At first glance, the sound of universal health care coverage is a seemingly great idea. What kind of sadistic person has their fingers crossed for suffering people to continue to suffer? I trip children for fun in my free time and even I, in my kinder moments, have been known to grimace at the thought of a hospital declining to help repair their shattered tibias. So what's the deal with all these selfish jerks with their hands clasped around their wads of cash? Why are they so unwilling … [Read more...]

Update #2/Jackie's opinion: Ok, so does anyone else find it weird that this family has already been on TV before, and the father is this "self proclaimed" scientist, who builds this balloon thing. What 6 year old stays hiding for over 3 hours? OH, and last night on the news the reporter asked him, "why did you stay hiding for so long?" The young boy's response was something along the lines of, " to get on a show". It's a hoax baby! Update: So, they found him alive hiding under … [Read more...]

Football season for a disgruntled Bills fan [by Neil]
September 15, 2009 By 3 Comments
We get it Tom Brady, you are perfect in every way (except for that loss to the Giants). However, what you did on Monday night was sickening. How dare you take the pleasure of beating the Patriots away from those lowly Buffalo Bills? If it wasn’t for Leodis McKelvin making such an egregious error, you would not have had the chance to throw that game-winning touchdown pass. (If I sound like a disheartened, beaten Bills fan, it’s because I am.) Mr. Brady, please go enjoy your millions of … [Read more...]
