Quote of the day
posted at 10:20 pm on October 21, 2008 by Allahpundit
“If it wasn’t for Sarah Palin, I’d move to f***in’ Sweden…
John McCain, God bless you for discovering a Republican with massive amounts of balls. The good governor, Sarah Palin, is the bureaucrat-crushing, status quo-punching conservative that I’ve been looking for. I knew of her before John did, I had worked with Gov. Palin on numerous issues up in Alaska, where she proved she was a ‘we the people’ person and not a bureaucrat monger. We are voting Republican this year, not because of John McCain as much as for Sarah Palin.”

I emailed AP and asked him to break out the ban hammer. – RMCS_USN on October 21, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Sport, let me warn you: if you get Manly banned, you’d better be ready to put on his cheerleader skirt and pom-poms. He keeps a whole lot of Republicans from jumping off of a cliff en mass. Unless you can work that outfit, leave MR alone!

I’ll vouch for Cornelius. Any man who can eat a pop tart with American cheese has to be a closet neo-con.

You go, sister girl!
Terrie on October 21, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Now, now – everyone make up. Group hug. Okay. Group hug is over. Back to being mean sons of b*ches at eachother. Just do so with a smile. On second thought just be mean sons of b*ches to the democrats. It’s more fun that way.

Oh come on now. You can’t be serious. Grow a pair and join in.

I think Ted Nugent would make an excellent Sec. of the Interior………
Seven Percent Solution on October 21, 2008 at 11:47 PM
I assume it’s because as much as people loved Sarah, it wasn’t enough to overcome their distaste of McCain. Ergo, it’s her fault; not McCain’s.
Am I right, Jetboy?
FloatingRock on October 21, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Thanks, Limerick. :)

Not so much a threat as an unkept promise.
Cindy Munford on October 21, 2008 at 11:49 PM
Nugent talking about moving to Sweden is obviously, clearly, unmistakably, not serious. If it was [insert rich celebutard who owes his money to America's obscene wealth here] talking about moving to France, or Canada, it might be.
Get a grip, people.
misterpeasea on October 21, 2008 at 11:51 PM
Oi Sailor Boy, leave Manly alone. Girls like you could win a hairy armpit contest but only if spray-on stubble was on sale.
Fortunata on October 21, 2008 at 11:52 PM
I’m sure your conclusion is right; don’t know about your reasoning.
Jet?
misterpeasea on October 21, 2008 at 11:53 PM
Pop Tarts & Cheese may be good (not a pop tart fan), but you haven’t lived till you tried poached eggs of French toast. Or is that “freedom toast” still?
artlover on October 21, 2008 at 11:53 PM
Oh no you didn’t……………
Seven Percent Solution on October 21, 2008 at 11:55 PM
Aren’t those “Cowboy eggs”? Or am I thinking of something else? Sounds familiar.
sulla on October 21, 2008 at 11:55 PM
The Boss stated in interviews for a long time that he claimed to be homosexual (wore it like a badge of honor) and then the story changed that his leg was hurt in a MC Accident. I remember his quotes in Rolling Stone before I remember the accident.
Sulla!!!
What wrong with teh squeaky wheel?
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 11:55 PM
Love me some Ted. That is all.
capitalist piglet on October 21, 2008 at 11:57 PM

sulla on October 21, 2008 at 11:42 PM
Don’t worry it’s fine. Easy to be misunderstood in text. Manly is an excellent gentleman despite his bowdy tone. I don’t know his beef with Nugent but I will fight him over Metallica.
Cindy Munford on October 21, 2008 at 11:58 PM
Yeah, slow to the point I never see the whole page load.
How have you been? What do you think of this election so far?
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 11:59 PM
Hey RMCS_USN: I figure you are a Navy man. If so…then suck on this: USS Constitution was the greatest warship to ever fight on behalf of this great republic, second only to Might Mo, USS New Jersey and USS Olympia. Our navy is second to none in the history of the world and you are part of that magnificent tradition.
God bless you sir and I beg pardon if I’ve caused you offense.
You served our nation. I’m a snarky asshole.
No contest.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 11:59 PM
Heh; ain’t that the truth! First time it’s EVER happened to me, though… [/tongueincheek]
Thanks.
sulla on October 22, 2008 at 12:01 AM
hmm didn’t know that. I was overseas from 75-93 with only a couple of years in the states. Missed out on a lot of the gossip and celebrity news.
On one of his compilation sets he told some story about going to the recruiter and being turned away for medical reasons and his Dad was relieved.
Bradky on October 22, 2008 at 12:01 AM
I’m not sure if it has a name. I just decided to experiment with breakfast foods one day & developed ambrosia.
artlover on October 22, 2008 at 12:02 AM
first concert i ever went to..nuge at the
cape cod coliseum 1980..i feel old!..
but like usual i agree with everything he said!
Bluestate_Blues on October 22, 2008 at 12:02 AM
Don’t be so hard on yourself my friend. ; p
carbon_footprint on October 22, 2008 at 12:02 AM
Art, thank you for cleansing my palate after that whole Pop Tart quesadilla fiasco. Next time, Sulla, please give us a friendly warning.
My favorite egg-and-bread combo is butter-fried egg in a bread window, over easy for yummy dipping.
To make me feel better after a rough day, my DH made a dozen popovers with melted butter tonight.
Terrie on October 22, 2008 at 12:03 AM
Fuck you too, Carbon….:-)
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:04 AM
; )
carbon_footprint on October 22, 2008 at 12:04 AM
I think it is safe to say that if we start worrying about why we get mad at celebrities we will end up spending our every waking moment on HotAir. Oh wait…..
Cindy Munford on October 22, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Hmmm. Strange about teh Wheel. It’s pretty peppy for me. I have seen that slowdown in the past though; perhaps it’s routing weird. Try Ctrl+F5 to reload the page completely; if that doesn’t work, let me know.
The election – I’m less suicidal (figuratively) now that the race is tightening, and Jim Geraghty’s “Obi Wan” has given me some optimism.
But I won’t lie; I’ll stay at least a little white-knuckled until November 5. My wife helpfully bought me a leather strap to bite down on.
sulla on October 22, 2008 at 12:05 AM
I see the ‘clinging to life’ AP is running a batch of stories which includes Palin supposedly doing something with travel of her kids on work trips. Who are they messing with? Go away AP.
johnnyU on October 22, 2008 at 12:06 AM
If I spent any time considering how awful I must seem to you, Miss Cindy, I would never post a comment here. I do apologize for my profanity. You deserve better…
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:07 AM
In my opinion, there’s no better food than the egg. I’ll eat it almost any way, except Benedict.
.
BTW, “butter-fried egg”? Is that what it sounds like? Forgive me, my man does the cookin’.
artlover on October 22, 2008 at 12:08 AM
If Uncle Ted calls me a manatee the next time he sees me, I’m putting the blame squarely on your maple-flecked shoulders. :)
I’m sulking.
My wife is laughing her butt off. She feels the same way.
sulla on October 22, 2008 at 12:08 AM
That was the greatest “Quote of the Day” link on HA ever.
Vigilante on October 22, 2008 at 12:08 AM
I realize that you perceive me as deranged. Nevertheless, be assured…McCain will win on Nov 4. I’ll stake my life on it.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:09 AM
Ever have iggi in a basket?
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:11 AM
I live for such HA moments. Love you all, especially all the Soldiers, past and present, and those who honor them.
Manly, it takes being a man, and a gentleman, to write what you did at 11:59 PM. Well done,
Entelechy on October 22, 2008 at 12:11 AM
No. Do tell.
artlover on October 22, 2008 at 12:12 AM
Thanks.
If I gave that impression, my apologies.
sulla on October 22, 2008 at 12:12 AM
I don’t know who here was and wasn’t around back when Elvis was skinny and Democrats were hawks but it is over folks. I’ll be the first on the posse after Fonda and Ayers but you won’t find me going after some fella who decided to stay home. I got on with my life, and they theirs. We all live with our choices and that’s good enough for me.
And to rub salt on Manly’s rash….sorry friend. There were many great ships and many great sailors. You left out ‘Miss E’ (now you know why I call Miss E that). But the greatest story seldom told is the USS Houston and HMAS Perth. They too had a choice. No better men, and no better ships ever sailed the waves.
Limerick on October 22, 2008 at 12:12 AM
It was a different time. I just get confused about who was and wasn’t a good American back then.
Dan Quayle wasn’t a good American because he was only in the Guard. George Bush wasn’t a good American because he was only in the Texas Air Guard. George Bush Senior wasn’t a good pilot because he got shot down, even though he was at the time the youngest Navy fighter pilot in WWII. Biden never served and was never asked once about it. Kerry’s record could be admirable but he was almost an anarchist in his rhetoric and associations after the war. Said he threw his medals away but still has them? What entertainers did serve. What athletes besides Staubauch and Bliers? I don’t know why any of it matters now. Just that too many people did serve who get no gratitude and that’s the real point.
hawkdriver on October 22, 2008 at 12:12 AM
I only regret that he did not see my apology.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Must go; wife has arrived to take me home.
sulla on October 22, 2008 at 12:13 AM
OK everyone… breakfast is only six hours away & I’ve got a full fridge.
artlover on October 22, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Good my friend. How about another East Coast Gerbil get together?
hawkdriver on October 22, 2008 at 12:15 AM
There are many, Limey. Too many to call to mind. I’m sorry I cannot thank all of them. Helluva way to go to sleep…feeling so small.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Good nite, Sulla. Apologies.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:16 AM
Dude!
SouthernGent on October 22, 2008 at 12:16 AM
While I disagreed with your admonition to Ted, I have to say that was pretty manly of you, MR. I would have thought a Navy man could handle a little salty language. My dad was a sailor. So is my best friend, and I’d stick a thermometer in his mouth if he didn’t swear. : )
And sailor, to you, thank you for your service. The USN is my favorite branch, with the Marine Corps (yeah, I know…it’s all Navy!) coming in a close second.
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 12:18 AM
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Don’t worry about me, I am a big girl. I have been known to tell a few people to go forth and multiply. Your fine.
Cindy Munford on October 22, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Egg in a window is a simple but delicious recipe. Cut a large circle in the middle of a bread slice. Saute the bread with the circle filled on both sides — preferably in butter — until golden brown. Remove the bread circle and crack an egg into the hole. Saute on both sides until the white of the egg is just cooked through, leaving the yolk runny enough for bread dipping.
I’m one of them live-to-eaters and food is a consuming hobby for me, pun intended. My DH started cooking less than two years ago, but he is a natural.
Terrie on October 22, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Delightful link. I absolutely love the poetry that is Ted Nugent.
Damn, I can’t wait to move to Texas.
Keep raising Hell Ted!!!
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 22, 2008 at 12:20 AM
I’m voting for Sarah Palin too.
hadsil on October 22, 2008 at 12:21 AM
Heh. First time I’ve ever heard it put quite that way. I’m gonna have to steal it, Cindy…for real life, though. I’m not going to go all Joe Biden on you around here, and take your material. ; )
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 12:21 AM
Using a wineglass, cut out a hole in the center of a thick slice of bread (at least 1/2″) and put aside the cut-out piece. Butter each side of the piece of bread. Heat a skillet. When hot enough, drop the bread in the center of the skillet and then drop a pat of butter in the hole. Then crack an egg and drop it in the hole. After 2 minutes, carefully flip the assembly over and cook for two more minutes. Transfer to a plate and enjoy. Iggi in a basket.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:21 AM
artlover on October 22, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Hey, that’s another lie the media tried to pull on us. Do you remember when eating eggs where almost as bad as smoking. I’m telling you folks, this financial stuff has probably bothered me less because I don’t believe a darn thing they say. Nothing. If they had had a hurricane to stand in they wouldn’t even have noticed the Dow.
Cindy Munford on October 22, 2008 at 12:21 AM
That is very true. I’m not making sweeping judgments on whether someone was a “good American”. My focus is pretty narrow; draft dodgers, runaways to Candada & Fonda. When it counted they were cowards and fell short. I’m not on a crusade about it but do feel strongly.
We had a neighbor two doors down – she married an Army guy before he shipped out as a helo pilot. Less than six months later he was dead. My Mom volunteered at a church thrift shop. Clothes were donated regularly – sometimes army uniforms. She came home one day with a handful of purple hearts that had been discarded hoping she could match them back up with the owners. She was very upset that the vets would toss them like that.
Bradky on October 22, 2008 at 12:22 AM
What a pleasent f*ing read. I’ve always loved the Motor City Madman.
There’s gotta be a cabinet position for him…. DOI!
Kini on October 22, 2008 at 12:22 AM
He/she will see it. Duties might have called. Psychologically, people don’t post something like that, without following up. Check back later, even tomorrow, and hopefully you’ll be acknowledged. If not, know that we know. And, never, ever, feel small. You’re adored around here, not by all, but by so many. Even if you don’t appear to depend on this, it’s nice to have the company. Smile and have a sip, in appreciation; then dream of victories,
Entelechy on October 22, 2008 at 12:23 AM

Shame is what separates us Hot Airheads from the Kos Kids. We all need forgiveness.
Mr. Rash, you are among friends and tomorrow is a new day.
Terrie on October 22, 2008 at 12:25 AM
Correction, sir: I have never served in the United States Navy. Just as well, as our armed forces need men…not d!ckheads. But your sentiment is appreciated.
God bless our men in uniform!
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:26 AM
You are such a good guy, Lim. I’m so honored to e-know you,
Entelechy on October 22, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Nah, the way TN talks, I say SCOTUS! He sure would spice up some of the dry decisions – whoa to you if he descents!
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 22, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Ms….Terrie, your compassion for me is a mys….tery. :-)
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Nicely put. If it weren’t for Mr. Rash’s optimism, I’d be crying in my hot chocolate.

I can!

USS Lexington, USS YOrk, USS Yorktown….it goes on…and on…perhaps I should have stopped with USS Constitution.
Old Ironsides..no one can dispute HER legacy.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Feel free, it’s not original. Long time ago when I was very young a friend had a tee shirt with the real f bomb in a psychedelic print. His mom figured out what is said and was yelling at him. When I asked what she was so mad about that’s how he told what his shirt said. Sorry long boring story but feel free to use it.
Cindy Munford on October 22, 2008 at 12:30 AM
You know, every Nuge concert I’ve been to almost breaks into a riot.
I’m just now reading the other comments and it looks true to words.
Someone’s having a hockey game here.

Great site you have there too Kama’aina. Spent my first years away from home at BPNAS on OAHU

Er, “me” too. lol too late to post anymore.
hawkdriver on October 22, 2008 at 12:32 AM
Mr. Rash, did you notice that we both just offered the same basic recipe but with different names?
Terrie on October 22, 2008 at 12:33 AM
Never forget the Indy! Sad
hawkdriver on October 22, 2008 at 12:34 AM
I know we aren’t here to discuss ships but….
My late dad was on the Might Mo when she was recommissioned and met Reagan. It was, I think, his proudest moment in life. Dad had been part of the reconstruction team and thought more of Mo and her accomplishments than he did of ours, his kids. It was an honor to have been so close to such a great symbol of liberty.
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 22, 2008 at 12:34 AM
Yup. Either it means we need to hook up and have hot, monkey sex OR a well known recipe has made its way into many cultures around the world.
I’ll spare you the gagging…it’s the latter.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:35 AM
Mahalo Nui Loa!
When and how long was your tour at Barbers Point Naval Air Station?

I like the idea of the hook up. Maybe I’ll wake my husband up and sneak off to bed.

OMG. Father Martin. Back in the 80′s I knew a priest…Fr. Martin. He was on the Indy. He survived, and attributed his survival to God and became a priest afterward. He told me the story. I nearly shit myself.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:38 AM
Good night everyone, I am going to be so mad to me at 5:15 a.m.
Cindy Munford on October 22, 2008 at 12:38 AM
Last word for me for tonight….for you Navy buffs. The battlewagons and fleet carriers get all the press. For a treat go find the story of a Pig Boat, the S-44. The navy didn’t give her a name but that didn’t stop her from getting a reputation.
Limerick on October 22, 2008 at 12:38 AM
From 1977 until 1981 and then I went to Bragg. At teh time I was a CH47 Crew Chief and they didn’t have room for them at Wheeler. Great duty.

ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:40 AM
My first recollection of the F word was as a 6-year-old. Egged on by my friends, I wrote it in chalk on a neighbor’s fence, but I had no concept what it meant. I must have been learning about the words talk and walk at the time because I spelled it with an “l” instead of a “c” — and got in big trouble with my parents.
Terrie on October 22, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Good nite, Miss Cindy. Sweet dreams.
ManlyRash on October 22, 2008 at 12:41 AM
I’m not a big fan of pretty much any aspect of Nuget’s career, but that headline and the picture below it made me laugh out loud. Good for you, Ted.
Jim Treacher on October 22, 2008 at 12:41 AM
I knew a seaman from the Indy about a mile from my home who died about three years ago now. Sad story. Even the story of the Captain.
