There is one version of the Soviet anthem that works - the one from the Hunt for the Red October. It was totally befitting of that movie and how it was done.

There's another version that is more in tune with Obama. That's the one that was missung by Nikolai Volkoff in the old WWF days.

So are Russian oligarchs supporting Obama ?

Junior Walker - Way Back Home

A Day in the Life of a Superdelegate

Lalalala, a nice Wednesday evening, and tomorrow is my 26th wedding anniversary. I still get butterflies when he comes home. Sigh!

John McCain FINALLY gave me a reason to vote for him (as opposed for just voting against the Dem):

The Obama campaign has been in disarray over the candidate's confusion on Iran, Lebanon, Hezbollah and Hamas. Not to mention the number of states in the union. Michelle Malkin provides a useful summary of Obama's recent blunders.

Today, John McCain responded to Obama's insults in a more serious way, releasing a statement that included the following paragraphs:

After Senator Obama's own advisors and supporters backtracked from his stated desire to hold summit meetings with the leaders of the world's worst regimes, Senator Obama himself has begun to reinterpret his stand. He now claims that some 'fear' to 'negotiate' with the likes of Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who has called Israel a 'stinking corpse' or Ayatollah Khamenei, who called Israel a 'cancerous tumor.' I have news for Senator Obama: I have met some very bad people before in my life. It is not fear that drives my opposition to unconditional meetings with Ahmadinejad, Khamenei, Kim Jong Il, and Raul Castro; rather it is my clear understanding that such a course will fail to eliminate the threat posed by these rogue regimes. I don't fear to negotiate. Instead I have the knowledge and experience to understand the dangerous consequences of a naive approach to Presidential summits based entirely on emotion.

The question before the American people is which candidate is best able to secure the peace for the next generation of Americans, a peace that will keep our nation safe, prosperous and free. Senator Obama's desire to meet unconditionally in his first year at the presidential level with Iranian leaders is reckless, and demonstrates poor judgment that will make the world more dangerous.

Senator Obama has consistently offered his judgment on Iraq, and he has been consistently wrong. He said that General Petraeus' new strategy would not reduce sectarian violence, but would worsen it. He was wrong. He said the dynamics in Iraq would not change as a result of the 'surge.' He was wrong. One year ago, he voted to cut off all funds for our forces fighting extremists in Iraq. He was wrong. Sectarian violence has been dramatically reduced, Sunnis in Anbar province and throughout Iraq are cooperating in fighting al Qaeda in Iraq, and Shi'ite extremist militias no longer control Basra -- the Maliki government and its forces do. British and Iraqi forces now move freely in areas that were controlled by Iranian-backed militias. The fight against al Qaeda in Mosul is succeeding in further weakening that deadly terrorist group, and many key leaders have been killed or captured. .. Iraqi forces have moved unopposed into Sadr City, a development the New York Times characterized today as a 'dramatic turnaround' as the government of Prime Minister Maliki 'advanced its goal of establishing sovereignty and curtailing the powers of the militias.'

We continue to face challenges in Iraq, and we have a lot of work ahead. Yet the American people must ask whether we are more or less likely to succeed there if Senator Obama has his way. Each of these positive developments in Iraq is the direct result of the new strategy that Senator Obama opposed. Senator Obama consistently predicted the new strategy would fail, and at every step events have demonstrated his judgment was consistently wrong. He now says that he intends to withdraw combat troops from Iraq -- one to two brigades per month until they are all removed -- regardless of the conditions in Iraq, irrespective of the consequences for our national security, and despite the best advice of our commanders on the ground. He is wrong again, and the American people deserve a President who has the strength, judgment and experience to keep our country safe and secure.

Tough stuff, and, unlike Obama's flights of fancy and historical revisionism, it has the added virtue of being true.

They never give up this easy. There is absolutely no way Hillary is going to roll over for an upstart Senator and allow him to take,what she no doubt sees as,her rightful place at the helm.

re: #44 least

Yes, as a matter of fact, there is.

Several things in fact:
1) Fire can indeed melt steel.
2) (a) That there is an Islamic terrorist group known as al Qaeda, and (b) that it was behind 9/11.
3) Bush didn't lie about Iraq.
4) A policy dispute is not grounds for impeachment no matter how much you bray in public.

I could go on, but you get the point.

What makes think she is not going to roll over play dead, is that she is still lending her personal money to her campaign.

re: #50 buzzsawmonkey

If he gets the proper number of votes before the convention, what is "major dirt" going to do?

At this point, Obama would have to be caught buggering an underage goat at high noon in Macy's window--and even then, it is doubtful that he would step down.

because no matter what he will not have enough pledge delegates from the primaries and caucuses. It is ONLY with super delegates that he can win. They are NOT locked in.

I hope that they understand that they have relegated the Republican party to minority status for the next 20-30 years.

I think most of the un-declared super delegates have already decided to go for Obama, but they're too scared of alienating the Hillary supporters in their own neck of the woods. Or they're Clinton supporters and are scared of backlash from Obama supporters.

Der Spiegel Interviews Qabir Bashir Haqqani, Taliban Commander...

'What's Important Is to Kill the Germans'

SPIEGEL ONLINE: How do you justify the fact that suicide bombers also kill thousands of innocent civilians, most of them faithful Afghan Muslims?

Haqqani: We do not justify it, Islam does. Even if the head of state promised him millions of dollars, you couldn't convince someone in Germany to kill his enemy by conducting a suicide attack. But in our region we have a culture of jihad and with a single call and within a single day, dozens would be ready. We didn't attack any other country. We are only defending our own country. We are confident that we will win this war sooner or later. We are prepared for a war that could last a few decades, but we are sure that the West will start to leave Afghanistan in 2010 and that many countries will pull their troops out.

I have never yet seen a Spike Lee movie that was well written, coherently edited, well shot, or decently paced. Do the Right Thing came close, but its dimwitted racism and its inability to decide whether it was going to be funny or A Big Important Statement ultimately did it in. Jungle Fever, Mo' Better Blues, School Daze and She's Gotta Have It were garbage. Mo' Better Blues had the extra added bonus of wallowing in antisemitic stereotypes.

By the time he came out with his Malcolm X movie I had decided that life was too short to waste on this no-talent racist hack.

Open thread? Ahhhh...A Story From the Tire Store (today)...

So, I went to the local tire store today; on the TV was BHO on CNN, speaking in Tampa, FL, with the character generator's sub-text, "Obama speaking...after win in Oregon." Two people were in the waiting room, a man and a woman, watching the speech and each telling how much they love Obama and support him. "Change we can believe in...", etc., etc. The woman said, "The planet could use a man like him." (She didn't specify which planet.)

I mentioned that the CNN graphic could just have well have read, "Obama, speaking after big loss in Kentucky." The woman got a funny expression on her face. "He lost Kentucky?" To which the man responded, "Yeah, by, like, a 2 to 1 margin...but, he's in Florida now. I wonder when the Florida primary is..."

I thought, 'You two are the reason our founding fathers felt the need for an Electoral College.'

Looking back: neither of them heard a word Barak was saying--the prattled through the whole speech. I was trying to listen, 'cause Barak is the gift that keeps on giving.

Detainee dragged to Gitmo war crimes court

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - An Afghan detainee was dragged from his cell to his first pretrial hearing at Guantanamo on Wednesday, then refused to participate, telling the judge he felt "helpless."

Mohammed Kamin joined a growing detainee boycott of the war-crimes trials at the Guantanamo Bay Navy base in southeast Cuba. The military judge, Air Force Col. W. Thomas Cumbie, said Kamin tried to bite and spit on a guard on the way to the courtroom.

Missed that one. I might look at it--but I wouldn't cross the street to do it.

Can't blame you there, but I am a fan of WW2 movies and will probably go see this new one if it makes it to the light of day.

re: #139 svines

Drudge says that McCain is spending the weekend with Charlie Crist, Mitt Romney, and Bobby Jindal... supposedly to evaluate them as VP picks.

I could get excited about Jindal

re: #148 cookielady

A whole peanut?

A big one?

I'm tired.

re: #40 cookielady

Lalalala, a nice Wednesday evening, and tomorrow is my 26th wedding anniversary. I still get butterflies when he comes home. Sigh!

Ah, tomorrow is my daughter (34) and my son's (37) birthdays. Happy anniversary to you!

re: #137 Lucius Septimius

You know what I'm going to say...

..your and your family are in my prayers.

re: #140 Lucius Septimius

She's a weird chick. No, really -- Hewlett Packard aside.

Why was she voted out at HP? My swiss cheese brain can't remember....

re: #139 svines

Me too. I keep thinking that maybe someone will come along, kinda like a Newt Gingrich in his conservatism, that will strike a chord with conservatives, but it may be a long time in coming.

I hope I live long enough to see it, and see the country come to its senses.

Newt in '012! Newt doesn't have all the answers but he is full of ideas and energy. Can't think of a better candidate, he does carry some political baggage though!

re: #152 justdanny

Ah Danny, eat some food and then rest.

Me, too! but I was hoping to see what he could do with Louisiana first. They could really use him, ya know?

re: #154 goddessoftheclassroom

Thanks -- it means a lot.

re: #158 schultzw

Jindal would be super!

I'd be geeking out at that one.

re: #123 cookielady

what are you drinking and are you getting up btw posts and dancing around, like you're in a musical?

Hang in there!

You can have a whole handful of peanuts.

But no more rhymes, now, I mean it!

re: #158 schultzw

Jindal is good. Personally, I'd recommend John Bolton. That should cause some moonbat head-popping.

Stock price too low.

Someone up above suggested a war movie about the 442d Regimental Combat Team (Nisei). It's been done. Don't remember the title. Might have been "Go For Broke." Starred Van Johnson, I believe.

re: #153 imtoast

Ah, tomorrow is my daughter (34) and my son's (37) birthdays. Happy anniversary to you!

Now that's the way to keep all the birthdays straight. Why didn't I think of that?

And thanks!

re: #165 SlartyBartfast

Bolton would make me cry tears of elation

re: #103 cookielady

As the Clintons would say, I feel your pain.

I will continue to hold my nose and vote for the sorta-could-be-if-they-wanted-to be-Republican party. I can only hope that the election goes so well that we don't lose 50 more house seats and 20 more senate seats.

I really worry about this country. I know that it would take a lot to bring it to total ruin, but the Democrats are sure trying.

re: #168 OldLineTexan

Ayup, that'll do it.

re: #147 Ojoe

Except you cannot get any more information from them that way.

They haven't supplied much info and the negative propaganda doesn't help our cause. It doesn't help that every liberal lawyer is begging to defend them pro-bono. Field executions would have saved a lot of grief to America's image. PS. I am against water boarding also. Torture is torture, no matter how valid the reason...

re: #151 Ojoe

i'm enjoying you're intense preoccupation w/ food, food stuffs, food quantities.
i'm so annoyed at this crazy rationing proposal from hussein. he's fcking nuts.
uh oh, i said a food item. run w/ it.

re: #173 OldLineTexan

re: #162 nyc redneck

LOL! No, just sitting here impatiently hitting the new comments button over and over, and laughing out loud at stuff. Sometimes one just wishes to be lighthearted for a while, doesn't one? (proper grammar in honor of goddessoftheclassroom)

Well, maybe a little dancing around...

don't you think that by that time the damage will have already been done, now that we been circlin' the socialist toilet bowl for some ...ohh..16+ years...

show me a country that has become a socialist nanny state then went back to a representative republic with a conservative base and I'll be more optimistic..

re: #176 LoFlyer

The torture issue is such a political football.

I have no doubt that if it were really necessary, the torture would be done as a field decision, and not much about it, the knowledge of it let us say, would get out.

What's really scary is that they try with a little help from their friends (our enemies).

re: #146 rightymouse

It shouldn't though. Whatever happened to Statesmen? People of principle?

Sir Winston died in 1965, Ronald Reagan in 2004, hopefully in about 40 years, another name will be added.

if you listen to the MSM you would come to the conclusion that the Tuskegee airman were the only pilots during ww2.

one thing to mention there role but there is a thing as over correcting for current P.C. HISTORY.

One more poem
And I go home.

re: #122 Yankee Division Son

Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me...

-Billy Joel

A long time ago, Dr Demento played a song that went something like
"What's the matter with the song that he's singing
Can't you tell that it's pretty lame
After listening to a couple of albums
It all starts to sound the same

... It's still Billy Joel to me

And includes the lines
Maybe he could dye his hair bright pink
and stick a safety pin through his cheeks
Then he'd really fit the new wave image
But he couldn't sit down for weeks.

I think it got played once before someone threatened a lawsuit or something; luckily I taped it.

re: #150 GoJeepGo

I could get excited about him too. When I lived in New Orleans (actually Kenner) he ran for office on getting things done, and taking on the corruption in politics. The people there are really starving for good government as they have never had it.

I could also go for Mitt because of his business sense. I only wish he wasn't as flip-flopish on issues as he as been.

I suspect Jindal may want to continue as Governor as he can really make a mark for himself there and run for president in 8 years.

that it all has more to do with current politics than the history of the war in question.

I went out in my shirt
And played some in the dirt
While the neighbor girl did flirt
With her frilly skirt
And showing of things pert
Until her husband made curt
Our game, that squirt,
But I hit him with my yurt
Until his eyeballs hurt.

re: #172 svines

I personally don't think it would be all that difficult. As a matter of fact, we can even see it from where we sit.

That's earthy, all right.

Dirty, even.

I wish I could show you the state you mention, but I can't. But I do hold out hope that some of the young people are beginning to see the evil that taking mans initiative to be responsible for himself away can do.

Well, they seemed to not believe that there was anything wrong with the president of the United States doing nookie with a 20 year intern in the Oval Office while talking on the phone with a senator.

Yeah, he doesn't have any executive experience (that I know of) but his grasp of foreign policy is without peer.

Song from the '30s:

Potatoes are cheaper, tomatoes are cheaper
Now's the time to fall in love
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
Gave the price a downward shove
Get yourself someone to fry your eggs and bacon
She can live just like a queen on what you're makin'
'Cause this and that's a lot cheaper, a flat's a lot cheaper
Now's the time to fall in love!

ha ha ha ha ha, i love that one.

re: #204 rawmuse

I agree with you on your point. However, I honestly believe that we don't lose support on our conservative ideals, we lose when our leadership strays from them.

Bobby Jindal, if he holds to his ideals will be an excellent president some day. We just have to work to elect better members for congress. We continually shoot our selves in the foot by electing good talkers, and bad doers.

I will continue to support my party, and will (reluctantly I might add) contribute money to get McCain elected.

The 92nd ID's performance in the Italian Campaign was not always stellar, but I'm sure Spike will re-write that part of history. Around the middle of February 1945 the 92nd was reported as being mauled by some of Kesserling's German forces.

Seeing Lucius here and knowing he has a wee lil' one at home, in light of today's discovery of the Nuclear baby, it made me wonder what awfulness would await the one who had to change the nappies of the lil' Nuke infant...

I've changed a lil' one after he ate raisins, and that was darned near close to nuclear, I must say.

In our family, after the baby sitter gave our oldest one a full jar of strained blueberries, the "blueberry poo" has become the stuff of legend.

What is a nuclear baby? Does he glow in the dark? Does he convert his formula to cheap energy? Does he have a special birthmark?

Oh goodness, that was one heck of a weird thing. Shep Smith on Fox had on this wacko cult leader from Texas who prophesied that soon there will be born a "Nuclear Baby" who will herald the beginning of the end times. Wait, let me find the link to their website.

BTW - Nuclear Baby looks like Chuckie the doll from those awful movies in the 90's.

Here it is. Enjoy.

I actually gave McCain $150 to get an autographed copy of his book. When he's president, or years later, it could be worth much more.
On the other hand, if Obama's elected, it will be a one-way ticket to the re-education camps. But I think I end up there anyway.
