That picture reminded me of this editorial I read about the oil spill the other day. Jindal and Vitter's Anti-science Policies

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) well played, Mauer.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) All you Blue Moonies, do yourself a favor just once this summer and treat yourself to a Hoegarden when you see it on tap. It will likely ruin Blue Moon for you, but you'll be moving up a rung or two on the quality ladder. Hoegarden may be my favorite beer. It is definitely better than Blue Moon. Can't believe I forgot to mention it.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) Aren't scientists actually unsure why gravity works the way it does? Like, if gravity worked the way they thought, the universe wouldn't still be expanding... or something dorky like that. Now, that I think about it there is alot about gravity that we aren't sure about. It probably wasn't the best example to use.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) Yep, you can bet that's exactly how the deniers will paint it — only a 97% consensus. It's hard to think of any other topic where there is a 97% agreement in the scientific community. Gravity?

Summertime favorite would be Summer Shandy. Right now in the fridge I've got Summer Shandy, Paulaner Hefe-Weizen, and my sister brought some Yuengling Lager when she came back to Illinois from North Carolina over the weekend.

I'm upset, we're coming up towards our annual family vacation to Arkansas and I won't be able to go and the more they talk about it the more I'm getting pissed off about it. Stupid Cell Biology class.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:48 AM) Thanks to Patrick Sharp...I got to touch the Stanley Cup tonight. Little to his knowledge he also got me all kinds of attention from the ladies. Not a hockey fan, but I'll take it. Just to let you know Marcus.... I HATE YOU!

I really have been loving all of these NHL commercials and this is just icing on the cake...

Just changed my wallpaper!!!!

Shaggy, he is a Kerry Blue terrier Scooby, she is a Scottish terrier.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 23, 2010 -> 05:27 PM) I love every player on this team now. Huet...meh. He's become very good at opening the door to the bench. Anyways, I am so pumped up not only for me and the Hawks but for my dad who has been a die hard all his life, but was only 11 the last time they won it. I have the same feeling that I had 5 years ago in October. 4 MORE WINS!!!

I hate when people complain about the refs, but I think that some of the penalties we got were kinda suspect and the icing call right before they scored in the 3rd was iffy too. At least they got the kicked in goal right! Yes, I even hate myself for saying that. Anyway great win only 5 more wins until Lord Stanley's Cup!!! Let's wrap it up on Sunday!!!!!!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 21, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Any of you watched Darion Anderson from NIU much? Just transferred to ISU today. I go to NIU, but I commute and have never been to one of our basketball games. We are not very good, in a bad basketball conference so I can't imagine that he is that much of anything.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 21, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) Anybody watch the Habs game last night? The anthem experience and everything at UC is great, but man, the atmosphere throughout the whole game up there is something else. It was a great atmosphere, I really like when they have the kid light the center of the ice on fire and it goes across the whole arena during the intro. I can't wait for the game tonight. They need to not let the Sharks back into it, like the Flyers let the Canadiens back into it last night. I'm hoping for the Original 6 matchup in the Stanley Cup Finals.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2010 -> 11:37 PM) Do you think the Hawks will take care of business before a loud crowd in game three or do you sense some life in San Jose? Logic would suggest we do the job at home after kicking their ass in their own building. Just wondered what you thought the odds are of the Hawks going up 3 games to 0. Q: Which would you take if offered? Let's say the gods guaranteed you that if the Hawks dropped the next four games the Sox would rebound and make the playoffs. Would you take that deal in a second? Or are you a big enough hockey fan you'd want the Hawks to win the series if it meant the Sox continue to spiral downward the rest of the year? I would turn that one offer down in a second. I have been lucky enough to see a White Sox World Series win in my lifetime, but not a Stanley Cup. I would be able to handle another bad Sox season most of them in my lifetime have been anyways . I have the same feeling about the Hawks that I got about the Sox in the ALCS in 2005. Now, if you were to tell me that I had to take away 2005 to get the Stanley Cup in 2010, I don't think I would be able to do that.

Bolland has been great the last two series, first getting into D. Sedin's head and now getting into Thornton's head.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 18, 2010 -> 11:10 PM) Thornton slashed Bolland with an intent in injure. I know Joe is Canadian, maybe he's from Vancouver? Stay Classy Joe.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2010 -> 09:29 AM) Yeah, sorry, didn't realize it was all Eastern. Here's the official CST one. Sunday, May 16 at San Jose, 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 18 at San Jose, 9:00 p.m. Friday, May 21 at Chicago, 7:00 p.m. Sunday, May 23 at Chicago, 2:00 p.m. *Tuesday, May 25 at San Jose, 8:00 p.m. *Thursday, May 27 at Chicago, 7:00 p.m. *Saturday, May 29 at San Jose, 7:00 p.m. Go Hawks!!!!! Actually wouldn't that schedule be CDT?

Watched a movie that I vaguely remember watching when I was a kid called 'The Final Countdown' starring Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen about an aircraft carrier that get sent back through time to the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was a very interesting premise but I think it could have gone farther on the struggle in the movie of whether they should intervene in the attack that they know will happen or let history run its course. Overall though I liked it.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c Back in Black - Glenn Beck's Nazi Tourette's www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party I found this absolutely hilarious last night!

With Philly's win tonight, it looks like the first game will be on Sunday because there is a concert in San Jose on Saturday night. That is a long time to wait, plus I have to work on Sunday so I won't get to see it if its an afternoon game on NBC.
