Nor does posting as "proof" the results of a web survey (not a scientific poll) that were without doubt teabagged by the likes of #tcot and have zero resemblance to actual polling data.

I'm not enthusiastic about Kagan, but I don't really see a lot of negatives to her. She's the kind of nomination I expect from the least-bad candidate we chose. She's not half as worrisome as the SCOTUS appointees made when the most-bad candidates win.

Holy shit, Italy. Way to represent! The last 15 minutes of that game.... Hah - I was locked out of the boards over the weekend after I updated my e-mail address on my profile. Looking at the time I posted this, it was about 3 or 4 minutes before Italy scored their first goal and made their half-ass...

It's a shame the US has to score two goals for every one the other team scores to win due to corruption. I could give a damn about opportunities. How about some fair play? When you take care of your own business, you generally take questionable calls out of the equation. Like boog said, that offsid...

First, OMFG I can't believe that goal. On to round 2.

Second, the bad and questionable calls don't piss me off nearly as much as missed opportunities.

Everything I have heard about the US game was just how everyone felt that the US players didn't seem to really even know they should be showing any concern. They said something about how they didn't seem to care that they were even behind most of the game. Sure, the call at the end of the game migh...

That was just one of I'm not sure how many crap calls. Even so, if our defenders hadn't played so soft early on, it wouldn't have come down to a ref's incompetence.

The faces of French fans during the last 8 minutes of the Mexico game gave me some chuckles.

Like I said, he just banished the flag for this appearance. Probably just to send a message directly to Kilmoll.

As a hint, there is something missing from the background. Something that this shithead has had some issues with already during his first and last term. Ahh yes, you nuts and your flag fetish.

Someone wake me up when Obama actually becomes a socialist. We should be so lucky. Obviously idiots like you wouldn't know a socialist if Karl Marx travelled through time, walked up and knocked Glenn Beck's cock out of your mouth.

People are unhappy with Republicans in charge so they vote 'em out. When the Democrats are in charge, they're unhappy with them, too. Solution? Republicans! Oh wait, these guys suck to.

I feel dirty about this whole debacle. My alma mater was much more concerned with $$ than anything else throughout this entire deal.

Just curious why you would go to that level of veganism (is that a word?) Is it health related, medical or just a lifestyle choice?

Ditto on lentils. They're super versatile. About 2 months ago, I decided to stop eating meat. Initially, I shifted to a pescatarian diet, keeping 2-3 servings of shrimp/fish a week, but after a couple of weeks I eliminated the seafood, too. I haven't entirely eliminated dairy and eggs (yet), but I d...

Just looked at a freeze-frame replay on the web. It's close. A matter of inches close, but yeah, it was a good call. It's even more impressive for how quickly and certainly the assistant made the call. I haven't been able to watch much of the Uruguay France game, but from the few disjointed minutes ...

I know the rules. I played the game for 18 years as a youth and young adult (I haven't spent years coaching kids ball, though - but I may get that opportunity if my kiddo takes an interest in the game). I agree that it's an often misunderstood rule - my wife's cousin who played for her university's ...

That was a crap call. I was a bit worried for Mexico that it would be extra costly during that last batch of corners for South Africa. On an unrelated note, I got a chuckle about 2 minutes into the match when ESPN's analyst described the first cross of the game to set up Mexico's first shot on goal ...

Conference Championship Game. If Beebe wasn't such a useless sloth, the Big 12 would have been keeping its member institutions happy and looking towards an expansion of our own, pursuing schools like Arkansas, TCU, Houston, Tulsa or even a Utah or Boise State (although the geography would complicate...

sportingnews.com has a good article on the shambling failburger that is Dan Beebe.

Yes, but unlike a sales tax which is levied only on the final sale of the product, a VAT is collected at each stage along the manufacturing / distribution process. Producers of raw materials, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers recoup the VAT they paid to acquire materials or goods as they're p...

Thhe PAC-X is going to be the same piece of shit Texas-centric nightmare the Big 12 ended up after the first couple seasons. All this happening right as USC gets the NCAA anal probe is about the worst thing for the future of west coast football imaginable. No offense to the Texas contingent here, b...

The tax is on the value added at the various stages of the product's life cycle. Value, reflected in the product's cost, is added at the manufacturing, distribution and retail stops on the product's way to your hot little hands. That value is taxed.

This leaves Mizzou in a precarious spot if the Big-10 chooses not to expand beyond 12 teams at this point. If they can successfully twist the Irish's arm into joining them, then the door is open again for Mizzou, but without ND, the Big-10 might be looking to Syracuse, Rutgers or Maryland ahead of t...

Already there's speculation that the PAC-16 could have 2 BCS bids each year. I think that is silly. Yeah, I heard Tommy Tuberville mention this in an interview earlier today. I don't know if he's just parroting something he'd heard, or if he's the genesis for that daft idea, but two automatic bids ...

As a Nebraska fan, I'm a bit undecided on how to feel about this. On one hand, I can't stand the Big-10 as it exists now, aside from a couple of schools. Depending on how far the Big10 (11(12(16?))) expansion goes, my feelings about this might change a bit. The potential for a pretty cool situation ...

So because something is accepted for a long period of time, we should never move beyond it?

In a word, Miir, no. The closest anyone gets to being a radical that I can think of is Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who is a self-described Democratic Socialist (to be clear, I don't consider him to be particularly "radical"). A staggering 1% of the Senators, and probably a similar n...

Oh, one thing I neglected to mention in my previous post is that the centrist and right-leaning Democrats are, in my eyes, as much a part of the problem as the Republicans are - for both administrations.

If you read an article on espndeportes.com.mx, about any American team, they don't translate the team names, they simply refer to them with the proper article (e.g. los Broncos, el Magic, and - gasp - los Suns).
