A full house beats 3 of a kind
Well…those kind of weeks happen now and again. Did not really do too badly considering you could not field a full squad though…
I saw that movie quite some time ago and also thought it was just ok. It definitely did have its’ moments though.
I have had some rocking times here with just a Korean contingent…not to take anything away from the non-Korean I hang out with though hehe. You should do it more often and use it to practice your new found hobby – speaking Korean!

Sounds interesting. Always good to change it up now and again…and the concept for the show sounds pretty cool.

I guess there are a few things on the go here. My main beef is with the ‘captive audience’ thing.
What John was on about (and I also agree) is the fact that many of the celebs doing this kind of thing:
“mindlessly mouth left wing talking points and expect their celebrity to somehow make what they say unassailably the truth. The massive egos of these “stars†somehow leads them to believe that they are experts in matters of politics and foreign policy and the unwashed masses should unquestioningly heed the wisdom of their betters.”
That attitude comes through and it can be rather comical.
Ciao!

You are making rather quick judgments about (perhaps) my nationality and my political opinions. You also seem to assume that my feelings would only be applied to certain opinions. However, these are not really on topic at all.
Comparing them with the president is…well…asinine when you consider their occupations.
If she wants to voice an opinion, do it with a performance. The industry has a long history of voicing politics through the music itself. If I, as a consumer, opt to watch or attend a music show, awards show, or concert – that is what I expect to see. That is what I pay to see.
Using mic time that was a result of a perfomance (winning something) to talk about politics is a completely different animal. Shameless opportunism and grandstanding.
If they want to express their political leanings, they can use their status to gain a willing audience. Do either print or tv interviews with the specific intent to say what is on their mind.
I just hope that next time they can come up with something a little less trite than “…we are ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.â€
Your conclusion is almost worth ignoring due to the sheer number of assumptions it is based on. You assume that since I don’t like what the group in question did that I must (blindly) follow Bush and that my (foolish) ‘neo-con’ bastion of war mongering is threatened.
Just for the record, I think Bush is an idiot (regardless of his home state) and the war was a bad idea. These too are irrelevant to the issue of expressing your political views to a captive and perhaps unwilling audience.

With all due respect to those that disagree…I disagree.
She, and others of her ‘ilk’ use her celebrity status as a platform for their grandstanding – and that is all it is. Feel free to express your opinion…just don’t do it live through a non-political medium (ie. award shows).
Those that give her more credibility because she can sing (more often than not) on key…well I feel sorry for you.

The whole ‘appeal to celebrity’ bit makes my stomach turn as well. I don’t mind the airing of the dirty laundry (so to speak) as long as it is presented in a rational and logical manner. But since we are talking about celebrities, that rarely is the case as most lack the above attributes. Furthermore, most of these people have pretty much ZERO connection with the real world and even less with me. I think that they should just STFU…or if they choose otherwise, be prepared to face the consequences of their decisions…probably for the first time in their lives.
Fight the power, man! Don’t give in!

My wife (among others I talked with today as well) seems to think that it is not an issue for writing or eating these days…I think the instructor is in a bit of a quandary regarding theory and reality. Such as it goes though…

Hmmmm….I do not really know what to say about the left handed thing. I have heard that in the past many people were forced to convert to the right hand…they key here is “in the past”
I have had quite a few students over the past bunch of years writing and eating with their left.
Perhaps I will dig a little deeper into some of my sources to get a little more information on this.

Woo Woo!!!
Grats on the 8T0 in league! I have hit quite a few these days but all of them (of course) at the practice board.
Sounded like a great night for sure! We had a bye and were looking to catch an A league match but they were nowhere to be found at the Frog. Should have just popped over and watch you guys I guess!
