This kid has ruined someone else's life with his dangerous, irresponsible behavior and deserves nothing less than the full extent of the law being brought down on him. So drunk at 7am that you don't even notice that you are driving 3 miles on a wheel rim? Damn!

@Humbucker bob: You are not incorrect about texting and driving, but you are utterly tone deaf about when to discuss it. Have you considered just deleting your insensitive and uninformed comment, instead of repeatedly sort-of apologizing? Just a suggestion.

Ok, seriously, economies do not turn on a dime and the effects do not always manifest themselves for everyone very quickly. If you're republican, call it your precious "trickle down". Whether or not this news directly effects your finances positively yet or not (if it makes you feel better, it really doesn't help me much in my day-to-day finances either) it IS good news and will, hopefully, mean better times for all in the not-too-distant future.

Or we can have another ridiculous, unnecessary debt-ceiling fight and watch it all go down the tubes again. Things are getting better in minute steps. Let's hope Congress doesn't do what it usually does and f*&k it all up.

This is all Barack Hussein Obama's fault! OOOOO, I hate him so much! The republicans want us all to wallow in poverty while they and their sugar daddies live it up. Why won't he just let that happen already? What a jerk!

Tim Lincecum is called "the Freak", and he's won Cy Youngs. I guess there's a chance that they meant it like that, but somehow I doubt it, since the family required an apology. But what good does that do? It's too late, it's out there and an apology won't undo it. Maybe they could reprint, with "The Jackass" next to the name of the person responsible.

This is good news, 'cause if there's one thing Athens desperately needs, it's more residential rental space for students to live in.

I always had a feeling that Ron Paul was nuts. This confirms it.

@crankyyankee: Cranky, running from the assumption that all presidents have distorted the unemployment numbers to make themselves look better (I share your "they're all crooked" point of view), does that not still mean, comparatively, that the unemployment rate has improved? Don't get me wrong, I know it's still tough out there for way too many people, but if Bush and previous presidents played by the same twisted rules, then it's still an improvement, even if it doesn't really reflect the number of people who really don't have job.

If only they could have organized a one-time-only, all-4-member REM reunion concert for Sanford, maybe that would have been more appropriate, if not almost completely implausible.

I don't care about these artists really either, but I assume they booked them because they felt certain they could sell it out, and they did, so I guess they were right on that one. Maybe a little more Rock next time.

@SchemerDiabolicus: Oh, well, if that's the case......I can't really argue with that.

@SchemerDiabolicus: Oh, come on. What's your problem with it? It ain't the Sistine Chapel or something. It's a stadium. They're used for concerts and other events all the time, all over the world, and to great profits, I might add. Hey, I understand how the purists feel, but it's not like a concert every year or two is going to cause the stadium to collapse into the ground. Mellow out.

Besides, you should just be glad it wasn't a monster truck rally or something like that. That would REALLY damage the old girls turf, for sure.

I don't know, but that's dang funny! Who wants to bet that Kim Jung Un has no sense of humor and threatens to blow up america over it.

[quote][b]Farmer GA[/b] - I blame the hammer. Congress should ban them.[/quote]
I don't know that you and I would agree on gun control (probably not), but I'll give you credit: that's dang funny!

Thanks Paul Broun! I hope you have to fly in and out of this airport on a regular basis, turkey.

Hey, everyone goes of the rails a little bit when they go to college, but this bozo has taken it to incredibly stupid levels. Time for a detox program or something. Oh, and maybe some tough love, like cutting him off financially. Maybe he won't have time to be drunk off his butt at 1pm if he's having to work for a living.

Yep. In fact, up here we even got a pitcher to illustrate it:

A pitcher? Did you get Greg Maddux to draw this or something?

I lose more and more faith in humanity every day.

Science is the scourge of the devil. Just ask Paul Broun. He'll tell ya!

If all parties involved were good americans and were packing heat, this might have ended with an awesome shootout for all of us to enjoy. Stupid commie hippies, ruining all our fun with their unamericanness. Oh well, maybe next time.

Drunk guy firing a weapon in the wrong direction and risking the lives of others, all because he loses his [filtered word] in a moment of anger. Since our state legislature wants to make it legal for people to carry guns in bars, you'd better get used to reading these kinds of stories (yeah, I know, the guy obviously doesn't have a license. That's kind of beside the point. The point is that alcohol and guns, whether the person is carrying the gun legally or not, make for a terrible combo.)

I was in college then and, therefore, can barely remember this at all. Good times!

The previous MUST have been a paid advertisement disguised as news. If not, then Your Pie are geniuses for tricking you into doing this.

Aw, but "Building 1512" had such a nice ring to it.

This is too much industry for our area. How are we supposed to continue to erode our tax base if we're bringing all this industry in? I say we kick them out now, before they rock the boat too much.

Not that Chipper couldn't be a serviceable addition to the Yanks (DH would actually be a great way for him to extend his career. I don't know about working the field anymore though), but how desperate do the Yankees have to be to chase after a guy who very, very publicly retired last year (Chipper) and another player whom NO ONE else thinks can play at an MLB level anymore (Lee?)

It would make me pretty sad if I had to see Chipper come out retirement and play for the Yanks. Mostly though, I am just laughing and enjoying the sight of the mighty Yankees having to scramble to fill their line-up. Go Braves!
