Black Friday always brings out the "best" in people
Long Island Wal-Mart worker trampled to death by shoppers. When people were told they had to leave because someone was dead, they whined that they had been in line for over a day and kept shopping. A pregnant woman was also injured, but there seems to be conflicting reports about her and...

What have we learned - Week 11
Jesus H. A tie? A freakin' tie? A GODDAMNED FUCKING TIE??????? Christ on a crutch.Meanwhile, Penn State thumped Indiana, and for much of the game, the announcers kept talking about how good the Hoosiers were playing. I guess. It was 10-7, PSU, at the half, and it ended 34-7. But Indiana never had...

A few fun links while I'm still stewing about this weekend's football
I'll probably have something about football, but I'm just so grumpy about it. Until then, here's some fun links!"Pornographic" snowboards? Why not? Okay, they're not really pornographic, but that doesn't mean uptight people can't call them that! Here's the original news story. Silly but...

We could kind of see this coming
It's depressing whenever a large number of Americans, whatever the stereotype about them, live up to that stereotype. It's depressing and frightening when those stereotypes are of racist rednecks, but after our historic presidential election, it's not surprising that a lot of crazy people are...

Jews vs. Mormons!
Man, that would be a cool video game!So this news story bugged me. Holocaust survivors are trying to stop the Mormon church from "baptizing" Jews killed in Nazi concentration camp posthumously. If you're wondering WTF?, well, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints baptizes people who...

What have we learned - Week 10
What a crappy weekend. After some amazing karma recently around teams I root for, this weekend it all came crashing down. But I will soldier on!What can we say about Penn State? They controlled the ball for 23 minutes in the first half against Iowa but could only get 13 points. I wanted them to...

Wrong on so many levels
Go here and watch the (relatively safe for work) video of a German teacher (though teaching in Hungary) ... stripping in front of her students. So very, very wrong. What in the hell is wrong with some people?

There's an election in New Zealand!
And the Maoris hold the key! The Maori party holds only four seats in Parliament, but they weren't aligned as of the election, so they could tip the balance!!!! Oh, if only I could send you somewhere where you could get up-to-the-minute New Zealand election coverage!!!!

More election fallout
Let the teeth-gnashing begin!Hey, remember back in 2004, when conservative pundits claimed that Bush had a "mandate" to do whatever the hell he wanted because he won 51% of the vote and beat John "I Was a Teenaged Wooden Statue" Kerry by 3.5 million votes? Well, professional douchebag Robert...

Post-Election Day thoughts
I don't know if Barack Obama will be a good president. Those who rail about his lack of experience ignore that this job is unique, and some people rise to the occasion and others don't. Theodore Roosevelt didn't have a lot of experience. Abraham Lincoln didn't have a lot of experience. Woodrow...
