how to suck at sending Hanukkah cards
News item: A picture of a Christmas tree is not the first thing you would expect to see on an invitation to an event celebrating Hanukkah, but that is exactly what recipients of invitations to this year's White House Hanukkah reception initially got in the mail.

Ball State beat Western Michigan...
Western Michigan beat Illinois... Illinois beat Iowa... Iowa beat Penn State... I'm sure I have a point here...
San Diego...Storm...Rain...Whaaaaaa?...End Times??
Storm headed this way is no turkey
If the storm bearing down on the county lives up to its billing, it could bring some of the heaviest local rain in more than 3½ years. Rain should begin this evening but heaviest showers are expected after midnight.

Debridement of his Labrum? Bony Lesion? He's a Chix, right??
The Phillies still feel they're looking at a 4-6 month recovery phase following Chase Utley's hip surgery on Monday. Utley had an arthroscopic debridement of his labrum and a bony lesion that was present. Dr. Bryan Kelly reported the surgery went well and the findings yesterday were consistent with the diagnostic studies performed prior to surgery. Utley's toughness certainly isn't in doubt, and it'd be no surprise to see him back for Opening Day. Still, the Phillies may want to go shopping for a better utilityman than Eric Bruntlett.

Cupcake vs. Cupcake
When the idea for ESPN Classic was cooked up, this couldn't have been what they had in mind.
Navy lost to Notre Dame and Northern Illinois hasn't beaten a team with a winning record all year. Could they both lose?

I dunno who this guy is but Obama should get him on the blower, pronto
Peter Schiff Was Right
Watch how he predicts every upcoming FAIL of the economy while FOX brain-dead morons like Neal Cavuto, Ben Stein, Arthur Laffer and a host of others snear, guffaw, laugh, smirk etc. at his 100% correct predictions. Also notice the financial stocks they recommend, like Washington Mutual. What i want to know is why does Cavuto still has a show, and why (i am sure) most of these proven moronic "experts" are still appearing on it (like the insufferable Ben Stein--the Bill Kristol of the financial sector). This Peter Schiff guy should have a show. By the way, gold is at $817 per ounce. That's about where it was at the beginning of the year, but the price is trending upwards in the last couple of weeks.
In an August 2006 interview Schiff generated much controversy when he repeated his long-held investment thesis: "The United States economy is like the Titanic and I am here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship ...I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States."
On da udder hand:
Schiff is a firm believer in reducing government regulation of the economy. Schiff worries that Barack Obama will increase such regulation.
Schiff was an economic adviser to [crazy--ed.] Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign....

Why yes, only 56 DAYS, 9 Hrs, 4 Mins, 12.8 Secs to go...
Bush, who spoke after meeting with Paulson and other Cabinet members at the Treasury Department, said they all realize that Americans are concerned for their jobs and savings.
"We will safeguard the financial system as the first step necessary for economic recovery," the president said. "This is a tough situation. But we will recover from it."

Final OH...MY...GOD...why wasn't Charlie Weis fired immediately after the game?
Saturday’s game marked the last time Illinois and Northwestern played for the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk. The framed tomahawk has been a part of the instate rivalry since 1947, but school officials announced Friday that its run will end as part of the 2005 NCAA directive to stop using American Indian imagery.
Notre Dame 23
Final OH...MY...GOD...why wasn't Charlie Weis fired immediately after the game?
For the Irish (6-5), losing to a 19 1/2 -underdog ranks among the worst losses in school history and leaves coach Charlie Weis with a 28-20 record in four seasons.
Weis’s 58.3 winning percentage is the same that Bob Davie was fired with after five seasons and Tyrone Willingham after three. Weis has seven years left after this season on a 10-year contract.

And yet, he is a GIGANTIC POMPOUS ASS. It is just unbeweevable how much the Irish SUCK.

Mike Downey departs Chicago Tribune
Mike Downey, who returned home to Chicago in 2003 as a Tribune sports columnist, is leaving the paper.
Da comments are fun, such as: "There isn't a single writer for the Trib that makes it worth the resources it takes to recycle the paper it's written on." Did Corms write dis?

Mike Downey, who returned home to Chicago in 2003 as a Tribune sports columnist, is leaving the paper.
"The Tribune was generous enough to make me one of the best-paid sportswriters in the history of this business, so I certainly can't fault the paper for doing this now that times are hard," Downey said Thursday.
Tribune Associate Managing Editor for Sports Dan McGrath informed his staff "with profound sadness" in a note hailing Downey, who was a must-read at the Chicago Daily News and Sun-Times before becoming a columnist for the Detroit Free Press and Los Angeles Times, as a "wise, wry, sane voice of reason."

tollway approves fast lane for rich phokks
Illinois tollway OKs $400 million congestion-relief project
So one half-empty lane and two lanes of people who can't afford a price gouge sitting bumper to bumper will reduce emissions.... hmmm....
How much extra will it cost me if they throw in a hooker? (Is that why they're called HOT lanes?)

Iceland : plenty of room
News item: Iceland had to borrow about $10bn yesterday, roughly the size of its entire gross domestic product, to prevent its economy from collapsing. . .
The loans will expose 320,000 Icelanders to a brutal recession, soaring inflation and an enormous debt burden that will haunt them for years in the form of taxes, threatening to trigger mass emigration. Up to a third of the population have said they want to flee the island.
In related news: Market analysts said panic had set in among traders. "Markets are utterly unhinged," said Bill O’Donnell, a strategist at UBS

Earfquake, what earfquake?
FYI, there was a 5.0 earthquake at 11:23am this morning, centered near Calexico in Baja California. No reports of damage but “the U.S.G.S. reports the quake was felt by people as far away as downtown San Diego, La Jolla and Miramar.” Did anyone in the Libraries feel it?
