Just hear those sleigh bells jingling…

2011 was a year of very expensive weather.

If you want to complain about your tax rate, you should first know what your tax rate is.

Car thongs. I’m pretty sure that’s a joke, but in a world with Truck Nutz, who can say for certain?

Many things are unforeseeable, but the financial crisis was not one of them.

More people should listen to The Slacktivist. Certainly, the “evangelicals” that Rick Perry is wooing should listen to him.

Yeah, this is the weirdest story I’ve read in a long time.

Here was one vote against RGIII for the Heisman.

“[Republicans] are acting as if the established rules for “how a Bill becomes a Law” do not apply if they do not “want” them to.”

    “Here was one vote against RGIII for the Heisman.”

    Apparently the writer’s argument is that any Heisman winner not from the Southeast Conference must have been selected for some reason other than performance, and can be expected to be a bust in the NFL. This sounds like a testable hypothesis. Anyone up for an analysis? Apparently, he would have expressed the same sentiments had Andrew Luck been chosen. What do those NFL scouts know anyway?

    No one disputes the overall superiority of the SEC in recent years (though Alabama vs Texas might have produced a different national champion had Colt McCoy not gone down early in the game), but this award is about individual contributions; and what Griffin as one player did to improve the on-the-field performance of Baylor, a team that has not been big-time in half a century or more, is astounding. Alabama is a team built on a superb recruiting factory, and every year plugs in somebody at running back, who given the support of an outstanding OL, an outstanding backfield and outstanding defenses and special teams, will perform at a high level; and if he weren’t there, it is doubtful that ‘Bama would even notice the difference.
