Say, how about another BpB photo derby?

I’m like, totally psyched about our impending Thanksgiving Day feast and will probably document some of it with the digicam.

For many (most?) Texans “Rivalry Weekend” hasn’t even happened, yet. Friday the dismally bad Texas A&M Aggies (2-5 / 4-7) will play the easily dispirited University of Texas Longhorns(6-1 / 9-2), and it’s not as cut and dried as the numbers show. Even ignoring how easily the Texas game plan was disrupted during the loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks (and you just can’t count the loss to Oklahoma — there are several pro teams who couldn’t handle them), this game can be easily thrown by non-Athletic events.

It makes me so proud to know that my tax dollars are going to support something on the order of South Park Mall.

The Republicans are taking their bows for passing their new Medicare Bill and the WPost is saying this is a big sign that the Democrats need to consolidate their “message”. I think it’s a pretty good sign of a couple things for the Republicans, too.
