Lets Get Ready To....

Forgive my blasphemy at the altar of San Pedro, but as the old saying goes "you'd rather have the pitcher you know than the pitcher you don't." Obviously Id prefer to have a healthy Petey take the mound as the Fly and I are working on a full count of three beers two dogs for Game 1, but it ain't gonna happen.

Now that the question mark (was there really ever one) is gone, lets play some ball. To paraphrase the great American Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld....

"You go to war with the team you have, not the team you want"

...and lets not forget that the current Mets team that's heading into the post season is the same Mets that ran roughshod over the National League all year whooping ass from coast to coast burning suckers like a donkey burns toast.

Let me get a Ric Flair....

Auroran Idol

The great librarian trooper door Donsky has agreed to write a theme song for the Aurora. Hes asked us our opinions, and I gave them to him. Only problem is I aint even a real Indian man, although I am a Auroran, I am not The Aurora. I take back all Ive suggested (keep the Jerry Reed). Unless the song is in the bag, I invite all suggestions from our three (including McTrixie...27)readers. If Donsky agrees, I abide to let the people speak. Your vote counts. Winning idea (and there are no losers in Auroraville)...Donsky writes..I rock on the front page. Simple as that.

Extra Big Headline With Sugar On Top

Merit has become just a B actor in a piss poor HBO movie. Or is it Tom Skerrit that Im thinking bout. Regardless the point remains (he was excellent in the first Poison Ivy, but not nearly as awesome as a young slutty Drew Barrymore). Take for example the two most recent major motion picture news stories, the leaked Pentagon papers and former President Clinton's staged blow-up.

IRAQ WAR CREATES TERRORISTS

....Well thats no good. Nobody likes terrorists. If thats the case, then all we have to do is retreat from Iraq, right? Then and only then will the bad guys love us. If the headlines are true then it must be so...

IRAQ WAR CREATES TERRORISTS

Problem is that aint all of it. Not the whole picture show.

CLINTON DEFENDS HIS FOREIGN POLICY ON FOX

...Well its about time what did he say? Not much, got angry bout a whole lotta smirking nothing, but he defended his foreign policy. He had one? Not really. Did he defend it? Not really.

CLINTON DEFENDS HIS FOREIGN POLICY ON FOX

Problem is thats none of it.

They Just Dont Get It

Theres an illegally leaked study on the Iraqi War that the dems are throwing around these days.

EXTRA! EXTRA!

The war in Iraq is making the world less safe the town criers cry. Apparently, it also states that during a war that our enemy's recruitment spikes upwards, more so than even during peace time. You dont say. Yeah well there are a few definite characteristics of war and those are two of them...increased hostilities and increased enemy combatants. Brilliant!

This just in...

Flip Flop Power

Looks like weve been hoodwinked again. Damn that guy is good. How many people watched the actual Clinton interview with Chris Wallace over the weekend, few hundred thousand maybe? The guy acted like a crazed madman. How many have read the headlines? Everybody. Of which half think he's a hero. Mathematically, he wins.

It's not the first or last time the Clintons will try to re-write history before our eyes.

Are You Ready For Some Donkey

A few donkservations about tonights MNF. I like the new broadcast team. They were a little too self serving and preachy for my taste regarding Katrina, but I suppose that was to be expected with such an emotional game. The good of the works should be enough, noone is really impressed that you took a tour of the Eighth Ward (the only area ever affected by a natural disaster in this country ever) or cut a check to the Red Cross so stop trying to be big shots. I got a friend that packed his car and drove to N'Awlins within days to help and didnt say a word of it then and barely a peep now, but I rant...back to the booth Suzy. (I wanna kiss ya Suzy)

They aint bad. Its always a pleasure to watch Joe Theisman, who I think is a major tool, but watching him brings back fond memories of LT breaking his leg, which makes Donkey happy. Kornheiser is a smart ass know-it-all Jew, and I like it. Those are the same traits that I look for in an accountant, attorney or drinking buddy for trivia pub night. Mike Tirico is the glue that'll hold it all together, a knowledgeable even keeled guy that will provide a good balance. Im a big fan. (cue: Springsteen). Ive been a big fan of Tirico since he called a Lacrosse Game Of The Week upstate (he was a recent SU grad and worked at a local station) that I played in a hundred years ago and he interviewed me afterwards and presented me with Player Of The Game. Glory days well they'll pass you by. Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye. Glory days, glory days. Ok I think Ill head down to the pub now for a few... be back after a six pack.

Great performance by Green Day and U2. Two bands that allow an old ass like me to get away with that cross between a record store clerk and your curmudgeonly grandfather attitude. "I remember those guys back in the day when they used to play at Filthy McDrunkards for beer nuts and we had to walk through a blizzard blindfolded backwards and uphill to see them". It gives you a chance to feel a little bit rock-n-roll, but at the same time be comfortable with being a sell-out. "Its my little way of sticking it to the man. But you are the man. I know. So youre sticking it to yourself? Maybe."

Its painful to watch yet another young innovative coach in the NFL that used to work for the Giants. Im a Sean Payton fan and I wish him luck with the Saints. I'll save my Fire Coughlin rant for after the bye week.

Michael Vick just aint a good Quarterback. Simple as that.

Big ups to Spike Lee for taking the high road when asked about Katrina. He got his message across by saying he "wasnt gonna pull a Kanye" without explicitly bashing the President. But predicting Isiah as "NBA Coach of the Year" is a bit of a stretch

Congratulations to the Saints and their fans on a big homecoming win. To those that say sports arent important and in the grand scheme of things dont really matter, well maybe youre right but Im throwing the hogwash flag anyways. For me personally, watching Piazza hit that monster dinger on 9/21/01 at Shea was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. It allowed me and millions of others to cheer for something, to feel joy, to come together in the moment with other New Yorkers and be proud. It didnt bring our brothers and sisters back or rebuild the Twin Towers, but for an instant the pain was gone and it felt good. Likewise a football game wont erase the tragedy of Katrina or make the levees stronger, but for a few hours maybe it allowed them a respite from the shitstorm.

Lets Go Saints! (until 12/24..then y'all can go F yourselves)

Crazy Live On FOX

I guess after his recent sitdown with the hard hitting journalist Keith Olbermann and his thought provoking questions such as "Mr President. How does it feel being awesome?" Clinton wasnt prepared for a real interview. In a way its surprising, considering that the one thing that could always be said of Clinton even by his detractors was that he is a master politician and not easily treated like a James Bond martini. But DANG SON! You done flipped out and gone off the deep end.

Asking Clinton about his response or in this case his lack thereof against terrorist attacks on our country and our interests is as valid a question as the ones asked by those who now oppose the manner in which President George W Bush is conducting the war on terror. You would think that by now Clinton would have some sort of an answer.

but this was just ridonkulous....

All the old standards are back. The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, Rupert Murdoch, Fox News, and Karl Rove. But my favorites are the soon to be classic "We didnt even know Al-Qaeda existed" , "I have never criticized the current President" and "Read the book!". This is a man unhinged. A man with a guilty conscience. Me thinketh Bubba doth protest too much. He has more excuses than a cheating husband caught with lipstick on his dipstick. You could say that the ex-Emperor has been caught without his clothes (and there isnt even an intern around)

Note to liberals: Just let this one go. I know its in your blood, the need to defend Clinton, but trust me let this one go. No matter how many "Bubba doesnt take any crap" and "boy did he really tell that smirking thing Wallace off" rebuttals you attempt will not change the fact that your boy went loco. And this should also answer your charge as to why Republicans wont let Clinton go. BECAUSE HE WONT LET US. Trust me when I say this, nothing would give us greater pleasure than to let him disappear into the obscurity of history, but the guy just cant keep his mouth shut. Someone give the guy a "legacy" already so we dont have to put up with his Vision Quest to find one. Yeah, well the problem is...I aint even Indian man!

Bill Clinton Blames Others For 911


...and in case you missed it. For those that were around during the Clinton years and are unfamiliar with his foreign policy...apparently its all summed up in Richard Clarke's book. Just read the book. Its in the book. Have you read the book. The book shall be Clinton's vindication. Or will it?

They will protect us..... Really?

Must Read

I highly recommend that everyone read the latest post at Whisper of Madness. I'm a big fan.

Members Only

Falling into the WHAT THE F category is Brian Williams interview with Iranian President Ahmadinejad. I'll get to that in a minute.

Looks like the left has a new cause celebre. I can see it now, Che and Mao shirts are so last year...its all about Mahmoud now. I will say this much, it was an absolutely masterful political performance on his part (considering that in all likelihood hes insane) playing the role of victim. Only problem was that it was a load of crap, but that shouldnt stop the dems from adopting his talking points.

Back to Williams, who in my opinion seems fair enough for a network anchor with a respectable journalistic background. Ok lets call it like it is, hes a Telefunken-U47 teleprompter reading monkey. That being said, he seems like a decent enough guy. But boy did he drop the ball with Mahmoud (seriously whats with the kowtowing fluff pieces on potential enemies of the state...whats next Oprah's couch?).

begin flashback

Murrow: Youve just invaded Poland and the world is united in the demand for an immediate withdrawal.

Hitler: Did you hear the one about the Polish hockey team?

Murrow: No, but lets get back to the point at hand. I hear youre a big ballroom dancing fan.

Hitler: Yes that is true, we are a waltzing people. Some would say waltz crazy, so much that we are always looking for dance partners. We hear the French are light on their feet, perhaps we will waltz on over there next.

Murrow: Thats fantastic. But seriously...how do the frauleins really feel about your stache?

end flashback

So Williams asks him if Iraq is interested in obtainting nuclear weaponry and nails Mahmoud on his response that if they were in fact not interested in weapons that kill people why bother maintaining a long range missile arsenal. Good question. Then he lets him slide. What up with that Bri-guy? Just as my blood is about to boil (78.3C) during his next softball question about the Pope controversy, what I hear next befuddles me (and Im not easily befuddled)...

BW: Mr. President, this is not a matter of great concern, this next question, but we have gotten used to seeing you in the tan jacket with the zipper. Today, you are dressed differently. Is that jacket a symbol of your standing or upbringing in Iran?

So let me get this right...

*The threat of a nuclear Iran
*Calls for jihad against the Pope
*Is that a bugle boy jacket youre wearing?

As I said in the beginning...WHAT THE F?

Ding Dong The Biotches Are Dead

Congrats to the New York Mets on clinching the Nati'l League East Monday night. Its been too god damn long, but it has been one helluva great season so far. One could even say that it finally made the $7 beers, $6 dogs and $4 peanuts pricetag easier to swallow, heck even the 7 seemed downright pleasant looking back, ok lets not get crazy...would it frickin kill the city to run express trains on weekends. Now lets keep your eyes on the prize and continue playin Mets baseball.

LETS GO METS!!! LETS GO METS!!!

SUCK IT ATLANTA BRAVES

And now for some shameless self promotion. If you notice on the Post's Front Page that D Wright is smoking a cigar. Now it has been widely reported that El Duque was handing them out to the team, leading one to believe that they might be cubanos. WRONG! Our crack team of investigative craic heads have discovered that they were Dominican and that Jose Reyes was the source. It was also revealed that Jose is a long time reader first time caller of The Aurora, big fan...youre great American, so much so that he only smokes one brand of cigar....like a true blue and orange Met he rocks La Aurora Preferido made "by Don(key) Eduardo Leon Jimenes Celebrating The Opening Of The La Aurora Factory D.R. in 1903!"

Thats right folks...

La Aurora, the official celebratory cigar of The New York Mets.

Baby Let Me Shut Your Box

We here at The Aurora take great pride in the fact you, our faithful readers have made us the #1 site on the web for cutting edge commentary on current events. We thank you for your support and patronage and we pledge to continue our usual insightfully irreverent scathing investigative reporting (well either that or we'll just continue to gripe about what we read on Drudge)

However we refuse to be camel-toed as being just pseudo-serious journalists without a lighter side. As they say "all work and no play makes Jack want to kill his wife and son in a deserted snowbound hotel" so as promised we present to you a new parlour game section here at The Aurora titled... Donkey's Giant Hanging Fuzzy Dice (from the rearview mirror of your soul) Of The Week

Without further ado (gesundheit) we present you with THE BOX.

The first time I played this game was at the home of miladyfriend's friend with a few other couples, and a blast was had by all (the eight bottles of Chilean red might have had something to do with it). I bought the game the next day and have since bought three or four more(some as presents and some to replace my original after gifting them to guests) and like AXP I never leave home without it. I know what youre thinking, its just a box (hey I happen to like box) how is this going to change the face of parlour gamery as we in the civilized world now know it. Well Im glad you asked.

The genius lies in its simplicity. Its a box with nine numbered tiles and a set of wooden dice. You roll the dice and lay down any combination of tiles that match your roll, you continue rolling until you can no longer lay down any more tiles. If you can no longer lay down any tiles, the remaining tiles are your score, for example the above picture, the score is 13,689. The lower the score the better. Once you get to a point where the tiles add up to six or less, you only roll one die. Now heres the reason were all here. If you lay down all of the tiles, then you SHUT THE BOX (thats the name of the game) How you shut it is entirely up to you. Some people are gentle when they do it and some like to get rough and slam the box, but trust me when I say this...you will make much excitement when you do it (aint as easy as it looks)

Now for the good stuff, its origins are as a gambling game for pirates, seamen and other seafaring folk of the ports. As such, its preferred to play for money. The money must be placed within the box. A buck will do, but a fiver is my preferred denomination. Low score wins, and if you SHUT THE BOX then everyone pays you double. Being the degenerate that I am I have added a few craps inspired side bets. If someone does SHUT THE BOX with a hard way roll they win triple the original bet and if they SHUT THE BOX with a yo eleven (once once once) its triple plus one.

Thats pretty much it. The sexual innuendos are up to you (vulgarity is scored higher than creativity), but it definitely adds some spice to a social gathering when a normally reserved woman is screaming that she wants a hard eight (or ten or twelve) to slam the box.

Walk dont run to your nearest wooden pirate game retailer and buy this game.

EE-Aw!

Why Blow Up My Spot Cuz We Both Got Hot

General Lee speaking its never a good idea to make broad generalizations. Like for instance if I were to say that all Irishfolk are shanemacgowanish drunks. I could even quote a very old traditional Irish folk song to back up my theory.

"I've been a wild rover for many a year, And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer"And it's No, Nay, never, UP YOUR BROWN EYE No, nay never no more

Studies could very well prove me wrong, you may even work with or know a paddy or colleen who no more abuses the bottle than a liverless mormon schoolmarm, but if in response to my statement, the Irish masses took to the pubs downing copious quantities of Smithwicks and stout (chased with whiskey of course) got in their finest Notre Dame fightin' Irish boxing leprechaun pose and started violent donnybrooks, well it'd be very hard for you to argue my point that all micks are licks, right? But, more importantly where would your outrage be directed? ...at my statement or at the resulting affirming actions?

The fact is that the Muslim faith is historically steeped in violence (as is the Irish in their drunkenness, see: Kennedys). The Quran says so, but then again so does the Judeo-Christian bible, you know the whole eye for an eye and fire and brimstone stuff. Hell, even Shaolin monks have been known to throw down an ass-whooping now and again. Most religions were formed in more barbaric times where might equaled right, thats just the way it was. Unfortunately some zealots never evolved or adapted to the more civilized times that we now live in. Where is the public condemnation from the Muslim community at the murder of an Italian nun in Somalia, the fire bombings of Christian churches in Palestine or even how bout the standard beheadings of infidels. They seem to me to be more concerned with the ill advised but accurate words of a man in a funny hat than they do the resulting hate filled actions of extremists within their group that gives the rest of the "religion of peace" a bad name.

...and now some donkey advice for the Popa (big ups). Never apologize to a bully. Anyone thats ever been in rowdy bar knows damn well you never say sorry to the guy in the guinea t that bumped into you. He (and his four or five buddies hiding in the wings) were looking for an easy mark and soon as you gave way he found one. Fisticuffs almost always immediately ensue thereafter. Bullies see this as a sign of weakness. Usually I would suggest you tell them to watch where theyre fucking going next time(the F word is very important here, as it shows you mean business) but since you already pussed out theres only one thing left to do....grab a barstool and start swinging like the Big Popa that you are...throw your fists in the air, if yous a true playa.

Tails Never Fails

HUGE comeback by the G-Men today. Always nice to beat an NFC team, even better when its a division game, but especially when we put it in da mouf of those chumps down off the turnpike (Philadelphia is in Jersey right?)

A couple things. Run the no-huddle more often (Eli flourished with it last year) get Shockey the frickin ball more often and enough with the false starts. For such a renowned disciplinarian like Coughlin to helm the third most penalized team (after Arizona and Oakland) is a disgrace and maybe just maybe tells you that the whole "you better wear your socks the way I say so" routine aint workin.

...and another thing. I used to drink in this real shit hole (something about a junkyard or landfill or something) the name of which escapes me in the shit town of Solvay but they had a thing called flip night. You call the toss correct your drink is free, wrong and its double...the thinking is that it all evens out eventually, well not for me. I paid the electricity bill for that dump for years. Now Ive always considered myself incredibly lucky, its almost obnoxious actually. Im the guy that always wins the office pool, that busts the casino (my last 10k donation to the Palms notwithstanding) gets the hottest chick at the bar (ok that aint called luck, I think the scientific term is Roofus Nalproxen) etc , but Im telling ya I cant call a coin flip if my life depended on it. Like Tiki correctly called today in overtime, I always calls tails never fails...thinking Ill be right 50/50, as McG would say...WRONG!!! Good thing I hung up my coin calling cleats a long long time ago. Its all bout dice nowadays anyways. Stay tuned for the Donkeys post about the new home gambling dice game that is about to sweep the nation.

EE-Aw!

Good on ye BIG BLUE...Bring on the Grunge City Bitch Birds.

Quickies

Ive recently begun to question my own mortality as I advance in age and the remnants of a once golden brown domeage is replaced with that of Confederate gray. And Ive been thinking that when it is my time to go I would like to die as my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.*

Ok Ill acknolwedge that George Clooney is a face jock, but five days in the Sudan and suddenly hes a expert on Darfur worthy of addressing the UN? Actually I stand corrected, considering the joke that the UN has become, hes more than qualified.

Once again Muslim (the religion of peace) extremists react to accusations that they have violent tendencies by what else... rioting. Good rebuttal jackasses, Im convinced.

Petey returns to the mound tonight as the Amazins look to clinch the NL East. Lets Go METS!

American? I don't think so.....

I wonder how anyone who claims to be American or to love their country could support such a group as the aclu? They have done more to hurt our great nation than any other organization that has ever existed.


Legal Tyranny: Always taking the side of America's enemies, the radical lawyers of the ACLU have their tentacles everywhere. If Americans let them, they'll destroy our moral fabric and make us vulnerable to terrorists.
The most indefensible acts of the American Civil Liberties Union are widely known — like its defending the North American Man-Boy Love Association against a $200 million civil lawsuit or its yearning for male homosexual scoutmasters.
Its more outlandish positions are infamous — like contending that the distribution of child porn, once produced, is protected by the Constitution, while metal detectors that catch terrorists are unconstitutional. But too few Americans realize how far and wide this dangerous organization's misdeeds reach.
Most notoriously, a left-leaning federal judge in Detroit who serves on the board of a foundation that gave $45,000 to the state chapter of the ACLU gave the group its way last month and ruled against the National Security Agency's program tracking suspected terrorist communications, an opinion sure to be overruled.
Here's an incomplete list of other recent ACLU activity: HERE

Rewriting History

If you wonder why it took 50 years to get the truth about Joe McCarthy, consider the fanatical campaign of the Clinton acolytes to kill an ABC movie that relies on the 9/11 Commission Report, which whitewashed only 90 percent of Clinton's cowardice and incompetence in the face of terrorism, rather than 100 percent.

Priorities

I was tempted to do this post via audioblogger so our readers could experience the full Boratic effect of my impressive impersonations. Trust me, it sa guud, but in the interest of public safety, management fears it might cause a frenzy amongst our female readers after hearing my Marlboro and Tullamore Dew induced white mans Barry White lyrical swords.

Seriously George get your shit together. I mean come on first you blow off the head of the UAW, I know Im with you on the fact that yes unions are a bad, but come on Clay Aiken..what up with that? Not sure if you noticed but the big three are having some difficulties and aint so big anymore, in fact theyre down to a deuce...what the? You may want to attend to that as opposed to your apparent appeasement of the Claynation.

As far as the President of Kazakh is concerned with the mockery of his stan at the hands of comic genius Sacha Cohen, heres some good ol fashioned donkey wisdom...

GET OVER IT

Its a frickin goof. Theyre showing films of you being assassinated in Toronto and this guy is worried about a brit in a wig making fun of Kazakh gypsies (Ive worked with gypsies, trust me..theyre funny) and the jew claw. Listen, we appreciate their loyal alliance in the War on Terror, but tell em to lighten up. Most people didnt even know Kazakhstan existed, and now theyre about to be the focus of major motion picture. If I were them Id have their womanfolk get to work on Boratland asap, sit back and watch their tourism economy boom.

And thats that

Will The Real Conservative Please Stand Up

Can someone please tell me why John McCain is considered a frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nomination again? I mean besides the fact that hes John McCain?

Is this what our political process has come to, a celebrified popularity contest based on name recognition. In the simplest of terms, the guy is a tool, and no offense to my fellow Auroran but hes a rino, as is Rudy (if youre liberal on social issues but "tough on crime"...youre a liberal) who I loved as Mayor but couldnt possibly conceive voting for him for President. Ok unlike a landwar with China, maybe its conceivable but Im not too sure how'd I feel about Rudy having his finger on the button...I can see it now, youre backed up in traffic and some domicillically challenged entrepreneur is giving your windshield a spitshine and BAM, a tactical nuke strike takes out the block.

I guess I can always vote Buchanan with an absentee ballot from my Palm Springs address again.


* In no way shape or form am I calling Rudy "smoke em if ya got em" Giuliani a liberal, but rather was making a social commentary on the pusillanimous nature of the Republican Party unwilling to take tough conservative stances or endorse strong conservative candidates. The New York Republicans are a joke. It was a waste of my time to go to the polls today. If we cant beat Clinton (ok we cant beat her) Spitzer or Cuomo then we should be taken out back and shot.

Quote

Because you here the last line so often, and it is used to imply all kinds of different things, but it was a call to arms, a call to war. Most people have never read the whole thing. Where are the Patrick Henry's of our generation? Certainly it's not Murtha, or Kerry! It's not Mccain or Clinton!

It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

The war has begun! We must win if we are to survive. Read the whole speech HERE

Books Wouldnt Be Made With Paper If They Werent Meant To Be Burned

Now this 9/11 mini-series controversey is getting crazy. Its a frickin movie and probably a bad one that nobody wouldve watched before this at that. The Dems must not be as confident about November as they were letting on. Why the panic? Why the hysteria? Because they are worried people will remember that they didnt have a plan to combat terrorism than just as they dont now.

But thats not the point...

These are very dangerous whitewaters we are treading on. Do we really want a political party dictating what can be aired over public airwaves. Arent these the same dems that get all indignant and cry free speech from the towers when the religious right get all prudish about tv. Theres alot more offensive programming on tv than this. Wheres the outrage over Commander in Chief, think of that, a woman President like thats accurate (oh its been cancelled...nevermind) With all they hype surrounding this series the concern that people will be misinformed is misguided, if viewers havent heard about the controversy by now then they probaly wont watch the movie either. No problem then. Now move on.

Eliot Spitzer Hates Sick People

Hospitals? Hmm. I may not be gubernatorial material (not yet at least) but I could think of a few better places to make cuts. Stay tuned for my run in 2010 for details (Ill give you a hint it involves tree sniffing police dogs)

Earlier on Thursday, at a stop here, he said that the health care system would be a main target for spending cuts, in part because Medicaid is the largest single part of the budget. He said he would not only seek to close hospitals, building on the work of a state hospital closing commission that is expected to issue a final report in November, but he would also seek to overhaul the system that requires the state to reimburse hospitals for care given to uninsured patients.

“We’re going to take the tough medicine,” he said at a campaign stop in this Syracuse suburb, adding: “I’m saying to folks this isn’t all milk and honey. These are going to be tough decisions. Nobody likes to hear that a hospital is going to close, or a wing of a hospital, or beds are going to be shifted, but that is what we have to do.”

Moron Of The Week

What kind of frickin idjit breaks out of prison with FOUR DAYS left on his sentence. Well a big one thats for sure, but an even bigger one shoots four NY State Troopers, killing one (in his defense they probably were acting like dicks). Congratulations Mr Ralph "Bucky" Phillips on making the deal of the century, trading in four days for four consecutive life sentences. Make sure to bring a few extra Run Bucky Run t shirts, as Im sure youll be a big hit at Karaoke State Prison. Enjoy the 15 minutes jackass, I hope it was worth it.

Condoloences to Trooper Joseph Longobardo's family.

Donkey Goes To Hollywood

The story of 911 should not be treated like a Stephen King novel adapted for the big screen with some director taking artistic liberties with the truth. In this regard I agree with why Clinton is upset, although I vehementos disagree with his call for the censorship of this movie.

Television has power, power of persuasion. Theres a reason that Vietnam is known as Nixon's war and that Sen Joe McCarthy is vilified as some sort of Salemic witch hunter and not the hero that he was. Im not saying film or television are the main reason for this, that is primarily the fault of our failed liberal educational system. But whats good for the Bush is good for the Bubba, and I will defend the hillbilly in this matter.

There is no argument that the Clinton foreign policy was a disaster and they were asleep at wheel time and time again by continually allowing attacks on US interests to go unpunished.

But...

911 was not Bill Clintons fault. I can not stress this point any stronger.

THE TERRORISTS WERE RESPONSIBLE.

It was Clintons fault no more than it was Bush's fault.

IT WAS THE TERRORISTS FAULT.

End of discussion.

Now the 911 commission whitewater wash is another matter. Berger committed treason by stealing and destroying classified documents that may or may not have shed some light on how the most advanced nation in the history of mankind allowed a dozen camel bangers to inflict so much damage on US soil.

The truth is too important and already damning enough for some hollywood hack to take artistic license. The Donkey decrees that although censorship is not an option at the very least those involved should be arrested for DWI, directing while ignorant.

The Great One Had it Right!

No I'm not talking about Gretzky, I'm talking about Mark Levin. He had this Plame/Wilson/Libby/Rove thing right from the start. If you've never listened to his show, you don't know what you're missing.

A Sham of an Investigation08/28 11:21 AM
The more I think about this Fitzgerald investigation, the more astonished I become. Richard Armitage was Bob Novak's "source" — i.e., he identified Valerie Plame — which, incidentally, is clearly not a crime and Armitage has not been charged with any offense. And prosecutors knew Armitage was the "source" almost immediately after beginning their investigation because Armitage confessed. Indeed, when he thought he may have done something wrong, he appears to have cried on many shoulders. Armitage told his boss, Colin Powell, that he was the source, as well as other State Department and Justice Department officials. He told the Special Counsel's people. And not one of them — Armitage, Powell, Patrick Fitzgerald, et al. — had the guts or integrity to tell the public that the original source was Armitage.

Spitzer Is A Criminal

Little guys fly coach, but apparently little guy defenders dont. Ive said it before and Ill say it again...Eliot Spitzer is a prototypical scumbag opportunistic politician in the Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson mold.

Jeff Goldblum Day

Today (or maybe its tommorrow or was it yesterday) is the Fly's birthday (I think hes somewhere in the 27 - 40 range not too sure). So in honor of such a joyous occasion, I shall grace him with my presence at his abode and in a celebratory like manner drink all his beer eat his food (I of course will be supplying the Bing Crosby albums) and sexually harass his wife. What can I say, Im a good friend like that.

Now for shameless plug time. For all you baseball fans you should check out his blog for an interesting take on New York baseball rivalry. Ch CH CH-eck it out here yo.

PUSA

Apparently today is National Impeach President George Bush day in the liberal blogosphere. I will say this with all sincerity...liberals are petty vindictive fantasy land living anti-American biotches. "Bush lied People Died" liberals cry...cute but ignorantly naive. "But it was just a blow job" liberals defend...I agree no big deal, Clinton shouldnt have lied about it then, he probably would be King by now if he didnt.

Bush has been a piss poor President in almost every regard except one (ok maybe two Meiers aside some good judges), and its a pretty big one...the War on Terror, oh yeah hippies its real, its here, and it was broughten to us. By calling for the impeachment of President George Walker Bush, what you are really calling for is the surrender to terrorism, thats right I said, the terrorists win if you impeach Bush. More importantly, this isnt about one man, what liberals are saying is that we dont have the right to defend ourself as a nation any longer because wars are icky. Frickin political amateurs, they make me sick, and when I say they hate America, it aint no disco it aint no party it aint some empty catchphrase poliwagging, its because it is so. They hate America. They know it, I know it , but worse for America, the bad guys schtooping sheep in some cave know it.

Enough of me ranting. Im a team player, so in a show of unity with my fellow bloggers I would like reprint something from The Presidents Of The United States of America.

PEACHES

Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches

Movin' to the country, Gonna eat me a lot of peaches

Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches

Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches

Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man

In a factory downtown

If I had my little way, I'd eat peaches every day

Sun-soakin' bulges in the shade

Take a little naps where the roots all twist

Squished a rotten peach in my fist

And dreamed about you, woman,

I poked my finger down inside

Make a little room for it to hide

Nature's candy in my hand or can or a pie

Millions of peaches, peaches for me

Millions of peaches, peaches for free

Look out!

Those Who Do Not Learn From History...

Speaking before the American Legion convention this week, the secretary of defense aptly dared to compare the voices of today's critics of the war on terror and our policies toward Iran and North Korea with the sentiment that took root in the 1930s. To wit: "If only the growing threats that had begun to emerge in Europe and Asia could be appeased," a repeat of World War I could be avoided.

Where have i heard this argument recently? Who has been saying we need to talk, or let sanctions work?.......... Maybe it was the doomed crowd....... yeah i think that's it......
