I dont have a big long story filled with endless facts this time, just a simple question.
“Not a single piece of scientific evidence supports the ban,” said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who joined 16 other Democrats and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in writing Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.

Has this jackass ever spent one minute talking to an openly gay man? A good friend of mine from high school came out of the closet about ten years ago that he was gay. He talked quite a bit about how the gay male community is like living in the 70’s. Rubbers? What’s that?
AIDS killed him two years ago.
Not a single piece of evidence? This gay equality thing has gone too far. As the father of a child who has received several transfusions this scares the every loving shit out of me. It is a FACT that the gay male community is WAY more loose with their use of safe sex methods as in most DON’T. Not a single fact? John Kerry you’re a fucking moron. You’re not only a traitor to your country but your pandering to the gay community is going to get people killed.
Is it worth kissing the taint of the gay community to get yourself re-elected? Oh yeah…. Sorry I forgot.. You’re a politician. You sold your soul decades ago.
Hart, 36, knows that some people think he is a traitor, but he has no regrets. “I’ve bled for my country, I’ve sweated for my country, I’ve cried myself to sleep for my country — which is a lot more than some people who are passing judgment on me have done,” he says. “I would rather go sit in prison than go to Iraq.”

It’s easy to criticize the guy for being a traitor. It’s easy to call the guy a coward. Until you’ve actually been there, you just don’t know and never will.
My wife and I love episodic television. Reality TV not so much although Survivor has a proper place in our schedule when it is on. A TV show should captivate you. It should leave you longing for the next episode.
Take the Sopranos for example. This was a roller coaster ride of a tv show. The show took you up and down but when the time came to bring the show to an end it was like having sex without an orgasm. Disappointing on every level.
Prison Break was another show that frustrated me personally. The show should have ended after season 2 in my opinion but it drug on and on. The ending, my wife liked. The ending to me was a cop out.
Heroes had us for the first season. The commercials is what screwed it up for me personally. It seemed like every single commercial plugging the show promised “All your questions will be answered” and they never were. I threw up my hands and gave up.
Ghost Whisperer. Yes Ghost Whisperer of all shows had me for a few episodes. Then it just got dumber and dumber. They kill off “Jim” only to have him return in someone elses body, yet its the same actor. Then they slowly get rid of the fact that they killed him off in the first place after fast forwarding five years. I threw up my hands at the show when they did a blatant commercial for a GMC Acadia during the show. “Look mom you can fit the whole soccer team in there.” *BARF* Product placement is one thing – Blatant 30 second spots is another.
Now we get to Lost. Lost was special in my mind. In did everything a TV show should do to entertain me without ever losing me. The finale last night had me slightly confused. It took my wife and I discussing it through the tears (Yes I admit it – I cried) to figure out what we perceived to be as just what exactly happened over the past six seasons. Our conclusion is purgatory. Now I can’t explain the Oceanic Six getting off the island and interacting with “the living” and I’m not going to try. Jack’s dad explaining to his son, “Some died before you and some long after you” helped me personally bring it into perspective. I would have liked to have seen a few “old people” walking into the church and maybe smiling at Jack while talking to Kate in the jeep. Jack walks into the church and instead of seeing the few “old people” he see’s what we saw last night. All in all I am very satisfied with the end of what was perhaps my favorite television show to date.
I’ll never forget the excitement I had while on our Hawaiian vacation, my wife and I stumbling on the production site for the Darma camp which was actually a YMCA camp at Ka’ena point on Oahu. My wife wasn’t actually sure but that night in the hotel room at Turtle Bay there it was on television. The Darma camp and I got to give a big fat I told you so to the wife.
Thank you to the creators and the people who brought the show to life each and every week. I’ll sure be having a helluva time finding a show to fill the void that this show has left.
Megan Fox, who made her name as Shia LaBeouf’s love interest in the first two Transformers films, will no longer appear in the franchise.
Fox played Mikaela Banes in the 2007 blockbuster and sequel, which together made $1.5bn (£1.05bn) worldwide.
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU Megan Fox. The ONLY thing Megan Fox was good for was eye candy because as far as acting ability she was TERRIBLE. The girl couldn’t act good enough to fake an orgasm so the LAST place she needs to be is in a major Hollywood production. Send this girl to where she belongs, Hooters, or Porn.
70 percent of AT&T’s subscribers are on family plans, and it would be difficult to transition multiple devices, he explained. Additionally, 40 percent of subscribers are part of corporate plans, and employers are unlikely to switch company-owned devices for a new carrier. (There is some overlap between the two types of plans.) The CEO added that “churn” rates (i.e., a measure of customers leaving) for AT&T are staying at record-low rates, so he expects that iPhone customers will remain loyal.

Yeah not worried? Well you’d better be worried. 7 out of 10 iPhone owners I know, are itching to tell AT&T to go piss up a rope. Myself, having a Microcell that STILL drops calls, count myself as someone ready to go.
Good LORD I hate arrogance.
His descriptions — I’m assuming Blumenthal knows there have been more than a couple — of serving in Vietnam when in fact he never left the states while a member of the Marine Reserves were “absolutely unintentional” and amount to “a few misplaced words.”
“I will not allow anyone to take a few missplaced words and impugn my record of service to my country. I served in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and I am proud of it.”
You will not allow? Well I beg to differ – You have no choice in the matter. You didn’t misspeak. You didn’t misplace words. Call it for what it is – You’re a liar and a bad one at that.
Were you a coward who hid in the National Guard during Vietnam? Well, considering your propensity for misplacing words, it wouldn’t shock me. Now piss off.
You think Russel got robbed? You must have as much integrity as he did. None!
Ok I get a bunch of good feedback each week but this one I HAVE to respond to publicly. The game of Survivor is nothing but a high school drama fest and at that game Russel Hantz excelled. I do KIND OF agree with Boston Rob’s assessment that he doesn’t play to win because he pisses so many off in the process.
I told my wife if I ever wound up on that show I would stab HER in the back to win. She looked at me crosseyed but I qualified the statement by telling her I’d stab her with a flesh wound.
Outwit, Outlast, Outplay. Russel did all three and got screwed in the end.
