WE'RE #1 AND OUT OF TOUCH!

Now that health care reform and Cap & Trade has been killed (for now) the President has moved on to other issues of national importance, those that effect us all and will determine the direction of our country for decades to come. He is taking on the BCS.

So there it was, right there in black and white. President BHO has ordered the Justice Department to look into the idea of forcing the NCAA to get rid of the BCS (Bowl championship Series) and replace it with a playoff system similar to what the NCAA does with it's college basketball program.

Before I go into the details and the background of this earth shattering dilemma, let me ask just one question.
DON'T YOU HAVE MORE PRESSING MATTERS TO ATTEND TO?

The BCS was set up to determine and insure that the two best teams in all of college football (formerly Division 1) play for the National Championship to determine the #1 team in college football. Using the weekly AP, USATODAY, New York Times and ESPN polls, five different computers, filled with schedules, strength of schedule, scores, access to not only one psychic, but a palm reader and a guy facing east swinging a rubber chicken over his head, each week after the fourth week of the season, the BCS comes out with it's poll. The top two teams at the end of the season play for the National Championship.

Let me 'spain this to you. I had this all broken down, but even my head was exploding, so I'll put it this way. There are times when you will have three maybe even four teams undefeated at the end of the season. Some won't even get a sniff at the title because of the conference they pay in, their "schedule is too weak." That leaves some people pretty mad. In a playoff system, you play until you loose and maybe your schedule was weak, but if you beat the big dawgs, then you can truely claim to be #1. Not like in 2008 when the Utah Utes went undefeated and weren't even considered for the National Championship.

Enter Pittsburgh's own Orin Hatch, the senator from Utah. He supports looking into an ant-trust lawsuit against the NCAA and the BCS. He supports the Justice Department looking into the possiblibilty of forcing the NCAA into a playoff system, in fact, he lobbied BHO for him to do just that. It's all because his team from Utah got hosed. It all goes back to whose ox is getting gored.

Orin is suppose to be a conservative. Orin, get with the program. I know that Utah got hosed. I feel your pain. Take some advice from Bubba Clinton,"Put some ice on it" and move on. Stick to your principles and just because your ox got gored doesn't mean that you need to abandon what you believe in, keep the government out of where it doesn't belong.

This is exactly what people are upset about. It's one of the reasons why people are up in arms and trashing politicians. Stop worrying about the BS and do some real work for the people. If you are going to tackle health care, than get together and do it sensibly. Work on things that really matter to people and not some headline grabbing issue that means nothing to the average person. People are sick and tired of the government spending money to study the sex life of a toad or who should play for the National Football Championship. Joe Six pack is loosing his job and right now, the BCS is the last thing on his mind.

At this point I would like to make the following statement. Anyone who knows me knows that next to my passion for hockey is my passion for college football. They are the two sports that I follow all year round and when the last check during the Stanley Cup Finals is given out, my attention turns full force to college football. I watch Gameday, go to the game, come home watch the Saturday night game, watch the Pac 10 and after midnight, watch the WAC. I love college football. I have been saying for years that there should be a playoff system. I have shouted it from the mountain top, I even have plans drawn up as to how they would do this!

Orin baby, BHO baby, as every teacher I have ever had in school use to say when we "strayed" off course and talked to a classmate; "If you need something to do, I am sure I can find you something."

THIS IS NOTHING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO GET THEIR NOSES INTO. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS THEY NEED TO BE WORKING ON RATHER THAN FORCING THE NCAA TO GO ALONG WITH LOGIC.
There should be a college football playoff system. The arguments against a playoff system are weak at best. The bowls, colleges and NCAA would make more money than they ever could have dreamed about, but they need to be dragged to the water and there is no guarantee they will drink. It shouldn't be the government dragging them to the water, it should be the fans, alumni and the college community doing the dragging.

Only the government could screw this up more than the BCS already has.

RANDOM THOUGHTS EDITION

POST WRAP UP COVERAGE OF ANOTHER OBAMA SPEECH AND SOME THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS WEEK.

(WHAT YOU WRITE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP)

*It's funny, this guy takes his teleprompter with him everywhere he goes, even to school!

*The State of the Union speech was; too long, boring, full of misrepresentations, lacked vision, was just a campaign speech and that's what the democrats were saying! Hey, when they are right, they're right.

*How Bush League to call out the Supreme Court during a speech before Congress. Even Bill Clinton had more decorum than Obama. That was not the time nor the place to "dress down" the court for a decision. Obama has plenty of opportunities to make his feelings known, the middle of the State of the Union speech is not one of them.

*It would have been great for Justice Alito to jump up and yell "You Lie," as Joe Wilson did, but then again, Judge Alito has too much class to do that.

*Everyone is talking about Alito mouthing "Simply not true" to Obama during the remarks. Did anyone notice the other justices? Ruth Bader Ginsburg looked like she was going to finally over come that constipation she has been having and Justice Sotomayor looked like she was so shocked, she was going to cry!

*ABC News had a news story where they spoke with several historians of the Supreme Court and the feeling is NO members of the high court will attend Mr. Obama's next State of the Union address next year.

*Look, the speech was long, boring, but delivered like a pro, after all, he had his teleprompter there. It was chocked full of lies, misrepresentations and it was really a campaign speech. Viewership was down and instant polling showed that very few Americans believed him. The newspapers in Europe (who the liberals so much want the admiration of and want to be like) say he is politically dead. They give him low grades on "Foreign Policy" and even lower grades on his domestic agenda. Even the press in the US who are still doing everything they can to prop this guy up are having a hard time getting behind this guy. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a freakin' genius!

*The Presidential election is two years away and all indications are that we will have a new resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Don't count on it. While I do believe Obama is a "One Termer," two years is a millennium in politics. Anything can and probably will happen in the next two years and might I remind you that the Republicans still need to get their house in order.

*How bad is it for the democrats? One of the SAFEST seats for democrats is in jeopardy. Russ Feingold from Wisconsin is in the political fight of his life against Tommy Thompson the much loved former governor of the state. Even I didn't see this one coming!
*BHO is now finally listening to the people of New York City who do not want the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in their city. While they still insist on trying him in a US court, giving him the same rights as an American Citizen, Justice Department officials are now looking for a new venue to hold the trial. There's talk about New Jersey being a possible site with five courthouses on the list. What the hell, we really don't need New Jersey do we?

*My biggest fear is that Obama is going to stick Pittsburgh with the trial since they loved the way the city and county handled the G-20.
*BHO said in his speech that his administration has been the most honest, transparent and open administration in history. Please insert your own joke here.

I COME TONIGHT TO TELL YOU THE STATE OF THE UNION IS...

blah, blah, blah, it's Bush's fault, blah, blah, blah.....

So BHO wasted an hour of our time. The good news is, he provided a day's worth of programing to the news channels.

So we saw the old BHO, the one who people were snookered into electing. Hell, we're back in the campaigning mode. Nothing has changed, it's just the way the news is delivered. The man is not going to change, he's not going to be like Clinton, lick his wounds and take a more "populous" approach. No, what he is going to do is re-package the same crap he has been pushing into a NEW AND IMPROVED package.
The audacity of Mr. Obama is shown in a comment to a democrat member of congress. When asked how he is going to avoid a 1994, he replied with something like "The difference between 1994 and now is me."

Confidence is good, I applaud it. Arrogance is boorish.

Obama recently said that he didn't connect with people, get his message out there. You have got to be kidding me! CBS News has kept track and the guy has given 200 speeches since he became President. 200 speeches and you can't get your message out there?

The polls are showing the guy is done. Gallup shows he is the "Most Polarizing President in History." Rasmussen shows that his approval rating is UNDER 47%! Even CBS News is showing him under 50%.
You can repackage it anyway you want, but the American people have tasted it and they don't like it and never will like it. It's just like the "New" Coke. You either liked it or you didn't and most people didn't like it, so it was taken off the market. If it was crap the first time, just because you repackage it, make the box look nicer doesn't change the fact that it's still crap.

The European Press have already written Obama's political obituary. He's dead and irrelevant. He is a divider not the unite-er he presented himself as. Even with the Apology Tour he went on when he became President did help him. The Europeans saw right through him.

The State of The Union speech was not directed at Republicans or democrats, it was pointed at the independents and they weren't buying the new and improved crap BHO is selling.

We are not safer from terrorist.

Our borders are not secure.

Our national budget is not balanced.

You can't spend your way out of a recession.

Unemployment is over 10%.

Hell, it wasn't even this bad under George Bush!

BACK BEHIND THE MIC AGAIN

BROADCASTING FROM HIGH A TOP THE BIGGEST HILL OF CAMEL POOP, IT'S THE OBL SHOW.

OSAMA'S GUEST TONIGHT INCLUDE; ABDUL THE GOAT HERDER AND OMAR THE TENT MAKER, ALONG WITH THE OBL BAND.

I'M YOUR ANNOUNCER ABDUL OMAR O'BRIEN. AND NOW, HERE'S OOOOOSSSSSSAAAAAAMMMMMAAAAAA!

So, Osama finally got that Tandy/Radio Shack T-129 reel to reel working again. Hey, it's hard to get the parts when you live deep inside a cave.

So let's review what took OLB 30 minutes to say, "I HATE YOU AND I WANT TO KILL YOU."

Now, let me say this. This is strictly my opinion. I have no inside information, nor do I purport to know or have any inside knowledge.

Bin Laden is dead. He's been dead for about seven years. He is not alive, take it to the bank.

But, but, how can you be sure? The CIA and all the other agencies around the world say it's him. They say it sounds like him and has the same voice patterns as him, but they don't know for sure.

Come on, we've come along way since Radio Shack first came out with their taping systems. They have upgraded to digital along time ago. Some camel jockey is making the tape, giving it to the Camel Express and three or four days later it shows up at the broadcast studio.

If Bin Laden was alive, Barbara Walters or Matt Lauer surely have interviewed him by now. Hell, even Bob Woodward hasn't made up any quotes from him! I mean, this is the guy who snuck threw CIA security to interview the dying Director Casey on his death bed isn't it? You would have thought that Dan Rather with his pearl handled pistols at his side would have held that mic in front of him by now!

Are you trying to tell me that Mike Wallace hasn't been able to get an interview? What about Koppel and Charlie Gibson? Surely Katie Curtic could have gotten an exclusive by now!

Are you trying to tell me we have the greatest journalist in the world, Brian Williams, Wolf Blitzer, Christine Amanpour and they couldn't get a sit down? Say it ain't so that ANDERSON COOPER couldn't even get a call back? What's he waiting for, Edward R Murrow or Walter Cronkite to come back to life to interview him?
The head of the Camel Jockeys International is dead. The worlds's press would give him anything he wanted, all the air time he ever wanted to get this propaganda out and he's not jumping at the chance? He could threaten the world to "repent" and gain so many converts, but he doesn't?

No, the rag heads have been dismantled and those that are left are trying to carry on the cause. What they now have is fear. They get some goat herder to explode his pants on a plane and they wreak havoc on our security system. They get on their Tracfones and increase the "chatter" getting the UK and the rest of Europe to increase their threat levels. They have everyone running scared, afraid of the boogie man. They are inflicting all the damage that they can. It's all they have and all they can do.

I can wait for the next broadcast. I hear that Abdul Bin Carlin really kills them.

POSTMORTEM

NO PICTURES, NO SNIDE REMARKS (WELL NOT MANY SNIDE REMARKS) JUST STRAIGHTFORWARD, NO-NONSENSE, LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE ELECTORATE.

January 21, 2010

Just two days ago we witnessed the most incredible election this young country has ever had. Never before in the history of the Republic has there been such an election the magnitude of the one in Massachusetts. What really happened and what does it mean? Today we look at the big picture.

The democrats will tell you the electorate was angry and they took it out on the party that is in charge, which just happens to be the democrats. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Oh the electorate is angry, but their anger was directed at the right party.

Barack Obama was not elected because people thought he had better ideas. Hell, no one knew what his ideas were. He didn't tell you and he wasn't properly vetted by the press. No Barack Obama was elected because the electorate was mad at the Republican party for abandoning it's core beliefs of being fiscally responsible and for growing government.

Most of the country is to the right of center. Most people will tell you that they are "moderates" or "middle of the road," but when you ask probing questions of them, you will find they are actually conservatives. What is a conservative? There are many definitions, I addressed that in a previous post labeled my encyclical.

Most people are not liberal. Most people are not what the press likes to call "Right Wingers." Most people are conservatives. They believe in the conservative values and beliefs, less government, lower taxes, the government staying out of their business and affairs, etc. Most of these people now call themselves "Independents." They don't want to be associated with the Republican or democrat party. "I vote for the person, not for the party."

In some areas, like Pittsburgh the electorate is very parochial. "My grandfather and father was a democrat and so am I." Some, though thankfully not all, are directed by their union. But most of the time they want to vote for someone who thinks like them.

If you really break things down you come up with something like this:

Left wing liberals 20%

Right wing conservatives 20%

Democrats 20%

Republicans 20%

Independents 20%

Of the democrats, Republicans and Independents, 80% of them when really questioned are conservatives.

The liberals and those that call themselves democrat will vote for the democrat.

The conservatives and those that call themselves Republican will vote for the republican.

The most desired are the independents. Depending on the electoral winds, they are always the deciding factor.

When they elect these people and they let them down, they become angry and take it out on the one's they placed their trust in.

This was the case in 2008. The Republicans abandoned their core beliefs. Budget after budget was increased. Government was grown, we were funding two wars at the same time we were increasing the budget for "non-essential" expenditures. But most importantly, the government and the elected officials were not listening to the voters. They became comfortable in their positions and when the financial crisis hit, the controlling party, no matter who was to blame was kicked out.

In comes Obama and following the mantra of Rahm Emanuel to "Never let a crisis go to waste," started spending more than the last bunch of losers they just kicked out. The bailed out banks, insurance companies and the auto industry. They started work on the largest tax increase in the history of the world (Cap and Trade) and they attempted to impose nationalized health care. Suddenly, enemy combatants were given rights and lawyers and were to be tried in American court rooms. Special interest groups no longer just had access, they had a seat at the table. Everything from transparency in government, to having time to read the bills online which were promised were out the door. People started to understand what "Spread the wealth around" really meant.

People started to look around and said, "This is not what I voted for."

So they formed groups, The Tea party, The 9-12 Project, etc. Some dove right into the waters, while others remained on the sideline, agreeing with the premise of the groups, just not wanting to get involved. Then the leaders of the democrat party started calling these people "dangerous, Nazis, Astro-Turfers, Teabaggers." The people in the groups and now their friends on the fringes saw and heard this and became angry. When the democrats didn't see that this anger was real and didn't recognized that it was grassroots, they paid a price. The final straw came on Christmas Eve when they tried to ram the health care bill down people's throats.

The democrat leadership says that this is need so badly because thousands of people are dying each and every year because they don't have health insurance. This must be passed now, right now, this day or more will die needlessly. They can't explain why if this is so needed now, why does it not take effect for four years.

They think and hope that people are that stupid.

It was also the smug and arrogance of the leadership that contributed to this groundswell. The Republicans realized after the 2008 election what they did wrong and started to go back to their core beliefs. While the RNC had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the table, there is a sense now that the Republicans are finally getting their act together and going back to their core beliefs.

The Republicans had better get their house in order or in two years, THEY will again be on the receiving end of the voter's wrath.

There were warnings. The elections in Virginia and New Jersey should have sent red flags and warning bells off at the DNC but it did not.

Then came Massachusetts. A senate seat that had been held since the 1950's by Jack Kennedy and then Ted Kennedy. There was NO WAY a republican was going to win that seat. The democrats could have run Bonzo the Chimp for that seat and won.

In a state that already has universal health care, where the wait for an office visit was reduced from 20 days to 58 days, where the emergency rooms are filled to capacity. Where everyone is happy with the government mandated health care, along came this guy in a pick-up truck named Scott Brown.

Scott Brown said that he would be the 41st vote against this health care bill.

Scott Brown said that he favored water boarding to get information from terrorist.

Scott Brown said that federal money should be spent to kill terrorist, not to provide them lawyers.

Scott Brown is the new senator from Massachusetts.

Scott Brown had better be the real deal. Scott Brown had better do what he said he was going to do, or Scott Brown will be the former senator from Massachusetts real quick.

But still the democrats don't get it. Pelosi says we will get health care "One way or another." Obama has admitted to mistakes but adds, "People need to realize that this situation did not happen overnight. It is a result of the previous eight years."

They haven't a clue.

Some do. They are what the press are calling the "Blue Dogs." They know that their jobs are on the line. They heard their constituents in the summer. They know that the anger is real. They look at Massachusetts and see that NO seat is safe. They worry about who is running against them when they wouldn't have given it a thought two months ago. They are not so ready to hitch their wagon to the Obama, Reid, Pelosi Express now. Hell, they know that come November, Reid may be gone, Boxer may be gone, Lincoln may be gone, Specter will be gone. They look around the House chamber and wonder who will be back and who new will be sitting next to them. They even wonder if THEY will be back.

They are now looking at the weather maps and the polls to see how big the hurricane is. They are now starting to ask what do the people want? They should know that.

Less Government, lower taxes, more business opportunities which produce meaningful jobs, less government intrusion into their lives, respect of life, protection from terrorist and those who wish us harm, secure borders, less dependency on "entitlement" programs and respect from their elected officials just to name a few.

This election was a referendum on the democrats who control congress and the white house, plain and simple. They don't want excuses, they want results.

Obama and his advisers still believe the only way to get out of this economic crisis is to have another "Stimulus" package. They reject the idea that FDR extended great depression for 13 years (as major liberal academia have stated) and feel that throwing more money at the problem will change it.

I have a friend who has a morning syndicated talk show that goes "ocean to ocean, coast to coast" and he has a list of his laws. These laws are things that are inevitable, such as law #1. Law #1 states that "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of it's stated intent."

Obama seams to forget or at least hopes that Americans will forget that it was Reagan who came into office facing the greatest economic downturn since the "Great Depression." Unemployment was over 10%, interest rates were at 21%, inflation was at 21%. He didn't whine and keep saying that he "inherited" it. He rolled up his sleeves and got to work. Reagan "stimulated" the economy by lowering taxes, allowing workers to keep more of their money and allowing investors to invest their money which created new jobs. Reagan didn't raise the debt ceiling or print new money. He lowered the debt by paying it off with money from taxes generated when NEW jobs were created and more people had a job. That led to the longest and greatest time of prosperity in the history of the world.

Obama and the democrats had better take note as well as the Republicans. The people don't want big government and they don't want to be controlled by the government. They want a government that works for them, not the other way around.

The democrats don't have a clue. That's why we are watching them implode yet again.

The revolution has started.

Giddy

DO THAT HAPPY DANCE!

IT'S TIME TO GET GIDDY!

ENJOY THE WIN!

THE FIGHT HAS JUST STARTED!

What makes this even better, even better than the results from last night's election is: THEY STILL DON'T GET IT. The democrats don't realize the ramifications of the election of Scott Brown and what they face in November.

Barney Frank sort of gets it, sort of:

"I have two reactions to the election in Massachusetts. One, I am disappointed. Two, I feel strongly that the Democratic majority in congress must respect the process and make no effort to bypass the electoral results. If Martha Coakley had won, I believe we could have worked out a reasonable compromise between the House and Senate health care bills. But since Scott Brown has won and the Republicans now have 41 votes in the senate, that approach is no longer appropriate. I am hopeful that some Republican senators will be willing to discuss a revised version of health care reform. Because I do not think that the country would be well served by the health care status quo. But our respect for democratic procedures must rule out any effort to pass a health care bill as if the Massachusetts election had not happened. Going forward, I hope there will be a serious effort to change the senate rule which means that 59 are not enough to pass major legislation, but those are the rules by which the health care bill was considered, and it would be wrong to change them in the middle of this process." Get the waders out because that was some serious BS. Barney baby, you had every chance to include the Republicans, but you didn't. Now shut up and eat your crow.
The American people wanted change last year, but they didn't want the country torn apart and rebuilt using the Communist Manifesto. There will be plenty of time to dissect the election results, but for now it's time to have fun.

The fight is not over. The fight has just started! You cannot say this is the end. It's not over until November 2nd!
I had originally had in this spot a mention of Ted spinning in his grave. That was inappropriate, so I'll just keep the picture in and YOU can make your own punch line.
BHO was trying to put his best face on this whole deal, stating that yes he had made some mistakes, but people have to realize that this didn't happen overnight. "It was a result of the last eight years." Keep thinking that, keep singing from that hymnal. Blame george Bush in 2012 and you'll be pickin' peanuts with Jimmy in Plains.
Great day for a run eh Dave?

HELL FROZEN OVER!

DATELINE HELL..................Global warming proponents are scrambling today to explain how Hell, the warmest place in the universe was frozen over. Reports say that Tuesday's HIGH was

-32 degrees and are expected to drop to -52 degrees over night. The MSNBC News team stationed in Hell was unable to file a report because of the weather.

Experts are also at a loss to explain why Pigs have been seen flying.

SCOTT BROWN WINS THE SENATE SEAT IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Speaking on a condition of anonymity, a senior aid said that Barack Obama was locked inside a room listening to the Righteous Brothers "You've lost that loving feeling" over and over and over again.

Ted Kennedy could not be reached for comment
