Alabama and Clemson remained locked into the top spots of the latest college football AP poll. The top ten are as follows:Alabama Clemson Notre Dame Michigan Georgia Oklahoma Washington State UCF LSU Ohio State Obviously, Alabama and Clemson aren’t going to be moving out of the top spots unless they lose. The Crimson Tide didn’t exactly impress anybody this weekend against The Citadel. In fact, they looked pathetic in the first half. There’s no excuse to be tied 10-10 at halftime with an FCS team.

Labor market picked up steam in November as U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs and jobless rate fell to 3.5%
The United States added 266,000 jobs in November as the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, reflecting a surge of strength in a labor market that has muscled through recession fears that flared over the summer. The data, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, handily beat expectations. Analysts had forecast roughly 180,000 new jobs for the month. The 3.5% unemployment rate is back at a 50-year low. The stock market roared higher on the news. White House said the labor market's renewed strength is evidence President Donald Trump's economic agenda is working and tried to dismiss the Democrats' impeachment push as a political sideshow. "I don't see any end to it right now," National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said Friday of the labor market run. "What I see is more strength." Markets rejoiced at the report, with the Dow Jones industrial average closing up more than 330 points, or 1.2%, on Friday.

Breaking decades of tradition, Boris Johnson wants to dodge tough interview with BBC’s Andrew Neil
LONDON - It is a tradition, and not a very pretty one, for candidates for high office in Britain to submit themselves to a grueling, often excruciating, one-on-one interview with BBC presenter Andrew Neil. It is a very British thing. Neil and his anxious quarry sit in facing chairs, the erudite, orotund-voiced, imposing BBC inquisitor holding in his fists sheafs of paper with lots and lots of uncomfortable facts. The 30-minute probes can be forensic, almost medical. They can also be a bit of a bear pit. But generally the interviews make for great telly, especially in the last days of an election. Now, bucking all precedent, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has canceled his appointment in the dentist chair with Neil. This has suddenly become a surprising, serious issue in the campaign. On Thursday night, Neil issued a remarkable, unprecedented on-air challenge to Johnson, and he did so on the state-supported BBC, where he suggested that Johnson might be a coward or a fabricator. "It is not … [Read more...] about Breaking decades of tradition, Boris Johnson wants to dodge tough interview with BBC’s Andrew Neil
