FSU Seminoles a 70 Point Spread Against Savannah State

Savannah State lost to Oklahoma State last week - 84-0

From the Boston Globe

OK, so you’re planning to plop down a few bucks on a college football game -- legally, of course -- and trying to decide whether to stick with the favorite or take the points.

Well, here’s a tough one.

If you go with No. 6 Florida State in Saturday’s game against lowly Savannah State, you’ll be starting with a 70½-point deficit.

That’s right, SEVENTY AND A HALF!

Michelle Obama Struck Gold on Being a Family

FSU Girl - Kathleen Parker

Harry Note - Kathleen Parker writes a relatively conservative column for the Washington Post. But like Charlie Crist (former Florida governor) - it seems like more and more the Republican Party has left her. She does not tow the party line as much - very similar to George Will. I love how she writes - I love that she is an FSU girl - and to me bright women are very sexy. She looks like the thousands of women walking around Florida State's campus - including Lulu.

There’s no point trying to find something wrong with Michelle Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention. It was perfection.

From her stage presence to her delivery — from the punctuating smile to the stra­tegic repeti­tion of the words “you see” — it was brilliant. The first lady ruled the first night of the conven­tion, and that’s saying some­thing given the lineup of ora­torical stars she followed, notably the Castro twins, Julian and Joaquin, respec­tively mayor of San Antonio and Texas congressional can­didate.

Seminole Auto Glass - New Windshield for Our Van

 First Larry removed the old windshield

 Then he cleaned out the old adhesive

 Next new adhesive was installed

Then we placed the windshield in and replaced the trim.

Today - we finally completed title and registration work for the van. Due to a computer problem by South Carolina - it took 3 months to get everything done. So now we can use it legitimately. We have an official Florida title and license plate.

The windshield was a little cloudy and had a couple cracks in it. So at 1 PM today - I called Seminole Auto Glass. I asked for a price on a windshield for a 1994 Dodge Van. I expected to have to order it - then wait for it to be delivered. The  office manager said - they could pick up the glass and do it this afternoon. Within 2 hours - Larry Seymour (the owner) was at our house with the windshield. By 4 PM - the job was complete. I highly recommend the service.

Total cost was $240 with tax.

Romney Running Mate Paul Ryan Lying About His Marathon Time

Not only does he lie about his running time - the record book say 4 hours and 1 minute - he says 2 hours 50 minutes - but he says he does not run marathonS anymore. He only ran one.

When I was a teacher at Panther Valley School District - we had a superintendent that claimed he was a Navy Seal. He worked for 3 years making $100,000 a year - before he was caught by a real Navy Seal that looked it up. He was fired - mainly for that - but when they looked up his records - he did not even have a real Superintendent's license.

They tried this guy in court - and the court later ruled that you can't be put in jail for lying about your military record. Can you be elected vice president for lying about your Marathon Race time?

A marathon in 4 hours is about 6.5 MPH

A marathon in 3 hours is about 8.7 MPH

Lulu and I on our daily walk do a pace of 3 MPH - we do it for 3 miles. Well maybe some times we do it for 2 miles. Maybe sometimes we don't do it every day.

Rosie Ruiz Republicans

By PAUL KRUGMAN

Remember Rosie Ruiz? In 1980 she was the first woman to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon — except it turned out that she hadn’t actually run most of the race, that she sneaked onto the course around a mile from the end. Ever since, she has symbolized a particular kind of fraud, in which people claim credit for achieving things they have not, in fact, achieved.

And these days Paul Ryan is the Rosie Ruiz of American politics.

What Muffins Say About Mitt Romney

By MARIE MYUNG-OK LEE

SOME supporters of Mitt Romney, in an effort to make him seem more human (or at least humanoid), have been disseminating a story, first told by a biographer, about how their candidate has a charmingly eccentric habit: he eats only the tops of muffins. His theory is that during the baking process, the butter sinks to the bottom. This story conveys so many things: our guy is an everyday Joe — he eats muffins, not crumpets. And look, even his breakfast is an opportunity to make disciplined decisions — just think how he’ll do with the budget.

PAUL RYAN Lies About His Marathon Time - Claims 2 hours 50 minutes - it was really 4 hours and 1 minute - Slower Than Sarah Palin

From ABC News - 

COLUMBUS — Paul Ryan is an athlete, no question about it — we know he does the rigorous P90X exercise regime daily. But is he a marathoner?

On Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Aug. 22, it sure sounded like he was, at least in his youth.

Hewitt asked the vice presidential candidate whether he is “still running.”

Ryan answered that he “hurt a disc” in his back,” so he doesn’t “run marathons anymore.” Instead, he said. he just runs 10 miles or less.

Best Quote from the Republican Convention

Christopher Shays - a delegate and former moderate Connecticut congressman - was asked if he felt lonely at this conservative masquerade ball.

He laughed and then said wistfully - “Our biggest crime was trying to impeach the one president who was working with us.”
