The msm is all over fake girlfriends and Moochelle’s new wig but can’t bother reporting real news as our country is swirling down the you know what.

Te'o is gay..This was a scam he started to try and make him appear straight..if he won the Heisman..and also to help with his NFL draft status...(this was before Alabama showed him up as a second rounder..) Think any team will waste a high pick on an openly gay player? The media, and the locker room, would be a ZOOOOOOO

How about the way ND swept Declan Sullivan under the rug? He was the student assistant sent up in a scissorlift in gale force winds to video football practice. He died when the lift fell over. Heads should have rolled for that one, up to and including the football coach.
Declan should be honored in some way at the University. Shame on them times three.

"I only have one thing to say:
ROLL TIDE! ! ! !
HA, HA!
I have two Notre Dame tshirts ("Notre Dame Fighting Irish") but ever since Obama spoke there and demanded that all crosses and crucifixes be covered while he was there AND "ND" DID IT!
So I guess "Roll Tide" is a possibility. Who else can I can on now?!
UT or UH is a possibility...I guess.

This makes me ask for something like the millionth time when Notre Dame is going to start taking seriously what their mission statement says about the pursuit of truth for its own sake. Amen. ND cut themselves loose from their anchor and have drifted with the prevailing winds into the rocky shoals.

“Te’o is gay..This was a scam he started to try and make him appear straight”
I thought this 5 minutes after I heard the story. My Mom asked me about this story last night. That’s exactly what I told her.

"Moochelles new wig"
The First Wookie has a new wig.
Expensive, I sure.
Tax paid for...hmmmmmm....
To: Bratch
Can’t we find something more important to talk about, like Michele O’s new hairstyle?

she’s employing biting sarcasm

Maybe so, BUT seeing as how she works for the Washington Post, I might be forgiven for doubting it.
