Dear Fox Soccer Channel, the games look fantastic. Not only are you following the ball better but the replay angles for things like tackles, fouls, and set pieces are nothing short of perfect... Thank You.
"The Obama administration said Tuesday it could continue to imprison non-U.S. citizens indefinitely even if they have been acquitted of terrorism charges by a U.S. military commission. Jeh Johnson, the Defense Department's chief lawyer, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that releasing a detainee who has been tried and found not guilty was a policy decision that officials would make based on their estimate of whether the prisoner posed a future threat."

"The explosion of Palin-bashing (and yes, it's bashing, justified or not) across the political spectrum reminds me of a campaign that happened a lifetime ago. Back then, Hillary Clinton reprised her role as the political world's favorite target. Attacking her was elevated to an art form; participants of all stripes joined in. It was the pinnacle of bipartisanship; right and left hammering away at her in an all-out assault that ultimately cost her the nomination."

Have given up searching for new music in favour of working my way through the back catalogues of people I already like. So... THIS (catches glimpse of my own reflection) is what old age looks like.
Yeah I started that back around 2000. It's good to collect things you have always liked and build on that. Once in awhile I'll like some new performance on Letterman or something, but nothing compares to good ol' Classic Rock and up-beat 80's music.

The first girl (now a grown woman) I ever had a crush on is down stairs, hanging out with my sister. Doing my best not to turn back in to the shy teenager I was when we met.
cool beans - glad it didn't go longer though...

Fwd: The Linux desktop I was programming on just melted down. Sparks and smoke out of the back and everything. Paul's reaction: "It just couldn't take your productivity." (via http://friendfeed.com/bret...)

All that we care about at a minimum is that he committed himself to us," Donovan said. "As time has gone on, that has not proven to be the case in many ways -- on the field, off the field. Does the fact that he earns that much money come into it? Yeah. If someone's paying you more than anybody in the league, more than double anybody in the league, the least we expect is that you show up to every game, whether you're suspended or not. Show up and train hard. Show up and play hard. Maybe he's not a leader, maybe he's not a captain. Fair enough. But at a minimum you should bust your ass every day. That hasn't happened. And I don't think that's too much for us to expect. Especially when he's brought all this on us.
