Nobody ever said it was. But last time I checked we didn't give the Irish smallpox infected blankets so we could slaughter them and steal their land either so we could have our 'manifest destiny.'

I just wonder if the people that are for the Chief would be against, say Tony, the pasta eating mafioso goombah becoming our new mascot or how about Tipsy McStumble the drunken spud eating mick? Or as a speaker here at school a few years ago suggested as an applicable reference: The Fighting Jews and parade out a dancing concentration camp member. They are going to keep the name Fighting Illini but just get rid of Chief Dance-a-lot. And recently down here all the school clothes and stuff have had less and less stuff approved with the Chief logo on them so it's almost been phased out that way. Hell, even on a recent episode of Around the Horn f***ing Max Kellerman agreed that racial mascots have no place at institutions of higher learning.

This Thursday the Board of Trustees meets on campus in Urbana. On the agenda is a resolution but on by a Trustee that may remove the logo, dancing, and name of Chief Illiniwek from the University but keep the name 'Fighting Illini'. Anyway, I just wanted to see, since there are a lot of UIUC people on ST and former UIUC people what they thought about this. I personally have my opinion about it but I'll leave it out for now.

We gotta come to some new ideas about life. I'm not being blase about abortion; it might be a real issue and it might not...doesn't matter to me. What matters is that if you believe in the sanctity of life then you believe it for life of all ages. That's what I hate about this child worship syndrome going on. 'Save the children! They're killing children! How many children were at Waco? They're killing children!' What does that mean? They reach a certain age and they're off your f***ing love list? f*** your children if that's the way you think then f*** you too. You either love all people of all ages or you shut the f*** up. --Bill Hicks I personally think abortion rates would go down if decent sexual education was taught to our teenagers and we, as a society, could effectively get past the typically conservative Christian taboos on sex [even Reagan said 'sex was tinged with evil'] By showing how everything is done, providing *gasp* condoms and taking away the 'forbidden fruit' allure by laying everything sex is about on the table, responsible sexual education would decrease the need for abortion in the first place.

I found it funny that Darth Vader is the 1st base coach. And Harry Caray is a bench coach. This guy needs mental help...and fast.

Even worse than "Teens: What do you prefer?"

I prefer this one myself. I was laughing for a while after reading this.

I love the one that says she enjoys carpet bombings...and Huey says to change it to 'precision bombing' and they're like "Yeah, carpet bombing is soooo Kissinger."

Yeah, that sketch was f***ing great. Nice job Cali on making the reference, hahaha.

I'd say that to anybody who drank vodka that came out of a penis.

The NRA best be watching out... Fear DAVID ARQUETTE and N'SYNC!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/top10/03/133.html I dunno if you all check out Democratic Underground but I found some of these f***ing hysterical. My 2 favorites...along with the one that exposes Bush yet again for being a f***ing goddamn liar "Yeah sure the sailors put that giant banner up for you George." What do you do when your company is on the verge of bankruptcy? If you're L. Dennis Kozlowski, former head of Tyco, you spend two million dollars on a gigantic week-long birthday party for your wife in the middle of the Mediterranean. Jurors in Kozlowski's grand larceny trial saw 21 minutes of a four hour videotape last week, which featured Kozlowski welcoming partygoers to the island of Sardinia, along with "five young women in scanty, diaphanous frocks cavorting around a swimming pool, half-naked male models posing in snapshots with female guests and a performance from a pop star [Jimmy Buffett]." What the jurors didn't get to see apparently included "an anatomically correct ice sculpture of Michelangelo's 'David' urinating vodka," and, "two men dressed as ancient Romans carrying Kozlowski's wife over their heads." The clever part, see, is that Kozlowski managed to get Tyco to cover half the cost of the party because "Tyco business was taken care of as well." Presumably that was done while everyone was taking a break from cavorting and gang-banging. But you know, if there's one thing that makes me feel good about corporate America it's got to be the knowledge that while millions of Americans are losing their jobs, the top 1% are drinking vodka out of ice penises. Meanwhile, two preachers who were previously known for "fire and brimstone" sermons denouncing "fornicators," "whores" and "sodomites" are now better known as, well... fornicators, whores and sodomites up to their nuts in fire and brimstone. Rev. Hewart Lee Bennett and Rev. Stephen White were arrested recently for "soliciting sex with boys under the age of 16," according to gfn.com. Bennett apparently talked dirty to young boys online, but - get this - says he "only described sex acts to gain their trust and tell them about the love of Jesus." White, on the other hand, "approached an unidentified teen boy and asked if he knew of any adult shops in the area selling pornographic videos or magazines. After the boy told him he did not, White told the boy he could 'make some money' by letting White perform oral sex on him." Must be another one of those parables from that weird secret version of the Bible nutcase fundies carry around.

Murcie J...Hopefully you'll come back sometime. Your witty remarks will be missed. Murcie

I think the best part of the Halloween episode was when Homer became death and had to kill Marge...and then God lifts up the body and says "Wait...this is Selma!"

According to the original Pentagon plans, we should have had 500,000 troops in Iraq. We have 130,000. Over 25% of them do not have body armor and there have been lots of troops asking their family to buy them body armor and mail it to them. And a recent report about our wounded [we barely EVER hear about the wounded] show that 20% of them have serious brain injuries and approx 70% have injuries that could have complications that could result in brain damage. PNAC = Project for a New American Century It's definitely a very sad thing when 376 American troops have died, 2110 injured and approx. 37,000+ Iraqis have perished and we have yet to find one WMD to justify the war.

I just read in the newest issue of Playboy that Tupac released 5 albums while alive and posthumously he has released SEVEN more.

I read a report recently that a bunch the soldiers that rescued her have died. Petty Officer First Class David M. Tapper died of wounds received in Afghanistan. Lance Cpl. Sok Khak Ung was killed in a drive-by shooting. Spc Josh Daniel Speer died when his car went over an embankment for no apparent reason. There were no witnesses to this nor is it known why his car veered off the road. Kyle Edward Williams, who worked in the same company as Lynch, died of "suicide". He was found dead, shot, supposedly by one of the 7 guns he had on them. He left no note to explain the suicide or why he fired six shots at Noah P. Gamez, also 21, after spotting the man stealing an ice chest from his Jeep.

Notice I was kidding Suuuuuuuure.

Dude, it's goddamn candy.

Because David Hasselhoff played.
