Megan Fox … Texas has zero interest in taking part in Obama’s health care plan … “Suburban survivalists stock up for Armageddon” … pubs are closing at an astonishing rate … man torches his own house, gets three years in jail … this story was on dateline last night, and is about as sad as it gets … rise of the machines? … cruise ship 1, Whale 0 … two photos of Redskins with female fans after the jump …
Lifting our Favre ban for these two zingers: “ESPN’s Chris Mortensen confirms Charles Lindbergh’s baby has been kidnapped. Favre, house-hunting in Eden Prairie, runs into one of his errant passes from December ‘03 Packers-at-Vikings game … Favre walks away from Wrangler, begins discreet talks with Dockers.” (SI)

Silly Texas, the 10th amendment hasn’t been relevant in 150 years.

in the sidebar of the story about closing pubs, there is a link to a story that says Coca Cola has plans to market “fizzy, flavored milk” that doesn’t need refrigeration.

That’s not Wesley Snipes from Demolition Man?

Portis is going for the Judge Dredd look. very popular in DC

That sounds disgusting. Just nasty.
Texas is like a totally different country. I swear if you gave the state the option to seceed they would do it faster than any other state.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
I didn’t know that Portis and Ugly Betty were friends

Wordpress doesn’t like Hernia.

I just threw up in my mouth.

The Vernon Forrest story is sick. He gets robbed, gives chase, gives up chase and when he turns back he gets shot 7-8 times in the back. I hope those dudes get caught and enjoy getting raped in prison.

That guy is a bum. He put up zero posts for the whole weekend.
I just threw up in my mouth.
They plan to market that disgusting beverage as a health drink.

damn right they would. Texans will tell you that the US asked Texas to join, not Texas asking to join to the US. So they say, if we want to leave, they will leave. Oklahoma is following suit.

they’re big talkers. not saying they aren’t a special kind of bat shit crazy though.

Can’t wait for Ty to drop the bomb on the US Soccer masterpiece from the weekend.
The massacre resulted in my refusal to allow Dora on my TV and my 2 year old screaming for an hour.

they’re big talkers.
It’s all sound and fury. Notice that Rick Perry has a prominent challenger in the Republican party this time. Even moderate republicans in Texas know his act has tilted so far right it’s off the table.
You know what’s lonely? Being a liberal in Texas that doesn’t live in a city.

if they were serious I’m sure they would take down their American Flags and willfully give up all the benefits of being an American Citizen. I don’t think they’d be given the same benefits Puerto Rico has.

maybe if michigan knew how to put on a golf event, this wouldn’t be an issue.
ohio > michigan…yet again.
July 27th, 2009 at 9:49 AM
What’s the old adage about arguing on the internet? I think it applies also in the ohio/michigan debate.

Interesting picture choice for this article about lower gas prices.

Hernia rocks. Dirt I can’t remember the last time you had anything solid to say here. Still it is the “lost weekend,” but it will be back.

Hilarious and classic! Good for you herd for some old school disclipline for a change instead of letting the inmates run the asylum.
I’ve screened out many a chick based on how she treats her pet(s).

Montoya didn’t get jobbed, he was flat out stupid. NASCAR gives you a 5 mph window on the pit road speed and he exceeded that by .11 mph, so he was actually 5.11 mph over the speed limit. He had a 5 second lead and should never have been close to exceeding the pit road speed limit. There are sending units in each car and sensors on the track and pit road. He f’d up and got caught. It’s too bad, as he would have won easily.
