cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner

A squib in the morning Journal Sentinel mentioned that the Justice Department says it will review the legality of the Bowl Championship Series.

Any civil court venue stateside will be potentially problematic beyond the simple discussion of affordability. It will be a magnet drawing terrorists like bugs to the light.
