That is not a bad thing.

Its bad practice to allow employees to opt out of health insurance to make more money. Sick people dont go to work much.

Still dont feel like "we" won this.

Wow, owned.

Got me.

Were just going to debate and come to a consensus until the Sweet 16. After that we'll probably have to confer with outside people. As for stretching the punk genre, the hip-hop acts that were selected seemed punk enough and its interesting to get a few of them in the tournament. We definitely stretched a bit with picks like Leslie Feist, Liz Phair and LCD Soundsystem... but again it makes the tournament a little more interesting. We worked the victors of round 1 this morning. ROUND 2 1. The Clash vs. 8. Public Enemy 2. The Velvet Underground vs. 7. Big Black 3. Gang of Four vs. 6. Minor Threat 4. Patti Smith vs. 12. The Thermals 1. Sex Pistols vs. 8. Sleater-Kinney 2. Elvis Costello vs. 10. Gogol Bordello 3. Sonic Youth vs. 6. The Minutemen 4. Husker Du vs. 5. The Buzzcocks 1. The Talking Heads vs. 8.

LCD Soundsystem vs. 5. The Replacements The matchups are a lot more interesting now. My picks are still bolded.

2012 SPOILERS: The ending of this movie gets a 4/4 alone- Once it becomes clear Africa is the most hospitable land-mass for human beings the seemingly benevolent arcs that saved Western Civilization (I guess Japan and China too) turn into the three largest aircraft carriers ever and blackhawk helicopters start whizzing around. So perfectly awesome, all Africa has to do is become kinda useful and were conquering that s*** not 30 days after the world pretty much ended.

I and a friend of mine enjoy punk rock a lot. So its March Madness and we figured we'd play this game; each of us got 32 picks and we picked 2 of each seed to oppose each other.

Austin TX as well Tex!

It was nothing.

The NHL is going to pick up a decent number of fans from this Olympics.

There we go. Its fine to root for whoever you want, as long as its not against the United States.

+1 to whoever tricked Canada into taking Detroit off our hands.

In terms of a broad strategy the approach in Afghanistan and Iraq has been nearly identical. Instead of reacting to insurgent flare-ups weve started to fight an offense war, which plays a lot more to our strengths.

Everything I've read/heard/gathered/watched says they ditched the law enforcement strategy in Iraq in favor of individually clearing out towns and cities of insurgents, bringing in and training Iraqi police forces to keep them clear then moving on to the next place. Afghanistan is pretty similar except were trying to get civilians out of the areas were fighting in. edit- by "everything I've read/heared/gathered/watched" I mean Petraeus actually saying it. They whole idea was the buy time for the crazy ethnofederalist government we set up there to actually get rooted.

If the rotation pitches that well we'll be World Series favorites, not division runner ups.

They're applying the same strategy in Afghanistan as they did in Iraq. Good to see its working.

That is a terrible idea.

Michelle Malkin has absolutely zero credibility. She almost to the Chris Matthews level of ubsurdity.

You cannot attack one of the Democrat hacks after linking Michelle Malkin.

Its illegal in Turkey to mix religion into politics, but not the other way around.

Just wondering: Did he just save the bank the price of having to demolish what I can only imagine was a total dump? Empty land is a lot more liquid and easier to sell, right? I mean as long as the land is worth what he owed the bank they weren't going to see any of the money from the house anyways. He did them a favor? Either way, complete idiot.
