Breaking News, Massive Snow Storm Lands in my neighborhood

and of course, I have video:

and pictures too!

Yes, We were hit by a snow storm
Nothing we Michigan people cannot handle.. (well, some of us!)
Yes, that is as cold as it looks. Especially that WIND... Oy!
Snow Shovels and Fishing Poles --- You can obviously see where my Dad's priorities are at.
A sure sign of Certified Hillbilly, A box fan on a front page, In the middle of winter! 🙂
A left over from the days when I actually worked for a living. My Briefcase. It is a truckers dream. I put every damn thing in that briefcase. I miss those days of driving... 🙁
Dad's truck. My Car was down the street on the side road, Snow Emergency and tickets cost money
Ye old backyard, Cold and quite snowy...

Seriously Dan, is this the best you have?

The dude disagrees with Megan McCain and the best this moron can do is mock her damned weight? 😡

How fucking Juvenile can you be? 🙄

This is the same asshole, who offered up my IP address to anyone who wanted it; all because I said something about Obama, that he deemed racist. But the very next day publishes the very unfunny and quite racist “OSAMA-OBAMA’ moniker on his own damned blog. He removed it, after I said something about it. I wish I had screen capped it, but I didn’t.

This is the stupidity that I refer to in my Blog’s subtitle at the top.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Dan Riehl.

Ouch! FNC's Redeye tops CNN's Primetime lineup

(H/T Ace)

Man alive, talk about OWNAGE!

MSNBC’s David Shuster became a fan of Fox News’ late-night comedy/news hybrid Red Eye just in time for its three-year anniversary.

And it’s coming at a time when the 3amET show is seeing big ratings in the A25-54 demographic – even topping CNN prime time last week.

Just like when we highlighted the show’s ratings in September 2009 (which the FNC advertising department enjoyed as well, taking out full-page ads in the New York Post and others), the ratings for last week show Red Eye beating CNN again. This time, the show had better ratings in the A25-54 demographic than Campbell Brown at 8pmET and Larry King at 9pmET, and tied Anderson Cooper at 10pmET (Monday-Thursday).

Oof! That had to hurt.

For the Record, I agree with Megan McCain

  1. Sarah Palin’s calling out of Obama’s adviser and then defending of Rush Limbaugh is just plain hypocritical. Period, end of farking story.
  2. I agree with Megan’s comments on Tom Tencredo’s remarks. I’ve written about that here, here and here.

Although, I will say this; the liberal’s mocking of her is quite silly to watch, here’s an example: (H/T Pam G)

Although, I will say this. —- Pam, if you happen to read this; going after Ron Reagan, about his own dad like that was a bit classless. Let’s not play their game. They (being the liberals in general…) are idiots, we both know that. But doing what you did on there only makes us look bad. Let’s not stoke the talking points furnace no more than we absolutely have to. Okay? I admit, I am not much of a Palin fan, at all. But the left is making themselves look like morons for bashing her. Leave the bashing stuff for the liberals on Palin. Bashing someone because of who his daddy was, is just wrong. I can see why it pissed off Ron Reagan. I just wouldn’t have went there, that’s all. I’m just saying.

I doubt very highly that she would even read that, much less heed my advice. But I thought I’d mention it.

Another Update on Jim Treacher

This poor guy really has it bed. Thoughts are with him.

I’m typing this from a hospital bed, with an oxygen monitor on my finger that’s making it difficult to navigate the keyboard. I’m going to ask the nurse to move the monitor to one of my toes, because I can’t quite do it myself yet. My left leg is wrapped in bandages and locked into what they call an immobilizer, which is very aptly named. I can’t move anything from my hip to my ankle, nor do i want to. Everything in-between hurts because of the shattered tibia I suffered Wednesday night when I was crossing the street, within the crosswalk, with the light, and a State Department security officer named Mike McGuinn made an illegal left turn and ran right into me. This happened on 22nd and M, not 26th and M as specified on the jaywalking citation I was issued that same evening.

But this is supposed to be a medical status update, so let’s get back to that. I’m not clear on all the technical details, but during the surgery, basically they had to take all the broken pieces of bone and stick them together with some sort of bone paste. They shaped a new bone out of that. And then there’s a piece of metal attached to something somewhere, but again, I’ll have to get back to you on the details. Knee injuries can be pretty complex, I guess. So that’s on the outside of my knee. There’s still some weird stuff going on deeper inside, with torn cartilage and stuff, but I’m not exactly sure how that heals up. They’ve still got some more work to do. I’ll need to do some more reading on this sort of knee injury. I’m not a doctor. I just know it hurts like hell.

Just when you think you got it bad, you read stuff like this and you remember; life ain’t so bad after all.

Tea Party Candidates Target, Ron Paul?

I start this entry out with a very funny quote by AllahPundit:

I’m officially confused.

Heh! What else is new? I kid, I kid! Allah’s a good ol’ fellow, when he’s asleep. 😉 He would be an even BETTER fellow, if he would link to me, once in a stinkin’ while. But alas, I was placed on the blacklist over something that happened eons ago, back when I was on the wrong side of the political fence. All I will say about it is, I thought Catholic Churches taught the doctrine of forgiveness? So much for that, I suppose. 🙄 It amazes me, that those who toot their horns the loudest about being Christians, and decry the immorality of the Liberals; are the ones who act like it the least. Just sayin’ AP, Just saying. (I’m saying all this, because I know damned well he reads the trackback links. I also know he knows what I am referring to, as does Ed…. and besides, traffic’s low around here, I need to start something! 😉 )

Anyhow, Filipino Conservative political hacks aside; ( 😯 )  I am referring to this story in the Dallas Morning News, that has some telling news about the Ron Paul’s chances of getting reelected in light of the Tea Party Movement:

Paul, the Gulf Coast congressman whose 2008 presidential run excited libertarians nationwide, even though he didn’t get much traction overall, is considered by many to be the “father of the Tea Parties.” But he has three opponents in the March Republican primary – more than he has faced in his past six primary campaigns combined…

John Gay, Paul’s third opponent, said he has attended several Tea Parties and related meetings. Both Wall, a machine supervisor, and Graney, a former small-business owner, have helped organize local rallies.

Tea Party associations aside, many of the challengers’ criticisms echo concerns of Paul’s past opponents: that he is too focused on his national ambitions; that his views are too extreme; that he doesn’t support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; that he votes “no” on everything, including federal aid for his district after Hurricane Ike.

“The word I keep hearing is ‘ineffective,’ ” said Gay, a school business administrator. “This district is not really being represented as it could be.”

AllahPundit does not understand why they’re targeting him. Well, It could be that Paul voted against Hurricane assistance after Ike hit down there in Taxes.

A couple of other things come to mind as well. First off, I believe people in his district and elsewhere are just sick and tired of his political grandstanding. Ron Paul just tends to say no; for the sake of saying no. Which is not exactly representing the people of his district. Also two, I believe of his district are just not happy with his stance on the war on terror. Paul and his Paleo-Conservative ilk are one’s who side with the left, that mostly believes that America itself is the result of terrorism and that, I am very sorry to say, is an asinine charge of the highest order. Al-Qaeda has a long standing beef with us, because of our support of Israel. Something that the Paleo-Conservative right hates, because a good ninety-nine percent of them are antisemitic. Not to mention racist. This is why the “Taft Wing” of the Republican Party was called out by people like William F. Buckley Jr. and most of them were either sidelined or changed their views.

I said this in the comments section over at R.S. McCain’s Blog and I will write it here. If Tom Tencredo’s screed against Blacks, Jews and other minorities is going to be co-oped by the Tea Parties and also by the G.O.P.; you can count me among the people that will not be voting for any Republicans come 2012. I voted Libertarian in 2008 and I can, and well again, if need be.  I would think that seeing there is a Black Man as the chairman of the G.O.P., that the Republican Party would take a hardcore stance against such stuff. But then again, Michael Steel is the chairman. If you know what I mean, and I think you do!

Anyhow, Paul district election should be quite interesting, and it is a sign of things to come here in November! I just cannot wait, because I just know there is going to be some major upsets come November.
