One Week.

(a profit for football that is)

The CNN article says that for the 2008-2009 season Texas had 65 million in profit.

My understanding is that football pulls in a profit, but as McD points out, it is offset by the other sports, so that athletics as a whole doesn't have a profit.

That was a good read. Has UT issued some statement about where they've cut the athletic budget?

Oh, I'm glad you popped up... there was something I wanted to ask you. What are your thoughts about Robin Williams' appearance on the Tonight Show? I hear he compared Dave and Leno's bickering to two prostitutes battling over the last merkin.

On one hand, I suppose it is nice to have the free publicity, but on the other, no one wants to be associated with Leno these days. 


2009 Dec 17 12:01 (#4191.12713):

This is also a thing.

Wikipedia would beg to differ. The article says that he has six children.

For some reason I would have thought that the largest graffiti would be bigger than that. Don't get me wrong, a few blocks is impressive, but I was hoping for something on the order of a few miles.

Also, can crop circles be considered graffiti?

Because I have insurance, I feel like the outcome of health insurance reform isn't going to affect me too much, and haven't been paying attention to this topic at all. Whether my belief is correct or (most likely) not, I don't understand a lot of the reasoning for certain points.

For example, in the tab about mandates: I can understand why each lobby may be for or against a mandate, but I am not sure why an average person would be for or against a mandate. Why does congress think it is in the people's best interest for a mandate? Is it because they agree with the insurance companies that there will be a premium hike to compensate for the people who only purchase it when they need it?

While this bit of background information is good to read, I'm so unaware that I don't understand the reasoning and arguments for and against the different points. Has anyone found a good, unbiased site discussing the pros and cons of each element in the proposal?

I wanted to see a larger picture of the box, but I got this. (SFW)
