Seems like tomorrow might be a good day to have the portfolio in cash.
Gotta think Belichick starts to sweat whenever punter Chris Hansen asks to meet with him. How does he have time for punting and DatelineNBC?
So, for $216 per year, you can provide health coverage for 40 million of your fellow Americans. Not up for that? Then you are a pud.
Just saw myself erased from Dwight Goetz’s 7th grade yearbook on Facebook. Wondering WTF I ever did to him.

Seriously folks. If Palin becomes VP, the best and brightest of this nation need a plan for departure. Serious as a fucking heart attack.

If McCain is going to swipe a Van Halen song shouldn’t it be Panama, in honor of the nation of his birth? Besides, Van Hagar blows dog.
No good deed goes unpunished. Walking back across the yard after helping the neighbor, stung by a freaking wasp.
I could be covered in fire ants and tripping on PCP and Simon & Garfunkel’s Concert in Central Park would chill me right out.
Community Organizer vs. Governor →
What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.
Do you think McCain has an aversion to Venture Capitalists? Overall, his experience with VC has been pretty crappy.
