  1. wait just a doggone minute - i thought terry francona was the best manager to walk the surface of the earth.
  2. wow, the people at bohemian grove really wrote an interesting script for her.
  3. i didn't know stickboy had a sock and jocks drawer.
  4. "“How can this happen?” Ms. Hinders said in a recent interview. “Who takes your money before they prove that you’ve done anything wrong with it?” The federal government does. Using a law designed to catch drug traffickers, racketeers and terrorists by tracking their cash, the government has gone after run-of-the-mill business owners and wage earners without so much as an allegation that they have committed serious crimes. The government can take the money without ever filing a criminal complaint, and the owners are left to prove they are innocent. absolutely, positively unethical and immoral. in reading more of the article, you see where the gov't has offered settlements for substantially less than they've confiscated, making the whole thing even worse. unbelievable.
  5. PACs seems like a sneaky way of saying "we get to play by a different set of rules than you pedestrians."
  6. 1. i'm teaching it as a history class and from a historical perspective, not as a religious class. 2. i work in a parochial school. i can get away with it whereas a public school teacher may not be able to use the same approach.
  7. here's my idea. let athletes be paid for selling their autograph or let them be paid for each jersey of theirs that is sold. figure out an agreed upon wage for all of them so it's reasonably fair. put the money in some kind of trust fund, and then once they leave school, write them a check with interest.
  8. we stacked the deck and got away with it. for $5000 i can show the rest of you how it's done. cash only, in small, unmarked, non-consecutive bills, please.
  9. first time the kings have gone 6-0 on a homestand, also.
  10. the 70s line looks incredible. pearson's speed is insane. his first goal today was so fun to watch. jonathan quick is the best goalie in the world, hands down. the injury to foligno was so innocuous looking. at first we thought he had just taken a dive, but it became pretty clear pretty quickly that it was something serious. the mood turned to somber inside. hearing he's going to be okay, but no details yet. kopitar went out with an upper body injury but reports after the game say it doesn't look serious.
  11. absolutely terrible news. my best friend is a cards fan. this'll be pretty upsetting.
  12. big overreaction by the parent. if you're going to teach what islam is, then you need to include what their belief system is like. this is not a method of promoting islam to the students as what they should believe. it's merely showing what it is that muslims believe. i teach the same thing in my classroom in 7th grade.
  13. i'm not sure sushi and prison should be used together in the same sentence.
  14. _____ reported to camp in the best shape of his life.
  15. he's a raiders fan, strads. i'm helping society.
  16. going with my brother today, first game of the season for me. found two tickets for $56, and that was pretty hard to turn down.
  17. first comment: "I feel like this will trace back to Elisha Cuthbert."
  18. aw.com always runs slow on days when mrs. stevestevens is giving birth to multiples. we should all be used to this by now.
  19. no seriously, i deleted all those pictures, honey.
  20. so, too late to vote for jean shorts and a polo with a popped collar? bummer.
  21. "By 2007, there were 100,000 private security contractors in Iraq. 1,000 of them were Blackwater guards on a $1 billion contract to protect US diplomats. In August 2007, State Department investigators traveled to Iraq to review Blackwater's contract. They uncovered substantial evidence of misconduct, but Blackwater turned on them, with Blackwater's project manager in the country all but threatening to kill one of the investigators.An embassy staffer kicked the investigators out of the country so Blackwater didn't get even angrier." wow.
