I read a news article that is not tainted by partisan bullshit from time to time. If I had to estimate the frequency of such an occurrence, I would say that it happens once every two or three years. Student loans are apparently a political issue these days. Democrats want more and more lending, with subsidized interest rates, while Republicans want interest rates to be more of a market

For fuck's sake, I enjoy lowbrow humor and moronic puns more than the next guy, but come on. You didn't think this sounded silly before you put it on television? Then you're a fucking idiot and, quite frankly, I won't feel bad if you get shitcanned and your family can't make ends meet. Sometimes that's just what needs to happen.

Through years and years of intensive study, the researchers at the institute have tried to determine who exactly is the most attractive woman on earth. Our researchers are far more lazy and prone to distraction than most, so there's no telling where this study will lead. It seems like some sort of ranking should be in the works, sooner or later. In addition to their general laziness with respect

It has to be said though. Jon Hurdle at the New York Times is a sick, twisted man. Let me state, for the record, that I'm not arguing the merits of the Gosnell case here. I'm pretty sure he has another judgment coming. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's a whole other discussion. My point is one of basic English. Hurdle reported on the story of... "Dr. Gosnell, who according to prosecutors killed

The chick is a bona fide moron if she thinks gun magazines can't be reused, but I hope my little gift at the end will give you a chuckle.

There has been a lot of talk in this country about just what ideology our dear president holds. Is he the most moderate Democrat in the last 70 years? Some would say so, with fancy line graphs to back up their assertion and everything. Then you have others, like the governor of Louisiana, who seem to hold a different view. Then there are the libertarians, who often seem to think that Obama

I remarked to my brother today, as we left Joe Louis Arena, that you don't always buy the ticket to experience the game. You can watch the game on television, after all. Sometimes you buy the ticket to experience the walk back to your parking spot. After the Irish won the last ever CCHA championship this afternoon in Detroit, that walk back to the parking spot was a beauty. Absolute silence.

I went bowling earlier tonight. (223, 178, and 202, in case you were wondering.) While I was at the bowling alley, I got a text message from one of my cousins. I had done some technical work on her behalf recently, but this text message was of a social nature. Long story short → sure, I'll stop by the local redneck pool hall and have a beer. After a short time, she and her crew were ready to

It's my understanding that the Wings are in a transition phase and, as a result, they're not very good this year. As I was having dinner with some friends tonight, I saw that they dropped eight goals on Vancouver. Wow. We're told that Detroit is the most miserable city in America. For today at least, I'm pretty sure Roberto Luongo was the most miserable person in Detroit. I've watched

I'm on record telling you fine folks, right from the start, that Manti Te'o was innocent of everything other than misleading his father.  You sure as shit won't see me backing down from that assertion now.  Every bit of evidence - EVERY BIT OF EVIDENCE - has backed up Manti's claim that he was just a gullible nerd who fell in love and didn't know any better. So, as I so very astutely

Face it. The kid got tricked. He lied to his father about his internet girlfriend, which he shouldn't have done. Beyond that, the media firestorm has been dead wrong. Being a sucker who was drawn to a suffering woman is not nearly the same as purpotrating an elaborate hoax to prop up a nonexistent Heisman campaign. Speaking of the Heisman thing, some of you fucking people are awfully

This Manti Te'o story is going to reveal that Te'o is exactly what we thought he was.  He's a pure soul who believes what people tell him.  Since he believes in human goodness and the blessings of "the Heavenly Father," he's what the rest of us would call naive.  Or at least he was.  Now he's probably one step closer to being a cynical piece of shit like me and (I suspect)

The Corleone brothers will be taking in the action at E.G. Nick's in Plymouth, if anyone cares to stop in for a pint.  I'm told that there will be a healthy gathering of Notre Dame folks, so the atmosphere should be pretty fun.  Always more fun when the team wins, of course, but we'll just have to see how that part goes.

I was watching football this evening.  With every snap taken by Robert Griffin III, my blood inched a little closer to its boiling point.  I'm sure that Mr. Griffin is a gentleman and a scholar and a breeder of fine horses.  I'm also sure that he's an inexperienced young man who should not be left to decide when he has crossed the line from helping his team to hurting his team.&

Depending on who is providing the estimate, we're talking about anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 Notre Dame fans in attendance.  Say whatever you like, but that is simply stunning.  If I traveled all the way from [insert location here] to Miami, you can bet I'd find some other kind of diversion on a Saturday night.  Either our fans are the most dedicated anywhere or they are the most

In four days we'll know.  Until then, we're reduced to waiting and chuckling as the (allegedly) invincible SEC teams continue to look rather pedestrian against non-SEC competition.  When Oklahoma blows out Texas A&M tomorrow, assuming my projection is accurate, it will be high time for the gamblers of the world to revisit that point spread for Monday night. The point spread is

Big enough to contain this one? [Graphic courtesy of zerohedge.com] That's like saying I have $16,000 in credit card debt, a minimum wage job, and a house in foreclosure - but I got a $62 coupon to spend on a new $1,089 television that I otherwise couldn't afford.  So, you see, I'm making progress.  I'm still putting that TV on my credit card, and it still costs me $1,027, but I

We go out to dinner, come back to the condo, play with Legos for a little while, and then kick back to watch some TV show about the ancient Mayans.  Naturally, it's not a compelling topic for a five year old, so he's out like a light.  My brother decides to mess with him and see how he reacts.  Cold can of soda against the belly... kid groans... and then there goes the hand.

I've taken to avoiding the news for the most part lately.  It's a bunch of people arguing about the best way to lie to you, since as you already know, you're being lied to by lying liars who lie a lot.  Nobody is going to cut a damned thing - ever.  The budget for the United States, in any given year, will never be lower than it was the year before.  It will never happen.&nbsp

As the past week has transpired, I've noticed that the loyalty of SEC fans to their conference is nothing short of creepy.  It's almost like they're still pissed about that 'War of Northern Aggression' or something.  (Hint: They are.)  I suppose there's something to be said for the idea that a losing team might feel better if the team that beat them were to go on and win it all.&
