First up, Hitting to all Fields is a quick round up of stories I find interesting. It's bigger than the list of stuff over on the left, because I'm adding my two cents to the pieces. As Tetreaultvision covers a lot of ground, so will Hitting to all Fields.
Say Goodnight, Gmen - Andy Furman of Ultimate NYG sticks a fork in the Giants and determines, they're done. A loss in Denver does not a season end, ask Tom Brady, but a middling record and inconsistent performances from your best back (Brandon Jacobs they name is FAIL) and young receiver corps does not inspire confidence in a team's ability to turn it around quickly. They have the skill players to be dynamic and might squeak in at 10-6, but even that is holding out hope where it barely exists. In other NFL news Detroit and Oakland were who we thought they were. They both embraced the suck on the way to losses against the Pack and Cowboys, respectively.
Texas holds off the Aggies - Fantastic game in College Station. The Longhorns defense was proved somewhat suspect thanks to a remarkable night by a remarkable young quarterback. Jerrod Johnson ran and threw right through the Texas defense. The tightness of this contest may cause Texas to slip enough in the BCS rankings to give us a BCS Championship rematch of the SEC Championship to be played next Saturday. Florida and Alabama need to win their big rivalry games this weekend to set up that one and one. Alabama Auburn is underway this afternoon. Florida-Florida State is tomorrow afternoon.
More comment on the fallout of Climategate - Ed Driscoll of Pajamas Media crawls through the archives to remind us of a environmental disaster that also failed to live up to its billing. Remember acid rain? Ed does. And in connecting the dots notes a rather disturbing trends of shading and falsification among note only climate scientists, but supporters of statist policies. His piece warrants a read the whole thing advisory. Meanwhile, the Czar of Muscovy, writing from his throne at Castle Gormogon, cautions "[t]his information is far from being the stake in the heart that the Cap and Trade or Copenhagen vampires would need." The Czar remains one of the preeminent global sources of data regarded the proper staking of both vampires and peasants - the Czar fails to distinguish between the two until after the fact.
Lou Dobbs is running for President - The proof is in the pandering.
But at least you've got your health, right? - Byron York of the Washington Examiner looks at the facts and figures and concludes the Democrat strategy is to pass reform by year end, hoping voters have a short memory. That would work if only one odious bill was being passed. Congress is barely beloved even when it's quiet. With general unrest at government overreaches beginning with the two wars waged on foreign soil and continuing through massive deficits, increased structural debt, the takeover of finance and automotive companies, new potential taxes on energy, oh and the highest unemployment since teh Interwebs were but a gleam in young Al Gore's eye, a rush to pass a bill they don't understand that takes healthcare choices away and replaces them with mandates is destined to sear the memory on the minds of voters.
As the picture above shows, Black Friday deals are best enjoyed from the comfort of home. You can find a rundown of them here.
