Library Chronicles: I'll bet y'all think there's no Saints post coming

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 18:47:00 -0500

You're wrong, though. Really. If I had to describe the problem succinctly, it's too much information with too little time to make it all fit the right way. And since I actually do things other than Yellow blogging then, well....

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:32:06 -0500

By Clay A. Smith It was all over, and all Saints’ fans could do was watch helplessly, as the 3-8 Washington Redskins lined up to boot away their team’s pursuit of perfection with just under two minutes left to play. By all accounts New Orleans’ unbelievable march towards 16-0 should have been stalled on Fed [...]

Library Chronicles: A long time ago, during the 2008 Presidential primary...

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:31:00 -0500

I had taken to calling these ninny, Yuppie fucks "cultists" But people told me I was being mean. According to these defenders, it's just wrong -- morally, ethically and psychologically -- to criticize the President.

Red Stick Rant: A Tiger By The Tale.

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:35:00 -0500

I've noticed - as have many of you, I suppose - how the Left/Mainstream Media has grabbed onto the recent stories of Tiger Woods and his marital problems. On some networks it's the only leade - all Tiger, all the time. I find this curious coming from a group of' [...]
