I am in a lousy mood, but this cheered me up.

Steelers Loss
And the Steelers lose again to the…
Coin Toss.
Congrats Titans.
NFL Rules committee- fix overtime. Now.
Pickering Analysis
This was written near a year ago, but is probably the best assessment of the Pickering nomination.
‘Racism, Injustice, Humiliation’
Hanna Rosin’s unsettling editorial in the WaPo today isn’t about racism. It is about injustice and humiliation, and more importantly, incompetence. The INS is a complete basket case, and something serious needs to be done about it. Unfortunately, it probably won’t happen. I am so glad we federalized airline security.
Rare as a White Harlem Globetrotter

Democratic Underground Morons
Right-Wing News located this disturbing thread.
Some lowlights:
I’m wrong to feel this way, and I know it. But I can’t help myself — no way do I want to see the United States succeed in this “war” with Iraq. This may sound traitorous to some. And I’ll understand your flames.
It might sound traitorous because it is, you dolt. At least she understands she is a moron. Big of her, no?
Idiots. There is nothing unpatriotic about principled opposition to the war. Nothing whatsoever. I will never flame anyone for making a principled stand on war- hell, I come from Quaker ancestry- they know something about opposition to war. Actively rooting for us to lose a war, however immoral you may believe it is, crosses a line.
Volunteer Fascists
I am glad that the tragic story of the police in Tennesee shooting a family pet in a routine traffic stop is getting a lot of air time, and I hope everyone views it. There is a policing problem in this country. It starts with the police. If the police can say that shooting a family pet in front of children is the appropriate response and according to department policy, let me suggest it is time to re-work the policies of the department. This is also not the first time this department has been involved in wrong-doings. The word fascist is thrown out a lot by Democrats when talking about conservatives. I don’t know the political affiliation of these guys, but fascist sounds about right.
