Santa can be rather creepy. The effects of Sandy on local newspapers. A history of peanut butter. Voyager I has reached a new region of deep space.

Minnesota Lakers
Washington Wolves

I’m in favor of the Hornets moving the name back to Charlotte. Neither New Orleans or Charlotte has any brand identity right now and going back to Hornets will certainly help Charlotte. Granted, winning would help as well, but I think that’s soon coming. Really enjoy watching Bobcats games this year when I’m in NC for work…Actually somewhat resemble a professional team instead of a pack of Division III cast offs.

“The Mexican American Student Association is disappointed in the attire chosen by this sorority. It in no way represents our culture. Not only have they chosen to stereotype our culture with serapes and sombreros, but the insinuation about drug usage makes this image more offensive. Our country is plagued by a drug war that has led to the death of an estimated 50,000 people, which is nothing to be joked about.”
Unless things have drastically changed since I was there, this organization has to have about 10 people in it. I also liked how they didn’t mention the signs relative to the stereotypical landscape work/mowing grass almost saying “well yeah that part is true”.

Not even remotely the point of the article.
Point is that Burkle has a history of dealing well with unions and is the second richest owner in the sport, and people listen when he talks.
Also this
At the center of this fragile momentum is the presence of the Pittsburgh Penguins, led by reclusive billionaire owner Ron Burkle, who shined brightly in talks Tuesday, according to sources, the players receptive to his tone.

New Orleans is changing its name from Hornets to The Pelicans next season
Typical tone-deaf move from Benson.
When I think N.O. Pelicans, I think baseball, and always will.

Proxima Centauri is 4.26 light years away and as of a year ago, Voyager 1 was 17 light hours away. We are lonely
If I could have that amount of distance between me and most people on this earth, I would be quite happy, not lonely.

Cutting spending isn’t easy, of course, because the recipients of government subsidies and benefits—public employees, early retirees, large companies getting expensive favors, local governments with no fiscal discipline, and on and on—are well represented in the political arena, while taxpayers are not.
Funny how you never see those in favor of spending cuts mention these guys. It’s all about those that make with the food stamps.

Ashley Judd is thinking of running for Senate
If she divests herself of her wardrobe while campaigning, she has my vote.

Government debt is not the problem unemployment, stagnant wages and consumer debt is the problem. Spending cuts exacerbates all of those problems you fucktards.

Cornwallis referred to Charlotte as a “veritable nest of hornets.” Thus the name.
Charlotteans are under the impression that their ancestors started the American Revolution and wrote the real Declaration of Independence. I gathered that much during my five years there.

The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, one of history’s greatest lies!
I shit you not there’s a corn maze north of the city that is shaped like a horse rider carrying the declaration.
