OK, so I was wrong.

The Bears have one major weakness:  They’re careless, they’re sloppy. 

Is there a better football team than Da Bears?

Not if the game I’m watching means anything.  Granted they’re playing against the lowly 49ers, but it’s 41-0 at the end of the first half.  If Chicago has any weaknesses, it’s hard for me to see what they are.  Of course, the fragility of Rex Grossman is always an issue, but man they look good. 

Today’s Muslim Outrage:

2012 Olympics scheduled during Ramadan. 

The chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, Massoud Shadjared said: “This is going to disadvantage the athletes and alienate the Asian communities by saying they don’t matter. It’s not only going to affect the participants, it’s going to affect all the people who want to watch the games.”

It probably WILL affect all the people who want to watch the game.  Getting blown up and/or your head sawed off usually does.  That IS the normal outcome of whatever the Muslims happen to be outraged by, after all. 

BTW, is anyone else as amused by the whole notion of an “Islamic Human Rights Commission” as I am?  Just curious.

I’m positive that someone else has already done this because it’s such an obvious thing, so I’m happy to give whoever that person is credit for the idea, but I’m going to begin “Today’s Muslim Outrage” as a feature on Hoosier Illuminati.  They’re outraged by so damn much that there’s surely room for more than one site to run with it.

The most pathetic 5-0 team in football.
