You're kidding. How'd that happen. Texas played so impressively last week. Michigan is kicking the devil out of Notre Dame right now - it is embarrassing to watch.

I better go over to ESPN and check out how the Ags are doing today.

[lodwick]

Let's see:

Arkansas came out throwing, instead of running, the ball.

UT's special teams got no turnovers.

UT gave up turnovers.

UT was looking down the road to OU.

Mack Brown was outcoached by Houston Nutt.

[mountaineer]

Yes indeedy.

[mountaineer]

I wonder if that paper bag Jayson Blair is carrying contains cheese doodles, or whatever junk food he blames for his downfall. (Probably just a 40 oz. malt liquor).

[Endeavor]

That would do it. Aggies don't play until Thursday. All Texas has to do is beat OU and it's a new season - er, at least, it's a newer season.

Here's a photo that even I can caption, lol....

Slick explaining to the folks in Iowa just how big Hillary's hips have gotten...hee hee...

Sen. Tom Harkin , D-Iowa, left, and his wife Ruth look on as former President Bill Clinton speaks during Harkin's annual steak fry, Saturday, Sept. 13, 2003, in Indianola, Iowa.

Guess who is going to be a first time daddy at age 56?

Late night talk show host David Letterman, who portrays himself on air as a cantankerous loner, says he is about to become a father. Letterman, shown in a recent show taping, told the studio audience at Thursday's taping of Friday night's show that his girlfriend, Regina Lasko, is six months pregnant. (CBS via Reuters)

58 degrees and overcast at kickoff. It started raining at the beginning of the second half.

The Hawks were able to capitalize on their own mistakes. The Clones deep kickoff return specialists couldn't keep their eyes on the ball and lost it a couple of times. It was Sad. Very Sad.

Hawks 40 Clones 21

This from the Iowa Presidential Watch site, which has begun posting links to the Anti-Bush sites, just so we'll know what we're up against:

What We’re Up Against

Featured
Radical Website:

FearBush.com

In an effort to make sure Iowa Presidential Watch visitors are aware of the ridiculous, vindictive accusations being made against President Bush, IPW will feature various radical websites throughout the Iowa caucus campaign.

www.fearbush.com is just one of several websites dedicated to attacking the Bush administration.

FearBush.com describes itself as “a forum for responsible public sentiment” FearBush.com offers a “protest toolkit” that features “peace rally” posters with GWB dressed in a Nazi uniform – complete with Adolf Hitler’s distinctive mustache. The toolkit copy says that the “greatest and most immediate threat from George W. Bush and his hawkish advisors is their unilateral and pre-emptive war against Iraq…it’s as imperative as ever to show the world that we will not stand this cowboy aggression.”

FearBush.com opens with a random message from a “concerned citizen” – here's one example:“Bush is the ultimate distraction for the masses. An ignorant, corrupt right-wing puppet touted by the corporate controlled main-stream as a great war-time leader. In the 80’s we had Reagan’s White House basement cowboys. Today we have even worse: an extremist fascist conspiracy to gut the constitution, rape the environment and loot the economy under the distraction of 9/11 et al. We are living in historic times. Never in the history of our country have our freedoms been so threatened.”

[lodwick]

Or at least Mack Brown keeps his job, before we go after your guy.

What a racket is college football...it's all about the w/l record.

Very sad to say.

(Especially since many of the "stars" could not spell CAT if you spotted them the C and and A.)

[lodwick]

Sucked for us today.

I'm glad I don't have to show up for these affairs...

Glad to see that you are safely home.

[Iowa Granny]

Funny you should mention the fact you appreciate not needing to show up for events of this type.

I believe I have attended my last one. I get more out of it watching it on TV, even with the giant replay screen in the end zone.

There's no thrill in it for me. I can't stand the crowds,, Crowd broke all existing records today. And there were almost as many people in the parking lots watching on TV's as were in the stands.

I wish I could get all those people as stirred up about politics as they are over "The Game of the Year".

[lodwick]

Football is the perfect sport for television: with all the camera angles, instant replays, etc. there is no way the guys in the stadium can see what do the folks at home - unless they bring their own tellies to the stadium.

The poll predictors here were astounded when, instead of 9% of the voters, a verrrry manly 12% showed up vote on 22 amendments to our state constitution. Good job Texans...twelve measley percent of you cared enough to vote.

Cheers everyone.

So I guess the question is "who is Gandi Sarl, and why does this FRENCHMAN hate President Bush so much as to create a website before he even was elected?" But, of course, he doesn't - it's just that the anti-Bushies in the U.S. are using his France-based web host so as to avoid liability under U.S. law for the things they say and do on their website. Gandi.net is what a lot of spammers use for their websites.

[BigWaveBetty]

So being anti-Bush and being a filthy dishonest slug go hand in hand.

Not surprizing.

[mountaineer]

Oh, please:

BARBRA Streisand doesn't like airplanes. But she's been able to visit her husband, James Brolin, twice in Montreal, where he's starring as the former president in the HBO movie "The Reagans: The First Family." Sources on the set say Babs, who lives in Malibu, had been complaining about how much she missed her hunky hubby - so Whoopi Goldberg offered the diva her personal minivan and driver for the 47-hour drive. Streisand gratefully accepted. (page six)

[mountaineer]

I just wonder who was so intent on establishing an anti-Bush website when it wasn't certain that he would be elected in 2000. Hmmm, who would have the greatest interest in defaming him? Who indeed?

Tighten my tinfoil hat!

And this:

WOULD-BE presidential candidate Wesley Clark tested New York's fund-raising waters the other night. The former NATO commander met Bette Midler, Chevy Chase, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Michael J. Fox and Tracey Pollan, Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, Karenna Gore and Drew Schiff, investment banker Steven Rattner and Marie White and others at publisher Jann Wenner's home. Earlier, Clark introduced himself to potential donors assembled by lawyer Mel Weiss ... NY Daily News

Would Karenna do anything her father didn't approve of, and does Al do anything not approved by the Clinton-controlled DNC?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Adventurous ladies looking for new ways to flirt, here's a suggestion from New York's Museum of Sex -- go to a restaurant, head for the bathroom, take off your panties and put them on your date's plate. That was among the more unusual suggestions made late on Wednesday evening to about a dozen New York women and one man at the museum's first practical sex workshop, called "Loving You: Female Sexual Self-Esteem." rest of story

Didn't I order fettucini Alfredo?

[mountaineer]

Hillary tries - unsuccessfully - to appear sad and sympathetic by biting her lip, as taught to her by her putative husband:

U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., reacts during the reading of victims' names during a ceremony Thursday, Sept. 11, 2003, at ground zero in New York, on the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

Next time, Hilly, just carry a hat pin in your pocket and stick yourself in the leg at the appropriate time - that will create the requisite pained expression.

[BigWaveBetty]

Have you seen the thread about clinton's appearance at the Harkin steak fry? The rules have changed my dear, no longer are past presidents above the fray, well at least not clinton.

I was mulling about algore last night. I think algore decided on Sept. 12, 2001 he would not run for the '04 election. I think the 9/11 attack scared the crap out of algore and there was no way he wanted to have to ever deal with it. I'm betting he was very grateful that he lost in 2000. Aside from the fact al is a big fraidy cat, he'd have to explain all the inaction on terrorism during the clinton years.

I can't figure out why the hoop-lah over Clark though, why would the clintons be so hot for him? Dean, Kerry, Gephardt or Lieberman can't lose big enough for them? I mean Clark is just really, really awful. No panache, no personality, no home town boy persona. We know the clintons want GWB to win but why would the clintons want GWB to win SO big?
