you heard it here first, folks....UNLV is going to be a powerhouse this year! this is an impressive team and will go ten deep with real power coming off the bench. when you have a 7 footer and a 6-10 player plus not one but two real hot shot guards as reserves then you have the makings of a team to be reckoned with.....
i have laid out my schedule so that i am here for most of basketball season including our conference championship tournament which is held here at the thomas and mack so i am quite excited. rhonda and i have season tickets right smack dab in the middle of the court but up in the second level. great seats, would like to be downstairs but the only ones we could get were at one end of the court or the other and i would rather be in the middle even if it is upstairs. oh well, go rebels.
surely some of you out there are college basketball fans; write and tell me about your teams. there are always some teams out there under the radar that are really good...let us know about yours....
i'll tell you what; the democrats are going much easier on liebermann than i would have... obama is a real pragmatic man and we need that right now and if he feels that j.l. can be of help in his position then so be it.....but i would have cut his legs off.
i see where rush limbaugh is already calling it the "obama recession". amazing. the man has no shame. but then again, he is an entertainer. that is what he calls himself. (and he has many more fans than i do..so there you go.)
oh well, still looking for inspiration for something worthwhile to write about. i am just playing with words instead of my dick over these last few blogs. bear with me...surely i will come up with something.
peace to us all

You said you were going to write about how you went from a corporate job to comedy. I'd love to hear that.
You're in a position very few people ever find themselves in: you make a living talking. Look at MySpace comedy and see how many people dream of that while going nowhere. I've read that even here in Atlanta a lot of people sit around until 2 a.m. and can't even get a slot on open mic night, and you're actually paying the bills with this stuff!
So anything you have to say about this rare position could be interesting, from how you got got started, to how you conceive and craft your ideas, to the career planning that got you to your current position, to the people and places you encounter as you travel. All of its something that we in cubicle land never experience.
Discuss.
"We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children,and building wind farms and solar panels, fuel-efficient cars and the alternative energy technology that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years head,"
Obama.
I have been waiting for mankind to make real progress in solar power since I was 8, I read this and almost shed a tear. This is not the future we were promised, but it looks like we might start heading in the right direction.
Gates was head of the CIA during Bush I. As such, he was involved in the invasion of Panama, the funding of a genocidal regime in Guatemala, the support of Suharto’s brutal government in Indonesia, and the overthrow of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti.
With Bush I, he pushed the first war against Saddam Hussein, even when it seemed that Saddam was preparing to withdraw from Kuwait.
And now with Bush II, he’s been running the Iraq War, which Obama vowed to end.
And Gates has come out with modernizing our nuclear weapons arsenal—that means making new nukes—even though Obama talked about nuclear disarmament during the campaign.
Something’s terribly wrong with this picture.
And it’s simply this: Obama doesn’t really want a change in foreign and military policy. He said as much during the campaign when he praised Bush Sr. and said he wanted to return to the bipartisan consensus of the last forty years.
In those forty years, the United States waged war against Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. It helped overthrow the Allende government in Chile. It supported Suharto’s invasion of East Timor. It financed and trained death squads in Central America. And on and on.
With the Gates choice, Obama proves he’s not about ending the U.S. empire.
He’s about running the U.S. empire—with less bravado than Bush-Cheney, but perhaps more efficiently.
Listen up, Obama, you cheap, lying fraud: the United States government launched a criminal war of aggression against a nation that never threatened us. It continues a bloody, murdering occupation which does nothing but worsen the agony of the Iraqi people. We have no right to be in Iraq at all. We never did. The actions of the United States government have led to a genocide of world historical proportions.
Genocidal murderers and those who support and enable them -- as you do, Obama, since you vote to fund this continuing crime -- do not get to "ask" one single goddamned fucking thing of their victims. Not. One. Single. Goddamned. Fucking. Thing.
