(2007-01-04) — Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, became the first female Speaker of the House today, and immediately called for a ban on abortion to promote social justice because almost 60 percent of aborted children are ethnic minorities.
“It took a long time to get a woman Speaker,” said Rep. Pelosi, “because we killed off 30-to-40 million potential Democrat voters in the last 35 years. Otherwise, by now we could have had a black lesbian Speaker, universal tax-funded healthcare, and a ban on ownership of guns, personal automobiles and private investment accounts.”
The Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling, she said, was “a Republican plot to wipe out non-white racial groups, especially the poor, and thus to slow the growth of the Democrat party.”

Too bad “San Fran Nan” didn’t go the rusty hanger route…

I can guaran-darn-tee ya’ that if the roles were reversed and it was Republicans embracing Roe V Wade, you know that is exactly what the Donks would be calling abortion, a racist holocaust. But by the mere dent of embracing abortion, the left has sanctified this intra-uterine murder of unborn minorities and females.
After all, the founder of Planned Abortionhood, Margaret Sanger was a liberal humanist racist who saw abortion as a means to eventually wipe out inferior races. Of course the libtards blindly defend this woman as if she were a saint, and in the religion of liberalism she is one of their patron saints!

Reading Margaret Sanger temporarily dented my sanity. The word “dent” should be “dint”. eg - “But by mere dint of embracing abortion”.
Abortion - one of the unholy sacraments of the religion of liberal humanism. The modern version of ingratiating oneself with “the fates” by killing unborn babies in hopes of improving ones life. The destruction of the most innocent of human beings.

This is truly an historic occasion. Nancy Pelosi is the first ever Screecher of the House. The next two years will likely prove to be the most corrupt Congress we shall ever witness. A cursory look at the Democrat leadership shows that nary a one has not demonstrated seriously degraded ethics. The best we can hope for is that the damage which Democrats inflict will be limited.
So put on your flak jackets and pray that the nation suffers no worse than flesh wounds.

As for “Stretch” being the most powerful woman in America, I’ll believe it when she gets in the ring with one of the babes from the WWE, or one of the other wrestling organizations.
Of course she has to win, or at least survive!
I had a thought about how to handle “Screech” Sheehan. First, kidnap Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell, put them in a cage and record the sounds that it causes. Then get one of those amps the kids have in their cars and after following “Screech” around everywhere, when she tries one of those high-jacked press conferences, give her some of her own, (shout them down), medicine!
I still wonder if the dims didn’t actually let her use them yesterday. Even though it looks like she ‘demanded’ they take action, now they can say they are doing things in her name, as if it is what EVERYONE wants, when they call for a pullout.
I saw Judge Neopolitano on Fox and Friends this morning doing an impression of Chas Rangle.
Pretty funny! Steve Doocey asked him if he could do Foghorn Leghorn.
Rangle reminds me of a guy I used to work with years ago that was always drunk, shooting craps, or playing cards.
Probably what Rangle would be doing if he didn’t have the cushy gig he has now.

I got a couple of calls from the Scrapple family today wishing me well. Thanks Upnorth and Scott. Gee, how can I stand here without being so humbled.
I know God answers prayers and many are being lifted up across the nation. I start physical therapy three days a week next week. They agreed with me that we have a long way to go (but I will get there).
I am going to start praying for a laptop for several reasons. First I can write from wherever I am comfortable and second of all, if I am in the hospital again, (of which I pray not) I can hook up to Scrapple from the bedside because they have wireless there.
I ask that as you pray for my return to health that you also pray for the other miracle. I got a lot of stuff to sell on e-bay that may get me close, but….well you know-with God all things are possible

I admit that I did not look at the rating but it was so full of vulgarity and F words, that the language and gay references would make a sailor blush.
It was not about a little girl like I thought, but more about how much the producer could slam everything decent.

Speaking of pointy heads (white-sheeted, at that) and a culture of corruption (Surely his body is corrupting as we speak!), the third in line for succession to the presidency is none other that Bobbie Bryd. Arrrrgh!
from MyWay:
“The Senate, as is typical, will get off to a slower start than the House, where rules and practice permit speedy debate and ensure tight majority power control over the agenda. After passage of a series of routine resolutions - including elevating 89-year-old Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., as President Pro Tempore, third in the line of presidential succession - the Senate floor will open up for speeches about the upcoming session.”

Besides, what’s wrong with a face lift?
Did I say anything was wrong with getting a facelift? Nay, get one if you want. But I ask, what’s wrong with making fun of people who avail themselves of facelifts when they’ve painted themselves as compassionate, authentic members of a “reality-based community”? Ever stop to think how many homeless children this liberal fraud could have helped with that $25,000 she blew on her vanity? Some “compassionate” DemDonk.
And it’s becoming increasingly apparent neverthink must practice in front of a mirror to get inspiration before posting his comments about “pointy heads” and “kaiser”. It’s like an artist painting his own portrait.
Excellent observation onlineanalyst, if we’re going to talk about “pointy heads” we certainly have to include Grand Kleagle “Sheets” Byrd. And given how much her face was pulled tight with her latest cosmetic enhancements, Ms. Pelosi is probably hiding that pointy head of hers under her hair.
Remember how left-wing jerks laughed at the at transparently racist cartoons of Condoleeza Rice put out by left-wing hacks like Gary Trudeau and Oliphant? This is the stuff which passes for humor in their world, that’s people on neverthink’s side of the aisle mind you.
Amazing how blowhard trolls take umbrage out a few candid photos of Nancy Pelosi’s plastic fakeness or her original countenance. You see, in neverthink’s world its alright for liberals to publicly yuck it up, mock, engage in despicable name calling, create false moral equivalences and generate racist cartoons of conservative minorities because that’s being “creative” and “speaking truth to power.” But let a conservative dispense humor ON A PARODY SITE in a far less offensive manner and the faux outrage just spews from said troll’s mouth. What a riot!

Libby Gone, well I must say, the money most definitely did NOT come from lobbyists because we know, according to Ninny Pagoda today, that no Democrat would ever take any money from a lobbyist….soooooo, it must have been from tax payers’ money. I am wondering if I could use my income tax due money for some fancifying surgery on my comely visage????
Darthmeister, Everdrunk is just a little tipsy from the 4-day party (costing big big bucks) that they are all having, in spite of “hunger in America”, “homelessness in America” and “nobody having healthcare.” They are all taking a clue from Bill Clinton - ‘Awww, you ain’t gonna do anything about all that anyway, so party hearty and drink yourself into oblivion. You only go around once in life!’
I heard an interesting statistic this week and it made me realize that the Dems didn’t really win anything. Do you realize that when Ford was President there were 145 more Democrats in the House than Republicans and Ford vetoed 66 bills in 33 days? 145 more Dems….sheesh. Big whoop in the difference in the House now. And lest they forget, when the Dems lost Congress in 1948, it was for a very short time and they got put back in pretty quick. The Republicans today are what the Dems were back then and I have a feeling that this whole thing has been a blip.

“Purtier” than the royal purple that Queenie Peloser wore for her coronation, C-A-T. Was that donning of her gay apparel for the benefit of her San Fran supporters? It helps to wear a crown when you smash that marble ceiling.
Four days (??!?) dedicated to enthroning the Regal Nanny, who began show time by surrounding herself with the family brood. For plastic people like Nanny, “reality” is about appearances all the time.
Her best buddy Murtha is already talking about not funding a surge of troops. The Black Caucus is making noises about her delivering support for their efforts in assuring a Democrat majority. Queenie has a lot of checks to pay back. Let’s hope that the nation isn’t the loser for Peloser’s vanity.
Nancy Pelosi is sad as a symbol for achieving, actualized, authentic women.

Just think how the Hildegarde looked upon this floozy of the House who announced that she is the most powerful woman in America. Peloozi vs Shrillary, Peloozi vs Jane Harmony, Peloozi vs Cindi Sheman. Pulling hair, claw marks, screeching…it will all be there for you guys to get your jollies. There is nothing like a bunch of women working in the same operation, especially power hungry women who look upon themselves as men with shapely legs (notice I didn’t observe any other differences in the interest of propriety).

The whole giddy screed by the prancing, self-aggrandizing posers about “not funding” the war or the proposed “surge” is nothing but a smokescreen.

DECONSTRUCTING NANCY “THE LIAR” PELOSI
From her acceptance speech yesterday:
Lie #1 - I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship.
Republicans are excluded from any decision making or agenda setting for the first 100 hours. And they’ll generally be ignored the next two years unless they are “moderates” who agree with liberal Democrats.
Lie #2 In this House, we may be different parties, but we serve one country.
Like John Edwards, she believed in two Americas and probably still does. Her claim in believing that she and fellow Democrats “serve one country” is undercut by her previous divisive and inflammatory hate-Bush/blame-America rhetoric of the last two years. The only unity these people understand is the unity under the liberal banner.
Lie #3 …and (I) look forward to to working on the behalf of the American people
Pelosi almost got it right. She will only be working for half of the American people, that of liberal America. She won’t give one ear to anything conservatives might have to say or think what is good for the American republic. Same ol’ same ol’ liberal lying.
Lie #4 We stand united in our pride and prayers for our men and women in the armed forces.
“In our pride”??? Buwahahahahaha… while “our men and women” fight an illegal and immoral war, right Ms. Pelosi? What BS.
Lie #5 we … must also work together to build a future worthy of their sacrifice.
Like cut-and-run, thus making any sacrifice meaningless? This is getting too much to stomach.
Lie #6 Each of us brings to this new Congress our shared values, our commitment to the Constitution, and our personal experience.
That may be true but you’re only going to listen to liberal voices, right Ms. Pelosi? Those voices in your head? (cue Twilight Zone music)
Lie #7 Let us be the Congress that rebuilds our military to meet the national security challenges of the 21st century.
By cutting the military budget, right? Turning our military into mere police, right? Prosecuting illegal enemy combatants in our civil courts, right?
Lie #8 Let us be the Congress that strongly honors our responsibility to protect our people from terrorism.
As we liberals define terrorism, right? In Ms. Pelosi’s world there is no legitimate Glogal War on Terrorism. It’s all an illegal and immoral military action against peace-loving Muslims. We’re only stirring up a hornet’s nest when we try to drain the Islamofascist breeding grounds and safe havens which gave us 9/11.
I amost don’t want to stop, this is getting good.

Thanks for the props. Lugosi’s, er, Pelosi’s thought-free vibrations as Shrieker of the House will prove to be most entertaining the next 2 years, not to mention the source of many good parodies. Politics is a zero-sum game.

Santini, my desktop weather program doesn’t deal in wind chill anymore (must’ve offended someone…) but uses “feels like” instead. The actual air temp shot up to 30°, but with a westerly breeze at 12mph it “feels like” a mere 20°. It’s all good to me….anything above zero in January is balmy don’t even zip our coats weather!! Come on global warming!!
As for the Fighting Sioux (rumor has it all they’d have to do is drop the “fighting” and they’d be considered in compliance) I am a died in the wool NDSU Bison fan and will only cheer for the hockey team from 80 miles north. If they cave on the team name, I won’t even cheer for them! It was a wonderful state rivalry until three years ago when the Bison went Division 1. UND refused to consider a move until they witnessed our success. Now, they too are seriously considering the move. We’re pretty sure as soon as we lock in a “conference” they’ll jump too!! They’re getting sick of the taunting about playing the equivalent of junior high school teams! We laugh at their attempts to justify! (Our Bison kind of embarrassed Cal Poly and Cal Davis this year in football!!
)

Hey Everybody. A good day to y’all, TGIF. Going to a mini-retreat tonight. Redemptive Suffering. Figured I better get on with it since it’s gonna be a loonngg two years. I can’t even turn on the news. I can’t stand it. And the StuBy awards have pulled the plug. Ah well.
Have a great weekend. We’re heading south for a Wine Tasting at a local winery. Got to use the gift tickets before the hubby sails away on the 15th.
Already gettin’ sad. sigh.
Hey da Bunny, sounds warm and dry where ya rr. Been a balmy winter here, but rainny. Global warmings keeping the electric bill low here, haven’t had to turn on the air even though a couple of days ago it was tank top and shorts weather here.
Marge- I moved 22 trees and shrubs the other day! Man my wrist and elbow hurt!
Good Day Maggie and Ms. Rightwing, can always count on coffee with you gals, sorry I didn’t stop by this morning for a cup.
UNL and Ms. CAT y’all are funny!
Kajun- looks like we may be seeing you again as we pass through LA this summer… Mrs. Kajun makes some good coffee.
Mr. Fred, was that recipe for some one that asked if you were full of beans?
To the rest of ya- keep on singing…
Have a great weekend Scott. Bye y’all.
67 Darthmeister // Jan 5, 2007 at 5:46 pm
mig, you going to beat some drums this weekend?
Ms RightWing, I’m polishing off the Misery Indexometer this very minute. Shades of Jimmah Cahtah!
I like global warming. It’s irreversible anyway unless we figure out how to economically get ten trillion fire extinguishers to the Sun. Man’s puny efforts are about 8th on the causes of global warming behind the Sun, water vapor, natural production of CO2 and Methane, geothermal and volcanic activity, etc.
We can swing this “climate change” back toward an ice age if we put all our efforts into putting more polluting particulates into the atmosphere. But then the libs would whine about “air pollution”. Never happy, are they?
The claim by environmental whackos that polar bear populations are declining is another fearmongering lie of the left gleefully reported uncritically by the libtard media.
Also the claim that melting polar caps will raise the ocean so many feet is pure bunk. Another example of left-wing lying that the lamestream media dutifully reports. The ice cap on Greenland is actually thickening even though it is receeding somewhat along its perimeter.
If the entire northern ice cap melted it would actually reduce the level of the the oceans fractions of inches since it doesn’t sit on land and would represent something similar to ice in a glass already filled to the top - when the ice melts the level in the glass drops. Dittos for any and all sea ice.
The only thing environmental whackos can hope for is a major meltdown of Antartica whose ice does sit on land. However, the average temperature there is -34 degrees and rarely do temperatures anywhere on the continent even today rise above freezing. The stuff breaking off the continent is already floating on water so once again this is a net loss in ocean height as the floating shelves of ice melt.
The idea the oceans will rise something like 8 feet to 8 meters in the next thousand years is pure garbage. And even if the water levels did rise, the extra weight of the water could cause land areas to bulge upward commiserately. And even if water levels did rise several feet within our lifetimes we would simply adapt … well, at least conservatives would be smart enough to move inland. Liberals would still try to live in flooded coastal areas whining that it’s the government’s job to rescue them from global warming. Shades of New Orleans!

UNL:
The NDSU Bison kicked butt against Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (there’s a Cal Poly in Pomona, but they don’t play intercollegiate football), and the Cal Aggies (UC Davis, a short I-80 jaunt from my house) for only 1 reason: The Mustangs (the nickname of both Cal Poly SLO & the Aggies) were too young to remember the veer/triple option/wishbone offense so beloved by the Bison (3 yards and a cloud of tundra). That’s so 70’s, y’know…
I’ll bet the Bison and the UND Fighting Sioux could play ice hockey, year-round and outside, in Manitscolda. They wouldn’t need a Zamboni™ to smooth the ice, either. The vapor gusts from the lungs of the players would do that.

Leno’s comments on Pelosi’s face
Today, Nancy Pelosi became the first female speaker of the house. This is the furthest anyone wearing a dress has gotten in Washington since J. Edgar Hoover. Nancy Pelosi said today “we’ve waited 200 years for this.” 200 years? How many face lifts has this woman had? She looks great. I had no idea.
72 JamesonLewis3rd // Jan 5, 2007 at 6:59 pm
(CNSNews.com) - Kicking off her first full day as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) held an “Open House for the People’s House” reception Friday morning. (emphasis mine)
Funny thing is (or not), it was invitation only.
73 Ms RightWing, Ink // Jan 5, 2007 at 7:11 pm
This was found in a news story about gunmen attacking the National Gaurd along the borfer.
The Border Patrol said its agents have seized a record amount of marijuana from smugglers along the Arizona-Mexico border for the fifth year in a row, confiscating 331 tons of marijuana worth about $530. The seizure almost equaled the 350 tons seized in California, Texas and New Mexico combined, and the agency praised the Guard for its contribution to making the seizures.
“confiscating 331 tons of marijuana worth about $530.”
Dang, I’m heading for the border, the cost of pot is pretty cheap there. cough

Ms RightWing, they were probably factoring in the Green Stamps™ which probably exchanged hands to come to the $530 price.
I wonder if one would get a Texaco™ toy truck thrown in for buying a ton at a time?

Regarding troop escalation in Iraq: Victor Davis Hanson has an excellent (as usual) plan. More troops are great, but only if they’re allowed to fight with the gloves off when they get there. As they say, RTWT:

RE #60,
I’m thinking since the recipe calls for “uncooked” chicken, it might be better for one’s health, to know how long to cook the soup—-?
81 gafisher // Jan 6, 2007 at 9:15 am
’til it’s done, Harry!
Or:
Pour chicken stock into a large kettle. Add chicken, onions, celery, corn, garlic, parsley, rosemary, basil, thyme, oregano, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until chicken is tender. Skim the broth if foam appears. Remove from heat. Remove the chicken from the broth to cool. Once cool enough to handle, remove the bones and cut the meat into small pieces. Reserve.
While the broth is simmering, place the sausage into a heavy skillet and cover it with water. Simmer the sausage for 15 minutes and drain. Once the sausage is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
Add the deboned chicken, sausage slices, and the cubed ham to the broth and return to a simmer for 15 minutes. Add the Randall Beans and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve in large warm bowls with fresh baked bread and soft butter.

Thank you Scott for posting Ms Pelosi’s official kiss-off to bipartisanship. Abortion a Republican plot “…to wipe out non-white racial groups, especially the poor, and thus to slow the growth of the Democrat party.”?
As a mddle-aged conservative Black man I find her comments patronizing and offensive. Who in the African-American community is clamoring for a black lesbian Speaker of the House (for efficiency, let’s placate the blacks, gays and feminists in a single reference)?
“A plot to slow the growth of the Democratic party”? Talk about an inflated sense of self-importance!
I remember discussing abortion-on-demand issues in junior high school 40 years ago. The champion of abortion rights has always been the Democratic party. Suddenly, 4 decades later, Ms Pelosi gets this ‘revelation’. Get real.
If you’re familiar with the psuedo-science of eugenics, you already know that abortion, indeed, targeted non-whites, the poor, the mentally infirm, etc. The problem is that it backfired- the overwhelming majority of people seeking abortions are healthy, normal white females. This was true in the 1960s as it is today. In most (American) minority communities, it is anti-cultural to kill our children in the womb.
Ms Pelosi, a savvy politician, is also a devout Catholic. It would appear (my conjecture) that she is attempting to encapsulate her conviction in a sugar-coating before spoon-feeding it her supporters and maybe pick up some pro-life support in order to solidify a power base. But hey, she can always say she tried but her party voted her down (wink wink).
Outrageous comments have been her hallmark on the national scene. Why should one expect this leopard to change her spots?
Grab your popcorn and watch the fireworks between the She-leopard of the House and the pro-choice activists.

Hello Everyone,
I am truthfully surprised to see this site still active. At the same time, I am happy to see some participants apparently still well. To the long timers, happy new year, best wishes.
I apologize for changing topics, but your man is scheduled to speak tonight, not on the minimum wage, but on the war in Iraq. From my understanding he will be speaking about his proposal to increase the amount of troops there in contradiction to the military advisors, the congress, the “Baker Commission” and the majority of the American public.
The minimum wage may be mentioned, but we all know that’s not his purpose.
For those of you who have been around long enough to know me, you should know that my love for the troops prevails. And,….. I told you so!
If you haven’t concluded that this man is an idiot yet, I am sorry and disappointed in you.
I have tried not to argue any other issue than this war, and it’s justification.
In the past, on this site, I had argued this wars purpose. I found great resistance. The liberal media and many other factors were to blame for my ignorance. We still have yet to find a reasonable reason why we went to war in Iraq. In contrary, we have seen many contradictions. I personally still don’t know why this FOOL took my brothers and sisters to war in Iraq!
We are now many years later. Our military is broken. NOT in heart, but in resources.
Bushes decisions have cost thousands of lives. I believe he will most likely complete his term and in turn, cost many more lives American service members lives.
For those service members who may be following this blog, God bless you. For those of you who are not service members, when are you going to act on your responsibility as American citizens and speak for those serving. There most be legislative approval for executive action in this matter.
