I think that is a splendid idea. Heaven knows that Sharkboy needs all the cheering up he can get, football season treating him colder and crueler than a Michigan winter.

So let me help:
Michigan (3-9) 1

Gotta love the SEIU thugs.
Sebelius tells them, “atta boy, goo doggie.”
Then the Dems claim that those protesting are being ‘organised’.
SO.. the SEIU thugs AREN’T organized?
*sigh*
So I guess Sebelius was praising them on mindless ant like marching and thuggery because she is attracted to mindless ant like marching and thuggery?
Not because she TOLD them to march mindlessly and thug like ants?

So keep harping on your polls, their accuracy is so overwhelmingly blinding........

Could have fooled me. Somehow those end-of-season polls that usually show Ohio State back in the pack, Michigan nowhere to be found (just like you after each losing "big" blue season), and an SEC team as BCS Champion seem to be very accurate.

I guess it's because they have no "do-overs"

But I digress. Back to the pre-season poll:

Yes, they are.
And the Dems are outright dismissing what the people are saying.

That would be great if they overdid it.
People would get truly fed up at an exponential rate.
And we wouldn’t have to say anything at all.I did like the comparison of 1930’s Germany and the Obama admin, and some lefty types freaking out about it.
The response was “What about ‘bushitler’ and ‘dissent is patriotic’?”
Crickets.

You two macadamias are certifiable. Obamba will be contacting you for a cabinet job shortly. You guys will fit right in!
