Let's shoot down THIS RNC talking point right now

RNC meme "Jack Abramoff is an 'equal opportunity' money giver, I mean he SHARED money with Republicans AND Democrats"

Jack Abramoff SHARED money with Democrats and Republicans kinda sorta the same way the Yankees and Red Sox have SHARED the World Series title since 1918...

Original article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily

OK, King, if we're nitpicking the officials...

As in Vince Young should have had more time, let's REALLY nitpick them on the phantom Texas TD. As Genivieve above says, no TD would have translated (with missed extra point considered) a field goal (maybe) for Texas, either way a loss of three points to the Texas side seems fair all things considered, I'm not saying they would or wouldn't have scored a TD on that drive but then again I'm crediting them with the field goal anyhoo despite makeable field goals missed by the Texas kicker later in the game.

So, Texas is attacking the SC side with two minutes to play down 38-30, NOT 38-33 which, after the Orange Bowl triple OT thriller and memories of Ohio State beating Miami for the title in OT could have made this game even better.....

All in all I think the Big Ten crew did a HORRID job for both teams and in the end had an affect on the final score, something you hope and pray against.

BTW, I had no dog in this fight, Lehigh was once again denied a BCS berth in spite of victories over Harvard, Yale AND Colgate

Condi Rice, asleep at the wheel

Condi Rice's "No one could EVER have imagined using planes as a weapon" blame deflector as national Security Advisor should have gotten her fired THEN.

Don't wait for OTHER verification this was discussed or could happen. It NEARLY happened in Washington DC in 1974....Really really

EVERYONE knew it COULD happen Condi

Oh, say can you care?

One of the most controversial anthems was done by Jose Feleciano before a World Series game in Detroit in 1968. At the time it was widely panned but now it's a very famous and well looked upon version.

Be careful how quick you are to condemn something, it might just be a classic one day.
