The Robfather

I can actually understand why Hillary would stumble and Obama would gain. At the end of the day, Hillary's campaign can be summed up simply as: Vote for me, I'm the wife of the last Democratic president. It is nostalgic notion and aren't democratic voters looking for change? Well, if so, they'd go with Obama. On another subject, Alan Keyes got more airtime in the Des Moines Register debate than John McCain or Rudy Giuliani. Lovely.

I really hate the lineup of games this weekend.

Union rep on ESPN bitching about not getting an advanced copy of the report.

Of course they'd lead off with a big name...

Why the hell was Alan Keyes allowed in the debate? All of a sudden he's running for prez? Since when? Des Moines Register needs to account for this. Just strange. Now I hear Kucinich isn't being allowed at their democratic debate, who at least has been running for some time now, so what gives? The questions were stupid! What New Year's resolution would you recommend for one of your rivals? Huh? Is it more important to have a nominee that is socially conservative or fiscally conservative? That is a false premise. The time limits were insane. At least Fred had the good sense to not play hand raising games, being boxed in by some global warming question. We want to hear candidates explaining their views and how they are different from one another. It isn't that difficult, but this moderator and debate actually made the CNN you tube farce look respectable. Bah.

It made $26 million opening weekend (Narnia got about 66 mil as a comparison). Not too good considering it was the only major release. I found the film rather flat, the pacing was slow, and the acting was stiff (considering the talent involved, that was unforgivable). The Magisterium types were laughably over the top, but at the same time, I'm at a loss to understand what is so bad about their teachings. Don't talk about the dust? That is the big law of the oppressive theocracy? It just doesn't seem like anything worth getting worked up about. Yeah yeah, they want to stop Lyra and her friends, get that last golden compass, and something to do with parallel words. Oh yeah, they kidnap children! No motivation is given to why the witches are injecting themselves in the conflict to help free kidnapped kids. Nothing really about who they are, why they're in the story. Just a lame-o deus ex machina to help the climax of the film move along. This is on the lower end of the epic genre, imo. Too bad, I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised when I saw it... but it sucked.

That was a very good match.

Steph looked real good tonight.

ESPN says Vick gets 23 months

The trailer looked pretty good.

They came back from commercial break and went right back to one

They should do like Wrestling and leave all the games as one team vs. a mystery opponent.

I hate how they're pretending they don't know the matchups already

Guess I'll watch it.... doesn't seem to be getting good reviews, though

As a Saints fan, I am disgusted right now.

Sean Payton again gets cute with his play calling and gives the fucking ball back to the Bucs! Run it up the gut, worst comes to worst, punt the damn ball. Bah!

Lions look to be about done. It doesn't get easier for them on the schedule. Vikings was a must win, really. They got Cowboys next week, then San Diego. I don't see them making the playoffs as a wildcard. They'll probably finish the season 7-9.

Ok, I was thinking about Austin-Vince... When Vince was revealed as the Higher Power, I seem to recall Eric Bischoff letting the cat out of the bag on Nitro. How did he know?

No one will even remember the hostage stuff from Friday by the middle of next week. It was a one day story and will not have any impact on the election.

Those fools needed to be throwing into the endzone. I do not understand the play on first down.

I hope this game goes to OT

THis is a great way to end the day of football. Hell of a pass there.

hmmm... so, if should Hawaii win tonight, Kansas gets the bounced?

From what I've read, this weekends play is hurting Georgia with the computer polls.
