I am currently traveling for work, which is why I have't been around here this week. It's also why it slipped my mind that I needed to write a blog this morning. So if anyone feels inspired to post anything - please do, and then merge this lame blog stub in.

TiVo has brought on Tim Tebow as a spokesnut. They'll give $1 for every new TiVo facecrack fan to the Tim Tebow Foundation. I'd rather they give $100 for each Tebow interception or fumble, but that's just me.
And to add to the Manning Hatred Front, part of the reason Peyton Manning is joining with Papa Asshole to give away 2 million round pieces of cardboard is that he owns 20+ Papa Johns restaurants in the Denver area.
Let's see.....Papa Manning thinks that just because he suffered through a team so bad its fans had to wear bags on their heads that the NFL draft rules didn't apply to his sons, and now Peyton franchises an asshole's restaurants. So far the only thing I can say bad about Eli is that he's too damn good (and lucky) in the 4th quarter.

WODS (Boston) has started playing holiday music.
Fortunately, the store has not, but I expect it this weekend.
Aside - I wish the stations that flip format to Holiday music would play it from Thanksgiving to New Year's, instead of Veteran's day to Xmas day.
I might want to listen to some of that "in between", but they pull the plug on xmas pretty damn quick.

Wait a minute... WTF is this? What think tank was this?
Prominent members of conservative, Washington-based defense think tanks were given permanent office space at his headquarters and access to military aircraft to tour the battlefield. They provided advice to field commanders that sometimes conflicted with orders the commanders were getting from their immediate bosses.
Some of Petraeus’s staff officers said he and the American mission in Afghanistan benefited from the broader array of viewpoints, but others complained that the outsiders were a distraction, the price of his growing fame.

Signed! They are ruminated about having a bi-partisan committee to look into the "problems with the election." Um the problems with the election are are pretty simple, go back to the fair, equitable format for early voting that has worked well for the past 10 years. When you are caught red handed, don't dig your dickish heels in and say no, I'm not going to extend early voting and blame it on the length of the ballot (because of all the ruinous Republican legislator sponsored constitutional amendments) and generally be a total dick.

Good morning, bloggers!
Well, my interview for a maternity leave sub position got moved to Friday. So, now I need to decide: to wear a suit to the holiday job interview or to not wear a suit?
As for the affair du jour, I am curious only if there were any problems with national security. Mind you, no one is looking very well in this mess.

I suppose child rape when performed by a priest isn't that big a deal in Ireland either.

I recall there being a big scandal in Ireland sometime ago on priests abusing children and the hierarchy covering it up.

The amount of fail here is astronomical. Susan Rice is -- according to John McCain: Not Very Bright.

I think that Harry Reid needs to severely alter the filibuster rules. My advice is to put Susan Rice in and nominate a ton of judges.
Also, McCain wanted us to antagonize Russia over their problems with the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. So, I really don't think that McCain has much room to speak on foreign policy.

I believe that in both cases SCOTUS has said that just the opposite. Rep.Goodlatte doesn't grasp the basic concept of judicial review; when the Supremes say that something passes muster, it is constitutional.

Yes, I do. And he has a cat too. It's a black cat which has more of the predatory instinct since she has killed a few critters outside the house. Hasn't warmed up to me yet, but has meowed when she wanted to be let out (she's usually standing right by the door).

First and foremost...we're still a service organization.
As we all know NY and NJ have been adversely affected by Hurricane Sandy. And we, like many of you have been looking for a way to help impact the recovery effort. Well, we have made a solid connection down on the Jersey Shore and we are now taking a group of both youth and adults to help with tree, debris, and trash removal.
We will be driving down to the Jersey Shore on Friday, November 30th, doing a day of Service onSaturday, December 1st, and driving home on Sunday, December 2nd. This is a Great service project thatcan be used for School, Religious, and Scout service hours. Not to mention the Great feeling of helping out those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Obviously, many people will not be able to make the trek to New Jersey with us, although you can still greatly impact this trip by donating money and in kind supplies. Any donation is Greatly appreciated!

Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert may be in trouble. From the Chicago Tribune:
Yes, he did lose a lot of weight.
Hastert used government office for private business
Former speaker's taxpayer-paid secretary coordinated meetings, conducted research on proposed venture
By Katherine Skiba and Todd Lighty, Chicago Tribune reporters
November 14, 2012
Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has conducted private business ventures through a little-known government office that has cost taxpayers about $1.8 million, a Tribune investigation has found.
Federal law allows former House speakers to maintain a government-financed office for up to five years to wind down matters relating to their tenure. They are not permitted to use the office for financial gain.
But the Tribune found that a secretary in the ex-speaker's government office used email to coordinate some of his private business meetings and travel, and conducted research on one proposed venture. A suburban Chicago businessman who was involved in the business ventures with Hastert said he met with Hastert at least three times in the government office to discuss the projects.
A government watchdog group, told of the Tribune's findings, called for an ethics investigation into Hastert's use of the Office of the Former Speaker in west suburban Yorkville.
Yes, he did lose a lot of weight.

FBI dude is discovered. Turns out he killed a guy.
YAY, FBI.
I feel so much safer now.
In May 2010, after he had moved to the Tampa field office, Mr. Humphries was attacked outside the gate of MacDill Air Force Base by a disturbed knife-wielding man. He fatally shot the man, and the shooting was later ruled to be an appropriate use of force, according to bureau records and colleagues.
Two former law enforcement colleagues said Mr. Humphries was a solid agent with experience in counterterrorism, conservative political views and a reputation for aggressiveness.
“Fred is a passionate kind of guy,†said one former colleague. “He’s kind of an obsessive type. If he locked his teeth onto something, he’d be a bulldog.â€
YAY, FBI.
