It’s official. The two best teams in college football will not be playing each other for a national championship. A Rose Bowl is still a good thing, and playing USC does give the team a chance to revenge themselves after the embarrassment that happened a few years ago. Some of my housemates (most, if not all, I hope) will get the experience of the Tournament of Roses Parade, so it’s not all bad. Some columnists agree that the University of Michigan got the shaft, but apparently, this shafting was in the cards ever since the game that Michigan lost. If it wasn’t USC, it would be Florida or Arkansas. It’s too bad, really - the conventional wisdom of the armchair pundits says that if Michigan had lost this week, rather than two weeks ago, it would be a rematch. But because the Big Ten does not play a championship game, and U of M filled its bye week with a game this year, the #2 team in the country is denied their chance to rematch.
It looks like the Democrats will continue to fund the war effort. Rather than, you know, being progressives and putting a stop to it, or at least aiming for serious accountability issues and a tightening of the purse strings. Bush’s aides claim "We have not failed in Iraq". Other parts of the country see psychologists withholding APA dues because of the APA's unwillingness to condem torture.
Feministing takes a swing at a person who claims that feminists are all about free sex and sexualizing women, yet comes to the ultimate conclusion that all women really want is marriage and monogamy. Several swings, actually.
Malaysia mulls over restriction on bloggers. The question is whether the inflammatory material was trie. Once you figure out that part, then you can progress to the part as to whether it should be protected or not. If it’s true, then it’s protected. If it’s false, then see whether it would fit a defamation, slander, or libel definition. Wholesale restrictions on categories of people, however, are not the way to go about this sort of thing.
Social cell phone numbers mean giving digits isn't a really big thing.
Something rather interesting - a Windows XP theme that redoes everything in Mac OS X style.
And the important link for tonight - Zod 2008. Could use the same tagline as the C’thulhu/Hastur campaign - “Why vote for the lesser evil?”
And, as somewhat of a straw poll, Wapsi Square, Panel Three of the December 1, 2006 comic. Applicable to most people? To this person? To yourself? All of the above?
