Even a crappy high school team gets on the field to play

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

Even in the face of certain defeat, they still dress, go on the field and play the game. Even when everyone in town predicts defeat. Even when they know they will probably lose. They still play the game.

Our guys don't dress, they stay in the fieldhouse and forfeit.

I bought my ticket. I want to see the game played out. I don't give a crap if they lose. But I am owed at least the game.

3. Seems worse than that...

Sounds to me like they're trying to delay ending the war until september, and then look like they're against it in time for the elections.

It ain't a forfeiting high school football team, it's the 1919 black sox.

4. Using a war to win elections.

Maybe they HAVE learned from the Republicans...

5. Why, Mr. Bornaginhooligan

Are you suggesting that this game is FIXED?

That's a mighty strong statement, SUH!
