A Beautiful Progressive Mind

I am celebrating 4/20 day today. Yes, I am well aware that it is April 22nd and many of my cohorts in cannabis consumption have already celebrated this holiday two days ago, it's just that weed makes me procrastinate. Besides, I was all out of stash until today because my neighbor bogarted my supply (along with my Fritos) and I haven't had the means to replenish my stockpile until today when my Obama money was deposited.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank y'all who are still working for your contribution, as I blog through the blue haze of a freed mind. Suddenly Obama is making a tremendous amount of sense to me. I only hope that my ash cloud doesn't cause any more airline delays...

CAGE THOSE MANGY COYOTES!

I believe I know what this is all about and I am ouraged!

Arizona lawmakers on Tuesday passed one of the toughest pieces of immigration-enforcement legislation in the country, which would make it a violation of state law to be in the U.S. without proper documentation.

It would also grant police the power to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being illegal.

We are supposed to believe that the timing of this legislation, on the eve of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Detroit Red Wings and the Phoenix Coyotes, is purely coincidental, right? Well I'm not buying this mister!

The overwhelming majority of the Wings are foreign born, hailing from Canada, Sweden, Russia and Finland. Of course, that holds true for Phoenix, as well as every other NHL team. The fact that all of the Wing's papers are in order does not preclude Phoenix authorities from rounding them up for an immigration check, say a half hour before game time tonight. REAL CLASSY ARIZONA!

Well I say, bring it on. The Wings will still be left with two forwards, two defensemen, and their starting goalie. They'll play short-handed for the entire game one and STILL beat the Coyotes.

Presumed Red Wing lineup for Game One:
F - Justin Abdelkader - Muskegon, Michigan
F - Drew Miller Dover, - New Jersey
D - Brett Lebda - Buffalo Grove, Illinois
D - Brian Rafalski - Dearborn, Michigan
G - Jimmy Howard - Syracuse, New York

Rest up boys! I believe you'll be getting all the ice time you want. CAGE THOSE MANGY COYOTES!

Illeism - the act of referring to oneself in the third person

DaBlade believes we have to add to this list.

CT EXCLUSIVE: Another Adoption Gone Bad

The 48-year-old Obama was sent alone on a one-way flight back to Kenya today by his American adoptive citizens with a note pinned to his lapel that read:
To whom it may concern,
For the safety of our security, economy, and future, we no longer wish to be governed by this community organizer. He has severe psychopathic issues and socialist behavior. We were misled and lied to during his campaign about this man-child’s mental stability.
Regards,
We The People

Oh yah, here is an unrelated story about some russian kid.

RUN JOHN, RUN!

Englers Back in Michigan

Former Michigan Gov. John Engler and his wife, Michelle, have bought a lakefront home in Shiawassee County, fueling speculation about a return to politics.
...
Engler, a Republican, has declined to address questions about whether the move might signal an interest in a 2012 campaign, when U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat, faces re-election.

No offense to my neighbors in Shiawassee County, but if I was a former governor of this once great state and I was going to spend half a million dollars on a quiet retirement home in Michigan - with NO INTEREST IN RETURNING TO POLITICS - I can think of half a million better places than one which happens to be 20 miles northeast of Lansing.

So would Engler's return to politics be a good thing or a bad thing for Michigan?

To answer that, all you need do is scan some of the comments in the above linked article. Keep yesterday's lesson, (liberalism is a brain disorder) in mind if you do. Here is my favorite so far... "Good luck John..We have long memories..Don't even think of running for office here..Your support of Bush and the economic policies that devastated Michigan will never be forgiven..Try Texas, you should be able to beat that jerk they currently have there.."

That is actually quite mild in comparison to most of the hate-filled, intolerant and ignorant comments from the majority of libtards in this state. Do you want more evidence that Engler was a great governor other than the fact that he is despised by the left?

Let's take a look at just how Engler's policies "devasted Michigan", shall we?

Michigan Governor John Engler 1991-1997 Accomplishments
http://www.state.mi.us/migov/gov/Archives/engleraccomp9197.html

Let's just look at the top 3 here...

BEFORE ENGLER: In 1990, unemployment was 7.6 percent. I know this sounds low in Obama's world, but back then it was -- the worst among the nation's 10 largest states.
AFTER ENGLER: Unemployment is (1997) a record low 4.0 percent -- the strongest job market in America.

BEFORE ENGLER: Michigan was losing jobs and families to other states. Sound familiar?
AFTER ENGLER: Michigan companies have created more than 500,000 jobs since 1991.

BEFORE ENGLER: Property taxes were third highest in the nation.
AFTER ENGLER:Biggest tax cut in history reduced school property taxes by more than 80 percent.

So in a perfect world, Engler replaces Stabenow in the senate, and Ted Nugent replaces Granholm in the governor's mansion on Mackinaw Island. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

"uhhh... I'm Pro-Choice Because I Said So!"

This story made me sick to my stomach - Gendercide: China's shameful massacre of unborn girls means there will soon be 30m more men than women

Apparently it's not uncommon in communist China for beautiful baby girls to be left to die in nearby gutters, what with their "one child" policy, and given the fact that females are not afforded any value above chattel in their culture. These "mothers" are simply exerting their right to choose under legalized abortion, are they not?

"You are only a girl. You are spilt water."

Surely even the staunchest so-called "pro-choice" women in this country can no longer rationalize their barbaric views regarding abortion, can they? How could they denounce this massacre of their own gender and yet still condone the practice of infanticide in any form in this country?

The "choice" can't be any clearer. Either you embrace your neighbor's "unenumerated right" to murder their own child or you must accept the fact that abortion is an abomination in all cases.

...and the results are in. Feminazis can speak out of both sides of their piehole.


and the signs said...
* EVERY HUMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEM
* PRO-WOMAN PRO-CHILD PRO-CHOICE
* THIS FAMILY SUPPORTS PLANNED PARENTHOOD
so I tucked my hair up under my hat, and I went in to ask them why?

"Just because I'm pro-choice doesn't mean I'm pro-abortion!"

Sorry libs, you can't have your fetus and eat it too.

Liberalism really is a brain disorder. It is the only way I can see how they can justify their twisted belief system, and therefore you hold little chance of swaying a liberal to the right side of an issue.

It got me to thinking that logic and reasoning works just as well with a liberal as it does with a protective mother. That is meant to be a smooth segue into the following, which is really all I wanted to blog about today.

My older brother Greg likes to tell the story about when he was a teenager (17 or 18?) and wanted to go on a weekend bike trip (10-speeds, not Harleys) up north with some neighborhood buddies. Now brother Greg, being a bright yet devious teenager, knew that mother would have initial doubts about giving her approval, and so brother Greg formulated his strategy in advance. He wanted to ensure, through the sheer power of his logic, that she would be forced to acquiesce and let him go. Like a boxer who choreographs his moves before entering the ring, Greg felt he had the knockout punch, if it even came to that. You see, he knew the story of our father running away and jumping trains cross-country when he was but just 13-years-old. A little 'ol bike ride pales in comparison to this, and even mother couldn't argue the fact that her husband was a fine man no worse for wear.

Now I know I am drawing this out, and you no doubt are ahead of me when I tell you that our mother flatly rejected him at every turn. If this was in fact a boxing match, my brother's punches were sad and feeble efforts and mother's chin was made of iron.

"It's just for a few days."
"NO!"
"We will not be taking the main roads."
"NO!"
"My friend's parents are letting them go!"
"NO!"

Seeing that his jabs were ineffective against mom's rope-a-dope "just say no" coverup, he went for the "dad jumped trains as a boy" roundhouse uppercut, and asked how she could still say "no" in light of this new evidence. she blocked and countered with a devastating blow of "BECAUSE I SAID SO" one-punch knockout shiver.

Now whenever one of us was sent to the canvas in this fashion by mom rejecting our plea, we almost always falsely assumed she did so without prejudice, and interpretted her "BECAUSE I SAID SO" to mean "go ask your father".

So brother Greg goes to our dad and tells him what happened, asking him to intercede with mom. Since our father was not a crack user, he very rarely thought it prudent to overrule her. When brother Greg laid out his plea to our dad, his wise response has lived on in our family's history, and it is a lesson I have tried very hard to pass down to the next generation with my sons.

"Son, you make a reasonable argument for a reasonable man. However, there is something I think you need to understand. Your mother is no reasonable man."

I shouldn't have to make the obvious distinction between the motivations of a protective mother to that of a protective liberal, so I won't. Consider it your homework assignment.

Obama the Destroyer, and other one-liners

I was walking down the street, and I found a man's hand in my pocket. I asked, "What do you want?" "A match" "Why didn't you ask me?" "I don't talk to strangers." - Henny Youngman (and Obama's economic policy)

So Obama the Destroyer gets to replace another left wing loon on the high court now that John Paul Stevens has announced his intention to retire.

A Republican named to the court in 1975 by President Gerald R. Ford, Stevens leaves a legacy of defending abortion rights, expanding protection for gays, restricting the availability of the death penalty and ensuring a robust role for judges in interpreting the nation's laws and curbing executive power.

This is just the latest collision in the slow-moving train wreck that is this president. He has already left his debt-laden, economy-destroying mark on this country for a minimum of several generations by spending money we don't have like a drunken Kenyan pirate. He now gets to leave his permanent stain on the high court once again by replacing the bow-tie-wearing ignoramous with a younger, more radical version.

"But DaBlade," you say. "If you've seen one godless lib, you've seen them all. Who cares if Obama replaces one liberal justice with another? We are no worse off after all."

Well, status quo kinda sucks, dontcha think? Especially after 50+ million dead baby corpses (and counting) continue to pile up at the altar of the so-called supreme Court, after their perverted and sick Roe V. Wade decision in 1973. I have always held out hope that I would live to see the day when sanity and morality were restored to this country with the overturning of this "abortion" of justice. It would take a solid majority of Originalist Justices who actually follow the Constitution for this to happen.

What are the chances Obama will nominate someone who holds the Constitution in esteem and not contempt, when he himself has stated he believes it is "deeply flawed"?

"I, Barack Hussein Obama, promise to take a daily constitutional on the Constitution, and to flush this fundamentally flawed document down the toilet with every nomination opportunity I get, so help me... errr... myself"

First came that wise Latina woman to replace David "empty" Souter. Now comes the hundred and twenty something John Paul Stevens, who never had the decency to assume room temperature during the Bush years. Next up, Ruth Buzzi Hindenburg, and all during Obama's first and only term. Unless, of course, he is impeached before then.

Speaking of potential nominees, and in the spirit of the late/great comedian Henny Youngan, all I can say is...

TAKE MY GOVERNOR - PLEASE!

Just be forewarned. If he does, the joke is on you.

Vision Restored For Three Formally Blind Mice!

Obamacare is no sooner signed into law and suddenly scientists find a cure for mice blindness. Coincidence? Faux News would have you think so. Excuse me, but mice sight is a right, not a priviledge where I come from people.

Praise Gaia, what a miraculous healing! I'm sure my fellow Earthers will agree that this is what Spring Holiday is all about! Rodents who can now find their way to the stash of government cheese.

Please enjoy my new version of this classic and violent nursery ryhme:

Three formally blind mice. Three formally blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
A non-viral, synthetic nanoparticle was used,
And cured their retinitis pigmentosa docs mused,
But nothing can be done for the tails they losed,
Three formally blind mice.



BTW, what's up with the farmer's wife and that carving knife? Obviously she is part of some right wing tea party fringe group and the farmer and his neighbors are some sort of militia.

Southbound

The following is my FB profile picture update for today that I though I should share here...

We've hit a debtberg and are taking on entitlements. Probably be Ok if everyone starts bailing.

DaBlade: "YOU THERE! WHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE DROOLING!?"

DeCarlo: "It's just going to be like Christmas. It's going to be great. You know, no worries (about) the bills. We are going to go ahead and pay our co-pay and be alright."

and the band played on.

Maybe I should have said: "We've hit an Entitlementberg and are taking on DEBT." Oh well... you get the picture.

and now for a totally unrelated audio clip of a tune I've been humming lately. Based on the opening lyrics, it sure feels like he is singing about my hometown of Flint...

The boom time it is over A ghost town is all that's left here The gold rush it is over And depression days draw near Tonight after sundown I'm going to pack my case Without a word, without a sound Disappear without a trace

I just wish I could find the 'Live And Dangerous' version.

Where is Sarah Conner Palin when we need her?

In the Year of Darkness, 2009, the rulers of this planet devised the ultimate plan. They would reshape the Future by changing the Past. The plan required something that felt no pity. No pain. No fear. Something unstoppable. They created 'THE OBAMINATOR'

The Obaminator's an infiltration unit, part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a community organizer - Chicago political thug. Very tough. But outside, it's living human tissue - flesh, skin, hair, blood, grown for the democrats...The 600 series Algores had wooden skin. We spotted them easy. But these are new, they look human. Sweat, cigarette breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him.

Listen, and understand! That Obaminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.



SHUT UP! You still don't get it, do you!? He'll find you! That's what he does! It's all he does! You can't stop him! He'll wade through you, reach down your throat, and tear your [blog edit] heart out!!

Come with me if you want to live.

The fix is in

Is it just me, or is waiting for the CBO to score Obamacare sorta like waiting to see the final score of the Harlem Globetrotter's game...

Slaughter this.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi now plans to use the "deem and pass" strategy to push through the Senate's healthcare reform bill.

Hmmm. OK, I'll bite.

I deem my home mortgage paid in full.

I deem the unopened and discarded census form that arrived in the mail today completed and returned to Obama, peace be unto him.

I deem that Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and their blind and ignorant socialist sheeple can kiss my a$$.

Proud (and sad) Dad today

Author of the following unknown, but this hits home hard today:

These next few weeks may be the last times I see my boy lace ‘em up with an organized team. Fourteen years ago we started, not really knowing anything about this marvelous game. He skated out onto the ice as wobbly as can be. Tonight he glides across the ice cutting his edges into the glimmering sheet of white and throwing snow up to the top of the glass with a hockey stop we could only dream about way back when. He’s worn different jerseys, traveled all over the state and country, in rinks at 6am and 12 midnight. Hotels, motels, sleeping in the van and now the bus – he’s been a real road warrior. He’s had great coaches and some not so great coaches. Some years have been great some not. But all in all, he’s met so many other young men and women that have the same passion and they give their all at game time.

Like you, we’ve spent thousands of dollars on this habit forming game. Sometimes we fell into the marketing and bought the white Fedorov skates, the Nike aluminum sticks, the mini stick games, etc., but we did it for him.

He’s played forward and defense and even played goalie at a tournament and let in 20 goals, but still loved it. Always smiling when he came off the ice, he put reality into our over competitiveness as parents. He simply loved the game.

This week though, it might be different. It may finally hit him that from here on, it might be an occasional lunch skate, Friday night drop in, or maybe adult leagues. How will he deal with it, win or lose after that final game? How will I deal with it?

I only hope we’ve raised him so that his perspective will be positive. He knows that he’s not our only son. Yes, he has a brother that skates too, but over the years he’s had hundred of “brothers” – his team mates. Some have been “best buds”, others have faded into history. But no matter what happens, when and where he ever meets up with these kids again, they have a bond that no one can ever take away. Without a doubt, a hockey team relationships is unique – especially the locker room antics.

Over the next few years, tragedies will occur. Families will split up, some of the parents or even team mates will die and life may longer be as simple as pulling on the old smelly gear. How will my son deal with this? I don’t know, but I do know that through the help of hundreds of other parents, he’s learned so much more about life than I did as a child.

After the last buzzer, God it will be hard. But hugs, tears of disappointment or success will still support the love I have for him and his accomplishments.

Maybe he will continue on. Maybe it’s Juniors, maybe college club hockey, and yes, maybe beer leagues. I may not be able to see him, but I’ll know that if he’s on the ice, he’s in his element and the world is fine.Son, thanks for the joy you’ve given me over the years, you’ve turned out to be an outstanding young man and I’m sure your future is bright. The only thing I ask of you anymore about this game is: When the time is right, please give back for honor and respect those that did the same for you.

Bless all the kids that will lace ‘em up this week and hit the ice in their last games.



It has been one heck of a ride son.

Obama is unveiling his health care proposals

...and has asked the Republicans to attend in good faith. What could possibly go wrong America?

Spandex or Plastic?

I believe it was Albert Einstein who once said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again... especially if that same thing is watching the Olympic Curling competition from the couch through several commercial breaks and expecting an exciting outcome." ...Or something like that.

This is not how I had envisioned my post newspaper career. I always figured it would be me playing shuffleboard on the deck of a ridiculously expensive cruise ship. Oh well. At least there is spandex and drooling involved in both scenarios.

Just so all of you know, most of the above is satire and not necessarily true. I am not spending my time sitting on the couch all day, drooling and feeling sorry for myself, and I never expected a retirement of riches on a cruise ship. I did , however, falsely assume that I would be treated with the consistency and fairness afforded the other departing executives who also found themselves adrift and up the ink creek without a paddle (to continue with the "boat" theme)... but that's for another time.

So in conclusion, that's why I haven't been blogging with any regularity as my computer time has been almost predominately used in actively pursuing employment opportunities. The spandex unitard simply helps prevent chaffing in this endeavor.

OK, it also makes me feel spectacular, ITAWWT?

While I'm here, I might as well take this opportunity to point out a few things I have noticed lately...

In his SOTU address in 1996, President Clinton declared "The era of big government is over." Of course, he was biting his bottom lip and had his fingers crossed behind his back when he said it... but say it, he did.

I am just thankful that Obama, peace be unto him, saw the error of this statement when he poured trillions of dollars into boondoggle projects and future democrat/union slush funds to "stimulate" the economy and save jobs. Sure, the economy continues to shed jobs by the millions, but just think how much worse it could have been.

By the way, I missed Obama's SOTU address. Did he make a declaration that "The era of big Walmart is over", as the behemoth discount retail chain suffers it's first U.S. sales decline?

Great timing. Just as I enter Obama's underground economy, I can't even land a position as a Walmart greeter.

I had my wardrobe all picked out to.

BTW, Tiger Woods owes ME a personal apology. Why do I say this? Well, Heller has been wrong 98.2% of the time, so I'm just playing the odds on this.
