Fridays are always animated 'round these parts. HEADS UP: Thenanigans will be taking a bit of a break so that we can move our offices. Or, uh, what passes for them. We'll be back as soon as we can. Meanwhile, as a reminder, you can find us over here each and every Saturday. Look for us at the Weekend Dossier. Stop in and enjoy the view.
THE REAL STORY: While congress wastes time on useless votes against "Obamacare", creating fake controversies and serving their NRA overlords, the nation's deficit has been shrinking. Quickly.
BITCH SLAPPED BY GOD: He was no amused.
SPEAKING OF FAKE CONTROVERSIES: The Benghazi story keeps offering up nuggets of truth that are inconvenient to the story line certain pachyderms want you to swallow.
ONE MORE REASON WE HATE INSURANCE COMPANIES: They are not your friends. They are beholden to shareholders. They don't care. Boooo. Of course, this is a broad hyperbole with gross over generalizations. But mostly, that is how we feel.
NOPE: Not uh. No. There is a reason we won't be having any kids. Because from where we sit, the sense of entitlement which permeates each generation gets uglier and uglier. This will simply make things worse.
AND BOOM GOES THE 49th STATE: Alaska has 52 active volcanoes. Who knew?
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? This looks like an invitation for a Zombie apocalypse. Or something.
SPACE CONUNDRUM OF THE DAY: How do you repair a flat (or three) where no one can hear you scream?
TWO THINGS: The Bieb and an Ocean's 11 worthy heist.
IT HAS BEGUN: This is going to make heads explode.
HOMER DOSES (and we relate):
NOBODY GO IN THE POOL! Oh, too late.
BETTY WHITE: You just might be next. This is something.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: First they overdid the bacon thing. Now this.
LUCKIEST DUDE EVER: Cheating death in two parts.
GAS MASK SHENANIGANS: (source)
HOW NOT TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA: This right here is hil-ar-ious.
THIS IS RELEVANT TO OUR INTERESTS: Number 13 has thenanigans written all over it.
PSSST: Our desire for clean, healthy food is causing problems. This is something.
WELL DUH: It turns out that nobody like hipsters.
SIMMER DOWN NOW: Looks like the sun is having a fit. This could get interesting.
MOTOR CITY SADNESS: It's really hard not to read all of this and not make the connections to the country at large.
ON THE BACKS OF THE STUDENTS: We have a pretty big problem with this. Priorities. Balance. Common sense. Bring it all back.
CYNICAL ASSHATS: These guys are shameless. Also, liars.
THIS IS A GOOD THING: Thenanigans likes to spend time in a certain mountain town which has been devastated in the past by gold mining mishaps. This new approach to mining seems promising.
GRAMMAR NAZIS: There's one inside us all. Even if we don't realize it.
WORDS...we've lost ours: (source)
From the photographer:
My eye caught a dark form lying on the river bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar's final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot.
ON SECOND THOUGHT, NEVERMIND: Apparently the woman who came up with the idea of Mother's Day wasn't especially fond of what happened to it.
DAYUM NATURE, YOU SCARY: Feelin' Minnesota? Because, yikes.
WE SEE DUMB PEOPLE: The munchies edition. Then there's this.
NICE DOC YOU GOT THERE GOVERNOR: So many jokes, so little time. Also, ick.
THE GREAT IRS CONTROVERSY: Perspective might be useful right about now. So we'll start with this. And we'll add this. Yes, this is an indefensible story about decisions made by a few employees there. But it's not really worth the hullabaloo given recent history. So, let's roll some heads and move on.
SERIOUSLY...why do people even fly if they have a somewhat decent alternative? Because at this point, it's just bullshit. There, we said it.
GOT GRAMMAR SKILLZ? Willing to put them to the test?
MAPPING THE H8: This is both interesting and discouraging and sad and pathetic. Surprisingly, thenanigans little corner of 'Murica is not a hot spot. So, hurray?
DAYUM NATURE, YOU SCARY PART TWO: The Gods are about to go all Popocatepetl on Mexico. This is not a good thing.
PARTY! Well this is one way to spend an evening. Good times, good times.
WHAT. THE. HAMBURGERS? This is, uh, er, wow. Just wow. People, as a rule, can be pretty effed up.
International Space Station commander Chris Hadfield has been sending some pretty interesting and educational videos back to Earth. This is his fitting final performance. For us this began with trepidation and "oh no, what's going on here" but by the end we were charmed.
THE TRUE COLORS OF LIFE: (source)
NO MORE BUTTS: One California woman comes up with a novel way to kick the habit.
BURN OF THE DAY: When you've lost the International Space Station due to reliability issues...yeah.
This is the fabulous Thorncrown Chapel in Arkansas. Unfortunately, this incredible building is threatened.
CYA OF THE DAY: Looks like the finger pointing is in high gear.
FOR THE RECORD: Perspective on the current Benghazi circus taking place in Washington DC. Also, this.
SO THAT'S WHY...barns are red. Stardust, for the most part.
THE PURGATORY OF THE COLLEGE WAITING THIS: So this is happening. It's hard for us to wrap our heads around the efforts being put forth to end up with a five or six figure debt level upon making one's way in the world.
THIS IS RELEVANT TO OUR INTERESTS: Well this explains why we couldn't find this in the free section at the iTunes book store. Also, this seems to be a big issue for a lot of the sites we take in on the interwebs.
DAYUM MOTHER NATURE: You is fabulous!
A spiderhunter searches for lunch.
Fridays are always animated 'round these parts. ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAR:
SO THAT WHY THAT HAPPENS: Ever hoover an entire box of girl scout cookies before you knew what was up? Yeah, us either.
BAT SHIT CRAZY: This is what passes for leadership for the biggest bunch of bullies in 'Murica. We have no issue with guns or gun ownership. We do have issues with ignorant ass hats.
SAY IT AIN'T SO MICKEY: Is it us, or is Disney actually becoming the Evil Empire? Yes, we understand that the argument can be made that this actually happened years ago, but this right here is fairly shocking even for this particular behemoth. UPDATE: Well that was fast.
IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE MESSENGER: Wait, rewind. It is totally about the messenger. Closely followed by the message. So, yeah.
BOOKMARK WORTHY: The always interesting Discover Magazine has introduced a new blog called Body Horrors. The first installment is a post titled Microbial Misadventures and it's all about anthrax and dirty hippies.
THE NEW NORMAL: In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, one town is going wireless. They don't really have a choice.
PRIORITIES: Deadspin takes a look at the highest paid state employees in America. This is something that has caught our attention in the past. But to see it in one handy infographic is fairly sobering. Sports Nation indeed.
WELL NO DUH: This will come as a surprise to who, exactly?
THIS IS PRETTY EFFED UP RIGHT HERE: What happens when we don't have anything to pollinate our crops? We go hungry.
It's all fun and games until Wild Shamu gets a snack.
FACEBOOK FAIL FOLLIES: But will there be fallout?
CONSEQUENCES: The best Korea edition. This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that these people are living in the world's craphole.
FLORIDUH: Stay classy. We can only hope that this woman is shamed into oblivion but we get the feeling that she is beyond that kind of thing.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? This should be a boon to Docs In A Box the world over. We don't see this achieving much.
HE WHO LAUGHS LAST...President Carter gets his just deserts.
WANT: Totally and completely. Anyone care to subsidize this particular dream for us?
BUT DON'T CALL IT CLIMATE CHANGE: The Arctic Ocean is trippin' balls right about now.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN TRYING ANYMORE: CNN has become an embarrassment.
PROTECTION: Fellas - this might be the most important piece of undergarment you've ever purchased. Introducing Armored Nutshellz.
JESUS WOULD NOT APPROVE: This is right out of a movie. Or book. Or even the Bible, mayhap.
DON'T BE LIKE THIS GUY: Hoe. Lee. Shitballs.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG: From where we sit this seems more like a public tantrum than civil disobedience. This will only create unnecessary drama for law enforcement not to mention extra resources for the District. This helps nothing and only demonstrates the desire to stir up emotions.
OH THAT'S NASTY: Pass the Kleenex. And call the neurologist.
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG: This might have been hilarious if it wasn't kind of sad. So, we guess we'll call it amusing.
SPELL IT OUT: Some things really shouldn't get included on your to do list. And if they have to be on there, then, you really need to think about that long and hard.
WE HEART THIS LADY: Bacon.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER TUB: (source)
AMATEUR HOUR: Once upon a time there were research libraries and encyclopedias. Now there is crowd-sourced intelligence. With significant drawbacks.
SO LONG MARGE: We feel like we knew you. Oh wait...
SCIENCE! It would appear that the guys in the white coats have figured out a way to help us keep on keeping on even when we can't breathe. This is something.
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG: This guy is anything but bueno.
VIDEO OF THE DAY: This is why we have the internet. Thank you Al Gore.
THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE: And this guy has been taking their money for 30 years or so. So, congratulations?
PUNKED BY THE PINK: All that money people give to the Komen Foundation? It goes to their CEO and their staff. Only 17% goes to research for the cure. That's nonsense.
THE CULTURE WARRIORS...have set their sites on adoption. Just so you know.
SCIENCE! You had us at vomit. This is actually pretty interesting. Then there's this.
Johnny Marr takes on "How Soon Is Now" all by himself. Huh.
DAFT AND DAPPER: (source)
THIS RIGHT HERE: Celebrated novelist Sherman Alexi has a few observations about Jason Collins and gay men in professional sports. This is brilliant.
FAP-TASTIC! Self-love and the arts. Yes, there is a fruitful connection. Also, good news everybody!
DAMMIT! We aren't ready to be veggie-saurs. But this is one more thing that might tip the scales.
EATING DISORDER OF THE DAY: We totally know people like this.
DEADBEATS: And politicians to boot. What. A. Shocker.
NINCOMPOOPS: We need less of them, especially on the interwebs. This is encouraging (once you wipe away the general unpleasantness of our fellow man).
WHAT'S IN A NAME? Down under, it's more about what's not in a name. Apparently there are rules.
HERE WE GO AGAIN: Fox. Henhouse. This is just another disappointing decision from a guy who promised change. Not. So. Much.
TOOL: This guy represents a great deal of what's wrong with the Media in America.
Ladies and gentlemen, the horned viper. Boss.
COOKING GADGET OF THE DAY: We can't tell if this is the coolest thing ever or the dumbest.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG: Nothing to see here, move along. **cough**
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...Wait. Scratch that. Cop gets fired for the umpteenth time. Wait til you get a load of this jagweed.
HELLO GORGEOUS! (source)
THIS EXPLAINS THE WAR ON SCIENCE: Or the embrace of the stupid. Either way, it's not a flattering portrait. Then there's this. Sigh.
CIVILIZATIONS' FAVORITE QUAFF: Beer, glorious beer.
EXPANDING THE US ECONOMY: There's an app for that. Also, brains.
THANKS BUT NO THANKS: Congress decides it knows what's best for the military. Or, at least their lobbyists. This is just one more reason Americans hate those nincompoops.
WAIT, WHAT? Uncle Sam pays down some debt. You probably haven't heard about that what with all the noise about Benghazi or something.
H8 ON PARADE: Just don't get all up in their grill about it. At least have the balls to stand up for your beliefs. Ugh.
BEDBUGS & BALLYHOO: Yelp expands its offerings. Now you can get reviews for the big house.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER: Russia and Japan decide to tie up some loose ends. Really loose ends.
WE'D TOTALLY DO THIS: Don't judge.
'MURICA: This about says it all.
MEANWHILE: Beneath Manhattan...
IN THE REAL WORLD: This is called malfeasance.
And, frankly, amazing. To see a 747 just fall out of the sky like that is sobering. Also, lives were lost, so we would add tragic to the list of adjectives which describes this footage.
WHERE RAINBOWS COME FROM: (source)
THE CURIOUS INCIDENT...of the abandoned truck in the trees.
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK TO STAY HEALTHY...Corporate America is working against you. With consequences. But hey, who needs regulation? That just hurts business.
WE SEE DUMB PEOPLE: This is NOT, we repeat, NOT an article in The Onion.
We are gobsmacked (oh yes, we went there) by the photographs of Martina Lindqvist. Her series A Thousand Little Suns is strikingly beautiful.
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? Heads up fellas - when it comes to your pipes, the ladies swoon for James Earl Jones. Don Knotts? Not so much.
THE TROUBLE WITH SYRIA: Why we really don't want to be caught up in this business.
DARWIN AWARD WINNER OF THE DAY: By a hair.
REDNECK FISHING: The one that didn't get away.
FACE-PALM OF THE DAY: Art, reminding people that they have pieces parts even if they don't want to be reminded about their pieces parts. Good. Golly.
START ME UP: We missed it. Blast.
HOW TO OF THE DAY: Travel booking made easy. Ish.
We break these rules on a daily basis.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE D: As in Dappered. This is a pretty sweet contest they run every year. Make sure you're checking in each day. Also, thenanigans hits the road on Saturdays. If you haven't checked us out over there yet, what are you waiting for?
HOLY OBSESSIVE FAN: For the record, this guy IS married.
BLESSING BAGS: We are unsure what to think about this. Is this substantive assistance? Or is this really designed to make someone feel better about themselves - i.e. a selfish alleviation of guilt?
BOB'S YOUR UNCLE: Travelling to the land of bangers and mash? Best brush up on your English to English translations.
OH THAT'S NASTY: Please don't encourage this type of thing. Ugh.
WORST. APPLES. EVER: This is something that has bothered us for some time. Who actually eats Red Delicious apples? Because they are so not.
THIS WILL COME AS A SURPRISE TO NO ONE: That Round Up stuff really isn't something you want to be messing with.
WHAT. THE. EFF BOMB? First things first, this is totally NSFW. But, mostly, whoa. We cannot even imagine the scenario unfolding here. If it were to be tagged, it would include: nightlife, bmx tricks, public sexy-times, animal attraction, housing projects.
WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW: This.
Fridays are always animated 'round these parts. BUSINESS IN THE FRONT...
NETFLIX THIS: We've seen this a couple of times now. It is a really well done indie Sci Fi movie with something of a heart. It is beautifully filmed. It has admirable special effects. It's worth 94 minites of your time.
HEY FUZZY FACE: If you, like us, are considering losing your winter facewarmer, think again.
SIGN OF THE TIMES: There are many reasons why this is happening. The blame can be spread far and wide. But it is one more example of how we are not doing ourselves (or those who will be responsible for our future) any favors.
FOOD = FUEL: This is something our good friends over here are always reminding us. For those of you who are looking for meat-free options when it comes to protein, this right here is exceptionally helpful. Huge thanks to our pals over here for the tip.
HERO OF THE DAY: More stories like this please.
D'OH! A diamond in the gut.
BEST. SUMMER JOB. EVER: This guy is living the dream.
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF...no shit Sherlock. Seriously, someone paid for this study.
CONSEQUENCES: In our continued search for the cheapest goods imaginable, we are wreaking havoc far and wide.
SPINNING WHEEL OF DEATH: Have you picked up a virus from your adventures on the world-wide-waste of time? Are you
cheap the frugal sort? You might want to venture on over here.
THIS, EXACTLY: Gee, ya think? This is pretty much indefensible.
IF YOU DON'T TIP YOUR FOOD SERVER: You are kind of a douche. No offense.
ETHIOPIAN HIPSTER: (source)
Let's see you Williamsburg pussies go here.
TRAILBLAZING: This guy deserves huge props for the goal he has set for himself. We shall be rooting for him.
OOPSIE DAISY OF THE DAY: We find it hard to think of a mistake that has led to more financial hardships than this right here. If we were the people of Greece or Portugal or Spain or, uh, a good portion of the world, we'd be outraged and on the street - if we weren't too busy trying to stay alive.
THE PERILS OF ADONIS-NESS: Well this is just, uh, foreign. As in, we couldn't even relate to this. Sigh. Also, it is literally foreign.
THERE IS SO MUCH STUPID IN THE WORLD: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/23/tennessee-lawmaker-says-lighten-up-after-posting-pressure-cooker-bomb-joke/
INTERPLANETARY PURILE HUMOR OF THE DAY: We laughed...hard. Yeah, we're terrible.
WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: We certainly hope he gets what's coming to him. Unbelievable.
We really, really hate Carl's Jr's television ads. They're just...distasteful. But this monstrosity? Sigh. The sad truth is that once upon a time we would have joyfully hoovered one of these up and been really happy with that.
DON'T DO IT! For reals. DON'T EVEN ASK THAT QUESTION. We made the mistake of asking our favorite teacher in junior high and it stings us to this day.
There's a new, improved, fancy-pants $100 bill coming in October. Details on all of the security features ("shifting colors") can be found here.
THESE GUYS ARE SHAMELESS: Seriously, the lengths these people will go to in order to subvert the democratic process.
FIRE THEM ALL: The single greatest threat facing our economy and the people tasked with fixing it can't be bothered. Pitchforks and burning torches. We need them.
ARG! Everything you know about pirates is wrong. Blimey.
PAMPERED PUSS: (source)
FACEPALM OF THE DAY: This would be funny if the consequences weren't so scary.
HITTING TOO CLOSE TO HOME? There are so many obnoxious responses to Congress' self-inflected sequestration cuts that we couldn't possibly mention them all. These tantrums have been especially ridiculous. While the folks responsible for this nonsense have so far refused to address the issue, the fact that this may force their hand is heinous.
OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD: Really? REALLY?
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: We seem to remember that this didn't work out so well last time Germany tried this. </snark>
NICE KITTEH: Yup, this would be quite the surprise.
THE MORE WE LEARN ABOUT...these guys, the more uncomfortable we are about our options at the dinner table.
THANKFULLY...the Boston Bombers weren't the brightest bulbs in the box.
MEANWHILE...down under.
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE: Toddlers do. There are no words.
AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE: The rodeo edition.
ROCK AND ROLL R.I.P: This is sad news. Christina Amphlett of The Divinyls has died. She was just 53. An Acerbic, iconic and trailblazing performer, she had been suffering from multiple sclerosis and breast cancer. We had worked with Christina (as one of the team that helped the band get their biggest hit) - she was fierce and funny and she will be missed. While the band was known most for "I Touch Myself", this remains our favorite song of theirs.
IF YOU CAN'T HELP THEM...ship them out of state. To be fair, this happens all the time (Utah was caught doing the same thing before their Winter Olympic games).
DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT GEOGRAPHY: Confusion and the consequences of ignorance.
MEANWHILE...in Waco, they're still waiting.
WAXING AND WANING ON YOUR WRIST: For those times when you need to know the current phase of our favorite near space satellite.
WALL STREET IS AT IT AGAIN: This time they are making it harder for the middle class to buy homes.
NERD ALERT: These almost make us want to tease fate on a motorcycle. Almost.
GOOD FOR WHAT AILS YOUR SOUL? We're pretty sure this is not what the makers of acetaminophen had in mind when they created it. But, hey: BONUS!
THIS, EXACTLY: Aside from the fact that Budweiser's new hourglass can is an obvious novelty, we couldn't find any other reason to hate on it (aside from, of course, the beer itself), but then we found this. AS IF.
EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION: And often it is based on wonton stupidity.
INTERACTIVE UNDERPANTS: Coming to a torso near you? Yeah, we're sorry for that.
WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. We really, really don't like this man.
SHIPFACED: (source)
USS Inchon, dry dock, photo by Montie Talbert, Portsmouth, Virginia, 1969.
DIFFERENT RULES FOR THE 1%: Yes, we have a huge problem with this.
THIS IS WHY WE DON'T HAVE KIDS: Because if there was even a possibility that we would succumb to this kind of crap, ugh. And admittedly, this is one of a bazillion reasons we haven't reproduced.
WHO SAYS SOCCER IS BORING? Our football has nothing on their football.
OCCUPATIONAL OPPORTUNITY OF THE DAY: We are seriously considering sending in our resume for this.
IF YOU CAN'T BUY THE ELECTION...then buy the media. This can't possibly be a good thing for journalism, which, frankly, is already in a world of hurt.
STFU OF THE DAY: Yes, we all have the right to our own opinions and all of that. Still, this guy is a colossal jagweed.
WELL DUH: This comes as absolutely no surprise (to us anyway).
Friday's are always animated 'round these parts. ALL DAY, EVERYDAY:
WELL THAT'S JUST TERRIFIC: What could possibly go wrong?
BIGGEST TROLLS EVER: Someone put these people out of our misery please.
WAIT, WHAT? Really? Uh...huh.
OH THAT'S NASTY: This is exactly the kind of news we don't want to know about. We don't want to be veggie-saurs. And we can't afford the free-range 100% organic stuff. Sad trombone.
BOTTOMS UP: Not in a mood to mess around with your brewskis? Here are those that will eff you up the fastest.
BUT BEFORE YOU FEEL GUILTY FOR TYING ONE ON: Hit the gym.
WE SEE DUMB PEOPLE: And we point and laugh.
THE GRIM REAPER OVERSEES HIS HOOD: (source)
MEANWHILE, IN ICELAND: When you live in an island nation of 300,000 people, it's probably a good idea to make sure you aren't getting giggity with your relatives.
KNOW YOUR POISON: Here's what you need to know about ricin, the substance included in letters sent to President Obama and Senator Wicker of Mississippi.
BUTT OUT: Trying to quit smoking? There's a stimulating new treatment for that.
OFFERED WITHOUT COMMENT: However, snickering is in full effect.
TIME FOR THIS ONE TO MOVE ON: He has gone beyond the pale. Commenting on a case currently before the Supreme Court is something that is just not done. He needs to step down.
SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT: Our Commander in Chief continues to inspire kamikaze like affects from CEO's across the country. We never bought their products and we'll make sure not to start.
KILTS: Hey fellas - your lil swimmers prefer freeballing underneath the plaid.
ARRESTED SOUNDTRACKS 1: (source)
BAD TIMING...and an even worse reaction.
THIS IS WHY AMERICA STILL GIVES THE STINK-EYE TO THE SOUTH: It might be hard to find a man with less cajones that this guy at the moment.
LIFE IMITATES ART OF THE DAY: Mon dieu!
STANDING OVATION: We couldn't have said this better ourselves. For reals. We actually tried to express this in a conversation with our pals over here on Monday afternoon.
THIS IS RELEVANT TO OUR INTERESTS: Here at thenanigans we are tend to be progressive (with libertarian influences). Perhaps you've noticed. This article nicely summarizes one of the things we've been most troubled about over the past 10 years or so. It's not that we have a problem with so-called free markets. It's just that the rules of the game are skewed against people like you and me and rigged in favor of the new Oligarchs.
SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE: This is the second installment in our series of side effects warnings for heavily advertised prescription drugs. For the record: we empathize with people who are suffering from some unfortunate conditions. But we have to wonder if the so-called cure might not be worse when there are side effects warnings that look like this and this and this AND this for just one treatment. YIKES.
THEN AND NOW: Perspective.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE? Twelve-step programs may be a thing of the past if this becomes the norm. Thenanigans knows from experience just how valid this kind of experience can be when it comes to changing behavior.
PASS THE MALT VINEGAR: We see what you did there. And we're laughing.
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE: When is a grass roots movement not what it seems? When it's staffed and paid for.

Calling Out Disabled M Fans? Say It Isn't So!
While Michigan and its fans take great pride in the Big House being the "biggest" house, such a slip to #2 - in the grand scheme of things - isn't a major to deal, in my opinion. Especially in light of the cause behind it.
But apparently not all M fans feel the same way. MZone reader FS sent us a link to the Michigan Daily where, in a Letter to the Editor, one U-M senior "blames" handicapped fans for knocking the Big House down a notch and then proceeds to "call them out," saying they better pick up the slack of the "missing" fans:
Blame fans in wheelchairs for lower stadium capacity
To the Daily:
In response to the settlement the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America reached with the University regarding Michigan Stadium's wheelchair accessibility: Nice work guys, your wish finally came true. You have fought hard to ensure that you are able to see Michigan football in person. It is very important that you guys be able to view the game - important enough that the Big House will lose 1,300 seats and potentially the title of "largest stadium in college football."
Since you guys are willing to sacrifice Michigan Stadium tradition in order to see games, you must be fanatical about Michigan football. And, because you felt your rights to view a game were violated, you stuck up for yourselves. I commend you for making sure everyone has an equal chance to see a Michigan game.
Here is what I ask of all people who will be helped by this agreement: I expect all people in wheelchairs to work extra hard to make up for the loss in seating. I expect to be deafened by the roar on third downs coming from wheelchair sections. I expect to see every wheelchair decked out in maize and blue. I expect that wheelchair sections have their own original cheers.
Because people in wheelchairs are going to be accommodated by the Michigan community, it should not be too much to ask that these people return the favor.
LSA Senior
Please tell me this letter was a joke. Somebody? Please?

Nope, it was right there in the middle of the editorial page....

it is pretty sad, i would expect something with a little more thought from an english senior. maybe it is just because i am a chemical engineering major, but seriously, is it that hard to write an editorial without sounding like an emo high schooler? anything coming from LSA should knock your socks off. $20 says he sold at least one of his tickets for a profit.

That is unbelievable. No doubt he is going to regret that letter. If not now, some time in his future when he runs for some podunk political city office, this will come back to bite him in the ass. We create our own Karma.

You all are missing the point.
All together now:
"We're number two! We're number two!"

I shouldn't be permitted to have an opinion in this matter. When I was at college, I was actually in a bickering match with the handicapped fans who sat behind my tuba section.
A note to that letter writer: they do clap but they don't cheer.
...I should probably be shot in the arm for that.

Obviously the solution is to attach microphones to their chairs, and possibly noisemakers.
The best part will be when they lift each other up after TDs.
That or a fire.

1) #2 in seating capacity is only temporary.
2) At least we're still ahead of OSU.
It will only hurt him if he runs on a platform of handicapped rights. That would be funny.

2) At least we're still ahead of OSU.
Not in the noise department.

we had several years during the '90's when Tennessee (of all schools) was a little bigger. they finished their rebuild about 2 years ahead of ours and had a couple thousand more seats for awhile. i think they changed the stadium announcement from "largest crowd watching a game ..." to "the __th consecutive crowd over 100,000...".

To use the words of the Dude, he's not wrong, he's just an asshole.
We're losing the my-dick-is-bigger-than-yours contest (which was for several decades a point of pride among Michigan fans) on a procedural matter. The old wheelchair seats were never filled.
(If this is about improving previously negligent accessibility and not just capacity, then yeah, he's wrong and an asshole. I didn't read the article.)

thought for the day- this is two weeks in a row that Yost has posted about a minority of the population forcing the majority to accomodate the minority's needs.
last week it was 6 muslim women wanting the gym to themselves (or at least just for them and other women) at the expense of all the men. this week it's a few hundred disabled taking up the seats of several thousand other fans.
angst aside, i don't see where this kid's letter is much different than many of the comments (and maybe Yost's post??) decrying the "special" arrangements made for the girls @ harvard. it's never a clear cut issue.
a minority group inconveniencing the majority is naturally anti-democratic and cuts against the underlying premise of "majority" rule. it is one of the biggest frictions and an achilles heel for any democracy (not often you get to cite de tocqueville on a cfb blog, huh?).
anyway, interesting to see who falls out on which side of the minority rights debate since it actually effects michigan football (and not a bunch of 2nd raters @ harvard).

It'd be one thing if the handicapped section was overflowing every game. I've never seen it more than 1/4 full. That's not saying it's never been full. Disabled people have just as much right to watch a game as anyone else but if the demand isn't there...
Basically I agree with Jeremy.

the debate on "numbers" is also an interesting contrast to last week's post.
michigan & the law school were the center of the rulings on the use of "quotas" for admissions. the civil rights act of '64, doesn't typically allow the use of "numbers" for addressing minority opportunity for education.
the ADA, however, is all about "numbers". as w/ the stadium now, it's entirely about how many seats for how many people.
the civil rights act addresses gender, race, religion- basically touches the entire population in some way. the ADA addresses a very small fraction by comparison. yet the ADA zealously considers "numbers" and requires "quotas"- you'll have X number of seats reserved for the handicapped in M stadium. while the civil rights act requires a balancing act and explicitly bars the use of numbers or quotas for defining the rights of the bulk of the population.
another interesting contrast

I've got to say I agree with SiC. It's pretty frustrating when it happens, but this is life, and people on both sides feel that they're not being treated fairly. Similar to the previous post on Muslim Women and Harvard Gym hours thing, this, in my opinion, is also a case when tolerance crossed the line (by a toe or something).
I know I shouldn't compare healthy, able muslim women to the needy disabled, but this is happening at a grander scale where thousands of people are affected by mere hundreds seats. On the different side of the same coin, we should not undermine the muslim students' piety. As I understand, Islam is probably one of religions that require the most amount of dedication to follow, and we should respect that.
I have to applaud the athletic department for not caving into every single demand they get. We shouldn't underestimate their decision making process, I'm sure it's pretty long and tough. the athletic department even offered to have "mobile" seats that could be altered to accommodate the disabled, but it was rejected.
Anyway I am not complaining too much about the situation, but the fact remains that there's no real solution to it, because I am sure people on the other side of the fence would have a lot of counter arguments. But this boils down to simply a matter of opinion, i guess.
Well in life it comes down to this, "sometimes we've just got to give and take. " So it's definitely a positive thing on the image of the school to be able to resolve this without a lawsuit. and to disabled fans who previously were not able to get tickets, I welcome you sincerely to the game in the fall.
about the poster on the daily, yeah, he's kinda asshole about it.
Anyway I'm an Engineering Grad Student, so I don't think this is a matter of the traditional LSA vs CoE point of view, I think he's just expressing his frustration with a little too much unintentional sarcasm.
soon enough we would be number 1 back again, and it shouldn't be a cause for concern. if any Nittany Lions come into our house and make a fuss of it, we'll just give them 2 numbers. 9 and 0.
sorry if i offended anyone on this matter.

I seriously can not believe some of you. Surrounded in columbus, you make the point I was just about to bring up. This is the exact same situation as those Muslim women at Harvard. The only reason you are all criticizing this guy is because Yost wasn't the one to bring it up. I promise you, if Yost was the one to write that article everyone on this blog would be singing his praises.
I for one actually read the article and it's mostly facetious, albeit, perturbed sarcasm.
Last season I sat right behind the wheelchair section and not one game was it full. I could understand adding seating if there was a demand for it but there is clearly not.
Give the kid a break for speaking his mind. And please, please, stop clinging to everything Yost says as truth, and everything he bashes as an utter fallacy. He's just one man.

I love football as much as anyone, but from another site I read that the Big House did not have very good wheelchair access. This seems to have solved that problem. As to the letter while I agree with Catie that we all create our own karma, one never knows if a close family member of the author or the author themselves will end up in a wheelchair. I assume that this person is not grateful for having full mobility.

Why is this acceptable, but modifying gym hours at Harvard for Muslim women is not? What's the difference?
Both cases are when a minority wants the same access as the majority at the expense of the majority.
Whatever your opinion, it has to be consistent with the previous "debate".

How is this different from the Muslim gym hours situation? Really?
Well, for starters - and enders - religion is a choice. Being handicapped isn't.
And has been pointed out, this wasn't just about seating capacity, but accessibility.
The Muslim women CHOSE not to go to the gym during the co-ed hours, but they had equal access and the ultimate decision was thus theirs. In this situation, if there weren't access/seats, the disabled folks had no way to attend the game.
In addition, it's not like by adding these seats, everybody else was banned. If the change was that only handicapped people could attend the games for the first quarter of each game, then yeah, I'd be singing a different tune.
Finally, this was in response to a Justice Department lawsuit against the University because of claims the previous/current wheelchair capacity/accessibility violated federal law. Harvard's previous open gym hours did not.

What a moron. That said, I don't understand the numbers the law requires - I've never seen a wheelchair section even half full.

"Well, for starters - and enders - religion is a choice. Being handicapped isn't. "
as far as i see, if you respect their choices in choosing a religion, the last thing you want to tell them is that they have a choice to change their religion. I find that statement pretty hypocritical because it's subtly saying "well you could always believe in something else", hence undermining their beliefs.
"The Muslim women CHOSE not to go to the gym during the co-ed hours, but they had equal access and the ultimate decision was thus theirs. In this situation, if there weren't access/seats, the disabled folks had no way to attend the game."
They didn't choose not to go, their religious laws FORBID them to do so, not much of a choice there. So in order to use some facilities, people would actually have to change religion to do so?
The disabled always had ways to attend the games, I've seen some of them attend it and they might have to go through some trouble in getting to their seats. That's definitely true, but a lot more people are paying a price for their convenience. What about people that lose their season tickets privileges? Isn't it the same thing, that on one hand we have regular season ticket holders, and on the other hand we have guys who are only able to go during those hours.
"In addition, it's not like by adding these seats, everybody else was banned. If the change was that only handicapped people could attend the games for the first quarter of each game, then yeah, I'd be singing a different tune."
if you lose your seats, you can't attend the game, you get nothing and it's the end of story. on the other hand, if they put aside some hours in a day, guys would be able to access the facilities other times, and it's not like the facilities is permanently made non-coed. if that's the case, then yeah, I'd sing a different tune too.
Everything I said here is a matter of opinion, it might change some time later, but right now that's how i feel. There's no grudge, or feeling of dissatisfaction, because life is , pretty unsurprisingly, unfair. I am sure at some point all of us would offend someone else, but I am pretty sure I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, and it just shows that we're engaging in a pretty intelligent conversation!
anyway kudos to Yost for bringing in a new perspective. In any case the thing has been put to rest for the time being.
I suppose the guy, although an asshole, did have a right to speak his mind, and none of us are obliged to read it, linger on about it. But regardless of whether we are on a wheelchair or not, we are all maize and blue, and we should help each other make our gameday experience better!

Why is that? I wasn't the one who brought up eating Wheaties and peeing - that was you. And I don't eat Wheaties - I prefer Rice Chex.
If you were speaking figuratively, then I believe the culprit who left the "cereal bowl between the urinals" was Yost since your little snide (which interrupted a perfectly intelligent non-"UM sucks! Haha!" conversation - as you are wont to do) resulted from his posting about the stadium capacity. In any event, I wouldn't pee in Yost's cereal if I were you.

Which of course are typical anecdotal references dredged up by certain folks for a temporary feeling of superiority.
My noise reference pertained to many a fine discussion on noise production in the big house with a little tweaking humor tossed in concerning the temporary loss of stadium capacity to of all people--Penn St. fans.
My Wheaties con ammonia reference is a hat tip to T-9 who likes to use the phrase when someone seems agitated over nothing. I have chosen to adopt its colorful image.

As someone married to a person who is in a wheelchair (but not being a Michigan fan), I can tell you that the reason the wheelchair seats may not have been "full" is that if the stadium wasn't real wheelchair friendly (restroom access, etc.), they would not bother coming.
Most folks who are in chairs would (a) prefer not to be in them, and (b) would appreciate the opportunity to do the same things that those not in chairs do.

I used to work for a guy in a chair. He was a potential D1 athlete until he hit a stump while skiing moguls. As an aside, I'm curious about the device that allows people in chairs to be lifted to the general eye level of people who stand. Had a gyroscope similar to that upright scooter thing (can't remember the name right now). I know Brian was excited by the news a few years ago and I recently saw an ad for it. Are you familiar with it?

A couple of points:
The Big House will always be the Big House. We're talking Michigan football here. The only time you'll hear about being number two is from some flamer with nothing substantial to say.
On the other hand, Penn State, Tennessee, and OSU have huge stadiums without legal issues regarding handicapped seating. Just play by the darn rules.
Making allowances for minorities is the price we pay for living in a democratic and open society. It may not always seem fair. But, it is right. Fair is often defined by teacher as everyone getting what they need rather that everyone getting the same.
Here's one for you Yost: Religion is not really a choice. It is a family legacy. We are born into a culture and family tradition. It is taught to us from birth. Assuming that you consider yourself a Christian, did you actually seriously consider any other faith along the way? In our society, most who choose something other than Christianity are looked down upon by family, friends, and neighbors. That Harvard story was a feature about one facility of many on one campus making allowances for a small group. If the words Muslim or Islam did not appear in that article, no one would have batted an eyelash.

I wholeheartedly agree that anyone that thinks this was a bad move on the U's part obviously has never known or been close to anyone with a handicap. It is a very respectable move on their part and I would feel honored to be a season ticket holder at such a fine University.

You guys all seem to want to take the high road on this one, but I think you are missing a larger point and the low road that got us here. The only reason there was a lawsuit against the U is because of a bloodsucking lawyer equivalent to an ambulance chaser. Sam Bernstein ( the scum bag on every other commercial break promising massive legals settlements for worthless losers ) and his son Richard brought this case to exploit an ADA regulation that in my experience has never been a problem at the Big House. Before the University announced it was going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on renovations, I can't recall hearing one single complaint about handicap access to the stadium - can you??? But once the dollars were exposed the scum bag blood sucking lawyers jumped into to get a piece of the pie! Honestly, someone please show me or point to a story of a handicapped person not be treated well at the Big House. And then tell me why we need to increase access by a multiple of 3! I'm all for equal access but this is coming at the expense of the majority for the sole purpose of creating legal fees for the most disgusting law firm in the state of Michigan.
Think about the thousands of people already on a season ticket waitlist that will no have thousands less seats to wait for... And also think about how much of the donations and contributions you make to the University were wasted on this frivolous suit - The plan had already called for improved handicapped access!

Frivolous or not handlejacker (Tom C the 2nd),
A. It's the law.
B. The improved access could lead to many more people who need them taking advantage of the access- we'll wait and see. If not, I would foresee plans being made in future years for use of those seats by the unimpaired.
C. If you'd like to discuss tort reform I'm all about it. And I agree that the suit is frivolous and probably money based, inspiried . Heck, I'll even trade attorney jokes with you. But whining b/c someone may have to wait longer for tickets to a stupid football game is ludicrous. Most people make choices in this lifetime and I don't know one person who's in a chair who chose to be there. If I have to wait a few more years so they have the opportunity I have than so be it.

I'm thinking it was a rather innocent person who happened to share your first name and last initial there Tom C. Handlejacking happens quite often over at MGoBlog, but there aren't any identifying avatars and such (pretty much). It usually involves humor of some sort such as
"Hey everyone- cookout at my place this weekend. I'll supply the souls of young puppies and the boosters will have grab bags full of cash."
-Jim Tressell
You know, something like that. Only that's way too realistic. It'd probably be more like...
"Blah blah blah, valid point, something that makes sense."

See, highly implausible things like that are always good comedy.

Shocking to find there is another Tom C in the world... no offense meant...
Anyway, Joshua tell me where in the law it says that the Big House has to have 329 handicap accessible seats??
It is pretty sad that we would so readily give up are status as the Big House because we are made to FEEL like we are doing something good and noble. Not that I'm against handicapped people going to games its just that I've never heard of any complaints previous to this lawsuit. The renovations already had massive improvements planned in terms of accessablity, wider aisles, etc.
There is nothing admirable or noble in disenfranchising alums on the wait list in favor of the few - especially when there are no facts or complaints on record to support such nonsense as a 3x increase in capacity.
If you are going to state "Its the LAW" know what the law is... in this case ADA calls for (roughly) 1% of capacity to be handicap. So if you want to stick to the law you should be fighting for more seats!!
We pay a terrible price for ignorance in the country and its sad my M friends buying in to the PC garbage that is ruining our country and now the Big House...
I'm all for a great game day experience for all who would like to go, but don't let PC run over the voice of reason...

Dearest Tom C of the no avatar:
"Anyway, Joshua tell me where in the law it says that the Big House has to have 329 handicap accessible seats??.....If you are going to state "Its the LAW" know what the law is... in this case ADA calls for (roughly) 1% of capacity to be handicap. So if you want to as stick to the law you should be fighting for more seats!!
First, the ADA DOES in fact call for roughly 1% of all seat to be handicap accessible. I knew this, but thanks for attempting to point it out in a condescending manner. The compromise which has been made calls for 329 seats to be available in the lower bowl, saving your "disenfranchised alumni" 746 seats that you didn't have to give up if we went "By the law". Granted another 200 are slotted to be available in club seating and suites, but I don't foresee those being more readily available to the impaired than they are to the general public. So what I should've said is: "It's the law to have 1% and we won't even have that. You should feel lucky the federal government didn't require more."
"It is pretty sad that we would so readily give up are (sic) status as the Big House because we are made to FEEL like we are doing something good and noble.....We pay a terrible price for ignorance in the country and its sad my M friends buying in to the PC garbage that is ruining our country and now the Big House...
You want to know what's truly sad Tom C? It's sad that I share an allegiance to the same team as an individual who compares the "terrible price of ignorance we pay in this country" to the idea that 229 more alums will have to wait for tickets. Do you not see the irony here? Your entire argument is
1. You never heard a complaint.
2. Political correctness has led to the the idea that people who are not as fortunate as you will be given an additional LESS THAN 1% of the seats in which to enjoy games at Michigan stadium.
A wise man once said "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." I see no malice in your statements, and reasoning with the stupid is an exercise in futility, so I'll simply exercise my right not to expend the energy on such ignorance.

Joshua, I looked up the word "incorrigible" in the dictionary. It was your picture. You are evil.
If by "incorrigible" you mean wickedly handsome and devilishly witty, then yes- your dictionary would be correct. (And I am evil. That's why the chicks dig me.)

Actually, I meant funnier than hell, but I digress.
Let's see if I understand. You are wicked and full of the devil and by your own admission evil. This is the new chick magnet? We're doomed I say, doomed.

Probably the reason handicapped access never came up before was because the stadium was probably grandfathered. The renovations they are doing pushed them over the edge.
As for the comparison to the muslim women and handicapped. The muslim women are physically able to use the gym whenever. A handicapped person is not able to. Also, ADA is the law. Sharia is not.
- March 17, 2008 11:12 PM

"Also, ADA is the law. Sharia is not."
Most pithy, Mikoyan, most pithy.
- March 17, 2008 11:21 PM
- Tom C said...
Probably that or the fact that there are only 53 season ticket holders in the handicap access...
Look ADA was adopted in 1990, the Big House was built in 1927 and more than 75% of the seats are below grade (without tunneling into the earth or completely rebuilding the stadium it would not be feasible to get wheelchair access). Bernstein had to know he would never win a lawsuit (especially because there is no demand to support it) but also knew he there are enough saps out there to feel sorry for the cause. Thus, he could delay constructing waiting for a hearing and put even more pressure on the U with negative press that would be sure to follow. So the U was forced to settle and give away the Big House.
Oh well, who wants to play in a "Big House" anyway. I guess I'll just wait for the next tradition to come around.

Just to add my $0.02, I'm 29 and disabled, partially paralyzed from the waist down, entirely from about the knees down. I've seen a lot of comments saying the handicap section is never full but in the games I've been to since my injury (OSU '07), (Wiscy, MSU the year before), I've never encountered a situation where the handicapped section (I usually end up in the south end zone to the east side of the middle) was NOT full.
If the letter writer could spend a week in the shoes of someone unable to walk it would change his perspective forever.

2012 season is coming soooooooooooo soon.
The season begins this week and I'm going to be honest…I haven't "fallen behind" on my blogging…I've simply been way too busy to blog. Props to Erik Jabs on his daily blog posts, and some other MLBlogs that have been keeping up with it this offseason. I probably won't make Top 100 this season like I did all of last year because detailed posts are going to be very hard to come by. This summer I will not only be taking on a schedule where I will try to squeeze 100+ games in (MLB+MiLB), but also working full time as a server at my local BWW and doing writing for Baltimore Sports Report.
I have been managing the Stevenson University baseball team where I am currently at school, mainly because it was too late for me to join the team by the time I transferred, so I may as well be paid to travel with the team now, right? Next season will be a whole other story.
I am now on Team iPhone, so feel free to always tweet at me @AviMiller621 (for baseball) or @2131andBeyond (for random shenanigans) and I'll always be tweeting along. Tweeting to me is like a basic version of blogging. I can put basic notes of my experiences on there, now easier with pictures and all, without having to spend time on the computer editing down photos and whatnot.
Speaking of, still waiting for a response from MLBlogs as to why there is a photo limit to the blogs. If they don't expand it for free, this blog will become quite dull with picture-less additions, especially when MLBlogs doesn't share revenue with its top writers, so it's not like I could use the money I make from here (which is equivalent to $0.00) to upgrade the system.
Working on my full season schedule, but will end up taking it month by month mostly, except for out of state trips which will be planned a bit more in advance.
Look for a post later today about my planning of the 2012 season!
