Man In The Middle

Who will be the most powerful Senator after January? Why ... Joe Lieberman of course. He will be the proverbial Man In The Middle. The swing vote. The man who calls the shots. All he has to do is walk across the aisle and the Demoncrats’ dream of retaking the Senate go up in smoke.

If I were Joe, as soon as I got through pulling all the knives out of my back, I’d start passing out Chap-Stick™ to every one of the asshat jerks in the Democratic Party who were perfectly happy to stab Joe in the back and try to flush him down the drain in the recent election. After all, their lips might get a little dry from all the ass-kissing they’re going to have to do just to keep him from gettin’ a little payback.

All I have to say to Senator Joe is summed up in the immortal words of that great philosopher Theo Kojak, “Who luvs ya, baby? Want a lollipop?”

Lieberman Refuses To Close Door On Switching Parties
HARTFORD, Conn. (BOSTON GLOBE) - November 12, 2006

imageimageSen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) on Sunday repeated his pledge to caucus with Senate Democrats when the 110th Congress convenes in January, but refused to slam the door on possibly moving to the Republican side of the aisle.

Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he might follow the example of Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont, who left the Republicans in 2001 and became an independent, ending Republican control of the U.S. Senate, Lieberman refused to discount the possibility.

“I’m not ruling it out but I hope I don’t get to that point,” he said. “And I must say—and with all respect to the Republicans who supported me in Connecticut—nobody ever said, ‘We’re doing this because we want you to switch over. We want you to do what you think is right and good for our state and country,’ and I appreciate that.”

A spokeswoman for Lieberman would not elaborate when contacted by The Associated Press. Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont defeated Lieberman in the Democratic primary in August. Lieberman was elected to a fourth term last Tuesday as an independent, and said Sunday his political affiliation will be as an “Independent Democrat.”

The Democrats won control of the Senate with 51 seats. Lieberman and newly elected Bernie Sanders of Vermont are the Senate’s only Independents. A switch to the Republicans would bring the Senate to a 50-50 division, giving Republican Vice President Dick Cheney opportunities to break tie votes.

Jeffords’ decision to quit the GOP and become an independent tipped the balance of an evenly divided Senate, handing control to the Democrats with a one-vote margin.

Needless to say, the backstabbing, asshat Democrats who were perfectly willing to throw Joe to the wolves a month ago are now falling all over themselves trying to make sure Joe has no hard feelings ...

Apologetic Dems Need Lieberman’s Sway In Senate
WASHINGTON (NATIONAL POST) - Thursday, November 09, 2006

Suddenly everybody is Joe Lieberman’s best friend. Thrown out of his party just three months ago, the Connecticut Senator and one-time Democratic vice-presidential candidate has emerged from Tuesday’s mid-term elections as one of the most powerful lawmakers in Washington.

Elected as an independent to a fourth term in office, Mr. Lieberman, 64, finds himself being courted by Republicans, suddenly lacking a Senate majority. He has also received conciliatory phone calls from Democrats, who had cast him as a turncoat for supporting the President on the war in Iraq. The reason is simple: Both parties need him.

With the Senate race in Virginia still disputed, Democrats remain at least one seat short of winning an outright majority and taking control of Congress. Even if Democrat James Webb ultimately defeats incumbent Republican Senator George Allen, Mr. Lieberman’s vote will be crucial to Democrats seeking to impose their legislative agenda on Washington in the next two years.

For Republicans, who now have just 49 Senate seats, Mr. Lieberman could be an important ally on thorny security issues like counterterrorism policy and border security. So, his detractors could forgive the Senator if he gloated a bit yesterday about the change in his fortunes.

At a news conference in Hartford, Conn., Mr. Lieberman said he planned to caucus with his old Democratic colleagues. But he hinted at his newfound clout, announcing he was “beholden to no one except the voters of Connecticut and my own conscience.” The election gave him a mandate to make a “declaration of independence from partisanship in Washington.”

Welcome To Okinawa

Read my lips .... Nancy Pelosi is pushing John Murtha for House Majority Leader. OK, now that you’ve s**t your britches, let’s take a little trip back into recent history ...

Robert Novak, “Murtha’s Second Act” (TOWNHALL) - June 22, 2006

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” last Sunday, Rep. John Murtha repeated his call for “redeploying” U.S. troops from Iraq with something new—and disturbing to fellow Democrats. Asked by moderator Tim Russert about sites for redeployment, Murtha replied: “We can go to Okinawa. ... We can redeploy there almost instantly.”

When Russert expressed doubt about “a timely response” from Okinawa to meet a Middle East crisis, the 16-term congressman from western Pennsylvania and new national security spokesman for his party stumbled: “Well, it—you know, they—when I say Okinawa, I, I’m saying troops in Okinawa. When I say a timely response, you know, our fighters can fly from Okinawa very quickly. And—and—when they don’t know we’re coming.”

In fact, a Pentagon spokesman says it would take “under a month” to send a 4,500-man Marine Expeditionary Force 6,000 nautical miles from Okinawa to Bahrain and then 600 more miles to Baghdad.

Murtha’s Okinawa answer embarrassed Democratic House members who would not dream of criticizing publicly the former backroom pol who became an icon to the party’s antiwar base last November by calling for an immediate troop withdrawal. His performance on “Meet the Press” reinforced dismay inside the party that Murtha, at age 74, has announced his candidacy for majority leader if the Democrats regain control of the House in the 2006 elections.

Jack Murtha proves there are second acts in American politics. I had forgotten that federal prosecutors designated him an unindicted co-conspirator in the Abscam investigation 26 years ago. I was reminded of it after Murtha became a candidate for majority leader, not by a Republican hit man but a Democratic former colleague in the House. In a long political career, Murtha has made bitter enemies inside his party who are alarmed by his new stature.

Got all that? Good, because come January when the Donks descend on Washington, we are going to witness the biggest train wreck in American politics since ... well ... since never. For six years the rabid jackasses have ranted and railed and complained that Republicans are doing everything wrong and as you can see from the above, the rhetoric has bordered on the insane at times.

The problem they now face is that they have to reverse course on everything just to prove they were right. Otherwise, they will be forced to admit they were full of shit all along. Putting freaks like John Murtha in charge is only the beginning of what is going to be a long nightmare for all of us. I only hope we can survive until 2008 without too much damage.

The Democrats just don’t get it. Somebody forgot to tell them that we are at war with people who are trying to kill us ... and that’s just the beginning. They want to pull out of the fight and lose everything we’ve gained to date in the war against radical Islamofascists. Not to mention the kooks in Iran and North Korea who are on the verge of throwing nukes at everyone.

On the bright side, our troops will be pleased to know that the weather in Okinawa is rather pleasant this time of year with temps at 75 degrees and humidity of 54%. Clear skies and warm Pacific breezes are in the forecast for our weary troops. There’s only one problem that Rep. Murtha overlooked ... we gave Okinawa back to Japan in 1972. I wonder what the Japanese will have to say about 140,000 American troops suddenly descending on their tiny island.

Stay tuned. We have a long and bumpy road ahead of us ... and there’s a jackass behind the wheel ... and he just got his learner’s permit ...

Pelosi Puts Weight Behind Murtha in Leader Bid
(ROLL CALL) - Sunday, Nov. 12; 7:08 pm

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in line to become Speaker in January, is throwing her support to Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) in the race for Majority Leader, a move that will be an early test of her influence and will weigh heavily on Murtha’s contest with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) for the post.

Pelosi, in a letter distributed Sunday to newly elected House Democrats, wrote that Murtha’s outspoken opposition to the war in Iraq helped change the electoral campaign for the House this fall. Murtha began calling for a U.S. pullout from Iraq a year ago, and his open opposition to the war made him a focus of intense criticism from Republicans and the White House.

Pelosi, though, credited Murtha, one of her closest allies in the House, with changing the national debate on the issue and helping provide Democratic challengers and incumbents with a winning argument for the mid-term elections.

“With respect to Iraq in particular, I salute your courageous leadership that changed the national debate and helped make Iraq the central issue of this historic election,” Pelosi wrote in a personal letter to Murtha. “Your leadership gave so many Americans, including respected military leaders, the encouragement to voice their own disapproval at a failed policy that weakens our military and makes stability in that region even more difficult to achieve.

The enthusiastic response of Americans all across this nation gave an enormous lift to our Democratic efforts, and your unsurpassed personal solicitations produced millions of dollars which were new to the effort. Those resources made a huge difference and particularly for the candidates on whose behalf you campaigned.”

Pelosi added: “Your strong voice for national security, the war on terror and Iraq provides genuine leadership for our party, and I count on you to continue to lead on these vital issues. For this and for all you have done for Democrats in the past and especially this last year, I am pleased to support your candidacy for Majority Leader for the 110th Congress.”

Barking Moonbat Of The Week

Any more stupid talk like this from a New York yankee congressman and they’ll be a-firin’ on Fort Sumter again any day now. Leave it to an arrogant Democrat to piss off as many people as possible only days after winning an election. For this, Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY) gets the John F. Kerry Foot In Mouth Award this week. The only question left is “who the hell wants to live in New York?” Besides Bubba and Hillary, that is ...

imageimageMississippians Rise Up Over Rangel’s Comment
(NY TIMES) _ November 11, 2006

It was a remark, says Representative Charles B. Rangel, uttered with regional pride rather than rancor. But he apologized nonetheless.

On Wednesday, the day after the Democrats won a House majority, Mr. Rangel, the Harlem Democrat poised to become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which writes tax legislation, talked about winning back more of the tax revenue that New York State sends to the Treasury.

He said, “Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?”

Apparently, a lot of people do, and they are not shy about saying so. Charles W. Pickering Jr., a Mississippi Republican and a colleague of Mr. Rangel’s, was the first to publicly take umbrage. He reacted as if he and his state had been slapped with a glove.

“Mr. Rangel owes the people of Mississippi an apology,” he said in a statement. “I hope his remarks are not the kind of insults, slander and defamation that Mississippians will come to expect from the Democrat leadership in Washington, D.C.”

Mr. Pickering, who is from Laurel, Miss., marched to his peroration. “From the coast to the Delta to the Pine Belt to the hills and across Mississippi,” he said, “there is beauty in every city, charity in every heart, love in every church, and majesty in every countryside.”

In Jackson, the state capital, Mr. Rangel’s remarks were discussed on local television and talk radio, said David Hampton, who edits the editorial page at The Clarion-Ledger. “A lot of it was post-election Republicans saying the evil Democrats this and that and a-ha, we told you so,” he said. “Mississippi sort of has an inferiority complex.”

Mr. Hampton said he had received about a dozen letters to the editor and five comments on his editorial page blog, and some of it was genuine outrage. In a letter to the editor, Wendy Barthe Peavy of Biloxi wrote: “Congressman Rangel: As a proud Mississippian and resident of the Katrina-ravaged Gulf Coast, I would be happy to tell you ‘who the hell wants to live in Mississippi.’

“I will not waste your time with the litany of world-class writers, artists, athletes, entertainers, scientists, surgeons, astronauts, musicians, soldiers and statesmen who have called Mississippi home,” she wrote. “I will tell you of the 93,000 people still housed in FEMA trailers due to the loss of over 10,000 apartment units and over 150,000 homes to Hurricane Katrina.”

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Week

How can you tell if the new electronic voting machines have been tinkered with or not? Easy, if you vote for yourself and the machines still say you got zero votes. You know we’re making progress when we go from dangling chads to missing electrons in only six years.

Candidate Gets No Votes
WALDENBURG, Ark. - November 11, 2006, 4:55 PM EST

Randy Wooten figured he’d get at least one vote in his bid for mayor of this town of 80 people—even if it was just his own. He didn’t. Now he has to decide whether to file a formal protest.

Wooten got the news from his wife, Roxanne, who went to City Hall on Wednesday to see the election results. “She saw my name with zero votes by it. She came home and asked me if I had voted for myself or not. I told her I did,” said Wooten, owner of a local bar.

However, Poinsett County results reported Wednesday showed incumbent William H. Wood with 18 votes, challenger Ronnie Chatman with 18 votes and Wooten with zero. “I had at least eight or nine people who said they voted for me, so something is wrong with this picture,” Wooten said. Poinsett County Election Commissioner Junaway Payne said the issue had been discussed but no action taken yet.

“It’s our understanding from talking with the secretary of state’s office that a court order would have to be obtained in order to open the machine and check the totals,” Payne said. “The votes were cast on an electronic voting machine, but paper ballots were available.” A Nov. 28 runoff is scheduled to decide the mayor’s race.

“It’s just very hard to understand,” Wooten said.

Veterans Day Trivial Pursuit, Part I

Carefully examine the castle in the picture below. This magnificent building in a foreign country has special meaning for the US military. The battle to take this castle involved no less than four young Lieutenants who would later go on to become famous Generals in a later war.

Score yourself 10 points if you can guess what country this castle is in, 10 points if you can name this castle, 30 points if you can identify which branch of the US military is most closely associated with this castle (and why), and 50 points if you can name the four young Lieutenants who helped capture it.

Ready ... Set ... Go!

Veterans Day Trivial Pursuit, Part II

Carefully examine the picture of the ship’s deck below. Standing in the foreground is the Captain of this ship which was named after a US state. In fact, it was the first of a long line of Navy fighting ships to bear that name. The Captain of this ship was also part of the force that took the castle in today’s Trivial Pursuit Part I above (as a young ensign).

Score yourself 20 points if you can name the ship, 20 points if you can name the Captain, 30 points if you know where this ship was built and 30 points if you know where this mighty warship was eventually sunk (and by whom).

Ready ... Set ... GO!

Veterans Day Trivial Pursuit, Part III

OK, if the first two didn’t stump you here we go with an easy one. All you have to do is examine the US Army Division insignias below and name the Division they belong to. Score 25 points for each correct answer.

Ready ... Set ... GO!

The Best Of … YouTube

One of our readers here recently sent me an e-mail asking me what was my favorite YouTube video out of all the ones I’ve posted here. I had to think long and hard before coming to a decision and I finally decided I couldn’t pick just one.

I have three all-time favorites and I present them here to you to help cheer you all up on this beautiful Saturday. The first one will blow your mind, the second one will make you die laughing and the last one will bring a smile to your face, no matter how depressed or angry you are.

If none of them make you feel better, I guess I’ll have to trot out Goat On A Pole ....

Veteran’s Day

Today is Veteran’s Day, a day on which we honor those who served. The holiday originally began as Armistice Day, as a means of remembering the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 - at which time the guns fell silent in Europe and an uneasy peace descended over the wreckage and ruin left by the War To End All Wars. Fifteen million people had perished in the four short years of that conflict.

Since then our nation has paused on this day to honor those who served. I am leaving this as an open post for the veterans out there to recount any war stories they wish to share with us. Don’t be bashful. We are here to listen to you today.

As a veteran myself, all I can tell you is how damn hot it is in San Antonio, Texas in the summer and how damn cold it is in Minot, North Dakota in the winter. Fortunately, I never got shot at but I do recall peeing my pants the night one of our refueling crews accidentally blew up a B-52 (and six airmen) on the flight line at Minot AFB. Sssshhhhh. We’re trying to keep that one a secret ....

A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

Through the generations, America’s men and women in uniform have defeated tyrants, liberated continents, and set a standard of courage and idealism for the entire world. On Veterans Day, our Nation pays tribute to those who have proudly served in our Armed Forces.

To protect the Nation they love, our veterans stepped forward when America needed them most. In conflicts around the world, their sacrifice and resolve helped destroy the enemies of freedom and saved millions from oppression. In answering history’s call with honor, decency, and resolve, our veterans have shown the power of liberty and earned the respect and admiration of a grateful Nation.

All of America’s veterans have placed our Nation’s security before their own lives, creating a debt that we can never fully repay. Our veterans represent the best of America, and they deserve the best America can give them.

As we recall the service of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, we are reminded that the defense of freedom comes with great loss and sacrifice. This Veterans Day, we give thanks to those who have served freedom’s cause; we salute the members of our Armed Forces who are confronting our adversaries abroad; and we honor the men and women who left America’s shores but did not live to be thanked as veterans. They will always be remembered by our country.

With respect for and in recognition of the contributions our service men and women have made to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, the Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor veterans.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2006, as Veterans Day and urge all Americans to observe November 5 through November 11, 2006, as National Veterans Awareness Week. I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through ceremonies and prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to support and participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I invite civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, businesses, unions, and the media to support this national observance with commemorative expressions and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

Weekend Eye Candy

Have you guys had a rough week? I sure have. My team (Alabama Crimson Tide) is now 6-4 overall and 2-4 in the SEC after blowing it against Mississippi State last Saturday and losing 24-16. The really bad news is the Tide will be in Baton Rouge this Saturday night going up against LSU (#12). It ain’t looking good.

On top of that, after Tuesday’s election, the Angry Left and the Liberal Loons are now in charge in DC. Altogether, it has been a sorry week. But there’s good news. It’s Saturday again and time for a little Eye Candy to cheer us guys up. I figure if you’re as depressed as I am it will have to be special. It is.  Hidden under the fold here you will find Playboy’s Playmate Of The Year, Kara Monaco. This emerald eyed blonde is 22 years old and lives in Florida. I’ve gone over the pics with a magnifying glass and can’t find a blemish anywhere. I wonder ... does Hef clone these perfect creatures in a secret lab out behind the mansion? If so, it sure would explain a lot ....
