Spurrier on Auburn

A fire at Auburn Univ. library reportedly destroyed 20 books. This morning on ESPN, Steve Spurrier,  just resigned as FB head coach at South Carolina, offered that real tragedy was that 15 of them had not yet been colored.

DEMS WANT MORE CANCER

Esquire Magazine's list of the 10 dumbest vice-presidents ever includes these  post 19th- century VPs: #9 #7 #4 Dan Quayle (...because he had a habit of saying really dumb things.. ) Spiro Agnew (... the public was largely willing to overlook his habit of using terms like "fat Jap" — but we do like them to turn down bribes ...) Dick Cheney (He voted against the Head-Start program!) What?  No Al Gore?  No Joe Biden, fer chrissake?  I mean, is it possible that anyone, ever, compiled a list of more outrageously stupid quotes than has Joe Biden?  Did I say ever? GOOGLE search for STUPID QUOTES Al Gore - About 401,000 (0.45 seconds) Jo Biden- About 412,000 (0.44 seconds) Dick Cheney-About 343,000 (0.46 seconds) Dan Quayle (198,000 (1.01 seconds) Hell, I double dog-dare you to produce more insanely stupid quotes by an Executive team, than have Obama/Biden so far racked up!  Biden's sudden recovery, of course, is due to Hillary Clinton's woes (can you believe that she supposedly still beats the GOP front runner Donald Trump, despite being 2 inches away from a prison cell - for the 32nd time in her career?).  Stalwart Dem voters are left with Bernie Sanders or Martin O'Malley.  O'Malley is still my guess to get the nomination. Both are losers. But so is Biden-in spades! Tangentially, in trying to reconcile how so many Dem voters can be so gullible, and/or flat stupid, I'm struck by this personal observation.  Nobody I know, who has a life, spends much time (if any) on the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc.  They are,  all of them, politically  conservative.  Of those I know who are immersed in social networking, almost all have a pronounced liberal bent.  I dawdled myself with a Face Book (family) account for a few months, and straightaway I was blasted (and banned) by a family member for disagreeing with a leftist article —on his Timeline—which caused considerable embarrassment. That cloistered mindset, where viewpoints that challenge  group doctrine are blocked,  is responsible for the sorry state we find ourselves in. Liberals are often driven by a single self  serving  issue that trumps any E Pluribus Unumcy they may have once possessed.  Call  it a compound fracture of the body politic.

Tails of the Gun Nutters 10 Dumb Anti Gun Quotes By Politicians

On December 7, 1993, Carolyn McCarthy's  husband, Dennis, was killed, and her son, Kevin, was severely injured on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train at the Merillon Avenue station in the village of Garden City, when 35-year-old Colin Ferguson opened fire on passengers.  Ferguson killed six and wounded 19 others (with no resistance)  McCarthy responded to the crime by launching a campaign for more stringent gun control that eventually propelled her to Congress in 1996 on the Democratic ticket. She defeated freshman Republican Dan Frisa by a large margin. In the biographical 1998 television movie The Long Island Incident, which portrayed these events, she was played by actress Laurie Metcalf. Carolyn McCarthy's attack on the Second Amendment has never made sense to me, for reasons so obvious that I shan't list them (except to say that I'll bet money that her son Kevin wishes every day that he was carrying that day). Like Sarah Brady, I believe she's been well used by gunnutters and fellow travelers.

Liberals have this terrible habit ...

Liberals have this terrible and annoying habit of congratulating themselves for their intellectual heft merely because they hold liberal views. Once this arrogant notion reigns, it's tough for liberals to acknowledge when one of their own says something so remarkably untrue and stupid that it makes you wonder just how ignorant is the liberal really. -- L. Brent Bozell III That lede from Hillary Clinton Flunks Economics is so good I want to gild it and put it in a glass case.  The story itself is only another example of stupid things Hillary Clinton gets away with; e.g. At an event for Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley in Boston on Oct. 24, Hillary Clinton told the assembled Democratic faithful: "Don't let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs." I'm adding it to my (now 5) favorite Hillary Quotes: "We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." "God bless the America we are trying to create." "I have to confess that it's crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian." "Come on Bill, put your dick up!  You can’t fuck her here!!” (to Gov. Clinton when she spots him talking with an attractive female). Don't let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs.
