"Wrapped up like a douche" instead of "revved up like a deuce" (Blinded by the Light) my longest running misheard lyric. Didn't get that song for so many years.

I brought this up at work. Co-worker "Yeah we have no real choices this election." Everyone voiced or nodded their agreement and then went back to doing what they we're doing. I had to throw the obligatory "Any other country and we call this bribery." comment out there before I went back to browsing, my duty as a responsible member of a democracy done for the day.

This is the problem.

Better than Port Royal? I don't smoke cigos any more but I would roll one up of that sticky, sweet smelling shit if I ever came across it over here. (Stateside) Aww the memories, shakily trying to light that after surf smoke,freezing hands dripping, shoulders spent from the endless paddle outs..what I wouldn't do to be back in Waikuku....

As an agnostic son of a Pentecostal preacher I still look for enlightenment where I can find it. Thought I'd share.

Saw this post this morning and thought "well this will probably be nothing but some sheep and a dick or two" was not disappoint.

Thanks for this. As a longtime Android user this is probably one of the best written and most comprehensive lists I've came across.

I commonly referred to both as 'f*cking unreliable' (edited for work filters) while I was commuting, but you're correct.

MBTA Commuter rail is a variable fare based on zones traveled BTW. The subway is flat rate.

I agreed with your statement initially since 'respect the office and the country it represents' resonated on an emotional level. After some reflection though couldn't this be his way of trying to 'get involved and try to actually change something' by making a pretty professional statement about his beliefs and taking an adult stance based on the fact he 'really has a problem with how the country is being run.' Tim doesn't strike me as naive and had to know full well that his actions would cause spirited discussion in the news and amongst fans. It's not often that as professional athletes you have a chance to make a nationwide statement outside of the field/ court/ rink you play on, and it looks like he took the opportunity to me.

I'd have to disagree that Nixon "single-handedly" opened the door to Chinese relations. Kissinger had been focused on establishing foreign relations with China since being involved with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Special Studies Project 7 years before being appointed by Nixon as National Security Adviser in 1968. I'd say that, given the evidence, the idea that it was paramount that we establish Chinese relations to offset the growing Soviet threat was already accepted by many of the political and intellectual elite. So whoever had been voted into office would have been pressured behind the scenes to take this step.

TYSK Politicians tied to Richard Nixon: Dick Cheney, George HW Bush, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld and now Newt Gingrich

Read and draw your own conclusions, but these are some of the biggest name in Republican politics during my life time with direct working and ideological ties to one of the most publicly reviled and openly corrupt presidents ever.

I have to admit that my first reaction was "shit Tim's a hardline Repub?" but then his statement made it clear that it isn't a party issue. It's pissed me off that I've seen it framed up as 'dissing Obama' by so many in the news media and radio, as this brings the discussion back to the usual bullshit partisan griping.

From what I've heard the arguments focus's around both Juan_ Solo's and Psychicsword's points: individual expression vs. when a professional sports figure should 'take one for the team' and toe the organizations line. In this case it looks like the fans and talking heads are more riled up than the Bruins organization. Cam Neely says it best in MHO "Everybody has their own opinions and political beliefs. He chose not to join us," said Neely. "We certainly would have liked to have him come and join us but that's his choice. All the guys came except for Tim. It's his decision and his choice."
