OT: Nebraska vs Oklahoma rivalry to resume
Nebraska and Oklahoma have announced a home and home series for the 2021 and 2022 football seasons, renewing their rivalry. (LINK)
Now that teams are setting up games that far out, who would you like to see Michigan try and schedule a home and home for in the Big 12? We haven't really played too many teams from that conference in a long time. I personally would love to see us take on Texas in a home and home series, I've always wanted to travel to Austin. Any other ideas?
Musings on Notre Dame and the Rivalry
I posted this over at a blog for which I occasionally write, but it's not a Michigan-centered blog and I don't get much feedback there so I thought I'd share it with the MGoCommunity.
Salty Sam Throws You on a Railroad Track
Being born in 1983 in Ann Arbor to a pair of Michigan alumni was the perfect storm for hating Notre Dame. For my entire life as a minor, Michigan State and Ohio State would occasionally jump up and bite the Wolverines, but they were largely just fodder for Michigan whether the coach was Schembechler, Moeller, or Carr. Notre Dame, however, was in the midst of selling its soul under Lou Holtz who was himself in the midst of getting his second of three straight schools at which he coached in hot water with the NCAA (Minnesota before and South Carolina after ND). Ethics aside, Holtz was a darn good coach which made his bizarre personality and speech pattern all the more obnoxious. At least John L. Smith has the decency to be nothing but comedy relief.
Holtz took the reigns in South Bend in 1986. After losing his first game against Michigan (and debut as Irish coach), 24-23, Holtz then led the Irish to 4 straight victories over Michigan, a stretch that included the 1988 national title for the Irish as well as the "stop kicking it to Rocket Ismail, please" game in 1989 when the Irish and Wolverines were ranked 1-2 to start the year. During this time I ranged in age from 4-7 and my father, like any true Wolverine would, grew an intense distaste for Holtz and the Domers, which I of course fully absorbed. I needed no other reason to hate Notre Dame, but then NBC made it even easier with their absurd TV contract. Half of my Michigan-Notre Dame viewing experiences have featured Tom Hammond (honorable mention in terribleness to ABC/ESPN for subjecting me to Brent Musberger for the other half)
Anyway, 1991 rolled around and in came the Irish to Ann Arbor looking for an unfathomable fifth straight win over the Wolverines. Michigan fans are rightfully (much of the time, anyway) noted for their arrogance, but in 1991 if there was one fan base that could out-smug the Wolverines it was Notre Dame. I was already destined to be a Wolverine slappy, but this cemented me for life:
That play and Remy Hamilton's winner in 1994 are the two that most stand out to me in my early Michigan football memories (of the positive ones, anyway. Don't even mention Miami in 1988. Crap, I just did). Holtz "retired" following the 1996 season. There still isn't a stated reason why. Holtz said "it was the right thing to do." Irish aficionados will tell you it was because the school's brass didn't want Holtz to surpass Knute Rockne's all-time wins record of 105. The likely reason became clear in 1999 when the Irish were hit with probation by the NCAA for failing to report improper benefits and academic fraud during the tenures of Holtz and his successor, Bob Davie. In any case, Holtz was gone and the first of many mediocre coaches to roam the sidelines in South Bend had taken over, so life must have been dandy for the Maize and Blue, right? Not so.
The Irish kept managing to defend their home turf despite fielding lousy teams and despite things like the hilarious hiring gaffe of resume doctor George O'Leary. The "Return to Glory" and "Field Goal Jesus" jokes were always funny, but not as funny as they should have been because Notre Dame still found ways to maintain some relevance by beating ranked Michigan teams. It wasn't until Charlie Weis' "decided schematic advantage" and then Brian "Grimace" Kelly that Michigan was able to put more than one consecutive win together against the Irish. The three most recent saw the Wolverines snatch victory in the waning seconds (I think the first two were by design; Rich Rodriguez didn't know how to win any other way) and the two most recent saw jaw-dropping offensive numbers from Michigan's quarterback, Denard Robinson. The 2012 game brought an opportunity for Michigan to win four straight against the Irish, matching the Irish's streak at the end of the 80's. Notre Dame is Salty Sam, always up to no good until, just when you thought all hope was gone, along Comes Jones in the form of Denard Robinson. There are three verses to the song. This would be Robinson's third and final game against the Irish. The thought of a third thrilling victory for Robinson was just delightful. The idea for this post came to me on Thursday, but I didn't dare say anything about it for fear of the jinx.
This game would be played in South Bend, however, and other than a couple blips on the radar South Bend has been the Bermuda triangle for Michigan. Whether it be an errant pass somehow still completed in 1990, Carlyle Holiday fumbling on the 1 and still getting a touchdown in 2002, or the 2008 slop-fest, good things don't often happen for Michigan in Notre Dame Stadium. The Ghost of Irish Past reared its ugly head again on Saturday and Robinson, with a little help from his friends, had the worst day of his Michigan career. 5 interceptions and a fumble and Michigan still only lost by 7 points. You can make a case that the better team has lost in this game for four straight years now. I was mad, but if you've watched enough of Denard Robinson it's impossible to really be upset with him. He's seen more in his 22 years (oh yeah, Saturday was his 22nd birthday) than most will in their lifetimes. His humility is equally evident in victory as well as defeat. So, instead of seething over this game for two weeks (Michigan has a bye on Saturday) like I would do pretty much every other year, I'm going to try damn hard to get past it because there are only 8-10 opportunities left to watch Denard Robinson in a Michigan uniform. Sure, he's a feast-or-famine kind of player, but when it's been feast I haven't had as much fun watching football since Charles Woodson donned the Maize and Blue.
As for Notre Dame, they've decided to opt out of the rivalry after 2014 due to
joining the ACC scheduling issues. The good news is games like Saturday's won't happen so much, but I'll still miss the rivalry. To me Notre Dame will always be Salty Sam, trying to saw Michigan all in half. It sucks when they succeed, but there's nothing sweeter than when Jones comes along and saves the day. Michigan-ND was a game I looked forward to more than any other; it was better when it was the first game of the year, but sadly Lou Holtz put and end to that by scheduling warm-up games in the early 90's. There's no doubt Bo was right ("To Hell with Notre Dame!"), but it was always truer when Michigan sent them there.
Men's Basketball: What is the biggest rivalry game?
I am curious about your thoughts as to what the current biggest rivalry game is for the men's basketball team . . .
Back in my day (1993-97), I think the majority would say that the Duke game in December was the biggest rivalry game. (It seemed to get the most attention and draw the biggest number of students sleeping out and lining up to get first-come, first-serve seats.) After the Fab Five left, it seems like the Michigan State games became the biggest rivalry games. Now, being further removed from the program, I'm not sure as to what the general sentiment is on campus. Is Michigan State the biggest rival? Ohio State? I'm interested in reading your thoughts.
North-South Divisional Alignment For Big Ten?
Thinking Outside the Vertical Split
So I'm sitting here reading how the Big Ten is going to split up the conferences and I'm noticing something. The way that most people have it set up is for a east-west alignment. Which makes sense. Its a lot easier to split up. I personally like the 4 division set ups better. But that does get complicated and if the Big Ten will not use a 4 division set up. Why not go North-South? This way, you get to keep the Michigan-OSU rivalry and have a chance at having a UM-OSU Big Ten Championship Game. We all know that would bring in the most money and definitely the most T.V. air time. The way i look at it, we could split the divisions up like this.
|Ohio State
|Michigan State
|Penn State
Now with this setup, the first thing you will notice is that this is not at all even. North has Arguably 1 mediocre team while the south has 2-3. The only way i can think of to make sure that this evens out is to make each division play the other division. This is very different but could completely even things out. ALL the teams in the North would play ALL the teams in the south, and vice versa.
How Will This Work?
Whoever has the Best record against the other division, is the winner of the division, and will get to play in the Big Ten Championship Game. This way. OSU and Nebraska (the presumable winners of the South) have to play the exact same teams, and you can compare the records equally and will have no dispute over who had a weaker schedule. Now this only leaves 6 games, which means we have 3 left. 3 divisional games, 3 random teams within the division. (Assuming that we move to 9 conference games for this setup)
What If They Both Go 5-1?
If two or more teams have the exact same record against the other division, then we look at record within the division. If that is the same, then we look at if the two teams played each other. If they did, then the winner of that game goes to the Big Ten Championship Game. If they didn't, then we see what the average points that the teams won by was(against the other division). Whoever won by more points is that divisions winner.
In addition this also ensures that UM and OSU play EVERY year, and that UM-OSU Big Ten Championship Game is possible every year..
- The UM-OSU rivalry will take place every year, no matter what
- There is a chance at a UM-OSU Big Ten Championship Game every year
- There will be no reasonable argument for someone winning there division with an easier schedule
- Not too complicated
- The South will more than likely be an easier division every year (if people really want to argue about that)
- Some rivalry's may not take place every year
- People will still argue someone having an easier road to the Big Ten Championship Game
- It is out-of-the-norm for divisional splits
Why Not Have South Play Teams In The South And North Play Teams In The North?
Thats thinking in the box, not out of the box, which is the point of this post.
Redundant threads/Polling station
This problem is getting out of hand. Most everyone knows what I am talking about: Threads that ask the same tired questions over and over again.
Like: How many wins will we get this year?
Or: Will Devin Gardner start as a true freshman?
It is now only February and the frequency of these threads will only increase the closer we get to September. We need to stop the madness.
We do not need another discussion. We need a poll. A place where every joe-six-pack with an opinion about who will start at quarterback, can make their voice heard without bogging down the best message board in the universe.
I doubt this will put an end to the problem completely. But if it stops even one more thread from being created about how many wins it will take for R.Rodriguez to keep his job, then it will have been worth it.
Big Game Rooting Interests
So I was wondering what the general feeling is amongst the MGoUsers about the rivalry games this weekend. I'm torn as to the USC-ND game but don't really have a rooting interest in the UT-OU game (other than my girl being a UT fan I guess that answers that question).
As for the USC-ND game I'm obviously conflicted (I think most are) on one hand we have ND and we hate them and they suck and *insert we hate rival verbiage here.* However, on the other hand, should ND win that means Front Butt might not get fired (woo!) and, almost as important, Clausen might be viewed as one of the top QB prospects in the land and considering the rookie salary cap starting next season (most likely) would be likely to leave and that would be awesome so we don't have to deal with him next year.

Responsibilities of the Counter-Culture
I have said since I was very young that us conservative/libertarian types are the counter culture.
There was a time when young people wanted to fight the man. Now the man collects $60k to $100k a year feeding them lies in the classroom, all the while claiming to fight the man alongside them.
Quick tip to the students out there who maintain relationships with their teachers/professors…
They aren't hip, cool, or even groovy. If they claim to be on your side in the fight against "The Man" whomever they claim that to be (white males, capitalism, racism, etc.) they are lying.
They are more than likely part of one of the most powerful entities in the country (teachers unions,) and therefore incapable of fighting authority… Because they are the authority…
But I digress…
My writing today is inspired by my grandmother.
Grandma is an Irish Catholic that grew up in the late 50's early 60's, who married a man that later became a fireman and moved his family from east LA (at that time not a shit hole,) to Orange County.
Grandma is a staunch conservative and religious woman. The rich tones of Dennis Prager's voice can be heard coming from her living room's entertainment center speakers every weekday morning from 9 AM to 12 PM. She attends mass every Thursday, and she still irons tee shirts for some reason.
She has a great disdain for foul language, though her husband and both of her sons are so linguistically adept in the art of obscenity that their frustration fueled soliloquies have been at times dubbed Shakespearean.
She insists that her grandchildren "smile more often" and "wear more color" as black should only be worn to funerals.
She enjoys Frankie Valli, The Jersey Boys, and literally every artist featured on the American Graffiti soundtrack. If's she's not watching HGTV, she's more than likely watching Green Acres on TVland. Her idea of edgy programming features Dean Martin and Foster Brooks at a bar pretending to be drunk.
If one calls her landline (which she believes still tangibly utilizes a metal wire,) and does not state one's name along with the reason for one's call upfront you will be promptly hung up on. If you disrespect her and or anyone in her party, she will speak to your manager.
She raised two sons successfully who in turn gave her four grandchildren. And if you are lucky enough to be one of those four grandchildren you will be fed sandwiches anytime you enter her home along with shortbread cookies (ginger snaps when she's feeling extra geriatric) and a Coca-Cola.
She's a patriot. A true American. A true American who almost lost her country…
If Hillary Clinton had won, the America she knew and loved– the one that she grew up in would be lost, possibly forever.
She understood this, and though I'm sure it killed her she began modernizing herself for the sake of her country.
You see, young people who are not intellectually challenged understand that the right is the new counter-culture. It's the side that leaves you alone.
While the right will in fact judge, it won't try and legislate its judgments beyond the state level, if at all.
This year we have seen a tremendous demographic shift in the conservative movement. We are no longer the movement of just middle-class white America. We are now the movement of fags, trannies, pot smokers, blue collar democrats and even Kanye West!
Trump won because we all came together against a common enemy.
That enemy? Tyranny.
It is important for us on the conservative right to acknowledge that without those with whom we may disagree when it comes to social culture, we could not have retained our political culture.
Without those who disagree with us when it comes to religious beliefs, acceptable sexual behavior, substance usage, and the portrayal of such issues in media, we would have lost our country
And without us stuffy, white, conservatives… Fags themselves wouldn't be permitted to say the word fag, any and all sexual contact would require a written contract prior to engagement, and Islamic extremists would be allowed to rape, pillage, and murder anyone they please on American soil.
While the religious right, and the alternative right, are different in nature when it comes to social culture they value the most important constitutional principle equally:
We could not have done it if we had not come together. The new counter-culture, the conservative movement is the most diverse and unpredictable group of people that have ever been classified as similar.
And for that, we must thank one another. We must not break the bonds that hold us together.
If you are a stoner, be considerate about your habit, don't smoke it around children or in confined public places. You're gonna piss off Archie Bunker (who's my homie btw)
For the fags out there, we don't care if you get married, we don't care what you do in your own bedrooms, so don't shove it in our faces or sue us when we refuse to bake you a wedding cake.
For the stuffy old white people out there, they aren't fucking your sons in the ass, or getting married in your churches. If they are, that's an issue you have to bring up with your church. So don't march in protest, don't hold up a sign that says God hates fags. (As if that was us to begin with…)
Instead of defining ourselves by our differences let's define ourselves by the things that we hold in common– The common belief that all men are created equal and shall be valued that way by their government. The common belief that the government does not grant us our rights, but that we grant it's.
If we live lifestyles that are incompatible, then we must work together to remedy our close quarters. If you don't like watching queers make out, don't move to West Hollywood. And if you're a fag and don't like getting strange looks from passing families as you kiss your mate, don't move to Orange County… or at the very least no tongue please…
Look, I'm kidding, but I'm also not.
My grandmother about had a heart attack the first time she saw a tattoo on my skin. She will never get used to it. She will never approve. But she will never disown me either.
She will never stop offering me sandwiches and Coca-Cola when I come to her home. She will never stop forwarding me silly emails, or pestering me about wearing black all the time. She will never deny that we share blood.
And we Americans can't either. We all share American blood. The blood of freemen and the blood of men willing to fight for those who are not free.
We've been the counterculture for the past 20 years. It's time we become the culture. Not the social culture but the political culture. We cannot achieve this if we do not stand together.
Trump won because we all came together against a common enemy. We cannot beat the left separated so if we wish to live on in an America that values freedom we must learn to live and let live.
Self-segregate and support each other in times of need.
We have a responsibility to set aside our petty differences in order to combat those with whom we have big ones.
Be thankful we live in America. Be thankful we didn't lose for good this last go around.
This just in!
I have received information from an inside source confirming there are, in fact, assholes in the world!
All of our suspicions have been confirmed! Turns out in America you are allowed to say whatever you want no matter how offensive and subsequently some people use said power in a distasteful manner!
The horror! THE HORROR!!!
If you have been paying attention to any of the popular online media sources like HuffPo or Buzzfeed you have surely come across curated collections of testimony from supposed targets of racial harassment.
Now I must say I am highly skeptical of these sort of stories unless they include video. Not even pictures suffice these days with all the fraudulent bullshit the left has tried to pull during this election cycle.
However, let's just say for the sake of argument that these experiences people are having are real.
What does Trump have to do with any of it?
What would be different had Hillary won the election?
If you are going to claim that with a Hillary victory these kind of experiences would cease to exist then you must also admit that you do not believe in freedom of speech and would in fact actively seek to silence those with whom you disagree.
Their narrative is ridiculous. Like Gavin Mcinness has been saying lately; What is their scenario? What do they foresee as being the new normal under a trump presidency? Do they actually believe swaths of Trump supporters are going to go around beating up handicapped kids, whipping Mexicans and lynching blacks because "Trump is president! It's legal now! Yeeehaw!"
That world doesn't exist. None of us find that kind of behavior acceptable. So what then are they talking about?
I recently saw a friend post on facebook about the sudden upswing in racist activity that has hit the radar.
In his post he stated that he has no problem with Trump aside from the "mental platform" that he has provided for racists to become more vocal in this country.
Now if I am interpreting what he wrote correctly, he is saying he feels Trumps election has made it easier and much more socially acceptable for racists to be dickheads. Because the average non-racist American is so fed up with the PC and safe space culture that has dominated the country for the past 8 years, he/she is unsympathetic when real incidents of non-violent racism take place.
There may be some truth there. And unfortunately for you anti-Trump lefties out there that is the cultural bed you have made for yourselves and you are going to have to sleep in it.
Now this friend of mine also mentioned in and his post some feelings he had about nationalism and his role as the first generation (I'm guessing since he said his parents didn't speak English well) of natural born citizens in his family.
And there's plenty of discussion to be had on such topics. However, right now what is important is that we do not allow this safe space propaganda to affect our lives negatively.
America has spoken. Trump is in. We made that decision collectively, and we did it confidently. The margin says it all.
Now we must be sure that we do not allow the left, and the swaths of SJW's rioting in the streets to make us feel guilty.
We need to treat our neighbors as we'd like to be treated. We all know that. Some people aren't going to follow said golden rule and that sucks.
But as far as collective outrage goes? Over name calling and racial slurs?
Toughen up. Come get us when you get pulled out of your car and beaten for being a Hillary supporter. Anything short of that…
Shut the fuck up and get out of the way.
We have an economy to fix.
Quick Notes: Democracy, Mob Rule and an Immature Electorate
As you already know, the left (millennials specifically), have broken out into temper tantrums all over the country.
Business as usual…
Why you might ask?
Because they're unhappy with the outcome of our presidential election.
It's really quite a comedic display of immaturity. What outcome do they seek?
Whether or not you like the outcome of our election process does not matter. It is in fact, and will remain so, objective reality.
You can bitch and complain all you want about our blue sky if you wish it to be purple. Yet that does not change the fact that it is blue and shall remain so, so long as the laws of physics remain in effect.
But that's just it. The left, millennials, do not wish for the laws of physics to remain in effect.
They do not care that the laws of physics provide us with a structure that allows for an environment possessing the characteristics necessary to afford us life. And not just life, but a life that we may improve.
In case I have lost you with my tangent, "stream of consciousness" metaphor, I am referring to the constitution.
You see the millennials have long ago been robbed of the knowledge that we do not live in a democracy. Rather we live in a constitutional republic.
Now, throughout high school and more than likely middle school as well, they would/will have encountered history and/or civics teachers that will tell them there is no difference between a republic and a democracy.
They will claim that the literal definition of republic is democracy.
Well, if that is the case then why do we not call it a constitutional democracy?
Furthermore why am I always corrected when I call it a constitutional republic if they mean the same thing?
Why do so many refuse to use the word republic?
Why did James Madison write about the difference?
If you don't know the answer to this question, you probably have not been paying attention to the pleas of many leftists, and even Republicans in this past election cycle.
By swapping the word republic for the word democracy, it is much easier to entertain ideas contradictory to our constitution when they are popular among the masses.
It's a tactic the left uses all the time.
They are able to make abortion more palatable by swapping the word baby for fetus.
Just as they're able to to lessen the perceived criminality of illegal immigrants by swapping the word illegal for undocumented.
It's genius, and one of the oldest tricks in the book.
OK, so what exactly are they trying to change about our electoral process?
The most prominent issue at the moment…
The Electoral College.
They claim it is no longer necessary, and bitch every time their candidate wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote.
As we established earlier, we do not live in a democracy where the mob rules. We live in a constitutional republic and as such the founders laid out a structure that ensures every state gets to participate in federal arrangements. All 50 sovereign states. (Even the small ones with fewer people)
If you don't know how the electoral college works refer to Article 2 of the United States Constitution which you should own a copy of.
If you don't…🙄
Go check out the PragerU video about it or visit the National Archives and Records Administration's website.
The founders designed the electoral college in such a way that promotes unity of the states. It forces presidential nominees to campaign and address the issues of all Americans.
You see the left looks at it wrong. They look at it from the standpoint of the individual and not from the standpoint of the states.
We are not electing a leader to lead us as individuals. We already have one of those; that leader is called a governor. We are electing a leader to lead us as sovereign states.
Ignoring rural areas with smaller populations is not only morally wrong, but it is also a recipe for disaster. It's a great way to cause conflict between states. Do I really need to remind you of the French Revolution?
I know many college aged New Yorkers couldn't give a shit less about what a bunch of "God fearing, sister fucking hicks" in the middle of the country want… but they really ought to rethink it. Those states are important too… Many of them grow your food.
If the rioting and the childish temper tantrums are not enough to prove to you we are failing our country's youth (and subsequently our country) in building well informed, intelligent, mature members of society, maybe their latest petition will.
How can we ever expect America to live on after we pass if the generation we are handing it down to doesn't even understand what it's about?
Post election thoughts
I sat in traffic for 45 minutes this morning to go 15 miles… And I smiled the whole Goddamn way.
When I finally got to work I pounded a rebull and two coffees to fight off the symptoms of sleep deprivation. Which of course sent me straight to the restroom so that I may listen to my bowels tell me how much they hate me. I smiled throughout the duration of that experience as well.
I smiled not because Donald Trump won.
I didn't smile because his policies will usher in a new era of economic prosperity if enacted as he has promised.
I didn't smile because his understanding of the dangers to American safety will ensure that my mother, sister and girlfriend can go out into public without fear of getting gang raped by sharia law enthusiasts.
I didn't smile because rule of law may once again be restored in our political process.
And I didn't smile because the #NeverTrumpers got it stuck in there ass. (Okay well maybe a little 😏)
While thoughts of these things have enhanced my joyous mood… they are not the cause.
I am joyous not because Trump won, but because Hillary lost.
Her defeat illustrates America's understanding of where we have been headed for the past 8 years.
Her defeat symbolizes hope for the survival of the western world.
It is true, we do indeed have our work cut out for us.
We took back the presidency. We have taken back the high ground. It is time to kick them while they are down and make damn sure they do not get back up.
We need to be vigilant in not only holding President Trump to his promises but also in the education of the next generation. We need to be sure they know just how close we came to losing it all.
I believe Trump will do what he says he is going to do. But whether he does or not is a matter for tomorrow.
Tomorrow we can rally the troops and discuss our next plan of attack.
But today I'm going to enjoy the ocean breeze here in sunny Southern California.
I'm going to smell flowers, pet furry animals of all shapes and sizes and smile at strangers.
I'm going to take comfort in knowing that though we came close…
Though the end of the western world and human progress was just around the corner…
America still had enough sense to say…
lol! Well…
In the words of Michael Moore –
…Hell! I might even go to church this Sunday.
A Reluctant, but Conservative Argument for Trump…
I am disappointed.
The debate tonight was horrendous. If it wasn't for all the fun I was having on Twitter I might even have shut it off.
It seemed very obvious to me who Fox wanted to look good. *cough* Bush *Cough*
But I guess I should have expected that out of them as they are literally the most establishment media source on the right.
What bugged me even more was how much I really enjoyed what Rubio had to say.
Someone has got to get that fool squared away on immigration so I can vote for him because I am sorry but that is a deal breaker.
And Ted… What the fuck Ted… What was that?
Not only did you whine like a bitch… But you acted like an arrogant fool.
Thats why we all like you. You do not wear arrogance well. That was evident tonight…
Speaking of the Donald…
Well played DT… Well played indeed…
Here's the deal folks:
I am about to lay some truth on you so listen up. It is a harsh truth. One I like no more than the rest of you.
And that's the gamble right?
He has a shady record for sure. He's not a conservative by any means. But he is brilliant and he is a business man.
I don't want any deals struck with Mitch McConnell or Chuck Schumer. I don't want deals made with anyone.
What I want is someone like Cruzer who will get up and fight for my principles. But even now… A day and age I thought I'd never see if you had asked me in 2012… Where Ted Cruz is an actual front runner… WE MAY NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY.
Our country will not make it through the next presidential term no matter who the president is if we do not get our economy under control and our borders LOCKED THE FUCK UP!
Marco Rubio is soft on immigration = NOT AN OPTION
Ted Cruz not positive can beat Hillary = NOT AN OPTION
Which leaves us with who?
Donald Trump might be the worst president in the history of the United States when it comes to actual conservative principles. But he might be the handful of sand we need to win this boxing match.
I listened to Mark Levin speak all afternoon about how Trump is not a conservative and how low is favorability ratings are and blah blah blah blah blah
"Don't give up on our guys now!" he says! "Never abandon your principles!" he says!
Yeah Mark… You are right. If nothing else our principles should be the one thing we hold dearest to our hearts and minds.
I should be willing to die for my principles. And I am…
But brother I ain't in the business of dying.
Especially not when I think we might actually have a shot at turning this thing around. Even if that means voting for someone who is not as principled as we are in order to beat Hillary.
Ted Cruz – Not sure if he can win the primary let alone beat Hillary : NO GO
Donald Trump – Don't know if I trust him but at least he can win : ….hmmm
A vote for Donald Trump may not be a vote for a principled America.
And it certainly isn't a vote for a perfect America.
But it is a vote for a surviving America.
Every now and again you have got to throw a hand full of sand to win the fight even though it goes against your principles. Every now and then you have to go against your principles in order to save them.
Donald Trump may ruin this country.
But his tax plan and immigration policies alone will turn the economy around in the blink of an eye.
Can we trust him to follow through? I don't know.
But in a country where to this day the majority of people in America DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TED CRUZ IS!!!
…I'll take my chances with the big name.
By Christians, For Christians… That's right, I said it!
As a part of the libertarian community all to often I am subject to the whining that so many young/naive libertarians do about the separation of church and state.
The reason for the whining is obvious, and that is that most young people immaturely and naively hate being told what to do. This, in many cases, is what draws them towards libertarianism in the first place- Our belief that man should be free to do as he pleases to some extent.
In contrast with their naive attraction to libertarianism (which is fundamentally a good thing) is their attraction towards secularism (which is fundamentally a bad thing.)
Though I just jabbed a bit at the secular libertarians/conservatives for being secular (and I will continue to do so) this is not the topic I wish to discuss today.
All I wish to do is suggest that the passion that is exhibited by said heathens during discussion with their own side, in regards to the separation of church and states, is a bit unnecessary.
So hear me out.
Point number one:
Let's speak strictly philosophically here for a moment shall we?
If we are to accept as a nation the nonexistence of God, we are also accepting the lack of any existence after death including that in which punishment takes place.
Now many of you secular libertarians maintain that if someone needs a higher power to scare you into doing "the right thing" then that someone is a piece of shit.
By that logic I am, and I wager most of you are (if you are intellectually honest with yourselves), pieces of shit.
I am someone that needs fear of punishment as motivation to be good. I happen to believe that this is a logical way of life. I believe you would be a moron to be "good" in the subjective moral world that exists without monotheism. But what does that matter?
The mere fact that I admit people like me exist, that is people who believe themselves to be evil in nature, should be enough to make you "morally superior, mature, intelligent, enlightened atheist libertarians" back off the separation of church and state issue.
The risk of societal collapse is far greater when its people fall to secularism. At the very least one must acknowledge the degree of barbarism in times of chaos is less intense in a monotheistic society when compared to that of a secular one. Don't believe me? Just compare the French revolution to the American revolution.
Aren't all of you libertarians fearful of economic collapse in the U.S?
Do you not look around at your peers who are "feeling the Bern" and wonder what is to come?
Why then do you choose to hammer on religious Christian conservatives so much?
I am a constitutionalist. I get it. I don't want the church running the country either.
I get that you want your porn, your marijuana and your whore houses.
I understand that there are some small things that you and Christian conservatives disagree on,
but that's exactly my point! They are small things, and in the meantime you tear our political party in two.
I know you folks are smart enough to realize that the "Social Justice Warrior" left is far more likely to regulate your lives than the Christian right.
Point number two:
Now here is a mind blowing thought. Are you ready?
This country was founded by Christians, for Christians.
I can practically feel the collective rage of all you secular libertarians out there as I type!
If you are someone who read that last statement and is thinking:
Don't, and riddle me this…
If all of our founding fathers were secular and did not want a country centered around God, why does our federal law reflect that of a Judeo-Christian people?
Have you ever stopped and considered for a moment that for all intents and purposes you are a Christian? Practically speaking, if you don't murder, you don't steal, you don't leave your wife high and dry with kids to feed and no income then you are living as a Christian. At the fundamental level at least.
If you follow our laws, you generally speaking, are treating your neighbor as you would wish to be treated, and that is the golden rule in the eyes of Christ.
Those of us who don't live as Christians in the United States of America are jailed.
Whether you are an Atheist, a Nihilist, a Satanist, a Muslim, or a Buddhist does not matter. In this land you are required to act in a way that does not conflict with the teachings (at a fundamental level) of a Jew or a Christian. This, also means that you are in fact living (on a fundamental level) as a Christian.
As I said before… By Christians, for Christians.
Did the founders want a secular government? Sure they did!
And so maybe Christians ought to lay off the nativity scenes on the lawns of federal buildings. But it should be clear enough to you libertarians out there that are secular that nativity scenes on the lawns of local governmental buildings should be a local decision. Why?
Because even if the founders wanted a secular government, they most certainly wanted a God centered society.
So stop acting like a bunch of fucking ten year olds when someone says "one nation under God" in the pledge of allegiance. At least they still say the fucking thing! I'd be surprised if most high school students knew it by heart!
And if you still don't believe the founders were Christian, you should try reading some primary source documents penned at their hands instead of listening to your commie professor who is to arrogant to take Howard Zinn's dick out of his mouth for a single second in order to teach some actual history.
At the very least check out Joshua Charles' book Libery's Secrets: The Lost Wisdom of America's Founders

Daily rainstorms hampered Brandt Garon's ability to work on his golf game this week, but he showed no ill effects Saturday afternoon.
Threatening clouds showed up late in the day, but Garon played lights-out from start to finish as he won two matches to advance to the third round of the Baton Rouge Amateur Championship.
Seeded 23rd, Garon defeated Chester Saunders, 8 and 6, and then ousted six-time champion Scott Haynie in the afternoon, 5 and 4.
Garon is among 16 players left standing after two rounds of match play. Third-round play begins at 7 a.m. and will be followed by an 18-hole, stroke play final round at 1 p.m.
"It was a little sketchy this week," said Garon, who will be a sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the fall. "I've been working a junior (golf) camp, and every day it rains after camp. I was interested to see how I would hit it."
The lack of practice proved to be a minor thing, particularly in the afternoon round when Garon birdied seven of 14 holes in his match with Haynie.
"It's just hard to beat somebody when they're on like that," said 10th-seeded Haynie, who was 2-under through 13 holes before an errant drive eventually led to his concession at the 14th. "He was just pure today."
Of the top 16 seeds, Haynie was one of nine players who were upset Saturday. Five of the top 10 seeds stayed alive, including defending champion Paul Castro.
Castro defeated Steve Thompson, 5 and 4, and followed that with an afternoon win over Dillon Mathies, 6 and 4.
Second seed Donny Schmitt, third seed Russ Gaudin, and fifth seed Emmitt McKnight all won first-round matches only to lose in the afternoon.
Seventh seed Adam Zayor won both his matches, including a 19-hole second-round game against Chris Husser. Zayor and Garon will square off in the third round.
Garon, who advanced to the tournament's final eight three years ago as a high school junior, rolled in a 25-foot birdie at the par-3, second to take a 1-up lead on Haynie. Haynie squared the match with a birdie at three before the pair matched pars on the next two holes.
Garon then reeled off three consectuive birdies to grab a two-hole lead. On the sixth, Garon put his approach two feet below the pin, and a nifty bunker shot at the par-5 seventh left him a tap-in birdie.
At eight, Garon drained a 10-footer as he would lead 2-up over Haynie at the turn. On the back side, Garon took control with another three-birdie binge beginning at 11.
This time, there wasn't much work left for Garon's putter after he put his approach inside 10 feet on 11, 12 and 13. At 14, Haynie drove in the water, and conceded the hole after he failed to hole his fourth shot from fairway.
"Every time I made a birdie, he covered me up. He just played fantastic," Haynie said.
Zayor was 2-up at the turn in his afternoon match before a chip-in helped Chris Husser get back into the match.
Husser's approach at 13 came up short of the green, but just outside a nearby water hazard. Husser's pitch from a steep incline landed in the cup for birdie to win the hole.
Husser eventually birdied 18 to square the match again and force the golfers back to the first tee for a sudden death playoff. Husser pushed his drive into the right rough, and Zayor went on to win the hole with a par.

Love this truck
By miamiredhawk00 on
Vehicle2002 Chevrolet S-10 3dr Extended Cab LS 2WD SB (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
ReviewMy truck has the 4.3 V-6 and the ZQ-8 suspension package, without the ugly x- treme package. I love the look and performance of this truck, it's my weekend rig so it stays in excellent condition. If your looking for a truck that looks and drives like a performance car this is it. I don't know how much weight you could put in the bed, but I really only use it for my bicycles. I purchased used and the only problems I've had were the battery went bad at 30,000 and the 3rd door needed to be adjusted to open properly, it still squeaks a bit while driving but works fine.
Best FeaturesZQ-8 suspension package, wide tires, 4.3 v-6, automatic headlights.
Worst FeaturesI would like a way to turn of the daytime running lights permanently but keep the auto headlights on.

The Kinetic Double Diamond Vest is manufactured exclusively by Klymit with a unique multisport and multifunction design for the warmth and comfort of your body. This insulated vest is thinner and lighter than anything else, standing apart from the rest of insulated garments.
NobleTek Variable Insulation
Users can adjust the amount of insulation on the Kinetic vest for any temperature and condition. This vest has a bunch of individual welded air pockets that can be filled and emptied to change the amount of warmth. NobleTek gas chambers fill up with air or argon and allow you to adjust the amount of inflating gas to let you control the degree of insulation. The chambers run vertically in a double diamond pattern, which gives the vest a distinct look when inflated. The pattern laminates are welded in a proprietary high-tech processes, making a durable fabric with consistent flexibility. Heat sealed gas chambers have distinct tube style design for optimized warmth and comfort. They conform to your body snugly, so the vest never loses loft like traditional insulation do. Unlikely any down garments, double diamond chambers do not create cold spots due to uneven distribution of insulation. Punctures are repairable with the Tear-Aid Patch Kits.
The vest comes with a dry air pump for inflating and deflating it. The air inflator is situated in its own zipped area within the left-side pocket. You can use argon instead of regular air for even more warmth by connecting a small, portable canister to a valve in the pocket. If you acquire the Argon Starter Kit, pull off the inflator pump and attach the Argon inflator to the tube. The vest is easy to inflate and deflate. Inflation is adjusted by the use of a regulator dial on the left side of the chest. You can purge the Klymit Double Diamond vest with the release valve on the left chest area.
Fully inflated vest can last up to three months before all the argon gas dissipates. One canister can provide two to six fill-ups depending on the vest's size. Klymit claims a 4mm layer of argon has the same thermal conductivity as 14mm of the best synthetic or natural insulators.
NobleTek products allow for compact storage and easy access. Even when inflated this comfortable vest still remains low-profile and flattering. Kinetic Vest is less than 0.2mm when deflated and can fold up in the supplied stuff sack or back pocket.
The insulating value of this vest is pretty phenomenal. Argon is a safe inert gas, non-toxic and non-flammable. It is colorless and odorless. Argon is denser than air. The reason noble gases are great insulators is because of their low thermal conductivity. Argon is virtually weightless. By changing the gas volume in the vest you will modify your insulation within a large scale with no change in weight. When temperature drops, you can shoot more argon into it to increase the insulation.
The vest is breathable. Argon molecules are larger than nitrogen and oxygen ones, which allows ambient air to pass through but retains the Argon gas. The air pockets allow for moisture to escape and keep the loft intact. Pressurized chambers of argon are windproof because never collapse when inflated.
Klymit products are not affected by moisture, the insulation keeps your core body warm – even when your cloths are completely wet for hours. This top of the line product can be used in all four seasons – from torrential summer rain storms to near freezing temperatures. It is extra long in length and you can sit down without getting wet. You can wear this vest in any weather conditions. It can get completely soaked and still provide warmth and help keep your core temperature regulated because it does not use any down or synthetic material that you must dry.
The vest has minimalist design and modern appearance. It hugs the body especially when inflated. The cut of the garment looks athletic and it fits well with various levels of inflation. Details such as stitching, hems, and zippers, are well done. Drawstrings compliment both collar and waist for adjustable fit. Ventilation is enhanced while deflated.
The low friction polyester shell is a durable and soft 4-way stretch fabric which maintains its thermal properties when wet and even submerged. The material is abrasion resistant with flexible chambers laminated between a soft outer shell, able to handle moving around, it does not impede movements and leaves your range of motion unhindered.
The Kinetic Vest has two external pockets on each side, not roomy but sized to carry essentials and to serve as warming pockets. The front zipper has a cold barrier with a pebbled texture. It has taped and reinforced seams. The seals at the neck and the stretchy fabric allow it to seal well at the arm holes. You can use the draw strings on the bottom of the vest to tighten it up and prevent air-flow.
Designed primarily for snow sports the vest keeps and holds warmth for preseason skiing. It can hold up to the extreme conditions with a technical top layer.
NobleTek insulation can help rescuers to raise the core temperature even in wet conditions. The vest maintains its softness and utility in sub zero temperatures.

Violin/viola, piano and geniuses
Two classical music geniuses — Pinchas Zukerman on violin and viola and Yefin Bronfman on piano — perform pieces by Schubert, Beethoven and Brahms at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Krannert Center. I fondly recall hearing "Pinky" conduct an orchestra a few years ago at Krannert. At one point he pulled out his violin and played it with casual aplomb.
Flowers become art
Every April I take my mother to Krannert Art Museum to see the annual "Petals and Paintings" exhibition guest-curated by Rick Orr, a freelance florist who had a shop in downtown Champaign and who now works from his home. He taps award-winning florists to create amazing floral arrangements in response to works of art. Smells great too. The public viewing hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, noon-5 p.m. Sunday.
'Bohemia' in Tuscola
Every first Saturday of the month the Vault Arts Collective and Yellow Dog Studio host a big party, with a different theme. Its fifth annual "Bohemia" will be 6 to 10 p.m. this Saturday at the Collective, 100 N. Main St., Tuscola. Ashley Riley will perform live music and there will be refreshments and lots of art to peruse. Free!

I've seen this film before but since I found it laying around and I had nothing better to do I decided to watch it one more time. I can't say I haven't enjoyed it because I would be lying but I am a bit disapointed and you can see that from the rating. At the end of the film it leave a very clear and distinctive point that there will be a sequell, and well there is none.

Regulation of Network Sectors in the EU: A Federalist Perspective
The vertical allocation of regulatory powers within the European two-level system of network sector regulation is analysed from the perspective of the economic theory of legal federalism. The analysis shows that sophisticated combinations of harmonised European rules along with sufficient scope for decentralised decisions of national regulators seem to be optimal. Especially interesting is that networks of regulatory authorities (as BEREC in telecommunications) can play an important role in regard to balancing the advantages and disadvantages of (de)centralisation. Whereas in regard to telecommunication a further shifting of regulatory powers to the EU level cannot be recommended, both in energy and railway markets it might still be necessary to strengthen the regulatory power of the EU.

Discussion in 'Landscape Maintenance' started by rspooner, Feb 22, 2006.
What Is The Best Way To Turnover Or Refresh Mulch?
We prefer to sell a light re mulch instead of charging for labor of fluffing the existing mulch, but a pitchfork and metal rake will do the job if you go that route. BILL
We use a mantis or little wonder tiller to turn it over.
I only use a tiller in the spring when I'm preping the beds for fresh mulch.
I normally use a hard rake to fluf the mulch then level it with the flat side.
I use a pitch fork or a good stiff rake. you can also get a spray at lesco that puts color back into the mulch.

Melbourne, Australia (PressExposure) January 15, 2010 -- PERTH, Dec. 7 â Fremantle Hospital in Perth, Western Australia has installed six CARESTREAM DRX-1 Systems in general x-ray rooms across its radiology and emergency departments. The 450 bed hospital was one of the first to order the innovative DRX-1 System from Carestream Health, Inc.
âThe DRX-1 System is very attractive, particularly in our emergency department, as it is the only system available that allows the examination of patients in wheel chairs, beds and trolleys. We are already seeing dramatic improvements in our workflow with a total average examination time reduction of up to 40%,â said Greg Scott, Chief Medical Imaging Technologist, Fremantle Hospital & Health Service. âOn our current CR system we have demonstrated an exposure reduction of 30% for bucky exams and a 50% reduction for extremities.â
The DRX-1 system incorporates a console and a wireless, cassette-sized DR detector that provides a rapid, affordable conversion for users of radiographic film or computed radiography systems. âThe cost savings of purchasing [or retaining your existing] conventional analogue general room with the addition of the DRX-1 System to make it a comprehensive DR facility was significant,â added Scott. It requires no modifications to existing analog equipmentâwhich results in very low installation costsâand a healthcare facility can utilise one detector for many types of exams.
The DRX-1 system incorporates the same innovative software and image processing capability as Carestream Healthâs CR and DR systems, and delivers the same excellent image quality and productivity as these proven platforms. âExcluding big ticket items of CT and MRI, the Fremantle Hospital purchases six CARESTREAM DRX-1 Systems for major acute-care teaching hospital/Page 2
CARESTREAM DRX-1 System is without doubt the best imaging device I have seen in my 33 year career,â said Scott.
More information on the DRX-1 system and other digital medical imaging and healthcare IT solutions from Carestream Health can be found at http://www.carestreamhealth.com.au.

The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identy) is a unique 15-digit decimal number required to identify mobile devices on GSM/3GPP networks. The IMEI was originally defined by the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) and remains part of the GSM and 3GPP standard today.
Operators can block device IMEIs from accessing their network if they have grounds to believe the device is stolen, counterfeit or being used for malicious purposes. Security agencies and government authorities can also use the IMEI to verify the legitimacy of handsets being imported into their country.
To ensure traceability of each item of equipment connected to the network, the IMEI must be unique and manufacturers must ensure no duplication of IMEI. The unique IMEI is derived from an 8 digit Type Allocation Code (TAC) which is assigned by the GSMA.
The structure of the IMEI is the 8 digit TAC followed by a 6 digit serial number and a check digit. These 15 digits combine to make the full 15 digit IMEI as shown below.
|Serial No
|Check Digit
How to find the IMEI
Every authentic GSM and 3GPP device entering the market since 1993 has an IMEI. It can be found by entering *#06# on the device keypad.

This weekend I wanted to open more space up in my office. The first thing I did was put a bunch of books into the bookshelf in my closet, and other books in a container in the closet.
The second thing I did was combine two file areas – my financial folders and my action file. I realized I didn't need the monthly folders that only had 1-3 pieces of paper in them each. Instead I created a yearly file for the pay stubs and bank statements.
I also didn't use most of the tax files. See I input my receipts every couple of weeks and have them in categories on a spreadsheet. So I didn't need the different tax categories in file folders. Now I have tax to be inputted and tax 2011.
Which left all sorts of room for my action files (to pay, to do, to input, kids school stuff.)
Do you have any file folders you aren't using?

I always used to have one catch-all tax folder, and just tossed anything that looked tax-related into it. A couple of years ago I got a set of freedomfiler.com labels and divided it up into a bunch of different categories–bank statements, donation receipts, education paperwork, etc.
Obviously we haven't received all the tax statements yet, but some of those folders have one piece of paper in them. Some have none. Once I do this year's taxes, there's a good chance I'll condense them to one folder again.

Sarah, I lied.
Your name was Sarah and we met at Hogs and Heifers this past Saturday the 27th. I told you I had recently been cheated on and dumped. (my girlfriend was just out of town). We went back to my place and you saw all of her stuff and I acted like I was so mad at her. (in reality, she would've been so mad at me). I stripped for you while you were still clothed because I said my ex-girlfriend never appreciated my body. (I knew I was better looking than most guys you hook up with, so I wanted you to enjoy it). At that point I knew I could do pretty much anything with you, so I did. Among other things: you licked my a******, you let me take pictures of you naked in full light, you let me use what you thought was my ex-girlfriend's vibrator on your own p**** and licked it off. Despite all of that, I ate you out and will admit you tasted as good as you claimed earlier in the night at H&H.
If there's any chance you end up reading this, then please give me a call because I will know you're as h**** a freak as I am. If you don't ever read this, I hope to run into you again one day because I did have fun this weekend.

The movie mogul owns the rights to diaries and photographs detailing Bakley's past affairs with Hollywood stars and he's planning to make a movie from what he's discovered. Garrison's SILVERCREEK ENTERTAINMENT is in development on a feature film and book based on Bakley's life.
The producer is also expected to testify at Robert Blake's trial. Asked who he'd like to portray Bakley and Blake in the film, Garrison suggests KATE HUDSON and Robert Downey Jr would be perfect as the tempestuous couple.11/07/2004 21:10

Jimmy started walking towards the head's office when a group of bullies came up to him. "I'm gonna fuck the shit out of you!" A bully said
"What?" Jimmy and the rest of the bullies replied. "Oops. I meant I'm gonna beat the shit out of you." "Look I don't have time for this. Get the fuck outta my way." Jimmy replied and pushed through them. When he got to the Head's office, Mrs. De Santa was already there. "Get the fuck in there, bitch." She said.
Jimmy walked into the head's office to find him jerking off. "Uhm, Sir?" Jimmy said. "AWW, FUCK" The head replied. "Hopkins, I'm sorry about that. Now what do you want." "I'm the new inmate." Jimmy replied. "Oh, so your the one to suck me off. Well, get to it. If your suck game is good we may do more." The head said. "By the way, you can refer to me as Crabblesnitch, Dr. Crabblesnitch, or the head." The session with Jimmy and Crabblesnitch lasted about 5 minutes. "Now, go get your uniform on." Crabblesnitch said.
When Jimmy got to the Boys' Dorm, he was confronted by a group of bullies. "Aww, shit the fighting tutorial." Jimmy said.
He whooped the bully's ass, as Russel came out of the dorm. "You're dead, new kid. Dead." He said. He ran and punched the shit outta Jimmy. "Hey, you, break it up. That's enough of that. Break it up." A guard said. "Fuck you!" Russel said as he knocked the guard out.
When Jimmy got in the dorm Gary started talking to him. "Hey." He said. "Wanna be friends?" "What? How the hell I walk up in here and that's the first thing I hear? Whatever, man. Fine." Jimmy replied. "Get in your fucking uniform." Gary said "Damn." Jimmy replied.
When Jimmy got his uniform on, he sat on his bed. Petey walked in. "HELLLOOO! YOU LOOK FUCKING SEXY!!" Petey said. "What the fuck?" Jimmy replied. Peter kissed Jimmy on the lips and then left. Jimmy spent 6 hours washing his lips off. By then it was 2 AM, so Jimmy passed out, hitting his head on the sink as he fell to the ground.

B y T o m D a n e h y
IT'S JUNE NOW, the beginning of the Dark Days for those of us who enjoy television. All the season-ending cliffhangers have been hung neatly in place and we've entered that long, cold three-month period of Rerun Hell. About the only chance of seeing something new on TV between now and Labor Day will be if Dan Rather happens to get the same boot that claimed Connie Chung not too long ago.
Hey, maybe she and Maury Povich can have that baby they've been gagging us with over these past few years. And won't society be much the better for that arrival?
As we look back on the past season, we find some pleasant successes, a surprising number of strong dramas, two new networks, and more bad comedy than can be conjured up in all of the legislative bodies in Arizona combined.
Highlights and lowlights:
BEST NEW SHOW: ER on NBC, Thursdays. A rare combination of excellence and ratings success, made all the more unlikely by the fact that it jumped to the top of the heap in the middle of its first season. The real star of the show is its frenetic pace as one emergency after another is piled up like human cordwood. While the cast is skilled and attractive, even season-long viewers will probably be able to name only one character, and that's because Carter is called by his name about 30 times each episode.
Not the best show on TV--heck, it probably isn't in the top five--but a solid freshman season for a show with a lot of promise.
BEST NEW SHOW, RUNNER-UP: Chicago Hope. The other new hospital drama based in the Windy City, Hope is more technical and more offbeat than ER, but it suffers from its sometimes-forced bizarreness. The late-season story line on Mandy Patinkin's Dr. Geiger as genius/madman got a bit tiring, but the mid-season episode involving a patient who checks in with an erection that won't go away and then barely escapes the hospital with his life is an instant classic.
MOST OVERRATED SUCCESS: Friends on NBC, Thursdays. This mildly-amusing sitcom has spawned a Top 10 single and more magazine covers than anyone cares to think about.
Friends tells of a group of twentysomethings with crappy jobs, dead-end relationships and a huge, vaulted-ceiling New York City apartment that Courteney Cox couldn't afford if she were selling her skinny butt on the street.This thing's okay, but it had better not win any Emmys.
PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME: Picket Fences on CBS, Fridays. This is the television equilvalent of German opera. Technically excellent, I suppose, but virtually unwatchable. Alternately preachy and abrasive, this show is too weird by about 90 percent. Somehow it has won the past two Best Drama Series Emmys. Don't bet on a third.
WORST MINI-SERIES: Scarlett on CBS. We could have gone our whole life without a sequel to Gone With The Wind, especially a badly-made, boring one. The guy who okayed this project probably has on his desk right now, The Bible, Part II: Beyond Revelations.
BEST COMEDY: Frasier. Simply delicious. Kelsey Grammar's Frasier is the same old bundle of strength and neuroses, but now he's surrounded by a cast of lunatics that make for huge laughs evry Tuesday night on NBC. David Hyde-Pierce as Frasier's brother Niles is the clear favorite for the Best Supporting Actor Emmy.
MOST IMPROVED: Lois and Clark, ABC Sundays. A light charmer in its first season, this show blossomed this season by focusing less on the super hero and more on the Lois and Clark romance angle.
Industrial-strength babe Teri Hatcher and engagingly vulnerable Dean Cain play the reluctant couple with real style.
Lois and Clark already has NBC's SeaQuest on the run and has helped force the once-invincible Murder, She Wrote off Sunday nights. It also had the season's most appealing cliffhanger, with Lois about to answer Clark's proposal of marriage.
BEST DRAMATIC SERIES: Tough call: the two aforementioned hospital shows; maybe Picket Fences on a good night; NYPD Blues, which actually got better with the addition of Jimmy Smits; a steller season of Law and Order, with the addition of Sam Waterston; the underrated Under Suspicion and two favorites for top honors, Homicide and The X-Files.
The latter were low-rated shows that their respective networks stuck with, to their credit. The X-Files jumped 45 places in the ratings over last year, while Homicide finally started climbing at the end of this season.
Overall, it was a good TV season, with lots of very good to balance out the usual lots of very bad.
Cutline: Great Caesar's ghost! Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain team up for a super show.
