Not Good
Sydney Crosby injured in the disaster that was the Coyotes game.
Here’s hoping he’s not out for long, and Therrien manages to fix the offense problem.

I just realized this is Hundreds of Kids Beat On Your Door for Candy night.
I was sure that was tomorrow.
Oh well.

Dirty Harry’s voting for the ObamaMoron:
his 30 minute infomercial just gave me diabetes and I’m gonna need the healthcare.

It’s on the Hillary Forum, but it seems to be down. It’s also been posted at Red State: Hillary staffer comes clean. The author isn’t identified, and I’m inclined to doubt these sorts of things, but this makes me suspect this may be genuine.
Obama’s radical connections. Standards operating procedure has been to cry “racism” whenever […]

Pot roast. Well, without carrots, because I didn’t have any. And it’s not yankee pot roast. Don’t do the taters and carrots in the stock thing. You can add any seasoning you want, but since when did beef need anything but salt and pepper? Same goes for venison or elk, although juniper berries are traditional, […]

Ace:
Democratic lawyers, and the Democratic prosecutors in Ohio, advise us that Ohio law is “confusing” on the point that one can only vote in a state if one actually lives in that state.
Well, confusion certainly explains this.
Congressman John Hall (D-Dover Plains) fired one of his long-time campaign advisers Tuesday, after learning that she’s embroiled […]

You remember the crap about the emissions test. The day after I drove out here, I took the Explorer to Midas for an overhaul. While waiting, a mechanic came to tell me, “This won’t pass the test,” as he pointed to a quarter-sized spot of rust on the running board.
“Test? What test?”
“The emissions test. See, […]

ACORN on trial.
A former employee of an affiliate of ACORN testified yesterday that the community group now in the national spotlight knew that most new voter registration forms it had gathered were fraudulent.
“Forty percent was OK,” said Anita Moncrief, referring to the number of bona fide registrations that officials at the Association of Community Organizations […]

and shake his (or her) hand: Huge Democrat Turn Out In Florida Turns Into Huge McCain-Palin Gains - UPDATED!
Democrats have an almost 2 to 1 advantage in numbers, yet McCain leads in the vote totals. RCP has Obama up 3.5% in Florida - totally opposite this massive wave of early voting. According to a GMU […]

Obama: 44.2%

The Review Journal:
With the election still a week away, nearly a quarter of the Nevada electorate has already cast ballots, according to the secretary of state.
Through the end of voting Sunday, about 300,000 people had voted early statewide, a turnout of 24.9 percent of the state’s 1.2 million active voters. In Clark County, 211,000 had […]

The local rag a couple of weeks ago announced that The First Dude would be at the Homecoming tailgate, but didn’t bother to write a story afterward. They did cover last night’s Palin rally. And Mitch, who was just going to go, got lassoed into working the rally.

How does somebody with so little political (or common) sense who is so scornful of his own constituents get elected in the first place — much less re-elected for 87 years?
And I wouldn’t complain about carpetbaggers if I were a Democrat. If it weren’t for carpetbaggers, Democrats wouldn’t have half the seats in Congress they […]

A long-time friend from Indiana sent me this, and I’m posting it with permission. It echoes some things I’ve been wanting to say but haven’t, because — frankly — I’m fairly disgusted. With the Democrats. With a faction in the GOP. With the nation at large. When I can calmly discuss it, I will.
Here it […]

but after the election, not before. The tax raise was on those making $250,000 a year and up. Then, it went to $200,000. Now, it’s $150,000.
So how far down will they dare adjust it before the election?

And I may not go to the rally tonight. I know, I know, but remember: I’ve been to three so far. Look, it’s cold as hell. Well, it’s technically 41, but it’s very windy. I looked at the temp, threw on a T-shirt and a windbreaker, and went to headquarters. I was way underdressed. And […]

I should have been at headquarters already. I’ll be back this afternoon. No time, no time!

In a local restaurant my server had on an Obama 08 tie; again I laughed as he had given away his political preference - just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution […]

Oh, when the moonbats go off their meds! And a pop quiz.
Which candidate running for president today…
…has threatened the FCC licenses of television stations choosing to run ads produced by independent groups supporting his opponent?
…had taxpayer funded “Truth Quads” comprised of prosecutors and law enforcement officers threatening his ideological opponents in an effort to stifle […]

I’m not big on identity politics, but this woman has a point.
I cannot predict who will win the presidential campaign, but I already know who will lose big: all women.
I realized this when I saw a 20-something male student who attends a class in the community college where I teach, wearing a T-shirt that […]

especially Michigan, via Frugal Hoosiers, I found this about Mitch Daniels.
Between 2005 and 2006 - with a Republican legislature - deficit spending was wiped away with a balanced budget. A bipartisan effort on telecommunications reform in 2006 brought broadband services to more than 100 rural communities, creating more than 2,000 new jobs across and […]

This weekend was good for college football. For the first time in 30 years, Penn State defeated Ohio State 13-6 in Columbus, in Ohio State’s Homecoming game. That’s schadenfreude, ja sure. And in Memorial Stadium, IU beat Northwestern 21-19 in IU’s Homecoming game. Course, it remains to be seen what happens at Heinz Field when […]

Game starts at 3:30. Thing is, I need to make sure I can find a place to park near the rink.
Last night’s Navy game was 7-1. Today’s game isn’t likely to go into OT.

A mystery is solved.
(I’ve wondered, too, why it is that the dead ALL - every one of them - votes a straight Dem ticket. Maybe they’re the only ones with no more estate tax worries?

Seems they have Democrats in Oz.
Federal Government experts want people to use the word “dryness” to describe Australia’s worst drought in a century.
The word “drought” makes farmers feel bad, says the government’s hand-picked Drought Policy Review Expert Social Panel.
If the Obamination wins, look for lots of this stupid crap here.

It’s actually raining, so we get to get wet doing errands. After we get back, we have to watch (or delete) several hours of TV, because two games are set to record today, and my hard drive is getting full.

#3, at 5-1-0. Course, the games we have to win are the ones against the Illini. But the Penn State Icers have started the season strong.
Icers-Delaware

Icers-Delaware

Icers-Adrian
16-1 (Ouch!)
Icers-Robert Morris
6-3
Icers-Michgan (Dearborn)

Icers-Pitt

Icers-Navy
7-1 (Ouch!)
This afternoon is the second Navy game. Don’t look for me here; I’ll be at the rink.

Saint:
You know you are really in trouble when even the Russians notice the Sovietization of your press.
That ties with Don Surber:
Democrat Joe Biden visits Charleston and draws a “crowd of several hundred” to hear how he once saw a moose at the National zoo.

H/T Ace for this.
But worst of all, for the last couple weeks, I’ve begun — for the first time in my adult life — to be embarrassed to admit what I do for a living. A few days ago, when asked by a new acquaintance what I did for a living, I replied that […]

I can’t find confirmation of this. Malkin (Michelle, not Evgeni) says it was leaked to her, and that may very well be true and the results haven’t yet been published. Recall that the Susquehanna poll yesterday had Lt. Col. Bill Russell only four points behind Murtha, after him calling his own constituents racists and all? […]

Biden attempted to insult Johnny Mac — by calling him John McClane (the idiot reporter misspelled the character’s name). Well actually, that’s ascribing too much intelligence to Biden. What he did was mistakenly call John McCain “John McClane,” and then when he realized what he’d said, tried to turn it into an insult.
I’m with Ed […]
