Lions on their way to first win

Right now…31-6 over the Rams.

ADTHE.net is the GREATEST INVENTION IN THE MODERN WORLD!

ADTHE.net allows you to watch ANY or EVERY NFL game from the privacy of your computer.  For free! 

I lived in other states.  Many years I never got to watch the Lions (losers don’t play on Monday, or the Game of The Week).

Then I could watch them for a couple hundred bucks per year.   Not bad. But FREE is better.   All it takes is a couple of minutes to download something to allow it to work, then it is down hill all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Brett Favre, TOAST

It certainly is Brett Farve’s voice on the messages.  If it is also his pecker on the texted photos, I’d say that he is toast.  My guess is that it is.  And it won’t be hard to find out.   Professional athletes aren’t exactly modest in the locker room. 

Rough precedent for how long was set by the Commish regarding Ben Rothlisberger.  He allegedly screwed a college girl who was too intoxicated to give proper consent.  They couldn’t prove it because she did not cooperate, but they still suspended him for four games.  I’d say the four games was based on the fact that he was not charged, and he was not charged because they could not prove that he did anything wrong.  In Favre’s case, he will not have the excuse that he thought she was sober.

I’d guess that Mrs. Favre might be filing for d-i-v-o-r-c-e  soon, too.  Not a lock, because wives of professional athletes have to know that their husbands fool around, especially when they are playing ball in New York and home is in Louisiana.  Brett, you should have stayed retired.  Just my two cents. 

Moral of the story? Never leave messages or send pictures to anybody that you would not want the entire world to hear or see, because it just might.

p.s. Now, if he were a Democrat President of the United States, this would be no big deal…

World food shortage feared: Congress fiddles while the world starves

From Financial Times.com comes this great news:

“Fears of a global food crisis swept the world’s commodity markets as prices for staples such as corn, rice and wheat spiralled after the US government warned of “dramatically” lower supplies.”

“An especially hot summer in the US, droughts in countries including Russia and Brazil and heavy rain in Canada and Europe have hit many grain and oilseed crops this year. This has raising concern of a severe squeeze in food supplies and a repeat of the 2007-08 food crisis.”

The article goes on to point out that the US stock of corn is down to 900 million bushels, the lowest in 16 years.  And other countries are starting to cut off exports and hoarde what they have. 

I could not find current figures for 2010, but one site says this about how much corn the US turned into ethanol five years ago–I can only assume it is more now:

“Most of the 4 billion gallons of ethanol produced in 2005 came from 13% of the U.S. corn crop (1.43 billion bushels of corn grain). This represents a 17% increase from the 3.4 billion gallons produced in 2004. Ethanol is widely used as a fuel additive….” 

I’m no fan of ethanol, but this is ridiculous.  We are turning corn  into gasoline additive while our supply of corn is getting dangerously low. 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see all the campaigning butt pirates go back to Washington just to cut the production of corn into ethanol to zero until further notice?  That would show true leadership about a real worldwide crisis, and would likely calm the world markets.  Nah, that’s too sensible. Nevere happen.  We will just wait until the world is in a panic.  There is no guarantee that next year, or the year after will be better.  And they could be much worse.  Is this how The End begins?

J.D.

p.s. Oh, great.  A new study claims that switchgrass is a much more efficient product from which to produce ethanol:   ”switchgrass ethanol delivers 540 percent of the energy used to produce it, compared with just roughly 25 percent more energy returned by corn-based ethanol according to the most optimistic studies.”  At the time of the study there were no refineries capable of turning switchgrass into ethanol.  So build them. And in the mean time leave the corn for us animals. And for Bourban, don’t forget the Bourban.  And moonshine.

Tom “One Term” Perriello is using conservative blog sites as his whores

I am getting so pissed off at various “conservative” blog sites showing the Tom Perriello ads.  This rant has been brewing for weeks, but was recently set-off by seeing that bastards ugly face on The Other McCain of all places. 

 For the love of God, men, tear down that ad.  Sure, I’m glad you get money for advertising, but have you no shame? If you need money that badly, I’ll donate whatever it is that “One Term” is paying you, hell, you can even put up a “John Doe for Congress” in place of his ad. 

We are in the battle for our lives, for our country, and for our way of life. And conservative bloggers are whoring out their space to a communist freak.  The battle for that seat is very close, so this is not academic.  Regular adorers readers of  The Other McCain know full well that Stacy and Smitty do not support that worthless bastard Perriello.  But not all of those who frequent the site know them like I (in an internet sort of way) know them.  Some might even mistake the damnable ad with an endorsement by those two gents.  No shit.  Why do you think Perriello’s people placed the ad there? For the heck of it? I’m not just picking on The Other McCain.

Hell, I’ve seen his ads all over the place on conservative blogs.  TheClassicLiberal I think has had them.  WashingtonReb has one up right now.  I believe I’ve even seen them on Hot Air and/or Right Wing News.  My point is not to accurately call out each and every conservative blog site that is doing it, but rather just that many prominent great sites are.   

And don’t even TRY to give me that bull shit rationale that you believe in free speech and free enterprise or any other such bull shit. So do whores.  The difference between us and whores is that we have morals, and we act on principles.  If One Term and his ilk have their way you won’t have free speech or free enterprise.  God. Damn. It!   Take down those ads!

And I say this in the most respectful tone possible, as I love you guys.

Eugene Robinson whiiiiiines: Why won’t the GOP compete for African-American votes?

Eugene Robinson is a chump: “Why won’t the GOP compete for African-American votes?” he whiiiiines.   And because blacks vote in lock-step with Democrats, “Democrats have been [taking for granted] black voters for decades”, he cries like a little Nancy boy.

Well John Doe has some questions for Mr. Robinson:  Like, hey shit-for-brains, maybe if prominent blacks did not call black Republicans “Oreos” and “Uncle Toms” and “Traitors to their race,” do you think then that maybe then more blacks would support Republicans?  Or maybe if half the country didn’t demonize black Republican leaders (Condoleeza Rice) or ignore others (J.C. Watts, or Col. West in Florida), do you suppose that then it would not be so hard for blacks to support Republican?  Hmmm?  

 But let’s explore how the Republican party can ”compete for the black vote.” I mean besides what it already has done: a Republican appointed a black man to the Supreme Court, a Republican appointed two different blacks as Secretary of State, and Republicans voted a black man as head of the Republican National Committee.

But here are some other ideas to “compete for African-American votes”:  How about if Republicans cater to blacks by lowering the minimum wage so that black youths are not priced out of the job market?  How about if Republicans make it more difficult to get on and stay on welfare, so that so many blacks will not lose their sense of self-worth from depending upon the government for sustenance? How about if the Republican party cuts taxes and spending so that the economy will rebound and blacks can rise (along with the rest of us)  on the high tide of a roaring economy? 

Don’t like those solutions, Mr. Crap for brains?  How about if Republicans  take a few pages from the Democrat playbook?  Have them start hanging nooses at Democrat headquarters everywhere.  Sure, the Dems will deny it, but after a while, blacks might start to wonder.  Have prominent black Republican sports figures condemn any black who votes for Democrats as having a plantation mentality for voting for the Dem Overseer.  Or even have Republicans out offering more spending money or cigarettes or whatever it is that Democrats offer them on election day.  No, wait, they would probably take the money/cigs and still vote Dem.  Better yet, have Republicans just do what the Dems do and have white guys each vote several different times in the name of registered blacks (as well as pets, illegals and dead people). 

Or, Mr. Crap Brains, how about you lecture the blacks instead of lecturing the Republicans?  Blacks, after all, are the ones who spread their legs so easily for the Democrat Overseers.  It takes two to be taken advantage of, one who is doing the taking, and one who allows it to happen.  Grow up, black voters everywhere.  Quit allowing Dems to take your vote for granted.  Stay home and make a big point of it.  Force the Dems to cater to whatever it is that  you think is in your best interest. 

And blacks everywhere need to grow a pair and stop allowing others to influence how they vote or which political party they support.  I know many already have, and that there are many great conservative blacks, but there need to me much more.  So stop putting up with the black crowd condemning black Republicans. Fight back. Tell them what losers they are for giving away their support for nothing.  Or maybe, just maybe, tell them the truth:  Republicans seek what is best for the country as a whole, blacks, browns, yellows, reds and whites and every color in between.

Right now, Republicans have about zero incentive to advance “black causes” per se, whatever such causes are.  Why not? Because the vast majority of blacks do not support Republicans.  They won’t no matter what the Republicans do.  One might as well ask the Republicans to cater to the Communist Party in order to earn their vote.  Commies would never vote for the Republicans, and it would tick off the Republican base.    And, frankly, if the Republicans start pushing some sort of “black agenda” it would tick me off, too.  I want a party or a politician to push an agenda that is best for ALL Americans, not just a certain race, color or creed.

Alas, Mr. Robinson is just too stupid to figure this out.  He is beyond hope. But hopefully he is not representative of the typical black voter out there.  If he is, God help us.

The REAL Obama/Reid/Pelosi Program

Has the last two years really been a “miserable failure”?

So the Democrats will probably lose control of the House.  Great.  See the nine points below.  The first five were done by 1935.  The next four just got finished this summer (if you really want to get heavy into it see Unqualified Reservations).

So maybe we’re going to elect 30-40 Tea Party candidates to the Congress.  I love it, but they, and we, have a little bit of a job ahead, cleansing 80 years of Aristotelian “revolution in the State.”

Better pack a fucking lunch.

Garet Garrett, 1938:

Now given — (1) the opportunity, (2) a country whose fabulous wealth was in the modern forms — dynamic, functional, non-portable, (3) a people so politically naive as to have passed a law against any attempt to overthrow their government by force — and, (4) the intention to bring about what Aristotle called a revolution in the state, within the frame of existing law — Then from the point of view of scientific revolutionary technic what would the problems be?

They set themselves down in sequence as follows:

The first, naturally, would be to capture the seat of government.

The second would be to seize economic power.

The third would be to mobilize by propaganda the forces of hatred.

The fourth would he to reconcile and then attach to the revolution the two great classes whose adherence is indispensable but whose interests are economically antagonistic, namely, the industrial wage earners and the farmers, called in Europe workers and peasants.

The fifth would be what to do with business — whether to liquidate or shackle it.

(These five would have a certain imperative order in time and require immediate decisions because they belong to the program of conquest. That would not be the end. What would then ensue? A program of consolidation. Under that head the problems continue.)

The sixth, in Burckhardt’s devastating phrase, would be “the domestication of individuality” — by any means that would make the individual more dependent upon government.

The seventh would be the systematic reduction of all forms of rival authority.

The eighth would be to sustain popular faith in an unlimited public debt, for if that faith should break the government would be unable to borrow, if it could not borrow it could not spend, and the revolution must be able to borrow and spend the wealth of the rich or else it will be bankrupt.

The ninth would be to make the government itself the great capitalist and enterpriser, so that the ultimate power in initiative would pass from the hands of private enterprise to the all-powerful state.
