A bad day for recruits, UVA
maryanne:
Matt just told me there was a wide receiver recruit checking out UVA today and he’s now on the field celebrating with OUR players.
I mean… after awhile, it seemed like Rocco wanted to start playing for the Hokies when he threw that interception.
So pretty much a normal day then.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
C.J.: Sorry to ask you this, sir, but...
Bartlet: Not too late to stop yourself.
C.J.: I need you to pardon a turkey.
Bartlet: I already pardoned a turkey.
C.J.: I need you to pardon another one.
Bartlet: Didn't I do it right?
C.J.: You did it great, but I need you to come out here and pardon another one.
Bartlet: Aren't I going to get a reputation for being soft on turkeys?
C.J.: Sir, can you come out here and just get this over with?
Bartlet: No, I'm not gonna just get this... What the hell's going on?
C.J.: They sent me two turkeys. The more photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.
Bartlet: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.

Anyone complaining that stores will be open on...
They should not watch TV, or use the phone, or listen to the radio, or read a newspaper. See, I used to work in TV, radio and newspapers and have worked more Thanksgivings and Christmases than I care to remember. In today’s society, some jobs and careers require working on holidays.

Agreed
world-shaker:
Congress has now devolved into something so inept, so corrupt, so ineffective, so worthless, that I really feel we have no choice but to make it a national movement to enforce a two-term limit on any member of Congress. Any longer and they become too established and financed by monied, lobbyist interests. Two term limits, PERIOD. I don’t see any other way to fix this...
“Congress’ approval rating has fallen to an abysmal 9% — to put this in...”
– Can we lock Congress out?
Heh heh!

Workouts away from the gym
Walked three miles this morning with five dogs (not all at the same time) and then ran a 5K in the country at a 9:40 pace. That’s about two minutes more per mile than my last outing, but it’s hilly out here, plus, it’d been awhile since I’ve done pavement running.
But, I didn’t stop and I felt great afterward. I will probably go again tomorrow morning. It’s...

Just another reason why congress is a joke
<rant>
You know that Congressional Super Committee that was supposed to come up with $1.2 trillion in federal spending cuts by next week or have automatic cuts kick in? Yeah, it’s all a bunch of BS. Why? See below…
Since Congress made the law governing the sequester, it can also amend or repeal it, as some lawmakers are suggesting.
Soooooo basically, if Congress - which has...

Why? Because they’re serving industries that bribed them with money instead of the children of the people who actually live in their districts and states.

sportsinstilettos:
I came across this article over the weekend, about former Centre County top prosecutor Ray Gricar who, for unknown reasons, decided not to press charges against Jerry Sandusky back in 1999, after the first allegations were made.
Gricar, who was not known as a Penn State guy or a political guy,…
Whoa. Why are we just now hearing about this? This changes everything...
