Who are they going to kick around now?

I was wondering who the left is going to kick around now that George W. Bush is out of office? This is remotely funny.

Don't we have better things to do?

Now we have the state legislature in North Dakota attempting to write bills that NDSU and UND play each year in football. Don't these people have something better to do, your waisting out tax dollars arguing petty bills. Get back to work doing the people of North Dakota business. I believe this is an issue for the two schools to work on without interference from the state legislature. In the end I believe this bill will fail.

Bill would require NDSU and UND to play an annual football game
Kevin Fee Grand Forks Herald

The state is trying to get involved in the UND vs. North Dakota State rivalry.

Rep. Weezie Potter, D-Grand Forks, has introduced a bill in the North Dakota House that mandates that UND and NDSU play an annual football game.

The schools haven’t met since Oct. 18, 2003, when the Sioux defeated the Bison 28-21 in overtime in the Alerus Center in Grand Forks.

The stoppage of the rivalry, which began in 1894, was mostly due to NDSU moving its sports programs to NCAA Division I to start the 2004-05 school year. But UND joined the Bison in Division I this school year.

Tulane study

I got this email from my wife. I hope this wasn't intended to be some kind of a message to me.

A study worth sharing with friends both male and female:

A study conducted by Tulane's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire.

No further studies are expected

Jack Bauer is back.

My favorite show "24" is back and wouldn't you know it the last 15 minutes of the two hour show and the connection to Fox went blank. So I guess I got the first 1:45 of season 7. Don't worry I will check into night to catch the next two hours.

What about Norse?

With the Fighting Sioux logo debate up front and center with the dust up from the Summit league’s decision to not consider UND until the nickname issue is behind it.

As well all know this is should not be an issue because UND has to change their name/logo if the University can not get approval by both tribes. The issue is not going away and its time to consider the inevitable. Life without the Fighting Sioux nick name and logo. like I have said in the past the name is gone there is no way we can fight off political correctness gone amuck. It is just a matter of time before the name is gone for good.

I an not happy with the fact that there will no longer be a Fighting Sioux name/logo connected to the University of North Dakota. I have made my feeling known, I am on record of being against this change, this is a train we can not stop. I like a lot of fans are tired of fighting the battle with the people in the pro-name change crowd. The cards are against us and we can not win.

Maybe it is time to consider some new names to replace the Fighting Sioux with. My suggestion is Norse. Why not? North Dakota and Minnesota have one of the biggest populations of people of Scandinavian decent in the USA.

Funny Picture.

This is one of the funnier pictures that I have run across lately.

Minnesota lawmaker to push for restricting lead bullets

Doug Leir said this was coming and the left is trying to now ban lead bullets. This is what happens when you let liberalism go unchecked. How many of us have been eating deer that we have shot with lead bullets for years. None of us have had any issues with lead poisoning. This sounds like someone making an observation without any evidence to back it up. Unless this person watched the eagle eat a gut pile from a deer and observe it over time how the hell would they know this? Liberal Skippy's.

MOORHEAD — Beth Siverhus has hunted deer since 1976, and for the first time next year, she plans to use copper-coated bullets instead of lead.

That’s because the Warroad, Minn., woman also spends time rehabilitating injured birds and, in the plast year, observed several eagles die from lead poisoning. She believes they likely ingested the lead while eating piles of deer guts left in the woods by hunters.

“It’s a pretty sick feeling to realize I could have been doing something to both contaminate the food we eat and make wildlife sick that are feeding on the gut piles,” Siverhus told Minnesota Public Radio News.

Siverhus said she hadn’t previously worried much about reports of lead fragments in venison, which led some Minnesota food shelves to ban venison donations.
