President Bush says he hasn't seen Brokeback Mountain-- and in more stunning news, neither have Fred Phelps or Jerry Falwell, (although Ralph Reed is said to be a fan)
The Senate Judiciary Committee sent Alito's nomination to the full Senate on strict party-line vote-- not that that means anything....

Student wearing Broncos jersey in Pennsylvania feels teacher humiliated him-- while I have been known to smile beneficently and bestow candy upon students wearing OU Sooner or TU Golden Hurricane regalia, this is too much! (And the class was an ethnicity class, designed to promote TOLERANCE!)

Not to mention that the kid in the Broncos jersey claimed that Elway was his favorite player, but he certainly couldnta seen Elway play since he was 15

Or that the kid needs to get a friggin life....

Do you know how many great quarterbacks have come out of that part of Pennsylvania? Montana. Marino. Namath. And the people around there will never forgive them for not playing for the "Stillers."
