The Makings of A Hitler's Rant: Romney Endorses McCain

It has the makings of a "Hitler's Rant." I could see it now on youtube. Hitler points to the map and says "now that Sarah Palin supporters are leaving in droves, we can set up campaign headquarters for Romney here (pointing to a map), here and here. They'll definitely vote for him now."

Then comes the scene where the sweating advisers look at each other. One says, "my fuhrer..." and the other says, "Governor Romney endorsed McCain today." Those of you who know the series can guess the rest. "Those of you who voted for McCain just because Sarah was on the ticket, leave the room." The tirade and the cursing follows. The crying girl outside hears Hitler yell "Just when that Massachussetts RINO had me convinced he was a conservative he goes and does this?!" The woman comforting the girl outside the door says "it's okay, Romney's still against Cap and Trade."

And at the end Hitler hangs his head with melancholy and mutters "I really don't know if we have any other choice now; we're stuck with Ron Paul."

Kurt Busch Going For First Daytona 500 Win

I'm now officially an old timer. Rusty Wallace was my driver. And although I am not as loyal to Kurt Busch as I was to "the man," I am still a team player who roots on Team Penske and the 2 car. I will always have a place in my heart for the coolest looking car on the track.

"Miller Lite Dodge driver Kurt Busch is a strong believer that his longevity and experience will increase the odds in his favor for a breakthrough win in Sunday’s 52nd annual Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway," the Busch team said in a press release issued Tuesday.

Let me steal a quote from the 2 car's former driver: "JUST WIN, BABY!" Rusty Wallace actually said this about his Nationwide Series team, but it sums up what the Penske team has to do this year as well.

It's not fun taking ribbing from Jeff Gordon fans. Team Penske has been beefing up their racing program this year, so look for the number 2 to come before the number 24 not only in the math books, but also on the track.  And look for a great season from a former NASCAR champion this year. The time has come to get back on top. Win, baby, win!

RED NECK NIRVANA!

My interests in NASCAR and my interests in politics will meet this Sunday in Daytona. The ideologically hot Sarah Palin will be at the race. "Rogue-ity, rogue-ity, rogue-ity! Let's go racing, boys!" Ronald Reagan has also been an attendee at the NASCAR classic.

As is always the case with Sarah Palin, bashers go into convulsions, drool all over themselves, need to have nurses clean up their soiled drawers and have to have emergency laptops brought into the operating room so that they can read The Huffington Post. It's the only thing doctors say can save a PDS victim before they flat line.

But the truth of the matter is Sarah Palin bashers are not just about bashing Sarah Palin. They bash her because she represents a significant portion of the population that they don't like. Elitists don't like hard working, rough and tumble middle Americans who go to both church and the track. These all American values represent an existential threat to liberalism, an ideology that believes we should all live in East Berlin style housing, keep our poor people poor so that they are reliant on the government for their subsidies and that God is some outdated concept.

The idea of a gun toting Dale Earnhardt fan who still drives a truck with the number 3 sticker on the back setting up a good old tailgate complete with braats, chicken and cold beer simply scares the shit out of some weaselly faced environmental whacko sitting in their upper west side loft spewing off blogs about how great President Obama is. I kind of wish Keith Olbermann would go to a race so that the rednecks can flip the porta-potty over when he goes to the bathroom. But I digress.

The fact of the matter is, if you check out this website, bashers will not only bash Sarah Palin, they will bash race fans for being white trash, rednecks. Although I originally lived in New York, and am not a redneck by birth, I find I have more in common with the good ole boys here in Richmond than I do with the snobby elites up in New York. I left New York because I hated all the stupid liberals up there. The taxes were ridiculous and the cost of living high.

So I lift a high hearty middle finger to the hop head who wrote the blog about "Redneck Nirvana," and revel in the fact that instead of living in a basement apartment on Long Island and paying rent to a granola eating Rachel Maddow fan, I own my own house in a state that is governed by the great Bob McDonnell. I'll take that kind of conservatism over liberalism anyway.

And it's true. I actually do live next door to a guy named Bubba. And, the people across the street from me are diehard Sarah Palin supporters. The Bob McDonnell for Governor lawn sign I gave them is still up and my friend Billy's dad still has a "I voted for the chick" bumper sticker on his truck. Yeee haaaaa, liberals.

I live ten minutes from Richmond International Raceway. I actually got into NASCAR 10 years ago when a friend of mine who lived down here before I did handed me a beer at 11 am one Sunday in 1999 and said "we're watching NASCAR" today.

So even though Sarah Palin will have no official duties at the race, expect to see her on camera and possibly hear from her as well. There should also be some good media coverage as well. While Weed for Speed might think he is dissing us, I would be proud to call it Redneck Nirvana!

And if the media wants to bash Sarah Palin, to quote John McCain "we don't care."

Bittersweet Week

It has been a really tough week for the folks down here in my hometown of San Diego. The Chargers' loss not only brought the end of a season, but very well could signify the end of an era of LT the Charger, LT, San Diego's pride and joy. I pray that our GM and owners realize the jewel this man is; he is truly the heart and soul of America's Finest City!!!

Here are my picks:

Jets (Under 38) Jets at Indy: INDY 24-10

Minn.at NO (OVER 50) NO 38-31

Conference Championships

Downtown Scottie Brown pulled off one of the biggest upsets in political history defeating Martha Coakley for the Massachussetts Senate. So if I'm the Jets, I have hope.

Here's my picks:

Jets (OVER 38) Jets 21 Indy 20
NO (OVER 50) NO 35 Min 31

Playoffs: The Heat is On!!!

Well, I want to share some awesome news with you all: This football picking princess has been chosen as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. Make sure to read all about it here. This is sure to be an exciting weekend as my Chargers play, competing for the chance to play in this year's superbowl. I know my team is ready, is yours? Have a great weekend, football lovers!!!

Ari/NO 52: NO - OVER; 31-24

Bal/Indy 45: BAL - OVER; 27-24

Dallas/Min: 46 DALLAS - OVER; 24-21

NYJ/SD 42: SAN DIEGO- OVER; 31-17

Brown Vs. Coakley (Okay it's really Patrick Vs. Rachelle)

Scott Brown and Martha Coaxley are in a tie right now for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat. This is like one of those games where you figure brown is going to get slaughtered. You may remember a few years ago the Patriots were heavy favorites to beat the Giants in the Super Bowl. Yet, the Giants pulled close and won it on a miracle play at the end of the game.

This race is like the game you don't watch at first because you figure it's going to be a blow out and your friend calls in the 4th quarter with your team driving and tells you "dude, put the game on." Jet fans will understand the feeling. If the Jets won as big a game as this is, it would pandemonium in New York. In fact its kind of like the election. Maybe I shouldn't be counting the Jets out.

So we root on Scott Brown and support his run on our blogs and hope for the best.

Hoping for the best like my football picks.

Pop culture side note: Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck offer NBC to co-host Saturday Night Live.

Okay, back to Rachelle who I beat last week by 1 measley point on the tiebreaker. This week we're going to try it again. Let's hope there is no recount and it's a clean victory by moi.


ari/no 52 no - over (NO 34 ARI 27)
bal/ind 45 ind - over (IND 28 Bal 21)
dal/min 46 dal - over (DAL 38 MIN 31)
jet/sd 42 sd - over (SD 24 Jet 21)

tiebreaker - 54 pts

I HEART Wildcard Playoff Weekend!!!

Well, fellow pig skinners, with the regular season over, it's time for some playoff football. It's that time of year for those whose teams felt the tinge of defeat to pick that one or even two teams to root for. As you all know, Losertman, Patrick, lost AGAIN last week to yours truly. Did I mention that's the second week in a row? I have to hand it to him though. He stepped up to the plate and conceded in front of thousands like a good loser should, so for that, I curtsy!!!

As you all know, I am a HUGE Charger fan. Unlike the New Englands and Dallases out there, my Chargers have only been to the superbowl one time, and that game ended in defeat. I'm truly hoping that this season does not end with another bawl-out session with a bowl of Hagan Daz like it did last season. How ironic that the Chargers beat the Steelers to go to the super bowl years ago, and last year the Steelers beat the Chargers to get to the big show? Anyway, that is something for another day. Unlike the eight teams, who will be duking it out this weekend, my Chargers will be resting comfortably at home, watching the games. With that, I give you my Wildcard Playoff Picks:

NYJ at CIN: NYJ/OVER

PHI at DAL: DAL/UNDER

BAL at NE: NE/ UNDER

GNBAY at ARI: GNBAY/ Score=28-21/OVER
