The Democratic party / The Socialist party...Can you tell them apart? (guest posting)

This post comes from a contributor from the Raleigh area. Any thoughts about this? BD

The train is still rollin'

The Rams of Virginia Commonwealth just won another HUGE road game at Drexel today. This brings them to 18-3 overall and undefeated in the CAA conference. This was the second big road victory for the rams this week. They took the game in Northern Virginia on Wednesday vs last year's Cinderella Story, George Mason. Heading back home to the friendly confines of the Siegel Center for an inter conference game, VCU will entertain the Tribe of William and Mary on Monday nite. As mentioned in the earlier post, gotta give the praise to the Mid Majors out there. Come tourney time, count the number of games lost by the "Big" conferences 4-6 seeds at the hands of the smaller school. Bet.

Some Respect for the Mid Majors Please!!

Proving once again that good teams from smaller conferences deserve as much a chance at the March Madness Glory as any team, especially the pathetic #7's and 8's from the "Big" conferences, the V.C.U. Rams beat league rivals O.D.U. Monarchs 80-75 at home last night. (nice run on sentence, huh?)This brings their record to 16-3. They are undefeated in the C.A.A. conference and undefeated on the road(2 losses on neutral floors, 1 loss at home). Even if the Rams do not finish the season strong, teams like this still deserve a shot at the Big Dance, even if they do not win their conference tournament. After George Mason stunned the world last year with a final four appearance, Hofstra went deep into the N.I.T, and neither won their conference tournament, mid major conferences deserve every one's respect. I have stopped even blinking an eye when a Wake Forest falls in the first round of the NCAA tourney, when they were over ranked at a 4 seed, yet finished 5th in the ACC. And usually the team beating the also rans of the big conferences are the teams from the mid majors. For all that is holy and sacred to NCAA basketball, please take a closer look at the smaller schools when it come time for the big selection.

Are they @$%#& serious???

Some genius on Capital Hill has submitted a bill that would allow ILLEGAL ALIENS the opportunity to collect social security after working only 18 months!!!! That means that not only are you giving these criminals the ability to collect from our dangerously low and soon to be completely drained coffers of social security, but they can do this in 8.5 years less than the average citizen can collect social security. You and I(real American citizens who pay taxes and support the economy of our great nation) have to work at least 10 years before we can start collecting S.S. That would mean that these aliens would have to break the laws several more times just to collect their checks. They would need to come up with fake IDs, as well as fake social security numbers to collect. Well ain't that nice. We are not only rewarding them for working in our country illegally, but we are making them even more criminal to collect their rewards. Our country is fucking idiotic at times. I cannot believe someone that was voted into office actually thinks this is a good idea. Before long, the reasons that people are fleeing Mexico will be in our own back yards and we will have acted too late. Get these fucks out of our country and enact measures to keep their brethren out as well. Come thru the front door and I will welcome you with open arms. A self proclaimed intellect liberal once said, when our forefathers got to this country, they were all illegal aliens as well. Yeah, and how did THAT work out for the native Americans then?!!?

Happy @$*#@**$ New Year to the masses

Drink much, eat much, love much. Just stay the hell where you are and dont hurt anybody else.

Merry Christmas to the easily offended

For everyone partaking in this holiday season, best wishes for a joyous holiday with friends and families. If that be Christmas, hanukkah, etc, great. Just dont be offended if I or anyone else wishes you Merry Christmas. This country was founded on freedom of religion, but at the time, that religion was Christianity. Whatever you celebrate, fine! I do not care. Have fun, eat, drink and be merry. Just stop forcing your agenda on malls, department stores, etc, demanding they stop using the term "Christmas" because it is not what YOU celebrate. Last I checked, about 85% of this country still celebrates Christmas and you are in the minority so shut the hell up and celebrate whatever it is you celebrate and leave the rest of us alone.

Can anybody tell me why this isn't the best Christmas special out there?

Just in Time For Christmas...Holiday T Shirts

When will anyone actually listen to this guy?

Once again, President "Tom" of Iran has made several threatening remarks to Europe, The United States and other allies, threatening us all again with Jihad and Armageddon. His seems to be mixing praises for Democrats and those not interested in stopping his nuclear program along with predicting the death and destruction of every other person in Europe or the U.S. It seem he "needs" the nuclear reactor for power. Only, Iran sits on top of one of the most abundant oil reserves in the world. Not so much a need there. He said any sort of sanctions will cause whomever imposing them to be sorry. Funny how the media looks at President Tom and sees a man who wants peace and just wants to be left alone. I guess they are not actually listening to him when he talks about exterminating the US and Israel at every opportunity. Sorry, but to turn to him for advice on the Iraq situation is like turning to Jeffrey Dahmer about how to treat young black youths. Just not going to work. For God's sake people, do not trust this man, do not help propagate his agenda. Remember: Hitler said in 1938 that he wanted peace and was not planning on invading Poland(Glenn Beck). The world wanted to believe this, so we did nothing. Guess where that sort of thinking got us?!!

Crying over Spilt Dominican Beer?

For those unaware, it seems Albert Pujols has a problem coming in Runner up to Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies for National League MVP. He seems to think that because his team made the playoffs and Howard's didnt, that makes him the better choice. Obviously, he does not seem to remember that the Phillies happened to finish 2 games ahead of Pujol's Cardinals in the Won Loss columns this year. It just so happens, the Cardinals play in a weaker league. So, which team did better? The one that one more games or the one that happened to finish first in a weaker division. So much for the "no I in Team" ay Albert?

To the good folks at US Airways...Keep up the good work. You just earned my business.

Seems the Muslim men who were removed from a US Airways plane for suspicious behavior have asked all Muslims to boycott this airlines. Well that seals the deal for me. That is now my airline of choice.

Sorry for the time off folks, but hey....HOW BOUT THEMS SKINS!!!!

The "Wall"

Does anyone know why no one in DC is proposing a full, several thousand mile fence between us and Mexico? Well it seems that the powers that be are already in the process of developing an international highway from Mexico to Minnesota and a very long wall would just hinder that process. Now, does that really sound like anyone in charge thinks a wall will work, or for that matter, want one to work. Shit no. It is all lip service til the election is done. Then they can go back to sitting on their fat asses and work only another 76 days next year. For $165000 and up per year, we are really getting our money's worth from these schmucks.

Engagement/ Wedding Process....Friend of Foe?

Thought this would be timely since I have just picked a wedding date. I am now 1.5 months into the engagement process with the Cathedral and Priest now selected and available. This leaves about just under 11 months to fill in the rest of the blanks for the wedding and reception. So far it has been a stressful process and we have not spent dollar #1 yet. I am looking forward to crunch time when we are balancing work, social life, MBA programs, sports, summer, family, and everything else while attempting to make our special day just that...special. I can honestly say that the day after the BIG day will be a joyous event and a great start to the rest of our lives together. Not that any of you( the select few that actually log onto this site) care about the above situation, but since we just established our date, it seemed an appropriate time to chime in on this matter.

Well DUH!!

Gee pal, YA THINK?? These guys and gals stick together like the little balls of poop that stick to your ass hairs and just won't fall properly into the depths of the toilet bowl. To get rid of them ya just HAFTA wipe.
Politicians are about the lowest form of civilized life that I can think of. This is because their jobs basically revolve around "spin"- putting their own version of the truth out there for everyone to see. This means that they put down anything their opponents come up with - even if it's a good thing. This means that they build up anything their side comes up with- even if it ain't such a good thing. This means they HIDE bad things about their side and blow things out of proportion for the other side. It's politics. Nuff said...
My problem with this- meaning THIS case only, not this whole situation of partisan politics- is that it SHOULD be a legal issue only. The case where the guy had a relationship with an underage intern should have seen the guy in jail or UNDER one. The case where the guy text messaged the underage intern should be fully under investigation. If some wrong-doing was found to have happened, he, too, should be put UNDER a jail.
Of COURSE the politicians are gonna have their war of words and this should determine whether the guy gets elected again or not- basically whether he loses his job. However, the LEGAL action is what I wanna know about. Politicians will put all kinds of spin on the situation and I don't care about that. I wanna know the FACTS. Facts will come from the legal investigation- or should.
Your point was that the whole situation sucks and this is true. Any person who closes a blind eye to a potentially illegal situation just because the perp is a friend should be smacked around. Especially if this same person goes OFF against another perp in the same situation just because they are on another team. And that is what we have here- teams. Teams who are playing a game of politics to get their buddy a job in the next election. To do this they hafta get a rival fired. It's a game of who gets elected and who gets ousted...who gets a job and who loses their job. These teams play this politics game against each other but the loser ends up being the American people and that really sucks.

Nancy Pelosi and her pack of flying monkeys

Former Rep. Gerry Studds passed away recently without too much fanfare anywhere except Massachusetts. This gentleman was given a congressional hand slap when he was censured for sexual relationship with an underage male page in 1983. Not only did Mr Studds(such a wonderful porn name if I say so myself) not get brought up on statutory rape, sexual assault, or a host of other felonious acts that applied, he did not resign, get fired, leave after term, NOTHING. He barely received a hand slap for his indiscretions. In fact, the wonderful voters of the state of Massachusetts returned him to office for six more terms, nearly 20 years. What makes this story even better is that when given the opportunity to show leadership and ethical fortitude, Nancy Pelosi chose to offer a handslap to Mr Studds. She voted on no fewer that 3 occasions to give him the handslap ONLY. This is the same person that is calling for the heads of anyone(as long as it is a republican) who knew of Mark Foley's past. She wants leadership in the House, Senate, etc to come down hard on those that knew that he had a problem, yet did not come forward. Well please tell me how an inappropriate Instant Message to an underage male page is worse than an actual SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP with an underage page? Except that one is a FELONY!!! Once again Pelosi proves that she believes what ever the conservatives do or say is wrong and that their actions are satanic and their words are as shallow as a West Virginia Gene Pool. Rep. Studds' actions should have led to much more outrage and the calling for heads of the democratic leaders as well. This never happened. Why? Because it was a democrat and not a republican. This partisan politics is about as senseless and unproductive as it gets. One side says its raining and the other claims the sun is out. No one seems to be able to take anything done by the other side and give an ounce of credit if it is due. Are you telling me that G. W. Bush has done NOTHING in the past 6 years correct(or Clinton the 8 years before that)? I know some of his choices have not turned out to be the best but for Christ's sake, he has done numerous good things that will never be admitted by detractors. Why again do we elect these people?

Accidental oversight...or strategy?

Some interesting information has crossed the desk today. It seems that recently, in a 12 day period, over 150 stories were run at the top news organizations about Mark Foley and his inappropriate Instant Messages to an underage page. This is all well and good considering the child predator implications this places on Foley. However, at this time, Foley has only been proven to "text message" this/these pages. A different story happened a few years back that is much worse that Mark Foley's, but yet was almost a forgotten thought in the media. Former Illinois Rep. Mel Reynolds, Democrat, was convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old campaign aid, including solicitation of sex from her 15 year old friend and solicitation of child pornography. The total number of stories that ran across the same top news organizations...19 in a 12 month period. Now there may have been a very good reason that a top congressman being convicted of these heinous acts gets only a nod in the news while Foley is all anyone can talk about. Could it be the 2006 Congressional and Senate elections? Now if that were the case, then you might accuse the media of taking sides. Now that would be just silly. Do not get me wrong, I do not condone anything Mark Foley has done, in fact he is a complete scum bag. However, from a fair balanced stand point, this action only typifies the day to day selective reporting that shows up as "news" each night on the main circuit.

Where was this censorship for Fahrenheit 911?!?

Once again the lefties show their true side. Sighting defamation of former president Bill Clinton, the liberals have threatened both Disney and CEO Michael Igor to not play the docudrama about 9/11. It seems this movie does not paint Mr Cigar in the best of lights. Since his administration is all the dems can hang their hat on for the last 25 years, they are doing their best to protect that "sparkling" image he has. That in itself should be enough of a laugh to keep you smiling for the evening. Seems that "W" can be called a racist, Hitler, anti Christ, etc., and also be accused of not only staging 9/11, but also intentionally blowing up the levees in N.O. just because he hates black people. Now I am not a Rhodes Scholar, but seems to me that this has some defamation about it. I guess its not defamation if the liberals pick the target. But, God forbid, the non partisan 9/11 commission uncover something(that is very well documented anyways) that points to the fact that Slick Willy refused to take out Osama Bin Laden when he had the chance. Seems that wouldn't of looked too good to the Saudis at the time. This is an interesting fact, since Bush has been accused ad nausium of being in bed with the Saudi Royal Family since his presidency started. The docudrama evidentially points to the fact that many terrorist attacks and intelligence went in one ear and out the other when Clinton was in office. This highlights that he and his administration had a good amount of blame for 9/11. I think the Libs like it better blaming EVERYTHING on "W" and cant fathom the thought that their very own military/intelligence cutting, friend of every foreign country administration sat on their ass for 8 years and helped facilitate the worse terrorist attack in our nation's history.
