Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that truly criticizes Liberals and Conservatives equally. Obama supporters – better known as the callous, the comfortable and the uncaring – continue to whine to me about how appalled they are that I don’t share their high opinion of themselves. 
NUMBER TWO TAKES A FALL – The 25th ranked NORTH CENTRAL (IL) CARDINALS provided a shocker yesterday as they hosted the number 2 team in the nation – the ELMHURST COLLEGE BLUE JAYS.

OTHER UPSETS IN THE TOP TWENTY-FIVE – The COLBY COLLEGE WHITE MULES edged the visiting (8) AMHERST COLLEGE LORD JEFFS in a 66-64 Instant Classic ### And the PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY LUTES took it on the road, toppling the (16) WHITMAN COLLEGE MISSIONARIES by the tight final score of 79-74.
