Happy Thanksgiving, WebReaders!

Just wanted to post a 'shout out' to everyone and wish them the very best for Thanksgiving. I know that I have many, many things to be thankful for, and I hope you all stop and think about everything to be thankful for over this holiday.

Stay Safe and don't eat too much! -- well not enough to pop, that is.

Here is what I am most thankful for:

Thoughts on a Tuesday Morning...

As you all may know, the Gamecocks beat Florida this past Saturday for the first time since 1939. I am slightly happy (understatement). I never thought this day would come - we have beaten Tennessee and Florida in the same year, and darn near beat Georgia to boot. Maybe next year. Either way, we are assured of getting a decent bowl game this year and an even better one when we beat the hated Clumpson Tiggers this Saturday. BOOO TIGGERS!

I saw a banner someone hung on an overpass over Georgia 400 on the way into work this morning, it said 'Who would Jesus torture?'. I don't know exactly what this means, but I suppose the person that hung it up there was referring to the treatment of Islamic Terrorist murderers by the U.S. Government in the current War on Terror. The sign makes a good point, and basically encapsulates this war raging, Jesus wouldn't torture anyone, and we all know from Christian teachings that we should love thy neighbor and be kind and all that.

I guess the real question to be asked would be 'Who would Muhammad torture?' and then we would have our answer. How about a banner reading 'Who would Muhammad Suicide Bomb?', or 'Who would Muhammad behead?', these would more accurately portray the state of current world events.

Needless to say I don't really know if the author of that banner was for or against our treatment of Islamic Radical Terrorists (murderers)or not (actually I do), but I can guess that the author is against anything the U.S. does to protect themselves, and is blind to the duality inherent in the statement that they hung over a captive audience of commuters on their way to work.

Good job. Definitely makes me realize how right we are in this war.

Oh and I bet the banner smells like patchoulli.

Geography Trivia Question O' the day IV

Keeping with my Quixotic quest to improve the world's knowledge of where stuff is, my valiant Blog readers, I give you another Geography trivia question.

Hmmm - this time a U.S. States Question...

Which U.S. State is known as the 'Natural State'?

Extra Credit...What is the name of the highest elevation in this state?

Geography Trivia Question O' the day Answer

The Capital of Mali in Western Africa is Bamako.

Thanks to a couple of intrepid folks (Deeziner and Curleygirl) for at least giving it a shot. The rest of you are looooosers. You're probably afraid I would mock your incorrect answers. Well you're right.

Oh and just a note: I'm pretty glad that Columbia isn't the capital of Mali.

I'll have another question for Y'all tomorrow.

Until then enjoy the latest FarkThread regarding the riots in France and an amusing blog reference to some futurologist's study of the roots of the problem in France.

What the hell is 'futurology' anyways? And why couldn't I major in it in school?

unBOWLievable!

That's right, the Gamecocks managed to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks 14-10 on Saturday making the Cocks 6-3 and bowl eligible. I can't believe after that horrendous showing versus Auburn that I would be saying this today, but it's true. I didn't even think we'd win another game, just ask my bro.

Now if we can pull off a win against Florida and/or Clumpson, we may possibly go to the Peach Bowl. That's what I'm hoping for so we can go see them play right here in Atlanta!

The thing is, we aren't that good, and we're going to a bowl game in Spurrier's first year. I can't wait until he recruits some more talent, we could be unstoppable!

Spur 'em Spurrier!!!!

Geography Trivia Question O' the day III

Man have I forgotten to get back to basics! yall need some learnin' in the ways of Geography. Here's your handy-dandy Geography trivia question of the day:

What is the Capital of Mali?

Spelling counts... :)

Follow up to the Democrats Temper Tantrum yesterday..

Yesterday the Democrat leadership invoked Floor Rule #21 which effectively closed the Senate floor to the public and they brought up the issue of pre-war intelligence and WMDs AGAIN.

I just wanted to give you all a link to show you what a group of hypocritical liars the current Democratic leadership in this country is composed of. As if this issue wasn't settled once and for all, it seems the Democrats suffer from chronic memory loss:

enjoy.

At least I know the Fat Drunk from Taxachussetts has an excuse.
