Audacity of Truth
Gaffetastic:
Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed SF when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.” - SF Chronicle, 1-18-12
Friday night linkage
For your perusal:
—- Has 60 Minutes been duped – again? Gateway Pundit examines a news story they recently did on Karl Rove regarding disgraced former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and Rove’s “role” in Siegelman’s downfall and finds the sourcing highly questionable. So does the Alabama state GOP. Make sure to read the whole thing.
—- Blackfive posts that our patatroopers in Afghanistan need a morale boost. Visit his site to find out what you can do to help. For that matter, after you send an email to support to our paratroopers in Afghanistan, go here and show your support for all of our combat forces fighting overseas to keep us safe here at home.
—- Oh, and speaking of Afghanistan, thanks for nothing, Drudge. More here.
—- One person who I’m betting many male troops in Iraq are happy to hear about supporting them is actress Angelina Jolie. Yep, you read it correctly 
—- As if that weren’t enough to please male Republicans across the country, US Magazine reports that actress Angie Harmon – wife of former NFL pro Jason Sehorn – is supporting John McCain.
—- More importantly to yours truly and female readers of this blog is the news that Patriots QB Tom Brady might model for a few Calvin Klein ads. I’m already having trouble concentrating at the thought. Who am I? What does “Dell” mean? 
—- Shocking news (not): Looks like Barry Bonds tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2001, the same year he hit 73 home runs, breaking Mark McGwire’s 1998 single-season 70 HR record. And while we’re on the subject of steroids and baseball, what’s your take on all the Congressional back and forth going on on the subject?
—- Here’s the latest on the ricin found in a hotel room in Las Vegas yesterday. The occupant of the room is in critical condition and has been in the hospital since mid-February. A family member discovered the ricin Thursday after visiting to pick up his things. Authorities have ruled out terrorism but still don’t know how the ricin got there.
—- Uh, waterboarding as a motivational tool to increase sales?
—- Last but certainly not least, congrats to Bob Owens and his wife and their bundle of joy, who first graced them with her presence on Valentine’s Day. The latest addition to the Owens family is absolutely beautiful

My take on the steroid hearings and Arlen Specter’s “Spygate” grandstanding is that they are both ridiculous wastes of time. I have, in the newspaper column I write for my local weekly (it’s not on the Internet, sorry)
, I have stated that steroids didn’t make Bonds, Clemens and McGwire into great players and that anyone who played a major portion of their career pre-1947 (Jackie Robinson’s breaking the color barrier which had been in effect for over 60 years) benefitted from not facing the likes of Satchel Paige (in his prime), Josh Gibson and so forth probably as much if not more than any steroid user. In other words, if there were fully integrated major leagues from 1880-1947 (and actually it wasn’t until the late 1950s that a few teams even had one black player), Babe Ruth wouldn’t have had 714 home runs, Ted Williams wouldn’t have had a .406 batting average (he had to play that last day in 1941 or the average would have been rounded down to .399 under the rules of the time, which he knew) and Cy Young wouldn’t have 511 wins. If the BBWAA “Pete Rose”‘s Bonds and Clemens, disband them and the Baseball Hall Of Fame as well.
As for Specter and the NFL, the same man crying about “Spygate) is the same man who wrote the “Magic Bullet” theory in the Warren Commission Report. He probably still believes that one bullet could do that much damage to two people and come out almost intact.
Hey I’ve got some lovely shots of Brady picking himself up off of his a** during the Super Bowl if he needs any promo pics.
That’s just cold, NC – cold! LOL

**Shudders**
By the way, here is something to listen to on jeff Healey to remember him by…..

ST be great if you could post this for a watch and listen.
Confidence Man is a good song by him.
You may remember him mainly from the movie Roadhouse….
I believe this is music from it:

Sorry if I am spamming here – it truly a waste not to share his music……
Sanity, I’m questioning your sanity for posting that. Do you realize how many nightmares you generated????
Sanity!!! That is more revolting than the moron who said Hitlery was sexy. I almost lost my breakfast. – Lorica
Sanity, it’s a good thing I hadn’t eaten yet today before reading that, or I’d be cleaning oatmeal out of my keyboard right about now…
FARVE RETIRES!!
I did not want to hijack a thread.
Excuse me FAVRE RETIRES!!!
I was thinking he might go out after this last year. I kept telling a friend of mine, “it sure would be nice if the Pack would win the SB for Farve’s last year.” Sadly the Pack didn’t even get to the Superbowl. This truly is a sad day for the Pack. – Lorica
Lorica,
I think not signing Moss This year did it.
Just started a new thread on it, PCD – thanks for the tip
