I'll use some kind of crayon font next time.

I've been getting it right then. At least we can say 'tour', too-ur, right up here. 'Tore'? Fuck that.

As an in-stater, I don't think Favre could have handled this any worse. I was never bothered by the 'retirement soap opera' of the past few offseasons as it was clearly an espn creation anyway. I was a bit saddened, and confused, when he retired so early in the offseason when he clearly had another good year or three left in the tank (and both Thompson and McCarthy made it vey clear they wanted him back). In light of the previous offseasons' media circus as to his retirement I felt that all rumors of his iminent return were just that, a creation to draw television interest, and defended them as such. To find out that he really did decide to return early in the retirement, the Packers bent over backwards to bring him back, and he changed his mind last-second is really irksome. The retirement was depressing but I (and most others) had gotten over it and are ready to watch football with a different quarterback after a decade and a half. To decide, again, to return after the team and the fanbase had clearly moved on is lame. Favre can bitch all he wants about getting released but he signed the contract, he retired too soon, he fucked the team over on a false return, and he made it official this late in the offseason. I don't see any reasonable way to defend him, nor any reason to. Also, how am I supposed to pronounce "bag"?

Not unlike Dick Cheney, Favre will tell his story tonight on Fox News.

Those 12 & 26 percents will all vote.

I'm just going to focus entirely on the Brewers. The Green Bay/Mississippi circus is too much dumb.

It is crucial that we rally the Iranian people behind Ahmadinejad.

Supporting a three trillion dollar nation-building effort & and hoping for a gigantic wall around the country also contradict conservatism.

How will the news that Iran's war games display was the equivalent of a podunk backyard on the 4th of July play out for John McCain's candidacy?

Lame.

Pearl Jam at Bonnaroo a few weeks ago was pretty good.

The Football Gods will not look kindly on Bronko Nagurski not being picked over the likes of Dexter Manley.

I don't think peoples' opinion as to this individual's gender quite fits the bill of "this idea" being "sickening."

It's very important that we care alot, though.

Biggest flood ever here in Viola, Wisconsin. The previous record was broken by at least a foot. What a mess.

The Governor of Montana says he can pump 40 (or more) billion gallons of oil out of that state and North Dakota. Too bad that's not ANWR or people might care.

I was starting to wonder when he'd get picked.

HE WENT TO HIS HOUSE! HE WENT TO HIS HOUSE! LISTEN TO ME! I CANT STOP SQUINTING!

It's something different so it has to be sickening. And frightening.

Isn't that the only 'weapon' in the Glen Beck arsenal, though?

There should have been no confusion as to what I meant up there. Hubert Humphrey is one of the worst polticians to ever emerge from the shitswamp. I am a big fan of Bobby Kennedy, his Indy speech might be the single greatest in American history, and Schlesinger's book remains the best piece of non-fiction I've read.

On to watch, etc.

Even worse than Humphrey.

I think the point is to not mindlessly repeat past mistakes.

And there's a ton of pre-1970s guys left.
