Daddy's in Afghanistan,
Mama's eatin' brussels sprouts again.
Obama's taxin', spendin' ease,
Is selling us out to the Chinese.
All of this must be stopped
Before the Constitution bubble is popped.
But first I gotta get there.
I got the amniotic, claustrophobic blues.
Mr. Brown is best known for his close proximity to Reggie White during Super Bowl XXXI (Green Bay 35, Losers 21), and for his trademark post-tackle gravedigger dance, which he is performing above.
Mr. Brown retired from football in 2003, after a very successful career. Today, he misses football and aspires to become a head coach in college. He realizes, of course, that despite his previous experience as a player he still has to put in his time and pay some dues in the coaching world. So he’s paying those dues the hard way: in the Lingerie Football League.
Potato growers are fighting back against efforts to ban or limit potatoes in federal child nutrition programs, arguing the tuber is loaded with potassium and vitamin C and shouldn’t be considered junk food.Idahoans have been using RPP's (rocket propelled potatoes) to attack other states. They have been accused of firing potatoes over the Dakotas into eastern Minnesota. Because of the high heat produced by their travels, the potatoes were turned into french fries and landed in a junior high cafeteria. Washington is outraged.
I want to thank you all for inviting me to speak. It was especially gracious of you to host me, even though I’m a Packers fan and I assume most of you are Bears fans," Ryan began.And Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Matt Canter performed a preemptive strike at Tommy Thompson's potential Senatorial run:
"But that doesn't mean we can't work together. As chairman of the House Budget Committee, I stand ready to do whatever it takes to help you re-sign Jay Cutler. I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not," he continued.
"Republicans would be better off with Jay Cutler as their candidate in Wisconsin. Cutler has at least helped the Green Bay Packers win a Super Bowl, while Tommy G. Thompson has spent the last decade doing the bidding of the Bush administration and his special-interest clients at his lobbying firm,"Now THAT'S bipartisan support!
The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn on charges of sexually assaulting a hotel cleaning woman in New York City is a personal humiliation for the French politician, but it is also a black mark on the International Monetary Fund that chose to overlook his previous sexual behavior.[...]Social Justice dictates:
[...]The charges are roiling France, where Mr. Strauss-Kahn was the favorite to be the Socialist nominee for President next year and was even leading in the polls against Nicolas Sarkozy.[...]
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularised by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program. The phrase summarizes the principles that, in a communist society, every person should contribute to society to the best of his or her ability and consume from society in proportion to his or her needs. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs.He had needs, she had abilities. As a member of the elite among humanity, Mr. Strauss-Kahn is morally entitled to do to the masses whatever his desires dictate without consent from any lesser human. Ask President Obama or the Indiana Supreme Court.
Hence modernity's first great attempt to define itself: and "age of reason" emerging from and overthrowing an "age of faith." Behind this definition lay a simple but thoroughly enchanting tale. Once upon a time, it went, Western humanity was the cosseted and incurious ward of Mother Church; during this, the age of faith, culture stagnated, science languished, wars of religion were routinely waged, witches were burned by inquisitors, and Western humanity labored in brutish subjugation to dogma, superstition, and the unholy alliance of church and state. Withering blasts of fanaticism and fideism had long since scorched away the last remnants of classical learning; inquiry was stifled; the literary remains of classical antiquity had long ago been consigned to the fires of faith, and even the great achievements of "Greek science" were forgotten till Islamic civilization restored them to the West. All was darkness. Then, in the wake of the "wars of religion" that had torn Christendom apart, came the full flowering of the Enlightenment and with it the reign of reason and progress, the riches of scientific achievement and political liberty, and a new and revolutionary sense of human dignity. The secular nation-state arouse, reduced religion to an establishment of the state or, in the course of time, to something altogether separate from the state, and thereby rescued Western humanity from the blood-steeped intolerance of religion. Now, at last, Western humanity has left its nonage and attained to its majority, in science, politics, and ethics. The story of the travails of Galileo almost invariably occupies an honored place in this narrative, as exemplary of the natural relation between "faith" and "reason" and as an exquisite epitome of scientific reason's mighty struggle during the early modern period to free itself from the tyranny of religion. This is, as I say, a simple and enchanting tale, easily followed and utterly captivating in it explanatory tidiness; its sole defect is that it happens to be false in every identifiable detail. (Italics mine)Hart does an excellent job of debunking the popular narrative concerning 'faith vs. reason' that is so widely espoused these days without whitewashing Christendom's faults.
[...] At 1:46 AM local time we crashed through the door of Osama's bedroom. Smith yelled, "Freeze! Osama Bin Laden, you are under arrest. You..."
Bin Laden moved toward a bedside table. Smitty fired a warning shot. It missed, striking Bin Laden between the eyes.
"You have the right to remain silent."
Bin Laden complied and was buried at sea.
As we’ve established, OBL must be dead. How awful would it be for him to re-emerge now? How incompetent would an administration have to be to trumpet his death before he’s actually dead?There really may be something to the rumor that Osama bin Laden remains among the living.
