Ethel Merman Meets Ron Paul

2012-02-01T21:09:00.001-06:00

This morning I saw a snarky article titled "Sh#t Libertarians Say." It featured many unfunny comments like: the Fed is the root of all evil or do you accept gold? However, there was one comment that made me smile: there's no government like no government. That classis Ether Merman standard could and should be updated to feature libertarian ideals: There's No Government Like No Government

Nihilist Football Picks: Super Bowl Prediction

2012-02-01T19:23:00.002-06:00

Here's my final prediction of the year: Patriots -3 over Giants I'll either end up 32-27-1 or 31-28-1 for the pros. I'd remind folks that I went 30-21 in College.

Nancy Pelosi appeared on CNN yesterday with some disturbing revelations. And I'm not just talking about her new hair cut. She also had some salacious innuendo to pass along about Newt Gingrich:Nancy Pelosi told CNN last night that Newt Gingrich would definitely not become president, whether he was the GOP nominee or not."He’s not going to be president of the United States,” Pelosi said. “That’s

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Conference Championships

2012-01-18T20:48:00.000-06:00

Last week I went 1-2 in the pros to bring my season total to 29-27-1, after going 30-21 with college picks. There are only two games this week, and I'll take the points in both: Ravens +9 at Patriots Giants +3 at 49ers

Top 11 Reasons Mitt Romney Likes Firing People

2012-01-12T21:17:00.000-06:00

Mitt Romney recently helped the mainstream media toward their goal of reelecting President Obama. He served up a perfect quote that can be taken out of context to help them validate their narrative that he is an evil, heartless, robber baron. Romney's words during a breakfast forum of the Nashua Chamber of Commerce included these words on why the free market is a better provider of goods and

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Divisional Playoffs

2012-01-12T20:48:00.000-06:00

I had my worst week of the year last week, going 0-3 in the college BCS games and 1-2 in the pros. That finishes the college year at a strong 30-21 and leaves me at 28-25-1 for the pros. There are only four games this week, and I'll continue my tradition of picking three, skipping the question of whether divine intervention can lead Tim Tebow to a massive upset, or at least coverage of a big

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Wildcard/College Championship

2012-01-03T18:50:00.000-06:00

Last week got off to a promising start, with a 3-0 mark in the pros. Unfortunatley, I uncharacteristically went 0-3 in college bowl games. This brought my record to 30-18 for college and 27-23-1 for the pros. This is my last chance at college games, so I'll pick two traditional bowls plus the BCS title game, and the first round of NFL playoffs: College: Virginia Tech -1 1/2 vs Michigan (Sugar

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Week 17/College January 2 Bowls

2011-12-31T11:14:00.000-06:00

Last week I had another set of 2-1 results for both pro and college. That leaves me at 24-23-1 for the pros and 30-15 for college. I will pick the final week of pro football as well as some January 2 bowl games (the traditional New Year's Day games are delayed one day as they are every year where New Years Day is a Sunday). Next week I will pick BCS bowl games including the championship and

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Week 16/College Minor Bowls

2011-12-22T19:52:00.001-06:00

Last week I split 1-1-1 as the Rams at +7 pushed by losing by exactly 7. That puts my pro record at 22-22-1. Fortunately, college football is back as the minor bowl games have begun, so I have a chance to add to my 28-14 record there and get a few laughs out of some crappy bowl names. Pro: Redskins -7 vs Vikings Bills +3 1/2 vs Broncos Saints -7 1/2 vs Falcons Minor College Bowl Games: Belk

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Week 15

2011-12-14T21:24:00.000-06:00

A 1-2 week left me at 21-21 for pro games this year. I'd be remiss in failing to remind readers that my college rate has been considerably more successful at 28-14. I'll probably pick a few bowl games, but there are none this week. Here are my pro picks: Saints -7 1/2 at Vikings Buccaneers +7 vs Cowboys Rams +7 vs Bengals

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Week 14

2011-12-08T21:05:00.000-06:00

I'm sorry to see college football take a break, as I went 28-14 after going 3-0 in conference championship games. I went 2-1 in the pros, as only the Atlanta Falcons spoiled my perfect week. I stand at 20-19 in the pros, but can now devote my full attention to them. Here goes: Lions -7 vs Vikings Saints -3 1/2 at Titans 49ers -3 1/2 at Cardinals

Nihilist Football Picks: Pro Week 13/College Conference Championships

2011-12-02T09:16:00.000-06:00

College football season is winding down, which is a shame because I'm performing fairly well there at 25-14 after going 2-1 last week. In the pros, I went 1-2 to move to 18-18. Since the Irish and Gophers have finished their regular season, I'll take on the major college championship games in the Big 10 and SEC plus an interesting Big 12 matchup, in addition to my normal slate of NFL games,
