One of the few times that Maddox's "hey look at me, I'm abrasive and outspoken" act made me laugh.

It's funny to see "Suggest Meat" as a GC topic on the main index though.

Oh, and Boise State has more than a fighting chance of beating Georgia. Seriously.

What?! I'd put Texas ahead of Tennessee easily at this point, and probably a couple of others if I started my research early this year. Really poorly written article. How do you fuck up UGA's name? Oga? The fuck? He's right about Tennessee/Florida though. Fuck Florida, because no post mentioning them is complete with out a "fuck Florida."

"Strictly Popickanda!"

Eh, I figure the leaders talk about that kind of stuff during downtime, casually. It'd be impossible to not talk about it amongst themselves especially after today.

Fuck that, Pauly Shore isn't given nearly enough credit. Dude's a riot.

Pirates of any kind are intensely overrated.

To be honest, I don't put Terrorism above matters involving an entire continent with hundreds of millions of people and the potential self-baking of our own planet. Yeah it's important and all, but at least the people who have suffered terror attacks in the West thus far have been able to resume normal lives at some point. In parts of Africa (we're talking whole groups of countries here), there's not much besides famine and despair. I can also easily see that becoming a future main hotbed of terrorists should conditions remain intolerable and discontent rises, which it already is to a lesser degree than the Middle East. Aiding that continent in building its own infrastructure and sense of order would go an incredibly long way in warding off potential future problems of many varieties. Outside of the war zone in Iraq, there isn't that much practical concern over something that may happen anywhere in the world only once or twice a year. I'm not advocating complacency by any means, but I can easily understand Blair's rationale in setting such an agenda for the G8 conference. Also, since it's the eight most industrialized nations in the world, there's obvious potential in the continent of Africa. It also makes sense that these industrialized nations would address some of the possible side effects of their activities.

My understanding is that Shi'ites would be more strict and fundamentalist simply because they don't accept non-descendants of Mohammed to be the true leaders of Islam.

A few days late, but whatever. I think it's purty anyway.

Hey, CE is all right now. I can actually have a one-on-one argument in there instead of ten-on-one these days. Not as active, but I've got CNN and MSNBC to give me 24-hour stimulation*. * CNN and MSNBC figures do not include time lost on bullshit missing child and other "human interest" stories; actual figures are closer to 10 hours a day of stimulation.

Okay, a few hours later and it seems that any talk of this NOT being al-Queda has been quietly brushed under the carpets. I guess it's easier to rally people against a familiar foe rather than a new one.

I don't see how anyone can sensibly defend any kind of "terrorist group" in wrestling, especially if they've also seen the fan pictures from the show.

The supposed posting that claimed responsibility has been put through the wringers during the day, and it's showing to contain errors (most notably incorrect Koran quotations) that the real al-Queda wouldn't commit. They shoulda known it wouldn't be this easy.

I'm totally buying all of this.

You all need to stop quoting so much.

Dude, you're Czech. It's so obvious. That's why I give Czech so many chances, because you're the name he uses when he wants to post like he really can. KEEP THE MYTH

"Shounen Bat strikes again in new hit-and-run incident!"

Linda Cohn and Andrea Kramer. Rawr.

"TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Fuck, I missed this and the five replays that aired between then and now. Oh well, I'll catch one of the other 3,485 replays before next week.

There's gotta be a way to accelerate the training of the army and other security forces. I know we're stretched already over there and no more soldiers means static manpower pools, but maybe a gradual switch from occupier to advisor is in order. Maybe that's what the "when they stand up, we stand down" plan entails in its details. I certainly hope so. We need to be out of there before 2008.

Hey look, all you did was repeat what someone else already said and spit out a pointless insult. Y'all suckas need to start facing reality and stop esconcing yourselves in an endless quest to find silver linings when there are few, and those are far between. We're not totally beyond repair yet, but as I said, in a couple of years we might be. I don't think it's nuts to expect a radical change after continuing this current course.
