    Online Poll: Michigan vs. Michigan State 

    Some of my Sparty friends are already ignoring the game, focusing on the Tigers. Well, I’m a pessimistic Michigan fan (two point conversion, Desmond, tripping, hello?), so “it ain’t over ’til it’s over”

    If you’ve read this far, thanks for wasting a few seconds of your life; now please take this poll. I’m testing out an online polling tool and your wasted seconds are helping with my research.

      get bent. Hopefully the Spartans share my total rage at the whole situation.

      I see Juddy voted twice. There can’t be two people out there who think the Sparties will win, can there?

      There’s just too much Lamar, Prescott, Leon “Michael”, Chad, Mario, Steve, et al for The Big Two (John L and Drew) to handle.

      Is it true that Kermit the Frog was really not there for Homecoming but is actually the Validictorian of the 06 class?

      Don’t the results depend on to whom you sent this? I talk good ’cause I went to State. And Doddsie, there are even people who live in Australia (moi) who believe that the Spartans will win. When asked what the difference is between AFL, rugby, rugby league and US football (gridiron) I always say that we (US) have bigger balls.
      Cheers

      This polling tool seems to be working just fine. Only possible downside is that the current set up doesn’t take into account the possibility (remote, I’m sure) that people might vote more than once. In spite of that, the results so far seem about right to me….Sparty on!

    Quotes on Democracy 

    With the mid-term elections coming up, the Foley mess, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the strong feelings on all sides over that, this felt like a good time to pull together some quotes on Democracy.

    I found the quotes in Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Colossal Collection of “Quotable” Quotes

    “Democracy was the right
    of the people to choose
    their own tyrants”

    James Madison

    “If we would learn what the
    human race really is at bottom,
    we need only observe it
    at elections times.”

    Mark Twain

    “Democracy: in which you
    say what you want but do
    what you’re told.”

    Gerald Berry

    “Bad officials are elected by
    good citizens who do not
    vote.”

    George Jean Nathan

    “Democracy is the art and
    science of running the circus
    from the monkey cage.”

    H.L. Mencken

      Democracy is the worst form of government … except for all of the others.

      –Winston Churchill

    Another copy of the PSM3 power-on video of the PS3 

    I noticed the folks from PSM3 pulled their video from YouTube, of the PS3, as Sony’s request. Someone else took the time to snag it and re-up it to YouTube. Enjoy.
