While the IMAO podcast is still MIA, I’m going to keep posting the latest uncut Fun Facts About The 50 States – hopefully on a weekly(ish) schedule.

Best. Game. Ever.
Here’s the highlights of the last minutes of the Fiesta Bowl (thank you Allahpundit of Hot Air). Watch especially for the hook and lateral play that puts them into OT and the Statue of Liberty play that completes the two point conversion to win the game:
It’s still 2006 in Turtle Bay
How long before The UN catches up in its copyright notice?
I’m always amused at how long it takes the webmasters at Turtle Bay to notice the fine details in between translating the phrase “It’s not anti-Semitism… it’s anti-Zionism” into seventy-six languages.
In 2005, they still had it showing 2004 as of September 30th. (I think they updated it sometime in November, just in time so they could be out-of-date for most of 2006)
Let’s Put Those Hundreds of Millions of Guns Americans Own to Good Use
The Democrats are soon taking over Congress while right now the world is threatened by murderous thugs and nuclear weapons, and what are the three things their going to act on first? The minimum wage, student loans, and Medicare.
Come on!
Seriously, just give these guys a sandbox to play in while the adults handle the problems. I’m tired of the federal government focusing on piddling crap and ignoring the one thing it was created for: Destroying countries we hate.
Is anyone in the government going to focus on killing our enemies? Anyone?
Fine. Americans are self-reliant people. If the government isn’t handling something, we handle it ourselves. It works out better that way. Perhaps, for the first time ever, private citizens will have to handle foreign affairs. I’m thinking of organizing a group to fly over to countries we don’t like, completely trash the places with whatever munitions we get our hands on, and then we wrap it up in a bar somewhere over beers. I just need a cool name for it. Maybe “Citizens for Scared Foreigners.”
This could be a great idea. Think of the effect it would have on other nations if they knew that, if they pissed America off, a group of angry American citizens could suddenly come into their country and kick their ass. And they can’t complain to the American government to stop us because their two busy figuring out what’s a “living wage.” I say we first attack the Mexican government for sucking so much and because it’s only a drive away. Then we can work on getting transportation to rough up all the idiots in the Middle East. Bring ammo and sunscreen.
Thus Ends the Rumors that Donald Rumsfeld Is Captain America’s Alter-Ego

“I feel so dumb with these two that I’m going to punch myself in the face.”
The picture comes from this old story sent to me by reader Dane.
We spin the dreidel while Iran spins the centrifuges…
Did Adam Sandler get stoned and update his stupid Hanukkah Song again?
Sissy
Well, I haven’t been following the news for over a week so I’m a bit out of the loop. I heard that Saddam Hussein tried to escape his prison but was then tackled by Gerald Ford who then stangled Saddam before Ford’s own heart gave out. They will both be… uh… acknowledged.
Anyway, it’s a new year, and my resolution is to fight the sissification of America. We can’t end up like Europe which is so sissy that it’s probably not long for this world. We have enemies who understand little more than strength (which is true for all enemies America has ever faces) and that what makes it important that we do things confidentially and unapologetically… even if it ends up it wasn’t the right thing to do. There’s too much second guessing going on in national affairs, and the world needs at least one country out there that confident enough to just smash its obstacles while not vacillating about it like some big John Kerry.
Now, you may say as you step on my glasses and push me into the mud, “But, Frank, you’re a sissy.” Maybe, but it’s time for all of us to stop being part of the problem. There’s too much femininity in today’s society. And there’s too much blaming society. Sissies blame others and whine about their circumstances. Did Jesus ever whine when He got nailed to a cross for trumped up charges? No. He may have been for peace and love, but He was no sissy.
So, that’s the theme for the new year: Everyone needs to stop being a bunch of sissies. Going to Iraq was a great idea, the region is going to be better off for it, and, if you disagree, then maybe you should spend less time worrying about foreign affairs and more time searching for your missing penis.
I’ll post more soon… but, if I don’t, I guess I was too busy. I won’t apologize for it.
Boise! Boise!
BOISE!
Most exciting college game I have ever seen. Wish I was still back in Boise for this win (though watching it on HD is hard to beat). The touchdown that brought the game into OT is one for the books.
