After forcing a three-and-out the Cardinals drove 49 yards before stalling at the 36, but Ben Graham's punt was downed at the 1.

King, you forgot what could've been the turning point of the game. Steelers have 2nd and 6 with 6 minutes left and a 6 point lead. What should the Steelers do here? Grind, grind, grind. They shouldn't have passed the ball again until they had 3rd and greater than 5 at any time on this drive. But here, on 2nd and 6, they line up in the shotgun (!) and have Roethlisberger run backward (!!) and get sacked. Now it's 3rd and 16 and they have to (?) pass the ball, which they do to no positive effect.

A 4-yard run on first down during that drive was a rousing success. Why were they passing??

After Reagan and GW Bush, the Republicans have zero credibility on the national debt. Not an iota.

I wish the Senate Dems (and one moderate Republican) would actually take charge and just run their version of the bill through. We don't have time for these failures to give us their "ideas" (i.e. whatever opposes what the Dems want to do).

If the guy who thought Sarah Palin would be a good VP candidate is laughing at you, you've probably done something right.

The kid delivers. Wow.

It turns out that there isn't one "best" martial art. You're right in a way by saying the UFC has created its own sort of martial art, but it seems the most successful fighters have at least one good grappling skill and at least one good striking skill. I don't think, though, that there's any one combination that works "best" as a rule.

From the grappling category you can find BJJ, wrestling, judo, sambo, and others. Striking could be boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, street fighting, even karate (which Lyoto Machida has brought to the forefront recently).

If I had to guess I'd say the BJJ/Muay Thai combination has worked best historically, although wrestlers have had plenty of success as well.

I'm excited by the evolution. No longer could a guy like Royce Gracie, an expert at just one discipline, dominate the sport.

Way beyond any right-wing corollary we can think of.

"I will remove judges from the Supreme Court quickly and their successors will refuse to sanction the attacks on religious faith."

Pat Robertson, quoting his god.

Obama's mad as hell, and he's not going to take it anymore. I want him to repeat this very speech on national TV!

Can you actually say you have a healthy social life if you are usually parked in front of your computer every night updating your Facebook blog, tagging other Facebook entries, and "making friends"?

On Friday night I drove up to Toronto for a party hosted by a friend (whom I met on the Internet, no less), so I was interacting with dozens of new and interesting people.

I came home on Saturday, cleaned my house a little bit, and hosted a Game Night with 9 people. We shared laughs and drinks over a fun diversionary pastime.

All the while, I was checking Facebook and keeping people posted about my progress and process.

So yes, I can actually say I have a healthy social life, despite (or in part because of!) bring parked in front of my computer every night. If you think the two things are mutually exclusive, you're not using your computer correctly.

Why are any Bush USAs still working? Shouldn't Obama have purged them all and hired his own?

Charlie Crist actually lives amongst the citizens of his state. He actually has to deal with their problems, as opposed to the douchebags in Washington who get to fight their petty partisan battles whilst the economy goes to shit. It just goes to show how removed from the problems of their constituents they really are. They care about nothing except themselves and their power.

Anyway, is this bipartisan enough for you, DeMint?

The price of loyalty in the Bush administration was that when political people made policy decisions, it led to bad policy.

Now the price of loyalty is different - the policy people are being loyal to their buddies, and it costs us in a different way.

How about we appoint competent people and let them actually reach a consensus? Anyone ever thought of that one?

Once the final number does come in, the ratio of tax cuts will have increased. That is, the our-way-or-the-highway "moderates" are going to strip spending while keeping their precious tax cuts.

What a joke.

they would not have gotten to where they did without him.

True. With Chad Pennington, they probably would've made the playoffs.

Can we now get a Democrat in the position? You know, like we expected when we put a Democrat in the White House?

I think the second one was a veiled reference to the Presidential Package.

Bristol made more sense in 5 minutes than her mother made in 5 months.

You mean we're becoming more like the countries that are healthier, better educated, more free and more happy than we are?

My God, it's like the apocalypse!

When will the civilized nations of the world determine that this kind of behavior can no longer stand? The United States need to be ostracized on an international level, and invaded if necessary, to punish the people responsible for these crimes against humanity and to rescue the unfortunately individuals who are being tortured.

It needs to stop. The world needs to stop it. Please.

Trainman, you hit the nail right on the head.

I'd still like to see all 104 of 'em flushed out of Congress, though.

It was Flavor Aid!

A government that's afraid to save its citizens' lives because a bunch of nutjobs will whine isn't an effective government.

Blood is on your hands, Pelosi. I don't know how you sleep at night.
