The Chargers have signed Brady Leaf as a free agent after the draft. Insert your joke here.

John McCain repeated his "Iran is helping Al Qaeda in Iraq" falsehood for something like the 3rd time today, despite already getting publicly corrected on it by Joltin' Joe.

Romney only had a few % points lead in the polls and there wasn't much seperation between him and Giuliani, Mccain, Huckabee and Thompson in any of the polls, especially considering you could look at certain polls and see any of the other 4 ahead going into actual voting. So I find it really hard to consider him a front runner with like 25% of the GOP poll votes. Thats not a front runner, thats a guy who's in the lead because the party vote is split in several directions. "I only disagree with you because I'm redefining the word 'front-runner' to mean what I want it to instead of defining it as the guy who has more votes and delegates than anyone else (a.k.a. the actual definition)." -Marvin Romney had ZERO voes and delegates when he was the supposed front runner because they hadn't even started voting yet so I dont see how he fits the actual definition. I was going to give you he was a front runner for the last quarter of 07 but if thats the definition of front runner than there wasn't a front runner at all at that point. And when the primaries started he was 2nd in Iowa and 2nd in New Hampshire and never held the most delegates even when he managed to win insignificant states like Utah. You might want to look up which Republican won Wyoming and had the early lead in delegates. Just because the media decides not to cover some of the contests seriously, doesn't mean they didn't happen. EDIT: I see you added Wyoming to "insignificant states". Why exactly is it insignificant? Because Glenn Beck and the rest of the mainstream media say so, or because it saves your claims about Romney not ever having the lead?

holy shit missed this the first time XD Its true though. Of course, because Glenn Beck focuses on talking about the important issues and asking the pertinent questions. Like, for instance, what are the odds that Obama is, in fact, the antichrist? If it wasn't for Glenn Beck and his hard-hitting brand of journalism these sorts of issues would never get the time they deserve in the media. You watch Olberman don't you? Glenn was laughing when he asked that question as a joke to finish up an interview with that pastor. I really hate Media Matters, and Olberman wouldnt have a show without them so..yeah. Extra special bonus from Media Matters - Glenn thinks Hillary might be the Antichrist too (from 2006) Yeah that damn Media Matters, transcribing what people say accurately and word-for-word! If only they would leave people like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly alone for their loyal viewers to enjoy and not expose the things they are saying to people who don't watch them! I'm sure Beck was also laughing (at least on the inside) when he asked Keith Ellison to prove that he's not working with "our enemies".

Mark Warner should be Obama's running mate. Lots of experience, would probably add a state for Obama, doesn't affect the balance of power in the senate, and gives himself something to do while he decides whether or not to run himself in 2012 or 2016.

Why should anyone have sympathy for a corporation? "Oh boo-hoo they won't get to post record profits again this quarter because those mean fer'iners won't do business the American way!!"

I wouldn't normally drag over posts from The Green Board, but one of the funniest comments I've seen was Jobber mentioning that his mom is going to write in Lou Dobbs for president if she doesn't like the candidates.

The people in the top bracket obviously need that 5% so they can purchase new HDTVs to watch Glenn Beck.

Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in "God's Standards"

Really stupid rule. On the other hand though even if the rule didn't exist odds are the Rose Bowl would have stuck with tradition. Personally I don't think it's a stupid rule, it prevents a bowl from losing its anchor team (who will theoretically draw the most fans) while another bowl loads up at its expense.

I imagine this has been mentioned before, but the Rose Bowl could not have picked Georgia unless the Sugar Bowl allowed them to.

Did ABC name their #1 player on their "Top 25 College Players" list? I went for a run and have only watched a bit of the game.

28-14 Michigan now NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is that Mellencamp-Chevy crap doing back on my TV?

I'm loving this game so far.

Michigan stuffs Florida at the 3, then blocks the field goal. Huge play for Michigan gets the ball to Florida's 1 yard line. A lot of people seemed to think this one wouldn't even be competitive. EDIT: and then Mike Hart of all people fumbles. Still 14-14.

Jon Heyman's absurd HOF ballot/ranking In: Gossage, Dawson, Morris, Rice, Concepcion, Parker Out: Raines, Blyleven, McGuire (who has ranked last and wrote up a preachy, sanctimonious paragraph about) Heyman: I worship home runs, unless you might have done steroids to hit them.

The NFL's press release should have included a photo of Goodell bent over with a huge dick labelled "Comcast" protruding from his anal cavity. Because that's pretty much what happened here.

But...he hit lots of home runs!!!!!!... *looks at McGuire's total* ...and didn't look bad in front of a congressional humiliation panel.

I'm surprised the worst nomination hasn't even been mentioned yet: Oh, and I'd be willing to bet Radiohead's new album was deliberately ignored due to them fucking the recording industry up the ass.

Any chance of the Patriots easing off at the end went out the window when Shula and the Dolphins started in with their shit. The Patriots want that record if for no other reason than to rub it in their faces.

I don't. In terms of the literal birth of Christ, Christmas has nothing to do with it. According to the Bible's account of Jesus carving his bloody way out of Mary's tiny virgin cooter, he wasn't born in the winter. The general scholarly consensus is that he was probably born in the spring. And not in 1 AD, more like 3-6 AD. The Catholic church basically made the whole holiday up. Why, you might reasonably ask? Because the early Christian church was pretty brilliant at incorporating aspects of other religions into itself in order to get the pagans to be more cooperative with the converting (like recasting the Germanic horned god into being the Devil). Christmas was originally the very pagan holiday of Yule, held at the same time (winter solstice), with many of its traditions still around today (the Yule log). So basically Christmas might as well be about reindeer and polar bears drinking Coke as be about Jesus, since the entire holiday is a human invention. If you believe the Star of Bethlehem aspect of the story, then sometime around the spring of 4 or 5 AD (can't remember which) is considered a strong candidate. Chinese astronomical records indicate that they observed a fairly large, bright nova star in appoximately the location where the Star of Bethlehem should have been located.

Inquire about why they don't wish for you to have a Happy New Year. Exactly. "Happy holidays" has been used as a shorthand for "merry Christmas and a happy new year" for as long as I can remember, certainly long before someone came up with the "War on Christmas".

What I want to know is why blatantly breaking the rules of the game (spitballs, emery boards, etc.) is considered totally meaningless, but nebulously "cheating" (steroids, which don't actually involve cheating the written rules of the game, or at least until recently) is the worst violation known to man?

Terrance Newman has been warned by the NFL for "threatening" John Kitna.
