COLTS 35
PATRIOTS 34

The end of this game was the most fantastic moment of my weekend! Is it bad or pathetic that I admit that? Who cares. Bill Belichick finally doing himself in is a moment to be savored…cherished, if you will!! I can even hear a hint of glee in the voices of the sportscasters as they dissect that horrific ill advised decision! They’ll never admit it, but they’re enjoying this too. Ooooooh I love it!
And did you see Belichick’s “bodyguard” knock down the camera guy on the way to the exit?
-Now that sh*t was ridiculous. SMH.

“Ever wonder why Congress so often feels so out of touch with regular Americans? It’s because they’re not regular Americans! A study by the Center for Responsive Politics finds that out of the 535 members of the Senate and House of Representatives, 237 of them are millionaires. That means millionaires make up 44 percent of the members of Congress, compared to just 1 percent of all Americans. That’s a lot more millionaires!”

CNN Bumps Story About Ten Missing Black Women for 1 Non-Black Woman | What About Our Daughters

CNN Bumps Story About Ten Missing Black Women for 1 Non-Black Woman | What About Our Daughters:

(via clingtomymouth)

Now Newsweek is telling their story and asking why the rest of the coutnry doesn’t know that there is a serial killer in North Carolina killing Black women. Most interesting is when they discuss Nancy Grace’s decision to bump this story from her show. As you know, Nancy Grace is the pied piper of missing and murdered women and children.

But the national media did show some interest in the story after it was revealed that five women were murdered in or around the town.“Nancy Grace called and wanted to have some of us on her show, but before it aired there was a white woman from Georgia that went missing. The Nancy Grace show was canceled,” Knight says. HLN network, which broadcasts Nancy Grace, confirmed that Knight was booked for the show, which was ultimately canceled to profile the disappearance of Kristi Cornwell, a white woman from Blairsville, Ga., who went missing during an evening walk. Representatives from Nancy Grace told NEWSWEEK, “The booking was changed due to news that was breaking that day,” and emphasized the change had nothing to do with the race of the victim.

“My racial views? You mean, my belief in a colorblind society where every individual is treated as a precious human being without regard to his race? Where football players should earn as much as they can and keep as much as they can, regardless of race? Those controversial racial views?”

- Rush Limbaugh

No, these racial views (all verified, cited, and attributed) :

“We are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles … because his father was black.”

“I do believe” Obama is an “angry black guy.”

“[I]n Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering.”

“Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”

Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot.”

Obama is “Halfrican-American.”

“Obama has disowned his white half … he’s decided he’s got to go all in on the black side.”

Sotomayor “a reverse racist” appointed by Obama, “the greatest living example of a reverse racist.”

Obama “wants us to have the same health care and plan that he had in Kenya” and “wants to be the black FDR.”

Latching onto LA Times op-ed, Limbaugh sings “Barack, The Magic Negro.”

“God does not have a birth certificate. Neither does Obama”; Obama “has yet to prove he’s a citizen.”

Limbaugh on Gates controversy: “Here you have a black president trying to destroy a white policeman.”

Limbaugh suggests Obama would not have acted on Somali pirates if he’d known they were “actually young, black Muslim teenagers.”

Limbaugh suggests Democrats, media believe “you can’t criticize the little black man-child.”

“The government’s been taking care of [young blacks] their whole lives.”

“The days of [minorities] not having any power are over, and they are angry.”

“[M]inorities never do anything for which they have to apologize.”

Limbaugh: “The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.”

Limbaugh says “NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips.”

Limbaugh declares basketball “the favorite sport of gangs.”

Limbaugh invented “racial component” to Hackett’s decision to withdraw from Ohio primary race.

Limbaugh on Survivor series: “African-American tribe” worst swimmers, Hispanics “will do things other people won’t do.”

Limbaugh suggested Colin Powell only supported Obama because of race.

Limbaugh: Gates is an “angry racist.”

Limbaugh called illegal immigrants an “invasive species.”

Limbaugh repeatedly calls Native Americans “Injuns.”

Limbaugh says Democrats’ interest in Darfur is securing black “voting bloc.”

Limbaugh says that if “feminazis” had remembered to oppose “affirmative action for black guys … they wouldn’t face the situation they face today.”

Dadgummit Coach Bowden.

Coach, please stop. Everyday, every Saturday I feel like you’re walking over more broken glass with bloody feet. No one wanted to see it happen this way, but alas, the old adage is once again true…no one is bigger than the program. Even if you did build it. I wish I could be more sympathetic because of the awkward and sad situation that we all now share. But there you are every Saturday, throwing expired fertilizer on a pile of shit. –And I do feel bad saying that, but…
At this point you’re doing damage to the program beyond your departure. Recruiting has certainly suffered even with a ‘head coach in waiting’ on tap. There are a lot of good college programs for high caliber athletes to choose from now-a-days. Why come to a school on the decline when there are so many others on the upswing? Right now all Florida State has to offer is its history. And it ain’t enough anymore.
It’s just all so embarrassing and unfortunate…for everyone.
Admittedly, I harbor resentment after the whole Jeff Bowden debacle. Coach, you lost a lot of good will with that ridiculous situation. But at this point, it’s more.
What bothers me most is that it seems the fire in your belly is gone. I was pissed and saddened to watch some of the press conference after the USF loss. Some might say ‘oh that’s just Bobby being Bobby’…..but when you sat there and confoundingly said something like ‘well, they’re a lot better than I thought they were’. What?! When you leaned back in that chair and didn’t seem the slightest bit upset that your team was just, well, upset. There’s a problem. There’s a serious problem. Where’s the sense of urgency coach?? Perhaps it’s not your style, but this is your cue to say that ‘this is not acceptable’, ‘this is not representative of Florida State football’ and ‘this WILL change’. And say it convincingly.
But I guess we’ve learned, you don’t take cues.

““The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists — the Taliban and Hamas this morning — in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize,” wrote DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse. “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize — an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride — unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it’s an embarrassing label to claim.””

“Facebook and Twitter are tools. Frameworks wherein individuals place their content, not for everyone, but for their accumulated mass, which could be two or three or a few thousand, but which is rarely millions. If Whitney Houston can be all over mainstream media and only sell three hundred thousand albums in a country of three hundred million, do you really think the mainstream counts? The mainstream has become a sideshow!”

Player start time

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:46:13 -0400

Rock on blip!!!

bliptv:

Load time is one of the most important things on the Web. The faster something loads the more people view it, and the longer they spend with it. Google has found that just milliseconds in page load time improvement can make them tens of millions of incremental dollars.

For the past several weeks we’ve been slavishly focused on improving player start time. This is the amount of time it takes for the video to start playing after a viewer clicks play. I’m happy to announce that as of today we’re beating our initial goals for player start time improvement.

We’re going to be moving the goal posts soon. We’re not yet at the point where playback is or seems instant, which is where we want to be. We’ll be spending a lot more time on this. You’ll see the benefit in better viewer satisfaction, higher viewership and greater viewer engagement. There’s a lot of work left to do, but we’re on our way.
