his speech was funny, but odd. remember, he’s an entertainer, and that is why he was brought there.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:03 AM
That Clint Eastwood speech was comedic gold. Can he win an Emmy for that performance?

August 31st, 2012 at 8:09 AM
Saukerlina was terrible. No offensive weapons at all, I mean Vandy is scrappy but that defense is bad. Looking forward to MSU/Potato tonight.
Early roundup is always appreciated.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:09 AM
Ya, Obama, stop talking about student loans. Nice zing Clint.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:13 AM
Shows how out of touch GOP is.
They were pissed Clint did a car commercial on GM’s recovery in Super Bowl and thought they could grab that magic at the convention.
Should have Clint pull his .45 out at end and start shooting chair, would have been biggest cheer in GOP history.

Some subhuman scheduled a massive conference call this afternoon from 3-5. The level of stones and sheer dickheadness it takes to do something like that is simply not measurable.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:23 AM
Guess the talk about the SEC being really deep starts early this year. Obviously SC has an amazing offense, it was just the super speed of the Vandy defense that slowed them down. Right?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 AM
Nice of Morning Joe to want openness, and deep topics. Now, that dead intern he was banging? Well, no questions about that, obviously. Fraud.

August 31st, 2012 at 8:36 AM
So we’re still angry at rich folks today?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:37 AM
I felt sorry for Eastwood while watching that speech. He’s way past his prime as a live speaker, should be in a old folks home.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:37 AM
The host of morning joe was murping his intern, she had been missing for 6 weeks.

August 31st, 2012 at 8:39 AM
i can’t believe people are talking like Clint Eastwood’s speech matters. It was meant to entertain. Barry had a nice retort on Twitter.

Clint Dempsey turns down £7m deal to move to Aston Villa. Holding out for Liverpool, who probably don’t want to pay him. Hope he doesn’t get stuck playing with the reserves now after screwing over Fulham.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:44 AM
I got a guy in my carpool that said back in April that a Obama win was a given. He even stated “I will drive for a whole month in the carpool if he loses”. Boy, I would like to see that happen and save on a little gas money, plus the ribbing he would take for an entire month of driving would be insufferable for him.

Oh, so Joe Scarborough’s former intern died many years ago. Also, he apparently murdered her?

August 31st, 2012 at 8:46 AM
9/11 ended the investigation. The Washington dudes used to say that Joe was the only guy who breathed a sigh of relief when 9/11 happened. The intern died when she fainted and hit her head on the corner of his desk, while alone in his office. Sure, that sounds about right.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:46 AM
Glad I didn’t even watch any of the speeches last night, was watching SC-Vandy and then doing the draft with a bunch of you here.

/Yardwork’d
August 31st, 2012 at 8:52 AM
The back judge needs to sit a couple games. A obvious grab of the arm on Vandy’s fourth down play. Not that they’d have scored – they semed to be 3-and-out, 3-and-out, 3-and-out, lucky play for a score, 3-and-out, but they didn’t get a chance thanks to a bad no-call.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:52 AM

Serious question. Do you even listen to Limbaugh or Hannity (Beck is a loon)? Or do you just take left wing media’s word for it.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:57 AM
Because I’ve never heard of the story (that a US Representative killed his intern) led me to such a quick conclusion. That, and the fact that you believe it to be true.

ImJustSayin:
I am not a liberal. I’m an apathetic, fed-up unaffiliated. I dont watch news/political TV anymore. Ive listened to plenty of Hannity and Limbaugh over the years and my dad listens/watches regularly. on both sides, they are all trolling for ratings. There is no real interest in providing great, intelligent discussion.
But you can keep up with the tired, lazy right-wing cliche of “have you actually ever listened to them?” It’s what idiotic sycophants say when they refuse to admit that their side is just as flawed. Quit with the victim mentality. Fox NEws is just as guilty of being race-baiting assholes.

Just to clarify, skanks and/or 5 star nasties are usually the ones that are doling out the handies. I should’ve specified grilling and BBQ though. One shouldn’t assume (which I did) that those events go hand in hand with football and beer.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:05 AM
SC as a title contender is ridiculous (they cant throw the ball), but Vandy is feisty at home. They almost took down Arky and UGA last year.

Soon, Italian giants will be losing marquee players to the Hungarian 2nd division. Is Serie A down for the count? In my lifetime, I don’t think I’ve ever seen italian football be so lower in importance. Yes, I know Inter won the Champions League just 2 years ago. But I don’t see how Italy can regularly send 2-3 teams to either quarter-final or the semi-final of Champions League like they used to do 10 years ago. It seems like even big clubs in Italy have turned into feeder for richer clubs in England, Spain, Germany, and the final insult to injury, France.

When Biden is talking to an empty chair on tv or he has a cabinet that has a faux daily briefing with him 9 in the morning while they have their secret one 5AM where they decide how they’re going to run the country, then I’ll agree with you. At that point, mildly retarded will be an improvement.

I don’t think SC are title contenders due to the hurdles they have to jump with that schedule, but last night should be (and wasn’t) any indication that they don’t have a legitimate shot. A smother defense that allowed a couple of big plays to a scrappy team in their own backyard. I think the passing game will develop, assuming Shaw stays healthy, and they’re looking at another possible 10-2 season. And if you are capable of winning that many games, catching a few breaks might make it 11-1 real easy.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:19 AM
Joe Biden is a great example of, if you’re around long enough, and end up in the right situation, people might actually mistake age for competence.

I think it’s going to come down to matchups on the line, Bama’s DEF is gonna have some new faces and they are going to try and take the lateral movements away from Denard across the front. I expect some misdirection from them and Bama will have to adjust during the game. I think Bama’s OFF line is stout and I think the control the line of scrimmage. Still closer game than the Bettors are indicating (Bama -14).

I live within walking distance of the Vienna station, so it was a no-brainer for me. Parking for the Zoo is $16, and I imagine they fill up quickly on holidays such as Labor Day Weekend. The only downside is that the Zoo is literally right in the middle of the Cleveland Park/Woodley Park stops on the red line, so it will be about a mile walk from either station. Here’s a map if you want to try and map out your day…

Like Stephen Colbert once said (paraphrasing): “reality has liberal bias.”

Thought the Archives & Air & Space are involved. If so, you want the green/yellow. Green/yellow is also better for Air&Space (actually, L’Enfant is, but that’s a pain to navigate).
This is how i’d do it:
Park in Cleveland Park/Van Ness area.
Walk to zoo (metro if parking in Van Ness).
Metro to Gallery Place – transfer to green/yellow line
Take Green/Yellow to Achives
See the founding documents
Walk (almost directly)across the Mall to the Air & Space.
See planes
Get on Blue line (L’Enfant or Smithsoinian if you want to walk) to Metro Center – transfer to Red Line
Red Line to where you parked.

Here’s the Goolgle Map of the Mall. Note you’ll be walking more from the Smithsoinan stop. There are also lots of people in that area (i try and avoid people).
You’ll need to remember the metro trains are named by the last stop in the direction of travel. For example, from where you’ll be parking, the Red Line is Glenmont towards the Mall, Shady Grove (sometimes Silver Spring) back.
