  1. Is that the Beatles’ ‘No Reply,’ or the Buzzcocks song?

    Not that that affects the answer…

  2. Beatles, yes.  But it’s good to see someone around here remembers the Buzzcocks.

  3. Bork Sting Mac Ms Gulden.

    Best.  Sentence.  Ever.

  4. But it’s good to see someone around here remembers the Buzzcocks.

    “Hollow Men” v. “Hollow Inside.”

  5. "Autonomy” vs. Deuteronomy.

  6. Bork. Alito never fired Archibald Cox

    Every Breath You Take, although Run for your Life beats it in a walk

    Mac

    1995-96 Detroit Red Wings vs. 2001 Seattle Mariners these are sports teams, are they not?

    Gulden

  7. I had no idea that my mac was non-pc. Who can possibly find a raincoat offensive?

  8. 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings vs. 2001 Seattle Mariners

    In a best of seven? Who gets the home field advantage?

  9. Is this a PC with a Penguin or a Demon inside?
    And is the Mac with fries?

  10. Since Limbaugh is a noted Mac user, that would have to make a Mac non PC.

  11. Alito, but only because the 06 Senate Judiciary Committee is softer.  Red Wings, because the competion was tougher. Kosciusko, on the grounds of versitility.

  12. 1) Negative points tie.
    2) Beatles, of course.
    3) I hear Macs rule...I own a PC.  What can I say?
    4) Don’t care.
    5) Who?

    Posted by  on  01/15  at  10:27 PM

  13. 1) Big Bad Bob Bork is the wingnut’s wingnut’s
    2) the boys from Liverpool are my reply
    3)Macs rule, but Rush uses them get that man a PC, come on Bill Gates.
    4) the Wings had the better pitching staff, but the Mariners had better goaltending
    5) Grey poupon or tha tis not a choice, so Guldens.

  14. Okay, I’ll vote:

    1. Alito. 2. Abstain.* 3. 4. PC.** Abstain. 5. I’m polyamorous when it comes to condiments.

    * ‘Run For Your Life’ would get a vote, as would ‘Rubber Room’ by the Freeze, so long as we’re doing songs of that ilk.

    ** If it’s running some kind of Linux. I would too if I weren’t addicted to Endnote and One Note (god help me)

  15. But Peter, Steve Jobs is a vegan.  How PC is that?

    Posted by  on  01/15  at  11:46 PM

  16. Now, now, there are racist-skinhead-drug-and-alcohol-free vegans who have gotten vegan tshirts banned in some schools. Don’t assume.

  17. Alito: he’s sneakier than Bork

    PC vs. Mac: PC with the Penguin (Help stamp out capitalist software!)

    1995-96 Detroit Red Wings vs. 2001 Seattle Mariners: Brazil 1958--1970

    “Every Breath You Take” vs. “No Reply”: Dover Beach (S. Barber setting.) [I don’t know either song in the comparison and am little inclined to learn: ``And when you say Dylan, he thinks you mean Dylan Thomas, whoever that was: the man ain’t got no culture’’]

    Posted by Paul Lyon  on  01/16  at  12:06 AM

  18. Alito: he didn’t get Borked. Yet?

    Macs: subverting establishment paradigms since 1984

    1995-96 Red Wings: hockey always beats baseball.

    Posted by  on  01/16  at  01:20 AM

  19. This all relates to the year 1984, right?

    Alito- in 1984 wrote the famous wiretap memo

    Police -in 1984, EBYT was no 1

    Mac-1984 was the year the mac was introduced

    Mariners-1984 was the last time the Seahawks made the playoffs

    Kosciusko-1984 was when Midnight oil released this kick ass song (from one of my favorite albums red sails in sunset)

  20. I think you are right buddy! Got it now.

    Posted by kevin  on  01/16  at  08:24 AM

  21. While Autonomy has some great players, they lack a cohesive offense or defense. Deuteronomy’s big advantage is The Coach who is downright omniscient. Woe be to the player who does not play by His rules! Can I get an Amen?

  22. 9/11 versus 9/11: ‘73 or ‘01?

    Dorfman versus Berube: malignant allegory or benign parody??

  23. You left out today’s big matchup:

    the real MLK vs. the right-wing fantasy version of MLK

    Hey, maybe Dorfman is the same “undergraduate” who had that run-in with Homeland Security over his inter-library loan request for Mao’s Little Red Book?? I feel a deja vu coming on…
