Put Your Drink Down

So George sent me a link to this story and warned me to scroll all the way through and to put my drink down before doing so. It seemed innocuous enough.

Perhaps it was the barnstorming convention speech from the self-styled 'pitbull in lipstick'. Or perhaps it was the appeal of the already iconic 'up-do' hairstyle and schoolmarm glasses.

Either way, Sarah Palin's explosive arrival on the big stage of American politics last week has shaken up the race for the White House in dramatic fashion.

Last night a new survey revealed that white women voters in America have abandoned Barack Obama to side with John McCain since he named mother-of-five Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.

Denny thank you for the warning to put my drink down. Seeing that last picture i would have spit it all over my puter. I am concerned that Obama will feel left out because the whole article was not about him so I have a suggestion. Lets have a Mister Obamahead contest. You have posters take a mister potatohead, put the biggest ears you can find on it, make up the rest to look like Obama and send in a picture. might be fun. Thanks for a fun blog.

Continue reading WHAT? There was no hot-link TO reading further!

I met, on our neighborhood street tonight, my OWN Sara Palin! And Surprise of all SURPRISE! She's relatively new to the Neighborhood and is one HOT Democrat!

She first was attracted, she said, that when driving up our hill, she wondered who or whom lived in the house with the 'precison breakout' of all the recycle-ables by the curb on Tuesday morning's.

Long story short: She's sharp, she's informed, she READS & she's damn pretty!

Lest you think I'm in love or lust, I beeped at her on my way home from winning (5-0) the pool-playing Championship here in Bread & Circus County, Jawja. I thought she was my Republican Neighbor's Daughter changing her persona once again.

'Christina' turns out to be Sara Palin on steroids! And she lives right down the hill, across the street, and RIVALS me in our street-posted signs in how badly y'all are falling for outright LIES as McSame trades his very-last shred of Honor in order to fulfill his delusions fostered from his ... (are you ready?) from his days spent under torture that don't even measure up to what GWB authorizes this very day!

Y'all g'wan and have your Fun! I'm smug enuff, tight-lipped 'enuff to say to you:

"Hide 'n WATCH!"

And it won't hurt you a bit; indeed, will GIVE -YOU- TAX RELIEF if you, all by your own lonesome, earn less than $255K/Year!

Y'all don't seem to have the time within a day to research & knock-down all the fucking BULLSHIT that passes for a program from McSame/Palin.

Care for a little lipstick when a Professor of Constitutional Law finds himself up against the Gal who already knows She can't pass the Class?

From my perspective, as a college professor for well-on 28 years, the 'hard' part is going to be when She has to be informed that She did not meet the requirements and She is not going to pass.

I will compliment her on her ability to fart like a moose.

McSame taught me that such was viable-ground for electing a P/VP.

Hey! What was Gas/p/Gal when Bush II took office?

I'll answer my own question: $1.15/9.

You want 'more of the same'? Go ahead and vote McPalin!

I'll take a Constitutional Law Professor over the POW who wasn't even tortured under the current standard of torture.

***WARNING*** More PDS on the horizon ***WARNING***

You've been warned. DanS is off the deep end. Possibly off the wagon. ***WARNING***

Boy, this is really going to be an entertaining next 54/55 days to say the least. Between JHE, DanS, and TDHO, I'm prolly gonna go broke buying all this popcorn and beer!

Wow DanS. As a Viet Nam Veteran yourself, it really blows me away that you would take a shot at McCain like that.

You libs have lost it completely...

"white women voters in America have abandoned Barack Obama to side with John McCain"

Sounds about racist and sexist enough to me to be a decent Republican talking point.

"Hey White Women! When did you decide to be White"?

"Hey White Women! When did you decide to be Women"?

I know you both (White and Woman), want someone Male to 'decide' for you, but in my household it just doesn't work like that.

We go Obama here based on the merit rather than the bombast, lies, innuendo, and slur.

Hey White Woman! When did you decide to be White Women?

OH! You DIDN'T decide? It was just an accident of Birth? And you bought into it as some sort of birth-right?

Whoever places a right-hand upon either a Koran or a Bible on Jan 20 2009 is going to have to swear alligience to "Defending and Protecting the Constitution of the United States of America" rather than the tree-folk or the Katrina or the rich or the poor or the sick, halt or lame; Republicans just don't seem to understand this.

They seem to think the Constitution is nothing more than it's "Us Vs. Them" for any given politcal-cycle.

And that's not only sad; it's wrong, it's counter-productive, and it denigrates the ENTIRE rest of the World.

SEVEN FUCKING YEARS AGO TO THIS DATE I WEIGHED-IN AND TOLD YOU EXACTLY WHAT WOULD TRANSPIRE!

Then, you called me a 'Cassandra'; then, you questioned my Patriotism. Then, you called me names and and questioned my sanity.

Well, I stand by my record; with all that such implies.

It's now 9/11; Seven years later, YOU and your ilk have been proven to 'buy-into' outright LIES! Indeed, so-called Teacher's are still swearing and teaching that Saddam blew up (or even had any remote-part in) blowing up NYC and more.

That's not because THEY are stupid, but because you WANT them to be suchly Stupid.

Well-Done! Mission Accomplished! Ya Done GOOD!

Have a beer! Pat yourself on the Back! This 9/11, congratulate yourselves on how well you have thouroughly FUCKED the basic-good-Humanity that is America.

Yes, ... -YOU!

Posted by: DanS. on September 11, 2008 01:49 AM

Then, you called me a 'Cassandra'; then, you questioned my Patriotism. Then, you called me names and and questioned my sanity.

I never called you a 'Cassandra', I never questioned your Patriotism, but at this point I really am questioning yo' sanity.

Indeed, so-called Teacher's are still swearing and teaching that Saddam blew up (or even had any remote-part in) blowing up NYC and more.

Indeed, so-called teachers are still swearing that 9/11 was an inside job. It wouldn't surprise me if you were one of those so-called teachers DanS. Your hatred for Bush has you like a rabid fucking dog.

Have a drink, smoke a bowl, rub one out or just take a fucking nap dude. Your liberal aggression and absolute hatred in your heart is really shining through and killing my buzz...

Jesus on a Trisket DanS!

Posted by: B....... on September 11, 2008 02:24 AM

And WELL it should, CD!

Facts always tend to kill a buzz.

I WILL take exception to your phrase "Liberal Agression" tho;

My Friend, there IS NO SUCH THING as "Liberal Agression"! Oh, I know the words seem to go together, but THINK ABOUT IT!

How could such words be even offered on the same plate?

As I said above, it's on you if you want a proven Constitutional liar as opposed to a Constitutional Scholar.

CD, it's not ME who denigrates my VietNam Service and Time; -it's your Boy, McLame. He does more diservice to me and those like me than I could ever do to him; ask any Vet. And that is not only unfair, it's Wrong.

Posted by: DanS. on September 11, 2008 02:24 AM

CD, you truly dishonor me. Not on Patriotism; not an Allegience to the American Ideal and Experiment, not on dollars or American policy towards dogs & cats.

You question my basic honesty.

I thought I had such a right-of-honesty before either of us were even born.

I thought I was Innocent until Proven Guilty.

It becomes obvious that such is no longer true.

Such is NOT my fault, but YOURS!

As I said: Bravo Zulu! Well Done!

You have so thouroughly peed in the pool that one no longer is appreciated as one who simply appreciates clear water.

And the saddest part of that is that you have no understanding of what I just said.

Professor Dan espouses Professor Obama on terms CD will sadly never understand.

I miss our Sunday exchanges!

Posted by: DanS. on September 11, 2008 02:41 AM

Dan S: describe Obama's military experience:

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 11, 2008 02:41 AM

vetfromhell:

Zero; Zilch; Nada & non-existent.

That is all you've got?

Now, you describe, for all of us, not just me, when McSame ever told the truth ... -and ever stuck to it.

Are you implying that one never in Uniform never served America?

If so, how does Caribou Barbie measure up?

Posted by: DanS. on September 11, 2008 03:06 AM

And the saddest part of that is that you have no understanding of what I just said.

Unlike your usual drivel, I do understand what you are trying to say, but I call bullshit!

I called you on some of your BS rhetoric. In the typical liberal fashion, when you can't respond logically, you turn to personal attacks. Yup, it's all MY fault. That's cute Dan. Really cute. Blame me when you have no answer. Blame me when it's actually YOU with the hatred in your heart. Yup, just like JHE and his ilk, you pull the reigns of the dumbass donkey and YEEEE HAWWW... you're off into the sunset until the next time you feel the need to show your angst. Hit and run! You libs are really good at that aren't cha?

Hope you enjoy seeing your boy fall on his face in the next 54 days. Ooops...did I just call him "boy"? The shit's really gonna hit the fan now...

See ya in a few weeks Dan. Hopefully by then you will have recovered from your obvious case of PDS.

I have to get to sleep as I've spent HOURS here and have to Teach in the morning.

God Help Us All if I am as you say I am!

May the Republican God rebuke those who strive as I do to simply TRY and educate your agressively-ignorant sons & daughters according to a curricula outside of myself!

You will find one day that what I do is nothing more than challenge any-given student to question pre-concieved beliefs on but one basis:

Does it move us all (as a World-Community) ahead?

Regardless of their answer and pretty-damn good defense-of-response, I remind them that other such Classrooms exist in other Countries around the Globe.

I never say it, but I wonder if they think American Propaganda is equivalent to a decent Education.

And so, I ask of you, and all your Readers two things:

1) IS American Propaganda equivalent to a decent Higher Education?

2) If your answer to the above is a resounding "Yes!", -then why do we even have the concept of 'higher education'?

For the record, no class of mine has ever been exposed to my beliefs. Only Republicans would use (or even contemplate) such a platform as the Podium with which to try & further-advance that which they believe in.

Which describes succintly that which you bitch about.

Your mileage may vary. But be very careful in wielding that sharp double-edged knife of accusation that you so liberally swing.

You may find yourself teaching one day.

God DanS..I found the perfect word for you

Logorrhoea....it is the PERFECT fit for you!!!!

for all those not as smart as Mr. BDS supreme

it means excessive or incoherent talking, in DanS case blogging....

a question I often ask BDS liberals and NEVER get the answer is, if Bush is truely lying as you insist WHY has he never been impeached?????

the Congress and Senate are full of those who would if they could

Posted by: ty guy on September 11, 2008 06:13 AM

DanS Just for fun tell us ONE LIE of the Bush administration...come on make your best one and the most provable one...now when you do I will send it off to Kucinich and then he can finally be rid of George Bush


thanks dan I knew you could

"of all the recycle-ables by the curb"

That says alot about the people that live in the community. Wasting time and money for something that has been proven to cost more to do than it saves. Recyclers are liars DanS.

Also, please referenct the "lies" of JMac and Palin. I've already heard your conspiracy laden, left wing talking point lies on Bush which are unproven (as usual), so now I ask for the Mac/Palin lies. And for what it's worth, in my very conservative community, I have yet to meet a teacher (and I'm involved very regularly with our schools functions) say that Saddam had anything to do with the actions of 9/11 (today's the anniversary folks-remember-do not let the moronic libs and the medial allow us to forget). What they do say is the same thing all thinking people in America (no, you do not qualify to be in this category) realize. That Saddam was responsible for the murder of thousands of his own, he was responsible for a war he didn't live up to regarding it's post warfare surrender treaty, and he financially supported terrorists that would harm Western interests. Every one of those is a fact. Find me something provable to refute it. I challenge you. Please go back to your liberal bastion (college) with your little sponge brains that you try to indoctrinate into believing your lies, innuendos and conspiracies, and the parents and community leaders such as myself (no,I'm not a negro but I am a community leader) will be sure we tell our kids to only take from you professors what is necessary to pass and get the hell out of you little lib world you folks create in the college world. I'm really glad many people are realizing that colleges aren't the answer to all of our needs in this country as it once was. Hopefully that will force all thte libtards preaching their moronic views to go out into the real world and work for a living. Good Luck with that. I have some kennels that need to be scooped, but wouldn't hire a lib/socialist/dim to do that for it would probably not get done correctly.

Daily Dudley Observation`s....

When my Father was in his declining years & living with me,it came time when he had to have some serious surgery.The hospital staff advised me due to his advanced age & record of mini-strokes it was likely during the recovery period after surgery a period of delusion & confusion was probable. They indicated this could be a violent reaction.

To make a long story short , it was true .....Dad went thru a 48 hour period of virtual insanity of abject terror , non-recognition of any family members, ranting/raving & mandatory restraints to prevent injury to either himself or hospital staff. Fortunately this passed & Dad recovered to spend the last years of his life comfortably living with me.This experience was of course very disturbing, frightening actually for we family members, but it demonstrated just how stark reality can be.


Why then this tale? Reading the ranting`s of DanS, it strikes me just how familiar I am with his hysterical flight`s from reality as I have seen them before, albeit those were of a legitimate medical reaction. It sadden`s me that a fellow as articulate as he who has served his country allow`s himself the self delusionment which puts him so far outside of reality.

I do not know what set him off this time but I hope he can get some form of help to be able to cope in the future. My father was able to collect himself & recover , I sincerely hope DanS can also.

Dans....I am pulling for you my friend!

Regarding the photo of B. HUSSEIN with Sarah Palin's hair, well, you know you can put lipstick on a pig…

Posted by: thatjerryguy on September 11, 2008 09:32 AM

Is this an example of one of DanS' lectures? I now fully understand how the Constition of this nation can be so misinterpreted and misapplied, when there are so many examples here of how a Profressor of Consitutional Law (Ph.D. = Piled Higher & Deeper) can use First Ammendment rights to do little more than insult and threaten anyone who disagrees with him.

I guess I'm getting an "F" from the professor.

Posted by: spongerob on September 11, 2008 09:47 AM

I sure the hell hope Dan S isn't teaching any of my kids. He doesn't let his personal opinion in the class room? I am calling BS on that. I hate reading shit from a supply clerk who was stationed in a base camp far from the fighting.

Posted by: james old guy on September 11, 2008 09:58 AM

Let me just say that Palin's hair and make-up are not that hard to achieve nor are they as time consuming as the author claims. What was hard for her was the fact that it was such a HUGE stretch to make her look like Sarah Palin. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig. For those of us of the fairer persuasion(not to toot my own horn, but I am far from ugly), achieving a sexy schoolmarm look is just a matter of literally piling our hair on top of our heads and pinning it. We don't really wear all that much make-up either. Of course it took a lot of make-up to try and make that woman look like Palin...

Posted by: Milf from IA on September 11, 2008 11:25 AM

About ten years ago, I got custody of my grand daughter from her mother. Mom is Bi-polar and untreated.
Reading the rants of DanS through his many ups and downs has reminded me that what I did was the right thing to do. To have subjected that child to that illness would have been devistating to her phyche.
DanS, get back on your medication. You still have a great deal to offer this world. It is best that you do it with a clear mind.
I thank you for your service during your younger days. But untill you get back on your meds, it is best you just STFU.

WHAT!?!?

Posted by: Greg on September 11, 2008 12:29 PM

DanS - Dude! Where the fuck do I begin?

1. You couldn't have been called a Cassandra on this blog seven years ago because it didn't exist back then. I started in it April of 2002.

2. The hotlink was at the start of the post. Somehow all my other readers seemed to be able to find it.

3. Torture. Chimpy McHaliburton Bushitler authorizes worst torture than was inflicted on McRINO? Dude! Step away from the bong!

4. The last Dimocrat who ran on tax relief was BJ and we know what happened back then. The largest tax increase in history.

5. Constitutional Law professor? Quite frankly I would prefer someone who wasn't a lawyer. Has he even written anything on Constitutional Law?

6. As I have said before, the McPalin campaign has knocked the Anointed One off his game. He's not running against Palin. He's running against McRINO so he won't be debating Constitutional Law against her. He won't be doing it against McRINO either since that is not what this election is about.

7. You wanna talk experience instead of her having to pass a class on Constitutional Law? She has more executive experience than the other three candidates combined.

8. What was gas in 2006 when we elected a Dimocrat Congress? A little over $2 per gallon. Bush has been trying to drill in ANWR since he was elected. The Dims filibustered it when they were in the majority. And gas has gone up more under the Dimocrat Congress than under the Bush administration. As soon as Bush rescinded the executive order against offshore drilling (that his father had issued) gas prices started dropping.

9. Actually there is a such thing as liberal aggression. Joseph Stalin believed in the same thing that liberals in America believe in and he was pretty aggressive. Who were the demonstrators who snuck into the Republican convention and tried to disrupt the speeches of Palin and McRINO? Code Pink is a liberal organization and they are very aggressive. Who starts the violent demonstrations? Rat bastard commie liberals. I have yet to see conservatives rioting.

10. It is not the Right that will shred the Constitution. It is the Left. Look at the difference in the Supreme Court. Thomas, Scalia, Roberts and Alito believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Ginsberg and the others believe in making the Constitution a "living document". The majority of JHE supporters feel that way as well.

11. American education is propaganda? I'll agree with you on that point Danno. Unfortunately it is socialist propaganda. In the college ranks, over 90% of professors consider themselves Dimocrats, and they're spouting Republican propaganda? Same in the secondary schools. Do you think members of teachers unions, one of the core constituency of the Dimocrat Party are spouting Republican propaganda? Get a grip Danno! You're hallicinating again.

I could go on and on, but I do not have the time. You are really wandering off the reservation again, but thanks for playing.

Posted by: Denny on September 11, 2008 01:09 PM

Denny........

Nice point by point refutation, I had considered doing something similar but was distressed at the prospect of beating up on DanS while he obviously has some side issues to deal with.

One point I will comment on is the enlightened Liberal Supreme Court minority has attempted to rationalize their decisions or vote`s citing international law which is specifically outside of the constraints placed on the Court by the Constitution. This is dangerous territory for our appointed Constitutional guardians to venture into.Does the statement "Fool`s rush in where Angels fear to tread" fit all to perfectly?

Anyway I hope DanS get`s some semblance of balance again since he seemed to be doing so well.

Posted by: dudley1 on September 11, 2008 01:36 PM

let me propose a thought:

The libs say 911 never happened. Why would they do that?

What can easily be seen now seven years later is that the libs were just as complicit in the 911 attacks as the arabs flying the planes.

8 years of gutting this country's military and ignoring the Al Qaeda threat were all due to the Clinton presidency. Since 911 libs have been doing EVERYTHING they can do to aid and comfort Al qaeda. Reid, Murtha, Pelosi, Obama, Biden, and all liberals have done everything in their power to continue the attacks on the US way of life since 911. This country is currently in a CIVIL war. The trillions spent for the war on terror and to fill our gas tanks each day are the real catalyst behind the banks failing each day.

The enemy of the US is here. It is called the Democrat party. They merely facilitated Al Qaeda to do their actual dirty work on 911. Clinton's presidency weakened the military enough to allow Al qaeda access to this country to make the attacks.

Further expenditure of US funds should be spent rounding up the treasonous liberals in the US. Both elected officials, deep-pocket supporters (Soros, move-on, etc) should be jailed, tried for treason, and executed. Period. Only then will the US be safe.

Our enemy is not Al Qaeda, the taliban, Hezbollah, or Islam.

Our enemy is the Democratic party. They are leading the attack on this country. Time they are all rounded up and shot.

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 11, 2008 02:26 PM

The advantage of having, or suffering (?), DanS company is that I learn so much from the many right thinking Americans who have the patience to refute DanS, point by point, again and again.

I have much respect for his military services. I wish him well.

Until now. Thanks Denny.

And thanks for the warning, I put my Labatt down just in time.

Posted by: red collar on September 11, 2008 08:52 PM

DanS -

do you ever come back the morning after one of your rants and read what you have written? i can't imagine suffering through one of your classes if you use similar organizational skills in arranging your sessions. and outside of the past several weeks, this is one of your most coherent tirades.

anyway, denny set you straight. i wish you well, pray you don't do this crap in class (even if it is never political when you are on the clock, as you claim, which i can't believe), and would love for you to post sober without the flighty, scatter brained essays you excrete here. it would likely be fun to have a two way debate with you.

i keep waiting for you to leave something here that would provoke thought as to why i wouldn't have your side of view.

still waiting.

see the doctor and restart the meds, and please be kind to the next generation.
