The Vulprisian Daily Post needs material, so what better way to get some material to cover than the good ‘ol stand-by, The Tippeligaen, (aka The Norwegian Premier League in soccer)?

Some guy with a vowel in his name
…will be selected #1 in the 2010 NFL Draft.
There. I said it. Now we just wait and see if I’m right or not. If I am, then I expect a lot of attention for getting that awesomely hard prediction correct.

One good thing about global financial destruction
Here’s an MSNBC article that reports more students are staying in, or going back to school to complete their education in an economy that’s getting worse by the millisecond. You know, the one that will prevent you from having a job until 2025 if you don’t have a degree, and 2019 if you do. (This date changes by the millisecond also depending on which windbag is speaking on television or in the blogosphere.)
So happy it’d make a Vulprisian’s tail sway gently back and forth
…knocking things off the coffee table.
The Tangled Up In Blue Guy is pretty accurate, I am a “bemused watcher” of the Liberal blogosphere. Although I do not consider myself a dyed in the wool lefty, I have voted party-line Democratic the past 3 election cycles, but do have these moments of fiscal conservatism (not the crazy moonbatty fiscal conservativism). Otherwise I do lean Liberal.

Where are the 2008 reports?
I’m still trying to think of the best way to distribute them. Out of the Park Baseball 9 puts together lots, and lots, and LOTS of data. All of which I have to publish in a reasonable format, one that will not take forever to recreate when I expand into three levels and then have a Champions League tournament at the end of the season to boot.
I’ll find some way to do this. Meanwhile, I’ve copied the Premiership data files into a test environment and tried to see how much OOTP could take if I were to include 400 teams in the league (including all 300+ Division I colleges). It slowed down the performance, but it didn’t break the system. Although I don’t think in reality I would want to have a college feeder league. I was only getting North American players, and it was cutting down on the number of Norwegians, Englishmen etc., from getting assigned a Premiership team.

La. bill seeks to ban Vulprisians
by Vulprisian Galactic Empire Wire Services
as reported by Earth scientist Dr. PZ Myers
A bill recently introduced in the Louisiana State Legislature seeks to ban the ability to “create or attempt to create a human-animal hybrid, . . . transfer or attempt to transfer a human embryo into a non-human womb . . . (or) transfer or attempt to transfer a non-human embryo into a human womb.” The legislation, the first believed to have been introduced in Earth’s United States territory of Louisiana, would ban the experiementation by human scientists in the jurisdiction from conducting experiments in the lab combining Human and non-Human cells.

I know that’s what I’ve been asking
The Kalamazoo Gazette has dared to ask the quesiton, in these tough economic times, that we’ve always wanted to have an answer to, and so we waited, patiently, for years in some cases, to receive an answer. And now we have an answer to When is it OK to buy from the back of a van?.

“We lost our voice today.”
Harry Kalas, 1936-2009
I’ve been trying really hard to come up with the best way to write this post. This loss today was incredibly devastating. I have been a Phillies fan since 1993, and Harry Kalas has been there my entire tenure with the team, as well as my entire life. He put such enthusiasm into his play-by-play that carried over to his life outside of baseball. Whenever he was interviewed away from the game, that enthusiasm for his work, and his life was there.
