Planet of the Liberals?

Townhall Opinion Alert columnist

Burt Prelustky

put it best today in his column.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a liberal, and to have self- righteous blowhards like Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd and Charles Schumer, speaking for me. And then I wake up screaming.

That sums up what I think as well. Read the rest, it's well worth it.

Idiot

I just found out from

Lair

that I need to post on the picks INDIVIDUALLY in order for it to count. I also need to do it on the Dead Pool site.

Duly noted, and the round-up post has been deleted, as it was a waste of time.

For all the dads out there

I have a question to pose to you dads who read this blog; what do you do if your daughter decides to marry someone for love?

If you were normal, you might be mad if the guy is a "dirt bag", in your opinion, or overjoyed if you like your son-in-law.

In Pakistan, though, you

murder

her, and possbibly any sisters she has.

This just makes me sick.

I thought fathers were supposed to protect their daughters from this sort of thing, not kill them because they make you look bad.

I also thought the reason people get married are because they love eachother and want to spend the rest of their lives together, not because their parents micromanage every aspect of their lives.

For a while I joked about trying arranged marriage because I wanted to be settled down with a family by now, but I really despise it. I am not a big fan of the idea that who you are going to be spending the rest of your life with is decided as a child by your parents.

I guess that's just my evil Western attitude.

Merry Christmas

1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2.(And this taxing was first made when Cyreneus was governor of Syria).
3. And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazereth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethelehem.
5. To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child.
6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered
7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; for there was no room for them in the inn.
8. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shown round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
12. "And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
14. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men".
15. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which has come to pass, which the Lord hath made know unto us."
16. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them, concerning this child.
18. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19. But Mary kept these things and pondered them in her heart.
20. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the that why had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Luke 2:1-20 (KJV)

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

There's a reason I changed my major...

And this is just as good as any.

="http://news.yahoo.com/fc/US/Church___State_Issues/">Teaching intelligent design

is now banned in public schools in Pennsylvania.

Why?

It's "unconstitutional".

How?

It breeches the division between church and state.

Where in the Constituion was it? I don't see it anywhere. All I see is that there isn't any official religion.

For those of you wondering exactly what intelligent design is, it's basically the teaching that someone bigger than us made us.

Well, duh.

For me, I'm a Creationist. I believe what is said in Genesis is exactly what happened. I was taught it in school (I went to a Christian school K-8, and was home-schooled through high school). I wanted to become a high school teacher, but decided to change over to business management.

Now I'm glad I did.

A little late decorating

I decided to to a little late Christmas decorating, as evidenced by the nativity scene on the right side of my blog. I got it courtesy of

Jay

at Stop the ACLU.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but it just isn't Christmas unless you see a Nativity scene somewhere. I remember across the street from my old church, one of the members that lived across the street always put theirs out, without fail, just after Thanksgiving, and put it back right around Epiphany, which is January 6. Anyhow, I just figured I should put it up.

Uh oh...

It looks like one of my picks, Gerald Ford, is

in the hospital

Oh, but guess what?

Ford, 92, was admitted to Eisenhower Medical Center late Monday and was expected to be released Wednesday, spokeswoman Penny Circle said from Ford's Rancho Mirage office about 110 miles east of Los Angeles

Let's hope that he sticks around for at least another 18 days, 19 to be on the safe side.

I want to get at least one score this year.

The Intifada is moving

It looks like the Intifadas that happened last month in France and Belgium have

moved Down Under

This is what happens when you ban private ownership of weapons, and when immigrants won't assimilate into their new society. So liberals, take note. Do you really want riots to happen? No? Then don't take away our weapons, for one thing.

Leave to him...

Saddam is turning his war-crimes trial into

a three-ring circus

First, his lawyers drop like flies, then there's Ramsey Clark with his non-defense of "this whole thing is illegal", Saddam tells the judge to "go to hell", and now...

he decides not to show up

Here's the kicker as to why...

He hasn't gotten any clean underwear!!!

There are a few things that you can do about that.

Buy some more, wash what you have, or (the gross option) go commando.

Can't we just shoot him and get it overwith?

Bloody surveys...

I got this food questionaire from

Elisson

I saw it and just had to participate.

I’ve shown my preferences in boldface, with commentary as appropriate.

CHEESE or CHOCOLATE? No contest. It's more nurtitious, and I'm not that big of a chocolate person
BLUEBERRIES or STRAWBERRIES? No contest, for me.

COFFEE or TEA? Coffee gets the nod, but I like ’em both.

CORN MUFFIN or ENGLISH MUFFIN? English Muffins rule!!
PANCAKES or FRENCH TOAST? If I gotta choose.

YOGURT or CREAM CHEESE? If I’m eating it by itself.

RICE or PASTA?

CAKE or PIE?

GROUND BEEF or GROUND TURKEY? Turkey's a lot better, nad my mom got me hooked on it ever since she went on Weight Watchers

HOT DOGS or HAMBURGERS?
JELLY or MARMALADE? Was never big on oranges...

AMERICAN CHEESE or SWISS CHEESE?

DIET SODA or NO SODA? I'd rather go without than to be subjected to that diet crap!!
LEMONADE or ICED TEA? Why not both at the same time, Mr. Palmer?

CHERRIES or GRAPES?

CHOCOLATE QUIK or STRAWBERRY QUIK? You gotta be fucking kidding.

WAFFLES or PANCAKES? Aw, c’mon, I gotta pick just one?

WHITE BREAD or WHOLE-GRAIN/WHEAT BREAD?

PEAS or CARROTS? I like ’em both.

PUDDING or FRUIT-FLAVORED GELATIN? They're both good

COLD CEREAL or HOT CEREAL? Again, I like ’em both.

KETCHUP or MUSTARD? Mustard stings my lips, with the exception of hot dogs.
MUSTARD or MAYONNAISE? See above.

MAYONNAISE or KETCHUP? You had to make me choose...
BLACK OLIVES or GREEN OLIVES? GAAAAAHHH!!!! Neither
ONION or GARLIC? Can't stand either one.

PLAIN BARBECUE or BARBECUE WITH SAUCE? Assuming you mean beef brisket or sausage. Ribs, I prefer without the goop.

SCRAMBLED EGGS or FRIED EGGS?

EGGS or EGG REPLACEMENTS?

MEAT or VEGETABLES? No frickin’ contest. A Vegan I’m not.

CHINESE TAKE-OUT or PIZZA? I know, Chinese would be healthier...
SUSHI or DELI SANDWICH? Never had sushi, but the thought of eating food that should probably be cooked grosses me out.

WHITE CLAM CHOWDER or RED CLAM CHOWDER?
KEY LIME PIE or LEMON MERINGUE PIE?
PIE & ICE CREAM or CAKE & ICE CREAM?
WHIPPED CREAM or CAKE FROSTING?
HONEY or MAPLE SYRUP?

Another year, another dead pool

Today is December 1.

Do you know what that means?

Time for another

Dead Pool

!!!

Yes, His Royal Crappieness, Laurence Simon, is accepting rosters for the 2006 Dead Pool.

This is going to be my first year on the Dead Pool, so it should be interesting to see how long it takes for somebody on my roster to die.

Here's how it works:
-You pick fifteen people. They must be human, and at least eighteen years old. The best picks would be ones who are old, in failing health, are living too close to the edge, or you just plain hate.
-Throughout the year, you watch to see who dies.
-You win prizes!!
-You must blog about these people at least once a month.

If you are blogging, and are interested, click on the link above.

One score and one years ago today...

Another Annoying Little Twit came into the world!!!
Twenty-one years ago today, at 6:30 A.M, I was born by Caesarian section at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, Illinois. Two weeks later, I was baptized Jennifer Leah Clark at Emmaus Lutheran Church in Chicago.

I will be celebrating with my best friend, Barb (a.k.a,

annoyinglittletwerp

at an Irish pub in downtown Chicago. I am not going to get crazy, and yes, I will eat something. I may be reletively new to drinking, but I am not stupid.

Well, well, well

A lot of people questioned my decision to

root for the Angels

in the playoffs.

All I have to say is

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?????

Yes, the Angels tied up series Wednesday night, beating the Bronx Buffoons 5-3.

I just hope Randy Johnson has a bad night and they walk all over him.

Let's break out the rally monkeys and win it all, like we did three years ago.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Happy Days Are Here!!!

John Roberts is now

Chief Justice Roberts

. The Senate voted to confirm him 78-22. The naysayers included the regular suspects (Boxer, Durbin, Kennedy, Kerry, Obama, Schumer).

Hopefully, this will turn things around (meaning, Roe v. Wade among other things) and get the SCOTUS to clean up their act.

I can hardly wait for him to get to work.

It's Gotten Worse

Rita has been

uprgraded to a Catergory 4

and is paced to make landfall on the southwestern coast of Texas (Houston, Galveston, et al) Friday night.

My advice to everyone in the area; pack up what you need to (clothes, hygeine items, medicines, any pet needs, etc) and get the hell out of there.

NOW.

And

Laurence

, this means you as well.

I Am At a Loss Right Now

I don't know what to say about these, these... I don't know what to even call them.

Alan

has the scoop on these shits for brains, saying that our brave men and women who got wounded and are recovering at Walter Reed are getting maimed and killed for Halliburton.

Frankly, I want to grab my M-16A2 and tell them exactly what I think about every single one of them. Not to kill them, mind you, just make them run for their lives.

Something personal

I have a friend who is on his way to Kuwait as we speak. His name is Senior Airman (soon to be Staff Segeant)Brian Struc. He is in the Illinois Air National Guard, testing airplane parts to ensure their safety and that none of the pilots crash.

His orders say that he is going to be there for sixty days, which means that he will be coming home (hopefully) in October, sometime around my birthday (my birthday is the twelfth, so that would be the best birthday present I could get, I think.).

In the meantime, all I am asking of all of you is that you keep Brian in his prayers, if you are the type to do so. Heaven knows I am. I just want him to get there safe, get done what he needs to get done, and then get home safe.

That is all. I will get to posting something of substance when I have the time and in the mood to do so.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. He is turning 62 today.

Let me tell you a little bit about my dad. William Boyd Clark (or Bill, as most people know him) was born in 1943 on the West Side of Chicago, the fifth of nine children, and the last to marry, oddly enough. He was almost eleven months old on D-Day, and two years old the last time the Cubs won the pennant. His mom, Clara, was a second generation German-American (her parents, Herman and Augusta Schliebe, came over at the turn of the 20th century and settled in South Dakota). His dad, Hillery, was of Irish and English heritage.

He got drafted into the Army in 1965, and served as a parts specialist until 1967 (yes, he spent some time in Vietnam). After he got out, he got a job at Howell Tractor, and has worked their ever since, with the exception of a brief time off in Oregon between 1989 and 1991 (I'll explain that to you another time).

He married my mom, Patricia, on October 17, 1981. He was 38, and my mom was almost 24 (her birthday was nine days later). He had to have an operation in order for me and my little sister, Roberta, to be here. He had it, and was an overjoyed father when I was born on October 12, 1984, and my sister Christmas Day of 1987.

He is really old-fashioned, which drives me crazy at times. He also is the one who nearly hit the roof when I told him I was going to enlist, but was also the first one to greet me with a coat when I came home for good after finishing my training. He was also the one who, when I returned home late, spent most of the night searching for me, and then going to the police station to see if I had gotten into a crash and wasn't able to call them.

I found out an alarming statistic the other day. Less than half of all kids today live in a household where the father is present. In a lot of ways, I am lucky to have him.

Above is a picture of me with him that was taken sometime during the summer of 1985. Nothing big, just a picture of a daddy and his little girl on a summer day.

So, again, happy birthday Dad. I love you.

This Makes Me So Mad

This just angers me so much. A San Francisco police officer lies in a hospital bed in serious condition with brain swelling and a blood clot because of some anarchist thugs. I got the scoop from

Michelle Malkin

I hope that his condition is improving, and that if he dies as a result of his injuries (God forbid), these imbeciles get charged with second-degree murder.
