College Bowl Pickem Results
— Dave in Texas

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you, your new MERCURY ASTRONAUTS!

1 Cheese-eating surrender monkey 26 of 35 490
2 j.row. 21 of 35 470
3 dawgyear 22 of 35 444
4 drstanly1 22 of 35 439
5 Crunkadelic 23 of 35 438

Games correct out of possible, points.

Yours truly, who never even went to the moon (see Capricorn One.. GOOGLE IT) got 256 points, which is like an exponent of 2. I did that all just with my Alabama pick. There was some kind of "ass kicking" weighting factor applied.

Lest I leave anybody out.

54 Good news -- it has become known that hidden deep within the massive 2800-page bill called Obamacare there is a Senate Amendment protecting the right to keep and bear arms. It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c. According to reports, that amendment says the government cannot collect "any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition." CNN is calling it "a gift to the nation's powerful gun lobby." And according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), that's exactly right. He says he added the provision in order to keep the NRA from getting involved in the legislative fight over Obamacare, which was so ubiquitous in 2010. ________________ Wow--I thought that was a joke. I have been wondering about Harry. He put a 15 million dollar gun range in Nevada.... 10.

99 from Director Blue:

"...test-taking fraud is merely the tip of a much larger iceberg. It highlights the educational fraud being perpetrated on blacks during their K-12 education. Four or five years of college Â— even majoring in education, an undemanding subject Â— cannot make up for those 13 years of rotten education. Then theyÂ’re given a college degree that is fraudulent, seeing as some have difficulty passing a test that shouldnÂ’t be challenging to even a 12th-grader. HereÂ’s my question: If they manage to get through the mockery of teacher certification, at what schools do you think they will teach?" -- Walter Williams

No he is not. He is perfectly in sync, the others just are not telling the truth

On the Redskins name, as an alum of UND and a Fighting Sioux, I think our logo was respectful. The worst is the banana nosed leering Cleveland Indian logo. But honestly, Redskins is an awful name. But fuck the PC police anyway. Buy the team and change the name, otherwise shut up. As a side note how does Hanoi-Jane reconcile the years she sat in the stands tomahawk chopping with the putrid Ted Turner cheering on his Atlanta Braves? Was that PC approved? What a hypocrit.

--You went to UND? Cool! The charter of the school actually mandated a relationship with the Lakota Sioux, and the tribe itself opposes the name change. (FSU has an even stronger reltionship with the Seminole Nation; Osceola's costume is made by the Seminoles.) It's rarely actual American Indians who are pushing these name changes (and logo changes in the case of William and Mary's innocuous former one), but guilty white liberals and lawyers with no real business on their hands.

As a side note, it's pretty awesome that the humble state of ND has powerhouses in ice hockey (UND) and 1-AA football (NDSU).

When did Alabama officially change their name from "Elephants" to "Crimson Tide?

The moniker "Crimson Tide" was bestowed upon the team around WWII by a sportswriter who noted that their defense just came at you (you being the quarterback) like the relentless waves of the ocean.

And I sorta agree with your take on the culture. Currently, it's the only major sports team in town (we do have a minor league hocky team).

thus contra to what our media/political genius class thinks if i convert a BP .36 to modern .38 sp in the cylinder I will need to sleeve the bore to .357.....

A couple of days go by and the odor keeps getting worse. One more day and I could almost tell where it was coming from: his closet where he kept his laundry basket.

My mom found some chew in my room, thought it was weed. (it was in a baggie for some reason)

No, Mom, I say helpfully, weed is more greenish.

277 Not checked Sven but did anyone mention in Ace's post on upper class twits being incurious to learn things, the term mandarin was mentioned. Did anyone mention that David Weber uses that term to describing the unelected bureaucrats who run the Solarian League in the Honorverse.

Posted by: Anna Puma (+SmuD) at January 09, 2013 10:04 PM (AgRBF)

Here in Canada, "Mandarin" is commonly used to describe the upper echelons of the Federal Civil Service, who wield immense power, since they usually know much more about the operations of their department than the poor schlubs picked to be Cabinet Ministers.

Any Canadian who is the least bit politically aware knows this usage. It might come from Britain, but I don't know for sure.

278 Well, couldn't find curtains, and I see this thread is still up.

That trillion dollar coin idea is just embarrassing. When I told my daughter, she started laughing and said that she thinks they are insane.

Yes, give that coin to China and see what they say.

Good grief.

My mom was watching the Mike Douglas show and some segment on having meaningful talks with your teens. So when I get home from high school she asks me to sit down to talk and asked if I had ever "experimented" with marijuana. She tells me to tell the truth and she won't be mad. Idiot that I was I told her yes. I got smacked. So much for meaningful.

Yes, she was fighting Irish.
