Bush Picks Up Two Key Endorsements: Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long

When JB read the stat that said whenever the Redskins lose before the election, the incumbent loses, Bradshaw began saying "Say it ain't so" while Long said "Ain't gonna happen."

Blaster Says Don't Worry About the Redskins Losing: "With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void."

That sounds pretty good to me.

I think the Football Gods will exact their retribution for "Lambert Field"

They are toying with him...

Schilling, Bradshaw, Long, most of NASCAR...

Why is it the jocks are for Bush? I'm starting to believe that "Team America" speech.

With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void.

Everything changed after 9/11.

There was also a Monday Night Football game, very early in the season, in Foxboro, that had an exchange like this:

Madden (commenting on a play): That's what you call a flip-flop.
Michaels: You're in the right state for that.

Jocks are for Bush because they know there is no easy way to win but through concerted effort ... marrying a rich woman doesn't get you much on the field ... Bush is in the fight and willing to takes risks that Kerry and many liberals are not willing to take.

Blaster is right. There is no way under normal circumstances a guy as fiercly competitive as the Babe would allow his curse to fall to #2 to the cubbies!Something else is going on, so all sports predictors are out the window.

"Stay on Target!"

AC/DC also wrote "Giving the Dog a Bone." This might not be the most ineffective song, but it is surely one of the most tasteless. Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" with its thrusting guitar riff is quite tasteless, too. These might work with the "right" woman, though.


There is no "right" woman for Lee Greenwood's song, however.

I must've missed that bit today, but that's great news. Then again, it *is* Fox.

It's nearly enough to make me forgive Howie for "Firestorm" and those insufferable Radio Shack commercials.

Terry's a god among men, however.

Cheers,
Dave

Also the Patriots winning streak was finally brought to an end today, signaling that this is indeed the year in which past trends/streaks do not matter.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

Update: No, it's not. Zee/Zem says they's name is like "Rob Hopkins" or something.
