It's rivalry week: Nevada vs. UNLV
I’ve been looking for something to get up on the site for this week, and I’ve found it. Thanks to John Trent, who along with Jean Dixon and Brandon Stewart put together this cool video, people can understand a little bit better why this is the best rivalry that doesn’t get any TV coverage.

Another "greet us as liberators" idiot
There needs to be a club for people like Dan Friedman, preferably one with locked doors and straightjackets. He thinks Bush can save himself and the Republicans by attacking Iran: “All the damaging consequences of all the blunders the President has committed to date in Iraq are reversible in 48- to 72-hours - the time it will take to destroy Iran’s fragile nuclear supply chain from the...
