    Isn’t this the game of the teams who left their original towns in the middle of the night? It’s kind of like picking a lesser evil. But I’ll go with Peyton only because he’s more doable. Plus I love the Louisiana accent.

    whose name is on the local children’s hospital thanks to a several million dollar donation from Peyton.

    I could not possibly care less about that, sorry. It can go right next to the several million dollar donation for George Bush. I would root for Jabba the Hutt before I would root for Peyton Manning.

    Not to mention his endorsement means nothing because it can evidently be bought for five bucks.

    Waiting for the premiere of Dr. Who season 4 on my local PBS station, at 7:15 CST I clicked to CBSin Houston to check the game. The announcer audio feed is gone. I can hear only crowd and field noise. This is fantastic. It’s 7:45 and I am really enjoying this fuck up. If it stays this way, I may not switch over.

    Best Letter to the Editor of the Week
    Posted by Karen Tumulty
    “From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

    Dear Pat Robertson,

    I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I’m all over that action. But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I’m no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished. Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth — glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven’t you seen “Crossroads”? Or “Damn Yankees”? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there’d be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox — that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it — I’m just saying: Not how I roll. You’re doing great work, Pat, and I don’t want to clip your wings — just, come on, you’re making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That’s working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

    Best, Satan “

    So, they have no heart (AEB their blowing off their chance to go undefeated), their quarterback is slimy, and their history is filled with deceit and pain.

    There really is nothing to recommend this team. At all.

    Weird! As I said in the other thread, this Bengals fan has no problem rooting against the Ravens. And yes, I do feel a tug of allegiance toward the AFC North, and honestly, I would (and have!) root for the Steelers in this sitch.

    Fuck the motherfucking Sioux. Hey, assholes, if you don’t like losing so much, keep us from scoring three goals in two minutes. If you give up a bunch of goals, and then start throwing elbows and high sticks, it just makes you sore losers. Then again, your coach played the same way when he was at North Dakota, so it doesn’t surprise me. We beat his ass a lot back then, so he got a lot of practice.

By the time we’re done, 29 of 36 games will have been against teams that have a winning record right now. The only exceptions are 4 w/ Anchorage, 2 w/ Tech, and Bowling Green.

    Oh and the road to the Super Bowl always ran thru Pittsburgh back-in-the-day, and the Still Curtain used to thump pretty regular on poor Burt Jones during the playoffs, dashing all hope for us BMorans. Which would explain my hate of the Steelers too.

    I have cod every other week. Usually alternating with halibut or some other white fish, and salmon once a week too. This week I had both cod and halibut (and salmon), just because I was tempted by the cookbook.

    This has been the biggest change in my life since moving to the Pac NW. I had a good excuse for not eating as much seafood when in lived in lesser climes. It’s just not as good almost everywhere else. Cod, salmon, halibut, monkfish, sea bass, throw me fish!

    Two Scenarios “Coakley wins, HCR passes, things continue to generally suck, Democrat’s depressed mood deepens, tea party boils, GOP wins blow out in 2010.”
    ” Coakley loses, HCR goes down to defeat, Democrats rise in fury, tea party fails to offer credible alternative, a finally furious Obama is handed the best foil since Dewey didn’t beat Truman, Democrats pick up three Senate seats in 2010, HCR passes with robust public option and Medicare buy-in, polar bears saved. ”

    Sullivan actually posted this reader email. Head meet desk. We might as well let the republicans take back the majority. Then the democratic base will really get fired up and get a super majority and pass health care…wait.

  142. 142.

    mr. whipple

    Third scenario: Coakley loses, progressives rejoice when HCR goes down because this is a good thing.

    Progressives continue using RW frames and pout, Democrats get creamed in 2010. Progressives say this is a good thing.

    Obama and dems go down in 2012, progressives say this is a good thing. Half of remaining blue dogs switch to GOP, progressives say this is a good thing.

    HA!

    Dr. Dobson will finish hosting his daily radio show for Focus in February. It now has 1.5 million listeners a day on about 1,000 stations. He has been gradually withdrawing from the leadership of Focus since 2003, but it is unclear why he decided to start a new organization and create a new show — “to be called ‘James Dobson on the Family.’ ”
    …
    He said in his announcement that he wanted to “hand the reins of Focus to gifted successors.” (Both he and his son declined requests for interviews.)
    …
    The real reason for Dr. Dobson’s new venture may have been his son. A Focus board member who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that because Ryan Dobson has been divorced, it would be against the board’s policy for him to serve as the voice for Focus, which counsels people on marriage and child-rearing. (Ryan Dobson has since remarried and has a son of his own.)

    Creating an organization so bigoted that they turn around and won’t accept your own son, and so you decide to leave–that’s pretty funny.

    Matthew 18:

    [21] Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
    [22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

    Jesus, you fuckin liberal. No forgiveness!

    Beginning in March, Dr. Dobson, 73, will co-host the radio show with his son, Ryan, 39, a tattooed surfer and skateboarder who wrote a book called “Be Intolerant” and who has honed an identity preaching to youths.

    Ryan Dobson: Be Intolerant!

    @asiangrrlMN: I’d say you’d blend in more in the Seattle area but there really isn’t a large Chinese/Taiwanese population. It’s why great Japanese and Korean places but Chinese not so much. Only exception is Wild Ginger, but that’ll take half your bank account.

    @Yutsano: Yeah. Funny thing, though, even in Taiwan, I did not blend in. I was too big, fat, and not trendy enough. Plus, the tattoos, don’t you know. And, I don’t talk or act like I’m twelve. Plus, I have boobies!

    SF and NYC are the two places I really feel like I can blend in.

    JUBLEYS?? :) I seem to recall you asking for a definition for that word.

    I’m sure you made quite a sight going back home. At least your brother seems to be okay with you. My younger brothers and I get along fine, my older brother however…

    @asiangrrlMN: I saw the picture of him on the Flickr feed, yeah he does kinda scream Microsoft geek to me. You just got all the creativity in the family. I’m kinda like that, only one of my brothers with a B.A., only one who’s worth a damn as a musician, only one willing to try new foods and cuisines, only one who likes to travel. The list goes on.

    @Yutsano: It’s funny, isn’t it? Actually, since my bro took most of the pics, he got that creative gene. And, he likes all kinds of food and travel. However, he is a techie and a geek at heart, and a Christian–as is my whole family on my mom’s side. I am definitely the freak and the black sheep of the family.

    @asiangrrlMN: Baa. :)

    I more or less have to convince my parents constantly that I’m happy with my life. Though honestly it would kill my father to hear I’m mixed up with a Marine, him being the career Navy man he was.

    Anyone else notice the intellectual consistency in bashing the Colts for something the dead-as-Franco owner did thirty years ago – on a blog that used to pimp George W. Bush?

    (And yes, the current owner of the Colts is at least as contrite about what his father did to Baltimore as John is about his past support for the worst president ever.)

    @baldheadeddork:

    Cole is probably more contrite than whatever you’re babbling about. John gets redfaced whenever his archives come up. That is the price of intellectual honesty. The courage to admit that you were wrong in the face of a more reasoned, fact-based, and integritous argument.

    ETA: not sure if you caught the subtext, but Fuck You, you stupid gotcha troll, and may you DIAF after being involuntarily sodomized by escaped felons.

    Tudo bem, obrigado. Still in lisbon. One more week then two days in both Amsterdam and Singapore. Recovering from the tummy bug from hell. Urgh. Have a friend here from London with her one year old. An adorable ranga.

    How you?
