Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Which I'm sure you already knew about, but I'd though I'd alert you to the imminence of Gerard Way.

I might actually have to go to MySpace for those sweet little nerds.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can see why the NFL would consider gambling a very grave sin. Gambling poses more of a threat to the integrity of the game with the risk that a player may tailor a performance to win a bet.

Running a dogfighting ring is certainly despicable. But barring blackmail threats from someone threatening to expose the ring (and that's a risk with any criminal activity -- or even anything legal but embarrassing), it isn't likely to affect a player's performance.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

MySpace isn't toooooo bad. Its rep is much worse than the actuality of it, I think. (My gods, it's the Starla of the internets!) It all depends on who you've friended.

I can't get into the site, but I'm curious as to the Raider's standings....

Ah yes, Rae Carruth. I'd have to do some looking, but I don't recall the league jumping on him until they were pushed either, though.

This is true. All my friends are people I know or "know"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

CNN has some additional quotes from the NAACP guy:

White also said he didn't understand the uproar over dogfighting, when hunting deer and other animals is perfectly acceptable.

Nutty! Is that "tu quoque"? Have I learned the correct Latin at your knee?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

White also said he didn't understand the uproar over dogfighting, when hunting deer and other animals is perfectly acceptable.

While I like neither, one is actually, ya know, fucking LEGAL.

Right. I'm also not a huge fan of hunting, but at least some of the time, it provides *food* for people. As opposed to dog-fighting, which provides cheap and cruel thrills for assholes.
