's heroic! It is an amazing thing that pappy did for his country so many years ago. I get it. I appreciate it. I don't discredit him for that.

Explain this to me again though, what does all that have to do with 5, 6, 10, 15, 25 houses, how you're going to solve global Terrorism, how you're going to strengthen the dollar, are you pro life or choice, are you going to appoint constructionist or communist to the court or how you're going to solve world hunger? Slipped that last one in for you fun loving liberal types. YOU'RE WELCOME, god sakes!

This OLD dog doesn't get it!

Obama and Biden

Has a nice ring to it.

The senior senator from Delaware brings a certain charm to the most liberal ticket ever imagined out loud without a clown hat and big boots on. Where the hell is Delaware anyway? Is that really a state? It must be something. Mr. Biden has hoodwinked those poor folks for 30 years into thinking he was making a "difference". The only "difference" he has been making is creating a different way to tax the American people, creating a different paycheck for himself each year, and cultivating that different disease he's so well known for, "foot in mouth".

Speaking of that paycheck.... Did Biden just say he has a net worth of between $75k and $150k? He is an educated man, right? He has been in the senate for 30 years, right? He is like 60 friggin years old, right? Now don't get this dog wrong, the average man that is worth $75k - $150k at retirement age is down right respectable. Hell, most people can't get their heads out of the credit card man's ass. $150k for a lot of Americans is something they can be proud to have and will provide comfort in their dying years. That said, I don't want the average man in the number 2 spot helping to control and set policy related to the U.S economy. This man can barely handle his own finances, I'm not certain I want him handling the governments. He's made between $100k and $300K a year for 20 damn years. Save a dime for god sake, Mr. Biden. Isn't that the biggest complaint against Americans these days? Don't we have a huge deficit sitting there waiting to drive this economy into the toilet? Aren't we the most debt strapped humans on the planet?

The ticket of change has now become the ticket of "get me elected at all frigging cost". Clean,Young, Well dressed Black man, as Biden likes to refer to his soon-to-be boss, may possibly be the most unknown, longest running, liberal, racist senator in history. That's not true at all, he is just the longest-running, openly stupid with his mouth, senator. Either way you chose to take that last part should be a problem for you. Mr. Biden's bashing of blacks, Indians and minorities in general are well chronicled. I guess Democrats are much more interested in getting elected than they are of promoting equal rights. Well, we shouldn't be too harsh. In public, when the cameras are rolling and mouth boy is in control, he talks a great game. It's the gaffs that tell us a lot about what a man thinks, not the script, right? By the way, did Obama say something about poor folks clinging to their guns and religion?
