Osama
I'm glad Osama bin Laden is dead. I'm not going to use it as an excuse to act like a moron as many drunken college students did, but I did knock back a shot of Jager to honor this occasion. Thank you to the Navy SEAL team who handled the attack. If I could buy a drink or three for the one who took the killshot, I would gladly do it. I wish President Obama's speech had more emotion in it. I'm sure George W. Bush would have been a bit more fired up. But he is what he is. Once again, THANK YOU to the United States military for a job well done.

Some NFL Draft - Round One - Thoughts
I'm still not convinced about Cam Newton.
Cincinnati taking AJ Green = bye bye Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The Atlanta Falcons gave up too much to trade up to the sixth pick. This draft was deep enough with wide receivers, if they had waited, Jon Baldwin would have been available. The Kansas City Chiefs took him with the 26th pick.
Detroit got a great player in NIck Fairley, who at one time was in the top three of every mock draft. When he lines up next to Ndomukong Suh, it will be fun to watch.
Christian Ponder at 12? What were you thinking Minnesota? Trade down. Take him in the late twenties.
Tennessee, the Jake Locker pick at 8 was ballsy. I hope it turns out to be a brilliant move. But why did you pass on Gabbert?
The Cleveland Browns have many holes to fill. They can do that now with the picks they have over the next two years.
To my Pittsburgh Steelers: Cameron Heyward is perfect for the team. Aaron Smith is getting old and injury prone. Heyward has football pedigree and is a big, intimidating man. A very good pick at number 31.

NHL Round 2
Vancouver vs. Nashville
This is an intertesting matchup. Chicago showed the world the weaknesses of Roberto Luongo. Nashville is a fast, young team flying high of their first playoff series win. Vancouver is a high-octane offense and was the NHL's best regular season team. This one comes down to who gets the best bounces.
Vancouver in six
San Jose vs. Detroit
The time off seems to favor the older Detroit team. San Jose, however, is coming off a series win over a division rival and their goalie won a Stanly Cup last year with Chicago. These two are playoff rivals and there will be no love lost. This should be the best second round series.
San Jose in seven
Washington vs. Tampa Bay
The Capitals put a butt-whippin on the New York Rangers, winning four games to one. They have so many weapons on offense, which is something Tampa didn't see in their seven-game series win against Pittsburgh. Tampa's big four would have to step up even more to pull off this upset, which isn't out of the question, but... the Caps have weapons too.
Washington in six
Philadelphia vs. Boston
Both teams had very tough seven game series wins in the first round. And Boston is lucky to have made it out of the first round. Philadelphia is tougher than Boston and when their heads are straight can stomp anyone. But the Bruins have an edge in goaltending...

Steroids in Baseball: Only the Sports Writers Give a Damn
Remember the summer when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire had that thrilling home run chase? I do. I also remember who everyone knew they were juicing on something, fans and writers alike. But all of us were hooked. So now when it is time for Hall of Fame voting, the writers who were cheering right along sid of us, suddenly become holier-than-thou and refuse to vote for McGwire or Sosa. (And I assume the same will be true of Rafael Palmero, Barry Bonds, Manny Rameriez and Roger Clemens and maybe even A-Rod.) Let me make this clear: the Baseball Hall of Fame without those men is incomplete.
I haven't yet spoken to one baseball fans who cares about steroids. Yes, juicing will make you stronger butit will not make you more talented. So yes, Barry Bonds on roids makes a difference. But Ronnie Cedeno could take all the steroids in the world and it wouldn't do a damn bit of good. We were all watching when Bonds set the single season and career home run records. The writers were there for every at bat when Barry was sitting on 755. Now their sanctimonious attitudes will keep him from his rightful and deserved place in the HOF. (Keep in mind some of the writers refuse to vote for any player during his first year of eligibility, which is why no player has ever been a unanimous selection. So you see what we are up against.)
The same will happen to Roger Clemens who, like Barry, has nothing but allegations of steroid use following him. Roger Clemens is one of baseball's all-time greatest pitchers. I defy any of you to make a list of longer than five pitchers better than Roger. But the arrogance of people like Buster Olney and Peter Gammons will keep him out of the Hall.
When it comes to Rafael Palmero and Manny Rameriez, both of whom tested positive for steroids, again I ask: does anyone other than some aging, fat sports writers give a crap? No. The Hall of Fame is for the fans. We want to see ManRam and Palmero enshrined. We want busts of Clemens and Barry and McGwire and Sammy on display.
The writers are not the baseball police. They have no right to deny the game's greatest exclusion from the Hall of Fame. We as baseball fans must let our voices be heard and encourage the enshrimenet of all these players who are now eligible and the others when their time comes. Put an end to the hypocrisy and sanctimony and give the fans what they want: a Hall of Fame with all the right players.

Fake and scripted are not the same thing
On April 11, one of WWE's most decorated stars, Edge, was abruptly forced to retire. It's not a "work" or part of a script, this is reality. Edge is suffering from symtpoms of neuropraxia, most notably numbness and uncontrollable shaking in his arms and hands. These symptoms are likely a result of stenosis of the spine after Edge returned to WWE after a two-level spinal fusion in 2003. The procedure centered on his C5, C6 and C7 vertebrae. Dr. Joseph Maroon, a top neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh, studied Edge's MRI taken on April 4 and informed WWE Edge would never again gain medical clearance to perform in the ring and if Edge were to ignore doctors and perform anyway, he could be paralyzed or die as a result.
Haters of WWE continue to call this form of Sports Entertainment "fake". Edge's sudden and surprising retirement is all the proof anyone needs to know it isn't. If Bret Favre (football's ultimate ironman) had suffered in 2003 the same injury as Edge, we never would have seen him in a uniform other than Green Bay because his career would have eneded then. NFL tough guys Ray Lewis and Hines Wards wouldn't make it in WWE. They don't want to play 18 NFL games a year, how could they possibly do 200 live dates a year with WWE?
Thank you Edge for the many years of entertainment and laughs and shocking moments. Your contributions to WWE will never be forgotten. And to all the WWE haters, it's time you begin showing these men and women some respect. What they do isn't easy and it's dangerous. The NFL doesn't have a disclaimer telling kids not to play backyard football. WWE does have a disclaimer stating "Don't try this at home". Injuries like Edge's are the reason why. Even with years of practice and training, broken necks, ruptured achilles and torn quadracepts happen in WWE. It's their dedication and the support of the fans that keep bringing them back. They deserve the same respect as Charles Woodson or LaDanian Tomlinson. Start giving to them!

Let's drop the puck, it's playoff hockey!
Vancouver Canucks v. Chicago Blackhawks
The defending Stanley Cup champs barely squeezed into the playoffs and have no realistic chance of knocking off the President's Cup winning Canucks. This should be a short series.
Vancouver in five
San Jose Sharks v. Los Angeles Kings
The Kings blew an opportunity to avoid the Sharks in the first round and instead face the Detroit Red Wings, (a matchup I would have liked to see) and it will hurt them. I know it is a divisional rivalry but the Sharks just havew too many weapons.
San Jose in six
Detroit Red Wings v. Phoenix Coyotes
Phoenix is a gritty team who will make things tough on Detroit. However, Detroit has more overall talent and should find a way to win this series (but don't be surprised if this is the first round upset either). Expect every game to be close, however.
Detroit in six
Anaheim Ducks v. Nashville Predators
This will the the Western Conference's most entertaining series. So if you have the NHL package on your cable subscription, watch these games.
Nashville in seven
Washington Capitals v. New York Rangers
Washington has the best record in the east and the Rangers are just happy to be in the playoffs. Sounds like a ass-kicking, right? Don't be so sure. Rangers' goalie Henrik Lundqvist could steal this series if he gets hot at the right time. But it's unlikely with all of Washington's weapons.
Washington in five
Philadelphia Flyers v. Buffalo Sabres
Again, like the Washington/New York series, this seems like a mismatch on paper. And well... it is.
Philadelphia in four
Boston Bruins v. Montreal Canadiens
If Anaheim/Nashville is the most entertaining first round series, this is the most intense. These teams were rivals before the Chara incident and now they loathe each other. Tim Thomas was the league's dominant goalie this year, but in this series it's not going to matter. This is the upset special.
Montreal in seven
Pittsburgh Penguins v. Tampa Bay Lightning
The Penguins played a total of two games with their top three stars in the lineup and they still somehow fell just one win shy of a division title. Tampa Bay plays very good hockey against the Pens and has an explosive offense so Fleury must be ready.

A baseball post
The Pittsburgh Pirates will have another losing season but will not finish in last place.
Bull Durham is the best baseball movie of all time. It was cast perfectly, acted perfectly and written perfectly.
Roy Halladay will win the NL Cy Young. The AL Cy Young will be won by CC Sabathia.
The MVP's in 2011 will be Adrian Gonzalez in the AL and Prince Fielder in the NL (if he isn't traded at the deadline).
The biggest disappointment in 2011 will be the Cincinnati Reds.
Cobb is the most under-appreciated baseball movie of all time. Tommy Lee Jones was amazing as the legendary Ty Cobb.
The best "feel-good" baseball movie ever is The Sandlot.
The Boston Red Sox will defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series.

Another collection of random thoughts...
Would somebody tell the Miami Heat there's no crying in basketball?
Mike Huckabee is a doofus.
What's the big deal with Charlie Sheen? I'm pretty sure Bret Michaels has done all of those things plus more and he hasn't turned into an idiot. If you wantto party, fine. But find a babysitter, keep the doors closed and keep your mouth shut.
I know it's only March, but the Philadelphia Phillies should win 100 games this season.
I watched Caddyshack last night and realized how much the comedy world misses Rodney Dangerfield.
President Obama: You do not have the power to declare any law unconstitutional.
If you haven't seen The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, rent it tonight.
What the hell does tiger blood have to do with anything?
Charlie, you are not winning. Especially if you are replaced by John Stamos.
Shamrock Shakes are the best thing McDonald's offers.

Thoughts of randomness
The Academy Awards were ok. It was great to see Trent Reznor win. Otherwise the night was very ho-hum.
It appears as Barack Obama has broken a 2007 capmpaign promise to walk picket lines with workers fighting to keep collective bargaining right.
A Josh Groban concert has been anounced for Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Tickets range from $81-99. Really? In this economy?
Charlie, knock of the juvenille crap. Two and a Half Men pays you a reported $1.2 million per episode. Get your life together dude. And forget about Major League 4. It does not need to happen.
Harry Reid is still a giant doucherocket.
American Idol must go. Its best days are far behind.

Congressman Jim Matheson (Utah) need to leave the porn alone! No tax for adult websites!

I wish I could say I feel sorry for Chicago...but it was their ignorance which allowed Rahm Emanuel to be elected.
In the long run, the Utah Jazz will come out ahead with the Deron trade.
Is there a show worse than Jersey Shore?
NCIS: Los Angeles sucks. Hard.
Lindsay Lohan needs to run off with Charlie Sheen.
Tiger Woods is done as a top golfer.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell has a cell reserved for him in the darkest, most sadistic level of Hell.
Cam Newton will not live up to the hype.
I don't know what the future holds for Egypt, but they are off to a good start.
Good luck Lybia.
Once again, the liberal media draws attention to Rush Limbaugh after some over-the-top comments. They won't ever learn this attention is good for Limbaugh, will they?

what, no Tele Promptr?
I remember having to learn the words to "The Star Spangled Banner" in second grade. Last night, before Super Bowl XLV, a multi-Grammy Award winning artist with an incredible voice botched the lyrics to the song in front of an international audience which well exceeded 100 million people. It was the biggest blonde moment since Jessica Simpson's "chicken of the sea" confusion. The embarrassment should not be limited to Ms. Aguilera, however. Every American should be embarrassed and ashamed. What do you think went through the minds of the men and women of the Armed Forces who were in attendance last night? (Or watching on TV for that matter?) I bet it was very similar to what went through my mind. The mock cheer from the crowd when she recovered and started singing the correct words was well deserved. I never thought a person singing at the Super Bowl would need to have the lyrics to the "Star Spangled Banner" in front of her, but after February 6, 2011, maybe it's time to do just that. But then again, we'd have to assume the pop stars actually learned to read. After all, they aren't able to remember the words to the National Anthem.

Grow Up Chuck
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie...
I'm sure most straight American men would love Charlie Sheen's life. He makes people laugh for a living. He was married to Denise Richards. He's paid very well for Two and a Half Men. He parties with hot chicks. But c'mon, Chuck. You aren't Keith Richards. You can't drink, snort and screw all night like you're 27. Since October, you've been to the hospital twice after partying with adult film stars. Now normally, I'd say you deserve some sort of medal for this. But Charlie, you have kids. You have a successful television show. In other words, you aren't Pauly Shore. He could get away with this kind of behavior. You need to slow down. As appealing as it would be to hang out with Capri Anderson or Kacey Jordan, you need to think about priorities, Charlie. Let's face it, Denise Richards has nothing going for her right now. She and your kids are counting on that CBS paycheck. If you die because you are snorting drugs and doing body shots off a 20-something porn star, your kids lose. I doubt you will learn from this latest incident, Charlie. None of the issues in the past have managed to penetrate your thick head. (I'll let the obvious comment about Kacey Jordan and penetration go this time...) I know you won't read this blog. I know there is no one in your inner circle who will read it either, Charlie. But grow up. You're too old for this shit.

He parties with hot chicks. But c'mon, Chuck. You aren't Keith Richards. You can't drink, snort and screw all night like you're 27. Since October, you've been to the hospital twice after partying with adult film stars. Now normally, I'd say you deserve some sort of medal for this. But Charlie, you have kids. You have a successful television show. In other words, you aren't Pauly Shore. He could get away with this kind of behavior. You need to slow down. As appealing as it would be to hang out with Capri Anderson or Kacey Jordan, you need to think about priorities, Charlie. Let's face it, Denise Richards has nothing going for her right now. She and your kids are counting on that CBS paycheck. If you die because you are snorting drugs and doing body shots off a 20-something porn star, your kids lose. I doubt you will learn from this latest incident, Charlie. None of the issues in the past have managed to penetrate your thick head. (I'll let the obvious comment about Kacey Jordan and penetration go this time...) I know you won't read this blog. I know there is no one in your inner circle who will read it either, Charlie. But grow up. You're too old for this shit.

CSI: Mindcrime
Over the past few days I have been watching reruns of the CSI spinoffs. And after my dog rolled her eyes at David Caruso, it got me thinking about the pros and cons of the two spinoffs. I would think most of us would agree the original CSI is still the best of the bunch, even without Grissom. But which is the second best? The flashy but horribly acted CSI: Miami? Or CSI: NY, which is darker but the acting is of a higher quality? (I would argue CSI: NY has the best acting of all three shows.) You see, even though the acting on CSI: Miami is dreadful, I like most of the characters. There is just something about them. However, on CSI: NY, I don't have that feeling with any of the characters. They are unlikable. Even Gary Sinese's Mac Taylor doesn't draw me in. But, despite David Caruso being one of the three worst actors of all time, his Horatio Caine is likable, even with his cheesy one-liners and his one-trick-pony sunglasses. If forced to make a choice, I will always watch CSI: NY over CSI: Miami, even though I wouldn't be upset over any of thge characters being killed off. I know that CSI: Miami remains more popular that CSI: NY and will probably survive for many seasons more. Even though I won't miss any of the characters, I will miss the solid acting. If only the characters from the Big Apple version of CSI were a bit more appetizing...
P.S. If the creators of CSI ever decide to do anothert spin-off after one of the others ends its run, I suggest one of these two choices: CSI: Houston or CSI: New Orleans.

the No Freedom League strikes again
Just when I thought the NFL couldn't get more ridiculous... in the past they've fined players for writing scripture references in wristbands and drawing crosses on hand tape and there have been fines for pants and socks not being at the correct length... this season we saw penalties for "excessive celebration" get out of control... now Roger Goodell wants to censor trash talk... really? The trash talk the Jets fired at New England was some high quality entertainment! Football is about two things: winning and hurting the other team's feelings... any rules to hinder the latter take away from the fun and intensity of the game. Let the trash talk continue... let the celebrations go... let NFL stand for National Football League again...

Overly sensative Hollywood crybabies
So Ricky Gervais offended some of Hollywood's elite Sunday night at the Golden Globes. Let me ask you this: does anyone who was not in that room Sunday night give a damn? The answer: no. I couldn't care less if Angelina Jolie was offended my Gervais' jokes. She has a nine-figure bank account. She can go where she wants, when she wants. I don't feel sorry for her. These thin-skinned Hollywood elitists need to toughen up and just go with it. Everyone knew Ricky would push the envelope with his humor. No one expected anything less. So Gervais subtly called Tom Cruise gay. And...? So he brought up some of Bruce Willis' no-so-memorable films and also pointed out The Tourist was a flop. He made jokes about Robert Downey Jr's addiction probelms. No different than Leno or Letterman. The president of the foreign hollywood press has said Gervais will not be invited back to host the show. OK, I can live with that. His humor isn't for everyone. But he went on to say Gervais will never recive a Golden Globe nomination. Can we say childish, boys and girls? The response and backlash to Gervais' jokes is assanine but nt surprising. The eilitist Hollywood types have always been unable to take a joke and expect sympathy from the rest of us when they are offened. In this case, they are not going to get it. We all felt bad when John Travolta's child died. We do not feel bad about him being upset over Ricky Gervais making a joke about Scientology. I ask all you Hollywood people to suck it up, crack a smile, learn to laugh at yourselves and get on with your million dollar lives.

In honor of Dr. King
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites Only". We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

sex education in brooklyn
I usually get sick to my stomach when I hear the letters ACLU. However, in the case of Cindy Mauro and Alini Brito, I hope the group comes to their aide after they were unjustly fired from James Madison High School in Brooklyn for an alleged lesbian encounter. School custodians and security agents claimed to have found the two naked in a classroom during a evening school function. An arbitrator ruled Ms. Mauro's defense was "lacking in basic truthfulness" and the entire incident degeneratated into she said/she said bickering between teachers and an assistant principal. I'm sure there are teachers all over America who are lesbians and I'm certain some of these teachers are in relationships with each other. If these women are good teachers and are not interfering with students' education, who cares? Does a person's sexual orientation have anything to do with their ability to do their job? No, it doesn't. This is a witch hunt. There is no better way to describe it. It's apparent this high school has not realized we are in the year 2011. Maybe the faculty and staff of James Madison High School in Brooklyn, and not the students, are the ones in need of sex education classes.

happy birthday to the greatest of all time
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUSH LIMBAUGH!
Rush Limbaugh is the greatest radio commentator of all time. He single-handedly revived talk radio and has inspired and enlightened million of Americans with his analysis and opinions of American politics and society. His success has made him the most listened to radio show in American history (over 25 million listeners weekly) and he influenced the second and third most listened to radio shows in countless ways. (They would be Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, respectively.) Rush was once a struggling talk show host on KQV in Pittsburgh and was fired from the Kansas City Royals front office. He never crawled into a corner and felt sorry for himself. He didn't blame his failures on other people or make excuses for his shortcomings. He kept trying. He worked hard and achieved fantastic success. Ladies and gentleman, that is what America is all about. Only you can live your dreams.

Arizona
My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones during the terrible shooting in Arizona. But, as with every one of these awful tragedies, there comes bleeding heart liberals. And I fear the anti-gun nutjobs will use and twist these murders to their own agenda of taking guns away from decent, law abiding people. Taking guns away from decent Americans will not solve the problem of murder. In fact, if us decent people are disarmed, it will make the life of criminals much easier. We as Americans must squash this inevidable pontificating before it has a chance to start. Punish those responsible for this heinous crime as serverely as the law allows. An example must be made out of them. Leave guns in the hands of responsible, Constitution loving Americans who want nothing more than to protect life, liberty and property. To all you anti-gun lefties, remember the line about "cold, dead fingers"? I sure hope you do. Because that's what it will take to remove guns from the hands of those with something worth protecting.
