Can the guy help us beat Florida?

As [University of Georgia Defensive Coordinator] Todd Grantham gets re-acquainted with the recruiting trail, he has developed a pretty central philosophy:

“The first thing I ask is: Can the guy help us beat Florida,” Grantham, the Georgia defensive coordinator, said on Wednesday. “I mean truthfully, because that’s who we have to beat to win the SEC. And off the guys that I feel like we’re recruiting and have committed to us, I can say yes off of that. So I’m really excited off those guys.”

But what about South Carolina – which won the division this year and might be the favorite next year?

“I’m playing percentages,” Grantham said.

(Or perhaps Grantham is still riled that Steve Spurrier took a dig at him earlier this year. But I’ll take him at his word.)

Interesting Quotes On Internet Censorship

The British organization Index on Censorship has some interesting quotes on internet censorship, especially considering the current crisis over leaked diplomatic cables.  My favorite:

The more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves.

I can tell you that in the United States, the fact that we have free internet — or unrestricted internet access is a source of strength, and I think should be encouraged.

Can you guess who said that?

President Barack Obama.

Compare those words to the notice from the White House to ban federal employees from reading WikiLeaks (the military has warned soldiers it is illegal to read WikiLeaks without clearance).  Is it now illegal to read the New York Times, which has published cables?
