I guess you slept through the Jermaine Taylor fight huh?

Have a good flight!

I knew Pavlik would be tough, but I never thought he'd KO Jermain. Can't win 'em all, not forever, anyway.

I think Jermain and Emanuel knew the fight would end in this manner. Pavlik deserves to be the champ; not only is he physically tough, he has a certain humility that is refreshing. Pavlik was hungry and he would not accept defeat, which led to his victory. As I mentioned earlier, I don't think Jermain wants a rematch, even with the rematch embedded in his contract. Hopkins and Wright should feel vindicated because, like many, each man though he beat Jermain.

Did the plane fly around Razorback Stadium with the banner that said "Fire Nutt"? I haven't heard if it flew or not. And boy, did Jermaine get pounded in that last round. Did you see Janet in the 2nd row? She was a lot more vocal without Mikey sitting by her.

How about old Blackwater? Killing those innocent mothers of 8 while fearlessly riding a bus.. Man I think we are just a fantastic country for spending about 1.4 billion of our dollars a day so our boys can do Gods/Cheney/Bushies work for us.

But violent sports are so much more important. /s

Don't the Razorbacks play North Pulaski Tech next?

"Don't the Razorbacks play North Pulaski Tech next?"

No, next up is St. Theresa's Home for Wayward Girls. Hogs are favored, but I'm going to take St. Theresa's and the points.

Will Huckabee rise to the Challenge??

Christian Conservatives Consider Third-Party Effort

By David D. Kirkpatrick

Alarmed at the chance that the Republican party might pick Rudolph Giuliani as its presidential nominee despite his support for abortion rights, a coalition of influential Christian conservatives is threatening to back a third-party candidate in an attempt to stop him.

The group making the threat, which came together Saturday in Salt Lake City during a break-away gathering during a meeting of the secretive Council for National Policy, includes Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, who is perhaps the most influential of the group, as well as Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the direct mail pioneer Richard Viguerie and dozens of other politically-oriented conservative Christians, participants said. Almost everyone present expressed support for a written resolution that "if the Republican Party nominates a pro-abortion candidate we will consider running a third party candidate."

Where in the world is DYER, AR????
Our grandson got himself a BIG BUCK, in my van, driving home last night from
UA and my van is in a garage there.
G'son is ok, thank God, can't say the same for Bambi.

jazzy,
Dyer is about 10 minutes to the east of Alma on Hyw 64. Glad the grandson is okay.

Dyer is about halfway between Mulberry and Alma on Hwy 64, which runs parallel to I-40.

Where is Alma???? haha guess I'd better use the old google finger.
Thanx MAPG.....yes, he is ok except very upset for crashing Nana's like new, paid for van.

While I wait for my rosemary pork loin to cook, I have a little time for some typing. Needless to say, the Hogs victory over a girl's school leaves little room for crowing. The Hogs schedule is as cheesy as most things in BushWorld. Our glorious victory in Iraq during the Surge is on par with the last Razorback victory. Our troops can indeed kill un-underarmed people who get in the way. BlackwaterUSA can sure as shooting wipe out innocent people. Are those wins for our side? I think not.

The bad guys continue to win. Cheney has yet to feel the sting of the lash. No doubt he has all kinds of evil planned for this coming week. The Democrats are talking a good game, but like North Texas, they're powerless to stop the Cheney Team. Most of the American consumers aren't paying attention, the rest of us can't seem to do jack. Members of our own team are playing for the other side....aye Mark Pryor? Blanche is paying more attention, but not enough.....more Blanche, more! John Boozman continues to see nothing but success in Iraq and thinks Cheney and Bush are every bit the spitting image of God and Jesus. So as you can see Arkansas is of no help to the light side.

Oh for the days of J. William Fulbright! I'm so sorry we can't hear 15 minutes worth of what Bill Fulbright would be saying about Bush and Cheney and their fake war for oil if he was alive today. I really can't understand why we don't hear more from Dale Bumpers or David Pryor or Bill Clinton....can ya think of a time when America needed the advice of our elders more than right now?

Old Jerry Ford said Bush was a creepy little twirp, but made Woodward sit on it until he died. Alan Greenspan finally admitted that this war is all about oil and the Bush folks don't know jack about money. Thanks Alan......but why didn't you do something WHILE you were a part of the administration? Ditto for Colin Powell and about 12 others who got out and then pronounced Cheney-Bush insainiacs.

So this week NOTHING good will happen....another week of nothing good. We, those of us paying attention, will be outraged, pissed, hopeful, dashed, and end the week like we ended last week....fairly hopeless again. But good luck to us all and despite our ignorance and laziness....may it all turn out well in the end.

Think I know every pig trail south of Hot Springs but not much north of here, need to
inform myself about my state. My G'son did mention Mulberry.
Thanx guys

Teriyaki shrimp, w/potatoes in olive oil w/ onions & herbes de provence all on the grill. Smiles all round. Except Jermaine.

jazzy: Dyer is about 15 miles east of Fort Smith, or about 130 miles northwest of Little Rock (about 60 miles west of AR-7 at Russellville) on I-40. Just a tip: if you are not sure where something is, just type in the city (if you can call Dyer a city) name to Google. It should provide you a link to the Google Map view of the location.

Bubba, the plane pullling the banner was flying south out of Missouri and the banner tore in half. They plan to try again next week and other weeks following.

we won't hear from david pryor with junior making the mistakes for the family. i wish bumpers would open his mouth occasionally but nobody would listen since he has no power. barry goldwater tried to talk after retirement but he got much more liberal and nobody listened.

bill still is listened to because his charity work makes him a player worldwide. he may be one of the most powerful people worldwide with what he is doing. he had positioned himself with some wonderful programs that actually help people. bushes comment about you wouldn't find him hanging around the lobby of the un after his presidency just shows what different kind of people they are. my niece was in malawi when he and the president of malawi came to the village she was working in as a student of the clinton school and that man is making differences with small people worldwide. we can be proud of him.

I am advised by chasv that the scissors of Satan had a great deal to do with the splitting of the Fire Nutt banner. But seriously, what a waste of money and what a distraction to recruiting this silliness is when it's obvious that, despite what he must say to contrary right now, Nutt will take a job elsewhere next year.

Dyer was the former kingdom of Tony Alamo before it all went South. His dead wife Susan was a Dyer native. Tony is alive and well and in the shadows behind you everywhere you go.

I am not trying to get anyone to join my bandwagon, but the Bush years have made me lose all interest in silly things like sports. Go Razorbacks is like yellow magnetic Support Our Troops stickers.....invisible to me...a long forgotten child's nursery rhyme.

The horrors being done under our flag in the name of America makes it impossible for me to sit back and think about a game with a ball. Seeing our government so tied up....to the point of being useless makes me worry too much to jump on or off the Nutt train. When I see young guys I think of them blown apart in the sands of Iraq. I think of how, thanks to Mark Pryor, if he's captured....what kind of torture will be used on him. When the draft comes, who will play football at Arkansas? Old men and cripples?

If we don't start paying attention and turning mean, being loud, acting dangerous......the bad guys and their weakling dupes are going to eat us up. Should there come a day when life returns to normal, I hope I learn to enjoy the simple pleasures of an afternoon in the creepily named Reynold's stadium again. Until then.....I'm doomed to be a whole lot more serious than I want to be cause our fat's in the fire and the fire keeps getting hotter. Happy Monday!

Sunday...what a day. Sent the kids to church, visited with the neighbors, and enjoyed the last fifteen minutes of the NY vs. Philly game. I decided to switch gears and write a politically oriented football allegory for today's blog post. Click my name.

DeathByInches: You rock, bro. Great comment...

DBI always rocks!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the info about Dyer, I did do a google but got more useful info from ya'll.
Hubby gone to insurance office now to hear all the bad news, I needed this like I need
a root canal as I've been fighting the crud/virus for three weeks.
And may the gods smile on you this monday......

There are no doubt some grumbling fans in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and West Virginia after this weekend's bloodbath (gawd I love college football!) Nutt don't look quite as bad by comparison. Maybe some of those folks have been taking notes and have filed FOI requests and checked on aircraft rental rates.
