Bin Laden Relocates!

Just a few months short of the tenth anniversary, Osama Bin Laden has finally been captured and killed, and I’m watching crowds celebrating in Times Square and outside the White House.

This is wonderful, wonderful news!

Of course, this being reality, the Left is already fretting on Twitter about how angry the bad Muslims are going to be when they see us celebrating.  Well, all I have to say to that is this:  do the Frug, bitches!  Allahu Ackbar!

Look, I know as a Catholic that I should probably pray for bin Laden’s soul tonight, but I can’t help thinking that this matter has probably already been settled.

Palin Derangement Syndrome Spreads To Netflix Customer Reviews

Scares the hell out of movie viewers.

Scares the hell out of liberals.

I was browsing Netflix recently trying to track down a copy of the 1970s conspiracy-thriller-disguised-as-a-killer-fish-film “Barracuda” (Shut up, you!  It was super kewl in the late 70s, especially with it’s freaky downbeat ending!).

I’d figured the film was pretty much gone for good and so was delighted to discover that it’s still available on one of those cheap compilation discs that sometimes pair up forgotten films under a kind of cheesy drive-in movie banner.

Here’s a sample from the text of the first customer review listed:

…You gotta love a flick that pretends to be about fish “gone bad” (ala Jaws) but is actually about a government experiment that has unintentional consequences for the local population and the local sea-life. The whole conspiracy concept is so laughable and the way it is portrayed will make you wonder if Sarah Palin helped write the script.. You know what I mean, “someone isn’t telling the whole truth” and so on hehe.

<snip>

One scene shows a young lady who takes her shirt off and seduces one of the “visitors” and then cuts his “man-hood” off but we see no hide nor hair of her afterward or what happened to her. I can live with that though because the whole movie is so silly and plot holes are as prevalent as Sara Palin’s husband attempts to get that state trooper fired in Alaska. I meant that there are many plot holes in this flick. Just wanted to clarify that hehe. Recommended if you like double features that pretend they are 70′s flicks. 10/14

Get it?  The movie is so bad that it’s like SARAH PALIN WAS INVOLVED!!!1!

The next time you feel bad about yourself, just remember that there are people out there who are so consumed with hatred for Sarah Palin that they can’t even write a customer review for a cheesy 70s movie without telling the whole world how much they hate the former governor of Alaska.

She lives inside their heads rent free.

BREAKING: Exclusive Footage of Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi After Losing The Gavel

Hey, Look! It’s Been Ten Years Since The Left Said Not To Drill For Oil Because It Would Take Ten Years To Get To Market!

Doesn't Want You To Drill

Ten years ago gasoline prices spiked at the pump.  After several years in the $1.50/gallon range (even dipping as low as $0.97/gallon for a brief period of time in 1997), suddenly we were paying $2.00/gallon, then $2.10, then $2.20.

I was unemployed at the time and trying to get through a Summer training program for which I had budgeted my savings very carefully.  I remember getting increasingly anxious every time the price went up because I had not made provisions for a huge gasoline price increase, and the increases hurt.

Now, more sensible people at the time were encouraging the government to ease restrictions on domestic oil exploration, especially in ANWR, but the Democrats objected that we shouldn’t despoil the pristine wilderness.  And besides, they said with the short-sightedness for which they are known, it will take ten years for any new oil to make it to the market and have an impact on pump prices.

Now I’ve always thought that the ten years timeframe was primarily pulled out of their collective asses, because (a) it probably wouldn’t take ten years and (b) a substantive commitment to domestic oil exploration would have sent a message to the rest of the world that would most likely have had an impact on oil prices.

But even if the  Left had been right, it’s now been ten years.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have some of that oil making its way to the pumps right about now?

It could have been, too, if the Republicans had fought for it, but they didn’t, because they’re Republicans, and caving in to shrieking buffoons is what they do best.

So how about we start drilling now?

Another Day Another Demonization of Republicans

Robert Stacy McCain points out the all-too-familiar but nonetheless deeply depressing double-standard that is applied to the GOP by the MFM, to the point that simple, basic fundraising rises to the level of a scandal as the RINOs run for cover.

“Democrats can go to prison for corruption (Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana) or be censured for ethics violations (Rep. Charlie Rangel of New York) and no reporter ever considers this a reflection on the Democratic Party in general. Yet every would-be Woodward and bush-league Bernstein knows in his heart that GOP politicians are all crooked, so that an army of intrepid investigative journalists stands eternally ready to pounce on the Pulitzer Prize to be won by exposing a Republican scandal. And while they wait for the next great “-Gate” to come along, they amuse themselves by making nefarious Nixonian mountains out of the routine molehills of politics.”

Go over there and read the whole thing.  The new Congressmen are going to need balls of steel to stand up to this nonsense.  Fortunately, some of them appear to have just that, and the new Speaker certainly does.

And speaking of the new Speaker, I just discovered that when I type “john boehner” into Google, Google helpfully recommends “john boehner affair” as its first search option.

Well isn’t that helpful?  Can’t let a moment go to waste before demonizing the man for the sin of being Republican.

Devasting News On The Meghan McCain Front

Comrade RINO

It turns out, now brace yourselves, that the self-professed progressive Republican who would show all of us knuckle-draggers the errors of our ways and lead us back to electoral glory is, in fact, something of a boorish, self-involved diva who demanded special treatment at the White House Correspondent’s Association dinner over the weekend.

I’m beside myself, of course, but my pain is nothing compared to Allahpundit‘s.  Go there and laugh at him offer him your comfort.

Catholic Deacon Takes A Swipe At Governor Palin at Christmas Mass

“And then there were all the political scandals, from the ones involving our Governor here in New York, to the Alaskan Governor…“

I may be paraphrasing slightly, but that’s how the deacon at Mass today referenced what he referred to as all the political scandals that rocked the country this year.

In all honesty, the larger point of the homily was lost to me.  It rambled, and the acoustics were poor (which has been true of almost every church I’ve ever attended — it seems almost to be intentional), but the deacon began by referencing the tumult which has been so prevalent this  year.  He went from referencing the economic crisis to political scandals.

I don’t know if he was just trying to touch both the Republicans and the Democrats, but my eyebrows raised when he sought to include Sarah Palin amongst his examples.

Sarah Palin?  Really?  She was a big source of scandal?  Really?  In a year that saw Elliot Spitzer lose his job over dalliances with whores?  In a year when the shockingly inexperienced Democratic candidate for POTUS was exposed for having unseemly ties to radicals and terrorists and nobody seemed to care?

In an environment like that, Sarah Palin is a good example of a scandal-ridden politician?

It was, to say the least, disappointing. I tried to imagine what it would have been like for her if she’d been in our church today with her family.  A good woman of impeccable character and stainless ethics, and she continues to be an object of derision and scorn from people who aren’t fit to say her name aloud much less judge her or label her as scandalous.

But there remains a strain of toxic liberalism flowing through the Catholic Church, and everytime I try to get past my incredulity over Catholics voting for Barack Obama, they go and remind me that, for some Catholics, religion comes second to being partisan Democrats.

Elton John Has Perspective

Has Sense

As thuggish proponents of same-sex marriage continue responding to genuine democracy by assaulting old ladies,  holding sensless and cowardly protests at Mormon churches and producing TV ads of staggering anti-religious bigotry, Sir Elton John comes out as a voice of reason and rational perspective in the face of all the hysteria

Contacting Governor Palin

Thank you, and God bless you!

A reader (imagine that!) asks me if I know how to contact Sarah Palin.  Well, I have no special insider knowledge on how best to reach her, but I do have the Google-fu.

Here is a link for sending an email to her via the Alaska Governor’s official website.

Here is a link to a special petition site set up by Michelle Malkin to collect messages for Governor Palin.

And here is a link containing snail mail addresses for the Governor’s Alaska offices.

Emails are nice enough, I suppose, and I encourage everyone to send her a nice message of support and appreciation, but I’m going to send her a snail mail note as well.  Letters stand out more than email, and I think it will impress upon her even more how much she means to us to have physical correspondence in her hands.

And follow the break for a little bonus!

Bush Was Right!

Awesome, just awesome!
