Good morning, all you lovely Glibs and Gliberinas? Am I doing this right? Sloopy contacted me late last night (or early this morning, really) because I guess he figured I’d be the only one up? Well his gamble worked. Between the new baby and the bad idea fairy dust, I am here and ready to fill in.

Let’s see **checks notes** bitch about ‘Bama taking the bowl at Jerryland and leaving the Buckeyes with a crappy game that will only host 3000. Okay. Laugh at A&M getting shut out of the CFP football playoff and rub hands gleefully about another year paying Jimbo Fisher to make them a fourth-placed team. Got it. Holy shit, the Bucs spotted the Falcons 17 and didn’t score in the first half and then… Antonio Brown caught the winning TD? I did not have AB contributing to a Bucs win on my 2020 bingo card. The Rams did what they do and gave away an easy win at home. Ravens destroy the Jags, and the Viqueens lost to Da Bears.

I suppose that does make the find and replace for us easier. Benjamin Disraeli, a man who Trump should have emulated. Celebrities: Hanoi Jane, Kiefer Southerland, Samuel L. Jackson. In baseball, new HR record holder Josh Gibson, and that’s about it.

But you come here for links, so links you shall have:

I hope this kid gets less fucked up than the Mousekateers. Seriously, though, he’s probably gonna join the tres commas club before he joins the double digit club in age.

This isn’t a scientific paper, its an editorial with graphs.
