As readers know, I like telling you about free stuff.  But to me, while this one costs no out-of-pocket money, it isn’t really free.

Denny’s Free Grand Slam Breakfast

If you watched yesterday’s Super Bowl, you no doubt saw the cheesy Denny’s commercial advertising its free Grand Slam breakfast, tomorrow from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  I wrote about this, last  year, when the restaurant chain held the same promotion.

We already know what happens when Muslim employees cheer the 9/11 attacks at a Ford Motor Company plant.  They get to keep their jobs for three years.  We already know what happens when Muslim students at a Dearbornistan high school wear sweatshirts memorializing their own frequent praise of the 9/11 attacks.  Their America-hating parents hold an indignant meeting with school officials defending their America-hating kids.

Teacher Nicholas Kafouris Experiences the Joys of Islamic Tolerance and Moderation

And, so, it would be no surprise if what happened to Nicholas Kafouris in Great Britain happened here.  In fact, similar things have already happened and will continue to, since we’ve done nothing to stop Islamic immigration into America, and everything to encourage it.  Whenever you hear Muslims lecture about “tolerance,” this is what they want us to tolerate.  Well past time to stop tolerating it.

A Christian teacher told today how he lost his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as ‘heroes’.

Remember all the FBI warnings we got that Al-Qaeda was planning attacks on America using aquatic tactics and scuba training?  Remember the Goose Creek terrorists, University of South Florida students Youssef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, both of whom had ties to Islamic Jihad terrorist group founder and frontman, Sami Al-Arian?  A little reported fact (which I reported on this site) is that they had scuba gear and oxygen tanks in their car, when they were caught by a South Carolina Sheriff’s deputy, and it’s believed they planned to carry out some sort of attack in New York.  They took scuba diving training. Islamic terrorists have frequently used the waters surrounding Israel for attacks, as a means to sneak into the country, and as a way to send bombs onto the beach as recently as last week.

The Lesbionic Woman Cuts Border Patrol, Coastal Security

(Lesbionic Woman by David Lunde/Lundesigns)

And, now, Department of Homeland Security chief, Janet Napolitano a/k/a “The Lesbionic Woman,” at the direction of Barack Obama, made it that much easier for terrorists to carry out such ocean-based attacks, eliminating several elite Coast Guard Maritime Security and Safety Teams (MSST).  She also wants to reduce the Border Patrol and decline finishing the “virtual” and physical fences at the border, so our southern border is also extending the welcome mat to Islamic terrorists.  It’s amazing that with $56.3 billion, this wasteful government agency cannot afford to expand the border patrol, nor protect us from water-based attacks.

Check out the details of the DHS penny-wise, pound-foolish new budget:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says her department’s $56.3 billion budget for next year, up 2% over this year, enhances security “across the board.” . . .

If Congress approves Obama’s proposals:

• The Border Patrol, which doubled to 20,000 agents during the Bush administration, would lose 180 agents through attrition. Border staffing would stay the same.

. . . Does Audi know this is what we fear . . . and that a “green car” isn’t the panacea?  It’s part of the problem. Gotta love the tribute to Cheap Trick’s “Dream Police.” Watch more Green Police video here. And note that the green crowd loves this.  That’s what scares me. To them, it ain’t no joke. It’s the future.  Green has never felt so wrong.

You picked the wrong day to mess with the eco-system, Plastic Boy.

****  SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE  ****

Muslims murdered 3,000 Americans on 9/11 and have repeatedly tried to do it again, not just with the shoe- and undie-bombers.  And we–the non-Muslim law-abiding citizens–pay the price with more and more hassle and useless “security theater.”

But not Muslims.  They think they can wantonly cause disturbances on flights and speed through security unharmed.  They’re doing this to test the system and conduct dry runs. That’s plain as day. And just watch–I bet this guy gets off with merely a slap on the wrist, unlike what would be the case with you or me.  Some observers said he had what looked like wires or a bomb under his clothes, as he completely cut through security at Detroit Metro Airport.

Security officers stopped passengers from entering the McNamara Terminal at Metro Airport this morning after an Arabic man refused to stop when questioned during the screening process, according to police.

****  UPDATE:  New Orleans beat Indianapolis 31-17 in what was one of the most boring, uneventful Super Bowls I can remember.  Yaaawn.  Waste of time, in my book.  Not an exciting game, this year.  Ditto for the ads, which were ho hum, including the dull Tim Tebow ad, which did not live up to my expectations, and certainly wasn’t what the feminists were bitching and moaning about.   What do you think about the game and the ads?  Weigh in, below.  ****

I don’t really care who wins tonight’s Superbowl, but if I had a gun to my head, I’d probably pick the New Orleans Saints against the Indianapolis Colts because I like quarterback Drew Brees.  Nothing against Peyton Manning, who seems like a gentleman and for whom I’ve cheered in a past Superbowl, but he had his chance already recently in Super Bowl XLI (2007), in which he led the Colts to victory and was the Supe MVP.

So, who do you want to win tonight’s big game, and why?  Who will win the big show, and why?

As you know, most people don’t watch tonight’s Super Bowl for the action on the field.  They watch for the ads.  Last year’s ads were mostly unmemorable and unremarkable.

Below is an ad which was an absolute utter failure and only ran once–during the Superbowl.  Holiday Inn realized that this wasn’t exactly the best way to market that they’ve spent millions to, um, “surgically” change the look of the hotel.  And everyone remembered the ad, the next morning, but not the sponsor of it and the product being, uh, “pimped.”

What’s your fave Supe ad, and why? Feel free to post a link to yours. And in the meantime, here are some previews of ads airing during tonight’s Big Game, which I like, with my brief commentary:

Gatorade: Uh-oh, they show Christian football players praying and players with their hands on their hearts during the National Anthem. Religion and patriotism–we can’t have that. The nerve . . .

The best commentary I’ve read in defense of the Tim Tebow Focus on the Family Superbowl ad airing during tonight’s Big Game, is from Michael Hiestand, USA Today’s Sports on TV columnist.  An excerpt:

Tim Tebow & Mom, Stars of Supe Ad

After relentless ads on TV football for erectile dysfunction treatments we’ve already passed the point where we can assume Super Bowl ads will be G-rated. . . .

As in years past, I guess I’ll have to use the word “Supe” instead of “Superbowl,” lest the NFL send its private cadre of  ICE agent speech police my way for violating its trademark to the word.

And on that note, I think it’s no strange coincidence that Warren Sapp was pulled from today’s NFL Network coverage of the Supe, after being arrested for allegedly domestically assaulting whatever bim he brought with him to his Miami hotel room.  Sapp has always been a thug, both on AND off the field.  And that’s, sadly, the problem with far too many NFLers and has been for some time.  You take people off the killing fields of America (and that means some White players, too, like Ryan Tucker, so please spare me the “you’re racist” comments), and then you expect that with a ton of money and nice XXL Armani suits, they’ll be civil.  Not how it works.

This thuggishness and violence is a not a first for Sapp.  And I had my own “experience” seeing Sapp’s rude and violent side (more on that later).  He inspired new NFL rules against “unnecessary roughness” after he deliberately blindsided Chad Clifton of the Green Bay Packers and sent him to the hospital, when Clifton was not in the main action and was merely jogging down the side of the field.  During Sapp’s NFL career he deliberately bumped two different referees on the field in two different games, one of them, after repeatedly swearing and gesturing at the ref.  And that’s in addition to several other altercations and disruptions at NFL games, including threatening to beat up then-Packers Coach Mike Sherman.  Sooner or later you knew this predilection for violence would spread off the field with this guy.  And I’m not just talking about at least four kids he fathered with three different women.

You’ve no doubt heard the news from earlier in the week that Northwest Flight 253 Islamic terrorist and undiebomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is now talking to the feds at the urging of his parents, whom FBI agents traveled to see in Nigeria.  Reportedly, agents prompted the parents to nudge their son into spilling, lest he get the death penalty (a potential sentence he faces, but I doubt would get).

Yesterday, as I was reading an article on Pops Mutallab, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab in the Wall Street Journal, I couldn’t help but notice the uncanny resemblance of a pic Abdulmutallab’s dad, from the late ’80s, to a certain African leader we knew and loved from the late ’80s. I’m thinking maybe they were the same guy, twenty years apart, since James Earl Jones is much older.

Separated at Birth?

Pops Mutallab, 1987; King of Zamunda, 1988

Got a feeling that James Earl Jones will play Pops Mutallab in the movie. . . .

Luke, er . . . Farouk, I am your father.  Come on over to the light side.
