some loose "truths" floating around.

+fact no. 1+
forget the irrelevant knockout-style FA cups. Outside the top 4, everton (9 titles), villa (7), sunderland (6), newcastle (4), blackburn (3) have been english champions more times than spurs.

+fact no.2+
forget all competitions. spurs weren't the 2nd highest EPL scorers last season. they were behind villa - and even liverpool.

+fact no.3+
spurs are 7th, not 4th, in the all-time EPL table - behind the top 4 plus villa and newcastle.

in King’s Antics Block Congressional Testimony on WMD, Torture on The Iowa Independent
Reflects King's political origins Intriguingly,  King's disruptive tactics to prevent a fair hearing of Feith's testimony recall in reverse the incident that spurred King to run for the state legislature the first time.


In that instance, he was scheduled to testify as a witness, and a legislator interrupted King's opening statement to ask King a series of questions that consumed the rest of King's scheduled minutes, which is said to have infuriated King.


He strikes me as a man who broods over old slights, and I'm sure the resemblance added to his enjoyment.

in Steve King: Hey, Wait, American Chicks Are Hot, Too on The Iowa Independent
King's Selective Memory Here's another part of the Atlantic article from which King probably culled his prurient factoid:


"Goh announced that women would be given eight weeks of paid maternity leave after the birth of their third child (previously they were given paid leave only for their first and second children). He outlined a 'baby bonus' plan, whereby the government would pay families up to the equivalent of about $5,000 in U.S. currency over six years for a second child and up to twice that for a third.  The money would be earmarked for the children's educational needs."


You'll notice that the only part of Singapore's plan that "kind of stood out in King's mind" was the incidental trivia of the newspaper in car windows, not the substantial government social spending that was the actual functional nuts and bolts of the program.

in Leaked: ABC’s Stephanopoulos interviews John McCain on The REAL McCain
A question for George Stephanopoulos - George - I know time is short, the interview with McCain is looming large - perhaps if you down a couple of bottles of the new and improved "Political Viagra" you will grow big enough balls to actually ask McCain some "hard" questions. And don't worry if the effect lasts for more that 4 hours - you need all the balls you can get.

in Herb Chambers complaint, commentary & update on The Cosmic Tap
Their Honda certification at boston herb chambers is total BS. They don't even bother to go thru the 150 checkpoint but just write completed. When I bought a car, i found about 13 points not meeting the certification requirement. I'm in the process of reporting this to Honda. Just watch out.

in I’ve Had Quite Enough Of Christopher Hitchens on Jack and Jill Politics
As an atheist, I have no problem at all with someone devoting their life to defending it. We need it.


But Hitchens is a moron and a jerk, and I SO wish the press would start ignoring him. I suppose they find him entertaining; there's no shortage of morons and jerks on TV.



I've never known an atheist that wasn't a nice, reasonable (and generally liberal) person, and it pains me to see a guy like Hitchens purporting to represent atheism. Uh.

in Report: King Fails As Breadwinner For Western Iowa on The Iowa Independent
A Questionable Angle I don't know that this is actually a useful angle-- or even necessarily a fair one-- for criticizing King.  At least not when positioned as crudely as it is in this article.  After all, I presume that if King had been a standout in obtaining pork for the Fifth District this page would have criticized the inconsistency with King's conservative rhetoric about government spending.


Understand, I am no fan of King's.  I think he's a windbag and a jackass: dishonest on some points, hateful and bigoted on others, and merely foolish on most of the rest.  And I accept as possible that the meagreness of the federal funding he's obtained for Iowa may have more to do with ineffectiveness at working with House colleagues than with adherence to any conservative principles.  But I still think there's something wrong about this article, and that it doesn't reflect well on our side to employ this argument.

in Huckabee Cans Negative Romney Ad, but Gives Press a Peek Anyway on The Iowa Independent
Huckster, model of integrity This slimy, underhanded attack is what you might expect from a man who was ranked #6 in Judicial Watch's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2007.  The details behind their ranking -


6.  Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR):  Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record.  According to The Associated Press:  "[Huckabee's] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor's office."  And what was Governor Huckabee's response to these ethics allegations?  Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.

#1 on the list?  Hillary Clinton.  #10?  Harry Reid. 


The allegedly "dishonest" Mitt Romney was nowhere in sight.

While the toy might be cool, do NOT buy it from Play.com - they've got terrible customer service (a good search will confirm this), they won't answer phone or emails and will even lock you out of your credit-card account information. Do NOT order from them.

in Man Utd 2-0 Blackburn on Footytube.com
*** is wrong with you moany old bar stewards? So you have to use your brain a bit, and might have to make 2 clicks instead of one. In the case of this post, the first one went to 8 minute video link with superb quality. It's pretty obvious why they've had to start doing this and for me, I prefer the links, beats 4 embeds to a page, if Youtube is slow, sometimes you had to wait an age for the vids to appear, and now you get to see interviews etc too.

Jeez theres really no pleasing some people, keep up the good work Footytube and ignore these moany **** who have nothing better to do than sit there posting incosiderate *****.
