What the hell is the matter with congress? (Rhetorical question.)
Can some PLEASE explain to me how congress has any authority to "investigate" baseball or professional wrestling?
Terry found himself trading verbal smackdowns with professional wrestler and promoter Vince McMahon.
Commissioners of the major professional sports leagues and players associations testified Wednesday before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee about their efforts to combat steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.
Subcommittee Chairman Bobby Rush, D-Ill., said he was disappointed that McMahon had turned down an invitation to appear at the hearing.
Then Terry jumped into the ring and sought to put a congressional body slam on the absent, muscle-bound wrestling magnate.
"Mr. Chairman, you rightfully called out Vince McMahon," Terry said during the hearing. "Someone that flips his finger at this committee or at Congress deserves to be called out."
And then this idiot Bobby Rush in Ill, says that Vince "flips his finger at this committee." Flipping his finger at what?
Again, what do drugs in baseball or wrestling have to do with our country or constitution?
Vote these crooks out! Each and everyone one of them.
McCain accidently calls himself a liberal. That is SO funny!
"I'm a proud conservative liberal republic -- conservative Republican. Hello, easy there. Let me say this. I am a proud conservative Republican and both of my possible or likely opponents are liberal Democrats."
Somebody at work gave me a 128M flash drive that my PS2 can read. So now my Fire Pro Wrestling Returns includes all of the original guys, plus the entire 1988 WWF roster, and the 1998 ECW and WCW rosters.
With The Smurfs - Season One, Vol. One being released, I thought I check out on how many season there were. There were nine! I had no idea.
Anyhow... I never knew that the Smurfs were created in 1958 and had a Belgium comic in 1963 and had a black and white movie, The Adventures of the Smurfs in 1965.
Some of the comics were used as storylines for the cartoon in the 1980's. Click on the wiki link for summaries of everything.
LOS ANGELES -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. will earn a record $20 million for his first professional wrestling match next month.
The undefeated WBC welterweight champion will take on Paul "Big Show" Wight as part of WWE's "WrestleMania XXIV" at Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., on March 30.
I have a great game called Fire Pro Wrestling Returns on PS2. It's, like, the most customizable wrestling game ever.
I need to be able to download created characters from the Internet and load them into my PS2 so that I can do cool stuff like this, this, and this.
It's a lot more complicated than you would think. First, you need to download the files. Then you need to transfer them to your PS2 memory card. It overwrites your current save, so you need to have another memory card to back it up to, and then transfer it to the original memory card.
So after lying to my wife and saying that I was going to the gym after work, I bought a PS2 Action Replay Max with 16MB Memory which (in theory) allows you to copy files from a USB flash drive to a PS2 memory card.
The CD luckily loaded on my PS2. So people were having lots of trouble with that. It recognized the flash drive, but it couldn't see any data on it. I read that it is pretty common for drives that are 1 Gig or more. In fact, most sites recommend a flash drive with only 128 MB.
None of the flash drives lying around my house or office, including our iPods are less than 1 Gig. So if anyone has a smaller one I could borrow and try out, let me know.
If it works, I'll let you come over and play this, this, and this.
Here's some good quotes from Rush about the bogus hit-piece on McCain from that left-wing tabloid, The New York Times.
"The story is not the story," he said today. "The story is the Drive-By Media turning on its favorite maverick trying to take him out.
"The New York Times endorsed that candidate while they sat on this story, and now with utter predictability, they are trying to destroy him. This is what you get when you walk across the aisle and try to make these people your friends," Limbaugh said.
"Why should any of us be surprised or even angry at what the New York Times is doing here trying to take out John McCain? Those of you who listen regularly should have been expecting this all along because it's utterly predictable," he said.
"It's as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. It's as predictable as Ted Kennedy finding a bar at happy hour," Limbaugh said.
The more significant issue, he said, is whether McCain is going to "learn the right lesson."
"The lesson is liberals are to be defeated. You cannot walk across the aisle with them ... You cannot welcome their media members on your bus and get all cozy with them and expect eternal love from them. You are a Republican. Whether you're a conservative Republican or not, you are a Republican. At some point, the people you cozy up to, either to do legislation or to get cozy media stories, are going to turn on you. They are snakes."
"We simply felt the need to express our heartfelt sympathy for the Republican Party as they undergo this tough time within their party," says Libertarian Party National Media Coordinator Andrew Davis, who delivered the wreath. ... Libertarians encourage competition within both the free-market and politics. Unfortunately, with the rise of John McCain and the big-spending practices of the Bush administration, the two-party system has emerged as representing only one philosophy - big-government liberalism.
With your loss, the Libertarian Party will continue to move forward to represent those American patriots who still believe in smaller government, lower taxes and more individual freedom.
"Gigantism is very common in Antarctic waters," Martin Riddle, the Australian Antarctic Division scientist who led the expedition, said in a statement. "We have collected huge worms, giant crustaceans and sea spiders the size of dinner plates."
The specimens were being sent to universities and museums around the world for identification, tissue sampling and DNA studies.
"Not all of the creatures that we found could be identified and it is very likely that some new species will be recorded as a result of these voyages," said Graham Hosie, head of the census project.
The movie we've all been waiting for is finally here. I just bought it today, so I'll post some thoughts after I watch it.
I'm very happy to see that they are planning on one movie for each book Chronicles and each book of Legends instead of trying to cram each series into a movie.
It's also reported that George Bush will ask Pope Benedict, "Are you saved?"
Ha! That never gets old...
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI will visit the White House on April 16 during his first visit to the United States as pontiff.
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said the president and the pope would continue discussions they began during Bush's trip to the Vatican in June 2007 on the importance of faith and reason in reaching shared goals.
Stanzel said the goals include advancing peace throughout the Middle East and other troubled regions, promoting interfaith understanding and strengthening human rights and freedom.
The pope was also expected to address the United Nations, visit ground zero in New York and celebrate Mass in New York and Washington during his April 15-20 trip.
Here's an article from the Constitution Party about Super Tuesday, Ron Paul, and the Republican Party.
Unlike the Republican Party which rejected Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter, the Constitution Party embraces much of the philosophy and principles that they articulated. Any candidate of their stature and history would be welcomed in the Constitution Party.
(The Constitution Party) A party dedicated to securing our borders, eliminating the IRS, and a return to a sound monetary system. A party committed to stopping the national ID card, protecting privacy and liberty, preserving gun rights and protecting the unborn. A party opposed to unconstitutional trade agreements and undeclared wars.
