– Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi is appeasing the moonbat wing of her party by attempting to install John “Cut-and-Run” Murtha as House Majority Leader. I hope you in the middling are paying attention; the Dem “moderates” you elected turned the House much further to the left than you hoped.
– A ChiCom sub popped up within 5 miles of the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk during exercises. While Bill Gertz is trying to claim that it shadowed the battle group, I believe it more likely that the PLAN knew where they would be, had the sub go there ahead of the group and just wait. A diesel-electric sub is nigh impossible to detect on passive sonar when it is making bare steerage. In either case, it’s quite disturbing.
– Russ Feingold announced that, contrary to plans, he won’t be seeking the Democrat nomination for President. While the local newspaper fishwrap bird cage liner paint catcher is deeply saddened, Hillary finds the road open with one less person to take to Fort Marcy Park. Al Qaeda’s favorite Senator, however, will be refocused on the Senate, at least until Clinton asks him to be the VP nominee.
– Good news/bad news on the college football front (more-fully covered at TheWisconsinSportsBar) – Wisconsin moves up to #9 in the latest BCS rankings to become BCS bowl-eligible, but we discover that the BCS bowls can’t take 3 teams from the Big 10. My answer; crush ’em, Ohio State, as the Rose Bowl (which will have the pick of the litter) is expected to take a Big 10 team to replace the Big 10 champ/BCS #1 and Michigan has gone to the Roses more recently than the Badgers, who have gone more-recently than the Buckeyes.
– Speaking of bad news, it’s all over in Hen¢AR. Jimmie Johnson took 2nd at Phoenix to take an almost-insurmountable 63-point lead over Matt Kenseth. They’re cheering in Daytona as they won’t have to alter either the Chase or the points as a whole next year.
– Crow time; after only 9 games, the Packers have matched their win total from last year. Even more shocking, they got win #4 against a team that many people (not me though) considered a challenger to the Bears, and who already got 4 wins.
Kurt Schottenheimer still sucks.
As do Duh Viqueens.
I still am calling for Wile E. Thompson’s head.
