What a great way to describe your loyalties, you view your alma mater at the minor leagues and the school you have nothing to do with as the big leagues.  That's healthy.

If you are poor do you want a society that will increase the number of middle class and wealthier folks or one that makes it increasingly hard for a person to enhance his or her station in life?  Do you truly think that Democratic Party policies help folks get ahead in hard times?  Or, do they tend to increase dependency and make it harder for people to get out of the cycle of poverty? Your point of view is a legitimate point to discuss, but your smug statements that assume all righteousness is on your side is a little bit wearing, if not to mention arrogant.  

I don't think its controversial to say that Republicans are generally opposed to social safety nets and govt programs designed to help the Poor where Democrats are usually for them. And I don't think its smug or righteous of me to suggest that someone would vote in their own best interest, regardless if its truly effective or if its whats best from a broad perspective.

C'mon squid boy.....sing along: "Be true to your school now, just like you would to your girl or guy, be true to your school and let your colors fly", etc

And, the winner of the BobcatAttack Edition of Name that Tune is .  . . the Grunt himself, oldkatz!   

Ah, yes, forgot about that one.  I guess you came out of those long marches with your brain intact.  

Happy Veterans Day! 

Here's an interesting turn-

This article about the Colbert Report sites "a study done at the University of Ohio" (question #4), but when you click on the link it sites a study from Ohio State.

Would be mad if Ohio University was called University of Ohio, would be mad if Ohio State was referred to Ohio University, but OSU referred to as University of Ohio? Pretty funny.

Does anyone have any idea what any of the above means.  Hint:  It's in a language that is, apparently, somewhat close to English.

I grew up in Central Ohio, my dad went to Ohio State, so in spite of being a graduate of Ohio University I will still root for Ohio State. Of course I'll always root for the Bobcats more when they play each other, but I won't apologize for being an Ohio State fan too. Just my two cents..

To me, this topic always comes down to this scenario.  Let's say it was the football team playing in Columbus this weekend.  The game was suppose to have been played in September, but a tornado went through.  No loss of life (so it is not like the Buckeyes are playing for the devastated people of Ohio), but officials were afraid of structural damage to the shoe. 

So the football team has a chance to knock off OSU.  Take them completely out of national championship consideration.  Yes, we would be heavy, heavy underdogs, but who do you root for?  I ask this because I know a number of folks that I went to school with that would have said #1 and I know a good number of folks that would answer #3....but really mean #2 (or say #2 but really feel #1).  (FYI - you are a zero if you select "0").

So here you go.  Ohio at OSU this weekend in football what do you do...

0. I'd stay out of this - I can't choose between my two loves.

1. I'd root for OSU - an Ohio victory would be great, but a national championship is hard to come by.  Sorry, need to say "go Buckeyes."....but I'd want Ohio to play well.

2. I'd root for Ohio, but wouldn't mind an OSU win and Oho to play well - works for both teams.

3. I'd root for Ohio.  While I know it would ruin OSU's chance for a national championship and open up the team to the ridiculing world in the SEC as being posers, I always root for Ohio - no matter what.

4. Hell Yes I'd root for Ohio.  This is perfect.  We get a statement win.  We knock OSU out of National Championship contention and We open the door for the Buckeyes to be ridiculed and stomped on across the nation as posers that should never be considered for a National Championship.

To me, any answer but #4 is disappointing.  But I appreciate those from the state of Ohio that bleed green and honestly say #3.

So, what do you say?
