I've had the unfortunate ability to watch almost every one of their games for the past 10 years at least. Luck beyond words. I wonder who they blew to get the fortune.

Arizona Mom Arrested After Telling Cops She Was Leaving Kids to Be a Stripper
An Arizona mom was arrested as she packed up for a future as a California stripper because she intended to leave her two young children behind, police said today.
And when her 11-year-old son tried to hug her before their separation, she made a fist and punched him in the stomach, according to police reports.
What a wasted wretch of human being.
66 | _RememberTonyC Tue, Jun 15, 2010 6:28:23pm |
Boston just needs to keep them in range ... LA NEEDED to come out strong, but if Boston hangs around and is only down 4-6 points heading into the 4th qtr, they may be OK. No word yet on Perkins and his health, but hopefully out of the next break we'll know something.
67 | MichaelJ Tue, Jun 15, 2010 6:28:43pm |

Of course he did. When Boston goes away from everything they've been doing to win so far and starts doubling and leaving players in the corner, of COURSE Artest is going to start hitting shots.

That's one hard hitting review. No doubt Beck will now play the victim card.
The only way he wouldn't do that is if the review were glowing. Something tells me Beck will get few such reviews. I may sample his book at Barnes and Noble, though. Just to be able to counter its Bad Craziness.

Lakers are playing like a desperate team, which they are. Boston is playing like a team that knows it only needs a split in LA to win the title. But while the loss of Perkins has been huge, the fact of the matter is that LA is dominating the paint, the boards, and swarming the Celtics on defense.

we'll know in the first 5:00 of the third quarter if this game will be competitive down the stretch. If Boston can chip 8 points off the lead in the first half of the third quarter, it may be a good game. But if Boston loses ground early in the third, you can probably stick a fork in them.

Rondo has played like crap..How many times did he just skip over the line, pass it off and hide on the wing or corner? You are a freaking NBA Point..You attack and control the ball....I loved when he ended up under the basket..Cause nobody gave a shit about guarding any more and he got a pass wide open and tried to dunk the ball and missed it...
He is playing point poorly...But the Celtics can win..And everybody in the world knows it..Well at least for the first 10 minutes...At that point call your bookie

you gotta credit LA's defense for a lot of that. missing bunnies is frequently the result of rushing shots, which is usually because you see someone coming after you.

Ozzy Osbourne is a science project...
Amazed Boffins Probe Ozzy's Genetic Code
Scientists are to map Ozzy Osbourne's genetic code in a bid to find out how he is still alive after decades of drug and alcohol abuse.The former Black Sabbath frontman is only one of a few people in the world to have his full genome analysed.
It is hoped the results from the £27,000 test, which takes three months, will provide information on how drugs are absorbed in the body.
Ozzy, 61, has lived a life that would presumably kill any ordinary person.
Even the singer himself cannot understand how he has survived this long, recently describing himself as a "medical miracle" after going on a "bender" for "40 years".
He has admitted drinking four bottles of cognac a day at one point, "blacking out, coming to again and carrying on".

From the perspective of a Celtics fan, I'd rather lose this game by 30 than by 10. If LA is smart enough to take their foot off the gas, the humiliation factor in game 7 will be decreased. But if they rub Boston's nose in it and win by 30, Boston will respond with much more intensity in game 7.

...This past Thursday, Police arrested two men who posted a Craigslist ad (pictured above) in an effort to try and trade a 32 GB iPod Touch and a sizeable amount of Pot in exchange for an iPad. And as if that wasn’t dumb enough, these enterprising young fellows actually posted a picture of their weed on a scale, sitting right next to a third-generation iPod Touch.Who knows, maybe the weed, which the Craigslist ad refers to as “blue dream straight outta cali”, had to be seen to be believed. Then again, if it was really that good, maybe they would have asked for the 64GB iPad 3G model instead.
In any event, after receiving a tip about the obviously illegal posting, undercover police officers answered the ad and subsequently arrested 20-year old Jacob Walker when they met up under the auspices of completing the advertised exchange. Also arrested was Walker’s partner in crime, 20-year old Joseph Velarde who also hails from Gilbert, Arizona. According to Gilbert Police Sergeant Mark Marino, the arrests were made once Walker proffered the Marijuana to the undercover agents.
Both now face charges for possession of an illegal substance and conspiracy to sell Marijuana.

After making ‘American English’ the official language of Texas, GOP recruits Latinos in Spanish.
This weekend, delegates of the Texas Republican Party voted to include a provision in their state party platform advocating for an immigration law similar to Arizona’s SB-1070. The platform also proposes “making American English the official language of Texas and the United States.” Nonetheless, the first video of a YouTube campaign aimed at attracting more Latinos to the party that was launched yesterday…in Spanish. Watch it:

Whoa...Olberdouche & Tingles didn't like Obama's speech.
Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman react to President Obama's Oval Office Address on the oil spill. Here are the highlights of what the trio said:
Olbermann: "It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days."
Matthews compared Obama to Carter.
Olbermann: "Nothing specific at all was said."
Matthews: "No direction."
Howard Fineman: "He wasn't specific enough."
Olbermann: "I don't think he aimed low, I don't think he aimed at all. It's startling."
Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a "commander-in-chief."
Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. "I'll barf if he does it one more time."
Matthews: "A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk."
Matthews: "I don't sense executive command."
Ouch.

Man claims cow seduced him for sex
An 18-year-old Indonesian man says he was seduced by a cow, and that's why he was having sex with it.
A neighbour caught Gusti Ngurah Alit allegedly wooing the farm animal on Sunday, the village chief on the resort island of Bali said, the Times newspaper in Johannesburg, South Africa reported Friday.
"He was caught by one of the residents standing naked while holding the back of the cow," village chief Embang Ida Bagus Legawa said in the newspaper.
Alit said he didn't see an animal, he saw a beautiful young woman.
"She called my name and seduced me, so I had sex with her," the man told the newspaper.
Alit underwent a cleansing ritual. The village chief gave the owner of the cow the equivalent of $562.
The cow was reportedly drowned in the sea to rid the village of bad luck.

This is litigious society.

In this case it's seen as a political tool by both Democrats and Republicans that each want to blame each other.
Then we have the Greens who want to nationalize BP which would be interesting since they are a British company. Whatever you can think of it will happen. I'm sure there are people that are offended in one form or another.
I don't know. Getting really tired of the Chinese fire drill and the sky is falling mentality about this oil spill from all sides. I was just talking to the cashier at my local store about how America stopped when Paris Hilton was taken to prison for that drunk driving offense.

Pelosi's new office is House's costliest by far
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has more than quadrupled the rent on her San Francisco district office, making the $18,736-a-month cost of her new South of Market space the highest in the House, according to a new report.The rent - part of Pelosi's budget, which is funded by taxpayers - is nearly double the next-highest rent in the House: Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., pays $10,600 a month for his Manhattan office, while representatives from Sacramento, Boston and Los Angeles pay nearly that much, the report said.
The financial data were compiled from public records by the nonprofit Sunlight Foundation and Roll Call, a political newspaper. Information from the database is not yet available online.
Pelosi moved in the fall from the federal building at 450 Golden Gate Ave. to the 18-story federal building at 90 Seventh St. She had been paying about $4,300 a month for her old office, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said.
Why not find a much more expensive office right now? Our government has lots of money to burn.

Don't let anybody tell you the value of chess is thinking ahead. You don't need chess to do that. Chess teaches you about grinding away at the limits of your imagination. Never have I done anything like sitting at a table for an hour and a half and get up so completely wasted. I knew the kids on the other side were more experienced than me. Some of those kids were featured in a local news story when they were in grade school. I wasn't above .500, but I won more than a few games and I definitely earned their respect.

Sharron Angle Left Far-Right Third Party For Electoral Expedience, Members Say
The key to understanding Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle may be the fact that she has not always been a Republican.
For at least six years in the 1990s before she held state-level elective office, Angle was a member of the little-known Independent American Party, a right-wing party that combines elements of Ron Paul's doctrinaire libertarianism -- pro-gun, anti-tax, anti-bureaucracy, pro-states' rights -- with Christian social conservatism and fear of the "North American Union" and other forms of "global government." The small party attracted considerable controversy in 1994 when it took out a newspaper ad titled "Consequences of Sodomy: Ruin of a Nation," which suggested HIV could spread through the water.
Three members of the Independent American Party tell TPM that Angle, a Nye County, Nevada, school board member at the time, was an active member of the party in the 1990s. They say she only left the Independent American Party and became a Republican out of political expediency when she decided to seek a seat in the state assembly, to which she was elected in 1998.
The Independent American Party is a Protestant political party in the United States that has several state affiliates. It was founded in 1998. This should not be confused with the Independent American Party of Nevada, the Nevada affiliate of the Constitution Party. As of 2006, only three of its candidates have achieved elected office.
The party traces its roots back to George Wallace's American Independent movement of 1968. They are against the concept of the New World Order, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations. They also oppose secularism, abortion, and the welfare state.
At their 2008 Convention on September 12, 2008, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the IAP endorsed Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Chuck Baldwin for President.

The FBI was tipped off that the three Kennedy brothers, Marilyn Monroe and members of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack held sex parties in John F. Kennedy's suite at The Carlyle hotel, according to confidential bureau files revealed yesterday.
An FBI report on the alleged orgies at the Upper East Side hotel was prompted by a July 1965 disclosure from a "reliable" Mafia informant that the mob wanted to use women supplied by "associates of Frank Sinatra" to embarrass the Kennedys in New York.
The women were to "be placed in compromising situations" with Robert and Ted Kennedy and their brother-in-law, actor Peter Lawford, the confidential memo said.
The mob wanted to smear Robert F. Kennedy because of his war on organized crime as US attorney general from 1961 to 1964, the informant said. But the FBI didn't investigate the claims, the bureau said.
The documents were among 2,352 pages of FBI files unveiled yesterday on Ted Kennedy, who died last August after a battle with cancer.

And note how this is being taken in Britain. BP was their largest company, something like 80 billion has been wiped out, one in seven dollars earned by a pension fund was BP dividends. They feel like there is anti-British sentiment and a desire to destroy the company.

Why not find a much more expensive office right now? Our government has lots of money to burn.
If she moved from one federal building to another, doesn't that mean the GAO is the landlord, and various other agencies and legislators are are just playing shuffleboard with the budget?

Obama & the Democrat's poll numbers have tanked since they passed ObamaCare and most Americans want the bill repealed. Besides, the CBO continues to crunch numbers and the last I heard the bill wasn't going to save any money as was advertised. In fact it's going to cost money, and the CBO ain;t finished yet.
We were told it was going to lower health care costs and give us more coverage.
Employer health care costs to jump 9% in 2011
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Companies that offer health plans will see their costs jump 9% in 2011, and most employees will pay higher deductibles as a result, said a report released Monday.
Employers will try to offset cost increases by requiring their workers to shell out more cash before coverage kicks in, according to a survey of 700 employers by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Big time. About $71 Billion so far. Almost every pension fund has shares.
About $71 billion in lost share value in the UK.
BP's position at the top of the London Stock Exchange and its previous reliability have made it a bedrock
of almost every pension fund in the country, meaning its value is crucial to millions of workers. The firm's dividend payments, which amount to more than £7 billion a year, account for £1 in every £6 paid out in dividends to British pension pots.

Agreed, but it must be said that both parties were of more of a mind to deal at that time (though the government shutdown of 1994-95 was a major collision that Gingrich got worsted in). With the GOP controlling Congress and Bill Clinton in the White House, cooperation was required to do anything. Moreover, the Senate Dems still had a party leader (Clinton) who was an officeholder and had an interest in getting things done.

There was no House overreach. A compromise bill between the House and the Senate was well on it's way in December, but the unexpected result in the MA special election changed this calculus.

It is true that the stock price fall is hysteria--for now. The market is pricing in the worst case scenario, and probably worse than the cleanup costs will end up. But that stock will rebound if the cleanup costs do not exceed BP's ability to pay them. If the cleanup costs exceed BP's ability to pay them, then unfortunately for the investors they will lose their investment unless BP is bailed out. It would seem it should be Great Britain to take the lead on the bailing, though.

My investment manager is clever enough not to put everything in one stock. Mutual Funds by definition aren't all in one stock. Very sad, but get over it.
So one stock isn't going to have dividends for awhile. Worst case, the money invested in that stock is lost, and the pension fund will run with less of a cushion (assuming they're defined benefit plans) than they're used to. Those poor sad pensioners still have their govt pensions, those who had an extra private retirement fund aren't going to be doing quite as well as they'd expected. But they're not going to starve, they're not going to lose their homes, and nobody's going after them for extra cash. Some of their stock didn't pan out, that's all.

The issue isn't the clean up costs. Those are likely a fraction of the lost value. It is the rhetoric and the hysteria. The President himself going after the company like that.
That is bad form, I agree. BP doesn't deserve any sympathy, but political hand-wringing isn't going to make it any better.

re: #556 Bagua
I'm not taking you seriously after your admission. You said you couldn't read one and stopped after one more. The obvious meaning was that you hadn't read even one fully.
That's not at all what I said.re: #546 JasonA
No. One of them requires registration. And I stopped reading another one when I saw "Britain's flagship country."
Can you read that? Can you, Bag? Tell me what it fucking says. Does it say I didn't read any of them? Does it?

wow... got here late... made a Laker post, went to the bottom of the thread, now it is a BP post... :p
Nice job Lakers.. My key play of the game was when Farmar dove on the floor and got the ball between 2 green cats... That is the hustle that is a must!

They obviously made a mistake and are spending hundreds of millions to correct it. They are protected with a $75 million dollars liability protection which they have said they will waive and are donating $500 million just to study the environmental impacts. Yet the President appears bent on their destruction.

Hey man, something is off with you tonight. Since when are you the hostile type?

I think Obama is just more worried about covering his political butt than trashing BP--that part is incidental.
We also want BP to be around to pay the bill--so we shouldn't try to drive them to bankruptcy.

Honestly? Matrix is the kind of guy I want to reach through the screen and smack. He does get me a little riled up.

re: #548 Bagua
Nope. That was a collapse. This is hysteria. There were no hounds braying for AIG's blood forcing it to collapse. That was limited to the loss, not exaggerated in a media and political frenzy.
What is similar is that it is little people who pay the price.
AIG's "collapse" was engineered by AIGs unethical and unsustainable business practices. Just like BP, just like Enron, actual and official greed based corporate malfeasances that led directly to foreseeable real world consequences.

I'm not saying Obama is even aware of this. Look how shocked people are to hear about how some Brits see this and are being effected by this? They have to blink their eyes a few times. What?

I figured that. I'm not immune to getting riled up and barking at the wrong person.

I'm not immune to yelling at stupid ass people/posts/ideas/fans either. Don't really regret it. I wear my heart on my sleeve.

Nope, those were real financial blow ups. BP is being punished, this is punitive.
