Are You Ready for Some Football?

Because my team, the Forty Niners, aren't. Neither apparently is Michigan. On the other hand, my co-guest blogger is surely happy.

Since I have control over this blog for a little while (and where is my co-guest blogger anyways?), I figure I ought to use it in my own self-interest. Towards that end, the Austin City Limits music festival is coming up soon, and, as usual, I only recognize a small portion of the bands playing.…
I've been trying to figure this out.  I don't think I need to include any links to the evidence, because it's all over the place.  Some people think there is a ridiculous amount of hysteria about H1N1/2009, others think people aren't worried enough.   It is abundantly clear that nobody can predict…
