The NFL and Me

On my way to partake in the opulence that is the NFL Experience. Good, clean, wholesome fun for the whole family.

BC Affairs

For those of you who are BC fans (and I assume that includes the majority of college sports fans), it appears as though Jack Bicknell is leaving BC. Good bye and good riddance zone blocking scheme. http://www.boston.com/sports/colleges/extras/colleges_blog/ However, on a positive note, it appears as though BC has secured the commitment from Mr. Football in the state of Kentucky-RB Rolandan Finch. http://bostoncollege.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1&pr_key=79005

It can't all be roses.

This is a shout-out.

Cry Me a River

How absolutely petty can you get? Maybe he shouldn't have left such a giant mess of the thing . . . Just sayin'.

My Adoring Fans

I am being criticized for including too many links in my posts. Just thought you should know.

Un-friggin'-believable

The cohones on these people is absolutely astounding. TARP funds used to pay billions of dollars in bonuses . . . http://www.ft.com/cms/s/378a38d4-e814-11dd-b2a5-0000779fd2ac,Authorised=false.html?_i_location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcms%2Fs%2F0%2F378a38d4-e814-11dd-b2a5-0000779fd2ac.html%3Fnclick_check%3D1&_i_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailykos.com%2Fstoryonly%2F2009%2F1%2F22%2F111056%2F805%2F957%2F687570&nclick_check=1

History is Written by the Victors, or Something . . .

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/ExecutiveOrderPresidentialRecords/. It's refreshing-like a cold beer on a hot Christmas morning. Remember when Presidnt Bush said that his legacy would unfold years from now after the full picture is revealed to the unwashed massed? Yeah, well, now we get access to the whole story.

Fair and/or Balanced

When in doubt, make it up. http://mediamatters.org/items/200901220006?
Doubtful that Mr. Colmes would have called him on it, but when the blind lead the blind, doesn't everyone get lost?

I could If I wanted to . . .

I think that if a I tried to, I could write a John Grisham-quality book. 1/4 mystery, 1/4 extraneous plot development, 1/2 character soul-searching. And, of course, my protagonist would be WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

Deep Thought

Why, according to Fox News, do "people" have a problem with the Guantanamo detainees being moved to a super-max prison in their state? Or, for most of the US population, someone else's state? http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/01/22/youdecide_gitmo_terrorists/
Maybe it's because Fox is asking people whether they would "want Terrorists In [their] Back Yard?" Are they going to be given pop tents and made to camp out in my actual backyard (which I don't have b/c I live in an apt.)? These people aren't going to be able to get out, right? C'mon, it's supermax. It's all in how you ask the question? Let me give it a try: "Would You Want Terrorists housed in sunny, year-round 70 degree weather, or 27 degree average winter temperature?"http://www.usacitiesonline.com/kscountyleavenworth.htm#climate. Remember, if we coddle them, the terrorists win.
