Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

How many bands did Delaware get? Doesn't it seem like there were a bunch? How come they get to bogart the parade?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is Ray Nagin a Mayor? Because there's some big Mayors meeting/delegation in DC right now.

Yeah, he's the mayor of New Orleans.

Anyone notice anything wrong with this paragraph?

I assume they got their units wrong.

I knew about the Mayor thing because I saw the SF Mayor on MSNBC this morning.

What is even happening?

But I disagree with many of you about his statement. "I hope he fails" isn't evil. It's not laudable. It's not respectable. But it's honest. I believe, deep down, Rush hopes Barack and any vestige of what he derisively terms, liberalism, fails. I won't condemn him for saying it aloud.

When we invaded Iraq, some part of me hoped we wouldn't find WMD. The evidence was so flimsy, the reasons for invasion so questionable, that I didn't want W to be right. I just didn't. Yes, it cost numerous innocent lives, and had they found WMD those lives wouldn't have been lost in vain, yet part of me still hoped they'd fail.

I don't want to say it's evil or not, but I can say I think it's wrong-headed. We're in a mess. I want something and healthy and right to fix it. If I have been attracted to and/or holding onto the wrong ideologies, and someone tries something I'm against in theory and it works and it's good, I'll be glad of it -- not mad that it worked -- and not hoping against hope that it fails.

And I was the same way when we invaded Iraq in 2003. I thought we were wrong to do so, but I hoped that we would be proven right. I love my country more than I hate Republican ideology.

Only three that I saw - UofD, Del State, and my Tigers. Don't be a hater, quester! I think this is the third inaugural parade for my HS band, and they've been in the Rose Parade several times. They rock.

t /end bragging about a band I haven't seen perform in 20-odd years

And, look, there's a band from Maine.

hip deep in pie

For a second, I thought this band was playing, "Yes We Have No Bananas"

I don't hate Delaware! I'm just wondering how they go three bands and Hawaii got one?
