Bwahahahahahahahaha.........you are so pathetic.....
:-)
:-)
Have another glass of whine
I always predicted #1 for LSU, you didn't (so whine on)......I also predicted the so called upset of Michigan v Floriduh.........and since then, the whining from down South has been incessant, pathetic, and incapable of handling yet another SEC loss to Michigan.....
:-) :-)
Do you disagree?
You also predicted about a dozen of the last two "big" 10 BCS Championships. HELPFUL TIP: AVOID THE HORSE RACES!
That was so lovely and endearing it brought back memories of my dear sweet Husband who I miss very much...
I am glad you liked it Resty.
I would be remiss in not reminding you that the wars actually started on our first bet, Michigan beating floriduh when they had that superstar QB named Rex Grossman.
That Michigan has maintained an ongoing superiority over the SEC has not set well with you........
:-(
Well, yes.......no one knows yet who the future NFL superstars will be when they are drafted, not even the stellar talent picker named catpuppy.
Think of Tom Brady and Ryan Lief (sp?). Mike Singletary and Brian Bosworth.
That the recent round robin strangeness of dominance continues is hard to understand: SEC beats Ohio State. Ohio State beats Michigan. Michigan beats the SEC. All in the record books for anyone to see.
It's evidence that UFO's truly interfere with the NCAA foosball prognosticators with wry humour!
Wow, great news for Jake Long. He seems to be a good guy and I’m happy for him even though I agree with catpuppy that it is an absurd amount of money. ... hummmm, Miami Dolphins... uh, that be a Florida team, huh? :)
Honestly, McCain has to be the luckiest candidate ever. The majority of Republican or conservative voters despise him, a year ago his campaign was broke, he was written off as an albatross to the GOP. Now, he is sitting in the catbird seat as Obama and Clinton do the heavy lifting for the general election by beating up on each other.
Wilting Over Waffles
April 23, 2008, Op-Ed Columnist, By MAUREEN DOWD
He’s never going to shake her off.
Not all by himself.
The very fact that he can’t shake her off has become her best argument against him. “Why can’t he close the deal?” Hillary taunted at a polling place on Tuesday.
She’s been running ads about it, suggesting he doesn’t have “what it takes” to run the country. Her message is unapologetically emasculating: If he does not have the gumption to put me in my place, when superdelegates are deserting me, money is drying up, he’s outspending me 2-to-1 on TV ads, my husband’s going crackers and party leaders are sick of me, how can he be trusted to totally obliterate Iran and stop Osama?
Now that Hillary has won Pennsylvania, it will take a village to help Obama escape from the suffocating embrace of his rival. Certainly Howard Dean will be of no use steering her to the exit. It’s like Micronesia telling Russia to denuke.
“You know, some people counted me out and said to drop out,” said a glowing Hillary at her Philadelphia victory party, with Bill and Chelsea by her side. “Well, the American people don’t quit. And they deserve a president who doesn’t quit, either.”
The Democrats are growing ever more desperate about the Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. With gas prices out of control, with the comically oblivious President Bush shimmying around New Orleans — the city he let drown — and Condi sneaking into Baghdad as rockets and mortars hail down on the Green Zone, beating the Republicans should be a cinch.
But the Democrats watch in horror as Hillary continues to scratch up the once silvery sheen on Obama, and as John McCain not only consolidates his own party but encroaches on theirs by boldly venturing into Selma, Ala., on Monday to woo black voters.
They also cringe as Bill continues his honey-crusted-nut-bar meltdown. With his usual exquisite timing, just as Pennsylvanians were about to vote, Hillary’s husband became the first person ever to play the Caucasian Card. First, he blurted out to a radio interviewer that the Obama camp had played the race card against him after he compared Obama’s strength in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s. And then, with a Brobdingnagian finger-wagging on the screen, he denied it to an NBC News reporter.
“You always follow me around and play these little games, and I’m not going to play your games today,” he said, accusing the reporter of looking for “another cheap story to divert the American people from the real urgent issues before us.”
If there’s one person who knows about crass diversions, it’s Bill. But even for him, it was an embarrassing explosion, capped with some blue language to an aide that was caught on air.
The Democrats are eager to move on to an Obama-McCain race. But they can’t because no one seems to be able to show Hillary the door. Despite all his incandescent gifts, Obama has missed several opportunities to smash the ball over the net and end the game. Again and again, he has seemed stuck at deuce. He complains about the politics of scoring points, but to win, you’ve got to score points.
He knew he tanked in the Philadelphia debate, but he was so irritated by the moderators — and by having to stand next to Hillary again — that he couldn’t summon a single merry dart.
Is he skittish around her because he knows that she detests him and he’s used to charming everyone? Or does he feel guilty that he cut in line ahead of her? As the husband of Michelle, does he know better than to defy the will of a strong woman? Or is he simply scared of Hillary because she’s scary?
He is frantic to get away from her because he can’t keep carbo-loading to relate to the common people.
In the final days in Pennsylvania, he dutifully logged time at diners and force-fed himself waffles, pancakes, sausage and a Philly cheese steak. He split the pancakes with Michelle, left some of the waffle and sausage behind, and gave away the French fries that came with the cheese steak.
But this is clearly a man who can’t wait to get back to his organic scrambled egg whites. That was made plain with his cri de coeur at the Glider Diner in Scranton when a reporter asked him about Jimmy Carter and Hamas.
“Why” he pleaded, sounding a bit, dare we say, bitter, “can’t I just eat my waffle?”
His subtext was obvious: Why can’t I just be president? Why do I have to keep eating these gooey waffles and answering these gotcha questions and debating this gonzo woman?
Before they devour themselves once more, perhaps the Democrats will take a cue from Dr. Seuss’s “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!” (The writer once mischievously redid it for his friend Art Buchwald as “Richard M. Nixon Will You Please Go Now!”) They could sing:
“The time has come. The time has come. The time is now. Just go. ... I don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Hillary R. Clinton, will you please go now! You can go on skates. You can go on skis. ... You can go in an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!”
Oooops! :) Sorry... I got so involved in the “posting” of the above article at post # 3,572 that I forgot to “ping” y’all to the danged article. FOFLOL
True. But those who make a living thinking about such things say that this year's draft has no superstars. While some may emerge, they are not exactly jumping out from the pack. That a Michigan lineman goes first is great ... but that he is worth more than any other offensive lineman in the game seems to me to be a stretch.
Have someone read your numerous boasts/posts on "those things" and then get back to me. Your memory is reaching Clintonian proportions.
Er ... uh... check your meds. I think not only will we know, we already know. Michigan lost as did the team that beat them, the vaunted Ohio State. That is why Florida--not Michigan and not Ohio State--is listed as National Champion for that year.
Now what is it that "we'll never know about that year"?
LOL! Thanks, Darlin’! Sounds just like something I would do. That Maureen Dowd sure is somethin’!
As opposed to Ryan Leaf (sp?) and Brian Bosworth who "they" said were sure superstars......
No wonder your poor early bird fed brain believes as you do.....you are reading "them".
Tis your very own Clintonian and selective memory of rooting for teams after they win that is tricking that poor heat pickled, flat earthed brain of yours........
I am sure we will find out in the second week of January 2009 who you rooted for next year.........
:-)
Yes, she is. Leastwise, thats what I think as long as all that caustic wit is being directed at democrats. Unfortunately, once the dems have fought it out at the convention Dowd will look around for a new target and will take aim at us just in time for the general election. Still, it is fun reading her again, however brief the time.
