John Adams, "News has a kind of mystery" from Nixon in China (Mt. Love)

Commentary: Nixon in China is an opera, and about the best idea possible for an opera, except for the Mountain's super secret idea, which I dare not reveal.

The Victors
Well, the BCS Bullshit Bowl was a disappointment, and I rue the filthy Gators' national championship, but they were unquestionably the far better team. There were two positives to emerge from the game: a) the hated Jim Tressel was made to look like a chump and b) I am more glad than ever that the villainous Urban Meyer declined Notre Dame's invitation to become head coach of the vile Fighting Irish.

Ohio State lost, and every loyal Wolverine knows that's never really a bad thing. Ha! Next year in arboreal Ann Arbor, we shall wreak our vengeance and begin to restore equilibrium to the greatest sports rivalry in all the wide world. I believe in Lloyd Carr.

Go Blue!
