Something to think about

As you watch the testimony of General Petraeus in front of Congress, put this video clip in the back of your mind. How would D-Day have been handled in an era of 24-hour cable news?

This isn't perfect, and it isn't political. It is directly aimed at the way the modern media comports itself.

When up is down and down is up

Props to Kurt's Korner for his call on the Bizarro World- Michigan Style. I sense that the apocalypse may be upon us. Michigan is 0-2 and has been beaten like a rented mule at home. They have been humiliated by a 1-AA team and a not-great Oregon squad. And they have looked totally discombobulated in the process, which is atypical for them.

The other bizarrity is that the Lions looked good and are undefeated. I think I'm going to sell all my possessions and move to the mountaintop. This is so odd. The clip below encapsulates my thoughts this morning.
