Nobody with a ( D ) or ( R ) next to their name is ever going to bring change to Washington. One would hope that the drooling masses have figured this out by now given what has transpired between "hope and change" in '08 to what we are now saddled with.

From the email I received from Rush:
Additional cities and dates to be announced. Itinerary subject to changeAs of now there are no NC dates. The always play either Charlotte or Raleigh, sometimes both.

I hope they can sell it out. We already know that they have trouble selling out Stanley Cup Finals games down here.

I'm coaching my son's t-ball team. We have our third practice tonight. I am one of three coaches so we try to split the kids up into smaller groups to better keep their focus. So far all the kids have been good at picking up running the bases, but they are all at different levels when it comes to hitting and catching. You'll have a blast coaching the kids. We keep the drills short, and the practice is only one hour. We begin and end with running the bases as that seems to be what they enjoy most at this point.
Someone mentioned arguing with the umpires, not that it would really happen at this level, but the coaches in our league are prohibited from leaving the dugout to talk to the umpire. Also there is a 24 hour rule for parents to discuss any issues they may have with the coaches, that is they can't berate us during or after the game about their son or daughter, they have to wait until the next day to call or email as a "cooling off" period.

If you have a company sponsored 401k with a match and you aren't at MINIMUM contributing to the match then you are, in 99.9% of cases, an idiot. That's essentially saying 'no thank you' to free money, not to mention all the tax benefits as well. I work for a fortune 500 company with about 27,000 employees, at a retirement planning seminar a few years ago it was revealed that less than half the employees even contribute to the company 401k. Morons.

That's why my father told me at age 18 that if I ever got a motorcycle and brought it into his driveway he'd take it apart with a baseball bat (he had an old HS friend get into a bad wreck on one some many years ago.) I know motorcyclists love their bikes, but reading the stats on injuries/fatalities on them is downright scary. I have another friend who was involved in an accident with one and the driver of the bike was killed (he skidded out and hit the rear end of her car).
All that said, I, too, wish him nothing but the best as he goes forward.....
My wife used to work as a nurse at ECMC and would take care of trauma patients. All the motorcycle accident victims she saw really made an impression and she told me if I ever got on one she would be gone. That's terrible what happened to Matt Stevens, but it sounds like he has a positive outlook and supportive family. I wish him and his family the best.

To quote Ronald Reagan: "This is what this election is about: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves."
He could easily deliver it today.
Awesome. Thanks for posting that.

Yes we've finally tied the knot! We even "Pinky Swore" before King Henry VIII!!! And as you probably can imagine, the many photos, videos, and good cheer I have to share about this wonderful day is enough to push all of our computers into overload! After more than a year of considering possibilities from grand halls to a simple back yard affair, we finally decided to have our blessed day in a magical forest, where the annual Tampa Bay Renaissance Festival is held. Here we have already spent many wonderful days with friends, and it seemed the natural and perfect setting for us. So here, below is your 'Virtual' invitation! In each page, you'll find another part of the day, complete with photos, slide shows, and flash videos
That is indeed disturbing, but I'm more curious to find out what it was that compelled you to visit pixyland outside of the fake link gag?

Who is Stern to comment on peoples' looks? He is one of the ugliest human beings alive. I used to like Stern and don't mind him but his career is made off making fun of dysfunctional people and pornstars. At least this girl will be remember for being great in a movie that moved a lot of people.
I don't think a show has gone by in the past two decades where Howard hasn't mentioned how hideous he looks or what a mess he is. His show is about brutal honesty and Howard often turns that microscope upon himself.

Off the top of my head the only decent green bottle beer that I can think of is Pilsner Urquell.
No green or clear bottled beer will be good unless it's protected from light from brewery to your glass.

Per TSN, Buff gets 3rd and 4th rounders from Atl.
Now get Kaberle!!
I thought Kaberle said yesterday that he will not waive no trade clause? I think Corvo is more of a possibility.

That was great. I expected Miller to get some love, but I have to admit that reception coming from Pens fans surprised me.
And then the Sabres came out and played without a pulse...again. Almost every year we hope for Darcy to infuse this team with some legitimate help on deadline day and nothing of substance happens. The usual suspects will be the buyers today. You know who they are, the teams that win cups.

Pooj,
Find a place that serves Pliny The Elder from Russian River. Philly is the only city east of Colorado that they distribute this beer to. It is the quintessential double IPA, absolutely fantastic. According to this link, there are four pubs that currently serve it in Philly.

The one eyed thing ain't all it's cracked up to be. Trust me.

I have a similar device that I use on the fire pit at the man cave in my backyard. I use it to grill steaks and burgers, but I use my Weber smoker more often for cooking ribs, butts and briskets.

This was the first Sabres-Hurricanes game in Carolina that I have missed since the lockout. I was at the 2006 playoff games, and while I did witness some poor fan behavior from Sabres fans, I also saw Canes fans responding in kind. I think Canes fans are way too thin skinned when it comes to opposing fans and the tall tales of Sabres fans tearing down the RBC center in 2006 have gotten way out of control. I don't hear constant whining and complaining from Sabres fans when drunk Leaf fans invade HSBC every year.

Did they hand out 'fan behavior' cards again for this game?

Market risk is significantly minimized if you are selling books rather than buying stocks.
Who said anything about not buying stocks?

Many people have lost and made alot from speculating.
Absolutely. I have speculated in the market myself in the past, but only after I have fully funded my retirement investment vehicles for the year.

Funny, coming from a guy who wrote a book called The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio
Recognizing that you can't predict the markets is the first step towards becoming a successful investor. Speculating isn't investing.

I'm mildly impressed, actually. I think BH is actually a very, very good troll. It doesn't take a lot of skill to create a thread knowing that you'll incite an immediate response from ten people mocking you. It does however, take skill to do it time after time, with them still taking you seriously. BH is the boy who cried wolf's idol.
blzrul has also mastered this skill.

I thought it was more specifically that the US does not persecute homosexuals, so soldiers dying in wars, mining accidents and the like is our comeuppance from God.
