I hate to resort to exploiting myself as a sex object to gain blog hits - but, what good are man boobs if you don't flaunt 'em?!
P.O.E.T.S. - it’s like Celebrity Rehab - only there's no one named Baldwin here…
They tried to rig the caucus sites in Vegas to favor the Obama supporters - but, apparently, it didn't help all that much. Chalk up another WIN for HILLARY - The Grown-Up!
Hillary Clinton was campaigning door-to-door in Nevada when one man told her his wife was illegal and Hillary told him that no woman is illegal. She misspoke. What she meant to say is that there's nothing a woman can do in Nevada that's illegal.

"When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he's looking.
"See, if he's lookin' at my eyes, he's lookin' for intelligence.
"If he's lookin' at my mouth, well he's lookin' for wit and wisdom.
"And if he's lookin' anywhere else except my chest, he's lookin' for another man." [Miss Dolly]
Bobby Fischer (64) reclusive Chicago-born chess genius who became a Cold War icon by dethroning Boris Spassky, the Soviet world champion, in 1972. Fischer lost his world title in 1975 after refusing to defend it against Anatoly Karpov. He was wanted in the US for playing a 1992 rematch against Spassky in Yugoslavia in defiance of international sanctions. Renouncing his US citizenship, Fischer dropped out of competitive chess and largely out of view, emerging occasionally to make erratic and often anti-Semitic comments, although his mother was Jewish. In 2005, he moved to Iceland, a chess-mad nation and site of his greatest triumph. He had suffered for some time from an unspecified illness and died in Reykjavik, Iceland on January 17, 2008.

“We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.” [Martin Luther King, Jr.]
"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."

"President Bush is over in the Gulf now begging the Saudis and others to drop the price of oil. How pathetic." [Hillary]
"Dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace." [Bush, calling himself a dictator]
"It is dominion we are after. Not just a voice ... not just influence ... not just equal time. It is dominion we are after." [George Grant, militant Christian Reconstructionist Author, pal of Hucklebuck]
GOVERNOR HUCKABEE'S DOMINIONIST LANGUAGE
"When two irreconcilable views emerge, one is going to dominate. Ours will either be a worldview with humans at the center or with God at the center ... The winning worldview will dominate public policy, the laws we make, and every other detail of our existence." [Governor Hucklebuck in his book, "Character Is the Issue: How People With Integrity Can Revolutionize America", 1997]
“We have a candidate who openly wants to make the US a religious state, and he's the frontrunner on the Republican side. There are a large number of people who want this demented fuckwit to run the country. And the pundits of the news media are sucking their thumbs and watching…” [Prof. PZ Myers @ Pharyngula]

WELL HOWDY, REV’LERS!

Welcome to our crib in Metro Fairborn and THE STAND-UP! - Its like Lassie - except Timmy's bound and ball-gagged in the attic.
"Olde Frothingslosh" Pale Stale Ale... Makes me wanna get to Pittsburgh as soon as the weather breaks!
PLEASE - join Da Rev & Da Pagan Baby in contributing to an all out effort to eradicate a horrific malady brought to our attention by a Alba Hurlbut. I hope we can count on a check from everyone here this weekend for $500. or more for continuing research into “Swelling Runs”…
I believe silence causes sterility. I can’t prove it - but I’m not taking any chances…
I drove past Dr. Phil’s and there were cries for help, allright - but they were coming from the basement.
The American Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday that sex in a public bathroom stall is private and legal. It's sad. All the work that public health officials did to convince people they cannot get AIDS from a toilet seat is pretty much down the drain.
Having sex in public restrooms is private???
I thought part of the thrill of having sex in a public bathroom is the fact that it IS NOT private.
Makes you wonder what happens at an ACLU party.
More people are saying they have seen UFOs. What, if anything, might one deduce from these “sightings”?
John Lennon once claimed he saw a UFO over New York City.
Then, years later, he was "silenced" once and for all.
Coincidence? I think not.
Aliens are like Germans, they're into bondage and like jumpsuits.

HYBRID
In the news: Hybrid vehicles are so quiet at slow speed, blind pedestrians say they're a safety risk.
So - if you're driving a hybrid vehicle today - please - purely and simply for safety reasons - roll down your car windows - and turn up the sound system EXTRA LOUD! Thank you.
I’m a hybrid human - I run on alcohol.
Your VIDEO: The Tom Cruise Interview the Scientologists don’t want you to see. Poor Tom. He poses as so much more intelligent than the rest of us - but he’s just pretty dumb - and batshit CRAZY!!
Your outtake from THE VIEW : Da Rev has always appreciated Joy Behar’s sass and comedic flair - but who knew?! It looks here as if Joy is an agnostic - taking on the wing nut Hasselbeck and the retarded black girl Sherry. Anyway - she pissed off a lot of people with her comments. Thanx t’ The Bacon-Eating Atheist Jew
Dinesh D'Souza: Winner of the 2007 Bad Faith Award
The publication of our January/February issue of The New Humanist saw the coronation of Dinesh D'Souza as 2007's most scurrilous enemy of reason, after he walked away with their prestigious Bad Faith Award having scooped an astonishing 22% of the public vote.
In a field crowded by heavyweights like the Bishop of Carlisle, Chuck Norris and Pope Benedict XVI, D'Souza came from nowhere to seize the award ahead of many of the world's leading bigots, charlatans and proselytisers. I found this here [Prof. PZ Myers @ Pharyngula]

Bush Statement
President Bush says the economy only needs a short term stimulus plan… mostly because next year, he won’t have to worry about the economy anymore.
Romney Wins
Mike Hucklebuck came in third in Michigan, mostly because most of the state’s Evangelical voters moved out of Michigan when God decided to forsake Detroit in 1968.
Romney won Michigan. To celebrate, he handed out air fresheners to laid off auto workers living in their cars." [Tony Peyser]
Gaza Violence
While Israeli troops were arresting and killing leading terrorist figures in Gaza yesterday, Hamas gunmen shot and killed a volunteer farmer near the Gaza border. In response, European governments are calling for a war on farming.
U.S. Baby Room
The U.S. birthrate is now at a 45-year high. Experts blame a decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, and crotchless panties.
The rising American birthrate is expected to keep growing… unless the Hollywood writers go back to work and give everyone something else to do at night besides having sex.
Citi Losses
Because of housing market losses, Citigroup may lay off up to 24,000 workers... further hurting the housing market when those 24,000 workers have to put their homes up for sale - or go into foreclosure.

President Bush flew to Egypt Wednesday where he was greeted by President Hosni Mubarek on landing. It was his eighth country on the trip. President Bush kissed so many Arab men this week that reporters were calling him “Princess Diana”…
The American Red Cross announced Wednesday it is having to cut staff jobs due to a decline in donations last year. What could people do? After their mortgage lenders came after their blood in the fourth quarter, there was little left for the Red Cross.
Hillary Clinton won the debate with Barack Obama and John Edwards Tuesday. She somehow got Obama to give up the race issue and Edwards to stop saying how poor he used to be. All women have to do is threaten to cry and men just do whatever they say.
Senator John McLame restated his opposition to the Traitor/Confederate flag Wednesday in South Carolina. He loves telling people what they don't want to hear. He told people in Michigan their jobs are never coming back, he told South Carolina the Rebel flag is wrong, and when he gets to California, he plans to tell everybody their actual age.
Mike “The Hillbilly Christian Leader” Huckabee said he wants to amend the Constitution to conform to the Bible. This is insane. For instance - the Bible prohibits the eating of shellfish, and the Republicans have no shortage of Episcopalians they can nominate if Mike Huckabee wants to outlaw lobster.
President Bush hailed Palestinians for their new democracy this week. It's a noble experiment. The idea is to take a nation that's one-third snipers, one-third bomb makers and one-third kidnappers and see what happens when you give them majority rule.
Condi Rice made a surprise visit to Baghdad in the middle of President Bush's Middle East tour. She met with the prime minister and told him not to squander any more opportunities. He agreed he should take the pill that works for thirty-six hours.
President Bush did the sword dance when he marched in a Saudi Arabian military parade this week. He swayed left and right in perfect choreography with a Saudi honor guard as they marched down the street together arm-in-arm with swords held high. If it looked any gayer he would be impeached by the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.
RANT, REV - RANT: One should have attained a "sense of the Presidency" after 7 years in the office. For the life of me, I don't think there are any photo-ops where JFK or Ike dons the sombrero... or dances with the natives... or otherwise so easily plays the fool - and in foreign capitals!
Barack Obama called a press conference in Reno to try to calm down the tone in his primary contest with Hillary Clinton. It pits a candidate from the oppressor gender and victim race against someone from the oppressor race and victim gender. It has us Democrats spinning in circles so fast we're too dizzy to vote!
President Bush arrived in Riyadh Monday and announced the approval of advanced weapons sales to the kingdom. It was his first visit to Saudi Arabia. For crying out loud, he's been president for seven years, it's about time he met with the owners.
Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network - the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). She’s gonna move everything - her show, her magazine and her TV network - to her own state of the Union - Oprahoma!

MATERIAL GAL
Tabloid gossip: Madonna spends $10,000 a month on specially blessed Kabbalah bottled water. Oh yeah, the "specially blessed" water is very expensive. But the "regular blessed" water is only 4-thousand bucks a month.
EDDIE
Eddie Murphy and his wife have separated after 15 days. Whoa!!
When a regular, down-to-Earth, steady fellow like Eddie Murphy can't make marriage work - what hope is there for Mike or Jerry??
MORE Argus
A Year with the Queen was bought Tuesday by ABC, which will air the documentary film about Queen Elizabeth's private life and public duties. The ratings should be tremendous. The less Americans like our presidential choices, the better Plan A looks.

HUNKS FOR THE LADIES
LARRY (GREAT) SCOTT
At the cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?"
The other replied, "Yes, I am, I married the wrong man."
MISS DOLLY - I would crawl on my hands and knees through broken glass just t' smell of it...
After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you."
The husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice."
A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds: "Wife wanted."
Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
