The Count

I saw Wisconsin beat Minnesota for the Paul Bunyon Axe. What are some other neat tophies out there?

At least he could get really mean it.

The national debt was about $5.7 trillion when Bush took office in January 2001. Today, after almost eight years and a couple of "wars", the debt has risen to about $9.7 trillion.

And, by the way, that figure might rise another $1 trillion or so before Bush steps down on Jan. 20.

The national debt ceiling today is $10.6 trillion. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson wants Congress to raise that to $11.3 trillion to clear the decks for massive borrowing to deal with the nation’s financial crisis.

A national debt of $11.3 trillion would come to more than $37,000 each for every man, woman and child in the United States.

And all this comes during an era of allegedly conservative, fiscally responsible Republican domination in Washington.

How are we all going come up with $37,000 to fix this mess?

Country First?

Many non-believers feel there is no God because of evil. But maybe God is waiting for the right opportunity to end evil with the second coming.

It is up there.but I would have voted for the Safety Dance by Men Without Hats

I guess he goes to the AL as DH. Oakland, Seattle or LA make sense -- but who would want to pay for him?

I was able to get tickets in the second row of a Third Day concert. Being that close is quite an amazing and cool experience. Anyone else like to share/

I've noticed an annoying trend during the tournament of the cheerleaders just yelling "ooooooooh' while the opposing team has the basketball. Michigan State and Duke have always done it, and yesterday, I heard Notre Dame do it as well. I understand the point of annoying the other team and to cheer on your defense - but after a while it gets so old and unbearable as a fan. Can't they do something original? I don't see the point and fot that much the point of cheerleaders at all. What do you think?

Don't get all bent - I am having fun - but Wisconsin has a shot. Tell me why or why not.

GO BADGERS!

I am trying to understand, so feel free to post. How can you oppose abortion but support the death penalty? I don't get it.

The closest I ever came was Fred Rogers aka Mr. Rogers. Anyone have a cool story to share?

I've gone to hundred of games over my life and never got a foul ball. I've come close a lot. Anyone have a good story?

They advertise nationally. However, there is not a Sonic in my area. What is the place like? Just curious.

Thanks!

I love to Count... ah ah ah ah ah!

Al Gore wins Florida in 2000 because he had less hanging chads. How would the world be like today?

The "goal" of the BCS is to have #1 play #2.

Let's say Ohio State beats Michigan by failed 2 point conversion in triple OT.

In my opinion, the BCS Championship should be Michigan vs. OSU in a rematch. If you are #2 in the country for a month like Michigan would be and lose to #1 team, that would still make you #2. A real playoff would make this easier. Thoughts?

I vote for "Hanging Tough" by New Kids on the Block. Yuck.

Okay, you can stop laughing....those who played or still do speak up!

My favorite 2600 game was Circus Atari! Block graphics!! Yeah!

The Count Rules.

One wonderful question. Ah Ah Ah!!!
