Tina Fey = Herm Edwards
Of all the things that can be said about Tina Fey, I swear one that should be said is the irreparable harm she has caused SNL. I swear the lengths they go to swoon over this woman who is really of moderate talent is puzzling. I align Tina Fey's reputation as the same with Herm Edwards. Everywhere Herm Edwards dropped his coaching talents the teams ended up in the gutter. I mean the only gig the guy can get now is doing color commentary for the RedSkins (which is a punishment in and of itself). How is Tina Fey not doing infomercials with Steve Guttenberg? The real story is that her brand of neo-feminism is really boring. I mean seriously if you think that "Fey has become the go-to girl to represent and illuminate the hopes, fears, and dreams of generations of women." you really need to get a life. Just sayin......

Newer, Better, with more T&A!
Golly,
What a long hiatus from the world of bloggin' and general time wasting. After posting at various other blogs, annoying people with far more talent than me, I thought I would give this a whirl once again. We will start it with things I learned this week:
1. I never knew about "gunkid" but I must say that knowing someone that is out there that is more delusional than me is comforting. It's kind of like running away from a bear and knowing that someone is slower than you. Good times!
2. Shot a shotgun side match at my local IDPA club. Got my first FTDR! I am so proud. I never knew I was capable, but it's nice to know that when I am pissed off enough I don't give a shit about coming in first.
3. Since canceling DirecTV my life has improved (not just on being $70 richer)in that I am maximizing the awesomeness of the Roku. Crackle is beyond cool and in a just world would make me cooler than the Fonz, but that ain't gonna happen.
4. The Kimber Desert Warrior is damn good .45 (with modifications), but the factory grips make it suck worse than a rap artist made to sing the Star Spangled Banner. New grips, and some decent ammo make it a winning hobby gun. Woot!
I think that will do it for a little bit. Enjoy,
ATL

Hardly "unthinkable" or even dishonorable. It is a natural occurrence for primary contenders to arise in an election even from the incumbent party. Reagen ran against Ford in '76, and Ted Kennedy ran against Carter in '80. My prediction for 2012 will be that Obama will face off with Hillary Clinton in the primary, and she might actually beat him. She has a crap load of money still sitting around and enough disgruntled Democrats who will blame Obama for their mistakes.
My prediction is this: If Hillary beats Obama it will split the Dem. Party into two factions ( kind of like in 1860 when you had Northern Democrats and Southern Democrats running). The Dem. Party will be in disarray with Obama drones abstaining from voting due to him being "robbed", and Hillary's people will try to regroup but will be unable. There is also the matter of the Clinton's unflattering portrait in "Game Change" as well as her husband. This leaves the middle open for a viable candidate to come in and work centrists and conservatives on domestic issues like taxes, limited government , and American exceptionalism. Issues that will be muted and derided by the Obama Administration for the next 2 years. The real issue is not whether Obama or Clinton will be able to win (they won't by themselves- too much baggage and broken promises), but whether the challenger in the race will be able to effectively seize upon the apparent disconnect Obama now has the public. If the challenger cannot seize upon it, the public will default to the incumbent (Obama). In reality what this says is we cannot afford a Dole or McCain in the next election we must pick someone with some stones who isn't afraid of criticism. What we need is someone who has worked in a Governor's role who has significant executive experience, and has a serious track record of reform against corruption and waste. Not many have that: Giuliani does, so does Palin, Tim Pawlenty does not. A case could be made for Bobby Jindal, but I don't think he has the name recognition yet among centrists. Overall, time is on our side, and not on Obama's. His hundred days is long over and the only thing he has managed to do is pass his "stimulus" bill, and pass Obamacare which is highly unpopular. Outside of that he has nothing but a series of missteps (Olympics, Copenhagen Climate conference, Cap and Trade attempts). This isn't shaping up well at all for him.

Nicholas Sparks proves that women are dumb enough to read the same book, and watch the same movie over and over and over .....Men never do this.
What time is the Dirty Dozen coming on?

Sexless Blue Devils
Back in the day, I went to a party at Duke. The chicks there were so frigid that I figured out that the Blue in Blue Devils most likely came from frostbite. Now that sex is illegal there, maybe they will start to warm up. In all seriousness, what business is it of the university to tell adults who they can and cannot sleep with?
Green......peace?
So the climate 'progressives" are ratcheting up their hissy fit after the Kenyan tanked in Copenhagen.
Check this screed which they have "taken down."
“We know who you are. know where you live. We know where you work. And we be many, but you be few.”
So they know where I live? Where I work? I wonder if they know my group at 25-100 yds? Seriously, this is the type of crap that can discredit a movement, even one as lame as Greenpeace. Their disclaimer leaves little to be desired.
"Well, we’ve taken down that post from our website. It’s very easy to misconstrue that line, take it out of context and suggest it means something wholly different from the practice of peaceful civil disobedience, which is what the post was about. Anyone who knows Gene knows he’s an entirely peaceful guy. In the interest of transparency we have moved it off site to this location, where you can read the offending quotes in context and judge for yourself".
What I want to know is what "We know where you live" is meant to convey? Are they stopping by for tea and crumpets? Do they want a beer? Seriously, what is that supposed to mean? His entire article was open-ended on actions that need to be taken, and to do so outside of the law. When the "context' is lawlessness, anything goes. Animosity is rooted in the greek nomos meaning law, the a on the front end implies the absence. That is in essence what his action implies- outlaws have no law except for the ones they deem "necessary."

If I can vote, why can't I have a beer?
The 21 drinking age is a dinosaur and should be repealed at the state level. If you can engage in adult responsibilities (like joining the army or law enforcement), why can't you purchase and consume alcohol? In the video notice how the argument is framed as a "public health" issue and not one of responsibilities by the prohibition guild MADD.
