The Real BCS Championship

AITOOW can't believe people are saying the LSU-Alabama game was boring? Every series was make or break. Team defense was exhibited for once. People stayed in their gaps. RB's tried to knock defenders out. The first facemask penalty by grabbing the back of the helmet was called in my lifetime. Nobody took a play off. One coach almost lost the game because he rotated two QB's. One (supposedly infallible) did lose the game because of at least four miscalculations (ie putting in a lame punt returner, not using time outs, questionable play calls, not realizing certain substitutions revealed what play would be called). There were blocked kicks, goal line stands, big hits, guys playing with injuries, an OT. A mouthy CB got his come uppance. Other mouthy CB's got burned. The refs let late hits, pass interference, holding calls go. A boisterous crowd of hillbillies went home dejected. The only negative was the ridiculous ending that the NCAA uses for OT. Oh, and Gary Danielson's pathetic grand standing, poor analysis, and bragging (after the play) that he was thinking X would happen.

This Week...Not So Weak

AITOOW thought that there was less nonsense on the Sunday morning talk shows? I'm A Poor Ass Host still asked loaded questions and relied on false options and straw men, but, the rest of the panel (even Puffington) were adult enough to not to resort to rhetoric. They even turned their venom on their own compatriots at times. BTW - who does her makeup? Lindsey Lohan? Her cheeks looked like they were hit with a chimney sweep's dust broom. It was also good to see Liz Chaney call out Na-Bob on the quality of the issues he chose to debate. The subsequent pile on and his unease at the criticism was overdue. Maybe this will forestall the Who Wore It Better segment they have planned for next week. Although, I assume it will be called Who Wore It Worse and it will only apply to Republican politicians.

BTW - Win Win is an entertaining little flick. The casting director or director or screenwriter (or all) did a good job creating likable characters. I do wonder if the original script ended at the dinner table, but, the studio made them wrap up the loose ends. It may have been more interesting to let the viewer decide how this would all work out.

Original Fash-sin

AITOOW thinks that burquas/head dresses might have been originally a method of keeping desert sand out of ones hair rather than a modesty conveyance?

Flip Flop You Don't Stop

AITOOW thinks Mitt Romney is the Republican John Kerry? And we know what happen to him.

Games People Play

AITOOW thinks people are ambivalent about math because the solutions have no significance? They are just games. The answers do not have any value to human existence. They are just tools to sharpen ability. People feel they are acquiring knowledge with some utility when they participate in the sciences or liberal arts. That is why they are more popular.

Mean Spirits

AITOOW thinks that philanthropists/benevolents/liberals know that the agendas they advance are insupportable or false? Ultimately meaningless in the end. The difference between them and conservatives is that conservatives have the decency not to propagate the deception.

Ass-isted Suicide

AITOOW is intrigued by how low this mud walrus will sink? So envious of the attention her sisters sham marriages brought them, she has to fake a relationship to participate/steal the spotlight. It's really pathetic that this pathology is allowed to escalate when millions of people are witness to it and could step in and demand psychiatric care. I guess it is understandable that no one wants to step in and help her. She is unworthy of it. Or maybe her fans are similarly afflicted. I wonder if the cruelest blow of all is coming - an exodus of the oglers from this freak show. Funny how the divorce happened just after the re-airing of the wedding ceremony. If this was just a ratings ploy or one time money grab, I think it was a miscalculation. I see it burning alot of good will. Can't wait for the spin/damage control.
