Fox Poll: Shut up, Babs.

Latest Fox News “You Decide” poll (non-scientific of course) on the website shows 85% say Babs knows nothing and should shut up, 15% say she’s just exercising her right of free speech.
I wonder if the 15% would pay for me to rebut her on national television?
Just thinkin’ out loud. But then, I don’t get a national audience to think out loud.

And while we’re on the subject…

Fuck Teddy Kennedy.
Go away, you miserable ass. The only reason you’re still around is because you got out of a murder rap and because you aren’t worth the powder to blow you to hell. You give the “world’s greatest deliberative body” quite the reputation, along with Kleagle Byrd and the Senator from Disney, Fritz Hollings. Not to mention that lapdog who thinks he’s a Doberman, Daschle.

This is a bad thing?

Nicholas Confessore says that Democrats are a single seat away from disaster, disaster in his mind being total Republican control of the Federal government for two years for the first time since 1929 (including the Supreme Court).
Nick, don’t you get it? This would be a good thing. And for all the reasons you give in your heartfelt piece, including “bankrupting” the Federal government, which sticks its nose in way too many places it isn’t wanted or needed to begin with.
He ends up with this pithy bit: “If the country wakes up on November 6 with a Republican House and Senate, the Democrats may spend the next 20 years wondering why they didn’t.”
Nick, buddy, the Dems are going to lose the election, because they don’t understand that the people in the red states believe in strong defense and a clear national security stance, without which all these domestic issues seem somewhat silly — and because the people in the blue states are starting to come to that conclusion, too. Domestic affairs take a back seat to the possibility of a nuke popping off in New York Harbor or out there under the 14th Street Bridge on the Potomac. I don’t know about you, but I really can’t see how putting more money into education or welfare will keep NYC or DC from being burned to a crisp if Saddam manages to get a working nuke aboard some nondescript Liberian-flagged freighter.
After we bust Saddam’s chops, there will be plenty of time and money for all your pet liberal folderol. Not until.

Great speech, Zell…

…on the Homeland Security bill.
But you could solve the whole damned problem if you’d SWITCH PARTIES. Take the power out of Daschle’s hands and give it back to Trent Lott. Immediately many things would become simple.
You don’t belong on the left side of the aisle. You belong on the right, you know it, and you know it would be the right thing to do, particularly after the Jeffords treachery.
I’ve admired you for some time but frankly the longer you persist in keeping that asshole Daschle in charge, the more you piss me off.

Gunnery, by Colt!

Well, the two Rachels — the Doctrinaire one and the Queen of Rants — have posted pictures of their guns, and it seems to be a popular blog thing, so I’ve decided to let y’all know that I do indeed have a working weapon.

Unfortunately I inherited this little beauty from my father in January. I wish he was still around to fire it himself. If he were, I’d probably have that Glock 9mm I was drooling over last year.
I guess I can live with an 7-shot clip. Got two of them.

Lefty Democrats? Who cares what they have to say?

It occurs to me that the lefty Dems are against the suppression of Goddamn Insane for one reason and one reason only: If Bush successfully suppresses the Butcher, the Dems lose the House, the Senate, and the White House for at least the next decade.
I can’t imagine any other reason for the panic on the left at this point. They’ll try to stop Bush any way they can because they know his success is their loss. Even if their success means Saddam gets the Bomb. Nothing counts anymore for the left but their own personal victory. The rest of the country can go hang for all they care; if Bush provided video proof that Saddam was buggering little boys, they’d likely excuse it on the grounds of lifestyle enablement or some other lefty-mouth idiocy.
The left is losing, if in fact it hasn’t already lost. It no longer has any moral authority.

Celebrities? Who cares what they have to say?

Rachel went off on Babs Streisand this morning and, while I completely agree with what she had to say about the worthless bitch, I don’t think she took it far enough. It doesn’t end with Babs, the entire celebrity establishment needs to be taken on.
I see that Fox News is running a segment (oh, it just ended) talking about what celebrities have to say about the war. But, Fox, as much as I love you and lust in my heart for Linda Vester,
WHO CARES WHAT A BUNCH OF RICH DILETTANTE HOLLYWOOD ACTORS HAVE TO SAY?
Why do the media go to these people like they are the Oracle of Delphi, hanging on their every word for our guidance in all our affairs? With certain notable exceptions like Chuck Heston and Tom Selleck, THEY KNOW NOTHING AND HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TO THE CONVERSATION. They abuse their bully pulpit because they know people will listen. And in a Clinton/Gore administration, they might have been listened to.
Thankfully the grownups are in charge of the asylum now and whining and mewling sounds from the direction of Hollywood will be rightly ignored.

Time to take out the trash

According to Fox News, former Afghan Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has declared war on US troops in Afghanistan.
Time to take out this particular specimen of trash. I vote for a JDAM right up his ass. On the other hand, our troops seem to be ready:

At a U.S. military base called Camp Salerno in southeastern Afghanistan, Lt. Col. Martin Schweitzer said they were aware of Hekmatyar and the threat posed by his loyalists and the Taliban.
“Bring it on,” Schweitzer said. “We’re more than ready to handle any of the threats that are out there.”
