The Steelers got hammered, which was depressing. At any rate, I am sorta swamped and will not be able to post until later. Consider this an open thread.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.
Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.
They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
This blog will pay for itself.
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll
Let there be snark.
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius
Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
This really is a full service blog.
Second rate reporter says what?
Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
Bark louder, little dog.

Sorry about the Steelers.
Oh yeah.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hahahahaha ….
Seriously, though, the Colts are going to be unstoppable this year. The only thing that might make them lose is if they decide not to play top players after they’ve sewn up home-field advantage.

There is a remarkable article in the latest issue of the american Jewish weekly, Forward. It calls for President Bush to be impeached and put on trial “for misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 BC sent his legions into Germany and lost them.”
To describe Iraq as the most foolish war of the last 2,014 is a sweeping statement, but the writer is well qualified to know.
He is Martin van Crevald, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and one of the world’s foremost military historians. Several of his books have influenced modern military theory and he is the only non-American author on the US Army’s list of required reading for officers.

Paddy O’Shea: What did Martin van Crevald say about Bill Cowher trying an onside kick opening the second half? Maybe this van Crevald guy wasn’t such a fucking genius after all.
Paddy O'Shea
He is quoted as saying Coach Cowher was hammered.

Steelers got beat, ok. But what is with that pansy-assed call for tackling the guy. They ought to put skirts on those guys.

While I comisserate with your loss against the colts, I think think the colts are pretty unstoppable this season. My beloved chargers will have to deal with them soon enough.
Paddy… Would you recommend a book of his or are they all exceptional?

Luke: I have no idea. I just picked the article off of Google this morning. Not much of a reaction here, but I saw serious action on some of the other sites I posted it.
I ordered “The Transforamtion Of War” from Amazon today. While it originally came out in 1991, it seems pretty relevant to what we’re seeing in Iraq. At least according to the reviews.
