Live Blogging the Delaware game

Ok, so I’m sitting over at Von Crackers house.  You know rocking it out hand down my pants, ate a pound of nachos, just finished my first 6 pack, ready to get lit up type of afternoon with a few del lib readers tailgate party and Von Cracker made an observation about the ESPN signs.  I first commented, “seriously what freaking idiot brings an ESPN sign to a game.”

In a moment of enlightenment in my eyes Von Cracker says, “They are plants.  They make the signs and give them to some idiot and say ‘hold this and you will get on TV'” So I say to myself on my 7th beer.  That has to be the most brilliant statement of the year!

I had never given that much thought.  I just wrote it off to some idiot taking an hour or two of their night before the game, over weight loser that has nothing better to do with their life, ignore their children, fart in their barco lounger, ignore their wife type of idiot that has nothing better to do with their lives then route for a small college team that you would spend time making a freaking sign.

So from now on when some idiot holds up a sign it will be because ESPN gave them the sign.

Brilliant (after 8 beers now)

The War on Christmas: New Allies

I am pleased to announce that the War on Christmas has turned the corner.  It turns out that we have a lot in common with Santa.  He has been a constant source of irritation for those that would want less commercialism at Christmastime.  We have found common ground with him and have forged a treaty with the “Northern Alliance.”  We feel that with his global reach and advanced technology, Christmas should fall by the end of the month.

Santa has already agreed to change his signature “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night” to a more pleasing “Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night.”

As part of the agreement, we will push for “Silver Bells” to replace “Away in the Manger” at all caroling events.

The Part That Really Irks Me About the Huckabee Rapist

So I don’t think we have really covered the issue here this week, but there is a Willie Horton in Mike Huckabee’s closet. The Huffington Post has had some excellent coverage, but I’ve stayed clear of it. But I’m starting to see Huckabee in the light of one of the most awful policy trends in the past decade. Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS). We have seen this happen several times in the past and here it is again.

First W. gave so little credence to Clinton that he considered the threat of al Qaeda seemed overblown. Now Huckabee appears to have let a convicted rapist go mostly because the rapist had raped one of Clintons relatives(the rapist went on to rape and murder another woman), so it surely had to be a set up. The fact that Huckabee was swayed by the kind of lunatics that put out videos about the people that Clinton had murdered says something about Huckabee.

I’m not in favor of dragging out the Willie Horton’s in a Governor’s past but this murderer says way more about Huckabee then Willie Horton ever said about Dukakis.  The next question is whether Democrats will be so blinded by Bush hate that they miss the one or two things that he actually has done right.
