Happy Monday, everyone! On a personal note, I discovered it’s possible to burn a microwaveable mac n cheese bowl in less than 30 seconds. The smoke damage is rough. The more you know.

Will, you forgot to tell us where Tech, GSU are ranked…HAHAHAHA!
This is the only thing that makes the preseason rankings tolerable to me.
Where it counts as an academic university USNews ranks Tech 36th in its list of “National Universities,” UGA is at 61, and GSU’s rank was too low to publish. Emory was 21st. Obviously their ranking methodology is flawed since Emory doesn’t even have a football team. However as the father of 3 former students, my favorite list on their site is the one using the least student loan debt of graduates as their criteria.
More controversy for The Liar.
“On Friday, the New York Times reported that Clinton told FBI officials former Secretary of State Colin Powell had advised her to use a personal email account while she held the Secretary of State office herself.
“Her people have been trying to pin it on me,” Powell, 79, told PEOPLE Saturday night at the Apollo in the Hamptons 2016 Night of Legends fête in East Hampton, New York.
“The truth is, she was using [the private email server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did,” Powell added.
Why does the former diplomat believe this to be the case?
“Why do you think?” he said. “It doesn’t bother me. But it’s okay; I’m free.”
Sigh…
Why do I bother…

Quick no snark question: Is there anything, anything that could come out, emails or otherwise, that would make you NOT vote for Hilly?
Sure. It would have to be worse than Trump’s baggage and there would have to be another candidate who matched my worldview better.
You post these things from gossip sites and even when they are not you read things into them that aren’t there because you really want it to be true. If you just want to be in the echo chamber there is freerepublic. Out here you’re going to get called on it (when someone feels like bothering).
Hillary is not gravely ill.
Powell had personal email before HRC did.
Hillary will give written testimony under oath.
Hillary is probably not a member of the Illuminati, and so what if she is.
How many fringe stories you post have to be debunked before you begin to not believe everything you read? At what point do you say to yourself “Self, I may have been a little irrational about all this.”? Why do you have this compulsion to re-post stuff from out in right field? Could it be you are looking for some reinforcement of your tenuously supported paradigm?
You can be a conservative and not like Donald Trump. He is not a conservative. He is not on the political spectrum at all. He is an egotistical charlatan selling snake oil. The philosophy of Trump supporters seems to me to be “break it and let somebody else fix it” because Trump has given no sensible indication of fixing anything. That may be an OK philosophy when it comes to a small company or a family (i.e. divorce), but it is not a viable plan for a giant country. It is basically what we did in Iraq- we broke it with no plan to then fix it. Is that want we want here?
If the choice is A.”break it and see what happens” or B.”keep the unpleasant status quo until somebody better comes along, I’ll take B.
Disdain for Hillary is a powerful thing. And Trump is in some measure breaking it even as he heads toward defeat. “The only way we can lose, in my opinion, I really mean this, Pennsylvania, is if cheating goes on.” Just kidding.
Clearly, the problem that Bush, Dole, W, W again, McCain, and Romney had in the Keystone State was paying insufficient attention to cheating.
From the “fringe” AP. Maybe Pink Floyd’s “Money” might be a good theme right about now. The cash register sound seems rather appropriate. LOL!

Oh, and tell me where Powell kept his own private server. I missed that.
