First TMQ of the new season. What can we say: we’ve got high hopes.

After the jump, oops, there goes another rubber tree plant…

…than insurrectionist music and cheesy ’80s videos?

The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld lower court decisions, and has refused to reinstate Ward Churchill as a professor at the University of Colorado.

“The Colorado State Supreme Court spends 55 pages saying the regents are above the law,” said David A. Lane, Mr. Churchill’s lawyer. “Regents at universities all over the country should feel emboldened to feel free to violate the First Amendment any time they want, as long as there is some sham due process that is given before they do it.”

Bitter much?

More from the Denver Post. Churchill background here.

Your loser update: week 1, 2012.

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

We are back, baby! Like that toenail fungus you just can’t get rid of.

NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:

New York Football Giants
Indianapolis
Cleveland
St. Louis
Miami
Kansas City
Jacksonville
New Orleans
Buffalo
Tennessee
Carolina
Green Bay
Seattle
Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
Oakland

And as we draw ever closer to the end of the long national nightmare that is baseball season, the Houston Astros are 44-97, with a .312 winning percentage. This projects out to 111 losses.

(As best as I can tell, the Astros have been mathematically eliminated from any possibility of post-season play. The Chicago Cubs have an extremely long shot at a wild card slot, still. I don’t think this is going to happen, but they haven’t technically been mathematically eliminated, so I don’t have to pay off Lawrence. Yet.)
