I can’t resist. Salon has a story about Dubya’s last stop on the campaign trail: Arkansas. A direct quote: “Of those who said that he didn’t have the courage to tackle Social Security reform, Bush said, ‘they misunderestimated me.’ It was not a joke.” You know what? If this guy does get in, he’s going to be a bigger laugh than Dan Quayle. Perhaps Indiana’s besmirched reputation can finally be put to rest.
Ebert
I’ve been avoiding the Election issue today… but here’s another great article by my man Ebert.
Interesting
Salon.com is running a very interesting story about a scientific study tying puberty to birth weight. Apparently Spanish researchers were trying to figure out why young girls are developing earlier and earlier, and this is the theory they came up with. My own experience (late bloomer; horrendously fat baby) would seem to support this. 🙂
Bye week
Wow! ND has a bye week… and we move up four places on both the ESPN/USA Today Poll (we’re #12) and the AP Poll (we’re #11)! We should have bye weeks every week! 🙂
Go OC!
Now that the Weasels are officially out of the Interhall Football Playoffs, I feel I can finally give my support to Erin Place and the rest of the Off-Campus girls. LET’S GO SPAZ! BEAT THE DUCKS!

A great link from Kel, in the spirit of my earlier G.I. Joe post: “How to Catch the A-Team”.
We’ll take it, I guess
The current ESPN.com College Football Poll asks “Who is the most exciting team in college football today?” There are seven options to choose from, including all three Florida schools, Oklahoma, Northwestern, Washington… and Notre Dame. What in the world? I mean, we didn’t even play last week! Sure, our quarterback tribulations have been pretty interesting, but I don’t think anybody would argue that we’re more exciting than teams actually in the hunt for the national championship. It’s like they just threw us in because they needed another name people would recognize, while also giving the anti-ND crowd the satisfaction of seeing our name way down on the list. (We’re in 6th, ahead of Washington.) But again… WHY?

This article about game show contestants first reminded me of Lizzie (with her recent victory)… but as I got further and further into it, it started reminding me more and more of KELLY MCMAHON.
