Game On

Posted by TheJOTUS on August 30, 2008

Today starts the college football season.  It actually started Thursday, but today is when the meat of the season starts.  And I am excited.  I love College football, even more than the pro level.  It is just so much more passionate and exciting. 

As many of the thousands of readers of my blog know, I am not a believer of Kansas football.  Basically anything about the University of Kansas (why isn’t it UK?) I pretty much despise.  They are cheaters.  Actually well documented in cheating.  A little review shall we?

The NCAA said Kansas demonstrated a failure to exert appropriate institutional control, which was shown by a failure to create and maintain and atmosphere of compliance, a failure to report rules violations in a timely manner, a failure to provide rules education, and a failure to monitor activities of student athletes who lived on campus. It was also shown that the coaching staff helped commit academic fraud.

And you can add Sweet Lew’s little stint with the Orange Bowl committee last year.  A bowl they never deserved to go to.  But I am off topic.  It’s a new season, right??

This year, UK…err…KU starts off with another stellar non-con schedule.  Admittedly, most teams from the top conferences play some sort of cupcake schedule.  However, the better ones play at least one–if not two–quality teams.  Not UK…err…KU.  Their big hitter is South Florida. 

Vegas has set the over/under for UK…errr…KU’s season at 7.  Even Vegas knows Margerine-gino and their season last year was a fluke.

Watching baby huey huffing and puffing and wheezing down the sideline trying to follow up a miracle 2007 will be fun.  There isn’t enough Gatorade in the world to soak up the multiple, mucous encrusted roles in his neck to help him with this one.  Tons-o-fun is one onion ring away from his head exploding all over that ridiculous, fictitional bird.

With Texas and Oklahoma on their schedule, an improved Colorado and a supurb Miissouri team, I am taking the under.  Let the games begin.

UPDATE – B. Hussein Responds To The Maverick’s Veep

Classtastic:

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.” — Obama spokesman Bill Burton

When did this guy release this statement???  Before 2006 when she won an election over an incumbant Governor 80-20? 

Barry has nothing, similar to what his entire campaign is based on.

 

UPDATE – Barry Flips On McCain’s VP Pick

It seems after some careful thought and even further reflection, The Hopenchange Express decided to change gears:

“We send our congratulations to Gov. Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the Republican nominee for vice president,” said the Democratic ticket in a joint statement. “It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics.  While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward, Gov. Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign.”

Gaffetastic…

At the end of the article, Jake Tapper notes that McCain had a similar negative response by using Biden’s own words to attack Obama.  Perhaps.  I mean he did use Biden’s own words, but the negative part is debatable.  However, it was Barry who has been running on Hope and Change and a “new” style in Washington.  Then the self-proclaimed smarty pants selects a guy who has been a staple of stale politics for 36 years.  Genious.

The Veep

Posted by TheJOTUS on August 30, 2008

As I am sure you know by now, Senator McCain selected his Vice President today with Gov. Sarah Palin.  I am going to reserve comment for another time until I get a little more aquainted with her.  I mean who the hell follows Alaskan politics??

But one thing is for sure, the Senator sure can pick them.  We all know his wife is hot, but whoooooooo weeeeeeeee, Sarah is scrumdeeeeliocious!!!!

I know, right??  But seriously, this ADDS to her likability.  I mean smart, assertive and attractive??  Both barrels John Boy, both barrels…

A little insight on her:

1. Sarah Louise Palin (nee Heath) was born Feb., 1964, in Sandpoint, Idaho. Her family moved to Alaska when Sarah was an infant. Her father, Chuck, is a retired schoolteacher.

2. She attended Wasilla High School where she played point guard on the state champion basketball team. Her nickname was “Sarah Barracuda.”

3. Palin graduated in 1987 from the University of Idaho with a degree in journalism. She worked briefly as a sports reporter in Anchorage.

4. She refers to her husband, Todd, as the “First Dude.” He’s worked as a commercial fisherman and as a production operator on the North Slope for BP. He enjoys snowmobiling and has won the Tesoro Iron Dog, billed as the world’s longest snowmobile race, four times.

5. Palin and her husband have five children, Bristol, Piper, Track, Willow, and Trig. Trig, born in 2008, has been diagnosed with Down syndrome. Her son Track joined the army in 2007.

6. Her favorite meal is moose stew.

7. She comes from a family of outdoor enthusiasts. Her parents, Chuck and Sally Heath, enjoy hunting and fishing, and have both completed marathons.

8. Palin was named Miss Wasilla in 1984 and was a runner-up for Miss Alaska. In 1996 she was elected mayor of Wasilla.

9. She’s a lifetime NRA member and enjoys hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling.

10. Elected in 2006, she’s Alaska’s first female governor and the youngest governor elected in the state.

Ok, so maybe I’m commenting……
