Auburn? Laughing my ass off on the floor rolling.
Ohio State #11? Oh, maybe Boise State can end up #1 by beating the Columbus School for Girls field hockey team.
OTOH, Alabama still #7? Oh maybe they can climb to just behind Auburn by losing to Verde Valley School chess team by less than 13 moves.
The BCS is a joke, even by non-geek standards, and should be taken to the wood shed and left. Alone. Penniless. Shamed.

Who Is Trying To Buy Ohio's Gov Election With The $2.5 M Instant Special Interest Group "Our Future Ohio"?
The Democrats are flying a false flag about foreign money in American politics naming the COC. They know it's a lie. We know it's a lie. The press refuses to name it for what it is, a lie.
After having this lie hoisted up the political flagpole, the media rolls over and goes to sleep when a group, funded by secret money, starts putting up Huey Long demagogue ads about candidate John Kasich. The ads are shameless. Who cares? Not the media. If the once great Columbus Dispatch wanted a story to actually increase subscription rates they might want to find out who is funding the sleaze group "Our Future Ohio" being fronted by Strickland/Fisher/Union hack Alan Melamed. They won't. At least not in time for voters to make an informed decision.
Joe Hallett commentary: Election notebook has some interesting tidbits
• Hypocrisy is bipartisan. On Monday, Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown held a news conference decrying "the growing problem of anonymous money fueling American elections" and touting his co-sponsorship of a bill that would require independent groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to disclose the names of donors.
The same day, Democratic lobbyist Alan Melamed, a friend and political ally of Brown, acknowledged the creation of a new independent group, Our Future Ohio, to spend $2.5 million on TV ads supporting Strickland and other Democrats. He declined to identify the donors, and the nonprofit is not required to disclose them.
This is what the Columbus Dispatch has become. A day late and a dollar short publication written by bought and paid for writers like Joe Hallet. That is a sad end for what was once called "Ohio's Greatest Hometown Newspaper." The Wolf family must regret losing control.
So, since the voter won't get any assistance on this, let's all ask, "Who is trying to buy the Ohio governor's race by funding Our Future Ohio"? I'll bet it isn't Ohio voters. Not with Strickland and Fisher involved. Their involvement screams underhanded, possibly illegal, funding. It is how they do business. They lie.
Who is paying for Our Future Ohio and making Alan Melamed and his staff and cronies rich? Even with all those millions, I betcha they can't afford to tell the truth.
Ohio is tired of being lied to and Melamed and Our Future Ohio are not telling us the truth. For that alone our vaunted State Attorney General should shut them down. Yeah, like that is going to happen. Why bite the hand that feeds you, eh?

WikiLeaks, Its Owner And Those Who Leaked Should Be Charged With Murder
Brave Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan have literally put their lives on the line for peace and more freedom. Now their lives are being snuffed out by a snot nosed little coward who runs and hides and the traitors who leak information to him and those that help publish it. How ironic is it that their big product concerned collateral death and it never occurred to them that they are doing the same. Maybe they did think about it, but were too mesmerized with themselves. They are not seekers of truth or heroes. They are human filth.
They should be tried for murder.
WikiLeaks plans 'major' announcement in Europe
They can start with Bradley Manning and that weird little twit, Julian Assange.

Didn't ever meet Howling Wolf, but Willie Dixon was a player and a nice guy.
UPDATE: I was reminded that I forgot the Allman Brothers Band.
UPDATE II: Okay, now somebody wants the Kooper/Bloomfield version which I thought weaker.
Kids, if I keep putting up vids of white guys passing these songs off as their own, I'd be doing nothing else, but dustin' my broom.

Reid Paid $750,000 Cash For His Non-Home In DC
And we pay 100s of thousands of dollars for his non-car in DC.
Harry Reid: Ritz-Carlton not home
Geez, let me get this straight. Harry's defense is that he only paid $750,000 cash for a one bedroom second non-home in Washington, DC?
If Harry wanted to really serve the people of Nevada he should have shared his investment savvy with them so they could have a little nest egg now that they're unemployed. Of course it would help if they could earn a million dollars on land they didn't own anymore. There's savvy and then there's savvy.

Hapless Harry Reid Proves The Peter Principle
But for Me, We'd Be in Worldwide Depression
"We were at the top and we've fallen very hard. So people have been hurting, and I understand that, and it doesn't give them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me we'd be in a worldwide depression. They want to know what I've done for them, and that's why it's important for me, any chance I get, to say that my number one job is to create jobs," Reid said, blasting Angle for saying it's not the role of government to create jobs.

Your Tax Dollars At Work As Govt Unions Buy Election
If you think our education system is broken, don't worry, teacher's unions will use your tax dollars to elect politicians that don't care what you think. You think government is broken, don't worry, bureaucrats, automatic elevator operators and janitors will spend huge amounts of your money to elect politicians who will, in turn, tell you to shut up, you lacky. And they'd be right. You have become a lacky to public employee unions.
Campaign's Big Spender
Public-Employees Union Now Leads All Groups in Independent Election Outlays.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is now the biggest outside spender of the 2010 elections, thanks to an 11th-hour effort to boost Democrats that has vaulted the public-sector union ahead of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO and a flock of new Republican groups in campaign spending.
The 1.6 million-member AFSCME is spending a total of $87.5 million on the elections after tapping into a $16 million emergency account to help fortify the Democrats' hold on Congress. Last week, AFSCME dug deeper, taking out a $2 million loan to fund its push. The group is spending money on television advertisements, phone calls, campaign mailings and other political efforts, helped by a Supreme Court decision that loosened restrictions on campaign spending.
"We're the big dog," said Larry Scanlon, the head of AFSCME's political operations. "But we don't like to brag."
Good Lord, they're taking out loans for politics using your tax dollars as collateral to defeat your wishes at the polls.

Who Is 'Our Future Ohio PAC' And Where Did They Get $2.5 M For Strickland In One Week?
A new group has formed and created a PAC out of thin air, "Our Future Ohio" and its PAC. According to the Columbus Dispatch the group was formed just last week and is already buying up $2.5 million in ads, $1.3 million just for central Ohio, against Republican John Kasich. The group declines to say who is funding them and their deceptive ads.
Ad war escalates in governor race
Our Future Ohio was incorporated last week and created a political-action committee to counter the "overwhelming" number of conservative Republican groups running ads, spokesman Alan Melamed said.
Our Future Ohio and its PAC have a combined $1.3 million for more than 750 spots reserved in central Ohio through the election, records show. The group plans to run ads statewide at a combined cost of more than $2.5 million, Melamed said.
He declined to identify who is funding the group and said final decisions still are being made about what campaigns will be targeted besides the governor's race.
One ad features two people speaking at a kitchen table - a format also used by the RGA - complaining that Kasich and Wall Street are more responsible for Ohio's job losses during the recession than Strickland.
Alan Melamed of Cleveland, spokesman for the elusive "Our Future Ohio", is a lawyer and president of a political communications group which seems to be at the heart of Democrat machine politics here in Ohio. Melamed's VPs and others employed by him have worked as lobbyists and for such groups as the leftist Common Cause as well as many different 'green' groups cashing in on tax payer's dollars for profit. They all have close political and financial ties to Gov Strickland and Lee Fisher.
So, where did 'Our Future Ohio' get $2.5 million dollars for ads? How much more money have they received to cover their salaries, offices and overhead? That this effort is but one example of the desperation of the Strickland campaign is apparent, but who is funding this desperation and why won't the group tell us?
UPDATE: It appears that Melamed has a troubled history with the truth.
"Convicted οf Lying?"
Aѕ іf tο underscore thе futility οf using government tο regulate truth іn politics, Thе Associated Press quoted Fisher’s campaign manager, Alan Melamed, аftеr thе commission’s ԁесіѕіοn wаѕ announced аѕ saying: "Bob Taft hаѕ found hіѕ рƖасе іn history. … Hе′s thе first candidate fοr governor tο bе convicted οf lying." Thаt itself wаѕ a fаƖѕе statement. Thе commission specifically rejected Fisher’s complaints against Taft personally, аnԁ іt hаѕ nο power tο "convict," a word thаt implies criminal violations.

I Will Gladly Go To Jail For Murder
if only the people at UPS let me have 5 minutes alone with the person responsible for their "Logistics" ad.
Since I am pretty sure I won't get my 5 minutes, a suggestion to all that know or work with this sadist. Please put the sound track on their answering machine 20 times a day. On their cell phone voice messenger. On their iPod. On their DVD player. On their CD player. Every USB device they own. Repeatedly email the ad to them. Yep, Facebook it, in fact, use all the social networks. But most importantly, hum it every time you all are in ear shot.

As they say in China, xie xie Mr. Gibbs! Actually, San Francisco, China says, xie xie Mr Space
GIBBS: I’m a free trader.
NARRATOR: 91,000 jobs. As they say in China, xie xie Mr. Gibbs!
So, I'm a bit foggy on Space's geography. His ad shows jobs going to San Francisco. Were those Ohio jobs? If Zack thinks San Francisco is in China where the Hell does he think the 18th district of Ohio is? Searchlight, Nevada.
If those were Ohio jobs that went to San Francisco it wasn't Gibbs that sent them, but Space and his buddy Ted Strickland.
After all, according to Zack Space, Maxferd Jewelry is in San Francisco, China, and is also in Nancy Pelosi's 18th District and Space is a very good friend and 93% supporter of Nancy Pelosi.
So, of the 400,000 Ohio jobs that Space and Strickland have lost, they sent 91,000 to Nancy Pelosi? How nice for the voters of the 18th District. The 18th District of Ohio which is still in Ohio. Zack might want to remember that. In the meantime, Rep Pelosi (D-8 China) say, xie xie Rep Space (D-18 NV).

The Cap And Tax Trade Crowd Support Space, Sutton And Other Liberals In Ohio
The crowd that brought us Cap and Trade now is working hard to protect their extremist friends in Congress so they can pass even more environmental taxes. They, nor their congressmen, care that it will cost people money they can't afford and they don't care that their "science" is bogus.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Action Fund says new poll data shows that voters in regions with competitive House races prefer incumbent Democrats who support legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
The group’s survey looked at 23 congressional districts where the incumbent House Democrat voted in favor of last year’s contentious cap-and-trade bill. However, the survey did not specifically reference that bill or use the term “cap and trade” in questioning.
Their Ohio friends are Steve Driehaus (Ohio-1); Mary Jo Kilroy (Ohio-15); Space (Ohio-18); Betty Sutton (Ohio-13) and John Boccieri (Ohio-16)

Also, in the No, Really catagory, the students were given sample ballots listing only Democrat candidates. Really. Sounds kinda pinkly, doesn't it.
