Halftime Thoughts

September 26th, 2005 at 9:33 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

A couple of quick thoughts as I take a break from the horrific Tennessee/LSU game, wipe away my tears, have another whiskey sour and bang out some blog ignunce for you people.

First of all, Lynndie England was convicted today. I’m so excited about her conviction that I did a Lynndie.

LYNNDIE ENGLAND, the US reservist who became the public face of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq, was convicted by a military jury in Texas yesterday for her role in the affair.

England, 22, one of a group of nine Army reservists accused of abusing prisoners at the Baghdad jail, was found guilty of six out of seven charges, including four counts of maltreating detainees and one of committing an indecent act. She was found not guilty on one conspiracy charge.

She should also have been charged with Ambiguous Gender and Hideous Dogface. If only those were crimes.

Speaking of less-than-aesthetically-pleasing-mugs, Cindy Shitcan got arrested outside of the White House today in her continuing cavalcade of “LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, STOP THE WAR! I HAVE A DEAD SON!” idiocy.

Is there any way to have her put away for a couple of years so that we can make damn sure her 15-minutes of fame are dead-and-buried before she gets out? Can’t we write a Sheehan-specific law or some such?

Enough about that idiot-bitch. Last but not least, the Commissar has stayed on top of the Sandra Beth Geisel case – reporting that her plea deal will have her out of jail by the end of the year. Which is fortuitous, because I’ll be in need of a little extra action right around then. Mmmmmm…. Sandra Beth Geisel.

Well, the second half of doom is about to start. We’ll see if LSU can put 50 points on the board by the end of the game. Perhaps the Great Pumpkin will put Clausen in for the rest of the second half – he’s the only shot we have of not being completely embarrassed on national cable television. If it gets really ugly, I’ll switch back over to the Chiefs/Broncos game – I hear Marcus Allen is having a whale of a night running the football.

Sorry for the light blogging as of late, but I’m taking a bit of a vacation with the family and chasing Preston Jr. while he wears a Darth Vader mask is far more enjoyable than riffing on the news.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVEABLE UPDATE:

Vols come back to stun LSU in OT, 30-27.

How the hell did that happen? I hope to hell this puts that “quarterback controversy” to rest. Clausen should have been the starter all year long. End of story.

    Dear Great Pumpkin,
    Please do not let Mr. Ange play football for you anymore. That is all.

    Signed,
    All Vols fans.

    I have to admit I was laughing and giggling at halftime. Thanks for helping the Gators move up in the polls.

    The LSU fans acted like they all just got punched in the stomach by a random person walking down the street.

  5. Homely Says:

    I couldn’t agree more with the Clausen comments. If Aigne plays, I give up on the vols.

  6. dsmith Says:

    I hate to break this to you, but I think Sheehan’s star is about to fade. I know, I know! I’m upset about this too! I mean, who are we going to rip on now? Not Jane Fonda again! Please, God No!

    Apparently, Ms. Sheman is all for the spotlight. Unfortunately, when she woke up on Saturday morning, pre-rally, and turned on the news, she realized it was all Rita, all day, and she got quite pissy about it.

    “rita (3.33 / 3)

    i am watching cnn and it is 100 percent rita…even though it is a little wind and a little rain…it is bad, but there are other things going on in this country today…and in the world!!!!

    At least SOME democrats aren’t insane to follow this lady off the cliff…

    Send some of that mojo our way, willya?

  8. MacStansbury Says:

    um…can you EVER bet against Tennessee after they just lost to Florida? ain’t they like…450-0 that game? come on…

    (years of bitterness seeping out)

    Please get over the UT wondergame that I watched over two 24 oz Miller’s. I switched at 21-0, switched back after watching parts of two movies and came back to see the gigantic upset! YAAAAAAA! OK, I feel better now. Please dig up more stuff on SANDA BETH GEISEL! That is one hot nymphomaniac story. It is proven true once more that “REALITY is stranger than fiction”. If only we knew all the colorful and juicy details; such as, ‘the touch of her hands on me was like static electricity,’ or ‘her breath on my chest was hot like a hair dryer.’ Where were these sizzling teachers back in the Fifties????? Well, I am fairly certain that when I saw several of my high school female teachers standing in a group I saw tails wagging.
