It has been awhile since the Den has seen some "talent" so I am jumping the gun on the Friday Hottie.
What do you get when you combine womanizing, arrogant, drunk, smoking fiended, assholes with historically accurate (if a little Hollywoodized) NYC backdrop, good story lines, and obscenely hot women*?
You get an awesome TV show called Mad Men. But more importantly...January Jones. This is clearly the hottest woman alive* *(aside from Mrs. BD2)
What's that? Not really into the blond, girl next door look? How about insanely hot redheads with absurdly huge boobs? Yep, Mad Men's got you covered there too.
Being a douche on the news must be a tough gig because these fools lose their shit on the regular...
This has nothing to do with news broadcasts, but Jim Mora is one Jackal mother fucker. I wish he would coach the Skins. Not so they could win, but for the phenomenal after game speeches:
Aldente Sschawannz or whatever the fuck your name is. It has been so long I forget. I smoked your Cubans, enjoyed your ball busting, drank your keg, enjoyed your Den contributions, but now nothing. Its almost as if you were a gay clone all this time and hid your true colors. Where the hell is our kick ass banner for the Den? Where the hell is our Vegas update? Is this how you treat your fellow jackals?
Droppa? I know you work like a African pirate and shit but damn post a comment or something. We miss your jackalness. You have yet to write word one in this bitch.
Big Al? well your family...
Steven, The Wiz, Crazy Pat, Drinka, all my real live jackals. Ya'll have been pretty decent about throwing a random comment here and there but shit...where you at??
Next Mancation roster may need to be reviewed. I think we may have been infiltrated by gay clones last year.
But today there's some good news for Mr. Deep, not to mention basically everyone else out there - the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has scored the Senate Financial Services bill and found the following:
The plan will cover 29 million people who would otherwise have been uninsured.
Only 3 million people will be removed from private health insurance.
5 million fewer people will use the individual insurance market, the source of a lot of the current horror stories.
29 million legal residents will have have insurance who would otherwise not have.
In other words, Mr. Deep, you can have your cake and eat it too. This is far from the perfect bill in my mind - it doesn't include a public option, there are still a lot of fucked up incentives that will need to be corrected, and I would much rather just go to a single payer system like every other developed nation. But it's a hell of an improvement. And to everyone out there who called this pretty ideologically centrist effort socialism or a government takeover or wasteful spending, here are some words of advice: go find a new hobby. Because your attempts to fuck up the country in your spare time because of paranoid fear and ill-thought-out ideology is pretty fucking annoying to the rest of us.
In other political news, it looks like Schubert and I have the right idea. Now the rest of you, move to the dirty south - you'll be able to buy a house without bankrupting yourself AND we'll be able to live in a Democratic paradise!
SS, you're a consummate shit talker. No one attempts to tear that from your Scottish/Chinese grip, but I like to let numbers talk. BD, I love the way we lost that game. Mark Clayton is straight, he'll get many more throws his way and you better believe he has already forgotten about the ONE drop on their two-minute drill to end the game in an extremely hostile environment. Psst, it was the first loss and it came on the road against the NFL's pride and joy. Joe Flacco through a season and 4 games:
Any more additions? I am keeping a Jackal Reading list.
Rusty's website gave me an idea. Let me know if some Jackals want to start swapping some books via USPS. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper than Amazon route. And it would motivate peeps to get through more books if peeps were waiting to have it sent back.
(I know the first post label makes no sense, but it came up as a default and brought back memories.)
