The Senate has agreed to schedule a vote later this week on who should lose the Super Bowl.
While the Republican leaders have shown usual neo-con attitudes towards strength and pressure to allow the best team to win, the wise and progressive Democratic leaders have opted for a diplomatic summit between the head coaches to reach agreement on the easiest way to avoid a conflict to make sure everyone loses, but will live to play another day. Or die.
Breaking the chains of decades of tradition, the Democratic party sees their ‘new direction’ as a breakthrough in the useless violence and hopes that such a discussion between the teams can resolve what has traditionally been a harsh conflict between two competing factions that occurs every year.
In what seems to be an annual event, these men- often from differing areas- meet to battle each other in obvious sectarian violence, and while the world watches the trauma increases on both sides. Also, as a men-only event, many women’s rights groups have engaged in the edges of this potentially raging conflict. Their tactics are among the strongest- which may assure their victory- as they have adorned uniforms that consist of tight clothing and short skirts, most often camoflaged in the surroundings of the front that they are dancing (AHEM) patrolling in.
Rumors have it that often these sides spend weeks and months in secret meetings and preliminary practice exercises to attempt to insure their success.
Both sides are said to have many supporters who refuse to engage in the battle, but secretly support the efforts of one side or the other. Some make their support openly with money and support, and some secretly from the comfy cushions of their neo-con, Repulican Lazy-Boy recliners, like rich, fat-cat Monday morning quarterbacks. (this reporter isn’t sure what a “quarterback” is)
Democrats in Congress have issued lengthy condemnations of this battle, and openly support one side or the other, but won’t say which one really, just that one side shouldn’t play very long.
Republican leaders, in typical fashion, have chosen a side, but some members have not decided whether they really want to win, or maybe if they just want the game to continue to play.
This reporter has sources in both of the actual coaches offices, and both sides have said they expect victory and want to do everything possible to achieve it.
As one source said, “If you are going to fight, you have to fight to WIN !! Anything else, any thing less, anything other than a battle to the finish with our team standing as the winner…. we owe victory to our fans, our friends, our family….”
This reporter will add- we owe that to our country.

I’m just curious…. how can the people of Nebraska, who elected Tom Osborne to Congress and would never allow such wussified behavior from the Cornhuskers, have elected someone as spineless and defeatist as Chuck Hagel ?

Not much of a McCain fan either, but it’s nice to see a little offense instead of all this self-flagellation.
Republican Sen. John McCain on Tuesday accused former President Clinton, the husband of his potential 2008 White House rival, of failing to act in the 1990s to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons.
“I would remind Senator (Hillary) Clinton and other Democrats critical of the Bush administration’s policies that the framework agreement her husband’s administration negotiated was a failure,” McCain said at a news conference after a campaign appearance for Republican Senate candidate Mike Bouchard.
“The Koreans received millions and millions in energy assistance. They’ve diverted millions of dollars of food assistance to their military,” he said.
Democrats have argued President Clinton presented his successor with a framework for dealing with North Korea and the Republican fumbled the opportunity. In October 2000, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright made a groundbreaking visit to Pyongyang to explore a missile deal with Chairman Kim Jong Il. There was even talk of a visit by President Clinton.
Ahhhhhhh YES ! Another “framework” that was left for the incoming administration. Again, what also seems lost at every turn (like Rose Law Firm billing records) is that they (may have) passed along a few pages of a plan, but more importantly they passed along THE DAMN PROBLEM ! This international security kick-the-can routine is silly and childish, and the American electorate know it. Dem’s can’t be trusted with security.

Everytime I hear this “we’re creating more terrorists” stuff, I think immediately of Pat Tillman. Remember him ?
This is a guy who turned down just over a million a year to join the Army after 9/11. I know that there is some controversy about his actual war views, but it does make me wonder…. after those jackass backwards bastards hit us on 9/11, how many people in this country soon thereafter joined/re-joined the military to try and save these countries from themselves ?

Mark Steyn may be on to something here….
Almost every argument in this area isn’t “about” the war so much as whether there even is a war. As The Washington Post reported, “The Senate joined the House in embracing President Bush’s view that the battle against terrorism justifies the imposition of extraordinary limits on defendants‘ traditional rights in the courtroom.”
Well, they’re only “extraordinary” if you regard these men as traditional “defendants.” If you regard them as traditional wartime detainees — rather than O.J.s in turbans — the only “extraordinary” aspect of this is the kid gloves with which not just their Korans but the jihadists themselves are handled. This is the only war in American history in which enemy detainees have been freed before the end of hostilities. Of those released, at least 22 are known to have returned to the battlefield in Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.
The ones who remain are dangerous men, no matter how “sensitive” you are. They unscrewed the foot pads from those Asian-style toilets and used them as bludgeons to attack the guards. After listening to Pat Leahy’s contribution to the debate, I wonder if the Gitmo medical facility’s lavish team of mental health experts might not be more usefully deployed to the U.S. Senate.
HA !

Michelle Malkin is a brilliant columnist and a stand-up gal who isn’t afraid to call a spade a spade. Hat tip to her for the following link.
Not meaning to inflame this whole situation even more, but I have to say it again. You don’t protest the Pope’s ill-advised comments by killing Nuns!!!
Absolutely disgusting, unconscionable, and downright scary.

Doggone it. I never have enough time on my hands to riot in the streets over a simple, stupid comment by the Pope. Darn.
Of course, if I did, I’d be doing this. I’d rather flyfish than riot.
The Pope did say one thing that makes some sense.
“God,” the emperor, as the pope quoted, said, “is not pleased by blood — and not acting reasonably is contrary to God’s nature.”
Guess these chaps are screwed!

These are the faces of people demanding tolerance.
Has it ever occured to them to embrace modernity, start a business, build a family for purposes other than creating little suicide bombers ?
This is the “Arab street” you always hear about- and I don’t care about.
Why is it that Muslims can kill 3000 innocent Americans, and we are supposed to practice tolerance… on 9/11 Americans lit millions of flames, but they were on candles of prayer and remembrance….. the PLO/PLA Muslims danced in the streets.
The Pope says something- I repeat SAYS SOMETHING- and the Islamic fringe loses their mind. There is a fundamental disconnect here in the value of life and liberty.
This is the war against Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. And they don’t deserve negotiation, they don’t deserve dialogue… they deserve to be killed before they kill us.
If you can’t see it, you can’t be taken as a serious person. Sorry. Go to the back of the line.

Just read this whole thing and watch where it goes…. (by the way, I agree about cell phones):
I HATE CELL PHONES.
Well, hate is probably too strong a word.
No, it’s not. I hate them.
I know they’ve become as essential for all of us as deodorant and bottled water, and that without our phones, we would all sit very still for half a minute or so, then begin drumming our fingers, then roll our necks a couple of times, take a deep breath in and out, quietly whistle a bar or two of “Arriverderci, Roma,” then suddenly vault up, screaming, and dive out the nearest tenth story window.
The ones who astonish me are the people who wear hidden, hearing-aid-sized models and strut down the street yakking to no one and looking for all the world like escaped mental patients. (By the way, do we even have mental patients who escape anymore? If so, do guards in all-white uniforms still chase them down with butterfly nets? You know, where by the time they catch the guy he’s already talked himself into being the head of Ford or something? And everyone’s shocked to find out he was just crazy? On the other hand, maybe that explains why they made a car called the “Probe.”)

A breath of fresh air in the heart of Europe:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday weighed in on the controversy caused by Pope Benedict XVI in Germany earlier this week with his remarks about the concept of holy war in the Islamic faith.
In the Saturday edition of the mass-circulation Bild newspaper, Merkel defended the pope against accusations of blasphemy and provocation, saying: ‘Those who criticize the pope have misjudged the intention of his speech.’
I’m sure my most of my German friends would disagree, but that’s what makes arguing them fun.

Since when did these fanatic Islamists need any real reason to freak out ?
The furore over comments made by Pope Benedict about the Islamic concept of Holy War continues to grow. Today British Muslims joined in, fiercely criticising his remarks.
The pontiff was accused of falling into “the trap of bigots and racists” with the comments he made on a visit to Germany. 
Better step up that security though…. remember this guy ?

Mark Levin makes a great point:
If we get attacked again, we know who to blame. Not the administration, which has worked overtime to defend the homeland, but the lawyers, courts, and members of Congress who are responsible for disastrous policies that lead to situations like this — counterterrorism officials having to purchase insurance against lawsuits by, among others, terrorists.
