The Raw Story | Cunningham's wife tells all: Knives, guns, gay-bashing and delusion
The Raw Story Cunningham's wife tells all: Knives, guns, gay-bashing and delusion: "'When I was going to retire and become director of the Rhoades School, I made him promise to stop gay-bashing in public, because it might upset parents at that private school,' she said. She recalled when her husband addressed a group of men about his prostate surgery, he said his rectal procedure was 'just not natural, unless maybe you're Barney Frank.' Frank dismissed Cunningham's comment. 'I wouldn't list stability as his strongest personal characteristic,' he said."

Judge: Boys can serve sentence after football season
Football been so good to me....
Sure woulda sucked if those dudes hadda taken rithmitik or reedin' instead of football....
AP Wire 08/16/2006 Judge: Boys can serve sentence after football season
KENTON, Ohio - A judge decided two teenagers can complete their high school football seasons before they serve 60-day jail sentences for a car crash caused by a decoy deer placed in a country road.
Judge Gary McKinley, a retired Union County juvenile judge hearing the case in Hardin County Common Pleas Court, said he knows his decision will be criticized.
When Robert Roby Jr. of Kenton swerved to miss the decoy, he crashed his car into a pole and fence. His neck, collar bone, arm and leg were broken, and he has undergone 10 surgeries. His passenger, Dustin Zachariah, has brain damage, Bailey said.
McKinley also placed the two teens on house arrest. They must pay fines and restitution, perform community service and write a 500-word essay titled "Why I should think before I act."
Zachariah now has the cognitive ability of a sixth grader..... The teens' medical bills have reached $700,000 and are expected to top $1 million...
The superintendent said he doesn't foresee any problems at football games, which typically draw about 4,000 fans. He expects the season opener Aug. 25 against defending Division IV state champion Coldwater to attract a large crowd.

Chicken question?
Another cute E-mail from a friend. I liked Rummy's response the best....
Subject: Fwd: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on "THIS" side of the road before it goes after the problem on the "OTHER SIDE" of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not takingon his "CURRENT" problems before adding "NEW" problems.
OPRAH: Well I understand that the chicken is havingproblems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
DONALD RUMSFELD: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
ANDERSON COOPER/CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JUDGE JUDY: That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's why they call it the "other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain and simple as that!
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together - in peace. ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2006, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet explorer is an integral part of eChicken. The Platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^( C \..... reboot

WSJ.com - Welcome to Club Fed
WSJ.com - Welcome to Club Fed: "The closest thing to a lifetime sinecure in America is a federal government job, and now it turns out that it's also a very lucrative way to make a living.
New data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis confirm that the average federal civilian worker earns $106,579 a year in total compensation, or twice the $53,289 in wages and benefits for the typical private worker. This federal pay premium costs taxpayers big bucks because Uncle Sam's annual payroll is now $200 billion a year. No wonder that, with a per capita income of $46,782 a year, Washington, D.C. is the fourth richest among the nation's 360 metropolitan areas."

Eatin' heathy?
I just saw, on TV, a cholesterol ad where the drug sellin' chick asked me if I was "eating healthy?"
Can I buy "healthy" or do I "thank a teacher" for the corruption of our language?
I'm wondering...
I'm wondering when is the last time the AP titled a story "US successes in Afghanistan". And why not!
U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan: " (AP) As of Aug. 14, 2006, at least 263 members of the U.S. military have died in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan as a result of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to the Defense Department.
Of those, the military reports 162 were killed by hostile action."
Where was this engine made?
MLive.com: Newslogs: "The ferry service has canceled operation through Thursday due to a repair of a broken gear in an engine drive."
I'm wondering how 3 years does it in?
Big surprise!
Luxury Spending Found in Legal Program: "The federal program that provides legal help to poor Americans turns away half of its applicants for lack of resources. But that hasn't stopped its executives from lavishing expensive meals, chauffeur-driven cars and foreign trips on themselves."
No big deal. He's a democrat....
From his website: Donovan Riley - A Democrat who will vote like one for the 7th District(http://www.rileyforstatesenate.org/)The more you vote, the better you feel: "State Senate candidate Donovan Riley is a big believer in democracy.
So much so that he rarely misses a chance to vote.
And, in one case, Riley may have gone so far as to vote twice in the same election.
Yep, that's right - twice in the same election.
.......... Riley, a 69-year-old former CEO of the University of Illinois Hospital, voted twice in the 2000 general election, once in Chicago and then again in Oconomowoc (WI). A well-heeled liberal Democrat, Riley is running a vigorous primary campaign against state Sen. Jeff Plale, a conservative Dem from South Milwaukee.
Late Friday, Riley offered this stunning written response to the charges:
'My best recollection is that I was splitting my time between Wisconsin and Illinois, and it's possible I made a mistake. If the Elections Board decides to look into this matter, I will gladly assist.'
Not what you would call a vigorous defense.
They're not just biased. They're lazy morons!
Some wrongs never can be made right: "One apology isn't enough for Eddie Johnson. He wants an apology every day of every week for the next year, if not for the rest of his life. The Chicago Tribune, a national radio show and a number of TV stations have smeared his fine name, mistakenly identifying the Chicago-bred basketball legend and former University of Illinois star as the Eddie Johnson charged last week with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl in Florida."

Strongest Dad in the World[From Sports Illustrated, By Rick Reilly]
I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck.
Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the all in the same day. Dick's also pulled him cross-country skiing, taken him on his back mountain climbing and once hauled him across the U.S. on a bike. Makes taking your son bowling look a little lame, right?

MSU's kicking battle wide open -- for now
MSU's kicking battle wide open -- for now: "Neither sophomore Todd Boleski nor freshman Brett Swenson has taken the lead in Michigan State's competition to find its next placekicker.
According to coaches, they've been about even over the first week of practice.
'It's college football and his leg is about to drop off,' coach John L. Smith said of Swenson on Friday. 'It happens to all guys who come in for the first time, so we've kind of had him lay off a little bit. But I like what I'm seeing so far.'
As for Boleski, Smith said the 6-feet-6, 214-pound standout from spring workouts hasn't fallen off from his performances a few months ago.
'He doesn't know how good he can be,' Smith said. 'He just has a big leg. He's competing. I like how the two guys are handling everything.'
Smith said he could wait until the season opener to decide which player will kick if both remain competitive. Another option is using both during the season -- Swenson for short-yardage situations and Boleski for longer distances."

"rolling" fast
This is liberalism, folks....

MSU Smith on the bubble
Well, $1.6 million/year works out to about $300,000 per Spartan win under John L. The long knives are out!
John Niyo's Top 5: Win or else :
After 40 years at Penn State, Joe Paterno doesn't have to worry about job security. But here are five coaches who do:
Rich Brooks, Kentucky: A 9-25 record in his first three seasons -- and 4-20 in the Southeastern Conference -- earned Brooks a contract extension. But that was mostly to help with recruiting, and it won't mean a thing if the losing continues.
Dennis Franchione, Texas A&M: Cut-and-run wizard usually doesn't stay in one place for more than four or five years. He might not in College Station, either, unless ex-Western Michigan coach Gary Darnell can fix the defense this season.
Larry Coker, Miami (Fla.): A growing list of off-the-field problems wouldn't matter at Miami if not for three losses in each of the last two seasons. Coker, who's 53-9 with a national title to his credit, purged half his coaching staff last winter, so now it's on him.
John L. Smith, Michigan State: The Spartans' offense has been fun to watch -- and this fall it should be no different -- but another bowl game would help appease the restless fans in East Lansing. Beating Michigan wouldn't hurt, either."

Missing Egyptian Student Arrested At O'Hare: " a man at the Delta terminal at O'Hare International Airport tried to use a ticket to go to Bozeman, Montana, but his ticket was out of New York rather than Chicago, police Supt. Philip Cline said at a news conference.
A disturbance then ensued. "He was raising his voice for the level for the counter agent to call for the police officer to come over," Cline said.
The man, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Abou El Ela, 22, was found to be one of the missing Egyptian students, Cline said.
He was acting in a strange, erratic behavior, and the Delta supervisor and they went a little farther in their investigation with the ticket, and they discovered that he was one of the missing students that they were looking for, said Chicago police officer Tim Bolger, who arrived at the scene. "

Articles - The Death of Feminism: "Islamic terrorists routinely kidnap the most vulnerable civilians and hold them hostage. Hamas and Hizbullah, like Arafat�s PLO, hold their own people hostage as well, and hide both themselves and their weapons among Muslim civilians. "
Insurance screw job!
Wired 14.08: Pinch My Ride: "�Since you reportedly can account for all the vehicle keys, the forensic information suggests that the loss did not occur as reported,� the company wrote to Wassef, denying his claim. The barely hidden subtext: Wassef was lying."
They're not only liars, they're stupid!
Framing the story: "We hope doubters of media bias are paying attention to the photojournalism follies in Lebanon this week. It started with a Reuters freelance photographer's doctoring of images to exaggerate plumes of smoke and Israeli-wrought destruction in Beirut. The photographer was fired, which would have ended the matter, except that fresh irregularities at the New York Times, the Associated Press and U.S. News & World Report are emerging. As we said about the Reuters incident, media bias is a consensus, not a conspiracy."
The most important story of the year!
Read it all!
The Contrived News Story: "Think about how many times the media have concocted a story when there wasn't one to report. The president's Texas Air National Guard 'records', forged by someone for CBS, was only the most obvious, but the list is long. Enron as a Bush scandal. Richard Clarke's testimony to the 9-11 Commission taken as gospel and republished over and over without any examination of the underlying facts that proved much of it wrong. The Valerie Plame nonsense. Long-time war critic Jack Murtha suddenly given the Paris Hilton treatment. Blaming the president for Katrina's devastation of New Orleans. NSA listening to terrorists as 'domestic spying.'
The hypocrites in green!
USATODAY.com - Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe: "Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself. "

The Most Overrated Teams in College Football: "The Most Overrated Team Has Been ...
1. Michigan State-No matter how good they look or how many starters are back, do not do it. Do not champion the Spartans, America's most overrated college football program. Resist that temptation and you'll prove wiser than your peers in the end. Ten times since 1971, Michigan State has been ranked in the preseason. In nine of those years, they ended the season unranked. And there are some real clunkers in the school vault, including Bobby Williams' last team, which opened 2002 at No. 17, yet could only manage four victories and a host of off-field missteps.

Adams, 21, said his younger brother, Keith Ford, 18, was killed by a stray bullet in his hometown of Bradenton, Fla. Ford's death marked the third close friend or relative Adams has lost to violence since coming to Michigan State.
According to Adams, Ford was gunned down mistakenly at a car wash."

Heh......
The amazing "Progressives"
The Blogometer: 8/9: Nightmares and Dreamscapes: "Savour this moment. Cable exec Ned Lamont's (D) CT Dem primary win over Sen. Joe Lieberman (D) may well be the last time for a long time that bloggers from the left and right are genuinely pleased with the exact same election result. "
This election is a disaster for the Democrat Party and the MSM (Tim Russert/George Stephanopoulos, et al) is spinning it as a "wake up call to the GOP". Lieberman will retain his seat, Demo candidates will be forced to run as anti war extremists and the GOP will retain its hold on the Senate/Congress.
What is it with democrats that they don't mind being lied to by the MSM if it makes them feel good "right now!".
The threats begin!
National Review Online: "Friends,
Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war. Make no mistake about it: We, the majority of Americans, want this war ended and we will actively work to defeat each and every one of you who does not support an immediate end to this war."
Friends, indeed....

OpinionJournal - Extra: "In this context, mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, would have no meaning. At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead--hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers. For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint; it is an inducement."

R News: As It Happens, Where It Happens: "ALBANY, N.Y.-- Students with limited English could face a harder time taking state tests from now on.
State education officials said that any student with at least one year of U.S. schooling will have to take the regular English Language Arts exam. Until now, students with less than three years of U.S. schooling could take a different test for English as a second language.
The change affects about 90,000children in grades three through eight who speak limited English. The next test is in January.
New York has been under pressure from the federal government to improve its testing.
In June, the feds threatened the state with a loss more than a million dollars in aid per year if New York did not change its testing process within a year. "

New Registration Rules Stir Voter Debate in Ohio - New York Times
New Registration Rules Stir Voter Debate in Ohio - New York Times: "Under the law, passed by the Republican-led state legislature in January 2006, paid voter registration workers must personally submit the voter registration cards to the state, rather than allow the organizations overseeing the drives to vet and submit them in bulk.
By requiring paid canvassers to sign and put their addresses on the voter registration cards they collect, and by making them criminally liable for any irregularities on the cards, the rules have made it more difficult to use such workers, who most often work in lower-income and Democratic-leaning neighborhoods, where volunteers are scarce.

Hill Climb this weekend!
Muskegon Motorcycle Club - Home: "Once every two years, the west end of Mt. Garfield road becomes a site for the National Hill Climb, attracting nearly 10,000 spectators. This is your opportunity to see top professionals launch nitro charged bikes at a mountain of dirt, clay and sand that’s over 300’ long. This is about as extreme as a sport can get, and requires unique skills, after all when you add up the ingredients: A mountain of dirt with 3 huge jumps, highly flammable nitro, an insanely modified motorcycle, and a goal of getting fastest time.... Get the idea? It takes a professional, with the mental ability to not only overcome all of the aforementioned, but to make hundreds of calculations and adjustment in just a few seconds. Physical strength is important too, there is a lot of “muscling” the bike up the run and all of this while the nitro exhaust burns your eyes and nose. "
