    http://www.utk.edu/tntoday/2012/04/18/pat-summitt-named-head-coach-emeritus/ Officially, she's now Head Coach Emeritus. Sad day for college basketball. I have a lot of respect for her accomplishments, even though I've done my share of hating on her for being the coach of a conference rival...

    Worse than Bush Part XXXVI: Obama's War On Pot

    Change we can believe in: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss: I used to hate the Republicans because they were puppets of the rich and powerful and they wanted to control every aspect of your personal life. Thanks to Obama, we're in a Bizarro World where the Democrats are even worse...

    We have joke names like Ben Dover (bend over), Pete Moss (peat moss), all the names Bart asks for when he calls Moe's, etc. I'm sure Spanish, French, German, etc. have similar names that can be made, so what are the funniest ones? (Post the innocent ones in the thread--to avoid infractions or...

    Australian Politics Question

    I noticed during the election thread that the major parties are Labour and Liberal Democrats. That sounds like two liberal parties. What's the difference between the two? I would assume one would have to be the conservative party within the system or people wouldn't bother having two parties.
