Good afternoon, my fellow legitimate Americans. Your friendly neighborhood Spider Dan reporting from the scorched Texas Hill Country. We need rain and need it today. Maybe the buffoons in Hopey-Dopey's camp will conjure up a magical spell and we'll get the jet stream to allow Gulf moisture to hose down our well baked countryside. Other than that, being here is pure delight.Let's begin with this

As a cyber-Congressman from the State of Nevada I would like to propose some new energy initiative, designed to help the overwhelming majority of Americans who own cars powered by gasoline-combustion engines. Under my proposal, the government would make available funds to purchase fuel for needy/desirous Americans. Lesseee...let's do some math. About $2.75 a gallon for regular nowadays. Let's

It is all the rage today….health care reform. The President is spending large sums of political capital in an effort to achieve reform on the premise of “Americans want it” and on the promise that it will be “budget neutral”. Both premise and promise are false. Americans overwhelmingly do not want health care reform and why should they? American health care is the best in the world. A Gallup poll

To even the most casual observer a lot of what ails America was on full display today. As if the interminable coverage of Michael Jackson’s memorial service wasn’t enough, legitimate Americans had to endure the intelligence insulting spectacle of Al Franken being sworn into the United States Senate. The admittance of Al Franken into the senior legislative branch of government is an automatic

Good afternoon, fellow legitimate Americans. Your friendly neighborhood Spider Dan reporting.With all we have to concern ourselves -- thanks to the incredible incompetence displayed by the regime of Hopey-Dopey, Reid, Pelosi, et. al. -- it's difficult to single out an issue that legitimate Americans should address realistically, effectively, and immediately.

I've been following politics more or less since the Carter Administration. Roughly the same time I learned the value of a dollar, which put me way ahead of the former president in terms of economic understanding. Now I had occasion over the weekend to explain to my son that it is nearly a universal given that all politicians lie, but the ability of lib'ruls to twist words and spin news never

Gangsters understand and respect one thing whether on the street or in prison. Force. To the average American gangsters are intimidating only because they understand the use of force and indulge in the practice of wanton and violent application of it to effect their designs. I bring this up because for someone supposedly steeped in the tradition of Chicago gang history and dynamics, President

When the school district in your hometown makes the national news, it's usually for a bad reason. Today my hometown school district proved that rule.

First, hearty apologies all around for not being more active in these parts. Let's just say I've been very busy trying to avoid being completely wiped out by the insanity surrounding the foibles of Hopey-Dopey and his crew in Washington, D.C. When we predicted the demise of all things American after this band of morons took the reins, we did so expecting things not to be quite so bad so

The legal definition of an expert is someone who knows more about a given topic than the average layperson on the street. With that in mind, I often bloviate on topics upon which I am admittedly not an expert. However that doesn't disqualify me from making common sense observations about such things as energy and education policy. Common sense being somewhat alien to the American Lib'rul. However

Why is it that the appearance of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me? Sure there are the whispered rumors about her (ahem) lifestyle...(not that there's anything wrong with that)...rumors that in the good ol' days would have prevented anyone from obtaining a Top Secret clearance, much less running a highly sensitive cabinet level department

OMG....Where do I start? How about here. JB Williams does legitimate Americans a service by pointing out that socialists have taken over the government. This is no idle far-right conspiracy theory from the tinfoil hat crowd.

Generally speaking I like to leave discussions about American energy policy to our faithful Tejano correspondent. After all, he grew up in the shadows of the largest petrochemical complex in the United States and his family counts energy company employees among its host of legitimate American members.

Considering the dire situation confronting the national economy, I had hoped to keep our postings around these parts focused on domestic issues. Of course when you put teenagers in charge of foreign policy you can’t help but keep one eye on it as the policy evolves, and it’s a good thing too since it appears as though the O’bamunist seems intent on insulting our friends, antagonizing some enemies

The only difference between General Motors and the Imperial Federal Gubmint is that the gubmint has the ability to print money. Both are failing entities, producing little of value to the average American. GM puts out vehicles that are perceived to be lesser quality than their industrial counterparts, engages in poor business practices that have bankrupted the company and contributed to the

We are almost a month into Hopey-Dopey's administration. If Legitimate Americans decide to end this carnival of fraud, pandering, and drive to socialism tomorrow, it will not be too soon. But, it is painfully clear the United States has been so spoiled, so coddled, and so accustomed to the comic relief provided by the "dissenting" class, it allowed this group of utter imbeciles to assume high

To borrow from columnist Herb Denenberg, I now know why lib'ruls are so fond of tax increases...because they don't actually pay any taxes. At least not those that Hopey Dopey selects for prominent positions in his administration. On the other hand, given the ham fisted, fast and loose, cavalier manner in which your average democrat handles the taxpayer dollar, I think that we can safely state

Now that Hopey-Dopey and his crew are in place, it's time to begin the unrepentant and unrelenting bashing of his administration. The liberals and left wing loons out there are howling -- their only claim to fame -- about "giving him a chance". I'm going to give him less a chance than the sewer rats on the left gave George W. Bush.There is a groundswell among the idiotic left -- trumpeted by

Jesse Jackson sure got a raw deal. I mean here we are, much of the nation celebrating Martin Luther King Day, preparing for tomorrow's historic inauguration of America's first Black, Socialist, potentially illegal alien President. Instead of being able to celebrate the advancement of civil rights represented by the occasion, we have been reminded of what a tawdry underbelly the civil rights

Here's hoping all legitimate Americans had a very Merry Christmas and will have a safe and Happy New Year. Of course, we are faced with a political crisis and four years of ideology driven, mindless folly thanks to the practical joke played by a few million idiotic Americans (those voting for Hopey-Dopey). For the life of every legitimate American, the media's fascination with this

The Christmas season is upon us. 2008 is nearly done. Who would have believed -- a scant six months ago -- the greatest nation in history is about to suffer through its greatest national humilation over the next few months. In case you are a blithering idiot (that would be those voting for or salivating over this pandering socialist and racist known as the "president-elect"), just sit back and

First, allow me to thank Brother Paul for holding down the fort while your intrepid Texican attended to a host of pressing matters. It may come as a surprise none of those aforementioned matters involved planning either revolution or seceding from the Union, but I may consider both in the days, weeks, and months to come.

Lib'rul big gubmint loves me. I pay all of my taxes and fees on time and as a general rule I am not given to using the many gubmint services offered as a result of my dutiful tax payments. This past week was different however. I found that my tax dollar is well used to support any number of heretofore belittled lib'rul feel good programs. I say this because after the BCS Rankings came out I found

Normally this being a football weekend and all, I'd be down at the Felony Flats Casino early this morning to place my wagers and enjoy a fine seegar but Thanksgiving is different. The day started just as early though. At 0630 hrs I was pulling the turkey out of the garage where I had it in a brining bucket. I rinsed it off and peppered it and put it in the oven at 325 degrees. Then it was out to

Hot damn, it must be November because the PMT Football betting record is getting tighter than ol' Dick's hatband. Now we here at the Pollack, Mexican and Texican Sportsbetting Service are still solvent mind you, posting a 52-45 record overall. Still, if we can't get this turned around we might start cutting into our profit margin. Of course if we go belly up, I'm certain that with the Texan's

Nope folks, that there is our accumulated record for the PMY Sportsbetting Service thus far in the 2008 College Football campaign.

America has decided to experiment with its future, once again. Yesterday, liberal interests were served with the election of a pandering socialist and racist to the office of President of the United States. We've had these bumps and rashes before -- we'll heal up and be fine in the long run. But, the short term damage often lingers well beyond a normal period of recuperation. Expect

When legitimate Americans talk football, most talk about the amateur game -- college and high school games are far more exciting than the professional model. While we've been largely successful predicting the outcomes of many games here at ye' old blog, playing the role of Vegas oddsmaker has been a bit more challenging.

Ahead and back on track last week our overall record is now 41-31 so the money flow is positive. Unlike money policy in a democrat congress.

Now that was a clinic. The first half of the Texas-Mizzou game last week ought to be required viewing for any aspiring quarterback. What a game but it doesn't get any easier for the 'Horns as they work towards a Big 12 title.

Hijo le mano! I just got back from Stalingrad folks. At least thats what it feels like in the ol' B Bar V corral this evening. The wind was howling off Hungry Mountain and blowing snow in my face as I made the nightly manure run out to the edge of the property. Crossing that frozen dirt with 2 inches of snow on top with the wind blasting me in the face as I pushed the wheelbarrow along made me

Week 6 is here folks and we here at the PMT Sportsbetting Service are off to a roaring start. Sure there was a minor mistep with Utah parlayed to South Florida last night. Fortunately we'd already taken Boise St. to cover 25 on Wednesday night and we took Memphis to cover 3 last night against Alabama Birmingham. We also had some insurance on the Utah game taking the over so all in all we're

For those of you who tuned in last week for the PMT picks of the week I apologize for not having any posted. Sometimes even life its ownself can bump football aside and I've had to set games aside in order to deal with a couple of personal issues. I won't go into detail but understand if Smilin' Paul was called away from the computer, it was for a damn good reason. For those of you keeping score

Two things before we get into the topic de' jour: 1) take time to offer any prayers or assistance for those impacted by the devastation caused by Hurricane Ike, and 2) never lose faith in legitimate Americans.Seems our football picks are holding up -- even though some of those "instincts" are betrayed by poor preparation by teams believing they can just throw their headgear out there and come

Ouch. Well you can't win them all and if you happened to be the Mexican and betting on the PAC-10 last week, you couldn't win but one. I got steamrolled with losers from Cal, Oregon and Arizona State. Auburn hurt me large. The Pollack had another fine week, adding enough money to his coffers that he has been contemplating a campaign contribution to yours truly for my anticipated run against Harry

Blame it on Gustav. Or as lib’ruls do, blame it on President Bush. The cutting edge technology, satellite feed, digital uplink between the Nevada and Texas offices of the Pollack, Mexican and Texican Sports Betting Service failed us last week. Okay, mostly it wasn’t a technology failure. After all we happen to have at least a couple graduates of Texas Tech who read this blog and they would blow

It's good to see our illustrious betting service -- anchored by Brother Paul -- is off to another roaring start. Football is a game I dearly love, although parts of my body wish I had played more golf during my academic years. That said, I can still get out there and toss a tight spiral thirty yards, then snatch the return throw with the same two handed security I perfected in my youth. Living

Just...wow...Since the pundits on the left are already calling John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin to be his running mate a "Hail Mary" pass, let's talk some football. The Pollack, Mexican and Texican Sports Betting Service served up 3 moneymaking selections to our faithful viewers this past week and hopefully you all paid heed to the advice. The result was a torrid 3-0 start. Sure, the

Well there sports fans and legitimate Americans, here it is, the 2008 Season Kick-Off of the Pollack, Mexican and Texan Football Picks of the Week. Since the NFL is still in preseason and many colleges don't start until next week there is a limited slate of college action to choose from. Now the Pollack will bet on preseason games but I just can't pull the trigger on a game where my money may be

Well it would appear that our Merry Texan has managed to wrestle his way free from the worldly pleasures of the fleshpots long enough to enlighten us as to the seditious activities of the American left and their enablers in the old media. Fortunately for those of you who are wise enough and legitimate enough to check in here for counterpoints to the unending socialism foisted off on the public in

As the world turns, liberals squirm, and the Democrats continue to elevate devoted liars to national prominence, I've jumped the gun here at the internet's most informative and insightful blog -- I actually have time to get another entry on the record ahead of Brother Paul, whom is presently consumed with ridding the fair city of Reno of what criminal element may lurk there.

Fear not, my fellow legitimate Americans. While I have been on something of a sabbatical (thanks in large part to vacation and the company of a delightful former bikini model), my examination of the current political situation has not taken a day off. In fact, yours truly has been carefully observing the charade most will commonly refer to as "the Democratic candidate's run for office". I've

The word on the street is that our merry Texan has been felled by a femme fatale. The usually voluble oracle of Texas conservatism hasn’t been heard from in some time. Back in the day when we were crawling through honky tonks the only thing that would keep Dan “the friendly neighborhood Spider” Stanfield out of the adoring public’s eye was usually some shapely adorable.

July 4, 2008. The 232nd Birthday of the United States of America, the greatest country God has ever placed upon the earth. In the history of mankind, there have been but five superpowers. The United States today bears that standard. Our people live in freedom and prosperity never before imagined.

It's taken me a couple of days but I wanted to reflect for a moment on the Father's Day just passed. This particular Father's Day was especially poignant. Only the day before, on Saturday I happened to be down at the feed store laying in some sweet feed for our old gelding. I watched as a couple of young boys, no more than 12 helped their father load the 50 lb sacks into the truck. Those stout

Sixty four years ago today, the world was immersed in a brutal struggle between the forces of good and evil. On June 6, 1944, American military forces, in concert with a host of allied nations, initiated a massive invasion of Europe to dispose of the forces of evil. Given the scope of the mission -- extraordinary in its complexity and danger -- American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines were

Hell it was even snowing on my last Thursday when I went out to feed the horses. Today when I went out to the tack shed, it was a balmy 45 degrees, on May 26th.

I love summer. Water, boats, motorcycles, warm air, nothing cold or cool but beer and Canyon Lake depths. Our delightful political season is beginning to thaw, as well. American politics is a fascinating thing if you are fascinated by pandering liars, socialist zealots, or well meaning, but poorly prepared, public servants. Since the left wing press loves pandering liars and socialist zealots in

It appears as though some sanity might have found its way into the Supreme Court these past few years. This week the Supremes ruled that an Indiana law requiring photo identification at the polling place before a voter is allowed to cast their ballot was constitutional. With the ignorance and illogic usually manifested by lib'ruls, the plaintiffs argued that the Indiana requirement posed an undue

It's almost summer here in the good ol' US of A, and not a moment too soon for many. Unfortunately, thanks to an incredibly feckless energy policy, a Democratic nomination process that is galactically absurd, and the continued travesty that is the global warming theory, legitimate Americans can expect to see many of the activities we've worked so hard to create marginalized.

Damn Texicans, just when you think they might be reliable. Well once again I step into the breech in order to cover Spider Dan. After all we do need some activity around here to keep us more truthful than say the New York Times. Or as I like to call it, "Treason's Chronicle". I read today that the esteemed Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is trying to show the American public what a man she is.

Now that all of you are acquainted with the term "legitimate American", Brother Paul and I can focus on what legitimate Americans must do to marginalize the influence of a pop culture -- media driven and politically bent -- that has taken all the fun out of things. Let me explain, but be forewarned: if you are a liberal Democrat that believes 9/11 was an inside job, the military campaign against

When Republicans go against their base, they at least nominate someone who is an acknowledged patriot and war hero. A known

It took me a little while to get over the withdrawal of the best candidate of the current crop of Presidential hopefuls -- Mitt Romney would have been a stellar president. Since I cannot find it in my heart to betray America, it's people, or those that have given all to preserve and protect her, there is not a snowball's chance in hell I am going to sit out this election just because the best man

There was a time when your humble correspondent used to look forward to trips to the People’s Republik of Berkeley. Growing up in the Bay Area, it’s kind of hard to avoid.

In the beginning this blog had been envisioned as a means for me and a buddy of mine named Redline to offer our political rants. Since we've been around for some four and a half years now, and no one in the audience has ever seen a post from Redline, I figured it wasn't likely to happen anytime soon and cancelled his invite. On the other hand, I do appreciate the views of other conservatives and

Ann Coulter is right. If you must talk to liberals at all, it sure is work. First of all you have to realize that in 99% of all encounters, you would have greater success speaking to a wall. Liberals are inherently unable to give anyone’s ideas any consideration unless they agree completely with their own. This translates into what is known as condescension and patrimony from the likes of the

Long time readers out there know that this is the time of year where I can occasionally wax rhapsodically about the changing of the seasons and the natural beauty of God’s green earth. Mostly I do this out of a genuine love of the land and an acute appreciation for the sweep and grandeur of a Nevada sky, contrasted against the changing colors of the fall foliage.

Hey there sportsfans, sorry for the late post but y'all can always race down to the sportsbook in the morning. If you do, be sure to have a Bloody Mary to help with the lingering financial hangover from the last two weeks of collegiate gridiron action. Last week we pushed on Mississippi State giving 17, we lost outright with the damn Sodbusters of A&M, and we had winners on Mizzou and Texas Tech.

Hijo le mano….what an absolute disaster last weekend was. I hope my faithful readers don’t come looking for me after that bloodbath of gridiron losers that we tossed out there last week. At least the Pollack was smart enough not to make a pick of the week but the Texan and the Mexican both busted bigtime. (But then again so did a lot of sports betting services.) To recall, the Texan had endorsed

I understand now why the Germans get their ass up every generation or so and feel the need to march around Europe. We got into Las Vegas last Friday and spent Friday evening at the Hofbrau Haus watching the Chuckwagon Gang run up our first winner as they destroyed Tulsa. While watching that game, we ate copius amounts of bratwurst and potatoes, all washed down with 6.7% German Oktoberfest beers.

Once Spider got on the outside of a cup of coffee and a seegar this morning, he was able to launch the hi-speed satellite uplink in order to get us his picks this week. Now last week the Pollack finally had a loser, BYU, his first of the year so no sniveling. This week the three of us once again agree on a pick of the week,Kentucky @ Arkansas: Take the Pigs and give the 6 pts. Fayetteville is a

Sometimes kids do indeed say the darnedest things. In these days of over-hyped has beens’ and talentless never-should havebeens’ it is sometimes easy to overlook the truly momentous and important. You see, while today is September 19, an important anniversary passed a couple days ago with nary a mention of it in the media. This past week marks the 220th Birthday of the United States Constitution,

Hey there fellow sportsfans and budding financial emperors. If you all have been betting with the combustible trio of the Texan, the Mexican and the Pollack, you’re winning money so far at a torrid clip since we’ve posted 9 winners and only 2 losers these first two weeks. This week is gut check time as we prepare for the big annual Boy’s Vegas Weekend 2007 next week. That all said, we just

Week 2 of the football season has already begun folks but truth to tell, I wasn't too terribly enamored of any early picks. The WKWR Hi-tech satelite uplink to Texas went down today in the middle of transmission, so we are without the Texan's picks. All we got was a garbled "I been studyin' the Miami Thugs at Mobilehoma Chuckwagon gang and....." We were unable to reestablish contact prior to the

Well there all you football comatose folks out there, how was that for a blistering start? Your football prognosticating trio of the Pollack, the Texan and the Mexican, went out and posted a torrid 6-0 in games we gave you. If you'd had ten bucks on a parlay card, you'd be about $400 bucks better off. Sadly, even your genial host didn't do that. I did have Nebraska wired though and the Pollack

Hey there sports fans. It's that time of year again...the best time of year. There's excitement in the air and every fan thinks their team can win the league and maybe, just maybe, make it to the BCS and the big enchilada known as the National Championship of College Football.

Hey there sports fans. As any legitimate American knows, this Saturday marks the transition from productive months to comatose months for most American males with any measurable level of testosterone. Another season of gridiron glory is upon us and once again my beloved Texas Longhorns will be among the top teams in the country. The big question seems to be whether or not any schools' combination

Those of you that have been with me for awhile know that sometimes I take the time to make an observation about a particular date. Today is one of those days. You see folks, today marks the 62nd anniversary of the saving of millions of lives. Though you won't hear that particular take on it in any media coverage. On August 6, 1945, the United States of America unleashed atomic warfare on Japan in

In my line of work I've been blessed to have met many important persons. Working the occasional dignitary protection detail and working with the Police Association, I've been fortunate enough to have met Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senators, a First Lady, Congressmen and Governors. None of them have ever made the impact upon me that John Finn did. I can hear many of you asking yourselves now,

Hey there sports fans as I told you all earlier this week, we're gonna get caught up around here by starting off with some recipes. I expect that by now, all of the surplus ribs and burgers and potato salad leftover from your Independence Day celebrations have all been consumed. By now y'all could probably use a little lighter fare from your grill. As always, Smilin' Paul is here to accomodate

I’ve been reading a book of late called The Other Face of America by Jorge Ramos. A timely piece as it turns out given the recent fiasco over the immigration bill. In fact reader Jim Hank Duncan, Walnut Creek, CA recently asked my opinion of the immigration bill.

I know that I’ve been lagging you all but damn if there hasn’t been TOO much to opine about. I have been meaning to offer further commentary on the ongoing 2008 Presidential race but it still seems like forever away and besides, how many of y’all really give a damn right now? It’s easy to summarize after all. The democrats still hate America and American values and continue to offer candidates

For those of you keepin' score at home, this is like "Smilin' Paul Villa 82, Algore 0." I say that because anyone with an ounce of common sense and objectivity can see that the former Veep is devoid of both.

The most basic human right is the right to life. Considering that my last true rant was on the relevance of the Second Amendment, it is especially poignant today.

Some of my loyal readers have been taking me to task the last few weeks, ever since I referred to “Rootie” Julieannie in less than glowing terms. Reader Terry Garcia, Moraga CA wanted me to know that she happened to live in NYC (for which she has my sympathies) before, during and after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

I was tending a grill with a couple of t-bones from some of Nevada's finest range fed beef on it and an ice cold Miller High Life in hand (just in case of a fire).

Normally I try to avoid doing my qualifying shoots in the wind and snow. Being descended from a long line of tropical people I’m sure y’all can understand that but today found me recreating the Battle of Stalingrad on a personal level.

I wish I could report that it was a shortage of liberal treachery, stupidity, obtuseness, shortsightedness, , sedition ..etc., which has been keeping me away.

My Christmas lights go up on my house the weekend before Halloween in preparation. We get our tree the first weekend after Thanksgiving and the lights stay on until after Epiphany.

It's been a nice 23 year run so I reckon I can't complain too much. There was the week when I was in school at the University of Texas where I managed to lose my job, my wallet and my girlfriend within a span of a few days. (listed in their order of relative pain in the ass to rectify...) What I learned from those events was that 1. Don't look to Stop and Rob for longterm employment, 2. always
