Investing in young, Latin American baseball players seems like it might be a fun way grow your money. Has to be more interesting than mutual funds anyways. However, it seems as though the young players are often being trained in prison like conditions.
Huh? Bacon helps control epilepsy significantly. I already knew it significantly controlled how awesome a breakfast was.
I initially became suspicious when the label on the box read " Nirkes ".
More on Steelers kicker Jeff Reed getting the ahem... boot. Personally, I think he's been pretty lackluster the past two seasons. Granted, he's a kicker but lets review this um...I'll be charitable and call it an "attempt at a tackle" from last year.
Is he trying to tickle the man?
This is really, really good news. I rarely have anything positive to say about the Justice Department. Really. Zilch. But this is absolutely a turn in the right direction. Attorney General Eric Holder is reversing the policy of waivers on DNA testing. This was a policy under the Bush administration. Essentially, in exchange for a lighter sentence on a guilty plea, people gave up the right to seek exonerating DNA tests after the trial. Bear in mind, that when facing the death sentence for example, innocent people will at times plead guilty in order to get a lighter sentence and possibly save their lives.
"It never made any sense to force people, as a condition of a plea, to give up their right to future DNA testing, particularly since we know that factually innocent people plead guilty,'' said Peter Neufeld, co-founder of the Innocence Project. While few federal prisoners have sought post-conviction DNA testing, in part because of the waiver policy, Neufeld expects that number to rise.
Steve Benjamin, a Richmond lawyer who is vice president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, called Holder's decision "a no-brainer. There should never be any bar to a person's ability to establish their innocence.''
So, I rarely get to say this but: Nice job, Justice Department! Way to...you know...work for justice!
Why are the Beatles only being digitally distributed now? That's just baffling to me. As a result, I haven't really looked at their arrival on iTunes that much. It's sort of like reading an article about your dad replacing his rotary phone. However, here are some reasons why it matters.
Jesus... Imagine what will happen if her mother runs for President?
I've spoken on this before but just a reminder: Next Wednesday is National Opt Out Day. If anybody is planning on flying, I urge you to just say "no" to the invasive and humiliating procedures the TSA is inflicting upon us. In the event that you're flying with young children, I really can't tell you how to explain to them why the stranger is allowed to touch them intimately. Hopefully, this post will help somewhat.
After all, we're Americans. Saying "no" to authority is what we do best.
Sarah bait: Here are the finalists for this years Bad Sex in Literature Award!
Organisers said the award was given to ''draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it.''
My throbbing manhood tingles with anticipation.
And finally...
This is what happened over the past 24 hours.
Woof! Long post. If you're read this far, you get a cookie!
