Speaking of football, I have a few predictions I'm willing to make.
Texas will defeat USC. For starters, if USC wins, they will be tied with the Tide for national championships, and fate just won't allow that, would make a mockery of everything that our great coach stood for.
LSU will lose to Miami. The local boy is out of the game, and their coach makes DiNardo look bright, look for Miami to eke out a decent victory.
Auburn will beat Wisconsin, much as it pains me to say it, the cow college is good, and Wisconsin is not of SEC caliber.
Alabama will defeat Texas Tech, because while it is a match of a premiere defense against a premiere offense, the fact is, Bama's offense is better than Tech's defense.
In the Sugar Bowl, look for Patrick White to lead West Virginia to an improbable victory over the Dawgs
Finally, Joe Paterno will wipe the floor with Bobby Bowden, who's team doesn't really deserve to be in it's bowl game.
If ya can't beat 'em, Tzu 'em. ;-)
NICE POST! What a great way to end the year. W is kicking their @ss, and they don't even know it - beautiful!
bttt
It is wise to remember the words of W and his generals.... "at a time and place of my choosing:.
Watching the investigation unfold is going to be a real historical lesson.
Thank you, John.
Excellent job. Love the analogies and Sun Tzu quotes. So very spot on. I hope you and yours have a safe, blessed and wonderful New Year's....
Just for info:
Most Americans pronounce it Sun Zoo; the correct pronunciation is closer to Soon Suh.
Semper Art of War Fi's
Enjoyed it tremendously. Happy New Year, Congressman.
You are probably going to be investigated for leaking classified information ; )
Good read.
I loooooooooooooove football.
Semper Fi
I'll raise you two ; )
Here's a link to a review of Sun Tzu was a Sissy by Stanley Bing. If you haven't read this book yet please do, it's hilarious.
While I agree with your statement, I'll be pulling for Wisconsin solely because of AUs attitude after the Iron Bowl...Tide is overrated, we're better, yaddayaddayadda. Not to mention the fact that my favorite team is Alabama and whoever is playing Auburn.
What part of town are you from? I grew up in Semmes.
Bill Belichick beat you to it.

There is deception in EVERY play in football. Even when the play is designed to do exactly what it looks like it's designed to do, it's still deceptive because the opposing coach is wondering what the heck you're up to.
BTW
To paraphrase;
The best army is the one the enemy is afraid to fight.
This is due to training and reputation.
Hence the Iraqui army surrendering en masse to the USMC during the first Gulf War.
President Bush is continually misunderestimated by Democrats. Good post.
