Liberal logic

You'd think after a while, I'd get used to liberals saying and doing stupid things. But, I really don't get used to it. It still amazes me that people can be so stupid and still manage to walk upright.

It's sort of like a Road Runner cartoon. Wile E. Coyote thinks he's a "Super Genius" but comes up with some hair-brained plan that ends with him ordering rocket-powered roller skates and blowing himself up or splattering himself against a canyon wall.

You know he's going to do it. You know his logic is flawed. But you enjoy watching him make an idiot of himself time after time.

Watching liberals is that way. Except, Wile E. Coyote was a creation of the hilariously twisted minds of Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. Today's liberals? Living cartoons, except there are too many of them running loose, with way too many holding elected office.

Still, there's a little bit of that "watching the Coyote" thing that keeps me paying attention to what liberals say and do. Their logic is ... Wile E. Coyote-style Super Genius.

For example:

• Liberals think that early snow and cold weather is a sign of Global Warming ™.
• Liberals believe that conservatives who support Herman Cain do so because conservatives hate blacks.
• Liberals think that Americans shouldn't own guns, but think it's okay to run guns to Mexican drug lords.
• Liberals believe that the TEA Party is bad because they could be violent, even though they're not violent.
• Liberals think that the Occupy groups are good, despite their violence.
• Liberals believe that the solution to problems caused by government is more government.
• Liberals think that killing an unborn baby is fine, but executing a convicted killer is bad.
• Liberals believe in Affirmative Action, in which blacks are treated different than whites, because blacks have suffered in the past by being treated different than whites.
• Liberals think you shouldn't impose your morality on them, while imposing their immorality on you.

Despite the obvious fallacies in their logic, liberals get up every day, try to live according to these beliefs, fail miserably, and then do it all again.

Liberals. Super geniuses.

Who's gonna lose, week 9

The 9th week of the 2011 college football season is upon us, and we're getting closer and closer to the big showdown in January between the SEC champion and this year's victim. Heading into the week, there are 8 unbeaten teams: two in the SEC and 6 trying to earn a spot in the game against one of them.

Except for LSU and Alabama, the top two teams, the other six don't play each other, so there could be as many as 7 undefeated teams at the end of the season. Personally, I hope that happens. Anything that helps make the case for a playoff is a good thing. If they had a playoff, Houston, Boise State, Clemson, or any of the others that are likely to get left out would truly have a chance. But the NCAA won't listen to me.

It's time to check out the schedule and see what big games are scheduled. We'll look at the matchups between ranked teams, games involving teams from my state, Frank J's state, and Harvey's state. And a few of the other games where the game is the only game on the boob tube.

If you don't like college football, you must be a Ron Paul supporter. If you do, let's see if we can figure out who's gonna lose this week.

Who said college football was fair?

As the 2011 college football season winds down and upsets are knocking out some of the sports heads' favorites, the TV faces are scrambling to find a team to rally behind. And they seem to have chosen Stanford.

The ESPN has an article up talking about how Stanford compares to the best in the SEC.

And guess who Sports Illustrated is talking about? That's right. Stanford.

With losses by ESPN favorites Oklahoma and Wisconsin, the sports media is trying to find another team to tout. It's looking like Stanford may be their pick. They certainly don't want Number 4 Boise State, who will have spent the entire year clubbing baby seals. And they don't believe in Number 3 Oklahoma State, the only Big 12 team in the mix, nor do they believe in Number 5 Clemson.

Look for all the sports heads to start talking about how amazing that Stanford team is. If they run the table, look for them to jump Clemson, Boise State, and Oklahoma State so they can face the SEC champ.

It's happened before. Remember the 1977 season? With New Year's Day 1978 losses by Number 1 Texas and Number 2 Oklahoma, you'd figure Number 3 Alabama would slip right into the championship. But Number 5 Notre Dame, the media darling, jumped the Crimson Tide to claim the top spot.

How about the end of the 1983 season? Number 1 Nebraska and Number 2 Texas lost. Does Number 3 Auburn move to the top? Nope, Number 5 Miami does.

In 2004, Auburn was unbeaten and Number 3 behind Southern California and Oklahoma. The top two had held those spots the entire season, while Auburn opened the season at Number 18, the lowest of 5 SEC teams in the season-opening poll. Southern Cal and Oklahoma each won 2 games against ranked teams during the season, while Auburn won 4. But, being the media darlings, Southern Cal and Oklahoma played for the BCS title.

And look at the 2007 season. At Thanksgiving, Georgia was sitting at Number 4, behind Number 1 Missouri, Number 2 West Virginia, and Number 3 Ohio State. The Bulldogs needed two of those teams to lose. Missouri and West Virginia did. Does Georgia move up to Number 2? No, they drop to Number 5, after Number 7 LSU, Number 6 Virginia Tech, and Number 9 Oklahoma jump them, shutting Georgia out of the BCS championship.

So, this year, if Stanford runs the table -- and they just might; they don't play anybody worth a damn -- look for them to somehow make it to the game against the SEC champ. And then get blown out.

Would that be fair to Oklahoma State, Boise State, or Clemson? No. But who said college football was fair?

Certainly not Alabama, Auburn, or Georgia.

S-s-s-s-s-mokin'!

Have you seen the new ad from the Herman Cain campaign?


[Direct link]

CBS calls it "bizarre" and notes that the ad is, currently, unlisted. Which means you can't go to the Cain YouTube channel and find it unless you know where to look.

ABC takes the opportunity to run down a list of Cain campaign staff with "interesting" backgrounds.

The Atlantic asks, "For real?"

Rather than go on, let me sum up the reaction: the ad generated a lot of criticism from people who already didn't like Herman Cain.

I'm not a smoker, so it didn't particularly appeal to me. But smokers don't like being criticized, just like everybody else.

Obama smokes, but hides it. Cain's campaign manager smokes, and posts it on YouTube.

I'm wondering how this is going to play out.

Choices

Everybody is talking taxes. Okay, not everybody. But some of the major Republican candidates are.

Herman Cain has a plan ... two actually ... to remake the tax code. One is his 999 plan. If you keep reading about 999, though, you'll see that the long-term plan is to convert to what some call the Fair Tax. 999 involves income, corporate, and sales tax. The Fair Tax is simply a national sales tax.

Now, Rick Perry has come out with his own plan: a 20% flat tax rate for everybody. It's an income tax, not a sales tax.

Waste of time. And here's why.

Changing the tax code won't do any good if the government keeps spending. They want to talk income, when the problem is outgo.

"Captain Smith, the lookout has spotted an ice berg dead ahead!"

"Very good, Mister Murdoch. Have the deck chairs rearranged immediately!"

"Aye, aye, sir."

If we don't cut spending, then 999 will become 20-20-20, then 30-30-30, then 50-50-50, and so on. Or, Perry's flat tax won't be 20%. It'll be 40%. Then 60% And so on.

We've got to cut spending. But that's hard. We can't handle hard. Never have been able to.

Oh. Well, maybe we were able to do hard things. Maybe we still are. If we only decided to.

But if the whiney tittie babies that are occupying Wall Street, or sitting in the cabinet, or sitting in the Oval Office were around earlier in our nation's history, things would be different. And not good different.

"Go to the moon? Imperialist! I'll make a movie about it. Now give me a sandwich. Extra mayo." -- An nameless Hollywood filmmaker.

"You've brought us into this war under false pretenses. Germany didn't attack us. Japan did! And that's because of our support for Jews! We need to bring our troops home now!" -- An unnamed Texas Congressman.

"That's just like an evil Republican president. Next he'll be using troops to seize property from people. What? He suspended habias corpus? Somebody needs to take Lincoln out." -- An unnamed Democrat

"Look at those awful Tea Partiers! It's not safe to visit Boston Harbor any more. I tell you, they're going to get violent one day!" -- An unnamed government worker

The whiners and complainers need to shut the hell up. And we need to make some hard choices. It will be difficult, and hurt at times. But, like exercise, that's when you know it's working.

But, until we quit rearranging the deck chairs, we're going to crash head on into that ice berg. Then, folks won't be talking about pulling the car out of the ditch; they'll be trying to get the ship off the bottom of the ocean.
