The Axis of Idiots"
From the Podium:
J. D. Pendry, Retired Sergeant Major, USMC




FROM THE PODIUM

This retired USMC Sgt. Major has his Stuff together.

Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the "runner-in-chief."

Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers.. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.

John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam . Your military service, like your life, is more
fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, and the same words you used to describe Vietnam . You're a fake! You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese. Iraq , like Vietnam , is another war that you were for, before you were against it.

John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq . You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa . Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt, and washed up old fool. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's ass. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.

Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.

American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer..

You are America 's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam . If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.

Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within.

Semper Fi,
J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired

This is a savvy man. He has nailed it down pretty good. Too bad it won't do any good. There won't be 1 in 10 that receive it who will forward it.

Up yours, Congress!

Hey you rich bastard Congressmen, thanks for nothing. Nice job taking the $15K tax credit OUT of the stimulus bill. Way to 'spur' the housing marking and really give Americans what they want and what our economy needs.

You're all crooks, and Obama's cabinet is the lead-point for all of the crooks. Pay your fucking taxes like the rest of us, you bastards!

Could you imagine the the outrage if John McCain's cabinet members did what Obama's have done?

That's all.

OK, it's been awhile

Since my last post, Barack Obama has been inaugurated and we've seen Congress hem and haw over the stimulus bill. I don't see where giving money to smoking cessation programs will stimulate our economy. Please get over yourselves Congress, and do things with this package that will put our economy on solid ground. How 'bout some 4 percent mortgage rates if you want to see home sales again?

Also since my last post, I had minor knee surgery. I had floating debris inside my knee that was reconstructed in 1990. I've worn it out, I guess. I'd like to say that I've gotten my money's worth out of that surgery! Check out the staple that's still there! I just had the surgery 3 days ago, and I'm already getting around pretty good on it.

Spending the day at Verizon Center

I'm headed downtown in a few hours to officiate in Steve Hyjek's annual post-Christmas game at Verizon Center. I think this is the third year in a row that I've done it.

Two midget-aged teams face off against each other. I get paid and get free tickets to the Capitals game at night. What a deal! Thanks Steve!

This year is more special for two reasons. It's my last year in town, and the Sabres are playing the Capitals tonight. Let's Go Buff-A-Lo!

Marley and Me

Gayle and I went to see Marley and Me on Christmas evening. Great movie. Jennifer Aniston is still hot at 40!

Anyway, if you love dogs, you have to see this movie.

If you're not crying near the ending, you're not a true dog lover.

Gayle and I both cried a bit when we put ourselves into Grogan's shoes. Trudy is getting on a bit, and we're not too sure how much more time she has. Couple of years at best. More, I hope, but we don't want her to suffer. She's got arthritis in her spine. Poor little girl.

SOLD!

Well, Gayle and I got incredibly lucky when my officiating friend Rich agreed to buy our house. Yes, we lost money on the deal, but selling it allows us to move forward and get the hell out of DC!

It's official now, as we had the closing yesterday. The lawyer who runs the closing office is actually a fellow Buffalonian from Orchard Park.

THANKS RICH! Best wishes to you and your lady once you finally move in!

Here's video of the Zamboni delivery at Wrigley Field for this year's Winter Classic. Nice job, fuggtards!

Lost weekend in Pittsburgh

Well I went to Pittsburgh, and we stayed in the Shadyside district, about half-way between the rink and downtown at a Courtyard by Marriott. The hotel was decent for the 50 bucks we got it for on Priceline. I'd hate to pay more than that, though. Couldn't get the Internet working in the room.

What a retarded place to buy beer! We stopped at a convenience store, and the foreigner behind the counter was less than helpful when we asked where we could buy beer.

I finally asked a white guy going into the store, and he said in PA, you have to buy six packs at bars or at certain stores. He directed me to one that was on the way to the hotel. Terry paid eleven dollars for a six pack of Labatts. Are you kidding me? What a ripoff! Pittsburgh sucks.

Anyway, Ryan, trying to impress his uncle, tried a little too hard in WARMUPS for God's sake, and hurt his knee. He banged it into the goal post after he caught an edge and did a flip backwards. Jeezus!

The first game was against 94's, which are a year older and a lot bigger than Ryan's team. Final was 6-3, which is respectable. Ryan played, but we could tell he was laboring. After his fall in warmups, I thought he'd hurt his butt or tailbone.

After the game, we checked into the hotel, then went to Dick's to get him a neoprene knee wrap. Dave at the store gave us some good directions to get back to the rink, because with the stupid traffic trying to get to Dick's, time was short. Thanks Dave.

The second game was against the Pittsburgh Jr. Pens 95's. Very good team, with a lethal power play. Noah Gatis has professional player written all over him. Outstanding player. I don't remember much about the game, except that Ryan was benched for most of the third period. I did color commentary for Steve Rosenthal's HD video for all three games. I'm excited to hear my commentary. I tried to be serious, but also had some funny stuff, too. The Regals lost this game, and Ryan looked a little better until a big hit early in the third period. We didn't see him much after that. I think the final was 5-4 Pittsburgh.

Saturday night, we didn't do much. Stayed in the room, watched TV, and fell asleep around 11 PM. Ryan didn't take a shower. What a dirtbag!

Woke up at 7 AM on Sunday, went to the rink, and Ryan played much better. I don't think his little knee bruise was bothering him at all. Like Herb Brooks said, a bruised knee is a long way from the heart! The game ended in a tie with nice goals from both sides.

I left after the game so I could play in my game. We tied the Laughing Skulls 5-5. Young punks. I didn't get any penalties, though!

I would like to comment on the Pittsburgh officiating. In a word, brutal. How the Western Pennsylvania Hockey Officials Association can assign referees that continually get faceoff locations incorrect is beyond me. Faceoff location is elementary for a referee. It's the most basic thing. Also, their blue line positioning is less than stellar. C'mon guys, at least you can hustle! I also saw many no calls of obvious checks from behind after the whistle (all by Pittsburgh no less) go uncalled. It seems coach Larry Gaus of the Junior Pens has the officials intimidated. Triple-A hockey deserves Triple-A refs. There's room for improvement here, guys.

Luckily, I avoided the Sabres @ Devils score for over 24 hours, and watched the Sabres excellent 4-2 victory last night in beautiful HD! Wish I could have avoided the Bills game permanently. WTF are you doing passing on 2nd and 5 when you're trying to run the clock out, Jauron? You are a frigging idiot. Please, just go away, DICK.
