Oh yeah – I’ve coached youth baseball and football. Here’s the criteria in the draft:
1. Player ability
2. Calm/helpful parents
3. Hot mom
Football moms are generally hotter than baseball moms.

to add to the above player draft criteria …
we have a kid in our park who grandfather is an ex-major leaguer. We’ve been trying to get him on our team for a while.
The kids mom is a total smoke show and as nice as she can be. So he maxes out on all 3 criteria.

Tweeted a pic of me on the driving range last night. Rare night of no family, so I took to the golf course.
I needed to work on some of the major issues that playing Scarlet from the Scarlet tees did to me on Sunday. Had 10 pars, but also had 3 quads and a triple. Ouch. Talk about treacherous greens.

this – yes wow … not sure I’m comfortable with that ruling just based on the fact that it could be used as a precedent for future legislation (like taxes on gun ownership, home ownership, other insurance, etc). I like a lot if the bill, but the whole “do it or we tax you” part is a bit unsettling – not w/ regard to health care but other every day behavior/rights.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and inside those walls people with guns will hurt each other, and those victims need health care. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Obamacare and you curse the HMOs. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That our Supreme Court appeal of Obamacare’s, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my HMO’s existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me defending insurance companies, you need me defending the HMO’s. We use words like honor, code, loyalty, and billing rates. We use these words as the backbone of a economy spent defending the 1%. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very healthcare that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a scalpel and apply a band-aid from a first aid kit.. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Did they announce the vote on that? Safe to assume Scalia authored the dissent?
June 28th, 2012 at 10:46 AM
Im grateful for the assistance i got while unemployed and flat broke but it shouldnt be mandated to get insurance. It should just be readily available at an affordable cost if you want to get insurance.

Roman polanski moved back to the states? Interesting
June 28th, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Kennedy read the dissent so I assume he authored it. The vote was 5-4.
June 28th, 2012 at 10:50 AM
In fact, all insurance should be this way, right? Car, homeowner, etc

Any day where the Federal Gov’t has their power exponentially increased is a bad day for the country in the long run.

im less outraged on people being given medical coverage than i am that we waste $bllions on stopping people from getting a good buzz on all while ignoring the giant armed-to-the-teeth elephant stomping around in america’s basement.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but NOWHERE IN THIS LINK is there a reference to the WSJ having the intern make up quotes. In fact, it states that the intern apparently made up quotes on her own and was fired.
I’m as big a Murdoch detractor as there is, but in this case, TBL’s headline is made up as well.

Like the declaration of independence, what a dark day that was.

If more women would get naked in public on a daily basis, the world would have a lot fewer problems like people getting run over, war, pestilence, etc.

So we’re comparing government’s power to make their people purchase something to the Declaration of Independence? At least you didn’t reach there….
June 28th, 2012 at 10:59 AM
Damn straight…
June 28th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
There’s absolutely no such thing as an exponential increase in federal power.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
Well not anymore anyway.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
And this is as about as narrow of a ruling for the government’s power as there possibly could have been but by all means hit that panic button.

So if you dont have insurance by 2014, you get fined either $285 or 1% of your income..whatever is higher..by 2016, 2085 or 2.5%, higher of the two…thats the part which is most fucking stupid to me.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
No panic button here mole. Just another head shake / shoulder shrug. Just tired of everyone talking about the needs and importance of small business in this country followed by another strike against it. I’m sure the 27 families that I employ will enjoy having their health care costs rise because without passing some of the costs along to them, the company will lose its ass. Hope it all works out…obviously politicians and judges know more about what’s good for business and the economy than those of us who are actually involved in it.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:11 AM
that’s not the same thing in the slightest.

A Jim Morrison reference is perfect for this site, as he’d be the Lizard King of dong pictures in today’s social media fervor.
Any of you Metroplexers familiar with Coyote Ridge? A buddy of mine loves that place, and I’m thinking of giving it a shot.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:14 AM
This my main objection to Obamacase — “You’re too poor to buy health coverage? Well, we’ll fine you for that!”
My take being that just about everyone would buy coverage if it was affordable. How about this? If you mandate coverage, mandate a cap on premiums as well.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:16 AM
that’s an attack on being able to profiteer on health care, son. un-fucking-american.

If you’re still working down in the UP, LB Houston might be a good place to hook up after work for 18 in the summers now that they’re re-doing the course.
if it is decent shape, thats a good idea. i used to go out there about 515 in the summer and get a full round in for 20 bucks.

Next up: Federal government requires all Americans to golf once a week, with cart. This who do not golf are fined 1% of income.
Golf courses raise green fees to average of $500 per round, with cart an additional $200.

The lobbyists and Super Pacs are their constituents simply because they pay more.
June 28th, 2012 at 11:39 AM
Yeah, here’s the deal. Accountant tells me it will be cheaper to pay the penalty for not offering insurance than the cost of providing employer provided insurance. Guess what I’m going to do? And now all those employees who were getting health insurance with pre-tax dollars will be paying with after-tax dollars. Whether most of the dumbasses will notice this is questionable.

scripty, that was pretty damn impressive. I stand and salute you, sir.
OBTW, the Waldo Canyon (COS) fire is slowing down somewhat. Lots of rebuilding to come. Tuesday night around here sucked. Came close to evac’ing, but east of I-25 was untouched.
June 28th, 2012 at 12:18 PM
SROD, that fire looked damn wrath-of-god when juxtapositioned again the AFA stadium. Scary but awesome.
June 28th, 2012 at 12:22 PM
nada, the Tuesday night part was wild. From 2pm on to sundown, we had 100-degree temps, 40 to 50 knot winds and crazy amounts of dead foliage. Great combo for staring a big fire.
Watching that stuff up close, I tried to stay calm, but I expected to get an evacuation order in the middle of the night.
It was a miracle the USAFA campus wasn’t touched. And, this morning, some embers touched off small fires just north of USAFA. Amazing stuff.
