A House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to determine its national champion, over the objections of some lawmakers who said Congress has meatier targets to tackle.
The bill, which faces steep odds, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national championship unless it results from a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in a House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with one audible “no,” from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.
Damn, this album sucks I’m not even going to continue. I think I saw a song on here called “No Man Is An Island” and for that I give it some props. Maybe it is just these first two songs that are bad so don’t judge my judgment. I’m just telling you what I’m feeling.

The head of the World Meteorological Organization, a United Nations weather agency, said Tuesday that the past ten years will “very likely” turn out to be the warmest decade on record going back to 1850.
Michel Jarraud, the WMO’s secretary general, added that 2009 will likely be about the fifth-warmest year on record.
The WMO released its findings on the second day of the Copenhagen climate conference.
Delegates at the 192-nation conference, which opened Monday, are trying to reach a new agreement on controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
Title: Pirate Radio (US); The Boat That Rocked (UK) Production Company: Working Title Films Release: 2009
Pro’s: Great music, generally good acting, the women who arrive on board, famous females appearing from famous songs (So Long Marianne and Eleanor Rigby).
Con’s: The whole plot about the government trying to abolish pirate radio
Overall: Pretty great movie from music and sub-plot standpoints. Unfortunately, the main plot and the ending kind of blew. This is probably one of the best I’ve seen in 2009…keep in mind I haven’t seen that many.

Representatives from about 200 countries are present in Copenhagen, Denmark for talks on climate change that are scheduled to start today.
The summit, which is being called the 15th Conference of Parties, will center around discussions of a new international climate accord, and is the largest global meeting on the environment since the 1997 Kyoto Accords.
Climate change and the questionable effects of human-produced greenhouse gasses are both being investigated, as there is still wide spread skepticism about their effects on the planet. Recent controversies relating to these subjects promise to make a global agreement that much more difficult to reach.
Several thousand e-mails stolen from Climactic Research Unit (CRU) at the University at East Anglia in the United Kingdom have ignited even further debate on the validity of claims that the Earth’s climate is warming because of human action. These e-mails have been cited by those who question the availability of raw data and how easily research can be manipulated to point to global warming.
They opened for King Khan & BBQ Show…but only for a few weeks worth of dates. They are playing at TT The Bears on February 4! I recommend checking out some of their live videos in addition to this music vid, which bears at least some resemblance to the Black Lips’ style.
