Muleke, that is the most peculiar trollpost ever. Maybe you and count floyd could have a fistfight and we could bet on that.
Anyway, totally OT but useful, the Columbia Journalism Review is running a presswatch on campaign coverage: http://www.campaigndesk.org. It will make Dean people happy and they deserve a break from the Pickle.

Don't quite understand what Muleke Brasileiro was talking about but the capital of Brasil is Tokyo, right?

Thought you should know in case you ever meet this person on the street. He'll be the one waving both middle fingers constantly in your face and asking for the name of the capital of Brasil.

Me? I'll just be the guy who does not like football and will be listening to music at home on Super etc. day.

I don't accept the DNC as "neutral", at this point. Not when I've received two fundraising solicitations from them signed by James Carville, the guy who says that Howard Dean must have had a lobotomy, that he's self-destructing and is a disaster for the party.

Pick your favorite candidate
Send in a donation with above information to participate
If your Team wins, send your donation money directly to your favorite candidate.
Send all losing Team donations to DNC.

Again need to check with your legal system on this one...might be okay if it is more like a raffle.

Boycott the Superbowl. The refusal of CBS to run the Move On ads while agreeing to air the anti-drug propaganda drivel is too much. As if the ever increasing non-stop babble all year of the commentators wasn't bad enough or the pornographic truck/suv commercials. I don't think I've ever missed a super bowl but the thought of one more half time jingo rally is too much too take. Sure, there is more to life than politics. But if you're going to let it in don't only let one side in.

If anyone here is going to the SuperBowl, you should buy and wear an "I am Atrios" hat. Think of the exposure!

Atrios should not post requests for organizational ideas on Saturday nights.

Anyhoo, I'd propose an open thread on this before the big game. Let anyone who wants to bet, bet, with the stakes & charity payee to be determined by the bettors. Any higher level of organization than that will be a waste of time, given the somewhat anarchic nature of Eschaton readers.

Iggles vs Pats, both games by 3 or less. Anyone differing, speak up now, we'll discuss stakes.
Thersites | 01.18.04 - 1:54 am | #

I believe there will be an upset in at least one of those games. The Panthers might surprise the Eagles, and the Colts do have the best QB in football.

It could conceivably be Colta and Panthers in the Super Bowl.
Adam 4-4-2 | 01.18.04 - 2:38 am | #

OK, Adam 442.

If it's Iggles-Pats, you send $25 to the charity/candidate of my choice.

If it's Colts-Panthers, I send $25 where you want.

If it's neither, we have a Super Bowl bet. Agreed?
Thersites | 01.18.04 - 2:56 am | #

This has to be the weirdest thread I've ever seen, I'll take $20.00 at 5 to 1 on the Cubs, I know with the 3 games to 1 lead on the Marlins, and with Prior pitching in the sixth game, they are a cinch to make it to the world series. What could possibly go wrong?
Another Bruce | 01.18.04 - 3:21 am | #

You have to figure it this way: Home field advantage gives the Eagles 3 points. Each side will score two touchdowns. Eagles will make make two field goals, miss one. Pussycats make no field goals. Final score: Eagles 20, Pussycats 14. Bet your house on it. If I'm wrong, sue me.

It's simple, Pinky. By whipping up a boycott against Florida orange juice, I will cause the U.S. Government to come to the brink of disaster by buying all of the excess orange juice on the market. Then, on Superbowl Sunday, I will use that excess orange juice to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
