...and here I was worried that you had shitcanned it!

Wait a minute, Four Aces. I think killers should be allowed here on a case by case basis. One never knows. A killer could have done so with good reason, in self defense, or in service to his country. And who among us has not killed a bug?

I agree. It's an incredibly bad idea.

Condolences to CharliePS, who was a'rootin for the Phillies. Now the only reason for me to watch the Series is to see more of Buster Posey, but frankly, I think I will find better things to do.

Strange things going on in Texas since they won! Watch the video: http://gawker.com/5671084/weather-penis-rams-through-southwest

At the moment I have MER all to myself. Well, at least Lucky's Place.

Self-sensitive reflection is what keeps us going here! I have never used twitter, but if you get this off the ground, what choice will I have?

Did Meg Whitman influence the authorities not to prosecute her son for rape? Or am I being harsh on her? http://gawker.com/5669754/the-rape-accusation-against-meg-whitmans-son-that-got-hushed-up And more: http://gawker.com/5669869/what-is-wrong-with-meg-whitmans-kids A sample: Griff's legal troubles continued even after the rape accusation. Shortly after the Princeton rape incident, Griff was back home in California when he was arrested for breaking a woman's ankle during a brawl at a bar. He was released after his mother posted $25,000 in bail and the charges were eventually dismissed. A political newcomer, Meg Whitman credits her late political awakening (she didn't register to vote until seven years ago) to her busy schedule: She was "focused on raising a family." And yet her two adult sons have been absent from her campaign, perhaps because both boys have faced their share of scandals. (Most recently, Griff's younger brother Will got into an altercation with a Princeton professor.) Since Meg lacks a political track record, many have looked to her tenure as CEO of Ebay to understand how she handles power. (Not always nonviolently, it seems: an eBay employee once accused Whitman of shoving her in a meeting.) The decision by Princeton officials to permit the son of one of its most prominent donors to remain in school following such serious allegations may raise questions about her influence at Princeton University, too. The family:

Well, duh, their is a twist here I was unaware of. The brother supposedly involved in narcotics is a prosecutor. Shouldn't he know better, without needing to be tipped off? And it looks like people were lining up to tip him off too, detectives included. they aren't family! http://www.courier-journal.com/article/2010310230027 Actually, it gets worse. The brother who was tipped off was given two days to clean up his house before it was searched, and he lied under oath in testimony on the subject. And, speaking of family, it appears that it was his ex-wife who dropped the dime on him!

My twittermeter went haywire!

Thus explains the reserved parking spot for Mr. Locke!

Yes, and with politicians involved, a Ralph Woods may be lurking too.

Gosh, MsGuy, you thought I'd read this thread? And then read this far? Well, I have another surprise for you. I understand perfectly why, if it indeed happened, the AG might tip a brother off about something he shouldn't do. It's called family, and even though he may know his duty is otherwise, he can't bear the thought of the brother getting in trouble. No doubt he works hard to straighten the guy out, assuming that he knew of the activity. As for voting, I always have to hold my nose. Twice, really, as the bf defers to me on most votes. I don't want to vote for most Democrats running for state office here. Gavin Newsom has shown incredible incompetence and lack of integrity ( he screwed his best friend's wife) so I probably won't vote for him for Lt. Gov, and the Democrat candidate for Attorney General seems to be a hack, but do I really want the ultra-conservative Los Angeles DA to be AG? On the other hand, I will gladly vote against Sonny Bono's widow, who inherited his Congress seat 12 years ago and has proven to be worthless, imho. She is being opposed by a gay man, the mayor of Palm Springs.

NPR Fires Political Analyst Juan Williams Over Muslim Comments

LOL...do you remember telling me that you liked it when people challenged you? I was just giving you what you want! -
Good job, Pauleiro. What is the secret of enticing posters to join in? Here you have sfcastro and tele5b joining in. Hopefully they will keep posting!

I enjoyed It's kind of A Funny Story. Friends were disappointed in the Hereafter, (the movie), so I skipped it.

In case you are unaware, David Murphy plays for the Rangers, but if this pic shows cum on his face, then he may play for us!

NPR Fires Political Analyst Juan Williams Over Muslim Comments
Lucky replied to TampaYankee's topic in The Beer Bar
On point 2, I am not calling you a misogynist. I am saying your remark is a bit misogynistic. "The woman is an idiot." There is some difference there. The fact that the person making the decision is a woman should really have no bearing on your opinion of what she did. That's the misogynistic part, or so I think. It just doesn't sound right when you phrase it like that. Here's a report on the case from a non-FOX viewpoint: NY Times Of the thousands of complaints that have saturated NPR in the wake of Juan Williams’s firing earlier this week, some of the most telling have been from callers describing themselves as long-time “viewers” of NPR who warn that they are going to “stop watching.” NPR, of course, does not have viewers, it has listeners. But the public radio organization has come under severe criticism — largely from people who are not listeners, it believes — for having fired Mr. Williams, an analyst who was employed by both NPR and Fox News when he said on Fox that he felt fearful when he saw people in “Muslim garb” on an airplane. Some have said his comment was bigoted, but others have rallied to Mr. Williams’s defense, and many conservatives have seized on his firing to resurrect their war against public broadcasting. In an interview on Friday, Vivian Schiller, NPR’s chief executive, defended the decision to dismiss Mr. Williams and said it was not the product of political or financial pressures. His contract was terminated, she said, because “he had several times in the past violated our news code of ethics with things that he had said on other people’s air.” On one such occasion last year, Mr. Williams said on Fox that Michelle Obama has “got this ‘Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress’ thing going,” an allusion to a leader of the black power movement of the 1960s. In each instance, Ms. Schiller said, “We called him on it, we had a discussion, we asked him not to do it again.” NPR’s ethics code states that journalists “should not express views” in other outlets, like TV shows, that “they would not air in their role as an NPR journalist.” People deserve second chances, Ms. Schiller said, but “we made the decision here because, at a certain point, if someone keeps not following your guidance, you have to make a break. And that’s what we did.” “And that is the sole reason,” she added. “This is not a First Amendment issue.” -
Brazil on a Budget - A Nutty TotallyOz Adventure

Such a mixed blessing. As much as I enjoy these reports, they are driving me nuts. To think that such fun exists on the same planet, yet I am so far away from it. Well, Oz is doing a good job of representing all of us there, but I wouldn't mind joining him and Tomcal! -

Epigonos, you sound like an Orange County Republican! A little misogynistic here... -
I agree, MsGuy, the Yankees did not play hungry. So, congratulations to the Texas Rangers, especially Ian Kinsler, Derek Holland, and Josh Hamilton. Can we all party together tonight?

Not me. Welcome to the male escort review forums. I hope to see more of you here! That's because I can't afford a trip to Sweden. Well, also because new posters here are most welcome.

Geez, that Joe Girardi should be fired. Walking Hamilton to pitch to Guerrero? Now we're behind 5-1. My guess is that hotels in New York will soon be inundated with cancellations for next week!
