In week four, the Oregon Ducks will be chasing their 13th conference win in a row when they go to Tuscon, AZ to play the Arizona Wildcats. The Ducks recovered from their opening season loss against the LSU Tigers by blowing out two straight non-BCS opponents in Autzen Stadium in Eugene, OR.


The Ducks uptempo offense is led by Darron Thomas at quarterback and LaMichael James as the feature back. After a slow start, James had 204 yards on only 12 rushing attempts and three touchdowns against the Missouri State Bears. Freshman De'Anthony Thomas has also developed into quite the play maker so far early in the season. He has 170 yards rushing and 153 yards receiving for three touchdowns.

Buffet Rule - Obama's Millionaire Tax Rate Increase: Is it the correct path for our country?

posted by bluemoon22 68 days ago under buffet rule, president obama, politics, taxes, whosright
President Barrack Obama is expected to seek a new tax rate for millionaire's in America. The purpose of the new tax rate is to ensure millionaire's pay an equal percentage of their wealth as do taxpayers from the middle class.


According to White House spokesmen, Obama will announce this new plan as part of his proposal on Monday for long term deficit reduction. It is being called the Buffet Rule after multi-billionaire Warren Buffet because of complaints he made about rich people like him paying a less amount of their income in federal taxes than those making middle class wages.

The Buffet Rule will seek a new base tax rate for the wealthy to ensure they are paying the same amount of taxes on their income as middle class tax payers. It is essentially a new tax rate for the rich.

Do you agree with the Buffet Rule? Is it a good idea for our country?

Emmy Nominees: Who is the best lead actress in a comedy?

posted by bluemoon22 69 days ago under the emmy awards, entertainment, television, whosright
Laura Linney as Cathy Jamison in The Big C

Laura Linney has won three Emmys, twice for lead roles in miniseries/movies and once as outstanding guest actress. Now she's up for best lead in a comedy for the first time. The LA Times points out "the three-time past champ has never lost." and Goldderby puts her in the lead with a 55% chance of winning based on experts', editors' and users' votes.



Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton in Nurse Jackie

Edie Falco has been nominated for lead actress in a drama for her role on Sopranos six times and won three times. Access Hollywood notes that "Edie Falco has performed the near impossible: She has made a clean break with the show that made her a star yet could have pegged her for a lifetime as mobster wife Carmela Soprano." Her transformation has been so successful that last year she wont he Emmy for her role on Nurse Jackie, making her the first actress to achieve the lead actress award for both drama and comedy.



Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation

Amy Poehler is the popular favorite for this category, despite what Goldderby may say. Comments sections are overwhelmed with praise for Poehler and her show, Parks and Recreation. Poehler has never won an Emmy but has been nominated four times, twice for supporting actress on SNL and twice now for Parks and Rec. She lost to Edie Falco last year.

Emmy Nominees: Best Drama Series

posted by bluemoon22 69 days ago under the emmy awards, entertainment, television, whosright
Which drama series do you think deserves the Emmy?


Boardwalk Empire (HBO), which premiered in 2010, is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 30s. The first episode earns the dubious honor of "most expensive pilot" at $18 million in production costs. Apparently it paid off, because the show has received several nominations from the Writers Guild of America, the Golden Globes and now the Emmys, and critical reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.


The Good Wife (CBS) began in 2009 and has been renewed for a third season. The show deals with a woman whose husband has been incarcerated following a public sex scandal, inspired by most of the male politician sex scandals you can think of, and the creators' thoughts about what the diligent wife standing by must be thinking during those times. The second season is generally considered an improvement on the first, and The Good Wife has earned 9 Emmy nominations this year.


Mad Men (AMC) has been a darling of critics and viewers since 2007. Another period piece, it's set in the 1960s at a fictional advertising agency in New York City. Actor Jon Hamm has found his breakthrough role as advertising creative director Don Draper, and he's up for Best Lead Actor in a Drama for the third time this year. Mad Men has won the Emmy for best drama series in 2008, 2009 and 2010 -- it's likely to win again.

The 2011 Emmys air September 19. In the Comedy category, Modern Family continues to dominate, though with only 33% of the nominations instead of the 66% the show boasts when it comes to best supporting actor. Favorites Jane Lynch and Kristen Wiig snagged nominations and their star power may overshadow Modern Family's strength in numbers. Betty White, who fills a niche all her own, and Jane Krakowski round out the nominees. In addition to being up for an Emmy for her role, Jane Lynch will be hosting the awards show. She'll do the job as herself, not as her character, despite talk to the contrary.

Ben Flajnik is the new Bachelor! Do you like the choice?

posted by bluemoon22 73 days ago under bachelor, ben flajnik, whosright, reality tv, television
At the end of the Bachelor Pad 2 season finale, we learn Ben Flajnik has been chosen to be the new Bachelor. Ben was runner-up in Ashley Hebert's season of Bachelorette last year.

He seemed to be a really nice and genuine guy in Ashley's season, and he probably would be a great husband for someone. However, I'm not happy with the choice. I'm getting tired of them just recycling former contestants. Instead, I would much rather get introduced and meet someone completely different and new. I already know everything about Ben. Of course, I'll watch the show, but I would have preferred a new face and a new story to learn.
