Once again I need to offer a big “thank you” to everyone (especially in the Law School) for their kind words, thoughts, prayers, and notes over the past few days. It’s been interesting (though not in a good way) but there’s some good in all things and I think we’re all trying to keep that [...]

First off, arrangements have been made, Mom is all over this stuff. Everything is set for Saturday in Lexington. It’ll get going at 12:00 with a visitation followed by the funeral with an Irish-style wake to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the family will be accepted because — and you may not know [...]

I just received word that my father passed away yesterday. He was a great man who never fully recovered from the scars (physical or emotional) sustained in Vietnam, and he will be deeply missed. As one might expect, I’m taking a few days off. Please keep my family in your thoughts or prayers (if that’s your [...]

So last night’s game really didn’t sit well with me. It still doesn’t. But that’s the shitty thing about being an Alabama fan — you’re in the middle of one of the best seasons in half-a-decade and you whine about a loss to another top-10 team. Because you expect perfection. Missing Prothro and Closner hurt, bad… [...]

BTE was awesome last night, even if they did go all pro-LSU on me at the end of the show. Those sons of bitches. I’m not going to lie, I’m a little concerned about the game this afternoon, but our boys have shown us all year that they’re going to be up for the game, [...]

via Michelle Malkin after way too long, Bush finally fires back at the intellectually dishonest section of the anti-war left who have been screaming “Bush Lied” since the first cruise missles entered Iraqi airspace… “While it is perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite [...]

I almost neglected that it’s the 230th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. “They have no doubt that it is a damnable business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some unscrupulous man in [...]

KimHo posted a picture of her teaching at school and my immediate thought was “Wow, that’s just begging to be photoshopped.” But I didn’t do aything about that initial urge… but Jerica did. Then Billy noticed Kim’s math error. Being far too great an attention whore to let a game like this go unplayed, I’m tossing [...]

This is a pretty standard UT fan response to the kind of season they’re having this year. The bitterness is palpable. One thing I will point out is that these are the times when it’s really useful to have a little tradition. UT and UMich are having roughly the same kind of year… the big difference [...]

The LawDawg, she has a wonderful sense of humor. Q: How many Auburn fans does it take to eat an armadillo? A: Three. One to eat it and two to watch for cars. She promises to bring the funny in re “that damn cow college on the other side of the state” for the rest of the week… [...]
