Nice opportunity for some alliteration there.
What are you people gonna do this weekend? Are you “Final FOUR!!!!11!!1!!” or “*yawn* they still have college basketball going on when it’s practically summer?”
Whatever the case, it’s a pretty big deal and we’re getting some use out of Reliant Stadium, which always helps.
VCU (whoever they are) all the way baby!
Update: I heard on the radio this morning that there was some kind of water pipe break near an equipment room at the stadium. Power is now out for much of the air conditioning and the stadium lights. Sounds to me like a transformer got flooded or something. They were working to get things back in shape for tonight.
If they can’t, I wonder how postponable something like this is. I can’t imagine all the logistics involved in that.

If the Muslims really cared about Jones burning their book to the extent they rioted in Afghanistan, they would have killed him by now. This was nothing more than an excuse to have a riot and be the murdering bastards they are in public.
#169 & 170 None of it matters except what the guy pinned down by sniper fire in Helmand Province thinks, lying in a ditch, praying the air cover shows up before any more of his guys get picked off, hoping the JAG officers back in DC decide it’s okay to clear the ROE so the A10 gunners can save their… Read more »
HEY!!!! The modify
buttonword is back. Wow Hamous.org is now a world class blog even more so now more than it was before…… now. 😉These fanatics blow each other’s mosques up all the time and they worship the same child molester. Give me a freakin’ break. The koran isn’t sacred to them. The fact that some other fanatic a half a world away burns some paper is merely a convenient excuse to do what they do.
Watching a story about Jones and what happened in Afghanistan. Seems to me Jones proved his point. Ain’t it odd “they” killed people and all he did was burn a book and he is the bad guy. Yup that is right he made them do it. Is not Kharzi not culpable? He is the one that just had to condemn… Read more »
While it’s on my mind Sarge, which do you think is the more likely scenario: 1. A whole bunch of nice muslims guys are sitting around one afternoon after a day hard at work in the poppy fields talking about world events when one guy mentions that some stupid turd in the US burned a Koran. All of the sudden… Read more »
Thanks, Fat Albert, for reminding me of that nauseating little comment. RE: Sarge #142 How about “Don’t burn a book after the General Commanding the troops and the Secretary of Defense asks you not to because it will harm thier troops.” What world do you actually live in, Sarge ? Are you completely f***ing crazy ? Do you sit around… Read more »
3142 Sarge: Don’t burn a book after the General Commanding the troops and the Secretary of Defense asks you not to because it will harm thier troops. Dude, you need to seriously wake up and smell reality. Burning a book DID NOT cause troops to die. They were 10,000 miles and 2 weeks away from that book. The cause of… Read more »

What is “feed”? something like “Purina Horse Chow”?
You gotta be careful what you feed them. What they eat can affect the flavor their lard imparts upon the pommes frites. Want me to shut your pie-hole, Mr. Man? /loads gun and sharpens filet knives…. Ms. Harper: Feed, hay and treats. Nobody rides for free is how my horses roll….. They also think that carrots are over-rated. They prefer… Read more »
So much for: The land of the free and the home of the brave. Crap like this is NOT what I fought for during my time in service. The actions of those two Generals for whatever reasoning displayed cowardice in the face of the enemy. There actions was nothing more than a display of political correctness run to its logical… Read more »
This is the United States of America and I do not recall, in our modern history, any military officer presuming to boss around civilians stateside as to what was acceptable behavior. I cannot imagine my grandfather cowering from some general in Europe during WWII tellling him what he could say or not say regarding any member of the Axis alliance.… Read more »
How the MSNBC spitter and the rest of the Joe Goebbels media journ-O-lists reported on Obumma this past month(3 years).
Regarding the “mooooslim thing”: I strongly suggest that everyone read DEVIL’S GUARD by George Robert Elford. The mooooslims in the middle east seem to be behaving very much like the viet minh of indochina during the late 1940’s thru 50’s. This is the autobiography of a member of the SS Nazi Brigade of the French Foreign Legion. It is a… Read more »

Do you feed your horses pie? 🙂
But seriously, what do your horses eat? Is hay the only thing that horses like? Along with an occasional apple or carrot, or so I’ve heard?
We’ll even make them blow snot bubbles if that’ll help.
Now that really projects an aura of strength in a part of the world where people tend to back the strong horse.
Looky Mr. Muslim Man. We are afraid of you. We are sending two generals to a civilian puke bubble to talk him into not being a puke bubble. Please don’t hurt us. Your feelings are more important than our freedoms.
Besides the FACT their meeting with Jones was conjured up by someone other than them.
And we should NEVER deny a Commander in the field the right to do or say whatever he thinks is necessary to protect hios troops, up to and including a phone call. That’s entirely true. BUT, like it or not, Jones has First Amendment rights. If we start taking away those rights, we quickly turn into Syria, which is the… Read more »
And we should NEVER deny a Commander in the field the right to do or say whatever he thinks is necessary to protect hios troops, up to and including a phone call.

Not so much. 🙂 Ptui.

All we’ve done is kicked a hornet’s nest. We don’t even know who we’re supporting.

I am not trivializing nuttin Serge’. I am dead serious. Those Generals should NEVER have approached Jones period end of story. They approached a civilian, whose actions while not wise is certainly lawful, in an official manner. That sir is bordering on official oppression. They called and explained to him what would happen if he did what he planned to… Read more »
And we do not belong in Libya. All this gum flapping is causing too much of a breeze for my comfort.
sarge – How about we see who gets all bent out of shape when we tell them to pound sand and figure out who is truly inciting them and funding that effort and turn them into pink mist? A couple of years ago, some cartoonists drew some cartoons of the pederast “prophet” and you’d have thought the cartoonists were actually… Read more »
In the meantime, Mario Loyola, a visiting fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies explains the coming insurgency in Libya I mentioned a couple of days ago: The beginnings of Libya’s slide into a chaotic insurgency are plain to see in the tactics Qaddafi’s forces have adopted: They now dress like the rebels and drive around in “technicals”… Read more »

at what point are we absolved of the guilt Yanno this is what just chills my ……. I am sick and tired of the guilt trips when I have done nothing. I am tired of watching our freedoms just to be taken away out of fear of offending someone. i refuse to take some half baked pledge telling some group… Read more »
Waht was the purpose of Gates and Petreaus’ stunt?
Was it just for shizzle and giggles, or are they just foolish?
I….neeed…oxygen……stat! I have missed y’all soo much. I’d decided I wasn’t doing piddely…piddle….squat this evening. Exceptin’ to shove flakes of hay at Rocket’s incessive whinnie as Ramses when off for a ride. The hay never shut up his pie hole until his “companion” got back. Think he’s gay? 🙂
Can anyone here show me where I have advocated anything like that?
How about “Don’t burn a book after the General Commanding the troops and the Secretary of Defense asks you not to because it will harm thier troops.”
Which is what I’m actually saying.
And now who’s trivialising things?
Oh man do not even say we do not want Sharia in the States WB. That will urinate them off big time. Who knows what they might do then. They blow up Serge’s falafel stand.
So sarge – where do you draw the line? Perhaps burning a koran after yapping about it for a couple of weeks is a skosh over the line. Surely we can say “We don’t want sharia here” in a protest? The line must be in there somewhere, but where? At what point are the medieval savage goat molesters responsible for… Read more »
SEE SEE Wagonburner has already been indoctrinated.
Actually, it’s “Peace Be Upon Him” (PBUH) or alternately (Ptui).
Petreaus and Gates had no reason to call Jones and it was an ill conceived S T U N T.
Dear citizens of Amerika. This is Commander Flagg. We need you to take your hat off when you say the word Muslim. From here in in when you say Mohammed you need to add the phrase Allah Bless him. This will show the radical Muslims that we mean them no harm. Ladies when you next go to Walmart consider getting… Read more »
Just ask yourself this question, and answer it honestly:
Would you have done the same thing that Terry Jones did after Petreaus and Gates called you and asked you not to because it would endanger American Soldiers?
I’m pretty sure everybody will come up with the same answer i have, and for the same reason.
I am more than aware of what is required of our men in Afghanistan Serge’ I am really having troubles getting my arms around the idea that Afghan Annie and Fred are sitting there watching the 5 o’clock news trying to find something to get outraged over. Which more than emphasizes the point that we don’t need to give them… Read more »
Oh goodie!! So now Serge’ condones military rule in our country.

I’ve been pining for you, tootie-poo.

Since Serge’ is so afraid of the Muslims just to prove a point if I could get TV airtime i would burn a box of Korans and cook hotdogs over the fire. I refuse to worry about offending anyone.
And this is pure bovine processed hay. Soldiers are going to die because we are in a war. Terry Jones is an idiot but what he did has no more bearing on the amount of hate generated than you and I freely passing gas in our beds. Those people hate us. Jones is nothing more than a reason for them… Read more »
