Part bad-ass spy thriller, part cautionary tale about the karmic wheel turning when you try to influence foreign matters to suit your interests...

In the GP I referenced immigration and that we don't REALLY care about it. This read does well to (1) make you sick about meat packing and (2) helps you to understand who mans that industry and why they are the perfect candidates to do it...

Hey boys. Hope all is well -- how is this forum working out? Sorry, I have pretty much no time to check anymore -- 3 months into the new job, working 60 hour weeks.
Things are good though! Coaching my kids soccer team, man we suck....

MAC's real reason for staying away is to help keep himself from breaking into a long, long list of godpunishing profanities whenever the subject of the Titans and 2011 first round draft choices come up.

Between Titans, Astros, Rockets and no college sports for 2+ months I'm pretty much at an all time sports low...

I agree Hizzy. So the school says they already have been given suspensions and scholastic punishment, whatever that means...what, no grading on a curve? Anyhow, they need to be kicked off the team. That's where it will really hurt.

I like him, but he screwed up by not reducing his own budget and by adding $150MM to the suburb schools after cutting some funding for the inner city schools.

Unfortunately, Congress consistently brings the Government to the edge of default before facing its responsibility. This brinkmanship threatens the holders of government bonds and those who rely on Social Security and veterans benefits. Interest rates would skyrocket, instability would occur in financial markets, and the Federal deficit would soar. The United States has a special responsibility to itself and the world to meet its obligations. It means we have a well-earned reputation for reliability and credibility—two things that set us apart from much of the world.”

They had some clown representative from Georgia on CNN last night acting like a irritable little boy and challenging people left and right, as if the world ends and begins with him.
I wanted to fling my poop at his bug eyes. Seriously, some of these dudes (dudettes) take themselves WAY too seriously.
The gist: "He (BHO) didn't give us a proposal for three months so now he can just pucker up and smooch my pooch."
Bitch please. Grow up.

OSLO, July 23 (Reuters) - A suspected right-wing fanatic accused of killing at least 92 people deemed his acts "atrocious" yet "necessary" as Norway mourned victims of the nation's worst attacks since World War Two.
Police were hunting on Sunday to see if a possible second gunman took part in the shooting massacre and bomb attack on Friday that traumatized a normally peaceful Nordic country.
In his first comment via a lawyer since he was arrested, 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik expressed willingness to explain himself in court at a hearing likely to be held on Monday about extending protective custody.
"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," lawyer Geir Lippestad told independent TV2 news.
Police said Breivik gave himself up after admitting to a massacre in which at least 85 people died, mostly young people attending a summer camp of the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party on an idyllic island.
Breivik was also arrested for the bombing of Oslo's government district that killed seven people hours earlier. Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail.
