I bought a snowblower.
Congress is now investigating the BCS.
What’s the BCS, you might ask? It’s the points and bowls system used to determine the national champion for college football.
Why is Congress investigating this? I’ve no idea. Where do they get the authority to investigate this? I’ve no idea of that either.

Wow, it must be the 30th Amendment: Congress shall make no law abridging the right of Division 1 college football fans to have a clear national champion. I wonder if this is just a ploy to get free Rose Bowl tickets?
Everyone in Congress. Go home. Now. Don’t come back.
Looks like the CIA struck and took out a few enemies of the state.
How y’all feeling about those safe houses now?
Sorry, gotta keep up the tradition. My father and grandfather served in the United States Navy. My grandfather during World War II, my father during Vietnam.
GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!
Froggy has some clear thoughts on the future course of the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and the current political stance of the “loyal” opposition:
Contrary to the pleadings of Cindy Sheehan et al, the only way to view our combat losses in Iraq as a waste would be to cut and run before affording our soldiers the opportunity to complete the mission they have given their all for. In that vein, we now have the most lethal and battle tested military we have ever fielded which may well come in handy down the road. The synergistic effect of our unrivaled military proficiency coupled with the strategic and diplomatic effect of our victory in Iraq will serve as a powerful bargaining chip against the intransigent regimes that continue to threaten us.
I could go on, but you get the picture. Bush didn’t lie, but that is hardly a reason to withdraw even if he had. Moreover, the Democrats know this which makes their protestations all the more craven and politically motivated. The fact that a major political party and its adherents are willing to trade victory and by extension the sacrifices of our troops for political power will attest to their eternal shame. Fortunately, President Bush and our military are not about to let that happen.
