Yes, Virginia, Once Upon A Time, Real Men Played Football

Via Traces of Texas, on Facebook: "Dandy" Don Meredith, quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, talks to reporters in the locker room following the famous "Ice Bowl" game against the Packers in Green Bay, Wisconsin, back in 1967. The game-time temperature at Lambeau Field was about -15 �F (-26 �C), with an average wind chill around -48 �F (-44 �C). It remains one of the most famous games in NFL history."  Yes, that is a cigarette he is smoking. And yes, that is real hair on his chest.  SportsDay writes: "[Bob] Lilly, A TCU graduate out of West Texas, unfamiliar with such brutal weather, suffered frostbitten fingers on his left hand in that game. His three mates on the defensive line that anchored Tom Landry's effective but quirky "Flex Defense" all suffered frostbite as well.  ...

Doctor Zero's "A prayer from the living world"

I first read this on Hot Air's "Green Room" shortly after Doctor Zero first posted it. Since then, it remains one of the best arguments against suicide that I've ever read. Doctor Zero's own blog doesn't exist any more, and the domain has been usurped by some commercial spammer.  The post in the Green Room doesn't exist any more and the link goes to something different.

17th Amendment: Why State-appointed Senators Were Better For America Than Elected Ones

The Seventeenth Amendment to the US Constitution changed the method by which Senators were selected. Bill Quick provides the simplest, best explanation for why the Founders' original method of populating the Senate was the wisest: "There is no leash on the Senate.  Originally, it was really supposed to represent the interests of the individual states, but the Wilsonian progressives managed to destroy that aspect of the body so, in fact, it doesn�t represent much of anybody.  Senators serve longer terms than members of any other branch.  Originally, this was intended to make the states, which appointed Senators, the most powerful force in the federal governance.  America, after all, started out to be a union of states, not of people.  And the self-interest of individual states worked to assure that the Senate wouldn�t go too far off the rails, because state pols were much less susceptible to political demagoguery than were individual voters.  Piss off your g...
