DBD 12.2.10 RUSSELL WESTBROOK AHHHHHHHHH

PrintThere's no shame in barely missing a triple-double, especially when you have the kind of performance Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had in a triple-overtime win over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.
Westbrook's 35 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists made him the first player to at least reach those benchmarks this season. A check of Basketball-Reference.com shows he's one of only two guards to do that since 1990, Vince Carter being the other in 2006-07.
He scored all 13 of Oklahoma City's points in the third overtime and finished with 21 points combined after regulation.
I was at the game. Unfortunately, I don't remember the Vince Carter game. But during my time as a season ticket holder, I've missed Devin Harris' halfcourt buzzer beater:
Nets/Suns in Double OT (oh wait, that's the Vince Carter game):
and their first win after starting 0-18:
I did manage to make to loss 18. That was nice.
So I figure the combination of all of those is like missing the Nets' greatest hits of losses. (Although I did watch the last time the made it to the playoffs and lost. I seem to remember Vince dribbling the ball off his foot with something like 30 seconds left against the Cavs in game 6 in 2006.) But now I've got another memorable Nets loss to add to my I WAS THERE IN PERSON memory bank.
Anyway, I still hate Russell Westbrook.

if I had just played a running back in week 1
I would have won the whole thing. My team had the most points in both playoff weeks. Sweet.

I would’ve had like 40 more points if I’d played Montee Ball over Kendall Hunter in the last week.

Tell me, YF, has being a Cal fan helped you with being a Nets fan? Like knowing how to deal with constant misery and disappointment?

I always assumed it worked in the opposite direction, like watching Cal lose to SJ State made me feel weird rooting for actually good teams. This explains later interest in the New York Rangers (dead last the first year I followed them) and the Giants. It also explains the utter awesomeness of seeing teams finally reach the mountaintop. There will be rejoicing in Berkeley someday, and it will be f*ing epic.

Yeah, I’m thinking more along the same lines as well. But on the flip side, I can take literally any loss by Cal in stride. Like, oh, we gave up a touchdown with no time remaining and have no hope of bowl eligibility? That’s great, can someone pass me the gravy?

I hope one day to experience a wonderful catharsis regarding Cal football. However, I’m worried that like many Old Blues born in 1960 or later, my lifetime will have passed without a single Rose Bowl appearance, much less win.

My biggest worry now is what Bill Simmons was writing about yesterday in trying to convert his kids into being Boston fans:
I chose Clippers tickets over Lakers tickets because they were cheaper but also because I never had to worry about my kids getting sucked into the Clippers. Kids are front-runners. The Clippers are losers. Even a 5-year-old can smell that losing stink. You can’t miss it.
I mean, I really hope the Nets are definitively better than the Knicks by the time I have kids.

Giants Re-sign S&M Enthusiast Outfielder
Pat Burrell gets 1-year deal with SF Giants
Pat Burrell and the Giants have reached agreement on a one-year contract, The Chronicle has confirmed. The value was not immediately available. Burrell, 34, was a major contributor to the Giants’ championship and their everyday left fielder for most of the season after the team signed him following his release by Tampa Bay.
He is expected to be a role player and his salary probably will reflect that.
Burrell grew up in the Santa Cruz area and attended Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose before going to the University of Miami State Reform School.

Bear Cavalry extends record against Davis to 31-0
Down the UC Davis Aggies 74-62
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) – Freshman Gary Franklin shook off a two-game shooting slump and scored 13 points, Bak Bak came off the bench with career highs of 12 points and six rebounds and California beat UC Davis 74-62 on Wednesday night.
Franklin was 4-for-8 from the floor on Wednesday, making three 3-pointers. He had missed 21 of 26 shots in his last two games.
“He’s not going to have games like that all the time,” Golden Bears coach Mike Montgomery said. “You have to let the game come to you … and I thought he did a much better job of that. The shots he took were better shots. He was just patient with the game.”
Praise be to Bak Bak!

49ers QB Troy Smith discusses Offensive Game Plan
Shares secrets with media, Aaron Rodgers
The team looked fairly solid operating a heavy rushing attack against a fairly crappy Arizona Cardinals defense. They mixed things up a bit, but I honestly thought we were seeing a fairly similar offensive attack that just happened to finally find some success. Although the Packers rush defense has some question marks, it’s nowhere near as awful as the Cardinals.
The 49ers do need to establish the run to have success against the Packers, but is anybody else as concerned that we’ll see the team operating the same offense and just using Brian Westbrook and Anthony Dixon in the traditional Gore role? Even though they bring different skill-sets to the table, I fear we’ll just see the team hammering away with what they’ve done all season long. Maybe the o-line will gel and they’ll find success, but given how the season has gone, odds are not high that this will happen.
For all the folks who are thinking the loss of Gore is some kind of “blessing in disguise,” given how the season has gone thus far, am I missing something?

It’s a fucking joke.

The Qatar decision is confusing because Cal has more students than Qatar has citizens (a bit of a exaggeration) and they have no given much shit to futball so far.

I mean, I understand that we want to give every region of the world a chance to enjoy the world cup spot light, but we’re now giving the spotlight to an incredibly small country that caters to the super rich. It’s a gigantic FU to fans of actual soccer and it’s rewarding a country with some pretty messed up laws.

Cal students try to be "relevant"
Something about Coca-Cola negotiations
As campus officials continue to renegotiate the terms of UC Berkeley’s current beverage contract with Coca- Cola, students met Tuesday with a panel of contract negotiators, student government leaders and representatives from the campus Coalition for a Better Beverage Contract to ask for greater transparency and student involvement in future contract negotiations.
Students are concerned that their interests are not being represented in the campus beverage contract – through which Coca-Cola has attained a 98 percent virtual monopoly on campus – expiring in August. Contract negotiators include representatives from a four-unit campus consortium composed of the ASUC Auxiliary, Residential and Student Service Programs, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Recreational Sports Facility.
Citing their stake in the contract, students at the meeting demanded greater input in issues ranging from campus sustainability efforts to the corporation’s use of the campus brand in marketing campaigns and expressed frustration with negotiators’ failure to address their concerns.

No. 2 Bears Competing Against Pro Swimmers This Weekend
On Dec. 2-4, elite swimmers such as three-time Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte will compete alongside the nation’s top collegians at the 2010 AT&T Short Course National Championships at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.
But don’t think for one second that the No. 2Cal men’s swimming team is a fish out of water at this meet.
After all, Cal finished second at last year’s NCAA Championships – a feat unparalleled since 1986 – and captured three individual titles and four relay titles. Fifteen members from last year’s team return this year, 12 of whom will be racing this weekend.
It doesn’t hurt that the Bears boast their own Olympic gold medalist, senior Nathan Adrian, who slashes collegiate and world records faster than you can say, “The next Michael Phelps.”

The author, who has 35 years’ consulting experience, has taught at University of California Berkeley, where he was able to observe the culture and the way the senior management operates.

Youtube is blocked on my work computer, so when a bunch of youtube links are embedded in the DBD, they forever remain as “items remaining” in internet explorer.
This essentially prevents the DBD from loading new posts as they are posted, so I can only view new comments by refreshing and manually browsing them. This leads to embarassing situations where I post something that someone else posted ten minutes prior, but I couldn’t tell because my DBD doesn’t run in real time.

This time, it’s actual legit.

Cal Looks to Defend Title At Short Course Nationals
A year removed from winning the same event, the No. 5 Cal women’s swimming team looks to defend its title this weekend at the AT&T Short Course National Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
The Bears enter the weekend with a 2-1 duel meet record, including wins over Colorado State and Nevada. Cal’s only setback came at home against No. 3 Texas.
Coach Teri McKeever’s squad is coming off its strongest performance of the season. On Nov. 20, the Bears came in second at the Arena Invitational, trailing only No. 1 Stanford, who dominated the meet. Cal posted seven NCAA B qualifying times, giving them a total of 16 individual consideration times and four relay times on the year.
8
Daily Cal names the top ten albums of 2010, even though there's a whole month to go
I’ve heard of two of these albums – Thank Me Later (Drake) and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Fish Sticks/Kanye West)
MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY – Kanye West:
Also, full of the quality pseudo-intellectual goodness we’ve all come to expect from the Daily Cal:
At once prodigious music-maker and polarizing public figure, Kanye West bathes My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in glorious dichotomies. The album’s 68-minute running time offers a grand synthesis of West’s career as a recording artist: the bourgeois fortitude of The College Dropout, the sprawling opulence of Late Registration, the triumphal bombast of Graduation, the existential melancholy of 808s & Heartbreak. But the retreads into familiar territory only add to the beauty of the resulting product, an instantly memorable entry in the landscape of 21st century popular music.
Augmented by a cornucopia of producers, samples and guest artists, Dark Twisted Fantasy attains stunning heights. Take the terrific penultimate track “Lost in the World,” which begins with a lugubrious Bon Iver sample, swells to a rousing cry for vitality (“Lost in this plastic life / Let’s break out of this fake ass party / Turn this into a classic night”) and ends with an ode to escapism (“Run from the lights / Run from the night”). Like the other gems that highlight the album – “All of the Lights,” “Power,” “So Appalled,” “Runaway” and so on – its beauty lies in its human imperfection.

Heavy on the hippity hop – and as an old fart, I no longer believe that there’s much life in that genre.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
I am in a bit of a rut. I have a bunch of stuff that I’ve bought but not listened to. I mentioned Curren$y below, I believe I have previously enthused about Sleigh Bells, I liked Dansette Dansette with Tender Trap, Swim by Caribou. I am encouraged by first listens to Strange Waves by Dead Heart Bloom and the new Paul Weller album, and I also enjoyed – for the sake of nostalgia – the Cold Wave compilation album that was put out earlier this year.

Lies. There is TONS of life in that genre with plenty of new emerging talent out there.
That said, I think that list only has three hip hop albums, if you can even count Big Boi as hip hop.
8
That talent is plainly not making it onto the local radio. The only hip-hop album I bought this year was by Curren$y, which was okay.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
Are you not a Kanye West fan? His new album is growing on me.
Eminem’s album had a couple dope tracks. Kid Cudi’s “Man On the Moon II” is really good. Even Drake’s new one is good.
Although I suppose they pick the catchiest songs off these albums and overplay them on the radio, so the better tracks get more unnoticed.
8
I don’t have any feeling about Kanye West one way or the other. Maybe I’ll take a listen to the Kid Cudi album.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
I mean, it’s okay if you don’t like it. I just don’t like the sentiment of all hip hop sucking now. Sure, there are a lot of terrible rappers out there (Nicki Minaj) who are really popular, but it’s not dead.
8
I suffer from two problems: being old, and having started listening to hip hop from say 87 – 91. Not to say that there wasn’t a lot of crap being released then, but there was some standout stuff, and I wasn’t even that big a fan of some of the critics’ darlings like Erik B and Rakim and the like.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
It was steam powered.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
This is just an old fart talking, but in terms of impact to me, Tupac was a bit late. The early NWA releases were incredibly immediate and raw – sort of like hearing punk for the first time. By the time Tupac et al were recording, the novelty was gone.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
But Tupac’s lyrics!
I dunno, I guess if you see it as a novelty, as opposed to just being evolution of music, I can see your point.

Top album lists always seem silly to me. At least with movies and TV there’s a limited set of choices, so even if you disagree with somebody’s list you probably have a pretty good idea of what they’re talking about. There are so many albums in so many genres that it’s impossible for anybody to have any idea what ‘best’ is. So it’s a list of the obscure favorites of a random collection of writers.

I can agree with them if you stick with a specific genre, at the very least. Top ten hip hop albums (that have sold more than 200 copies) would be great.

Stuff about Carli Lloyd and MEagan Schmitt
Carli Lloyd and Meagan Schmitt, the lone seniors on the Cal volleyball team, were taking a walk on Sunday night, only hours after the NCAA tournament bracket was released.
The cool, crisp November air seemed to hint at the end of the season, the end of the year … but also the beginning of a new one.
Suddenly Schmitt stopped. She turned to her friend and roommate and asked her if she would be satisfied with getting to the final four, like they did as freshmen in 2007.
“Would that be enough for you?” she inquired.
Lloyd looked at her and answered with the intensity that has become her trademark quality in four years at Cal.

2010 Fall Sports Awards (Cal Edition)
Best Newcomer: Keenan Allen
(Honorable Mention: Emi Lawson)
The first time Keenan Allen touched the ball as a collegiate athlete, he cut along the sideline for 17 yards and a first down. The second was a 19-yard catch – another first down.
The fourth? Cal drew up a play for Allen to throw, but no one was open. The true freshman tucked the ball and reversed field for 18 yards. Touchdown.
As the Bears’ first five-star recruit since DeSean Jackson, Allen came in bearing great expectations – he was, after all, originally defending champion Alabama’s top recruit. With 490 yards receiving and 406 on kick returns, he’s lived up to the billing.
Jackson, as you likely know, is now one of the most devastating offensive weapons in the NFL. In January, he started in the Pro Bowl as both a wideout and a punt returner for the Philadelphia Eagles.

I am extraordinarily happy with the season we just had. Not the football season, obvs, but the season that the CGB team just put together. With the team working as a well-oiled machine, we easily and without much drama dropped post after post after post of, in my view, interesting, unique, and perfect to this community, front page content. Each front page author, each Marshawnthusiast, Jahvidtician, and Member of the Folletarrit, helped create great content quickly. The addition of the Hit Squad helped us focus on content creation, while keeping calm on the boards. And all of the Hit Squad members stepped up to assist with content creation duties.
Each author, mod, and reader of this site is going to have its own vision of what this site can become. In many ways this past season was about as close to my personal vision ofwhat this site can be as we’ve ever had. I hope that it was as close, also, to yours. Of course, if you ever have any thoughts, concers, or criticisms, you can email us privately or post it here in the DBD. We’re always happy to listen to our readers.
With the season behind us, the party doesn’t end, however. We havea lot of interesting and unique posts that are slotted and ready to go. The entirety of our content production team is ramping up to help build the community here with interesting posts. A lot of stuff we’ve been sitting on for a while, but couldn’t squeeze into the sked bc we had other focuses.
I hope you enjoy them as we careen helplessly towards basketball season proper. Thank you very much for your readership. GO BEARS!

But with the Sharks 2-3-2 in their last seven games we’ve got some more pressing in-house issues to address this morning.
So yeah. Heatley’s back in Ottawa. Moving on.
Coming from a man who has kept a pretty even keel over the first twenty-something games of this season, San Jose’s upcoming road trip is the first time where the Sharks inconsistency has really hit home with me. I feel like I just got sucker punched by Mike Tyson in the midst of a Phil Collins drum solo. I’m having trouble producing solid stools, my leisure money has spent an inordinate amount of time finding its way into the comfort food section at the local supermarket, and Augustus Griggs isn’t returning my phone calls. I’m lost out here in the great yonder, floating about like a ghost without a name.

Headline of the Day: Walmart Pleasure Seeker Barred From Retail Giant
The Florida man arrested after he was caught masturbating in the toy aisle of a Walmart with the aid of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has cut a plea deal that bars him from future visits to the retail giant "or any store where children’s toys are sold," court records show.
As part of a plea deal to indecent exposure and battery charges, William Tyler Black was sentenced to two years of community control, a more severe version of probation that often includes a curfew. Black, 28, will also be subjected to GPS monitoring, according to a Sarasota Circuit Court document that stipulates "no contact w/ Walmart."

This reminds me
I know somebody who is a police detective in another state, and he was telling me that as part of his job, he cruises parking lots with a license plate reader to see if there are any hits for stolen cars or outstanding warrants or anything like that. Well, the LP reader will also register a hit if the car belongs to a registered sex offender. He said when he went to the Wal-Mart parking lot, he couldn’t go down an aisle of the parking lot without getting at least 3 or 4 sex offender hits.

I had a client which was a chain of adult stores. I have reviewed many employee handbooks in my years as an attorney, but that was the only one which had a specific subsection on how to deal with customers found masturbating in the store aisles. Perhaps I should forward a copy of that policy to Walmart.

This kid won’t be screwed up or anything
A boozy moniker for Pink’s first baby?
While the pregnant pop singer told Access Hollywood that she may call her newborn Jameson, after her favorite whiskey, she is not the first celeb to choose a bizarre name for a child.
Actor Jason Lee famous dubbed his child Pilot Inspektor. Nicolas Cage’s son answers to the name Kal-El (that’s Superman’s real name). Magician/comedian Penn Jillette decided that Moxie Crimefighter would be fitting moniker for his baby girl.
Having an unusual name can be tough for a kid, says Dr. Monica Michell, attending psychiatrist at Lenox Hill Hospital.
“Being different from others in terms of a name makes it easier for a kid to get picked on and made fun of,” she says. “Unless, of course, he’s in a class of celebrities where they all have unusual names.”

Nobody likes Steve Martin!
That night, a conversation between Steve Martin, the writer and actor, and Deborah Solomon, who writes a weekly interview column for The New York Times Magazine, resulted in the Y’s sending out a next-day apology, along with a promise of a refund.
Mr. Martin, in Miami for a book event, said in an e-mail on Wednesday that Ms. Solomon "is an outstanding interviewer," adding that "we have appeared together before in Washington, D.C., in a similar circumstance to great success."
But Sol Adler, the Y’s executive director, saw it differently. "We acknowledge that last night’s event with Steve Martin did not meet the standard of excellence that you have come to expect from 92nd St. Y," he wrote in an e-mail to ticket holders. "We planned for a more comprehensive discussion and we, too, were disappointed with the evening. We will be mailing you a $50 certificate for each ticket you purchased to last night’s event. The gift certificate can be used toward future 92Y events, pending availability."
The author, who has 35 years’ consulting experience, has taught at University of California Berkeley, where he was able to observe the culture and the way the senior management operates.

Mr. Martin said he was taken aback by the Y’s response, describing it as "discourteous" and adding, "It seemed to me that a consultation was at least in order.
"As for the Y’s standard of excellence, it can’t be that high because this is the second time I’ve appeared there."

Wilner on QB’s:
* Maynard, the half-brother of Keenan Allen, is grayshirting this fall. "(He) will finish up some schoolwork and hopefully be here in springtime to join in that competition," Tedford said.
He’s a run-pass threat who rushed for 455 yards at Buffalo in ‘09. If he gives the Bears the best chance to win, will they become an option team to make optimal use of his skills? Or will they try to fit him into the current offensive structure?
Cal has never been an option team in the Tedford era. But offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig has the option in his background from his time at Utah. (This assumes Ludwig returns as OC.)
* Bridgford has shoulder surgery last winter, missed spring ball and didn’t play this fall — and that followed a redshirt year. In effect, he’ll be a third-year sophomore with no relevant experience.
* Hinder, who redshirted this fall, is big (6-5) and mobile but skinny. He reportedly had offers from Alabama, Notre Dame and Stanford coming out of high school in Steamboat Springs — which is not exactly CIF Southern Section Pac-5 in terms of competition. How long will the transition take?
* Boehm, a senior at San Jose Archbishop Mitty, has committed to Cal and is expected to sign in February. He reportedly has scholarship offers from Washington, Oregon State and ASU and a half dozen other schools.
* I’d be mildly surprised if Mansion isn’t the Week One starter given his edge in experience (in Cal’s system) over everyone but Sweeney, who couldn’t hold down the backup job this fall.
It’s rare for an underclassman to beat out a senior with starting experience, unless that underclassman is, say, Andrew Luck.
* But there will be a ton riding on Tedford/Ludwig’s decision — not one season but two, in effect.
Because if they pick Mansion and stick with Mansion and he’s merely average, then they’ll have wasted next season and will be forced to play a rookie in 2012.
Thoughts?
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
Saw Maynard play on several weekday nights on espn when he was QB for buffalo last year.
1) Tall and lanky like Kaepernick but he can run, he is only 6’3ish. Oh yeah he is left handed.
2) Can throw the deep ball if needed.
3) Somewhat accurate on short passes.
4) He needs to beef up if he is gonna play pac-10 ball. MAC defenses are not exactly 300+ pound d-linemen.

Interesting facts about Qatar
It also looks like Michigan. Unlike Michigan, Qatar has resources like money and money and more money. The money wells of Qatar are its only resource, but it’s a pretty nice one to have, even though they and their swift deposits directly into Sepp Blatter’s bank account have nothing to do with them getting the World Cup. They also have oil, but whatever, bottomless oil wells spouting mineral wealth into the air.

Mars Surprisingly Named Host of the 2022 World Cup
FIFA shocked many today by giving the 2022 World Cup to the planet Mars over favorites the United States and Qatar.
"I really thought we had the best bid," said former President Bill Clinton, who led the U.S. final presentation. "And I thought the Qataris did well, too. The World Cup going to a non-world host was a bit of a surprise."
Mars did not even submit a formal bid for the World Cup, but it is believed many of the FIFA voters expect to be rewarded with extra-terrestrial powers and luxury spaceships by delivering the tournament to our solar system neighbor.

Here is USC student, licensed NFLPA agent and "born negotiator" Teague Egan – aka the dude who took Trojan RB Dillon Baxter on a suspension-worthy golf cart ride – showing off his apartment on "Campus Cribs." The video is self-explanatory. The "crib" is impressive, if you’re ostentatious date-rape dens, but let’s see him ring up "the Viper" on speed dial. This kid will be Drew Rosenhaus in ten years, if he doesn’t destroy the USC football program in the process.
If interested, here he is partying with former USC and current Louisville linebacker Jordan Campbell on a yacht, presumably not Campbell’s. Campbell is also a "founding father" of his company "1st Round." Dont want to know what’s going on in this picture, but now we know why he needed such a big television.

“Tron: Legacy features cinema’s most boring genocide.”
A gigantic, expensive light show. That’s what you get from Tron: Legacy, cued to one of the best scores of the last ten years. That may not be what anyone wants out of Tron: Legacy, but then what does anyone want out of a Tron sequel? For Disney, this is meant to be a standalone adventure. To be fair, it really doesn’t matter if you’re familiar with the original or not, but this is a balls-to-bone sequel to the original.

We interrupt this DBD to bring you great news
And to think, this is supposed to be the easy part of the schedule. Indiana, Memphis, Houston… we assumed, not irrationally, that this stretch would be an assembly line of uncomplicated wins for the Lakers before playdates with the league’s heavy hitters in late December. If that fantasy wasn’t fully dispelled after last night’s loss in Memphis, it certainly is now. The gold and purple fell again tonight, this time by a score of 99 to 109 to the injury-ravaged Houston Rockets. It’s the fourth straight disheartening loss for the champs. I hope you’ll forgive me for being the 37th person to tell you that this is the Lakers’ first four-game losing streak in the Pau Gasol era.
So welcome to unfamiliar territory, Laker fans! Last time we sank to these depths, Kwame Brown and Smush Parker were prominently involved in our lives. You know things are serious when I’m invoking those unholiest of names.
Honestly, I don’t have it in me to walk through tonight’s catastrophe chronologically. I’d rather have a lit cigarette put out on my genitals. Instead, I’ll just review the particular failings that contributed to the great big eye-watering cavalcade of FAIL the Lakers staged in Houston. All of these factors have shown up before at one point or another in the losing streak, and most have shown up frequently. Hold your nose and join me after the jump.

Qatar’s victory in the race to be awarded the 2022 World Cup was a triumph for spin over substance and leaves a black mark on FIFA’s already-besmirched name.
In the hours after Thursday’s announcement in Zurich, soccer’s governing body attempted to laud its decision as a bold step into new territory, a choice rich in foresight and legacy and adventurous spirit. In reality, it is perhaps the greatest folly of an organization that is so messed up that it can’t help but tarnish its reputation further with boneheaded decisions made for all the wrong reasons.

Biggest game in Washington history
SPOKANE, Wash. — Washington State coach Paul Wulff is aware that questions about his future with the struggling Cougars are among the subplots surrounding this year’s Apple Cup.
Wulff said he is not consumed by the debate.
“My faith is what leads my life,” said Wulff, who has gone 5-31 in three seasons at Washington State, with just two Pac-10 wins. “I am content in who I am and what we are doing.”
His supporters say the Cougars (2-9, 1-7 Pac-10) are unquestionably better than when he took over a decimated program from Bill Doba in 2008. Critics contend progress is measured in wins.

Well, in fairness, the estate tax threshhold will only hit about the richest 2%. The Republican analysis estimates that 50,000 families a year will owe estate tax at the $1M threshhold (I find that number astonishingly low, but it comes from a bi-partisan analysis, so maybe not) out of 2.4M who die each year.
Sure, but when it hits, as DC Trojan said, it hits very hard, and for people who have something like a family farm or sole proprietorship business that is kind of a bad thing. An unexpected death on 1/1 will be a disaster, while what they are fighting over is going to be a blip in the withholding schedule.
It’s also hard to do meaningful estate planning without knowing what the damned limit is.
For the record I think the estate tax should be increased and income/sales/whatever taxes decreased, but that level of tax policy determination is so far off the table in Washington I don’t know how to describe it.

Yes but Sarah Palin says we should earn all our money by hard work and responsibility. Since inheriting anything would be counter to that shouldn’t the estate tax be 100%?
I just wanted to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
That’s part of the argument indeed. Of course, part of goosing the estate tax would be dumping the corporate tax and all those tasty tricks and goofy depreciation schedules that help those folks get around the estate tax in the first place. How would amusement parks be able to expense land the year they acquire it, for example?
But the real target on the other side of the equation would be sales taxes, and then income taxes. So it would take a big re-jiggering of local taxation too and thus even if it ever were interesting at the federal level the states wouldn’t implement it right (our state being the prime example of gridlock).

I don’t mind lowering taxes (on lower levels of income) and extending unemployment benefits in the short term. The economy needs it. The debt/deficit are problem that I’d like to see addressed in the long term, though.

Part of the challenge is that below a certain level, it’s not income tax, it’s payroll tax or whatever you call FICA now. Phasing that out for the working poor would be as politically problematic as implementing means testing for affluent retirees.

LeBron is returning to Cleveland tonight
Everyone’s making a big deal out of it, as if they believe the man will get lynched tonight. Media, you disappoint me again.
I expect a lot of booing and another Heat loss, and everyone will rejoice.

Usually they people go on TV and either they are or aren’t asswipes, but it’s incidental. Lebron went on TV with the express purpose of not only being an asswipe, but celebrating his asswipeness in front of the nation and the hometown he supposedly cared for.

I need to make an announcement
Some of your favorite CGBers (+Rishi) will be congregating for beverages at the glad hour of 430p PST tomorrow. All are welcome. Rickhouse on Kearney.
Look for a group that will include a feathered individual who will likely be looking over his shoulder as if he were being hunted, a swank chickie likely wearing a hot pair of red-soled CLs, an infinitely californian dude, rishi, and a giant jawline.
Fire Starkey. You... complete me.

A friend fo mine who I have known since college, well before the start of this damnable website (but who reads), just texted me today and referred to me as Twist. MY WORLDS ARE COLLIDING! MY WORLDS ARE COLLIDNG!

What else would he call you? Mr. NHook?
"Save that for the girl chat rooms. No here cares that you are sentimental and sweet. Jose [sic] already passed on you, Dodger SF is having a mid 20’s relationship crisis living in a town where she can’t love anyone because they are either gay or Giant fans, Maddz is stuck in Theology hell, and Teal is married. Not sure what is up with Connector. And my nieces are off limits. Sporky hates you because you adorn the cover of Jon’s book."
When CBKWit and I discuss you I call you “Twist” but he calls you something else and I’m pretty sure it’s not your birth name.
Today's the day the California Golden Bears have their picnic.
But my birth name was “Fuck Nut.” I had it legally changed back in Aught Two.
