The Case For Benching Kyle Singler

THIS article is from The Chronicle via Bleacher Report.  I am not sure if I agree, but it is an interesting theory.

"Pegged as a preseason All-American, the junior forward has seen his numbers drop across the board, including field goal percentage (41.0 percent), 3-point percentage (34.7 percent), points (15.4 per game) and rebounds (6.9 per game). It may be due to his move to the perimeter, the increased expectations coming into the season or the pressure of a possible NBA career next year. Or none of those. Honestly, I have no idea. But I think it’s time to consider the once-unthinkable.It’s time to bench Kyle Singler."

I'm not here to talk about the past...

That Is Pure Desperation.

Mega Link Post

Lifehacker had a bunch of "Best Of 2009" posts today, and I found myself pouring through a bunch of the articles.  I am going to link to them, because I will most likely want to reference them at some later point.  There is some cool stuff.  Also, I am a nerd.  Lifehacker is a fantastic site, and not just for the geek minded.  It is one of my favorite sites.  Lifehacker, their sister site Gizmodo and (formerly sister site) The Consumerist take up a lot of my internet browsing time.

So Much Beck Lately...

This Is Nuts

I don't pretend to be an expert on policy, politics, or government, but this video has me in a rage right now.  I can't believe that people can act like this, particularly people who are elected to office. No matter what side of this issue you are on, this type of behavior is juvenile and embarrassing.  Wow.

"This morning, the House began consideration of the rule for debate of the House health care bill. As the Democratic Women’s Caucus took to the microphone on the House floor to offer their arguments for how the bill would benefit women, House Republicans — led by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) — repeatedly talked over, screamed, and shouted objections. “I object, I object, I object, I object, I object,” Price interjected as Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) tried to hold the floor.
In an effort to delay and derail the proceedings, the Republicans continually talked over the Democratic women for half an hour. They sought to prevent the debate by calling for unnecessary “parliamentary inquiries” and requests for “expanding the debate” by an hour."

 

Jon Stewart Is A Funny, Funny Man.

Also, I hate Glen Beck.  This is by far the funniest imitation of him that I have seen so far.  Props to you, Mr. Stewart.  I am officially a 11/3-er.
So much media hate for Glenn lately.  The Onion, and now The Daily Show.  Please keep it coming.

"A new study out of the Swedish Institute for Social Research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has found a correlation between the mortality rates of men and the education level of the women they marry. Specifically, men married to women that are well-educated live longer."

BOO!!!

"'Uncensored' Bush-Clinton Debate Canceled Due To Overly Aggressive Promotion"

A debate between former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush was canceled, according to the New York Post, after the event's promoter advertised it as "uncensored, unedited and unpredictable."
"This event ... was supposed to be a discussion between the two former presidents, and has been canceled because it was not being billed as such by an overeager promoter," said Matt McKenna, a spokesman for Clinton.
It was never supposed to be a "debate," McKenna said, which is how the promoter described it. The event was to be held at Radio City Music Hall in February -- with tickets going for as much as $1,250 a pop.

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush Will Debate At Radio City Music Hall

Tickets are $60.  It would be funnier to see Will Ferrel and Darryl Hammond debate in character.  I don't see this going well for W.
