But, I also have to remember that it is the birthday of the University of Alabama’s beloved Paul W. ‘Bear’ Bryant.

So, for both reasons, let us all bow our heads and have a moment of silence.

Just in case you were angered, I am not by ANY MEANS trying to disrespect those who died on 9/11. So, please, don’t even start.

It makes me proud to know that I helped put him in this leadership role.

Recently, he has urged Maryland lawmakers to repeal the death penalty.

Kudos to O’Malley and his stance. He’s doing some great things so far, and I’m excited to see what he’ll continue to do.

I also love Darrell Hammond’s version of Matthews…

As I said, I think Matthews is great, and I think he’s a great political pundit. However, there are times when I believe he isn’t as correct as he thinks he is… Take for example his recent quotation on Hardball:

“My morale goes down when our mind is so warped about this stuff about Britney Spears that people think that Bill Clinton was a better than FDR” –Chris Matthews (“Hardball”).

You see, there is a chance that Bill Clinton could manage to be as great as FDR. Take into account different situations and incredibly drastic changes to the country and among generations, and it could be feasible.

Come on Chris, think of it as a history major would…

At least we’re not the last ones to hire a coach… thank goodness.

This doesn’t mean that I like Mal Moore, though.

Update (12/8/06, 7:13): Or, maybe WVU will offer Rodriguez a counter-offer… Bama stays coachless.
