Must have been a satisfying feeling for the Tide, especially since the defense skunked LSU's vaunted "high-powered" offense. The Tide's defense produced the first shutout in BCS bowl history! And yet, it was predictable!
Too much pre-game hype was laid on the LSU players and as the clock mogaffblog9http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897612639237157641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146483.post-31803185941753503902011-10-25T03:17:00.000-05:002011-10-25T03:17:47.984-05:00Procrastination is plaguing me these days.

We've arrived on the doorstep of the Yuletide season 2010 and time spins ever faster each year.
I hope that you're with someone you love and who loves you. Or at least with a community of people of who care about you. Christmastime can be so depressing if you have to spend it alone. I know.

Yea, we had a view of the lunar eclipse up here in the Panhandle, though clouds were lurking widely across the skies. I don't get too excited by lunar eclipses since all that happens is the night gets a bit darker. I suppose when the moon reappears it is spectacular, but I'm inside and can't see it now so,mogaffblog9http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897612639237157641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146483.post-941048142003-05-10T09:34:00.000-05:002003-05-10T09:37:52.000-05:00"We are responsible ..." We've got to deal with the problems of Iraq now that we've conquered it, according to retired Air Force Col. Sam Gardner. And he's right, of course, but what a strange arrangement. What vision compelled us to assume the care and nurture of a nation so foreign to our own? Do we truly believe that we have the vision to embrace a whole culture and direct its destiny?

I'm going to rush to work here in a few minutes but I thought, "Jeez, I have to post something on my BLOG before I go." And so I go.
It's a muggy, hot Saturday in the great expanse of West Texas, also known as the Rain-Dust Region. And I mean it literally rains mud here on certain days. Odd, really.
But that aside, it's time to run.

Sleeping deeply is so nice. An experience that I frequently forego but one I find delicious when I'm able to fall into that abyss of dreams and subconscious swimming.
But at 5 a.m. I was rudely awakened by D, frantically hissing, "Get out of the room! Now! I need some privacy."
Bleary-eyed and somewhat groggy I complied.

Yea, that's right. Not a thing. For most of us (I think) Friday is that all-important last day of the workweek. The day when our minds wander to thoughts of sex, inebriation, driving fast pickup trucks or Corvettes or whatever, being 'cool' and making the 'grade.'
Or am I being too trite? Well, fuggit.

You know, my thoughts are sparking off at 90 million per millisecond and I can't focus because the tumult is too erratic and violent.

Like millions of people around the world, I just watched a statue of Saddam Hussein pulled down by Iraqis and U.S. engineers using a huge mobile crane vehicle. The glee and pandemonium that followed was heartening and sad at the same time. Heartening because the people seem genuinely joyful that their repression under Saddam seems at an end.

Is there a plan for post-war Iraq?

It's frustrating to hear that soldiers are getting killed because we've got a policy of winning hearts and minds instead of a policy of winning a war. Whatever the generals' plans are I hope they include saving some of our troops for the attack on Baghdad.

I cannot believe that our soldiers weren't told to stay away from Iraqis driving taxis or any other vehicles for that matter. The fact that a cab driver was able to lure U.S. soldiers to their deaths by motioning for them to help him is absurd.

Well, probably by this time tomorrow we'll be fighting in Iraq, possibly in Baghdad given the reports stating that Saddam was planning to make his stand in the streets of the city rather than in the vast open desert.

Sean Hannity is such a narrow-minded parrot of the left-wing conservative viewpoint that I doubt he's had an original thought since he graduated grammar school.
Today I listened to his radio program and I noticed something interesting. He uses buzz words and cliche' phrases so often it's become transparently 'canned.'
