  1. Obama Warns Ukraine of ‘Consequences’ for Bloody Crackdown on Protesters -- You can hear the Ukrainians laughing at that over here on the East Coast.
  2. Being an environmental scientist in NC- your article rings true. The anti-science Republicans have taken revenge on 100 years of democratic dominance in NC. Their mantra is Jobs Jobs Jobs-- period. No matter what the cost to the environment - jobs at any cost. All of the regulations regarding fracking, off shore drilling and toxic remediation have been gutted. Professional and responsible state regulators fear for their jobs- politics trumps science. The damage being done by this truly feckless administration will be paid for by decades of contaminated water, air and soil. Such a beautiful State has been thrown to the Wolves of Wallstreet.
  3. Sorry about their luck but better safe than sorry I mean dead.
  4. Companies are not supposed to treat the American flag like the golden arches; it is not a logo to be used to sell merchandise. It is especially offensive when they imply that you are supporting a patriotic cause by purchasing a t-shirt or beach towel flag, then they will actually be spending the money at a garment factory sweatshop in Indonesia.
  5. Everyone still believes the official government conspiracy: that on the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with box cutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily-defended airspace in the world, overpowering the passengers and the military combat-trained pilots on 4 commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor.
  6. In the early 80's, I went skiing in Germany while I was stationed there. Halfway down, I wiped out. After I collected up skis and poles (and wits), I realized my sunglasses were gone. Shrugged, finished that run, went back up and wiped out again in the same spot. This time, when I dug the snow from my eyes, the first thing I saw was my sunglasses half-buried in the snow from my previous wipeout. I still chuckle when I think about it.
  7. He is sharp as a tack and lightning quick. He couldn't play that well if he weren't. I am proud of the fact that I knew a few that he did not, but most of the time he hits the answer before I can get my brain in gear.
  8. It's fascinating to see the whole fuselage buckle as the nose touches down.
  9. OK - But if he tours Canada, and starts covering Justin Bieber, he can stay there!
  10. So they've made 2 fake ones now? Lovely
  11. I still miss Irv ,I am glad life is going well for him He should do some local commercials just to let everyone know he is alive and well.
  12. Some people can be bought, some can't.
  13. I hope this high school never has to lay off a teacher or has to make budget cuts or removes a sports team.
  14. wonder if the teacher's union will "furiously" fight for his job?!?!
  15. Great decision. Shannon Sharpe got into it late in his career. I'm sure there are others, but that's the one that jumps to mind.
