Politics, culture, and whatever else crosses our NOVA minds
Hallelujah!
CSU’s Messiah - Jason Smith - played like a total stud in the Border War (basketball version). What a great game. Not just a double-double, but a HUGE double-double. 20+ rebounds and a couple of monster dunks. I’m a proud Ram fan tonight. The Rams played like they should have played the entire season, despite the show put on by Wyoming’s two incredible guards - best tandom in the country, in my view.
Huge win for us Ram fans.
The Senate has agreed to schedule a vote later this week on who should lose the Super Bowl.
While the Republican leaders have shown usual neo-con attitudes towards strength and pressure to allow the best team to win, the wise and progressive Democratic leaders have opted for a diplomatic summit between the head coaches to reach agreement on the easiest way to avoid a conflict to make sure everyone loses, but will live to play another day. Or die.
Breaking the chains of decades of tradition, the Democratic party sees their ‘new direction’ as a breakthrough in the useless violence and hopes that such a discussion between the teams can resolve what has traditionally been a harsh conflict between two competing factions that occurs every year.
In what seems to be an annual event, these men- often from differing areas- meet to battle each other in obvious sectarian violence, and while the world watches the trauma increases on both sides. Also, as a men-only event, many women’s rights groups have engaged in the edges of this potentially raging conflict. Their tactics are among the strongest- which may assure their victory- as they have adorned uniforms that consist of tight clothing and short skirts, most often camoflaged in the surroundings of the front that they are dancing (AHEM) patrolling in.
Rumors have it that often these sides spend weeks and months in secret meetings and preliminary practice exercises to attempt to insure their success.
Both sides are said to have many supporters who refuse to engage in the battle, but secretly support the efforts of one side or the other. Some make their support openly with money and support, and some secretly from the comfy cushions of their neo-con, Repulican Lazy-Boy recliners, like rich, fat-cat Monday morning quarterbacks. (this reporter isn’t sure what a “quarterback” is)
Democrats in Congress have issued lengthy condemnations of this battle, and openly support one side or the other, but won’t say which one really, just that one side shouldn’t play very long.
Republican leaders, in typical fashion, have chosen a side, but some members have not decided whether they really want to win, or maybe if they just want the game to continue to play.
This reporter has sources in both of the actual coaches offices, and both sides have said they expect victory and want to do everything possible to achieve it.
As one source said, “If you are going to fight, you have to fight to WIN !! Anything else, any thing less, anything other than a battle to the finish with our team standing as the winner…. we owe victory to our fans, our friends, our family….”
This reporter will add- we owe that to our country.
Every time I get excited about CSU football, I have to suffer through my Rams having a monumental melt-down, which is what happened on Thursday night. 21-3 at halftime. A comfortable lead, on the road. No way they could lose. Wrong!
In the recent past, it’s usually been a melt-down against the Buffs down in Boulder. This year, we finally hold off the hated Buffs, and then blow a lead against the always solid Falcons and their maddening wishbone. Makes my blood boil. Especially since I couldn’t actually watch this game, thanks to the Mountain West Conference’s less-than-savvy media strategy, which includes broadcasting MWC games on the “Mtn” network, which I’m sure gets beamed into a few dozen households somewhere.
Frustrated here in NOVA…
Isn’t there already enough suffering in the world ?
Terrell Owens has learned the importance of playing nice — at least in print.
The outspoken Dallas receiver is set to release his first children’s book in mid-November. But the book, titled “Little T Learns to Share,” will be a far cry from the tell-all book T.O. released in July.
Little T, the main character, refuses to share his football but eventually learns he can’t enjoy his new ball without friends.
This woman deserves a medal, and the kids who left the little girl alone need a butt-kicking.
DENVER (AP) - A baby girl dangling by one hand from a third-floor balcony was spared death when she fell into the arms of a neighbour who waited underneath, police said Sunday.
The nine-month-old’s mother had left her with her 10-and 13-year-old brothers Saturday while she went to work, police said. The boys left the apartment, and the girl crawled through a door they had left open.
The girl was hanging over a concrete sidewalk 5,6 metres above the ground when neighbour Mary Bussey and her son, Brandon Bussey, noticed her, police said.
Mary Bussey waited under the child while her son ran upstairs, and the girl fell into her arms.
And this ass needs to get ready for a STIFF fine from the NFL.
Tennessee defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was ejected early in the third quarter Sunday after he kicked Dallas center Andre Gurode in the face.
…
. Gurode’s helmet came off, and Haynesworth, standing over him, used his right foot to kick Gurode in the head.
“What I did was disgusting,” the Titans’ Albert Haynesworth said of his stomp on Cowboys center Andre Gurode’s face.
Gurode said they hadn’t been talking or having any exchanges that led to Haynesworth kicking him twice. He received stitches above his forehead and beneath his eye.
that with Monday Night Football not on ABC, with Al Michaels working for NBC…. the terrorists have won.
Is it because I’m a lesbian ?
Doggone it. I never have enough time on my hands to riot in the streets over a simple, stupid comment by the Pope. Darn.
Of course, if I did, I’d be doing this. I’d rather flyfish than riot.
The Pope did say one thing that makes some sense.
“God,” the emperor, as the pope quoted, said, “is not pleased by blood — and not acting reasonably is contrary to God’s nature.”
Guess these chaps are screwed!
