I will be lucky if I am half the man my father has proven to be.

Adding insult to injury...not only did I have to bury my beloved mother this weekend, we had stormy weather in DFW and Doctor Who didn't record. Not to equate the two at all, but my daughter and I were looking to watching it today as a bit of mind numbing relief from the unrelenting sadness of thi weekend. The capper to a really crappy weekend.

Today, my family buried my mother. She had suffered a massive stroke seven years ago, and she was unable to speak and paralyzed on her right side. My father...my devoted, steadfast, ever faithful father made it his mission to keep her as comfortable as humanly possible and cared for her in our family home for seven years. I have learned many things in my life, but my father has shown me how a real man acts. No posturing, No whining. No asking for sympathy. Simply doing the right thing. As difficult as it was, he cared for her. She died three days after her 81st birthday, in her home. L

It must be exhausting to see conspiracy behind every tree.

Carter wasn't at war, Carter was involved in a hostage situation and with the massive failure at Desert One on his score card.

I disagree with your assessment...he is THE biggest asshole in rock history.

Wartime Presidents get reelected. If there is an October attack, more than likely Obama would benefit.

I see that you saw what I did there...

That crazy bitch has feuded with so many people that I kept it to the most amusing ones. (She's even feuded with her daughter).

I find that one lacking a little firepower. Outside of Jay making some odd accusations while promoting a record and Jeff being quoted for a fawning band biography...really no steam or vitriol.

My thoughts exactly.

The MVP award has become about who has the best stats, not who the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER is. Best stats = Miguel Cabrera. Most VALUABLE player...that is going to be heavily influenced by who we watch on a daily basis. My MVP is Adrian Beltre. I don't get a vote.

Nasty or silly, intra or inter band. There are really two kinds of feuds...legitimate hatred and publicity driven Real Angst by real people...a lot of it one sided. Most of it involving drugs. John Fogerty vs. the rest of Creedence (Heavy Weight Division. Maybe the absolutely greatest feud of all time. Family, Dynamics, Band Dynamics, Money...all it needs is a smack addict.) Courtney Love vs. Dave Grohl (Fighting over a memory. Crazy lady keeping it going 20 years down the line.) Courtney Love vs. Trent Reznor (Cocaine, collaboration and coitus with a crazy chick do not mix) Phil vs.

Reasonable episode...but fell into the trap of trying to cram too much into the show.. I

What year did Draw the Line come out? That was when I was out.

REM...but it's more that I can't stand any REM since Bill Berry left Emerson Lake and Palmer John (Cougar) Mellancamp

If Cabrera wins the triple crown and doesn't win the MVP, then they ought to stop giving the damn thing. The hitting Triple Crown in one of the rarest accomplishments in Professional sports. People are STILL talking about Ted Williams not winning the MVP in 1941.

I was going to make a snarky, even bitter post here, then it hit me. Why am I now so dismissive and disdainful of a band I used to love?

I want to go on record with an official admission. When the Rangers were unable to resign Cliff Lee after the 2010 season, I thought the signing of Adrian Beltre was a stopgap consolation prize. I Was Wrong. Beltre is the best thrid baseman in the game, one of the best of all time, a clutch hitter and a defensive wizard. No Matter how the MVP vote goes (and Trout winning over Cabrera is likely and a travesty to boot), Beltre is the best player in the game right now. Watching him game in and game out, he is simply stellar. I'm watching every game (and getting more than a little baseball

another mind creaking as it closes...

There were moments when I was watching Dig! that I simply couldn't believe that some of it wasn't staged. Anton is a scary genius.

I watched this yesterday...really cool stuff.
