Are there any Americans even riding this year, or did they all get suspended when they rolled over on Lance?

Steve of phpBB

It'll be good to get Gil back, anyway.

All those functions involve contracts. Sure, government is involved in contract law. You get married, you draw up a contract. Or not. Your choice, not government's choice that 'once you are married, you are subject to this contract we have designated for you'. One filled with gaps, loopholes, and i...

Three game same-sex marriage Californian sweep. See ya' in Fogtown on the 5th, 6th and 7th. (Wow, thread drift) Don't we have threads for sports and stuff? Yeesh. Anyway, I don't see how government could ever get out of the marriage business. As long as people tend to pursue paired relationships, t...

While you may respect his opinion nowhere did I see SportsDoc indicate that he thinks some/any abortions should be legal. Which means it sounds like he IS in favor of imposing his religious and moral principles on the majority of Americans who support legal and safe access to abortions. He may be. ...

RSL hosting Carolina in about 40 minutes. Thanks to the Hawks winning Monday, I'm finally able to make a game.

Tix must be a hard sell. We have sixth-row seats in the shade for 25 bucks. And free hot dogs too.

DFA'd.

I assume this is the point where the Yankees pick him up and he becomes the next Mariano Rivera?

Steve of phpBB

Holy shit that was awesome.

My ADHD son actually watched the last two minutes with me, too. Sweet.

Steve of phpBB

I think that if the Hawks win, it'll be my 11th championship as a fan (thanks, Michael).

This includes an NASL title in 1982 and MLS in 2009.

Just curious how that stacks up. If there are any Yankees/Man U fans, they'd have a bunch.

Steve of phpBB

No such laws here.

Ha!

Great. Yay higher insurance premiums! I would love for the existence of a different and better mechanism to prevent and punish 1) negligence in medical care; 2) lying and covering up the facts of negligence from patients and the public. Ideally, doctors and medical institutions would surveil, polic...

Hopefully the Hawks will do better than we did. Fucked to the tune of $12 million.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Steve of phpBB

This is brutal.

The only highlight of the past few weeks is that I have missed all the latest Obama surveillance scandals.

Steve of phpBB

I'm making my move ...

Steve of phpBB

Glad to hear it turned out ok, Rass.

Steve of phpBB

The Hawks have a new lease on life, but it'll be tough.

It always looks like they are skating uphill.

Steve of phpBB

Exciting hockey for a neutral observer (me). Your trial going ok? I know you have busy, with all the shit I've talked about Obama this week, yet no measured, rational retort from you. Hope you win, hope the hawks win. (ok, not perfectly neutral; I like the sweaters.) Trial seems to be going ok, tha...

Steve of phpBB

Well, I guess I don't have to worry about losing the lead any more. Fuck.

Steve of phpBB

I don't know if I can take 20 minutes more of this.

As Syb alluded to, I wear a suit for camouflage. I don't want my clothes to be noticed when I'm in court.

All my suits are from the Men's Wearhouse. I'm not going to look that good no matter what I wear, so why fight it?

Steve of phpBB

Grrr.

Here I sit at my desk, preparing for the last day or two of my trial, with four unused and free tickets to the game sitting in my top drawer.

Grrr.

Its also a good idea to call your bank or Credit Card company to let them know you are traveling overseas. It would suck for the folks at American Express (or wherever) to suddenly start seeing charges from England and think "hey, his card must have been stolen" and shut it down. Like you...

Steve of phpBB

Hot damn! Listening to Pat Foley call last night's ending was the best way I can think of to cap off 15 hours in the office on a Saturday.

Steve of phpBB

Fucking god dammit.

No. Matzah is a Hebrew word and ball is not.

Yiddish, Hebrew. As long as you've got your health.

Hell, George Bush got a pass on drug use and irresponsibility on the ground that he was young and stupid - when he was 40.

Steve of phpBB

I don't think I lost any more players.

But the playoffs are 80% finished.

Steve of phpBB

I saw two problems. Granted a little bit of homerism but... 1) Saad appeared to do very little to instigate that, then got shoved into the bench, then got thrown to the ice, then threw a punch as the Wing's player was on top of him. If you want to call that offsetting, well you're wrong, but even i...

The guy fatally shot by the FBI last week while being interviewed about Tsarnaev-related activities was apparently unarmed at the time of the shooting.

Here we are. LA vs Chicago starts Saturday afternoon Boston vs Pittsburgh starts Saturday night And LA vs Chicago continues Sunday evening. That's a brutal start. I would generally think this favors the Hawks because they are pretty deep this year, but the way they were dragging around the ice toni...

Steve of phpBB

Fucking A.

I have a three-week trial starting Tuesday, so I haven't seen any of the games of this series until now. And I don't know if I'll be able to watch any time soon. So I'm really glad I could watch this one start to finish:

Steve of phpBB

Fuck that. It's basically a technical foul, you don't blow the whistle as the play is developing.

Steve of phpBB

I'd feel better if the Hawks didn't look so shitty.

Edit: Is Toews even playing?

Steve of phpBB

Is this supposed to be taken in the same context as a White American kid calling a Black American man an "ape"? If so, it's worth remembering that Australia ain't America and Aboriginal-Australian ain't African-American. I don't think the comparison really should be to America, because th...
