I found it interesting that, when you sorted the sheet by % of returns with charitable deductions, the states who gave the "most" were at the bottom, and the states that gave the "least" were at the top. Every state that was ranked from 40-50 on the "Generosity Index" was in the top 21 states for % of returns with charitable deductions, while 9 of the top 15 in the "Generosity Index" were ranked in the bottom 10 in my query. Something's a bit fishy there...I'll have to have a closer look later to figure out exactly what. I also would like to see exactly what those contributions went toward.

The BCS bowl money is split more or less equally amongst all teams in the participant's conference. An individual team, even the participant, will only see about 8-12% of that money.

1 (1) USC 2 (2) Oklahoma 3 (3) Auburn 4 (4) Cal 5 (5) Wisconsin 6 (7) Texas 7 (6) Utah 8 (9) Georgia 9 (11) Michigan 10 (12) Boise State Motherfucker, I knew this was going to happen. Texas jumped from the 9-10 range to 4th on a lot of the computers, and Utah dropped down from the 4-5 range to the 6-8 range. They now hold a very comfortable margin on Utah for 6th, and are actually just barely behind Wisconsin for 5th. Barring a Texas loss, it looks like Utah is going to have to rely on the generosity of the Fiesta Bowl folks for a BCS bid. Tennessee got dropped all the way down to 15th.

Good poker room managers are VERY scarce. The ratio of good floorpeople to poker rooms is less than 1. My favourite casino would have to be Bellagio. There's just an unbelievable feeling of comfort playing in that casino. Of course, for cocktail waitresses, nowhere I've been compares to the Orleans.

My God, they'll give ANYONE a "Show your tits" chant.

Time for a nap.

OMG, the slo-mo was AWESOME.

OU picked up about .02 on Auburn.

Audio track: "R-K-O!!!" Crowd: "..."

Enough with the talk?? What kind of bizarro show am I watching???

What, I need to choose??? | | | v Eh, I'll say Bettman. Really no redeeming qualities.

That last number is where they were last week.

Crosby wins? Eh. Best of a bad bunch of rookie position players in the AL. Takatsu had a much better season, even if he's as much of a rookie as Ichiro and Nomo were.

Not to nitpick or anything, but Auburn would still have to beat Tennessee in the SEC title game to get an automatic berth.

vs. Savage, WrestleMania V vs. Flair, Bash at the Beach 94 vs. Warrior, WrestleMania VI vs. Rock, WrestleMania XVIII vs. Slaughter, WrestleMania VII vs. Orndorff, Big Event vs. Hansen, AJPW vs. Bossman, SNME vs. Goldberg, Nitro vs. Lesnar, SmackDown He had decent SNME matches against Race and Bad News Brown as well.

EVEN MORE horseshit. The players who are getting bumped are having their development messed around with. Without the experience they would have gained by playing at a higher level this year, their careers could very well be permamently off-track. Future NHLers are being deprived of prime playing time at a time when they really need it. Not to mention the guys who are now out of hockey and may be forced to retire. Plus, you said it was rich guys knocking off rich guys, not rich guys knocking off kinds-sorta-borderline-well-off guys.

That better not fucking happen, or we're going to see the Big XII North champion in a BCS bowl. Potentially with a 7-5 record. I may have an anyeurism.

The second-last episode had Snake asking Spike to the prom, but ditching her when Michelle asked him to go with her later. That's about it, as far as I remember.

More horseshit. European players make about 5-8% what NHL players do, on average. Average players make a bit more than what I make ($70K/yr), which isn't a heck of a lot for someone who's on the road all the time putting his body on the line. Certainly not enough to make someone rich. Do you even think about these statements before you make them?

There are only two types of people -- New Yorkers, and those who can rent a one-bedroom apartment for less than two grand a month.

And his own recording studio. I want Beltran on the Cubs, but 10 year? ANYTHING could happen between now and a freaking decade from now. Big contracts like this don't pan out. Look at Mark Henry for christ's sake. Mark Henry was a piece of shit from day one. Beltran can probably give them some value for the first four or five years of his contract, but who knows how fast his skills will diminish once he passes age 32?

Allegedly, since they never signed a contract, they don't owe him squat. Then Wally should sue their asses off. Although, given his financial situation, he may not be able to afford it. Joe Garagiola Jr. is a slimeball pig.

Presumably, "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is a Christian notion only.

That's horseshit. The team had better still be on the hook for his salary.
