>of religious showboating?
One would hope. The problem is, I think, that republicans can't win without the religious wackos, so they need to pander to that base at least to some degree.

The SEC has decided no thanks to Texas A&M for inclusion to the conference. I think the main reason is, they would need to find another team to join also, and they are not interested in stealing teams from other leagues. A&M did approach the SEC though. They're sick and tired of the Longhorn's arrogant bullshit..
From what I've been reading, the SEC hasn't denied TAMU, just held off an offer for now. That is because the SEC is waiting for TAMU to formally exit the Big 12 and make a formal request, so the SEC won't get mired into a possible legal battle with the heads of the Big 12 conference.
Big stakes and huge money involved. It will be interesting to see all of this play out over the next two weeks.

And every time they do, the little seismometer set up next to his tomb records a jolt.

And, the Liberal Democrats pander to the welfare state, the GLBT and illegal immigrants.
We need a Constitutional refocus.
I like Ron Paul.
QuoteTexas seems to think they can run the Big 12, but that sort of arrogance is one of the reasons why the Big 12 is quickly dissolving. I wouldn't be surprised to see Texas try to be an independent.
Texas may end up as an independent not by choice at the rate they're going. With the Pac12 getting its new media contract, I don't think they'll make the same sort of offer that the Longhorns could have gotten last year, and the other schools will quickly flee the (former) Big 12.
And if they have another season like last year....they seem to forget how recently it was that Oklahoma owned them.

Anyone notice a huge drop in unemployment, or a massive reduction in the deficit? Have the country's morals changed? did ANYTHING change?
Oh lookie! Yet another Christian-bashing thread! We can't go two days here without one of those.
Where did you get the idea that prayer automatically works overnight on such huge problems?
Making a bush catch on fire is easy. Creating millions of new jobs takes a little longer.
Awesome! So if GOD can't create jobs overnight, then maybe some people can back off blaming Obama then. After all, he's not God.
2.5 years isn't overnight.
I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Well, creating the entire universe in 6 days suggests that you're wrong. Look up "omnipotent" in a dictionary.
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
