1. Did Tony Romo save Army Staff Sgt. Brian Redding’s life, or did these events play out with some Guillermo Arriaga-style fateful happenstance? The soldier bet a dollar that the Cowboys would beat the Colts, which he won. Then he dropped that dollar, and when he went bent over to pick up the bill, he inadvertently dodged a bullet. You decide.
2. I don’t really have the energy to get all excited about First Baptist pastor Robert Jeffress’ Grinch Alert website. To me, it just feels tacky. But the fact that we are talking about it raises a question: has Jeffress used the holiday to remind us of the Gospel or himself?
3. This debate over the value of the straight-party vote on election ballots is yet another reminder that, in light of our new Tea Party-era, The Federalist Papers needs to be on the top of your holiday reading list.

Don’t you mean Kitna? Unless you’re presuming had Romo played, they would have lost. Not a bad presumption, but Kitna should be credited for the save. Both.
I think you should credit Peyton Manning…he kept throwing those interceptions to our defenders…that’s what won that game for the Cowboys.
@CowboysFanSorta: Yeah. Re-reading the story, it is really odd. I thought he made the bet with Romo, who wasn’t playing, but none of that is clear in the piece. So basically, the guy just dropped a buck. Romo had nothing to do with it. Kitna? Sorta.
Wha-ha? The whole story revolves around the Cowboys/Colts game from 2006 … not the one from two Sundays ago.
Remember kids, reading is fundamental.
Yeah, WTF, sounds like this could help:

The video clip, funny stuff. It prompted the following question:
“Is our children learning?”
Yes, in fact, as a notable politician as assured us, “Childrens do learn.”
3. All this interest in how people vote is, uh, interesting. I think of all the people who don’t vote as it is and I think they’re the problem. But there sure are a lot of people who seem interested in regulating hte voting of others by changing such things as WHO can vote (property owners? people who aren’t receiving governmen assistance, not including government contracts, of course?), and HOW they vote (no straight-ticket voting). You know, there are groups out there who’d rather nobody but themselves got to vote. I wonder why.
Me flunk english? That’s unpossible.
One of my favourite games to play anytime this blog offends my liberal sensibilities is “Which right-wing republican editor wrote this?” which only involves scrolling back to the top to see if it was Wick or Peter.
