Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos: The Ninja Option?

By now you have to have been pulling a Castaway number to have not heard of Operation Chaos. For those aspiring Robinson Crusoe’s among you, Op. Chaos is a brilliant creation of Rush Limbaugh. What he has done is to give all those Conservatives who have missed out on voting against John McCain a new voting life by way of switching parties and becoming “Shadow Democrats” for the remaining DNC primaries.  

Oddly enough, Rush is pushing all of these newly switched Shadow-Dems to vote for Hillary. Now isn’t that a kick in the pantsuits. With enough newly acquired “sympathetic supporters” that have come rushing to her from the Republican side, she is quickly closing the gap with her opponent, B. Hussein Obama (AKA, Mr. Real Change). 

The result of this mass switch of parties has caused all of the Liberals in the coming state elections to literally seethe in rage at Rush. Oh if only they hadn’t of fought so hard to get rid of firing squads. As usual, Liberalism bites itself on its hemispherical butt. 

What is believed is that this unique voting tactic will extend the race for the DNC Honcho-ship while at the same time forcing the Mainstream Media to expose all of the hidden spooks and skeletons in both candidates’ closets. Better still, Op. Chaos has brought to the forefront the true power behind all DNC elections; which is an elusive covert branch referred to as, “The Super Delegates”. These Supreme Liberal Beings are the only Democrats whose votes will ever actually decide who wins the DNC ticket in all future Presidential elections. 

Yes, despite the age old, “every vote should count” credo shrieked in wholesale fashion by the Democrats and their mainstream media cohorts; only the Elite Super Delegates have countable votes. Thus, anyone who is dumb enough to vote for their favorite Democrat in a Presidential primary is closer to getting a free pass into Wally World than to have a real voice in who will be the DNC Presidential candidate. 

Hey maybe that also explains why “P.T. Barnum” Gore’s Global Warming movement has gotten so popular? As the Democrat Elite know, there is a sucker born every day. Which is why Rush’s next phase of OP Chaos looks viable.  

“The Doomsday Option” phase of Op. Chaos requires the Super Delegate Elitists to completely ignore the highly touted HC and BO candidates and instead elect their own choice for the DNC. Al Gore would be a viable choice except he won’t debate any Republican about Global Warming. Well, anyone except maybe comrade John McCain (see L.I.A.R.) who has completely fallen for this global worm’s scam. 

There’s also a good chance he could be the Super Delegates favorite choice. Better still, if McCain became the DNC candidate that would mean we could actually have a Republican do-over election! That would light an M-80 under Old Yeller Reid and Pork Salad Pelosi. 

That brings us to what I call the third phase of Operation Chaos; the “Ninja Option”. For years we have borne witness to elections being undermined and determined by the Mainstream TV and print media. The primary tools for their cause have always been bias, distortion and the promulgation of socialistic doctrine. This can only be expected from those who are elitist and yet inherently absent of common sense or moral values (see Bill Clinton). 

Since the advent of cable news and the internet, all of their collusions with the DNC have slowly been tanking due to their shallow façade of objectivity… along with their failing popularity. About the only weapon of value left within their Liberal arsenal is polling…and boy can they use the polls. 

For the past thirty years the Democrat Party has basked in positive polling from their media cohorts like pigs wallowing in slop. They’re just as happy as they can be because they know that most Americans want to be followers rather than trend setters. That’s why Neil Boortz calls them, “Dumb-Masses”. Thus if a poll just happens to claim that the majority of Americans want something like “real changes”, then the masses will follow in lockstep glee. 

So in order to take away the Liberal Media’s last offensive weapon, Rush needs to institute the final phase of Operation Chaos, the “Ninja Option”. What this will do is to virtually strip away polling from having any effect on the outcome of all future elections and insure that the MSM cannot alter the true, “will of the people”. 

That is because the Ninja Option creates and guarantees an ongoing supply of registered Democrat majorities across the USA. So many in fact, that the DNC will not have a clue as to determining where to defend against or attack Republican candidates before general elections. Imagine them wringing their evil little talons at trying to figure out where to spend money when they have the party voter majorities in just about every place…and you thought you heard Howard Dean screeching before.  

The Ninja option of OP. Chaos requires that all participating Republicans who are Rush Babies (Conservatives) switch parties to join the DNC until the end of this 2008 election year. Yes, that means even though your state has already blown its wad on electing L.I.A.R. McCain, you can still get your shot at trying to win back Congress and the Senate to a Republican majority…and do so by becoming a “Ninja Republican” under the Ninja Option! 

Don’t worry; you will not be a Democrat for too long. You can switch back to the Right after the General Elections. You won’t be there long enough to be seduced by the dark side of the Farce. No, just put on your Ninja suits, join the DNC and poll as a Democrat but vote Republican. That way the DNC and MSM will be completely befuddled at where to attack Republican candidates. After the elections switch back to being a Republican and vote in your respective state Republican Primaries. 

The beauty of this “Party-Hopping” via Operation Chaos and the Ninja Option is that you’ll drive the DNC hierarchy absolutely bug-frigging nuts trying to figure out where they need to work their MSM cohorts and spend their uncontrollable “donor” money. Sure, they can make their claims that a large majority of Americans are Democrats, but that won’t mean flip when they start losing elections because of cross voting Ninja Republicans who are annually infiltrating their party after each state primary. 

The cool thing about Operation Chaos and the Ninja Option is that this can be done each and every election year to counter the DNC money machines and the Mainstream Media’s bias and polling. Even though John McCain would be the first Republican to benefit from the Ninja Republicans, maybe we can get him to sign some kind of Conservative Presidential Pre-nuptial agreement. That’s about the only way I’d ever vote for him.

Now Who Was It That Said, Washington Is Broken?

This is perhaps the most bizarre Republican Primary Election that I’ve ever witnessed. As a matter of fact, the entire GOP looks like it is going over the edge. In my mind, it is an unholy alliance that my party has wrapped its arms around the most Liberal of all our Candidates to run for President of the United States. Yet as we’ve all witnessed in just one week, it’s nothing more than politics as usual within the Republican hierarchy.

Over the course of just one year I have become so disgusted at many of those who I thought were honorable men. From President Bush’s promise to sign the Amnesty Bill to John McCain’s collaborations, I have constantly found myself growing more and more disgruntled by the wholesale lack of Conservative actions and utterly sickened by the slimy way in which Liberalism has been infiltrating my party.

You know it’s bad enough that the Mainstream Media has virtually brainwashed just about everyone in the GOP into actually believing McCain can beat Hillary, but what realty ticks me off even more is that he so arrogantly believes it as well…which just isn’t going to happen this year next year or any other year. You see, John McCain, the tyrannosaurs armed warped minded curmudgeon of old school political back room legerdemain has been set-up by his buddies in the MSM. And this election is going to be a brutal defeat for the GOP.

After their 2006 landslide defeat one would think that the Republicans would have learned their lesson about following the “popular choices” of Americans as portrayed by the MSM. But no, these morons are still mesmerized by the MSM. Hey, maybe next year the MSM will convince all Republican legislators to do the  chicken dance on the House Floor after the Liberal President takes his/her Oath of Office. Oh, and make no mistakes about this; the next President will be a Liberal. Whether it’s HC or BO, or even if somehow Satan fixes the election and JM wins, the President will be a Liberal.

This could have been avoided only by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee joining forces to defeat Mr. Collaboration. Except both of these men let McCain play them against one another while he placed his way-too-small hands upon his toad looking cheeks and blew raspberries at the both of them. You could almost hear him in the background smirking, “Nah Nah Na Nah Nah. I’m gonna win because I got the all the marbles and you don’t.”

The sad thing here is that Mitt Romney has now proven to be a true flip flopper after all. He was going to fight till the bitter end one week and then the next week he flipping quits? What’s up with that? Now he comes out and endorses the vile man who used dirty tricks and back-room deals to kill his campaign. I guess for his next trick Romney will burn pictures of Donny and Marie for the sake of “Party Unity”. Don’t put it past him because he has knelt down before the lumpy posterior of “Johnny Two-Faces” and pursed his anxious lips in submission. He earned his brown nose for a future in the Party that will unfortunately never be.

What other deal did Mitt cut for himself? What was his thirty pieces of silver? I have always believed that it is far easier for a good man to become bad than for a bad man to ever turn good. At least Romney has proven this belief to remain true. Just as Jimmy Swaggert fell for sex and Jim Bakker gave his soul for money, the Governor has thrown away his morals for a small taste of John McCain’s venomous apple. The theory is that McCain won’t go for a second term and Romney’s hoping to be his VP till 2012. The only problem with that is McCain won’t win. Thus Romney has not only bet on a fleabag, but he’s also destroyed any chance of ever becoming President. Because we now all see what he is.

It would be nice if Mike Huckabee could pull a miracle out of his hat and win. In the past week he’s proven to be a far better man than Romney portrayed himself to be. To think I actually voted for Romney in Florida. That makes my stomach turn. The only hope for Huck is that he gets the support of all the delegates who were lied to by Romney. That and McCain not getting the required 1191 number would mean a convention vote. That’s where the game can get really exciting, ladies and gentlemen.

It’s a shame that the Republican Party didn’t get it back in 2006. It still hasn’t sunk in to their arrogant political pea brains. They can “broker” all the moves and power they want, but it’s the voters who will determine what WE want. News Flash, Mr. Reagan foot soldier is going to get his butt whipped by a woman. That’s only if Hillary’s crew remembers to send Obama the memo that says he’s supposed to lose. Apparently, he didn’t get the earlier one.

How Far Will One L.I.A.R Go To Become President?

During the current primary elections we have once again been treated to a host of candidates which all lack complete Conservative character. The least Conservative among them all is John McCain. Yet he is leading all the GOP candidates after the “Super Tuesday” Primaries.  I will suggest my theories on why this dangerous man has been promoted by all of the mainstream media.

The current “Front-Runner”, is Senator John McCain. Unfortunately, he is perhaps the least Conservative of all the candidates in the GOP race. Surely you must have found out by now that he’s an ex-POW from the Vietnam War. He has reminded us all of this during just about every debate he’s attended. One can almost hear the groans during these debates when reminded by him, time after time.

 Some coin Sen. McCain as being a RINO candidate. RINO is the abbreviated form of “Republican In Name Only”. I feel that this doesn’t apply to Sen. McCain because a RINO can be anything from moderate to a leftist Republican. I am more inclined to see Sen. McCain as being a pure L.I.A.R. (Liberal Imitating A Republican). With the exception of his current stand on the Iraq War, he is Liberal in all other matters.

His history of Conservatism just does not exist and yet he argues that he’s been a “Reagan Conservative” since before Ronald Reagan was elected to the Presidency. Again, he echoes that he was a “Foot Soldier” in the Reagan movement. That is what he claims qualifies him as being a career Conservative. Yet, his only engraved history is that of a Liberal and this is evidenced by his Senate voting history and all of the poor legislation which bears his name.

I guess the one thing that sickens me about Sen. McCain is his political tactics, collaboration skills and misrepresentations when pandering for support from so many willing partners. All of these tactics that he is employing are evidence of his Liberalism. You see, the main difference between Liberals and Conservatives is that Liberals pander while Conservatives take a stand. What Sen. McCain refers to as, “reaching across the aisle” can easily be seen as crossing the aisle and joining the other side.

Of course that is something that the senator has been doing since his early days of becoming a POW back in Vietnam. Another example of his history of being able to collaborate with others is evidenced in his own words:

After being periodically slapped around for “three or four days” by his captors who wanted military information from him, McCain called  for an officer on his fourth day of captivity. He told the officer, “O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.” -U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain.

How about what he wrote in his own book?

“Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate my medical treatment if I did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship’s name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant.” Page 193-194, “Faith of My Fathers” by John McCain.

Were these treasonous acts or self-preservation? You decide. In either case these acts should never qualify him as being a, “war hero”.  The war heroes were the hundreds of POWs who died in captivity before ever collaborating with the communists. Senator McCain has a campaign ad where he claims that, “Americans never surrender!” Yet isn’t surrender and collaboration a major part his history and character?

When Sen. McCain talks about, “crossing the aisle to compromise with his opponents” he is really saying, “I habitually surrendered to their side”. Ronald Reagan did not compromise; he reached across the aisle and slapped the Liberals silly to beat them. This is how Reagan and Conservatism saved the United States and tore down the Berlin Wall after the horror of the Carter administration.

If one thinks that Sen. McCain is going to better this country then they’ve got another thing coming. This whole GOP Primary has been about beating Hillary. That is why all Republicans have been voting so blindly for McCain’s candidacy. They believe the perpetration of lies from the mainstream media that portrays McCain as the only Republican that can beat her.

What these brainwashed Republicans don’t understand is that the media wants nothing less than Hillary in office. Forget the Obama factor because he’ll soon be trashed by the “Machine”. Hillary is their girl and she’ll eat McCain’s lunch in an election because they want Liberal control of the Whitehouse. Better yet, even if McCain were to actually win the Presidency despite the coming assaults on his POW record, his character, psychological well being, his age, and his history as a panderer; the mainstream media and Liberals will get everything they want.

That is because the Liberals already control both Houses and whether it’s Hillary or McCain, they will also control the Presidency. So in either case, they will get their wish and the Republicans who’re voting for McCain are still helping to set this all up. He may think that once he “wraps-up” his candidacy, the Conservatives will hop on his bandwagon to help beat Hillary. I can guarantee Senator McCain will get very little conservative backing. Rather, most Conservatives will sit this one out rather than to vote for the likes of him.

The smart bet here is for the GOP to take their money and put it to good use. Let McCain finance his own lost cause and use the funds to help win back control of both houses. Personally, I’m going to write in Governor Mitt Romney’s name.

The Enactment of the Fair Tax Plan – The First Twenty Years

This is a fictional work of mine on what I think the United States will look like after the first twenty years that the Fair Tax Plan has become law.

It’s been twenty years since Congress enacted the Fair Tax and abolished the 16th Amendment. All historians agree that this was without a doubt the most significant and extraordinary law ever enacted by our government since the Abolishment of Slavery. Even though it had its initial teething stage, the Fair Tax Act has proven to be the single most dramatic point in American history where our failing global economic status was turned around to make this great country the world’s foremost example of fiscal prosperity. A prosperity that not only transposed the United States into the world’s corporate and industrial magnet but also trickled across the oceans to be replicated by other countries like, France, England, Australia, and Russia. Rather, after the Fair Tax was enacted, America quickly repositioned itself back into the forefront of global industrial dominance.So why did the Fair Tax take so long to get enacted? The short answer would be for me to write, demagoguery. However, it soon became evident that the real answers were more or less political corruption, the perpetuation of misrepresentations by the mainstream media and foreign governmental clandestine influences.

In the beginning the Fair Tax Plan was commonly referred to as a, “Grassroots Organization” trying to get the IRS abrogated. As we all know now, that wasn’t just the main goal of the Fair Tax supporters. The primary cause of those “grassroots” members was to take control of our own income and through our own actions, voluntarily fund the United States and stop the government from dictating our lives while perpetuating their individual political causes with and by the threat of police powers and incarceration.

When the Fair Tax “grassroots organization” became a major political movement most politicians began to see that their livelihood was starting to be endangered. They quickly realized that the lobbyist who they had engaged in “business” with in the past was not going to help them once they got voted out of office. Even though the partisan media tried to distort the principles and beneficial repercussions of the Fair Tax, the people sought the truth and learned on their own what was so easy to grasp.

All of the websites and the books provided enough evidence of what the Fair Tax would do to empower America and her people. With all this knowledge in hand the grassroots became a massive monolithic political force that even the lobbyist could not overcome. Most politicians were forced into supporting the Act or found themselves battling for their seats in each coming election. Those who survived quickly came on board. Those who failed disappeared from the public eye along with their lobbyist brethren.

Perhaps the most influential lobbyist entities that were eliminated by the people through elections were those from foreign countries who had infiltrated themselves inside the political Washington crowd. As an example, the Chinese lobbying “agents” found that even our more questionable politicians had to get onboard with the Fair Tax or be dumped out of office. That is mainly why the Chinese economy is in so much trouble today. They have waged and lost an economic war against the United States and are now faced with having to reign in their tumultuous people.

The first year after the Fair Tax became law and the Income Tax was repealed we witnessed a somewhat early stumbling among American businesses. Some wrongfully felt that they could incorporate the 30% loss of the embedded manufacturing tax into a new line item for profits by selling at their same pre-Fair Tax rates and adding the new 23% consumption tax to their prices. After their sudden loss of sales and profits to their competitors who didn’t get greedy, they quickly realized the folly of that venture.

It is argued that the best result during the first year of enactment was what the Fair Tax did to help the lower income people and the elderly. Remember how quickly the lower income people started to benefit from having more income to live with? Once they started receiving all of their income and the monthly pre-bates the “poor” suddenly found that they could afford the things they wanted; as well as find newer and better paying jobs everywhere across the country.

Once the elderly started receiving their untaxed social security checks and monthly pre-bates they too found that they could live well and actually save money each month. Most found that they were no longer strapped unto poverty by the government. That is because all of their investments, their benefits and their income started experiencing tax free growth instead of shriveling away.

I argue that the primary benefit to the United States was the incredible growth of our economy that resulted from the Fair Tax. Remember that in the first year alone sixteen American businesses relocated their manufacturing plants back to the United States. Those are what are referred to as the “Sweet Sixteen”. Sweet because they showed all other American companies that had relocated overseas that America was back at the front of profitable global industrial domination.

Now after twenty years all the American companies that had once escaped our prior persecuting tax enthralled government and its debatable corporate envy, have returned to America. The resulting numbers of new jobs created by these companies were unprecedented in our history. In fact, now that over 2,500 other foreign companies have relocated here the growth of the American economy has resulted in our government’s growing 5 trillion dollar surplus. The good problem here is trying to fill the millions of available jobs which are annually left untaken. That is why unemployment is becoming a lost word in the English language.

In closing, let me explain why I call the last two decades as the, “Decades of More”. Since the enactment of the Fair Tax Act the United States people have gotten more money, more savings, more jobs, and more joy out of life than at any other time in American history.

The College Basketball Dice Game

This is the forth installment in a world of incredibly fun sports games played with dice. In the first installment I taught you how to play the college version of Dice Football. Then in the second you learned the Pro Football dice game and the third dice game was, Dice Baseball. Now we are going to learn the Dice College Basketball Game. Unlike the football games you will need eight dice, notebook paper and a pen or pencil to play dice basketball.

You will recall that in the college football game you got your box score set up so that you can begin the game and just take turns for four quarters. In the dice basketball games you will have to make a box score sheet that has two boxes split in half. These two halves represent the home team and the visitors. It does not matter who rolls first in dice basketball.

In the college version of dice basketball each team only gets two halves to roll for their scoring. In the coming pro version there are actually four quarters per team.

Scoring is pretty simple. Each team gets to start their first half by rolling all of the eight dice once. Once rolled, count up the total of all eight dice. As an example let us assume that the Home team rolled the following dice totals; 4, 3, 1, 6, 5, 6, 1, 2. In all, these total 28 which would represent 28 points. At most eight dice would only total 48 points per half. Which is a little better than average, in terms of college basketball. However, one would have to roll eight dice that all hit sixes in order to get to 48 points.

This is where you can choose what kind of game you wish to play. If you like low scoring games then keep the score as originally rolled. If you like a lot of scoring then you can re-roll the lower dice to achieve higher scoring games. I like to use 1, 2, and 3 as re-roll dice. So what we will do is take the four dice which are 1, 1, 2, and 3 in the above example and re-roll them. Those four dice come out as the following; 2, 4, 4, 5. This re-roll total equals 15 points. Now all we have to do is add the 15 points to the original 28 points for a first half Home team score of 43 points. Not bad at all. Remember, you get to choose what re-roll dice you want to use, if any at all.

Now the Visitors get to strike back. Their dice totals are; 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 4, 5, 4. This equals a total of 31. Now the Visitors re-roll the 2, 3, and 3 and come up with 4, 5, and a 1; for a total of 10 points. The Visitors add this 10 points to their previous total of 31 for a final first half score of 41. Thus the first half basketball game ends with the Home team winning by a score of 43 to 41 over the Visitors.

The team who is behind always goes first in the second half. If the score is tied then the Visitors have to go first in the second half. So let us say that the Visitors roll the following; 2, 4, 5, 3, 3, 5, 6, 1. That is a total of 29. Now the Visitors re-roll the 1, 2, 3, and 3 which results in 4, 5, 3, and 6 for a total of 18. They add the previous 29 to the 18 and their second half score totals 47 points. This score is added to their first half total of 41 points. The game ends for them with their score of 88 points.

The Home team responds with a roll of 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 4, 4, and 3 for a total of 30 points. Then they re-roll the 3, 3, 3, and 3 which results in dice totals of 6, 5, 4, and 6. That is a total of 21 points! When they add the 21 to their previous roll of 30 we see that they have a total second half score of 51 points. When added to their first half score of 43 points the Home team has come back to win the game by a score of 94 to 88.

Now if a game ends in a tied score then both teams play an overtime quarter. For overtime, both teams roll only four dice and the re-roll dice rule is equally in play. Again, if the score ends in a tie then you just keep playing overtime quarters until a winner emerges.

Handicapping College basketball dice games can be a snap. Let us say that you have the Home team advantage. How this advantage can be enacted is to allow the Home team to get re-rolls on all 1, 2, and 3 dice rolls. The Visitors will get to re-roll on the dice rolls of 1 and 2 only. This handicapping can be fun if you have several teams in some sort of tournament set-up. Try it and see for yourself what fun tournament play is. Especially when an underdog knocks off a favorite.

Till then, keep on rolling.

The Baseball Dice Game

This is the third installment in a world of incredibly fun sports games played with dice. In the first installment I taught you how to play the college version of Dice Football. Then in the second you learned the Pro Football dice game. Now it is Dice Baseball, which is the first dice game that I ever invented. Just as in my football games you will need two dice, notebook paper and a pen or pencil to play dice baseball.

You will recall that in the college football game you got your box score set up so that you can begin the game and just take turns for four quarters. In the baseball game you will have to make a box score sheet that has nine boxes split in half. These two halves represent the home team and the visitors. Remember that in baseball the home team always bats last and should be on the bottom of the two box halves.

As in real baseball each team rolls for nine innings. The exception of course is the home team. If the home team is winning after the visitor has finished his half of the ninth, then there is no need for the home boys to roll the ninth. Just like in real baseball the game is over and the dice can hit the showers.

Batting is pretty simple. Each team gets to start their half of an inning by rolling the dice once. If the two die total an even number then they can roll again. That is because even dice totals equal one single. An even dice total will be one of the following combinations; 1+3=4, 1+5=6, 2+4=6, 2+6=8, 3+5=8, 4+6=10. If the next roll yields an even number then there has been another hit. Now in baseball terms this means that there are, two men on base. The rolling player now gets a third roll. As you can see where this is going, another even number means that the bases are loaded. A fourth consecutive even dice result will bring home the first run and each consecutive roll will continue to bring home runners until the roller finally rolls an odd dice total.

Any odd dice total represents the end of an inning. Thus, if a player rolls an odd number on his first roll, then that inning is over. The odd dice totals are as follows; 1+2=3, 1+4=5, 1+6=7, 2+3=5, 2+5=7, 3+4=7, 3+6=9, 4+5=9, 5+6=11. A really cool thing to do during this game is to see if you can get a no-hit game. You can do this by simply putting a dot in the innings that a player rolls an odd number. You can start this on their initial first inning roll. Each consecutive inning thereafter that the player continues to perform a first odd roll continues the no-hitter up until the player finally rolls an even number. If they fail to roll at least one even number in nine innings that means you pitched a no-hitter. Time to call Cooperstown!

So where are the homeruns? I bet you are glad that I asked. Any time a player rolls a double-dice roll, he has hit a Homerun! That is all that it takes; doubles aka, two of a kind. Better yet, if there are any men on base then they score with the homerun. Yes, with the bases loaded a homerun is a grand slam.

This is an example of how the baseball game can be played. Let us say the visitors roll a 2+3 on his initial first inning roll. The visitors inning is considered over and with no hits. The home team rolls a 4+6 (10) on the first roll. That represents a base hit or one man on base. The home player then rolls a 3+5 (8) thus getting a second man on base. Then he rolls a 1+4 (5). The inning is over. End result of the first inning is 0 to 0.

The visitor starts his second inning with a pair of threes (3+3). Boom, he hit a homerun. He then rolls a 2+5 (7), which means the inning is over. The visitor has scored a run in their half of the second and leads the game, 1 to 0. The home team starts with a 2+4 (6) single. Then on the next roll the home player rolls a pair of fours (4+4). The home player has hit a two run homerun since there was a man already on base. The next roll is a 3+4 (7) out and that ends the second inning with the home team ahead, 2-1.

Now for the rest of the game neither team scores again until the ninth inning when the visitor strings together six consecutive even numbers before rolling the inevitable odd number. That means the visitor scored three runs and now leads the game, 4-2. Then the home team follows with three consecutive rolls of doubles (homeruns); which means they won the game, 5-4. What a comeback!

If the score ends in a tie after nine innings then just keep playing one inning at a time until someone finally wins. That is what baseball calls, extra-innings. In the next article I will attempt to teach you about the college basketball dice games. Till then, keep on rolling.

The Pro Football Dice Game.

This is the next installment in a world of incredibly fun sports games played with dice. In the first installment I taught you how to play the college version of “Dice Football”. That was the simplest of all my dice sports games. Now it is time to start getting a little more complex by teaching you the Pro Football version. As, in all my dice football games you will need two dice, notebook paper and a pen or pencil. 

You will recall that in the college version you got your box score set up so that you can begin the game and just take turns for four quarters. In the pro version the top team is always the home team and they always go first in the first and third quarters only. In the second and fourth quarters the visitor team goes first which allows the home team the advantage of “coming back” to win. 

Both teams will only get three rolls of the two dice per quarter-instead of the five rolls per team in the college version. This discrepancy in rolls is due to the fact that it is much harder to score points in the pros than it is in college football. Oddly enough, it is also harder to shut out a pro team than a college team. That will be reflected in the field goal section below. You always allow the two teams to make their rolls (3) in the quarter all at once. In short, both teams roll two dice three times for each quarter of the game. Remember, the home team goes first in the first and third quarters only! 

Just like in the college game scoring occurs when the two dice hit “doubles”. That is a touchdown and it’s worth six points. For the extra point you would roll two dice also-unlike the single one dice roll in college. If the dice roll results in “snake-eyes” (a pair of ones), the extra point is missed. Remember, you get three rolls of two dice per quarter per team. 

Just as in the college game field goals can be attempted whenever one roll of dice results in a total of either a ten (4 & 6) or eleven (5 & 6). At that point you roll one dice to see if the field goal is good. When you attempt a field goal in the pro game and you roll a one, two, three, or four the field goal is good. Roll a five or six and that means you missed. 

This is an example of how the pro game can break down. The home team rolls the dice two times before a pair of “fives” result…Touchdown! The home team rolls one dice and it results in a four…extra point is good-seven points total. The visitor then takes two rolls before rolling an eleven, which is a field goal attempt. He then rolls a two which means that the field goal is good. The total score at the end of the first quarter is home-7, visitors-3. 

Neither team scores again until the fourth quarter. The visitor goes first and rolls once before rolling a ten. He rolls a six on his field goal attempt which means that he missed. Then he rolls doubles on his third and last toss and makes a successful extra point roll. His final score in the game is 10 points. Then the home team rolls three times and scores “doubles” on his last roll. He makes the extra point and wins the game with a final score of 14 to 10. 

If the score ends in a tie just alternate one roll of two dice between the two teams until someone scores. In the next article I’ll teach you about handicapping the college and pro football dice games which allows you to play entire seasons and get “real-time” results. Till then, keep on rolling.

The College Football Dice Game

In this first installment I am going to teach you about playing the college version of “Dice Football”. This is probably the simplest of all my dice sports games that I’ll reveal in later articles. Anyway, in all dice football games you will need two dice, notebook paper and a pen or pencil.The first thing you’ll need to do is draw a two inch horizontal rectangle on the paper encompassing three lines. I prefer college ruled notebook paper because the lines already create a smaller natural Visitor/Home team’s divider for the rectangle you draw. Next break your rectangle into quarters-just like in the box scores you see in the newspaper. You can write in any two college teams that you want to see play or just stick with the home/visitor set-up.

Once you’ve got your box score* set up you can begin the game. The top team always goes first. Both teams will get five rolls of the two dice. You always allow the two teams to make their rolls (5) in the quarter all at once. In simpler terms, the visitor team rolls two dice five times. Then the home team does the same. You do this for each quarter of the game.

Scoring occurs when the two dice hit “doubles”. That is a touchdown and it’s worth six points. For the extra point you would roll just one dice. If the dice is anything other than a “one”, the extra point is good. Should you roll a one then the extra point was missed and you’ll have to settle on just six points for that one particular roll. Remember, you get five rolls of two dice per quarter per team.

Field goals can be attempted whenever one roll of dice results in a total of either a ten (4 & 6) or eleven (5&6). At that point you roll one dice to see if the field goal is good. When you attempt a field goal and you roll a one, two or three, the field goal is good. Roll a four, five or six and that means you missed…bummer.

This is an example of how the game can break down. The visitor team rolls the dice three times before a pair of twos result…Touchdown! The visitor rolls one dice and it results in a four…extra point is good-seven points total. The visitor makes their fifth roll and nails an eleven. A field goal attempt! He rolls a two which means that the field goal is good. The total score for the visitor in the first quarter is ten points. They got seven for the TD and the extra point plus the three points for the field goal.

The home team rolls twice before rolling a ten. He rolls a five on his field goal attempt which means he missed. Then he rolls doubles on both of his last two rolls, making the extra point both times. His final score in the first quarter is a fourteen. Thus the home team leads the game after the first quarter 14 to 10.

Keep rolling until the end of four quarters. If the score ends in a tie just alternate one roll of two dice between the two teams until someone scores. In the next article I’ll teach you about dice pro football which is a little more complicated. Till then, keep on rolling.

Dice Sports Games That Are Fun.

This is an introduction to a world of incredibly fun games played with dice. No, I am not going to teach you how to gamble. Rather, I am going to show you how just 2 to 8 dice can allow you to play any number of sports games.

Each week we’ll add new Sports Dice Games that can be played solo or against a friend. However, I would first like to introduce you to how these nifty games originated.

Back in the late sixties and early seventies whenever rain kept us inside my friends and I used to play a ton of different dice games. You see when I was a young teen we didn’t have video games, computers, the Internet or cell phones. We didn’t even have cable TV, DVDs, or even VCRs. Even most theatres were located outside where we could drive into them rather than walk.

Well, at least the hot buttered popcorn was better back then. Shoot, even board games were limited to about ten games starting with “Checkers” and ending with “Mystery Date” (No, I NEVER played Mystery Date). About the only games that could be referred to as “interactive” were Mousetrap, Operation and Battleship. All were pretty much boring after playing them a million times. I mean seriously, seeing that plastic cage spiraling down on top of the mouse lost its appeal after the first hundred times.

So we took to the “Bones” and just started making up these games…and we’d play them for hours. Enjoy!

What Does L.I.A.R. Stand For And How Will It Affect The 2008 Presidential Elections?

In the past few years our elected Republicans have completely turned away from Conservative principles and have actually promoted Liberal doctrine.  We have seen this in the out-of-control spending and unjustified beliefs in junk science and more government control of our lives. What was once a Republican election victory through the, “Contract with America” concept has now become the Death Warrant of the same Party. The question is why? Why did the Republicans who lost all of these seats go south on the Conservative principles that made this country so great? I have surmised of a plan and I call this the L.I.A.R. Conspiracy.

L.I.A.R. is an anagram for “Liberal Imitating A Republican”. A couple examples of LIARs would be Senators John McCain, Governor Charlie Crist and the Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger. These are just a few but believe me, there are many more in and out of office. What has happened is that after the Contract with America booted the Liberals out of control of Congress they realized that the American people have grown tired with their agenda of more Government Control, Entitlements, Waste, Taxes and Spending. Yet because this is who they are they found themselves in a conundrum. They cannot change nor will they ever try to. Big Government and controlling the American people is their core.

So that, I suggest was when this plan was hatched. First they had to use their only ally to help convince the seated Republicans that despite what elections represent, the people want Liberal actions. Want to make a Republican vote on a bill that lacks Conservative values? Then get the mainstream media to run a poll that is slanted for the bill. Run constant news stories that portray the People as wanting this piece of legislature enacted. Hammer it home often enough and eventually it becomes fact. This is pure brainwashing in its basic sense and the Republicans fell into the lies without a second thought. If you doubt this scenario, go back to the 2006 elections and see what the real truth was among Republican voters.

Yet still, Republican voters would never choose any Democrat over a Conservative. That is where the Democrats really snuffed the Republican brainwash victims. They all ran as Democrats with Conservative principles. They portrayed themselves as being more Conservative than the seated Republicans who were going nuts acting as Liberals. It was a slam-dunk victory for the Democrats and their mass media cohorts. The only Republicans who saved their “seats” were those who held on to Conservative values or were those who I’ve dubbed, the L.I.A.R.s.

One way that you can pretty easily tell who a L.I.A.R. is, is just by looking at who the Democrat party runs against them. As an example, John McCain has four times won his seat by running against an oddball ex-state legislator in 1986, an impeached ex-governor and civil rights activist in 1992, an environmental lawyer in 1998, and an eighth grade math teacher in 2004. These are not what can be called serious Democrat challengers, can they? The fact that if the DNC felt that McCain is a threat that needs to be removed one would think they could find a real political “Rock Star” to run against him. It can easily be deduced that McCain is viewed as one of their own even though he’s currently a Republican. Shoot, McCain is so Liberal that Kerry wanted him as a running mate BEFORE John Edwards.

Yet being a L.I.A.R. can backfire on you also. Currently, John McCain is what the mainstream media is calling the Republican Presidential frontrunner. They’ve been hammering away at that since before Iowa. They’ve tossed out all these polls which tout McCain as the only Republican capable of beating Hillary Clinton. Even McCain has an ad which states, “Mitt Romney would lose to Hillary by 16 points”. This, I suspect, is the set-up for a Hillary Clinton landslide election. I’ll explain how I got to this conclusion.

My first question about that is who says Hillary is going to beat Barack Obama to begin with? According to the Mainstream Media, Obama is a Rock Star that is whipping Hillary all over the country. Most are even endorsing him as the next Black President! So if Obama is being so highly touted as a formidable opponent, why are they all talking about no Republican can beat Hillary other than McCain?

That’s because they’ve already got some hidden strategy to dispose of Obama when the time comes. The “Clinton Machine” has a whole arsenal in their dirty tricks handbag and if Obama really begins to show a sign of legitimate separation, then they’ll, “Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!” all over him without mercy. This is something that was initiated back at the 2004 DNC convention when Obama came out of nowhere to become a “serious” Democrat presidential rock star candidate. And the Clintons smiled at that.

It is my belief that the Clinton machine recognized very early that someone with Obama’s inexperience could be smacked away like a fly. So they got their usual back room lackey’s working with the mainstream media to perpetuate Obama for the last four years as the “arbiter of change”. Now that he’s fully blossomed it’s closing in on the time to snip the rose. So once Obama is dismissed what is the “Machine’s” next plan?

Enter the L.I.A.R., John McCain. McCain is a self-serving megalomaniac who has a closet full of more skeletons waiting to jump out than a New Orleans cemetery after Hurricane Katrina. There’s his poor ranking among his graduating class at Annapolis. His Poor flight school performances and the loss of five aircraft while in the Navy. Then there is his breach of the Uniform Code of Military Justice when he was in captivity and the accusations of his being a collaborator by other POWs, among other charges like the accusations about his 28 medals.

Or how about his divorce from his crippled ex-wife after an affair with a wealthy influential woman with whom he married? That’s just another one of his common conncections with John Kerry. Of course, there’s always his habitually damning temper and prevarications about his ever-changing political stances. Not to mention his Keating Five involvement and trips to the Caribbean.

Let us not forget his unusual “Stockholm Syndrome” behavior when meeting with his Vietnam captors and torturers while trying to normalize relations with their country. When asked about the “Ticking Bomb Threat”, he stated that, (paraphrase) “there is no way at any time and under any circumstance when torture should be used by America because it would lessen us in the eyes of the world”. That statement in itself would violate the Presidential Oath of Office. Because the Oath plainly states that the President will defend the Constitution (and its Preamble does call for the Common Defense). Thus, allowing thousands or millions of Americans to die just to save face with the world is a direct violation of the Oath of Office.

Finally, I personally think John McCain is mentally unbalanced and may be actually suffering from some form of latent megalomania. If pushed just hard enough I am sure he would actually explode into a tirade that would beat that of Jack Nicholson (as Col. Nathan R. Jessep) in “A Few Good Men”. That would be something to see…and hear.

As a matter of fact, I am a lifelong Republican and yet I will vote for Hillary if McCain wins the GOP. I write that because once Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid pretty much drives this country into a shambles the GOP would win back both houses within two years of her reign and leave her as a lame duck for the last two. I can only pray we don’t suffer another terrorist attack while they rule.

Better still, if McCain wins the nomination ALL Conservatives need to sit this one out and watch him take a fall, along with ALL of the other L.I.A.R.s who’ve sold their soul for a place in his “administration”. Then perhaps the other “politicians” in the party will understand that those Republicans who are not Conservative are no longer welcomed in the GOP.

Besides, if McCain were to become President I’d be scared to death about what he will do when pushed by some other country like Iran or North Korea. The guy scares me more than that lunatic Greg Stillson (Martin Sheen) in the Dead Zone. “You put your G-D hand on that scanning screen, or I’ll hack it off and put it on for you!”
