I said when the hire was made it was a yawner, but I thought they could muddle past Ark. St., who by the way, played UT tough last year (21-13), but obviously, A&M coah Mike Sherman is a moron. Hey, I know TTech struggled against a hoorible Eastern Washington team they were expected to hang 70 on, but at least they eked out a win. They say Aggies don't boo aggies, but after this they need to start. The Ags haven't won a National Title in 70 years, and me thinks that maybe it's because of shit like that. Brutal.

More CFB: Hey everybody! it's Bich Rodriguez! Utah knocks off Michigan @ big house

Bowling Green goat slaps #25 Pitt

It's official: The ACC blows as #24 Alabama ( a team thought to be at least a year away from being Alabama type good) ass rapes #9 Clempson ( I went ahead and put the P in, for phonetics sake)

texas tech vs. a&m ........you make the call?

nuff said !!!!

BHO, RGIII, LG and GL

The entire Deuce crew was on hand at one of X's 8 houses last night and we checked in on Barry Obamer and Delaware Joey Plugs at the DNC....Yes BHO was likable and gave a good speech, however the douche to seemingly normal human being ratio in the crowd was a robust 3 to 1, in favor of the douches......We also flipped over to the Baylor/Wake Farrest matchup as college football got underway, and we saw the dazzling debut of BU QB Robert Griffin III, or RG III as he has been dubbed.....Bee Yew got smacked, but we were all in agreeance that Tre' is money, and evoked memories of another #10 down Austin way from a few years back, as the kid is just that talented....You can build a program around a kid like that....It's also become obvious to me that Lorne Greene is George Lopez' biological father, which just furthers the Mexican rumors, even further.....It's Labor Day weekend, so enjoy a Scrapple sandwich in honor of Joey Plugs, and begin the ramp up to the RNC, where the stiff to normal human being ratio will be out of whack as well.

"Errr, Uhh, there's a 1000$ leaving town tax"

Now this: Out in Cali they are trying tax people for fleeing high tax areas and also for dying. Again I say, they get you coming and going, just who the hell are these people?

Gustav: The ill doochey

Already being called Katrina II, tropical storm Gustav is headed down Louisiana way, and it's going to be interesting to see how new La. Guber Bobby Jindal handles things. I hope that the Bush hurricane steering machine swerves this thing out of the area and Jindal's considerable skills aren't needed. Hey, he can't do any worse than Katy Blanco and RNagin did in '05. In all seriousness, this thing has killed at least 22 people so far, so let's hope for the best for our Gulf Coast peeps.

VY in trouble in Tennessee?

That's what I'm hearing from local radio hacks, folks, that Vince Young is on the hot seat in Titan ville. I'm fucking dumbfounded by this one. He comes in as a rook in 2006, has his struggles, but the team that picked 3rd in the draft the previous year made a run at the last playoff spot in the hyper-competitive AFC, with VY at the helm as a rookie. Then in 2007, they go a step further and actually make the playoffs in VY's 2nd year. I know his numbers aren't great, but compare his run to Troy Aikman's: 1-15 1st year; 7-9 2nd year; 11-5 playoffs in his 3rd year. Yet Vince is taking heat? Hey, stupid local Polish radio hack: The Bears, Chiefs, Dolphins, Bills, 49ers, Cardinals, Vikes, Texans, Raiders, Bucs, and maybe even the Eagles would love to have this guy. You and the Tennessee fans can't be that stupid.

War on Terror Update: Confidence in War on Terror and Iraq at Highest Level Ever

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Voter confidence in the War on Terror is at the highest level ever recorded since Rasmussen Reports began regular tracking in January 2004. Fifty-four percent (54%) of American voters now think the United States and its allies are winning the war. The previous high-water mark for optimism--52%--was reached a handful of times in September and October 2004.

Fick and Colbert in 2008

Obama? McCain? Neither. Here's an unbeatable ticket we can all get behind: Nate Fick as President and Brad "Iceman" Colbert as VP. For years Steve Austin (WWE) was my favorite TV personality of all time, with Tony Soprano and The Rock (Dewayne Johnson) right behind him. I can now say that all of these cats have been usurped by the real life (or should I say Actual) characters on HBO's Generation Kill. Lt. Fick and Sgt. Colbert make me as proud to be an American as I've ever been in my life. Change?!? We Can Believe In?!? Man, fuck all you non Americans who hate America, and fuck all you Americans who bitch about how messed up our country is. Here's change you can believe in: Bad mouth my country within my 76 inch reach, and I'll punch you dead in the face, which will change the way your face feels. America isn't perfect, but it's still number one. Who else? Russia? The ChiComs? Iran? The fucking European Union? Come....the....Fuck...on! I've lived a great 39 years in this country, and would gladly die to keep this thing up and going for my sons, and the rest of my fellow Yanks if necessary. It may be disingenuous for someone as healthy and fortunate as myself to make these claims, and I'll admit to being very blessed, but it's true, it's damn true. If you hate America, just say it to my face. Please, just say it to my face. Fick and Colbert in 2008: Stay Frosty America.

Strive for honor evermore...Long live the matadors.

Is this the year? For about forty years I've been waiting for my beloved Red Raiders to make a run at something. Anything? Finally , here we are, with a pre-season ranking of #8. Myself and crass have had this conversation on several ocassions, Why can't Lubbock do what they have been able to do in places like Manhattan,Kansas Eugene,Oregon or even freakin Hawaii. So i ask ya'll to join me in my weekly quest to bring a Big 12 title and who know's , maybe even a national title , back to the south plains. It's been a long time coming for this shot!

Lance Bass edges X out for spot on "Dancing with the Stars"

"I can't believe it", whimpered the flamboyant Deuce contributor, " I'm more flaming than Bass or Cubes!!"

there sure are a lot of mexicans at the fair!!!!

Just thought i'd join in on the racial post's , as well as that CRAP crass and X are rolling out there.

"Now you'll tell me that Lorne Greene is not a Mexican"

Much like Recon was out of the game until last week's episode of Gen. Kill, so too is Crass, until next Tuesday any way. Until then, stay tuned for more of X's updates from Beijing.

Selectively Inbred Human Opposes Selective Breeding Of Plants

Sir, Step Away From The Counter And Get Down On The Ground Now!

While L.A. bans fast food in South Central, Mississippi goes whole hog and considers banning fat people from restaurants:

Mississippi, the fattest state in the Union, introduced a bill last Friday that would ban some restaurants from serving anyone with a BMI over 30.

Meanwhile Olympic fatass Michael Phelps confesses to his 12,000 calorie a day diet:

Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.
He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

WTF? Chinese Use Son of Hitler's Architect To Design Olympics

Albert Speer Jr., Like Father Like Son in Olympic Design?

op-ed by Nina Khrushcheva in the Guardian entitled, "Olympic Hubris." In it, she makes connections between Albert Speer's designs for the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the hiring of his son, Albert Speer Jr., to design the master plan for the Beijing Olympics.

Totalitarian regimes -- the Nazis, the Soviets in 1980, and now the Chinese -- desire to host the Olympics as a way to signal to the world their superiority. China believes that it has found its own model to develop and modernise, and its rulers regard the games in the same way as the Nazis and Leonid Brezhnev did, as a means of "selling" their model to a global audience.

Obviously, the Chinese were naive to choose an architect whose name carried such dark historical connotations. The name of Speer itself probably did not matter to the officials who chose him. They sought to stage an Olympics that made manifest their image of themselves, and Speer Jr, looking back to his father's mastery of the architecture of power, delivered the goods.

The opening ceremonies did have a creepy vibe at times. When it wasn't a ridiculous vibe.

National Socialist Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics each survived nine years after hosting Olympic Games. Here's to the 2017 demise of Communist China.

The author of the op-ed, Nina Khrushcheva, is Nikita Khrushchev's grandaughter. The author of this blogpost, Comrade X, is possibly related to Ghengis Khan along with an estimated 1/3 of the Earth's population.

Oh Herro!

Spain's Olympic basketball teams have risked upsetting their Chinese hosts by posing for a pre-Games advert making slit-eyed gestures. The advert for a courier company, which is an official sponsor of the Spanish Basketball Federation, occupied a full page in the sports daily Marca, the country's best-selling newspaper. Spaniards are considered the most racist of all the different types of Mexicans.

Election 2000 Flashback

MLB World Series Program: "What do you think of domed stadiums?"

"Gore: 'The design and construction of domed stadiums - in Seattle (the Kingdome was the first free-standing current dome ever built), Houston (the Astrodome was the first stadium to use astroturf) and Minnesota (the Metrodome is the only stadium in the USA whose roof is suspended without beams or rods - it's supported by air pressure), for example - have been feats of architectural and engineering excellence. But the real measure of any stadium, domed or otherwise, is how much fun you have inside.'

"Bush: 'I like to go to baseball games outside.'"

As to the significance of all this, leave it (as usual) to the foreigners:

"It's an astonishing document, isn't it?" (Tim) Blair wrote. "Baseball has provided the character analysis all those debates merely hinted at. Gore = egocentric blowhard. Bush = Gump-like savant."

Putin Rates The Euros: "They're Pussies!"

Richard Dolan: "Having taken the Europeans' measure in Kosovo/Bosnia in the '90s and Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan more recently, he knows that the European end of "strong transatlantic unity" is all talk, no action. Nor, given the Europeans' dependence on Russian oil and gas, need Putin worry about economic sanctions or pressure, which in all events the Europeans would not invoke. "

Whip Underinflation Now

The debate over whether to drill for more oil or air up your tires intensifies.

As Alan Greenspan said about the original Whip Inflation Now campaign back in 1974: "This is unbelievably stupid".

Deep End Sports: Cats in Cali, kids in Kansas, and now:.....MELNICK!!!

Deep End Sports, the Internet radio show with fan(s) in Chelsea, MA., Olathe KS., and California, has now cracked the Great White Way. That's right, New Yoke City is in full effect, thank to the the appearance of longtime T.W.I.B. (This Week in Baseball) contributor and one half of the legendary Melnick and Greco show, Lenny Melnick. Len registered his approval of our lil' production, as well as some inside dope on Joe Torre and th' LA Dodgers, when he called into last Saturday's show. Big ups Len, you've inspired us to keep this dog and pony show up and going for one more week at least.

RGoodell: "I am third"

Among notable commissioners, Roger Goodell very graciously had ranked himself third. "First, of course, is National Minor League Football ( www.nmlf.org ) commish, Crassius Maximus, what with his decisive, dynamic stylings."
"Second, no doubt, is Xerxes, commissioner of the fledging PGKL, or Persian God King League. "

"Which, obviously, leaves me third, as I'm way better than Stern or Selig."
