Obama’s Preacher Wright goes to show that “preacher” doesn’t necessarily mean preaching the gospel, you know that part about Loving One Another?
Nobody wants Barry Bonds. Hooray!
Florida fucks up another election, and they were barred from participating in the primaries for , you guessed it, fucking up. Hillary wants the votes counted there and in Michigan even though the competition wasn’t on the ballot. Hmmmmm, that’s one way to pull a win out of your ass.
Joe Liberman whispering sweet nothings and correcting McCain on a little Foreign Policy. Very Vice Presidential. Yeah, 4 more years of this indepth foreign policy is just what we need.
4000 of the good guys dead in Iraq. Thats enough. Bring them home. We’re bankrupting this country in to sub super power status and the Republican leadership wants to dump billions of dollars more that we don’t have into that quagmire. The surest way to get domestic Iraqi forces ready to handle that mes is to throw em in the fire.
Right to bear arms in Washington DC is threatened. Gosh, if theres ever a place where the citizens should have guns it’s DC. You just can’t say the hell with the constitution. As it’s presently worded we are allowed to have guns. However, it is my guess that the intent was to have a well armed militia (like the ones who fought the British in the American Revolution) made up of farmers, business men, private citizens who were ready to fight in a minute. Since that’s no longer how we assemble an armed force, the 2nd Amendment needs a little re-working or, leave as is and we all keep our guns. I’ve said it before, the US Constitution is the best in the world but it was written for its time (1700’s).

Being neither a Patriots nor a Giants fan, it was great to watch a Super Bowl with total impartiality. It was the best I’ve ever watched even when the Cowboys won several in the 90’s. I honestly went into that game thinking it would be nice to see history made with a perfect season, but on the other hand, I like the Manning boys and usually pull for the underdog. In the end, I jumped way out of my seat when the Giants scored the winning TD with under a minute left which was a far more demonstrative move than the nod of approval I had just given to Brady and the Pats for scoring the go-ahead TD just minutes before.
My guess is that all the trash talking Patriots fans are now rushing to their sports blog settings this morning to change their user names from something referring to 19-0 or Perfect Pats user names to something with a little more Humility. I lost some respect for Brady for scurrying off the field before patting Ely Manning on the back. Fox sports made a point to show before the game that Ely was having fun and gave Brady a good luck nudge. Brady was less enthusiastic to return the well wishes. Maybe playboy QB’s need to leave their supermodel/actress/singer girlfriends at home. Speaking of which, Gisele owes a streak through Manhattan.

U of A takes the phrase “Blowing your Nutt” to new levels.
Help please! The closest thing to a national football championship in Arkansas was a 1965 Cotton Bowl victory against Nebraska when the players still wore leather helmets (sort of) and Nixon was around. Things were as screwed up then as the BCS is now and sportswriters twisted that win up enough to convince all the folks here in Arkansas that they had actually won a national championship. Just because the Razorbacks are among the bottom feeders in the best football conference in America doesn’t mean they absorb football tradition, talent and become a magnet for major recruits. We have actually had morons on sports radio here reason that since Arkansas beat LSU, that they should be considered for a higher National rating better than 46th behind Appalachian State, who was able to do something Arkansas has never done in football, beat Michigan.
How about this as a great summary of how things are here: “Arkansas is a complete tragedy. Arkansas can’t do anything right. Arkansas couldn’t even fire the intensely fireable Houston Nutt, who bumbled around for years — losing winnable games and alienating blindly loyal fans — and still was begged to stay.
This is how bad Arkansas football has become: Houston Nutt took a paycut to leave … for Ole Miss.”

This being my token college football post is not meant to inflame the people here who have blind devotion to a less than mediocre sports program, but to simply state a fact: Arkansas is NOT a college sports powerhouse. They do however have a great agri department.

Gosh, the big news today, Britney’s sister: this just solidifies the fact that this family is trash with one big exception, they have television shows and cd’s to give folks the impression they’ve got their shit together. And that television show is geared to kids. Remember Vanessa Hudgens? Who’s next Miley/Hanna? What happened to the good old days when trashy folks knew their place and stayed there.
We put way too much stock in what celebrity’s and athletes do these days and completely ignore the fact that there are thousands of folks in this country that have 100 times more character and do 100 times more good for unselfish reasons that most or all of the celebrity’s and athletes in the world and all those genuine do-gooders go unnoticed in their actions. Our kids believe what they see and what they’re seeing right now from their TV “role-models” is that wise judgement and discretion is passe. If you don’t believe that, then I’d be willing to bet that this 16 year old mother to be’s website will be flooded with words of support from her fans and maybe even a parent or two who will throw out a few “God bless you’s” and offer advice on mothering to a girl who would probably argue with her own mother over use of makeup if she came from a “normal” family.
We parents better take control now, learn to say no and get a grip on what our kids are allowing to influence them.
