Deliberately mislead? No, probably not. Make guesses based on weak sources that sound accurate and keep your fingers crossed that it turns out to be true so you can say you were out in front of the story? Yeah, that sounds about right. Although I can't really speak for ESPN, most of the other...

Probably should have. He's the coach that in two years at IU has brought them to the brink of respecability despite having two brain surgeries this season. He was never on anyone's list and nobody would give him the time of day even if he was, but he would make one hell of a ball coach at the...

Re: A required reading article... Don't you mean "desert"? ;) ...in any event, I'm not concerned. IH8 may be a grammar/spelling super-genius, but he's wrong on this one. (Though I do concede that when most people say "just deserts" they think it is "just desserts". Unfortunately that...

Re: A required reading article... It's not a brit/american thing... it's a spelling thing. People don't usually think about the word "desert" in the sense of "deserving" so when folks hear "just deserts" they think, naturally, of "desserts" -- this isn't a cultural difference, it's just...

Re: A required reading article... I believe you mean "just deserts".

Sorry... I gues I wasn't subscribed to this thread, so I didn't get any emails about the replies. Whoops. U-A: I'm not sure quite what you mean... could you be more specific? Bamapride: Yeah, the animation was done in Microsoft Gif Animator but the images themselves were created in Photoshop.

I realize that we aren't allowed to use images in our signatures around here, but it is allowed on some message boards (ahem... not that, uh, we NEED any other message boards... but... ummm), so I thought I'd post these that I whipped up for myself to use on other boards -- feel free to use them...

Collegefootballnews.com has a list up of how D-IA schools compare in fan support as measured by attendance. The intent, it seems, is to show how this effects the ADs bottom line, not whose fans are most loyal, otherwise this ought to be a percentage of capacity. Anyway, Alabama is #10. It should...

No need to register for anything. http://www.bugmenot.com Just paste the url of the site in and it'll give you login information. Beautiful.

A friend of mine posted similar to his own website back in April... for some reason yesterday it was the #1 result for "Democratic National Convention Schedule" on google and you should SEE some of the creeps that had to comment. Everything from hoping he fails out of law school and the bar to...

...jumping in to a discussion that I'm not a part of... Amazingly enough, Bush agreed that Saddam was NOT an immediate threat. He said so in his radio address and I think that is pretty well substantiated by the facts of the case both before the invasion, and in retrospect. Unfortunately, we...

I find myself reading a good number of books, though not nearly as many as I'd like, and it's kinda neat to keep up with which of the greats you've read. About a year ago a friend of mine introduced me to a nifty website that lets you track which books, movies, etc... that you've read, seen...

At the end of the day, what Iraq comes down to is that they've had WMDs before (kurds, anyone?), they had been in material violation of UN resolutions for more than a decade, and the bottom line is that they would have, at some point, become a serious threat to American security (remember...

...speaking of lies and propaganda... ...right on cue!

Have you not encountered this breed of citizen in your day-to-day yet? I'm rather shocked, because they're EVERYWHERE. These people don't care about objectivity, all they care about is how vehemently they HATE George W. Bush. So much so that many of them cannot even stand to type or say his...

Not one to be a hypocrite (ahem, fosterkeats)... this is something I'm going to enjoy writing... Here's why I'll be voting for our President, George W. Bush for re-election in 2004. National Security & Sovereignty - Bush's handling of 9/11, the aftermath, and National Security issues, while...

The good news is that if he gets in, you're bound to agree with him on virtually every issue about half the time. :biggrin2:

I'll second that! I second this recommendation -- I don't use Internet Explorer any more, but when I did, this program was a GODSEND. It's absolutely perfect for posting on forums and such -- you right-click on the text box and select "spell check" and it pops up in a little window with...

Interesting news today: But then again, Iraqi officials are calling the report stupid: Of course, 18 feet of concrete is certainly not seem to be an innocent structure... but Iraq was not known to have the capacity to create nukes, so where on earth did they come from if they do exist? I...

That's a mighty convenient mischaractarization of the article, there, Spot. Not that I expect you to be able to present anything about President Bush fairly. For those who don't read articles: an Amish woman gave a quilt to Bush and he then said that he'd like to meet her and her family --...
