Me + ACLU = BFF?
2008-12-02 13:30:00 The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.Domestic emergency deployment may be "just the first example of a series of expansions in presidential and military authority," or even an increase in domestic surveillance, said Anna Christensen of the ACLU's National Security Project. And Cato Vice President Gene Healy warned of "a creeping militarization" of homeland security."There's a notion that whenever there's an important problem, that the thing to do is to call in the boys in green," Healy said, "and that's at odds with our long-standing tradition of being wary of the use of standing armies to keep the peace."See the rest at www.AnAmericanFrontPorch.com

Ole Miss is playing a physical and confident brand of football right now. The Bulldogs are just showing up. The Rebels were beaten solidly in this one a year ago, look for Coach Nutt to work his magic in getting the Oxford crowd to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl after a 3-9 season in 2007.LSU (-4.5) at Arkansas- 1:40 PM on CBSBunkhouse Picks: Tigers 38-24Why? LSU will probably bounce back solidly enough to beat the Razorbacks with ball control offense and pressure heavy defense. Even in "The Rock" LSU will keep it at arm's length.Saturday November 29th, 2008#22 Georgia Tech at #11 Georgia (-8)- 11:00 AM on CBSBunkhouse Picks: Bulldogs 41-17Why? The Rambling Wreck secondary isn't very good, and has shown to be just that when up against solid pass offenses. They'll have to put 8 and 9 in the box to respect Knowshawn Moreno, so look for Stafford to h... More About: Style
A Few Saturday Reflections
2008-11-24 14:00:00 'Bama was off this weekend, so I actually got to enjoy a football weekend without the emotional turmoil of your own team playing. It was refreshing, and I had a few thoughts that I'll throw out there for ya.1. The Oklahoma v. Texas Tech game proved that media sex appeals usually matters very little when evaluating good football. While prolific, pure run and gun offenses like at Texas Tech lack the fundamental discipline necessary to execute consistently against equal opposition. Bob Stoops and the Sooners exposed Texas Tech to be exactly what they really are-- the girl at the party who everybody loves until she loses her makeup-- the quintessential brown bagger.2. Here's to you, Tigahfan. Only you, after two BCS championships in the last five years can abandon your team at the first glimpse of adversity. After losing to Alabama, Tiger stadium has seemingly lost its night time mystique. It was empty in the third quarter against Troy, and once again vacant against Ole Miss. This is...

Bitter Much?
2008-11-11 23:07:00 Some of you will cut me off after only a few sentences knowing my allegiance, but bear with me.How can Nick Saban not be voted coach of the year for 2008?I read this piece of whiney, emotional drivel (randomly found) yesterday and it made me consider my statement above. I honestly had not thought about it, but Nick Saban took an in-shambles Alabama program and resurrected it using hard work and positive thinking. They are now, albeit temporarily, first in the nation and playing hard-nosed football. The turnaround, not the ranking, is the most amazing thing to me this year about this 'Bama program...and take a deeeeeep breath. It's because of Nick Saban.Here's a different take."With all of these issues surrounding Saban, how can he rank fourth in an award meant to be given to a college coach displaying trust, compassion, faith in academics, and who is an overall good guy?"Using this writer's qualifications, hardly any coach has ever been deserving of the award. In fact, one would... More About: Alabama football , Bitter

Bama-LSU Aftermath Turns Deadly

Geo-Politics is Hard!
2008-11-05 17:21:00 I was noticing this morning on my facebook account that an alarming number of my friends have decided the frigid unfriendliness of Canada looks quite inviting to them now that a progressive president has been elected in the United States. Remember Three Things: 1. We'll miss you.2. Take a parka, it's cold. 3. Canada makes California look like a Jerry Falwell-sponsored Tent Revival. That's just a heads up those who wrote things like "I'm now officially moving to Canada" or "Let's make a run to Canada with our 401k still intact." So, while you're up there don't forget to write and we'll send you money for a box of Cubans from time to time.

Change You Can Believe In
2008-11-05 14:21:00 I woke up this morning as I always do and grabbed a banana on the way out the door. It's 5:00 am, and I need to work out before getting to my office.I have a good job that helps people. It's fulfilling. I'm not rolling in cash, but I work hard for every penny.My wife and I bought a house a little over a year ago. We got a conventional mortgage because even I'm not that bad at basic math. It's tight, but we can afford it. We never felt like we deserved a house. I just wanted to raise my son with neighbors, a yard, a dog, in a nice neighborhood. Growing up on the farm I was always taught that if you want to provide your family with a nice life, then you work hard. Period.It's not so hard for me to understand.I'm so freakin' glad that this election is over. It was a lock for Obama from the beginning. Offer up promises, a catchy slogan, and shiny new stuff for everyone and season it with a deep hatred and envy for those who have said stuff already. Line that up against a man fro...
