What the hell is going on in New Orleans? Sure, he’s 34 years old. He was also one of the more effective CBs we had. Who do they plan on replacing him with?
Also, since we like players with injury problems (such as the OT we took in the first round), why aren’t we going after Peter Boulware?
And what about Ty Law?
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Tomorrow is the day that we worship Will Smith and Bill Pullman for protecting our “right to live” (life) from space aliens who use that evil symbol of homosexuality, the upside triangle as their front door. Thank you Roland Emmerich for showing us that even a stripper can be redeemed if she gets married to a good upstanding soldier moments before the world will end. Oh and also that the first person to die should the apocalypse arrive will be a flaming gay man who is obsessed with his mother.
By now, I’m pretty sure everyone knows that I don’t believe the movie Independence Day is a harmless summer blockbuster, but instead a insidious piece of right-wing conservative propoganda under the cover of an action movie.
Luckily, tomorrow, we also celebrate the fact that Roland Emmerich and Will Smith have the right to make shitty movies, and I have the right to point out that their movie is shitty.
Happy 4th, everyone!
Photos that Amber took during last Mardi Gras were accepted into the 2005 Art + Commerce Emerging Photographers Festival.
In her own words:
“I guess it pays to skip work, spend money you don’t have and drink until you are thristy again. (a la Sheryl Crow). Go figure.”
Way to go Amber, we’re very proud.

10:00 A.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT: I appreciate the Secretary of Energy joining me today. He’s a good man, he knows a lot about the subject, you’ll be pleased to hear. I was teasing him — he taught at MIT, and — do you have a PhD?
SECRETARY BODMAN: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, a PhD. (Laughter.) Now I want you to pay careful attention to this — he’s the PhD, and I’m the C student, but notice who is the advisor and who is the President. (Laughter and applause.)
What an asshole.
I think these sandals are just about the coolest thing in the whole wide world.
I promise to use them only for good, never for evil. Ok, maybe I will use them sometimes for mischeif, but mischief is not like hitch-hiking on Satan’s highway or surfing in the devil’s ocean. It’s more like shooting out the streetlamp of blind faith with a holy BB gun.
ps I wear a size 9-10.
Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there!
ESPN.com – NFL – Quick out: Hakim spurns Chiefs, likely joining Saints
Demonstrating once again that the long green typically trumps long relationships in the NFL, veteran free-agent wide receiver Az-Zahir Hakim on Friday afternoon backed out of a contract agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs, a deal that would have reunited him with head coach Dick Vermeil.It is believed that Hakim, who had recently visited with New Orleans officials, will now sign with the Saints.
I’m not the biggest Az-Zahir fan, but we do need a wide receiver and a return man.
St. Paul Pioneer Press | 06/10/2005 | Moss rates Collins over Culpepper
Randy Moss says his new quarterback with the Oakland Raiders, Kerry Collins, is better overall than his former quarterback, Daunte Culpepper of the Vikings.
Moss, traded by the Vikings to the Raiders this spring, said so during an ESPN “SportsCenter” interview.
“When it comes to athleticism, Daunte has Kerry beat by a large margin,” the controversial wide receiver said. “But Kerry has pocket presence and knows how to read defenses. So Kerry has a slight step over Daunte.”
This will be a monster year for good old Vodka Collins. Randy says.
Our three-man team at trivia last night started strong, then bombed in the second round, where we only scored 20 points out of 40 or so. We were the penultimate team after the first round, and moved up a spot in the second. We did, however, pull out the final question: “Which letter does not appear in any of the elements’ names or symbols on the periodic table?” Our correct answer took us 4 points away from third place. Not good enough, but we felt good getting the final question right for once.
In other news, I really need a camera phone. All sorts of good pictures to take on my walk to work this morning. The house on the corner is taking down a huge tree in their yard. I’m not sure if it fell down and they had to cut it, or they just decideded to chop it down. My bet is that it got hit in the big lightning storm we had on Sunday.
Also, the new gorillaz album rocks.
