I'm shocked that no one wants to play sports with the Hilster. Shocked.

She'll kick your ass at field hockey and competitive lying, which is a full contact sport for her.

This must be the subby who's responsible for that "Seahawks spitter" headline yesterday.

Naw, this one is actually comprehensible on first glance. The Seahawks one didn't make sense after 50 tries and three beers.

That's because her sport is full-contact figure skating.

If Obama turns out to be a ball-hog then I'm totally not voting for him. He needs to spread the ball around and look for the open man.

Jewronimo: When will John McCain offer a round of golf to students? LOL

I really could see him, against the requests of family and doctors, challenging the kids to a rugby match. 1-on-6.

Fun that Calbert Cheaney is with Obama on this.

I'll get to read in the paper soon that Obama supports bullwhipping ^.

Springy23: Can I has wrestling match with Jesse Ventura?

Dude, I'd have Jesse Ventura as my elected official in a second, if I could.

From The Wiki (new window):

Ventura's main campaign promise was a tax refund to Minnesota residents. The state was running a budget surplus at the time, and Ventura believed that the money should be given back to the public. In political debates, he often admitted that he had not formed an opinion on certain policy questions. Sharing many views with libertarians, Ventura frequently described himself as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal." He selected teacher Mae Schunk as his running mate. His participation in the 1998 Minnesota Governor debates boosted his popularity as a candidate.

Later as governor, he came to support a unicameral (one-house) legislature, light rail public transport, property tax reform, gay rights, and abortion rights. While funding public school education generously, he opposed the teachers' union, and did not have a high regard for the public funding of higher-education institutions. Additionally, Ventura supported the use of medicinal marijuana, advocated a higher role for third parties in national politics, and favored the concept of instant-runoff voting.

My sarcasometer isn't working right now. Could you clarify if that was facetious or not (and if so, what you disagree with)?

This is a pretty good example of how Obama uses local media, and shuns, comparatively, the national news to get his name out.

His ground game is superior.

The winner needs to watch for B. Hussein staffer Reggie Love's famous teabag crossover (NSFW) if they want to have any chance of winning.
