You people are too fast.

Second. Or third. Or fourth.

Man U got their hats handed to them today. Again.

Soylent Red

Fifth!

Jim Eagle

Before I could type the Redskin fight song, Philly runs the ensuing KO back 102 yds. Sigh! 7-7/

Soylent Red

Man...I hate packing to move.

Lifting heavy shit into a truck? No problem. But I hate, hate, hate the packing phase.

JiB,

Here's an article that talks about Google's funding of various education-related topics. Maybe they will fund your science lab?

Whistle when you get here, Soylent. You've been missed.

Jim Eagle

DrJ,

Thanks for that link. But did you read the comments:) Google doesn't have any friends there.

narciso

so a group that controls little territory, without much a seeming network is the new threat

Jim Eagle

The Giants are the new leader in the NFL in Clemsoning. What a joke.

Captain Hate

Don't worry, JiB, we have HOF #8 Captain Kirk running the show until Bobby Three Sticks gets healed up.

JiB,

I rarely read the comments at slashdot. I have better things to do.

New post up. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/journey-to-the-center-of-the-core-yields-the-yoke-of-citizen-centric-governance-to-force-a-shared-vision/

jimmy-what I find is that the privates, suburbs, and charters switch at varying rates in part to minimize the outcry. Every single major private school in Atlanta has switched now so the parent upset with what their charter or suburban school switches to has lost that port in the storm. I do not think it is coincidental it happened in that order. The parents who have noticed feel trapped.

Luckily when your friends get disgruntled you know where to direct them to get answers.

Jim Eagle

Skins 14 to 7 for the Eagkes and McCoy is out with possible concussion.

Good one one, Clarice. I've hated Barbara Boxer ever since she was un the house.

peter

anyone want to bet that the climate marchers leave tons of garbage for NYC Sanitation men to clean up?

Don't forget the "natural" fertilizer on squad cars, Peter.

Under the house, like in Wizard of Oz?
jimmyk

Peter @3:06, they've already created massive traffic tie-ups that have generated tons of pollution.

Captain Hate

Very entertaining game between the Browns and Ravens with lots of lead changes. Brian Hoyer (MSU grad) lighting things up.

Jane

Did anyone show up for the climate morons?

Jeff Dobbs

CH - are you really watching an NF(Good)L game? Is that normal?

are you really watching an NF(Good)L game? Is that normal?

Oh yes, I still like the players, warts and all. That fat turd Goodell and dickweed owners like Kraft, not so much.

Jeff Dobbs

Oh. So stinkbug season is upon us.


Jeff Dobbs

JiB:
27 all in the 4th Q.

As of now the song should be "Hail Kissing Your Sister"

Captain Hate

I hate Whoreyweird with the heat of a supernova but I'll go see that new Robert Duvall movie, The Judge, next month.

maryrose

CH:
After last week's win I am cautiously optimistic vabout today. We beat the Ravens one time last year so I am hoping their recent troubles with their kicked out thug of a player will cost them today.
Iggy; Hoyer our quarterback went to St Ignatius high school as did my husband. At home we call him our "Iggy"s boy.
Happy belated birthday to centracal .I am missing someone again so Happy Birthday.
Ext: You had an excellent post on a previous thread. Feel free to share your good ideas with us.
clarice; Wonderful article and I especially liked the shout-out to Miss M[PBS has a Miss Marple show on tonight} and the takedown of Babs Boxer.

Jeff Dobbs

The stinkbugs smell like cilantro when you squash them.

Miss Marple

Funny you should mention stinkbugs. Just had a GIANT one fly in through the open patio door. I shooed him out, but golly, it was a whopper!

Breeze picking up and feels like fall. I have been working on yard clean-up but am ready to pack it in for today.

Jeff Dobbs

Jim Eagle

Lovebug season in Florida. We use special windsheild washer liquid so that the winsheild doesn't look a crazy Rorshach patrern.

Eagles look like they are driving down enough to win the game.

Jim Eagle

Deadskins = no pass defense whatsoever. Pathetic.

Beasts of England

Stink bugs smell like cilantro? May I suggest a new green grocer?

narciso

the Jaguars are being beyond slattered, by the Colts, there's a lesson somewhere,

Sue

The Cowboys win and the Redskins are losing. As it should be.

maryrose

Sue:
I have to admit I do like the Cowboys. I have followed them since the Landry days.

Browns just can't win 2 games in a row. We are cursed.My stating I was cautiously optimistic was the "kiss of death".

Maryrose,

You chose wisely. ::grin::

Beasts of England

According to Wikipedia, those who disfavor the taste of cilantro (coriander) liken its flavor to soap or bug. Ha! You may be on to something, hit!

Jim Eagle

Super Bowl 48 rematch ready to start.

Sue

If I was a Yankee's fan I would cry like a baby at the Derek Jeter Gatorade commercial. The only Yankee I can stand.

Jim Eagle

Deadskins couldn't move the ball on 4 downs. Eagles win (I assume).

Oh well. Good effort but they need to bollster that defensive backfield.

Frau  Guertelrose

Baba "Yaga" Boxer lost all credibility even before she allowed her daughter to marry into the Rodham/Clinton crime families.

jimmyk

I od'ed on all the Jeter love back in April. By now it's just so much noise.

Sue

That commercial is awesome.

Captain Hate

Browns couldn't execute in crunch time and the Ravens could. That's really what it came down to. Not gonna single anybody out except the sooner Billy Cundiffe is put on irrevokeable waivers, the better. Choking twat.

James D.

Just saw this - check out the halftime entertainment the Giants treated the fans to this week (and, no, this is NOT a joke):

https://twitter.com/Giants/status/513755215024361472/photo/1

Captain Hate

Just think, jimmyk; the number of times you hear "Just past the reach of a diving Jeter" are almost over.

jimmyk

Heh, Cap'n, especially since the Yanks are out of the post-season barring some divine intervention.

sbw

The Jeter commercial is class.

Jim Eagle

Want to bring some muscle back into the feminization of the NFL? Get rid of that stupid QB sliding rule. You want to run RGIII, Kaepernick and Wilson then man up.

James D.

JiB, I agree with you 1,000%. But unfortunately that train has sailed.

Captain Hate

Jeter's defense has been almost as overrated as Scooter Rizzuto's entire career but he's put up insanely good numbers on offense. Definitely a first ballot HOFer; it would be stupid to argue otherwise no matter what you think about the Yankees.

Danube on iPad

I hate these new "points of emphasis" directed at the secondary. No one can defend the pass.

jimmyk

Agree 100%, Captain. The main thing I hold against him is staying at shortstop when the ARod joined the team, forcing the better defender to play 3b. Batting him 2nd all season this year probably didn't help the team either, but I don't know whose decision that was.

I just watched the ad on youtube. Nice ad, but if you're not in NYC you probably can't appreciate how thick it's been laid on this year. The funny thing was seeing the number of people in the comments asking what the song was in the background. Probably the same people who can't name three branches of government.

Extraneus

Really. I saw a giant "Good Bye Derek!" billboard off the West Side highway about 8 months ago. Yet, he's still not gone.

jimmyk

They're retrieving every ball he touches, practically, even foul tips. (Ok, I'm exaggerating slightly, but not a lot.) With 10 games left in the season they were saying "That ball could be his last major league hit!" seemingly without realizing the irony. I'm guessing the fans will be lining up to sniff his jock straps.

Jim Eagle

jimmyk,

As long as Yogi is still alive he'll be the secondary Yankee legend and will never measure up to him and fan acceptance.

sbw

I'm guessing the fans will be lining up to sniff his jock straps.

Bad visual. Bad everything. And probably correct.

henry

Packers are useless. Just saw a Burke commercial where she compares herself to Reagan -- then claims Walker raised taxes (????). Lies are what the left is good at.

Extraneus

Didn't he just go 0 for 25 or something like that? It really could be his last hit.

Captain Hate on the iPhone

For all the Yogi jokes he had an amazing career.

Beasts of England

Yogi Berra is still alive? I'm surprised.

I guess it really ain't over until it's over.

Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet

Don't tell Zeke, Beasts.

Marlene

Just caught up. Happy Belated Birthday,ccal and James D! You share a birthday with my mother,which we celebrated in NH yesterday. She's still a bit unsteady on her feet a month after knee replacement,but is doing well.

In my very limited TV viewing over the week-end,I saw a Mitt endorsement of Scott Brown,paid for by the U.S.Chamber of Commerce.

Old Lurker

Jim!

Home?

maryd

Marlene, hubby and I took an early leaf peeping trip north to Lancaster, Jefferson, Twin Mountain, and back through Bethlehem. Was really gratified by the amount of signs for Marilinda Garcia and Scott Brown. None others except for the locals. I was sorry I had not taken my camera. Marilinda's Facebook page in particular likes stuff like this. I am working for both campaign and will be doing Garcia flyers at the Littleton Art Festival and the Sugar Hill Fall Festival next weekend.

Jim Eagle

Yogi and Carmine came to our wedding in London. Old friend because of another friend who is his golf buddy. Play out of Montclair in Joesey. Fastest greens I have ever played on.

In 2000 I was Yogi's bodyguard on the JFK during the NYC tall ship sailing when Clenis came flying in with Reno and Cohen. Guess who the sailors wanted their photos with?

Jane

If you guys are going to talk football every Sunday,you could at least let me know how the Pats do.

If they played the Raiders, they won.

Extraneus

Don't know if anyone has linked this excellent piece by Phyllis Schlafly:

The Liberal Newcomers

Limit immigration or watch conservative efforts become irrelevant.

The 2008 National Annenberg Election Survey found that 62 percent of immigrants prefer a single, government-run health-care system. The 2010 Cooperative Congressional Election Study found that 69 percent of immigrants support Obamacare. Pew also found that 53 percent of Hispanics have a negative view of capitalism, the highest of any group surveyed. This is even higher than the 47 percent among self-identified supporters of Occupy Wall Street.

The Pew Research Center has also found that 75 percent of Hispanics prefer a “bigger government providing more services,” and only 19 percent prefer a smaller government. Pew also reported that 55 percent of Asians prefer “bigger government providing more services,” and only 36 percent prefer a smaller government. So it’s no surprise that in 2012, 71 percent of Hispanics and 73 percent of Asians voted for Obama.

She notes that much of the Republican Party leadership hasn't looked into the policy preferences of immigrants.

Duh.

narciso

anyone shocked by this, raise their hands:

Janet - the districts lie fallow, while the Capitol gorges itself

-- then claims Walker raised taxes (????). Lies are what the left is good at.

Why not?...there is no downside for the left.
Cuccinelli was supposedly gonna outlaw birth control.

Cuccinelli didn't even run against McAuliffe. He ran against Big Abortion, leftist environmentalists, & the MFM.
I rarely even saw McAuliffe or heard him speak.

Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet

I got home Friday evening, totally exhausted and very weak, OL. Yesterday was nothing but catching up on sleep. Today is the first time in a long while that I have been able to muster the energy to post comments. Still tired and weak, but gaining strength somewhat.

Great Pieces today, Clarice. I particularly enjoyed the clips from one of those Senators I would most like to take Zeke's advice.

Captain Hate

She notes that much of the Republican Party leadership hasn't looked into the policy preferences of immigrants.

I'm tired of pointing out how insane their stance on immigration reform is, from every aspect ranging from political advantage to what is good for the country. I can only assume they don't care about what the base wants or the Reagan democrats. Good luck winning with that.

Captain Hate

Tracy Wolfson looks like she had some work done since being replaced on the SEC broadcast by Allie LaForce. Not bad.

Jim Eagle

I thought Denver getting rid of Tebow and bringing in Manning was like a sure thing for winning the Super Bowl. Like the one last year and this match up. News for Elway and Co. Without a defense your boy can pass all day and be mediocre as a team.

Captain Hate

Since I irrationally hate everything having to do with Seattle, my football viewing on CBS is done for today.

Jim Eagle

C.A.R.D.I.N.A.LS.

Marlene

MaryD,what a pretty drive! I was amazed at the number of political signs along the roads in NH. My brother told us that Scott Brown was at a local music festival last week-end.He was by himself,didn't glad-hand,but engaged in conversation with anyone who approached him. He's doing campaigning at the retail level,as I'm sure you know.

Jane,we can't watch the Pats because the local CBS station has blacked out DISH customers because of a contract dispute.

JimR, hope you feel better soon!

Jim Eagle

Welcome back JR. Stay safe, heakthy and wise as usual. Just don't watch any Falcon games:) Heart healthy!

Captain Hate

I'm old enough to remember when the Cards played in Chicago. An online friend of mine from Chitown's father used to berate him for cheering for the Bears, calling them the Football Cubs.

Captain Hate

Best wishes for gaining strength, Jim. Nice to read you.

narciso

What is it about Seattle, causes you to twitch so, Captain,

Danube on iPad

Pats won, Jabe, but once again did not look sharp.

Captain Hate

I can't explain irrational hatreds, narc, other than to acknowledge their existence. I was very happy when the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City. I think I cheered for the Mariners once when they were in the playoffs against the Yankees but that was a singular event.

maryd

Jim Rhodes,so glad you are home and feeling a bit better. Based on my experience with heart failure in the last couple of years, I would say take it easy and give yourself a break. I had very unrealistic feelings about when I would "be better" and what I "should be doing" -- don't go there! I've only now, after two years, come to believe that I am better. I'm 72 and believe me and this stuff really takes the wind out of your sails.
Best wishes!

Captain Hate

Tom Brennamen should not be allowed to broadcast football.

Extraneus

Good to see you in the comments, Jim.

Jim Eagle

For you foodies I am grilling lamb kebobs marinated in yoghurt the morrocan way. Yummy with a cuke, radish, mint and feta cheese salad. Eat good feel good.

Niners are Clemsoning.

I remember when the Rams traded seven guys to the Chi. Cards for the great Ollie Matson.
