I was very surprised when they decided to have Seth fight Kimbo. He may not be well known, but he's a competent fighter with a couple decent wins (but little recognition). Exactly the kind of guy they should have kept Kimbo away from.

I wouldn't say Kimbo is overrated really, though - and least not by anyone who follows the sport. He's never been anything more than a promising beginner, and the poor performance against Thompson pretty much dashed any lingering thoughts about his potential.

If I was EliteXC, I'd see if I could schedule a fight with Tank Abbott. Meanwhile, I'd schedule another fight between some legitimate HWs, and have a championship fight.

Ron Paul on Foreign Aid: "What about this country?"

Helping Georgians or helping Americans is a false dichotomy, and is especially weak when you consider the cost of this effort opposed to, say, the war in Iraq. This idea of saving money through a more hands-off foreign policy is a strong point for Paul in general, but he's overworking it here.

Americans inability to find Georgia is immaterial, and I don't think he's going to get a lot of traction on the general idea of "let's not waste money by sending people humanitarian aid".

Now there's a more general point of "who should we be cheering for" in this, but Paul doesn't provide anything terribly convincing on this front. I've heard convincing arguments on both sides. Anyways, what I wish Paul had been asking was more pointed on this in particular - are we sure the Russians are the bad guys here?

Conan O'Brien - McCain's Straight Talk Express

Actually works for me, which is saying something. YouTube overall seems really flakely for me lately ("This video is no longer available" about 80% of the time).
