The Dog Days Are Over!

by

Vols 19, Bulldogs 14 Tennessee has broken the recent “Georgia curse” with a stunning win in Athens, shunning the oddsmakers who predicted a 12.5 point Bulldog victory. In a very sloppy game where penalty-wrought Georgia went back and forth with a Tennessee team who missed three field goals, the Vol defense picked themselves up from … Read more

More Than a Trace

by

I caught an episode last night of Without A Trace, a mildly-entertaining FBI drama on CBS. Though the show focuses on kidnapping victims who vanish “without a trace,” there was more than a trace of hostility towards the pro-life position in last night’s show. The story was about a “Christian” family that was formerly involved … Read more

Boxes for the Masses

by

If you’re into horoscopes, a typical ice-breaker to conversation might be, “What’s your sign?” Ostensibly, if you know someone’s particular sign of the Zodiac, you already know a great deal about them. Many people read horoscopes with the same enthusiasm of reading a fortune cookie—they’re seen as merely forms of entertainment, never taken too seriously. … Read more

NBC Catches On

by

I thought it was funny that NBC decided to have some bloggers comment on tonight’s debate. Funny, in that they’ve just now caught on to the blogging phenomenon. It’s more than a little ironic that for the conservative blogger they chose John Hinderaker from Powerline—the blogger who started the RatherGate meltdown that led to CBS’s … Read more

Dogfight

by

Intitial VP debate reactions: Vice President Cheney wins this debate by a good stride. He was confident, assured, and looked a little more in command than Edwards. He hammered Edwards on many more points than President Bush did last week. The only downside was this debate went on way too long, and Cheney began to … Read more

Rock Stars

by

The MoveOn PAC is currently sponsoring the “Vote for Change” concert tour, featuring a who’s who of rock stars. Rock star Alice Cooper had this to say about the group: “If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are,” … Read more

Playing with Large Animals

by

Vols 10, Tigers 34 I don’t really have much to say except that I will now crawl into a hole and hide for a while. Defensive problems, offensive problems—you name it. The Vols were not ready for Auburn’s offensive line to pummel them like little girls. Next week it’s Georgia. Logic says that Dogs are … Read more

Tiger Show on the River

by

The Vols host the Auburn Tigers tonight on the river in Knoxville. Roy Horn played with a tiger earlier this year and got his head nearly bitten off. He later claimed that the tiger was only trying to protect him—but what can you expect from guy who got his head bitten off? Tennessee will be … Read more

You Would Be Remiss…

by

…if you didn’t read James Lileks today. Here is just a sample: But mostly I hate the debates because I simply cannot abide hearing certain statements I’ve been hearing over, and over, and over again. I can’t take any more talk about bringing allies to the table. Which ones? Brazil? Mynmar? Microfrickin’nesia? Are there some … Read more

Elect Local, Ask Global

by

Overall, tonight’s presidential debate revealed the positions of the two candidates clearly. Two very opposing viewpoints were made clear. In light of this, one might say it was a tie. In light of the content of the differences, I would say that it is a loss for Sen. Kerry. John Kerry is dangerous for America. … Read more
