I doubt anyone was watching the guy who created crack in the 80’s being sworn in online, though. The comments on that story are depressing.

That late trash bucket against by WVU last night cost me the under. Up 15pts and can run out the clock but choose to drive, dish and dunk with less than 15 secs on the clock. Classy…

Obama’s inauguration was the second most-watched ever – can you guess the first?
Probably JFK.

Marissa Miller… wow. I’m digging the g-string tan line.
@bsanders — I believe those are trackbacks, rather than comments. But they’re equally funny and awesome as they’re from exactly who you’d think they would be (Savage Politics being my favorite).

Magic got crushed last night at home. I take it there is no Ballin today because there were only 2 games last night. weak effort by the Magic

Really? Yao never received more than 3mil? I thought the entire country of China came together and voted for him every year.

i dont want to get anyone too riled up, but if anyone watches GMA, Sam Champion is the weather guy. he NEVER interviews anyone. He’s also the one who was “linked” to Mike Piazza.
anyway, he’s “interviewing” Sanjaya from American Idol right now. it’s not too difficult to connect the dots here. and no, i dont care what he told Howard Stern earlier this week about banging chicks and having a girlfriend.

The windows are starting to fog in this comment section.

Sanjaya’s gay?
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:50 AM
Yikes, stripes, somebody needs to check their humor tank, it appears to be on empty. Excuse me, me and my simple, simple brain are going to go hold each other in the corner to try and recover from your intellectually superior verbal evisceration. Forgot it’s not smart to tweak the Reaganites.

TBL – Any thoughts about the New Yorker article on the survivalists getting ready for complete economic collapse? Seems right up your alley.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:00 AM

January 23rd, 2009 at 9:01 AM

@illformula- the student was decapitated right?
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 AM
@Irish – That’s what I’m hearing from the multiple Alumni that I know. The story is kinda fuzzy, but they say she was decapitated with a butter knife. That’s some serious hate there.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 AM
That should go without saying shouldn’t it?

Not sure why ND with 12 losses should be considered over some teams. They have a pretty weak resume. Sure, they play in the Big East, but they need to win some of their upcoming games.
The are on a 2 game losing streak, that could get upped to 5 very easily. They also have 4 additional road games, 3 of which they will definitely be dogs. Without some defense played by ND, they could easily be on the outside looking in.
