American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated
Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Ah, but there are no tears. A worthy team won the Championship and I tip my hat to them. The problem are all these lying losers from loser teams – hi Steely! – who lost weeks ago and are left with nothing but their lies.

What on earth are you talking about? What have I lied about?

Hmm. . . Those are some tasty tears.

John if you’re too busy grading papers to read the two threads adjacent to this then send a PhD student over. Isn’t that why God invented PhD Candidates?

I see you lashing out at other people, but what the hell does this have to do with me- I am the one you are referencing with Steely McBeam and losing in the first week of the playoffs. What have I lied about?

SPTGM sez: Shut up! Just shut up and leave the Patriots alone you stupid doody heads! [Swigs from bottles, passes out.]
I feel sorry for the Pats as a team. However, some of their fans need to sit in the time out corner and perhaps go to bed without din-dins until they calm down.

I’m really starting to enjoy this schadenfreude thing. Wingnuts in despair, Brady on the ground. Sweet.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
WTF is there to feel sorry about? They won EIGHTEEN straight games?
What, because you win 18 in a row, you HAVE to win the next one or it doesn’t count? LAME. I spend most of the time wishing the Rangers were going better than 0.50

The tears are really bad at NRO. Seems one of the Romneybots made a bet and now will vote for McClown.

Mother of god, the Patriots have been up and they’ve been down, but that game was perhaps the worst football game I have seen them play all season. I don’t know if they were all just beaten up after 18 previous victories, whether the Giants Defense had their number, or whether Tom Brady secretly likes to sabotage his own carrier, but that was a record-setting game if only when quantified by suckiness.
All that said, HOUSE was entertaining, so I can’t really complain.
Sensitive Pony Tailed Girly Man
You’ve got the swigging and passing out parts down cold. The shutup part too. It’s the part in the middle that you’re still missing. I’m not even saying leave Belichick alone. I’m saying use the plentiful factual material already at your disposal. The spin being placed on last nights end game is bogus.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
There’s spin on the end game? You mean the Giants didn’t win the debate? Did they come out even?
I guess I’ll have to wait until the National Football Convention and let the delegates slug it out.

That link had nothing about Obama in it.
You now owe me one transcendental link on Obama. Preferably with extra Hope, if you can.

I wonder if Obama will remember to vote for himself, seeing as he only actually votes about 70% of the time on Senate issues.
Jake
Congrats on reading way too fucking much into a few words. They’re a sports team and as anyone who has ever engaged in a competitive sport can tell you: You. Want. To. Win. Not just once or twice, but all the time. And the more you win, the worse that sledge hammer to the nads feeling is when you don’t win.
Does this mean that you’ll always win? Nope. Does crushing the other teams 100 times mean you won’t get your ass on a platter on the 101st? Nope. But losing still sucks for the loser.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
The actual number is 84%. Take a guess why the number went down.
It would appear Obama misses votes frequently when he’s not up against a campaign veteran with a calvary that would make most Presidents rub themselves off.
Fucking. Duh.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
I think I’ll say the same to you, as well. You’re taking offense in a discussion over sports.
I’m saying that was an awesome season for the Pats. They’re winners. Just the ZOMG TEH BEST winners. No more complaining.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
I suck at editing.

You also suck at logic, since the other senators running for president manage to do their jobs and campaign at the same time. I suppose Illinois doesn’t really need representation in government, though.

And no I’ve not been totally swept up in Obamisteria.
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
OK, kiddo, you keep up with the ad hominems while you learn how to read a legend.
That bottom dotted line? That’s the “median”.
Look at Hill’s chart, now look at Obama’s chart. Both very similar, and they both spend most of their time under the median, because they both obviously like their careers.
Take a guess why — despite the similar patterns — Obama has a higher no-vote rate? Because Obama’s been a senator for less time.
(1 election) / (Less potential votes) = higher spike in no-votes
Who sucks at logic?
/Certainly not the computer scientist. noooooo.
p.a.
As a Pats fan for 35 years I’ve been down so long looks like down to me- until recently. Several of us feel that everything after 2001 is gravy, and we’ll take the bad with the good. They got beat by a better team. Can’t whine about that. If I were in Vegas I would have bet the Gints to cover.
Nothing against the Patriot players, but even here in New England Belichick’s classless act is wearing thin. And all the good breaks Brady had in the Super Bowl victory years are evening out now; he’s really had some clunkers the last 3 playoff years. Still, I would not have complained if the refs had given us the game like they did for the Steelers 2 years ago. (yes JC, a dig).

Speaking of tears. Guess who did it again?

That statement is demonstrably false.
It may shock you, but actively campaigning senators tend to miss a lot of votes. The idea that Obama and only Obama is missing votes is yet another myth. The missed vote spread in Q42007 between Obama (the worst) and Biden (the best) is 8 votes. Unless you can show Obama missed critical votes (i.e. where he could have changed the outcome) that Biden didn’t, I’d consider this a non-issue.
Really, the only thing you can knock Obama for is starting his campaigning earlier.

Do we still have myiq on suicide watch?
Caidence (fmr. Chris)
Last I heard, he was refuting the new polls on Obama because they were Zogby.
Haven’t heard anything from him on CNN’s latest.
I hope Super Tuesday is quick and painless for him, if it goes down for Obama. Nobody should have to suffer like that.

When the “next one” is the winner-take-all Super Bowl? Yes. I’m glad they won 18 games and beat Miami’s record, but didn’t get the trophy the whole season is played for. As a Buffalo Bills fan, the only team I hate more than New England is Miami and the schadenfreude is almost too much on this Monday morning.
wingnuts to iraq
nevermind mccain has missed more votes than Obama.
Because McCain was too busy angling to use his POW time as a campaign slogan.
I heard McCain surrendered on purpose to the Commies so he could get POW on his record.

At BJ, football is reduced to fan farting contests. And of course, specifically, whether a Steelers fan “cares” about a game that the Steelers aren’t playing in. After all, it’s only Super if Jerome Gets His Wings … er, rings.
It’s never about the game, it’s always about how the fans feel about the game.
The Super Bowl was a classic football game between two extremely good teams. Completely enjoyable, great football.
In ten years, nobody but the senile Dolphins will care who won.

combine this with the Lombardy “winning is the only thing” BS and you get a mindset that can produce the Iraq clusterfuck. soon amercian foreign policy will consist of all state department folks wearing giant “we’re #1” foam hands.

LOL. But that ship sailed a long time ago.
Bush’s foam hand says “Fuck You — We’re Number One”
Jake
Only if you pay attention to the fans. Bush and his ‘bots are the equivalent of Joey Beergut who thinks he’s a Packer because he paints his face green and yellow and alternately shouts WOooooOOOoOO [belch]! and YOU SUCK [belch]! from the stands.
The Iraq clusterfuck is what you get if the fans are allowed to call the plays.

Obama has an ad that has a woman who sounds a lot like Hillary, at least in my opinion. After listening to her voice for a few seconds, it is clear that it is not Hillary but the initial similarity is interesting.
The reason I say that it is interesting is that I have not seen the commercial yet. I have heard the ad a couple of times now, but I have been busy in another room of the house so I missed the visual aspect of the ad.
I am in my garage surfing the web, and they just ran the ad again on MSNBC (I can hear the TV in our downstairs area, I’m in the attached garage). I kind of listen to the drone of the news/commentary, and certain words catch my interest and I listen to what is being said. Otherwise it is just a background drone.
The first time I heard the ad, my first thought was ‘a Hillary ad. I wonder what she is going to say.’, so I focused in on what the ad was saying. I quickly realized that it was an Obama ad, and my next thought was ‘hmmm, could that be a deliberate decision by the ad writing team?’
After hearing this ad a few times, I am still thinking that it was a conscious decision to use a voice similar to Hillary. I have to admit that each time I heard it since, my first impression is that the beginning of the ad sure sounds like Hillary. It catches my attention right away, and I wonder if it does the same for anyone else who has seen it. I will try to find it on YouTube later.
Probably just my aging hearing though…lol

So tomorrow is the big day, super tuesday, when we’ll see if Hillary wraps up the nomination or not. I don’t expect Obama to win, but I don’t want it to be over. Make both of them work for it.
I plan on watching squirrel porn and TPM at the same time and also a picture of Bush in the corner. That should create the surreal environment I need.
