confession: i like carrie underwood's "before he cheats." enough to buy it off itunes. which i have done. i'm so ashamed. You should be ashamed. While that song has a catchy beat and all (and I can't avoid hearing it because I live in a hick-town) if I was the boyfriend of the chick in th...

DT Justin Harrell out of Tennessee. At first I was kind of dissapointed, but Ted Thompson has been focusing on the defensive side of the ball pretty well with his management moves - he extended the contracts of DE's Aaron Kampman and Cullen Jenkins, cornerback Al Harris and linebacker Nick Barnett. ...

No; because if the Founders had to enumerate every single point conceivable the Constitution would have to be many volumes. The general terms used in the document are difficult to pin a specific meaning to, but those who wrote it made their beliefs explicitly clear in other writings, documents, book...

After dragging its feet for a decade, the Department of Veterans Affairs this week agreed to honor requests for pentacles on military headstones. Over the years, the department has officially approved 38 religious symbols, but Wiccans were denied this courtesy until they filed a lawsuit. The discri...

As mentioned in last night's episode of the Colbert Report, some musings have been floating around particularly among the media about a quirky idea to ease both our country's immigration problem and one of our War issues. Some have proposed that, in light of a high majority's opinion that we offer i...

Yes, but the only way to definitely prevent idiots with car keys is to ban cars altogether. And while that would certainly be functional in certain areas (such as much of the area where I currently live), it doesn't work everywhere. Or we could ban idiots altogether. Clean up the gene pool a bit. M...

Nobody can be sad after watching The Cat Returns. It's just not possible.

It IS possible, in one situation - immediately after watching The Cat Returns, you watch Grave of the Fireflies.

I think you're assuming too much. To presume that the judge could somehow have been oblivious to the man's status as an illegal alien is ludicrous; despite the "don't ask, don't tell" policy of police in certain areas, it isn't reasonable to assume that the judge and prosecution handling h...

Well, if you believe that God will make them burn in fire forever if they sin... If you believe that , you're so f****** retarded that it doesn't matter what you think.

Jota, sometimes your willingness to embrace illogical and unreasonable positions on the basis of feelings flabbergasts me.
