21,000... Really?

“For real, dogg?” For real, dogg. Seriously QCI-ders… we pass yet again another milestone here at the World’s Crappiest Blog.... over 21,000 hits! I feel like we should do something special. Hmmmm… Sing a song? Nah… that won’t work… this isn’t the Firehouse Lounge. 21 perfect stair steps finished off with a mullet? No time for that type of precision. How about doing like we always do. Keepin' it real deal Holyfield…

GOPUMAs? Krusty has and interesting read today about a meeting of the minds. Takes a shot at Doug Gross. Hershel, Scheff Scheff has them too… every other year to organize for the conventions. You’re right though, KK. We need to unite… more on that later this week.
CHILI – Dudes, it’s officially chili weather. But come to think of it… there’s always room for chili.
HAWKS AND MENTAL HEALTH – Fact: When the Hawks win, everyone is in a better mood.
OVER AT 621 EAST 9TH – Anyone have a darkhorse for chair that isn’t being mentioned? Speak up.
VILSACK AS AG SEC? No way... maybe for something else... just because you're from Iowa, you too can be Secretary of Ag. But this isn't the Iowan who is going to get the big time appointment. Vilsack will not be Ag Sec. Anyone want to place bets?
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST - Iowa AG Tom Miller will be the first Iowan to get a big time appointment in the Obama Administration, not Vilsack. He was one of the first to endorse him. Look for Miller's name connected to a high ranking Justice Department appointment.
BAILOUTS – Is it me or is everyone jumping in on the money free for all. GM… AMEX… damn. Seriously… if I didn’t get the Buick back or back in real crappy shape, I was ready to write Congress for a bailout. What’s the over under chance I’d get it?
NASCAR AND THE BIG 3 – Speaking of the economy… with all the trouble with the Big 3 American automakers… there’s talk that they may not be able to compete in NASCAR… YIKES! Somewhere in the booneys, there are rednecks loading their guns.
PALIN – The Battlegrounders are talking Palin this morning. And they are starting to make sense.
STEELE NOT NEWT – Well that’s the scuttle butt out of DC. Steele wants to be RNC Chair, not Newt… because Newt wants to run for POTUS... but that's just us speculating.

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY
“So and so… thinks it's kinda creepy that Elvis is buried just a few feet away from the swimming pool at Graceland. (A good cannonball could soak him.)”

And as someone rightly pointed out, “He did die over water you know.”

AND FINALLY… We’ve been tapping into the KIOA catalogs for tunes… and I believe I may have committed a ginormous sin… playing no Elvis. We’ll solve that right now with a little ode to the bastard who stole the Buick… and all the other fellas in cellblock B…

Thanks Veterans!

QCI-ders… Winter weather, aye? Urgh. Man it’s cold. But not cold enough to gel up the randomnous... the World’s Crappiest Blog will not be denied… like trying to stop the running angry Shonn Greene The Machine... you can only hope to contain it.
ON THE 11TH DAY OF THE 11TH MONTH ON THE 11TH HOUR – To all of the QCI-ders out there who wear and wore the uniform… thanks. Think about this a bit. You know when we get to the Holidays… people are a little nicer… more generous to those in need… then you always here it somewhere, shouldn’t it be like this all year round? On the same notion, I think it should Veterans Day… every day. You know except… without banks and stuff closed everyday… that would mess some things up. But you get my point. How’s that whole freedom thing treating you today? Pretty friggin’ good, right? Then thank a Veteran… today and every day.
SPEAKING OF VETERANS – A friend of mine had an interesting thought. She wondered why she had the day off while her husband, who served in the military, had to work today… hmmm….
PAULSEN IS THE NEW GUY – Unless this is the first time you have ever used a computer… here’s a little scoop… Kraig Paulsen is the new GOP House Leader. Everyone in the LBC is on it… so I’ll let them keep with it. Krusty, Fly Boys and the CD have the deets and commentary.

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY

“So and so is… is wondering why all those pesky tasks seem to increase the closer you get to needing to leave for the dang airport.”

QCI-der’s Facebook statuses are wise… very wise.

MCKINLEY IS UP NEXT? Well that’s what they’re saying. Senator Paul McKinley may be the next GOP Senate Leader. We’ll see.
NEWT FOR RNC CHAIR? It took the Battlegrounders to be the first ones to bring this up?
TA TA TA TAMPA! What do you think? You think the Hawks can do it? Gonna have to move the Deep Water Fishing Trip to Late December! Hopefully.

AND FINALLY… We dig back in to the KIOA catalog and loyal reader Chad Sealine’s favorite golden oldie… and very appropiate for today. Yo Sealine, how many times did you crank this on the record player back in the day? Crank it again!

WOW!!!! WHAT A WEEKEND – QCI-ders, it’s been an amazing weekend. All starting with the Return of the Buick… to Hawkeye Hooliganism at its best! HOW 'BOUT THEM HAWKEYES!!!!!!

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT – Well, there are 3 things I know for certain… the sun willl rise in the east, the Chiefs still suck and the Pope is still Catholic. No real surprises here.

QCI FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY

“So and so is… hoping people can gracefully admit defeat and move on.”

You know, sometimes Facebook puts things in ways that I could understand them.

THESE THINGS ARE A CHANGING – Well, at RPI and the Party in general. The rest of my peeps in the LBC are discussing the chair races and new leadership in the Golden Dome. Your ole buddy G$ and the World’s Crappiest Blog has eyes on the developments… and we’re gonna throw our ideas out there too…

Now, by all means, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed on this crap… but… if you’ve been around something… as long as I did… you’ll soak up something. That post is in the QCI Editing Room (also known as a nice heated garage in Jewell). We’ll serve it up with couple of cans of your favorite economically priced American macrobrew this week. Some will be base hit ideas and some will be complete whiffs….

CHATTER – Now I’m serious about this QCI-ders. What’s your ideas for a GOP comeback? The greatest thing about this blog is, in most cases the readers are smarter than the writer. So what do you think? You have a few prescriptions for the GOP Comeback in Iowa? Use and abuse the comment section.

BUICK-GATE IS OVER... Whew...

BUICK-GATE IS OVER – Whew!!!!!! This is awesome!!! Glad to have the car back!!! A little damage… not as bad as I thought it would end up. But looks like insurance will help… AND you know what’s even better? They found the bastard who took it.
DETAILS – I’m not gonna get into whole bunch of details… because, this bastard is getting sent to the Polk County clink… and I’m not an attorney. So I have no idea what I could screw up putting this piece of shit in jail. Give me a call if you want the FULL deets… the DMPD was able to find my car because of an accident… because this guy, “Borrowed this car from his cousin.” And now Mr. Shithead is going to jail.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU – First, I want to thank the true professionals at the Des Moines Police Department. From start to finish… they were great! Got the car back and brought this moron to Justice. Next, my great family. For the rides and providing some much needed humor to the situation. My friends… man I have some awesome friends out there. The crew down at Flanny’s… they were handing out my license number car description this morning. You guys are freakin amazing. Obviously, we won’t be cruising around tomorrow. We can all enjoy the Iowa/Penn State game… GO HAWKS!!!!!
NOW… BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM – Loyal Readers of QCI, we’s gots all sorts of stuff to talk about. Election Recap, Chairman’a race, Randomnous, how bad the Chiefs suck, and so on. Stay tuned!
