WyBlog

FMJRA Thursday, the "so close, yet so far away" edition

Yes kids, it's time for the 2010 inaugural edition of the WyBlog Full Metal Jacket Reach-Around blog-whoring extravaganza. And who better to kick things off than the Big Kahuna himself, Robert Stacy McCain, promulgator of The Rules and collector of One Million Hits on His Blog in Under a Year. (Yeah I know, I dissed him a little last week, but that was just a minor misunderstanding and everything is squared away now.)

He's on a mission to see tonight's BCS Championship Game in Pasadena, but his request for official press credentials was denied. The collegiate football oligarchs conspired to keep him out on the street. When will blogs and new media get the same respect as the guys who recycle dead trees and bloviate on cable stations nobody watches? Sportswriters are an insular lot, and they don't take kindly to upstart young whippersnappers, even if said whippersnapper isn't so young anymore and used to work for the dead tree guys.

But all is not lost, as he's been hanging out with Donald Douglas and partying with some Crimson Tide cheerleaders.

I'd almost say that he should try to sneak in. If anyone who wants to can waltz into a White House State Dinner or jump the TSA security line at Newark Airport perhaps Rose Bowl security is equally lax. Then again, Rose Bowl security is private and motivated by the need to sell tickets. They're probably much more likely to be alert and on the lookout for gate crashers.

Meanwhile, lots of people besides Robert aren't at the game. And our Congress, thinking that everyone is paying attention to the game, is working feverishly to rush some really atrocious legislation into law before anyone notices. Not just ObamaCare either.

Edisto Joe uncovered a truly nefarious plot — automatic voter registration, all you need is a pulse. Congress is poised to redefine the criteria for registering to vote. Right now you have to do something, usually fill out a form, before you're registered. That won't do for Barry's vision of a Brave New World. No siree, so here's what he's gonna do. Did you register a car? Obtain a drivers license? Collect unemployment? Get a library card? Sign up for Social Security? Congratulations! You're now registered to vote.

I'm pretty sure this plan is unconstitutional, but since when has the Constitution stopped progressives on a mission? Gator Doug has more. And WhereIsTheCommonSense weighs in with Washington State's plan to let felons in prison vote.

Speaking of ObamaCare though, Pat Austin counts 14 lies Barry has told so far, including that whole "you can watch the entire process on C-SPAN" whopper that Baghdad Bob Gibbs insists Barry didn't say. Pundette agrees, broken promises and skullduggery are Barry's trademark.

Via Doug Ross you can check out the Obama Trifecta. It's a dubious, but well-deserved award.

Bob Belvedere is wondering if Al Gore is freezing his kischkas off yet. Well, according to TrogloPundit, Gore is encased in a block of ice.

Carolyn Tackett says it's so cold in Florida that iguanas are falling out of trees. And if you click through, you'll discover just how classy Al Gore's friends are. Monique Stuart asks what the rush is to enact Cap & Tax if most of the Northern Hemnisphere is frozen more solid than Nancy Pelosi's face.

Ruby Slippers reports that Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd (D-Countrywide) has read the tea leaves and decided to retire to his Irish Cottage. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Chris.
