2005-11-09 posted by vic Man, did that suck It really did suck. Sure, every team wins some and loses some, but to lose that way - to completely self-destruct. VT had six turnovers. SIX!?!?!! WTF??? Oh well, 8-1(5-1) is still a really good record, and if Virginia Tech puts it back together, we can still end up in a really good bowl game. Besides, it could be worse. We could be this guy, they're 2-7(0-6) (sorry StateSkills). 2005-11-05 7 27 Helmet images courtesy of The Helmet Project. Why? So why did Virginia Tech lose? Simple, there was too much weauxfing. All that BCS talk offended the Woof-Gods, and punished us for it. So I guess now would be a good time to post this graphic from The Onion: Some good news Well, the world isn't all terrible. Yesterday ended with the goodguys scoring a few good political wins. In fact, why don't I just let Kos explain: Weird. We won. Onward to 2006! by kos Wed Nov 09, 2005 at 01:10:42 AM PDT Inelligent designers on Dover school board were swept out en masse by the city's voters. Eight sane Dems swept out eight crazy fundamentalists. In Tucson Arizona, Dems took out two Republicans and reverted the city council to Democratic control. In Washington State, a measure closely watched by anti-tax zealots to repeal Washington's fuel tax was narrowly defeated. In Maine (as noted already), an anti-gay ballot initiative actually failed. That's something you don't see every day. An anti-gay marriage amendment in Texas passed easily (even though it may hilariously invalidate every marriage). In both New Jersey and Virginia Democrats gained seats in the state legislatures. Bush actually lent some of that "political capital" to Virginia's Kilgore, for all the good (and probable harm) it did. Let's hope more and more Republicans decide to let Bush campaign for them. Heck, the Democratic Party should pay Bush's political travel expenses, since they will clearly help us more than their own guys. California is a disaster of epic proportions for Arnold. How long before rumors about Arnold's retirement crop up? (And no, I haven't heard any. Yet.) Republicans have very little to cheer about this election. They soundly defeated reform efforts in Ohio and they held on to the NYC mayorship. Retaking NYC would've been the "cherry on top" of this election, but whatever. No one ever wins them all. But I have to say, while this beats the losing we've experiened the last couple of years, this is still quite unsatisfying. Let's call it the appetizer. 2006 is the real target. We've got the momentum and a Republican Party reeling from its inability to govern. We can't let them regain their balance. We've got to keep them on the defensive, take advantage of every opening they provide to score additional points. Off-year elections are rarely harbingers of future performance. Dems actually did quite well in 2003, to little effect in 2004. Let's work to make this year an exception to that rule. So you're saying "yeah yeah yeah, but make with teh funnay." Well, why don't I let townhall.com do that. This was spotted on their front page today: Blue Tuesday Yesterday was a tough, but not unexpected day for the GOP, as Democrats retained control of the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. California voters, meantime, defeated all eight of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's ballot proposals.
