    So after a long sordid tale of marijuana posession, dog fighting, and more marijuana consumption, Michael Vick gets almost two years in jail. His initial plea agreement would have given him a sentence of 12-18 months, but after he denied use of marijuana (and testing positive for it) while out...

    This Has NOT Been My Year for Medical Health!

    Alrighty, so I've had a few injuries this year. I'm not going to list them all, but I've gotten to know my orthopaedist(s) very well. My most recent injury takes the cake, though. About a month and a half ago, I had another mountain biking accident (for those of you who remember, I fractured...

    Chipping Away at the Right to Privacy in the US...

    Link Ya know...I'm pretty sick of hearing the excuse 'Well, we have to watch the big bad terrorists here in the US!!! They're sooooo EVIL.' Give me a damn break. These sorts of advances in domestic surveillance are prone to abuse, especially by local authorities. It's not that I trust federal...

    China Threat to US $ Plays into Hillary Clinton's Campaign

    This seems a little too well timed for Hilary Clinton's presidential bid for the White House if you ask me. Even as the article notes, it certainly plays into her campaign...nevermind the fact that the Chinese connection exploded with the arrival of Bill Clinton's administration. link opinions?

    Shrek the Third, Bitches!!!!!! With all the sarcasm, even kernow must approve.

    Alright, I've been looking forward to this for a while. Manipulative orange cats, loud mouthed donkeys, fast talking pinocchios, and a sarcastic ogre - what's not to like?!! I'm only a little worried this movie wont live up to my expectations (especially since I loved the first two). Anyone...

    New Grounds...New/Good Music not Promoted by Corporate Enterprise

    Alright, so I've been sick of listening to the radio for quite some time. Hell, who hasn't. I mean, if radio was the only option available, you might be tempted to think that all music genres are only slightly different than one another and the music within those genres sounded like a...

    Woo hoo for Car Payments...

    I'm pretty economical/sensible when it comes to cars. I've had a Honda Accord for the last four years or so, and I loved it. Sure. It wasn't the hottest car on the market, or the fastest, or hell...it wasn't even the most efficient, but it was a damn good car. Oh, and it was paid for. I'm...

    Embryonic Stem Cell Research Advances

    Heh, of all of the reasons listed not to federally fund the research, only one of them was logical (the question about twinning). I swear this is ignorance at its best and a damn good reason religion and legislation SHOULD be separate!

    Call it the Pissed Off Bumble Bee

    Ya know...If I weren't drunk, I'd be extremely pissed off...like I was right before I started drinking! I went and did some minor holiday shopping right before I went to dinner with my sister. However, while I was in the restaurant with my sis, someone broke one of the windows in my car out...

    I'm pretty happy about this nomination! She has a great record and would make an excellent justice, even though she hasn't had judicial experience. Miers, who has never been a judge, was the first woman to serve as president of the Texas State Bar and the Dallas Bar Association. I'm actually a...
