Resembling McNabb doesn’t make him appeal to me at all, in fact it has the opposite effect based on his behavior. I am sick and tired of the satraps and appointed and paid for by taxpayer czars all over this administration.

Here's a great response I saw on that thread.

No one should die because Obama wants to ration health care, and the nation should not go broke because of Obama’s continued reckless spending. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day and do something useful, like writing or calling your representatives.

I’ve got dark blue on today, which would work for Pitt or Hempfield. Since the Jayhawks are on the road tonight, I might take my daughter to a game at her actual school.

Tomorrow, Pitt vs the Penguins.

The satraps of Capitol Hill are full of themselves and impressed by the fact that they are succeeding with their socialist agenda. Scum.

People as stupid as he shouldn’t be allowed to breed.

No line on the game as YSU is 1-AA or whatever they call it now.

FCS.

Plus you’d have to be crazy to bet on Pitt. Don’t know if the “Beat Notre Dame” or “Lose to Bowling Green” team is going to show up.

Home from doing an estimate and getting groceries-

Even his friends are learning
Obama is not to be trusted-
The minute the truth comes out
They’re the ones who are busted

Starting with reverend Wright
Anyone who causes a fuss
For the satrap-in-chief finds
That it is crowded under that bus

Jones is just the latest radical
To find that he’s been outed-
Now everyone knows he’s not
Reformed, and he’ll be routed

Dave Wannstedt, yes. As a hometown boy he’s been given an extremely long honeymoon.

But just when you want to give up on him, he pulls one out of his hat, like beating WVU to dash their unbeaten season.
