Monday morning stuff

Is this a crazy idea?
There could be as many as 20 plus candidates for the Republican nomination for president in 2016.  Why don’t one or two of these guys/gals get in as Dopes, at least until the 6 Dope debates are over?  They get on stage with The Empty Pant Suit and get more exposure than a crowded Rep field.  When the Dope debates are over, they could pull an Emily Littella (RIP Gilda) and say, “Oh, this is the Dope primary?  Never mind.”

David French’s take on Pam Geller Vs. the Jihadis
I’ve been reading articles by French regarding Pam Geller and the jihadis.  He makes a good point about why people and pundits are attacking Geller for being attacked by the jihadis.  The long and short of it is that they are what Ann Colter called Ed Schultz.   To put it another more family friendly way, they are afraid of the jihadis.  When someone says you shouldn’t do something because it’ll PO this group or that group and you comply it is self-censorship - capitulation to fascism, sharia, the Gaystapo, false charges of racism etc.

NOTE:  Pam Geller made a point about her contest that I’d not heard before.  The contest was actually an art show that displayed images of Mo dating back to 1400s.  It’s only recent history that Mo’s boys cannot tolerate a picture of Mo.

NOTE 2:  Lex calls the jihadi appeasers in the draw Mo controversy the “yeah but crowd.”  Mark Steyn has a much better term.  He calls them “But boys.”  I like it.  I may steal it. 

No more meta data ...for now
In two words here’s why Americans are against the government collecting their phone data: Lois Learner.  Had that lying b*tch and her politically motivated scum co-conspirators at the IRS been wrung up, fined, humiliated and jailed for their BS, the people would be more comfortable that the government would not use the collected data to square political vendettas.  Instead, the lying b*tch is not only walking around Scott free, she’s retired and drawing a government pension from the very people she persecuted.

If Milwaukee County prosecutor John Chisholm were doing interviews in an orange jumpsuit from a prison interview room, the people might trust that government is capable of policing their own.  Chisholm, you might recall from several posts under, is the unscrupulous Dope douche who turned the prosecutor’s office in Milwaukee County into a Dope SS Office serving no knock “John Doe” warrants on Dope political enemies.  This walking, talking POS illegally seized computers and other assets, denied targets legal representation and required that they not tell anyone of his Gestapo like activities. 

Now can anyone imagine how the Shrilldabeast her rapist douche of a “husband” and their no-talent off-spring will use the data?  Shut the government down.  Take all the money going into that phony program and buy Americans guns to protect themselves from the Islamo-Terror-Fascists and government scum like Learner and Chisholm.  Yeah they are separated only by a conjunction.  They are THAT similar.

The case of the missing air
Word is Tom Brady is looking at 2-4 game suspension for his “probable” role in letting the air out of the footballs in the Pat’s AFC Championship game against the Colts.  OK good.  Sadly the Bengals are not on the Pat’s schedule for any of those games. Eh, come to think of it, it saves the Bengals the embarrassment of “probably” getting clobbered by the Pat’s second string QB.

Brady’s lawyer Don Yee is not going to take any punishment laying down.  He makes an interesting point.  Let me try to summarize.

So as I understand all of this, Brady is in trouble for knowingly using footballs that were not properly inflated.  The league was tipped off by the Colts that the Pats might be introducing underinflated footballs into games.  It’s not Tom Brady’s job to insure the footballs are properly inflated.  The officials are responsible for insuring that the game is played within the confines of the rules.

Now if I’ve got this right, the officials whose job it is to ensure the game is played within the rules, knew the Pat’s might be introducing non-regulation footballs into the game and the OFICIALS ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN. 

So if Brady gets a 2-4 game suspension for not pumping the footballs up – not his job - how many games will the NFL suspend the officiating crew for not correcting a rules violation that they were apparently aware of – which is absolutely their job?

 

Last, were I Brady or his lawyer, I’d be asking, “What did Goodell know, and when did he know it?”  HE HAD TO KNOW the AFC Championship game was being played with footballs not quite up to snuff and he allowed it to happen.  Oddly the officials and Goodell “probably” knew as much about this as Brady.  So, how big of a deal can it be if the league knew but didn’t care enough to correct the problem until after halftime?
