Never Underestimate Certain Organs in a Champion

The Spurs held off a late surge from the Hornets to win game 7 on the road, 91 – 82.
Manu Ginobili, bald and unorthodox, once again coldly euthanizes another opponent, scoring 26 and [...]

Brisket Pictorial

The art of honing the toughest and most rugged cut of beef from the bovine into a juicy, tender and angelic delicacy is a quasi religion every bit as worthy as the sun, the moon, the multiple arms of Vishnu or the open field tackle. It can be as easy as you want it [...]

Delegates to Provide Happy Ending

Vigorously massage them with all your might.
On the Republican side of the aisle, Governor Mike Huckabee lashed back over the weekend by capitalizing on the ineradicable discontent amongst conservative voters by easily winning in Kansas and Louisiana.

Hostages Taken at Clinton Headquarters

Rochester, N.H. — An embarrasingly lightweight drunk, Leeland Eisenburg, 47, entered the Rochester headquarters of the Hillary Clinton campaign with road flares, a Cornish game hen, a package of hot dogs and AA batteries strapped to his chest. The Somersworth, N.H. resident insisted that the desultory assortment fastened to his torso was a bomb [...]

The Pick of the Week, Maybe the Year

It’s one of those really obscure games that most people don’t even know will take place.
Nebraska vs USC-10
The Trojans will be equal in points to the number of scabs on Courtney Love’s shins.

You’d think an Attorney General’s suspicious retirement so close in [...]

Shallow Observations on a Shallow Pool of Presidential Candidates

Here we are. My goodness how four years can fly by when we’re watching our country’s bravest have their limbs blown off in the effort of providing a democracy to a bunch primitive fuckers who don’t want it, much less deserve it. It’s time for the Republicans to race each other to see [...]
