And that bothers you more than mismanagement of the country. Okay then. Piss off. You're the sort of know-it-all bitch that got Democrats in a position of having to recover in the first place, and represent the same attitude that keeps things deadlocked and the American people pissed off. It's about them, not about you.

I wasn't aware that wine and gambling turned someone into a degenerate before I read this thread. For that, I am grateful.

Boy, a lot of you guys jump to conclusions. I'd enjoy a Democratic win tonight just to see Czech squirm. These election threads always bring out the worst in us. Some of the crap I'm seeing from all sides here is, well, crap.

Oh man, I just saw the story on CNN.com where our governor (Mark Sanford) couldn't vote because he didn't have his registration card. Wow.

The marriage amendment passed with a 75-25 margin or something, but our Republican governor, lieutenant governor, and at least this district's Republican congressman are in serious trouble where all three should have won handily. I should take a nap for an hour or two, because these results aren't coming in fast enough for me. I'm a bundle of nerves.

I don't think any commentary can be worse than the Deep South Wrestling crew. We get that on Sunday nights at 11 here on Comcast Sports Net and it's brutal to watch. Incredible that it's a WWE product. Yes, something so bad that it makes Raw look like a quality program.

I can't wait to see all of the good, wholesome victory parties that will result when the anti-gay marriage amendment passes by a huge margin here. "IT AIN'T RIGHT!"

We can only have one huge fracas every six weeks or so.

You east coast elitist.

Christian sounded awfully busy tonight.

From DeathValleyDriver:

That would be included in the "Iraqis coming together" part. Freedom's a hell of a drug, and the Iraqis know that all these assholes coming in from Syria and Iran are trying to cop their fix.

And that's a completely non-ironic use of an emoticon. Uh oh, we seem to have derailed a thread about tonight's masterful wrestling telecast.

But it's (TNA) supported by much more solid ringwork. Each wrestler does more than the few basic moves. That alone gives it an advantage.

All right, time to whoop some ass and take some names. IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG, AGENT THURSDAY Louisville at Rutgers FRIDAY Western Michigan at Central Michigan SATURDAY Minnesota at Michigan State Purdue at Illinois Wisconsin at Iowa MOTHERFUCKING TENNESSEE at Arkansas Iowa State at Colorado Pittsburgh at Connecticut Miami at Maryland Nebraska at Texas A&M Washington State at Arizona State Oregon State at UCLA Wake Forest at Florida State Oregon at USC Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Tennessee/Arkansas game? 43 Tiebreak #2: How many passing yards will Oregon's Dennis Dixon have against USC? 213

Fine, bang Sable or something. I can't figure everything out!

You know, if I were one of the reporters at Art Shell's press conference, I'd just say "you know what, man? Just go. Figure out a way to win, we'll totally leave you alone." Dude looks and sounds so depressed.

Eh, it's all good in the eyes of the law. You'd get some props from all your buddies too.

I'll vouch for that. I've also been using the resources of YouTube and other such sites to check out stuff from the indies. I don't know about any of the angles or storylines, but the matches range from decent to pretty damn good. Missing Raw doesn't bug you so much when you get your wrestling fix from somewhere else. Watch TNA even, if you dare. It's a different kind of stupid from WWE stupid.

Are you an AARP member, Hasbeen1.

I'd love to see how they manage to squeeze the usual 40 minutes of Sportscenter material out of this snoozefest.

Pull up roots and withdraw. Seriously. I'd also admit it was a huge mistake, use terminology such as "invasion" and "occupation" during the statement, and wish the Iraqis well. I'd continue to supply the government with monetary aid for security measures and humanitarian ends, but the military presence would vanish. Call it cutting and running all you want, but keep in mind that saying "get out of Iraq" doesn't mean the same as "get out of the Middle East." We've had lots of servicemen in the region for years, so painting a withdrawl from Iraq as a concession to radicals would be flawed. Going back to prewar troop levels in the region would simply be a start though. Keep in mind that al-Queda is pissed that we're in the region in the first place, but it's difficult to chart a plan beyond leaving Iraq. You'd have to see what would happen in the first 90 days or so after the withdrawl. I'd like to think that the violence would dissipate, the Iraqis would get ahold of themselves, and they'd come together in the way that we originally intended when this mess started. All we're doing right now is spraying more lighter fluid on an already out-of-control barbeque.

Now the Raiders defense depresses me also. My father puts it best whenever this happens: Why the hell would you take a swing or try to start a fight in a football game? How can you hurt anyone when they're all wearing cups and pads?

But I think she was unconscious when it happened, so it doesn't count. If it does, you're a freak.

What?! Fuck! Great, now I'll have to watch the joke that is Fox Sports to see Pac-10 games. I never get them on ABC due to the whole regional thing.
