I HATE this new McDonalds commercial Now Playing: Chargers vs Colts Topic: misc
Most bad commercials are, to me, simply a minor annoyance. But after viewing the newest (at least to ME) I was screaming, rating, raving ... and had to post immediately.
Young girl (5? 7?) askes where breakfast comes from. Mother concocts fanciful tale of gants an magic wands and crap. Girl the asks where SHE came from. Wha Whaaaa.
Why in the WORLD would you not simply explain food production to the child. Farmers. Harvesting. Hard work. Instead she's told food production is "magic" (which i guess on SOME level it IS) And as an adult she'll waste it. Not appreciate it. And she'll be one of THOSE people.
Hey Michigan ... Now Playing: Where Love Has Gone Topic: Football
THAT'S what a Heisman Trophy candidate QB looks like.
Hey NW .... why didn't you show up???
Hey Auburn ... Congrats. I was wrong
Hey SEC ... nice job!
Hey Gamecocks ..... god luck!
Hey Boise State ... welcome back.
My tops:
1. Oregon.
2. TCU
3. Stanford
4. Ohio State ... one KR away
Best of the rest: Boise (good but not great,) Alabama ... still, Oklahoma, Mizzou, FSU.
So who'll play where? Five Bowls ... let's look at the slots
1. BCS Title Game ... I still wanna see Oregon/TCU. Go Gamecocks
So who else do we pick from? The champions of the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, and Southeastern conferences will have automatic berths in one of the participating bowls through the 2013 regular season. The champion of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, or the Western Athletic Conference will earn an automatic berth in a BCS bowl game if either: Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or, Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.
That give us Florida State (ACC), U Conn (Big East), Wisconsin, Oklahome (B12), SC (SEC). That leaves three more slots which will be at large. Ohio State, Stanford, Auburn.
so here we go
Orange: Florida State vs al #4 U Conn. Lo how the mighty have fallen
Rose: Wisconsin vs al#1 .... woud LOVE to see a neutral rematch, but they'll go with Stanford for a butt ugly red on red game.
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs al#3 Auburn
Sugar: South Carolina vs al#2 Ohio State (would rather see them in the Orange, the only one Tress hasn't been to)
Quite a bit of footbal to be played but there you have it. If you want the way it'll REALLY happn:
BCS: Oregon vs Auburn ... go Ducks.
Orange: FSU v U Conn ... snorefest
Rose Wisconsin v TCU ... slugfest
Fiesta: Oklahoma v LSU ... Les Miles gets schooled
Sugar: Stanford vs Ohio State . ANOTHER ugly red on red game!
Just how stooopid IS she? Now Playing: Salt Topic: Media
just heard a clip from an interview with Michelle Obama which is to air sometimes this weekend. If I heard it correctly, and I'm pretty sure I did, she just said "it is my understanding every president in history lost The House during mid-term elections." Really? REALLY?
Idiot child GWB didn't. Neither did his daddy. Neither did Ronaldus MAgnus. Amazingly neither did Jimmuh Cahtah. How freakin' wrong can she be? And will the media call her on it?
from the Blogfather, FROM 1932: “All the world criticizes them and they don’t give a damn….Moralists cry over them, criminologists dissect them, writers shoot epigrams at them, prophets foretell the end of them, and they never move. Seventeen brilliant books analyze them every month; they don’t read them .… But that’s all right. The Americans don’t give a damn; don’t need to; never did need to. That is their salvation.”
Not really "violence" Now Playing: Death in Love Topic: Media
but it advocates disgusting behavior nonetheless,from The Nation’s Mark Ames:
Anytime anyone says anything libertarian, spit on them. Libertarians are by definition enemies of the state: they are against promoting American citizens’ general welfare and against policies that create a perfect union. Like Communists before them, they are actively subverting the Constitution and the American Dream, and replacing it with a Kleptocratic Nightmare
This is just TOO good Now Playing: Death in Love Topic: Politics
The "Smart" Diplomacy put forth by the "smartest President ever" - you know, the ones we've been waiting for - is duped by a fake. That's right: in Afghanistan we've been negotiating ... and paying off ... the WRONG GUY!
STILL MORE: Reader James Ellison writes: “I have one word for the administration: coulrocracy. Government by clowns.” Heh.
And from Pamela Geller: If ever there was a news story that is a metaphor of the Obama presidency, it's this one. An imposter for the imposter. A fraud for a fraud.
