By now, and we’re only on number two, I’m sure people are sick of videos of my daughter.  On the other hand, enjoy them anyway.

Say what you will about Moore, he’s a great interview.  My personal favorite line comes right at the end.  He also brings up a good point: how right was Fahrenheit 9-11.  I wonder?  Maybe I’ll do a little analysis.

This is just funny.

UPDATE:  Some of you may have seen it, some of you didn’t, but the title of this post was a derogatory term for black people.  I saw it a second a go and couldn’t take it; so I changed it.

There, I said it. Is it okay? No, it’s not. And, yet, people seem to think it’s okay to use derogatory terms to describe homosexuals. I don’t understand people like Anne Coulter (or the audience from the American Conservatives Union) who think it is.

I’ve never seen anything like this.

This is Miss Margaret Elise Frampton.

This is the scene outside Littlejohn Stadium in Clemson trying to get tickets to the North Carolina game this Wednesday. Pretty cool. Hopefully, the team will come through. (And, for what it’s worth, I’ve got a lot of faith.)

See if this gives you some sense.

And so, evidently, is Ellen.

I’m not sure what the hell Jesus is talking about, but this is a simple one for me.

The President today announced that he and the administration were reviewing new options for solving the quagmire (yeah, I said it) that is Iraq. Here’s the money quote so far:

I know many Americans are not satisfied with the situation in Iraq. I’m not satisfied either. And that is why we’re taking new steps to help secure Baghdad and constantly adjusting our tactics across the country to meet the changing threat.

One thing that has driven me crazy throughout this entire ordeal has been the lack of new ideas and new tactics from the administration (and, equally, its critics). To paraphrase President Musharraf of Pakistan when he appeared on the Daily Show, we can point fingers after the crisis is over, for now we’ve just got to solve it.

At first blush, I’d add, placing a strong Iraq government at the center of any strategy seems wise to me. Clearly, no one over there like us too much, and ending their reliance on our military seems a worthy goal. Even a weak Iraqi government would be better at negotiating peace than a strong U.S. military. Easier said than done, but a good goal nonetheless.

UPDATE:  Turns out the Iraqi government doesn’t agree with me, too much.

GooTube Harold Ford, and you’ll get some other dandies.  GooTubing  Bob Corker’s got some pretty good ones, too.

And, before you go giving me a big whopping “boring,” read this quote from collegefootballnews.com:

Throughout this year, we’ve heard over and over again about how strong the SEC is and that a one loss team from that conference is better than an undefeated team in, say, the Big East. One other thing that we’ve heard all season long is how poor the ACC is this season. Well, before you go denigrating the ACC one more time this season, take a long, hard look at Clemson. The Tigers put on a show against Georgia Tech and with the running game that they have, they’re not going to be taken down easily. There aren’t many BCS teams who could handle Clemson right now. Think Auburn is the best one loss team in the country? Wonder if they could handle James Davis and CJ Spiller right now – they didn’t stop Arkansas. Texas? If they couldn’t stop Nebraska RB Brandon Jackson, how are they going to stop Lightning and Thunder? Florida? Is Florida’s defense stout enough in the middle to stop the Tigers or could Chris Leak and Tim Tebow handle defensive end Gaines Adams and a fast, physical defense? Notre Dame? Please. It’s fun to project how these teams will fare against one another, but conference strength opinions often cloud our judgment as to what teams ‘deserve’ to be in position to play in a BCS game. Unfortunately, the reputation of the ACC is that it’s having a down year, just like last year was for the Big East. And, tell me what happened when the Big East champ took the field against the big, bad SEC in the Sugar Bowl last year? I’m just saying, be careful not to let conference pride cloud the reality of the situation – the reality is that Clemson is for real this year, just as West Virginia was last year.
