Yeah, to keep those godforsaken criminals on the streets! My brother is attorney, not criminal defense, but I do really understand the role you play. I once had a discussion with a friend of his. A real Texas-style defense attorney. He was (drunkenly) explaining his role in our system. I will paraphrase: "Everyone deserves an advocate in our system. That's what I do. I advocate for 'em. I not only keep 'em outta jail, I get their guns back for 'em!"

He made a horrible, indefensible call and should be reprimanded. I don't know his history, but I've always respected his on-field demeanor and listened to a lot of commentators (before Sunday) call him one of the league's best. I was impressed by this article from a San Diego paper: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/sulli...17sullivan.html

All schools are required to teach about the Constitution "on or around September 17". My lesson is always pretty much the same. An explanation on how a federal law requiring a local school to teach a specific topic on a specific day violates the spirit of the Constitution itself.

Please for give my ignorance: What is the exact connection between UT and the Bottle Rockets?

Doesn't look like an artist's den to me.

Anyone else thinks we're getting a little too sensitive around here when Jules posts this.

Lucky! Just watched the Swell Season episode.

Here's a link to the Atlantic Monthly article. For some reason I assumed they wouldn't publish full articles online.

Not this again, we all know there's only one right answer AM BT ST YHF AGIB SBS Geez... Oops, wrong thread.

There was an interesting article Atlantic Monthly a few months back about the Volt and how it's GM's last attempt to salvage itself. It sounds like it 's a long way from working the way they want it to. But if it does, they could really give Toyota and everyone else a run for the money.

The showed that play HS play on SportsCenter last night. Unbelievable. That was one of the best games I've seen in a while. It was like watching Arena Football.

Hmm... I agreed w/ pretty much everything but this. I usually hate hate Kenan Thompson, but I thought that sketch was hilarious. Esp. when Michael Phelps said something like, "You know how hard it is to train to win a gold medal" and Barkley said, "Yeah, ummm... no. Michael Jordan basically asked me to come play poker in Barcelona for 2 weeks. There's only one catch. You have to leave the casino every once in a while to go play basketball against Angola."

5 freakin' field goals, up 15-0 over Indy and we still lose 18-15.

Me too, sorry to all who knew and respected this man and/or his work. Esp. jnick

Charlie Louvin is opening some dates, but I don't think DM. In other 97's news they had a great appearance on World Cafe this week. These guys are huge NPR darlings, that's how I discovered them 7 years ago and they've probably had 5 appearances on NPR since their latest album came out.

Appreciated, as far as I know my brother is riding it out.

John Ellis - One Foot In the Swamp A saxophonist who used to play with jazz guitarist, Charlie Hunter. This is a fine CD!

From his blog:

20 years old?? Wow!

If we factor in length of post, he's probably contributed more than anyone.

I told my brother in Houston that I hope Ike treats him better than he treated Tina.

Around $3.34 in Des Moines. It's amazing the way the Republicans have managed to corner the commodities market. Well done, Senator McCain and Governor Palin.
