Like this one, ‘fer instance. There’s so much WTF in those five points he sets forth there, it makes my jaw hurt. And that he’s got a plurality of poll voters standing with him makes it even better.

I had to read number 3 twice. CPF set high standards of character? And, number 4, he would comfortable in a “subordinate” position? That post is a great example of post-modernist revisionist history.

Wow, JUST WOW!! This is far past delusional to non-nonsensical:
3. The off-field direction of the program is in line with what CPF always claimed to be his goal. On-field success be damned, I think we can all agree that Dooley is managing the character of his players in a direction consistent with high values and building successful young men. This is something Fulmer historically prided himself on and could get behind.

I never heard Phil Fulmer profess that he wanted this players curb-stomping off duty police officers in bars while remaining on the team or becoming locker room cancers without fear of reprisal, but it really wouldn’t surprise me. Brandon Bray and Da’Rick Rogers are shining examples of what successful Tennessee men should be, there’s no doubt.

Regardless of your ideology, all decent intelligent people can agree that there are some sanctimonious idiots loitering in the comment sections of websites. Who deserves that characterization and who doesn’t is often open to debate. But, sometimes, there’s no reason to debate the issue at all.
Over at The Atlantic there’s a piece on the problems with the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial. The subject’s been much discussed, of course. But one reader thinks its biggest failing hasn’t been discussed enough. Here’s the first comment on the piece from a user named “nicholas1987″:
Or maybe because it’s at a mall? You seem to gloss right over that. The memorial is a disgusting corporate perversion of MLK’s legacy and twisting it into a ploy to draw people to a mall.
This drew a response from another commenter (Zinger1905) who showed remarkable restraint when he told Nicholas1987:
The National Mall is not a shopping mall, it’s a wide-open green space.

Reminds me of the story a buddy of mine tells for true.
He was on Sen. Sam Nunn’s (should I make that SSN in accordance with interwebs protocol?) staff when we invaded Panama City, Panama, to get Noriega. He swears that he got a call from a constituent asking if it was safe to go to Panama City Beach for the weekend.

I can top that. When the Mars Rover landed on, uh, Mars back in 1997, the esteemed Sheila Jackson Lee from Houston was at the Jet Propulsion Lab trying to pick up some NASA votes. She reportedly asked the engineers guiding the rover if they could see the spot where Neil Armstrong landed. Not sure who told her that would be the moon.

Gee! Soros better watch out. If one of the Usual Suspects steals the election, and that’s always a probability with all voter-suppression laws recently enacted by the Republican state legislatures, top priority for The Department of Fatherland Security will be to capture, rendition and waterboard him until he becomes a Patriot. The he can be just like his torturers. But he may be hard to catch. He already outwitted the Nazis once.

Hiring Fulmer back onto the staff would be like Auburn bringing Tuberville back as D-coordinator to replace Ted Roof. The question wouldn’t be if there’d be a gigantic mutiny/meltdown, but when.

After the Sun Bowl in the early 80s, I was in an upbeat El Paso sports bar/ restaurant with my children. A good looking, but brain dead chick decided to play Ms Mom and join us. Couldn’t persuade her to bug off even when I told her we were headed straight to Chihuahua and on to Canyon de Cobre. We were rescued by Johnny Majors asking to and joining us (thought it was because our UGA insignia was the only evidence of SEC in the place). We did a couple of perfunctory “Remember When”s before he graciously began hitting on the chick who had no idea who he was. I slid out with the kids almost unnoticed. It was the biggest dump of my life since I was constipated for 4 days. And I have Majors and his shining character to thank. As far as he knew, we were together and he was snaking her away.

“An excellent recruiter…who couldn’t evaluate talent.”
Hey, just in this moment I have reversed field faster than Barry Sanders. I was all set to go with something viciously snarky, but this could really be true and a problem. You may have guys who are excellent closers in the living room with Mama, but they’re just in the wrong living rooms with the wrong Mamas. I suppose it’s possible to be able to sell ice to eskimos but not know a damn thing about ice.
Maybe some stat and film-geek who can pick out the right guys wedded to a great closer is the way to go in recruiting.
