Great Scott! -or- Why I Support the Individual Mandate
The idea behind insurance is that you pay a premium and if things go pear-shaped, there's a safety net there to catch you. It may not pay everything but it will pay enough that you won't be ruined. This is true for vehicles, this is true for health care and this is true for the guy who got his crotch insured.
The thing about insurance is that it works best with larger economies of scale. Sure, there are the one-off specialty policies for Bruce Springsteen's voice or Tina Turner's legs but the vast majority of insurance policies cover things like health care or vehicle damage. The larger the pot, the lower your premium because the risk gets spread out. That's why Obama made the "individual mandate" the centerpiece of his health care legislation.
For me, this is the most frustrating aspect of the legal challenge to the legislation. The main challenge lies in the interpretation of the Commerce clause of the Constitution but, like many clauses in the Constitution, this can and has been interpreted many different ways. Pretty much it just depends on how the Court feels the day it votes. And if the court is feeling especially conservative the day it decides this portion of the case, the "individual mandate" disappears.
The problem with the mandate disappearing is that the young and the stupid who think that they are invincible no longer have any pressure to purchase insurance, shrinking the pot. This has two effects. Number one, the pot now contains a greater percentage of people with existing or possible health problems meaning the risk has gone up and the premiums along with it. The second problem is that when one of these young and stupid people ends up in the hospital, the system is forced to eat the costs because they didn't have insurance. What that really means is that your premiums go up again because the cost of that hospital stay has to be payed by someone.
Like it or not, the law evolves. Prohibition came and went. The Dred Scott decision embarrassed the nation and then was rectified by the 14th Amendment. The point is, it's a living thing and has to be to cope with the realities of a new era. Baseball did away with the dead ball era, expanded multiple times and even now finds ways to adapt to new conditions. The law does the same as social mores change and our needs evolve. Right now, we need a health insurance system that works and until you can show me a viable option, the individual mandate is the only realistic path.
The Court's decision is still weeks away and the debate is not going to die out anytime soon. I don't expect the mandate to survive but as health care costs continue to spin out of control, that decision may end up coming back to haunt the Roberts' Court like Dred Scott did Justice Taney. Meanwhile, the rest of us might just have to check in with The Boss and see how we can go about insuring at least a body part or two.

"…until you can show me a viable option , the individual mandate is the only realistic path". This is horrific logic that presumes that this abomination of a healthcare bill is itself a viable option. It's like a theist telling you that until you can prove exactly how the universe was created, their invisible sky daddy is the only viable option. Just because a proposal has been offered does not mean said proposal is a viable solution.
Also by your logic, we may as well not even have a constitution. The whole purpose of the damn thing is to limit the power of the federal government. If you are constantly "interpreting it in different ways" and giving more and more power to the federal government, why have a constitution period?

Whether it's on late-night TV or overheard out in the world, there are go-to jokes people vomit up as their default attempt at making a witty observation. These jokes have entered the public domain and people use them over and over and over and over and, yet again, over, because that's the only response they know to a particular situation. We've all heard these bland, cliche jokes repeated so often in so many places that we just accept them. They're easy targets.
Well, it's about time we retired these lame jokes and shipped them off to a hospice so they can die in peace after years of overuse. Their time is done.
4Taco Bell Gives People Diarrhea
On the subject of your ass being ripped apart by the geyser of liquid shit rocketing out of you mere moments after sinking your teeth into anything from Taco Bell, I have to call bullshit. There is nothing inherent within Taco Bell's food that will flip your rectum inside-out. It's a joke on an incredibly easy target, and there are two reasons it exists: 1) Mexican food can make you gassy because of all the protein, fiber, and spiciness, and 2) the low quality of fast food. Jam those together and you've got an infinitely reliable poop joke.
Ingram Publishing/Ingram Publishing/Getty Images
I couldn't find a picture of the infinity symbol made of turds, so use this as a template as you imagine it.
If since birth you've eaten nothing but unsalted crackers and chicken broth like you're always 24 hours away from a colonoscopy, then yes, Taco Bell may cause you to explode. Taco Bell doesn't serve engine parts wrapped in shoe leather -- you should be able to digest something as basic as beans and cheese without being crippled into the fetal position on your bathroom floor as bursts of poop spray out of you. A burrito is not a big deal.
FranzGustincich/iStock/Getty Images
Not Taco Bell.
Yeah, you might be a little gassy afterward, but if you get diarrhea after eating Taco Bell and it's not related to food poisoning, you probably aren't long for this world. A taco destroyed your body and now your insides are melting. A goddamned taco. If the old "Taco Bell gives me the shits" joke perfectly describes you, you are weak. It's not a healthy meal, but it's not like they're getting their meats and cheeses out of another restaurant's hot dumpster. Their weird, corporatized Tex-Mex-style cuisine is fine. It's you -- the joke is on you and your piss-poor constitution. Much like Dorothy could always get home from Oz even without her special shoes, you need to recognize that the diarrhea was inside you the whole time.
3The Wait at the DMV
Scott Olson/Getty Images News/Getty Images
For our international readers, the Department of Motor Vehicles is where we Americans go to take our driving test when we're 16 so we can get our driver's license and then legally drive like an asshole until we die from it. It's famous for being a bit of a nightmare. Lots of bureaucracy, lots of waiting, lots of moving from one line to another. The DMV has been a cornerstone of American humor since the first comedian went to the local DMV and had the same mildly unpleasant experience as everyone else.
CursedSenses/iStock/Getty Images
"Two! I've killed two people since I got this thing!"
The problem with the comedic referencing of the DMV isn't that it's wildly incorrect -- the place can and will occasionally suck. The problem is that no one ever goes to the DMV enough for it to make a significant impact on their lives. I went to the DMV when I was 16 to take my driver's test and I've never been back. Every issue with my driver's license that's cropped up has been handled through the Internet since 2002. Unless you're a vehicular sociopath and getting your license revoked and reinstated is somehow a regular occurrence for you, the wait at the DMV should be a minor blip. It's a persistent reference point based on a place most people in America visit, at absolute most, a handful of times throughout their entire lives. And one of those happens to be one of the best days of anyone's life: the day they earn a card that legally allows them to drive a car.
CursedSenses/iStock/Getty Images
"Still pretty happy about those two people I killed!"
Now, let's get numerical: The national average for DMV wait time is 34.2 minutes. Compare that to the average national wait time in a doctor's office (which will have way less people walking through every day because there are tons of doctor's offices in a city, or even a neighborhood), which is 20.2 minutes. Considering every weirdo and their weirdo friend who lives within 10 miles of your local DMV is at your DMV the same day as you, 34.2 minutes isn't bad.
Jokes about the DMV suck not just because they're hacky, but statistically as well.

text: The commercials for a variety of toning shoes make it look so easy to get in shape. "I'm toning my muscles, strengthening my core …" "Proven to tone your hamstrings …" But, as more people buy them, Consumer Reports medical adviser Dr. Orly Avitzur is hearing more frequently about injuries. "One patient was breaking in a pair of toning sneakers, and less than 45 minutes after putting them on felt her ankle turn and a bone break." Doctor Joel Buchalter, an orthopedic surgeon, says that's no big surprise. He says toning shoes are intentionally designed to create instability. Dr. Joel Buchalter, "If you take a patient who is elderly or someone who has a balance issue and you put that shoe on them you're looking for disaster." But even younger people complain of problems, including the physician's assistant in Dr. Buchalter's office who bought some Skechers Shape-Ups. "I was scrubbed in surgery, wore them for several hours. Had back pain for probably three or four days."

Isaac Cruz would take the mound for the Lions and pitch a strong 5 innings giving up 2 runs on 2 hits while striking out 6 to earn his 3 district victory.
Rolie Zepeda would come in and finish up the 6th and 7th innings striking out 3 in the Lions 10-2 win.
Dominic Cruz would lead the Lions at the plate going 2for3 with a double.
RayJ Garza and Jacob Asebedo would both go 2for4.
Isaac Cruz would go 1for2.
Jordan Valdez would go 1for3 and get his first 2 rbi's of district play.
Zepeda would round out the offensive attack going 1for4.
On Friday the Lions would travel to Runge for their second game with the Yellow Jackets and Dominic Cruz would pick up his second district victory as he shut down the Yellow Jackets facing just 14 batters in 4 innings striking out 9 on 2 hits.
Bryant Tiemann would finish off the game in the 5th giving up 2 unearned runs on 1 hit for the final score of 18-2.
Leading the way at the plate was Eddie Villarreal who went 2for2 with a 3 run homer and 4 rbi's.
Rolie Zepeda would go 3for4 and knock in 5.
RayJ Garza would go 2for4 with 2 doubles.
Jeremy Rodriguez would go 2for4 and Jacob Asebedo would go 1for2.
Isaac Cruz would go 1for3 and Dominic would go 1for4 to round out the day at the plate.
With the two win for the week the Lions are now 7-1 in district play and officially in the playoffs with 4 district games left.
Overall the Lions are 16-3.
The next week will bring two home games as they host district foe Woodsboro on Tuesday and then a possible playoff matchup in Benavides on Friday.
The final week of the regular season will be a busy one as the Lions play 3 district game in that week as they take a short trip to Pettus on Tuesday, play at home on Friday against Three Rivers which is parents night, and then finish up with Port A on Saturday with a JV game at 11 and the varsity game at 1.
If the Lions split with Port A it will force a playoff game with them to see who is first and second.

What do you guys think? If they lose tonight's game vs Dallas he is as good as gone. There are certainly some negatives about Reid but he does a great job with Qbs, something we clearly need.
Would you guys want him in KC?

I feel like he needs a break from football. He looks worn out. He's poured his heart into that team for 10+ years and it looks like it's finally catching up to him. I think a year to recharge his batteries would do well for him as he decides if he's got any more head coaching in him.
The number one thing the Chiefs need from a head coach is energy. We need a new mechanic. We have some really nice parts to build with, we simply need someone to put the pieces together. Maybe a Greg Schiano type of no-nonsense attitude would do this team and city good.

I would take Reid in a heart beat. The main thing I am looking for in our HC is a guy who is a PROVEN coach. Somone who has experience and at least better than a .500 record as a HC. Well Andy Reid is 129-86 as a head coach! Tha includes FIVE NFC championship appearances....I don't know what more you could ask for in HC. Getting Andy Reid would be very similar to how we got Marty Schottenheimer back in 1989, after he got fired in cleveland despite having a sterling win/loss record. Andy Reid is a proven commodity. With him you know coaching won't be the issue, just have to get him a QB, and the rest will fall into place. I also like the way he drafts. I would be thrilled to Get Andy Reid.

I'm all in on Reid.
Reminds me very much of Fox going to Denver. Totally worn out message/impact in Carolina and needed a fresh start. Add in Reid's track record with QB's and my faith in us getting a 1st round QB to groom + Stanzi in a back role will also improve.
Watching Foles today - I'm impressed.

If Reid is somehow available, I'm scooping him up faster than a fat kid can shovel in cake.
Think about his offensive mind with the chance to mentor a guy like Geno Smith (very similar skill set to McNabb when he was at Syracuse) and the weapons we have on offense. Charles being used like McCoy is used is very appealing to me and Wylie/McCluster would finally be used in ways they SHOULD be used. His time clock management and play calling has been brought into question on occasion, but what coach hasn't had the occasional issues in that regard? He's the longest tenured coach in the league for a reason. He's a great one. He knows how to create a "team mentality" and at one point, he made it to the NFC Championship game what? Three? Four years in a row?
I'm definitely down with Andy Reid.

I think we'd be fortunate to land a motivated Reid but i dont know how he's feeling about coaching these days with some of the bad stuff thats gone on in his personal life.
ps If Pioli is still running the show next year i'd imagine he'd want more of a puppet anyway.

I'm down with Reid, just not sure I want him making all the football decisions. They talked about his inability to replace Jim Johnson today. I think Andy would be great for a young QB, and as Ryk said, our weapons may finally all get utilized.
That being said, I'd really like someone with a good defensive mind, a strong guy. A great coaching staff to me would be...
Andy Reid
Young OC
Rex Ryan...yeah I said it. Another guy who might not be a great head coach, but he can coach D, and he attacks.

NGC 6621/2 (VV 247, Arp 81) is a strongly interacting pair of galaxies, seen about 100 million years after their closest approach. It consists of NGC 6621 (to the left) and NGC 6622 (to the right). NGC 6621 is the larger of the two, and is a very disturbed spiral galaxy. The encounter has pulled a long tail out of NGC 6621 that has now wrapped behind its body. The collision has also triggered extensive star formation between the two galaxies. Scientists believe that Arp 81 has a richer collection of young massive star clusters than the notable Antennae galaxies (which are much closer than Arp 81). The pair is located in the constellation of Draco, approximately 300 million light-years away from Earth. Arp 81 is the 81st galaxy in Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
This image is part of a large collection of 59 images of merging galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and released on the occasion of its 18th anniversary on 24th April 2008.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: The Enemy Is Us
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Your biggest enemy is not Europe or China or even the Fed, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Monday. The market's biggest enemy right now is your fellow shareholders.
Cramer explained there are countless types of shareholders hitting the sell button right now, not the least of which are those who never wanted to own stocks in the first place and were simply buying them for their high yields as compared to bonds. These shareholders felt good with 4% yields, he said, but now that yields have fallen back to 3%, the protection from big dividends isn't enough to keep them from selling.
Then there are the hedge funds that are being forced to sell thanks to increased redemptions. These fund managers were betting that the worst was over, and their predictions have just been plain wrong, Cramer added.
Other investors were betting on a global recovery, one that relied heavily on China, India, Russia and Brazil. But here too, these early predictions of a turnaround never materialized.
Of course, there are also the Fed watchers, said Cramer, and those investors feel there's no safe place to hide.
Cramer said investors' only friends at the moment are those who feel the worst is now over and aren't selling because they fear they won't be able to get back in at a better price. Even these investors aren't yet ready to start buying, said Cramer, but at least there is someone waiting in the wings to begin buying just as soon as this latest interest rate scare is behind us.
Invest in America
It may not seem like it, but the U.S. still has the best economy in the world, Cramer told viewers as he kicked off a new "Invest in America" series of recommendations based on companies that are making the grade right here at home. He said no talk about the U.S. economy would be complete without discussing the energy boom, which is why he chose to start with the oil industry.
Energy will be huge in the coming decades, as low-cost energy will be the offset our country needs to counter higher labor costs and tougher environmental standards in the global economy, said Cramer.

GVSU, MOCAP partnership brings solar power to income-eligible households
Posted on November 28, 2011
Grand Valley State University is part of an initiative to bring renewable energy technology to income-qualified households and programs that serve income-eligible individuals in Muskegon and Oceana counties.
Muskegon Oceana Community Action Partnership, Inc. (MOCAP) was awarded a $3.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy through a Sustainable Energy Resources for Consumers (SERC) grant. It allows several Michigan contractors to install one or more systems at residential and income-eligible group care facilities. Installations may include hybrid domestic hot water, solar domestic hot water, solar hot air and solar photovoltaic systems in single and multi-family units. Grand Valley's Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center provides technical assistance and serves as a resource for the project.
The initiative was celebrated at an event hosted by MAREC on November 28. Fred Keller, CEO of Cascade Engineering, and Christina Scarpino, director of development for Every Woman's Place, were among the speakers.
There are four, large multi-family projects underway that will benefit 150 people, and about one third of approximately 50 residential projects have begun, said Kim Walton, program coordinator at MAREC and technical advisor for the project. "All the money saved by these installations will go directly back into the community," she said.
"This project places renewable energy systems with people in Michigan who haven't had access to this technology in the past, and those people are often the ones who can benefit from it the most," said Arn Boezaart, director of MAREC. "We are proud to be part of this initiative."
Walton said the single and multi-family units selected were income-qualified, were deemed energy efficient or underwent weatherization for energy efficiency before the renewable energy technologies were installed. The project will be completed by March 31.

The county will put up $290,000 as a local match in order to land a $2.5 million grant the airport from the Federal Aviation Administration and N.C. Department of Transportation. The 5,000-foot runway will be widened by 25 feet and be repaved, plus get new lights along the airstrip.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre going to have one of the best airports west of Buncombe; itŌĆÖs going to be in good shape,ŌĆØ said Miles Gregory, chairman of the Macon County Airport Authority.
Once complete, the Macon airport will have racked up more than $11 million in infrastructure projects during the past four years ŌĆö of that about $10 million came from state and federal grants and about $1 million from county coffers as a required local match.
The latest round of work will begin by October and be completed sometime in December. The work will be done at night so as not to disrupt air traffic, Gregory said.
Commissioners voted 3 to 2 to provide the matching funds, with Ronnie Haven and Paul Higdon voted against the expense.
Haven said the county should not be funding a project that canŌĆÖt demonstrate clear economic benefits for the average citizen. Haven has asked for proof that airport improvements are helping the local economy but has received little evidence.
ŌĆ£Did that benefit John Doe out here with a welding shop, or did that benefit Jane Doe with a beauty shop?ŌĆØ Haven said. ŌĆ£There should be some answers.ŌĆØ
Most citizens in the county canŌĆÖt afford to fly out of the airport, he said, and instead they drive to Atlanta or Asheville to take a plane. Instead, he believes the airport is largely being used by the well-to-do and wealthy vacationers going to HarrahŌĆÖs Cherokee Casino and Resort. As a local lodging owner himself, Haven said heŌĆÖs never had a guest who flew in on a small plane.
ŌĆ£People donŌĆÖt come in and say ŌĆśI came here on an airplane,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Haven said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve never had one of them stay at my motel.ŌĆØ
In addition to funding nearly $1 million for capital projects at the airport during the past few years, county taxpayers subsidize its annual operating costs to the tune of about $40,000 a year.
But the airport is an economic engine that benefits the whole county, not just those who actually use it, according to Gregory.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an investment as far as weŌĆÖre concerned,ŌĆØ Gregory said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre getting it up there to be a credible airport in Western North Carolina.ŌĆØ
That in turn will make Macon an attractive hub. The airport is used by visitors heading to HarrahŌĆÖs ŌĆö Hank Williams, Jr. used it to arrive at his recent concert there. Local businessmen and homeowners in the Highlands area also use it. It has been touted as an economic driver for tourism and the homebuilding sectors in the countyŌĆÖs economy.
Airport foes
However, the airportŌĆÖs growth has happened amidst criticism from a broad spectrum of local residents and political leaders for cultural, economic and safety reasons. The runwayŌĆÖs initial expansions was met with concern over the disturbance of Cherokee artifacts on site.
Some neighbors of the airport, located in Iotla Valley, say itŌĆÖs not the best neighbor either. Since the runway was last expanded, jet traffic and the sound of roaring engines have increased and are impacting the quality of life and rural character they once valued. The imminent brighter lights and a wider runway wonŌĆÖt make the valley anymore peaceful either.
ŌĆ£Some of my neighbors complain that the noise is like living in the middle of Miami,ŌĆØ said Olga Pader, who lives about a mile from the runway. ŌĆ£They need to consider the people who actually live here and are impacted by it.ŌĆØ
Pader said she and other area residents take issue with everything from the sound pollution to the visual impact of the brilliantly white hangars to the safety aspect of having planes flying overhead. The plane crash in 2012 killed five people, and since then, the county has built a new elementary school adjacent to the runway.
Pader said the bowl-shaped Iotla Valley, ringed by mountains, might not be the best site for an ever-expanding airfield.
ŌĆ£There are a lot of safety concerns I have,ŌĆØ Pader said. ŌĆ£It just keeps growing.ŌĆØ

How Professional Rug Cleaning Helps
At Squeaky Clean Rugs Melbourne we endeavour to bring back the original brightness and softness of your valued rugs. We are passionate about rugs and cleaning absolutely dirty and stained rugs is what we love to do.
- Rugs attract soil, dust, dirt, bacteria, virus, allergens, and all sorts of foreign contaminants.
- On regular usage, you tend to add to these pollutants in your rugs with your sweat, dead skin, and skin.
- Those homes that have pets are more likely to have dirtier rugs that require professional cleaning. Pet's hairs are most commonly found in rugs where your beloved pet loves to roll.
- Over a period of time, rugs tend to lose their softness because dirt gets into the fabric.
- Moreover, when you clean the rugs with homely methods you are able to just clean the surface of the rug. The deeply embedded dirt has to be removed by professional tools.
- Because of dirt and soil, your rugs tend to lose their shine and brightness too. Our eco-friendly solutions work on retaining that brightness.
- Cleaner rugs are less likely to cause any health issues to your loved ones. So with our services you can say bye to sneezing, coughing, asthma, and other air borne diseases that can be caused due to pollutants.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker's campaign says Democrat Tom Barrett is heading for a loss in the June 5 recall election.
Barrett won the Democratic primary on Tuesday. He will face Walker in a rematch of the 2010 race that Walker won by 5 points. Barrett also previously ran for governor in 2002 and lost in the Democratic primary.
Walker's deputy campaign manager Dan Blum issued a statement saying Barrett was about to enter his "third statewide losing campaign."
Blum says "Rather than Tom Barrett's path of taking Wisconsin back to the days of billion-dollar deficits, double-digit tax increases and record job loss, we are confident that voters will choose to stand with Governor Walker and move Wisconsin forward."

NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) have announced the selection of 17 new Hubble Fellows. STScI in Baltimore, Md., administers the Hubble Fellowship Program for NASA.
The Hubble Fellowship Program now includes all research relevant to present and future missions in NASA's Cosmic Origins theme. These missions currently include the Herschel Space Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
"I am proud of the work done by the selection committee for the 2013 Hubble Fellowships. We once again have a list of the most exciting research projects to be carried out at U.S. institutions by some of the best and brightest young PhDs from all over the world," said Ron Allen, head of the Hubble Fellowship Program at STScI.
More than 310 of the most prominent and active scientists in this field have been supported at a crucial phase in their careers by this program, and the Hubble Fellowship Program continues to be one of the highlights of NASA's pursuit of excellence in space science.
Each year, the current Hubble Fellows convene for a three-day symposium to present the results of their recent research and to meet face-to-face with other Hubble Fellows and with the scientific and administrative staff who manage the program. The 2013 symposium was held at STScI on March 4-6.
"The Hubble Fellowship has become one of the most prestigious postdoctoral fellowships in the world. Many faculty search committees begin their work by browsing the current list of Hubble Fellows and streaming the video of the Hubble Fellows Symposia from the STScI video archives. Evidence from the recent past shows that these young researchers are on their way to becoming the future leaders in space science," said Matt Mountain, STScI director.
"I am very impressed with these young people. The new Fellows show an enviable level of scientific maturity. They're already accomplished researchers, and I expect great things from them in the coming years," said STScI deputy director Kathryn Flanagan.
The new Hubble Fellows will begin their programs in the fall of 2013 and are listed below in alphabetical order with their PhD and host institutions:

Plans are starting to take shape for how to improve the Powell-Hood-Hamilton neighborhood in La Crosse.
It's a joint project between Gundersen Lutheran Hospital and the city.
Resident have been taking great interest in the project and the opportunity to pitch in ideas.
Consultants working on the project held two public input meetings this last week.
On Saturday, residents were given two stickers and asked to rank which improvements they think are most needed.
The top three were developing a strategy for blighted areas, addressing safety and security and developing a multipurpose building.
That would be similar to the Grand River Station which offers a mix of housing and retail opportunities all in one building.
"It's an important piece of the puzzle because we've seen through our market analysis that there's a $20 million dollar gap because of all the people living in this neighborhood and no retail and no restaurants. There's opportunity to bring in those businesses and for those businesses to be supported," said Ben Sporer, project manager with Perkins and Will.
Improving safety and security is one of the top concerns for some of the residents who live in the neighborhoods.
Some say all the other improvements don't matter if they don't feel safe.
"Safety. Number one is safety. I don't feel safe walking around the neighborhood. I would really love a park but if I can't walk to the park, if I have to walk through this bad neighborhood to get to the park you shot me down right there, so safety. As a young single woman it's really important to me," said Powell-Hood-Hamilton resident Kristin Royalty.
Consultants say one of the initial and most easily implemented ideas to improve safety is adding more lighting to the streets and alleys.
They will take what they heard in the public input meetings this week and come back in March with a final plan presentation.

Review Of New Weezer Album Accuses Band Of Catering To Rock Band
Weezer remains my favorite band...ever. It'd take something very special to top Blue Album and Pinkerton in my mind, especially when you add nostalgia to the mix.

Roger Daltrey Hints A Music Game Based On The Who
Rock stars are simultaneously the best and worse sources for early news about music games.

Happy Thanksgiving!
It's that time of year again. The time when the leaves are changing and the weather is turning cold. It's a time to think of all our blessings, to eat a lot of food, and be thankful.
Of course, I am extremely thankful for my friends and family. You guys are amazing! Here are some other baseball-related things I am thankful for this year:
- I am thankful for a major league team in my city. Only 29 other cities can say that they have a major league team. I love the Padres. They are a decent organization, and they could be worse. They've given us three championship-caliber seasons in a row. 2008 was just a bump in the road. We have the potential to go deep into the postseason.
- I am thankful for Petco Park. Some fans don't like it, but I love it. I love being downtown, peering through the buildings until I glimpse Petco. It's a beautiful stadium, it really is. I love it's distinctive features, like the Western Metal Supply building, the Beach, the Park in the Park, the Porch. The stadium is a part of San Diego. I love it.
- I am thankful for MLBLOGS. I have very few people in my life who I can truly talk baseball with. It can get kind of depressing. But here, it doesn't matter if you're young, old, male, female, accepted, or lonely, you can just come here and talk baseball with fans all over the globe. This blog has been a huge blessing to me in the 6 months I've been writing it. This is a great community.
- I am thankful that I am able to attend a few games. My family isn't rich, and a game for all of us costs $100-150. But I was able to squeeze out three games this year. Each one was extremely special. I got to see Trevor Time for the first time. He got his 550th save that day. I got to see an 11-3 win that had 4 homers in it. I got to see our new left fielder, Chase Headley, hit a home run. It was so much fun.
- I am so thankful that my salvation does not depend on the fate of the Padres. Kind of obvious, I know. But without God, I would be dead. And the thing is, I deserve to die. I deserve to live in eternal hell. But by His miraculous grace and mercy, and the death of Christ on the cross, I am redeemed. When I die, I am going to Heaven for eternity. But while I am here on this rotten earth, God is with me, watching over me, and He's in control of every aspect of my life. It's amazing, and totally undeserved. It is only by grace that I am saved. Thank you, Lord!
I also want to thank all my readers. You guys have been great, thank you so much for reading about the Padres and other randomness! Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

We're glad you're at MLBlogs! Happy Thanksgiving.
Kaybee, you know what? I could tell you were a Christian before I got to your last bullet. I'm thankful that there are Christians in this network to talk baseball with!
Thanks for stopping by to comment on my blog. I'm new around here. I was an avid blogger over at Blogspot. I must ask, how did you find my blog? Is there a way to see what others are posting? I know this is a dumb question.
Regarding your team and its situation. I'm sorry. Believe me though, I know what it feels like. I especially know what it feels like to lose some of your biggest players. I can remember the day we lost Maddux. I nearly quit watching them. It really is sad. I guess we can't be like Boston or New York and everything we lose someone big, we gain someone bigger.
Good chatting with you!
And this new blogger is thankful that you took the time to make her feel welcomed! We all need to take the time to be thankful for all the small things in life. And that we can all visit sites like this where we can talk (or argue!) our hearts out about baseball! A blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours
Really nice post. It's too often that we forget about the "thanks" part of Thanksgiving. We all have a lot to be grateful for, including baseball and this blog!
Hi, Kaybee …
"Very Inspiring Post" !!! … Also, a perfect picture at the top of your post that captures a beautiful view of a "Fall" day around Thanksgiving time !!! … You are truly "Blessed"; and, "May God continue to Always Bless You and Your Family" … Kaybee, Best Wishes, for a very "Happy Thanksgiving" !!! … Jimmy [27NYY], "Baseball, The Yankees, and Life"
Thanks so much for all your support and positive feedback on my blog. It really means a lot to me! This is such a great post, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Well said, Kaybee.
Life truly is a blessing, isn't it?
Thank you for being an integral part of this blogging community. I check your blog quite frequently. Of course, the same is appreciated!
Have a safe and happy holiday!
Kaybee, the Padres are lucky to have a fan like you. You have a great Turkey day, relax, and do nothing. Thanks for visiting the Rant, I'll continue to visit yours…Be Safe…D
Haha, I accidentally pasted the link to your page where mine usually goes. Oh well, more comments for you. Happy Thanksgiving!
You have a great thanksgiving too, Kaybee!

Great picture! I love the vibrant fall air, and colors. Petco has seems like a very interesting park, a lot of character! Especially the sandbox in center field. I like ballparks that have that kind of character, if you know what I mean. The Rogers Centre in Toronto, got a lot better when Rogers took over and put in video screens on the walls and all the around the facility. I'm thankful for what they did to the Dome, and the money they put into the team. The hiring of the some of the front office (i.e. J.P. Ricciard) is a little more questionable.
Hope you are have an awesome Thanksgiving and thank you for reading my blog!http://homerfoodandhistory.mlblogs.com/
