He MUST be. It’s in the New York Times:

…BO.

Not Barack Obama, though I do often think of BO when I think of him.

No, we’re talking body odor…and I am calling BS on this hard-hitting NBC report which lists the top 7 cities for BO (via Hot Air headlines):

* Yuma, AZ #7

* San Antonio, TX #6

* New Orleans, LA #5

* Chicago, Il #4

* Phoenix, AZ #3

* Houston, TX #2

* Las Vegas, NV #1

Uh…no. I have spent time in all of these cities (extensive time in Yuma, Phoenix, San Antonio and Houston) and I can tell you that this report misses the most obvious one…

New York.

Ever spent a July afternoon on the “R” train headed to Brooklyn? Or even a mid-February day, when people don’t bother to clean their overgarments? PEEEE….EWWWWW! A New Yawk friend of mine explained that many New Yorkers just “give up” on hygiene since they have to walk everywhere and the stank just seems to stick to them.

I spend about a month of every year in Yuma and I can tell you there might be stink from the agriculture but
I can’t ever recall that stink being on humans.

The WORST smell I have ever smelled was in New Orleans, but that had nothing to do with BO…it was a few weeks after Katrina right outside of the Superdome (they were taking the water-soaked turf out).

Another town NBC missed…Oakland. Ever been to a Raider game?

Thoughts? Any disgusting BO stories y’all might have?

…well, she’s an attention whore anyway.

Watch her defend the porn star who banged Tiger Woods (and is claiming Woods impregnated her twice without any proof at all) on the night The Hannity Show looked more like Jerry Springer:

Tiger Woods is scum for cheating on his wife and kids. Gloria Allred is a whore…for trying to profit off of it.

Sent to me by one of my poker friends:

Uh Oh.

Heh:

Or better yet, what have we allowed them to do to us?

Today, yet another senseless airline scare brought air-travel to a halt.

We turn a blind eye and allow them to feel-up nuns, frisk 5 years-olds and harrass disabled elderly travelers. We make ridiculous comments like “if it will keep us safe, then I’m all for it”. We pat ourselves on the back at what good citizens we are for tolerating government intrusion into our daily lives.

We are being beaten into submission.

Listen up people – your fellow American is not your enemy! Your knee-jerk, reactionary big-brother Federal Government is your enemy. Those who would rather inconvenience innocent American citizens under the guise of safety rather than address real issues are you enemies. Those who want you to live in fear and look upon your fellow man with suspicion are the real terrorists!

Unfortunately, this Sunday I have to subject myself to the indignity of air travel. God help me.

Remember when flying was kinda fun?

Whatever you say Nancy-san.

UPDATE: Pull Up! Pull Up!

OK…that’s not really what he said, I ripped that line off from Allahpundit at Hot Air (it was too brilliant NOT to steal).:

Remember those Halcyon days of just 9 months ago when Gibbs would step to the podium and practically make out with the press?

But c’mon…I think President Obama deserves at LEAST a B+ for breaking the space-time continuum:

The students of the H.W. Smith School in Syracuse, N.Y., are upset with President Obama for answering an invitation to visit their school with a form letter, local television station WSYR reports. The children mailed the president a letter on Nov. 13, inviting him to come help them build a snowman. They included a photo of the group, and wrote about how building a snowman together would demonstrate unity and peaceful living.

The reply they received from the White House was dated Nov. 6 — a week before they sent their letter — and was addressed to “students.”

Now how did Barry know BEFORE the children sent their letter that he needed to respond to them?

Well, it doesn’t matter because Barack Obama has a continual habit of letting down schoolchildren:

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

So how do the children feel about getting punked by the President?

Most of the students said they did not expect the president to visit them, but they had hoped for something more personal than a form letter.

“I was disappointed because I think his office could have done better than that,” Kiana Furgeson, a sixth-grader at H.W. Smith said. Simeon Greenberg, a third-grader, added: “I felt disrespected. It was very disappointing to get that kind of response.”

The students decided to answer the White House with a complaint about its informal response, and sent Obama another letter asking him to consider having his staff write personal responses to his mail. “If they wrote the letter we received as an answer on a test, they would not have a passing grade because they did not answer the question,” the students wrote.

Though I’m sure Obama would have given himself a B+ anyway.

I understand the White House is planning on sending “safe schools” Czar Kevin Jennings to HW Smith to make up for their gaffe…

Have you seen this kid trying to board an airplane?:

Can you see the evil in his eyes? Apparently our Transportation Security Administration can, because according to them, he’s a potential terrorist:

“Meet Mikey Hicks,” said Najlah Feanny Hicks, introducing her 8-year-old son, a New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person.

Michael Winston Hicks’s mother initially sensed trouble when he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name “was on the list,” she recalled.

The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried.

After years of long delays and waits for supervisors at every airport ticket counter, this year’s vacation to the Bahamas badly shook up the family. Mikey was frisked on the way there, then more aggressively on the way home.

“Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch — someone is patting your 8-year-old down like he’s a criminal,” Mrs. Hicks recounted. “A terrorist can blow his underwear up and they don’t catch him. But my 8-year-old can’t walk through security without being frisked.”

See…this is why I am done flying. Frisking EIGHT YEAR OLDS? Are TSA agents not even allowed to use their common sense in “keeping us safe”? (OK, don’t answer that…we all know your average TSA employee doesn’t possess “common sense”)

This is what Mikey has to do to get on an airplane:

A third grader at a parochial school in Clifton, N.J., Mikey recites the drill like the world-weary traveler he is. Leave early for the airport, always with his passport. Try to get a boarding pass at the counter. This will send up a flag. The ticket agent, peering down at tiny bespectacled Mikey, will apologize or roll her eyes, and call for a supervisor. The supervisor, after a phone call — or, more likely, a series of phone calls — will ultimately finagle him onto the plane. But the Hickses are typically the last to select seats and the last to board, which means they sometimes can’t sit together.

The TSA’s response to this lunacy?:

A spokesman for the T.S.A., James Fotenos, said that as a rule, “there are no children on the no-fly or selectee lists,” but would not comment on Mikey’s situation specifically.

Of course not. You see if Fotenos let’s this blonde-haired Cub Scout off the hook and then little Mikey DOES blow up an airplane, Fotenos would actually have to answer to someone…

On a good day, the country of Haiti is a little glimpse of what the tropical areas of hell might be like. After the earthquake, it’s unimaginable.

The Anchoress has a massive round-up of ways to help.

I’ve also put up a link in the sidebar to World Vision, one of my preferred charities with their hands already at work down there. There are many worthy ways to help, so do what you can wherever you feel will do the most good.

Why the hell did this video have to go viral the week before the Chargers play their first playoff game? Ya think the Jets are laughing their butts off over this?:

I’m hoping that LT has the last laugh, but Lord this isn’t good…

The former UN Weapons Inspector and longtime war critic Scott Ritter could have sniffed them out with the tenacity of a bloodhound.  Again!

The police affidavit gives the following account:

Officer Ryan Venneman was posing as 15-year-old “Emily” in an online chat room when he was contacted by someone using the name “Delmarm4fun.” This person, later identified as Ritter, told “Emily” he was a 44-year-old male from Albany, N.Y.

“Emily” told Ritter she was a 15-year-old girl from the Poconos, at which point Ritter asked for a picture other than the one “Emily” had posted on her account. Ritter then sent her a link to his Web camera and began to masturbate on camera.

Usually he only does that to photoshopped pictures of Cheney in a prison uniform.

This is not the first time Ritter has been in such trouble.

According to reports, Ritter was charged in a June 2001 Internet sex sting in New York, but that case was dismissed.

He had been charged with attempted child endangerment after arranging in an online chatroom to meet what he thought was a 16-year-old girl at a Burger King restaurant. The girl turned out to be an undercover policewoman.

Ritter said the criminal charge was a smear campaign in response to his criticizing U.S. policy in the Middle East.

A likely story.  The old “I criticized your Mid East foreign policy so you prosecute me for masturbating to what I believe is a 15 year old on the Internet” excuse.  These kinds of things happen all the time.  Except most times when people give speeches on Iraq they’re not conditioned to do it more than 100 yards away from a school zone.

Ritter first made headlines in 1997 when, as a senior UNSCOM member, he was accused by Iraq of being an American spy himself. Now a consultant, he is the author of “Frontier Justice: Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Bushwhacking of America” and “Endgame: Solving the Iraq Problem Once and For All.”

Stay tuned for his follow-up novel:  “Jailbait:  My Life As A Recurring Character on To Catch A Predator“.

…I will.

Didn’t I tell y’all Lane Kiffin was a no-good sumbitch?

My Bruins kicked his ass this year…we’ll do it again…and again…and again.

(Oh yeah…hey Preston, you still need to pay up)

It’s time to bounce around the reader with your host, me.

First, it appears that some folks may be facing the stark reality that our President is a lying bastard.

Unfortunately for him, video never forgets. Joe Wilson was right, except that he should have shouted “YOU LIE TIMES INFINITY!”

That won’t stop Granny Rictus McBotox from giving Harry Reid political handjobs in the Congressional Restroom while the obedient Old Media stands outside the door waiting for the gruesome twosome to dictate their talking points to them.

The Dim-O-Cracks are starting to see the handwriting on the wall. Masters of Corruption Chris Dudd and Byron Dorgan have chosen retirement as the only alternative to getting their asses kicked this fall. COURAGE.

Condi Rice, Spencer Abraham and Thomas Siebel are working hard to help push Cap-and-Trade through congress. Why? Profit! Just another group of faux conservatives who don’t give a shit about you. No wonder George W was such a big Condi fan, she was as phony as he was.

Everyone’s favorite Janet Reno lookalike and WNBA fan, Janet Napolitano, says that the failure of the underpants bomber to ignite his payload proves that her system is infallible. The DHS’ Inspector General, however, says that DHS is completely unable to do its job. Unfortunately for us, the last thing this administration cares about is our security.

Don’t be afraid, though, because the CIA is totally on top of those abominable snowmen who are coming to kill us all. Hopefully global warming will melt all the ice so that they fall in and drown before they get the opportunity.

This is the kind of shit that happens when you put ignorant, petulant children in charge of the greatest country that ever existed. Even Iowa QB Rick Stanzi can see this with his helmet turned around backwards.

Another reason I will never donate to NPR or PBS again (and neither should you). They’re all cut from the same socialist cloth. On second thought, I’ve never donated to them before now, so I guess that will keep my streak going. Here’s a good way of handling the leftists who try to define the narrative all up in your grill.

Off topic, Cara totally flips my switch (content warning).

Alright, that’s about it for now. Just remember that you don’t have to fear this administration. They’re so completely incompetent they’ll never be able to track you down.

I’m done flying.

I already hate everything about flying. I find it insulting that soon-to-be-unionized brain-dead idiots who couldn’t find employment anywhere else “secure” our terminals (sorry if I offend any TSA agents, but I doubt most of them can even read). I find it absolutely moronic that I have to take off my freakin’ shoes to board an airplane.

Now the TSA has more stupid rules for flying. We can’t “profile” Muslims flying from overseas, but we CAN yank the pillow from a child:

Onboard, we learned of more new TSA rules (for flights to the U.S. originating abroad). All electronic devices would have to be turned off an hour before landing instead of just on descent. And no one could have a pillow or blanket on their person during the last hour of the flight. Seriously. Cut to my daughter screaming bloody murder as the flight attendant yanks the pillow from under her head. Seriously.

This is all bullshit. I’d write a scathing letter to the moron Obama has running our TSA…but Barry never got around to actually picking someone to run that agency. Well, until now.

Anyway, until our gubbermint takes SERIOUS measures to protect us on airplanes, I’ll just rent a car and drive. SERIOUS measures. Give the ACLU a giant middle finger…and PROFILE:

Since Muslims took down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, every attack on a commercial airliner has been committed by foreign-born Muslim men with the same hair color, eye color and skin color. Half of them have been named Mohammed.

And so, despite 5 trillion Americans opening laptops, surrendering lip gloss and drinking breast milk in airports day after day for the past eight years, the government still couldn’t stop a Nigerian Muslim from nearly blowing up a plane over Detroit on Christmas Day.

The “warning signs” exhibited by this particular passenger included the following:

His name was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

He’s Nigerian.

He’s a Muslim.

His name was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

He boarded a plane in Lagos, Nigeria.

He paid nearly $3,000 in cash for his ticket.

He had no luggage.

His name was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

More common sense from Ann Coulter:

Update: Via Hot Air, Mark Steyn checks in:

On Christmas Day, a gentleman from Nigeria succeeded (effortlessly) in boarding a flight to Detroit with a bomb in his underwear. Pretty funny, huh?

But the Pantybomber wasn’t the big joke. The real laugh was the United States government. The global hyperpower spent the next week making itself a laughingstock to the entire planet. First, the bureaucrats at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) swung into action with a whole new range of restrictions.

Against radical Yemen-trained Muslims wearing weaponized briefs? Of course not. That would be too obvious. So instead they imposed a slew of constraints against you. At Heathrow last week, they were permitting only one item of carry-on on U.S. flights. In Toronto, no large purses.

Um, the Pantybomber didn’t have a purse. He brought the bomb on board under his private parts, and his private parts weren’t part of his carry-on (although, if reports of injuries sustained in his failed mission are correct, they may well have been part of his carry-off). But no matter. If in doubt, blame the victim. The TSA announced that for the last hour of the flight no passenger can use the toilets or have anything on his lap — not a laptop, not a blanket, not a stewardess, not even a paperback book. I can’t wait for the first lawsuit after an infidel flight attendant confiscates a litigious imam’s Koran as they’re coming into LAX.

Or something like that:

“The idea was that we’d show that the Bush Administration had had far worse missteps than we ever could,” says a staffer in the counsel’s office. “We were told that classified material involving anything related to al Qaeda operating in Yemen or Nigeria was fair game and that we’d declassify it if necessary.”

“This White House doesn’t view the Northwest [Airlines] failure as one of national security, it’s a political issue,” says the White House source. “That’s why Axelrod and Emanuel are driving the issue.”

Disgusting.

…for those of you who observe a “holiday” created by a Marxist convicted felon and practitioner of torture:

Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 – by convicted felon Ron Karenga.

Five years after he invented Kwanzaa, Karenga was sentenced to prison “for torturing two black women by whipping them with electrical cords and beating them with a karate baton after stripping them naked. He placed in the mouth of one of the victims a hot soldering iron, also scarring her face with the device. He put one of her big toes in a vise, and detergent and running water in both their mouths.”

At the time he was inventing Kwanzaa, Karenga had also organized a terrorist group at UCLA called “US” (for “United Slaves”). In 1969, Karenga’s followers killed two Black Panthers. While he was in prison, Karenga converted to Marxism. This was regarded by California State University at Long Beach as evidence of his being rehabilitated. So they made him director of their black-studies program.

Ah liberalism…don’t you love it? Torture and entice to kill…and academia merits you with a department leadership and honors your made up “holiday”.

And let’s not leave out your Christianity-bashing either:

“The Christian is our worse enemy. Quiet as it’s kept, it was a Christian who enslaved us. Quiet as it’s kept it’s a Christian who burns us. Quiet as it’s kept it’s a Christian who beats us down on the street; and quiet as it’s kept when the thing goes down it’ll be a Christian that’s shooting us down. You have to face the fact that if the Christian is doing all this there must be something wrong with Christianity.”

So I guess Karenga thinks he was just practicing Christianity when he enslaved, burned and beat Deborah Jones and Gail Davis.

(reposted from my “11″ days)

Got permission to repost this photo from a Facebook friend of mine who was frustrated with the California DMV this morning:

Just remember libs…you actually want the government to take over healthcare.

I don’t think so. I think it’s chickenshit:

“I would have less of a voice and I would have less respect if I voted for things I didn’t believe in because of pressure from the leadership,” DeFazio told The Hill in an interview.

Obama himself has taken notice.

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother,” Obama told DeFazio during a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, according to members afterward.

Yeah, I know…I live in this fantasy world where my President doesn’t “keep score” in order to get even, but rather leads with integrity, poise and character. I sense that our President thinks he’s still in junior high and that he’ll grab his buddy Rahm to jump DeFazio after school to beat him up.

A little WTF celebrity news.

I was a little taken aback when Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore married.  But then I thought, well, he strikes me as a jaded man who struggles with intense feelings, and stepping in to a fresh clean girl at the end of the day probably does him a lot of good.

But this, well, I simply don’t believe it.  It’s possible for me use them together in a sentence I guess, like:  “What if Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson were the last two people left on Earth?”  That’s really the only situation I would imagine the two sharing a sentence.

Then I thought, a fresh clean beautiful girl with few deep feelings (or thoughts) sometimes needs to step into a bathtub of cold Billy Corgan razor blades at the end of the day, just to remind herself that she’s just a regular human.

It just may work.

When looking for a surgeon who can be trusted to re-attach America’s balls, you may want to take a long look at Lt. Col. Allen West.

I’m not sure America ever had his level of testosterone in leadership, but I think it may be time for what a man like him has to offer. Sure Euro-weenies might plaster his bloodied and fanged-face to protest signs, and this time I would say “Hell yeah! What do you want to do about it?”

Now I’m off to make some salmon pinwheels for my ladies lunch.

Uh…drugs are bad. But sometimes they’re good. As in this animated short which tells the story of Dock Ellis and his 1970 LSD-enhanced no-hitter against the San Diego Padres:

The background:

If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.

Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres.

More interesting stuff from the producers of the video…
