No comments from the peanut gallery on my t-shirt being a symbol of USC’s “dirty” program, please. 🙂 Oh, and about those hand-prints on Becky’s bra? I’d love to take credit, but they’re totally not mine! My hands are way bigger. 😛 They’re actually hers. I’m not sure what inspired her to grab her own boobs… I guess that’s just… Read more »
If you’ve been following the Mountain West-WAC drama of recent days, you really need to check out the Mountain West’s Facebook feed. (What’s below is just a small sample.) Funny stuff.

NASA writes: The show begins at sundown when Venus, Saturn, Mars and the crescent Moon pop out of the western twilight in… Read more »
Jeffrey Goldberg, writing the cover story of next month’s Atlantic, newly online today, gives us something new — well, not new, but something newly revived — to #PANIC!!!! about: Israel attacking Iran in the near future. Outlining the scenario that he envisions potentially unfolding, Goldberg writes: When the Israelis begin to bomb the uranium-enrichment facility at Natanz, the formerly secret… Read more »
As I tweeted earlier, I suspect that I may be the only person who attended both the Bennet for Senate victory party and the Maes for Governor victory party in Denver tonight.
