		<description>Toonces...did the Supreme Court aka the Republican Judges like Clarence "don't touch me there !" Thomas give King George, the Mindlessly Aggresive, the thrown ? yay or nay. That's an open question quite closed even now in many minds

.. and as for comparing sports teams...pro and college..well there is no real bowl or otherwise comparison there at least in the last # of years leading many to wonder why Mn teams which share nearly the same high school livestock as Wisconsin (almost) always function at such a lesser level..I don't know why this is. Do you ?</description>

		<description>Usually win?  Try "Wisconsin, where our football team normally wins, and we spend the baseball and basketball seasons drinking Thompson's Water Seal waiting to hear whether or not our beloved Quarterback is returning."

And like it or not, it's time to accept it, he's been elected twice, not nearly elected.  Saying he was nearly elected is like saying the Vikings were 2-3 plays away from being 10-6--they weren't, so it's irrelevant.</description>

		<description>But all bets must surely be off since the George the Wise and Benevolent has twice been our nearly elected President brazenly stealing those elections without using any balls. Quite a trick. Sorry Iraq</description>

		<description>Edwards played football at Clemson, albeit as a walk-on tackling dummy and only for one year, so he's the frontrunner in my book.

That said, I bet if you drop Kucinich in a pickup game anywhere in North America, he's going to run the point comfortably and get five or ten quiet steals.  He's lost a step on the fast break in the past few years, but he makes up for it with an almost otherworldly understanding of how the game works.</description>
