Huskies Stink, But WSU Stinks Worse

My Washington Huskies are defeated (as opposed to undefeated) this season at 0-6, but the good news is that our cross-state rivals the Washington State Cougars are even worse.‚  I watched the USC Condoms absolutely trounce the awful Cougs today.‚  USC scored touchdowns on 11 of 13 drives and couuld have scored ten more if they wanted to.‚ … read more “Huskies Stink, But WSU Stinks Worse”

My guess is that it may be temporarily nearing the end of its decline (my guess is it will bottom out between 7000-8000 points)… but if foreign countries start pulling their money out of US markets, I think up to half of our economy will die.‚ … read more “Death Stalks Wall Street”
