Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Junk Drawer - 5/2 - Kentucky Derby/The Get Rid Of West Side Bernie FanPost

Listen, I know there are a ton of you out there that feel the way I do, so I wish to try to help Blazers Edge by just making a designated post for all the West Side Bernie hate that will be coming out during the next few days.  Let's try to restrict it to one post, so we don't annoy those blind West Side Bernie backers (That is in no way a backhanded insult to fans of Bernie).  We know that Bernie is the biggest weakpoint in the Derby, and both the Kentucky Derby and Bernie himself would be better apart.

All I'm saying with this is, let's reduce the Fan Post population, and just vent our West Side Bernie feelings here. 

The race starts at 3:04 PM PST and 12:04 PM HST.  It should be fun to watch together like we did last year.

i just left my girlfriend's house

because her son woke up and came into her room at 5 AM and was all, “mommy i’m lonely, mommy, come and lie in bed with me.” Now, if it wasn’t the weekend, and the kid wasn’t seven, I’d cut him a break, but it was just irritating the hell out of me, so put my head up and asked “do you ever do this at your dad’s house?” and he said “No.” then he got upset and i apologized, but the little manipulative turd still got his mom to feel sorry for him and she went in his room to lie down with him and console him. I tried to go back to sleep there, but decided just to go home to search for peace, the only problem is the drive home woke me up.

I don’t know about you guys, but my parents didn’t let me manipulate them like that. I understand that mom’s are different than dad’s in their nurturing, and he’s an only child, i get that, the kid is great, but there has to be a point where you tell a kid “we all get lonely, even when our mom is asleep in the other room, but let me sleep dammit!”

my beliefs are obviously "conservative"

so I should vote for McCain I guess, but he was so lame that I really had a hard time justifying a vote for him. I feel like he thought that most conservatives would have to vote for him over Barack because he was simply more conservative than Barack by comparison, but he certainly isn’t what I’d want in a President.

The man was downright…well just watch this video and that’s why I can’t vote for him.

At the same time, while I respect Obama to the utmost and think is an amazing senator/President, there are some policies and issues I just don’t agree with, so I couldn’t really throw my weight behind him either.

Bear in mind this was my first election this year, and I’m still in college….my views are still being formed. I know for a fact I’m not a Democrat, and yet at the same time I don’t really like the Republican party as it stands right now. I don’t want to be one of those independents or libertarians that only get 1% of the vote, so I’m really in a conundrum right now.

really good response Prez

Would you say you’re “conservative” on economic issues (lower taxes, smaller government, etc.) or social issues (no abortion, no gay marriage, etc.) or both?

Some younger Republicans, like Megan McCain, are more liberal on some of the social issues—like she thinks gay marriage is OK—but still considers herself a Republican.

by tominrehab on May 4, 2009 12:44 AM PDT up reply actions  

On economic issues, I can be either

depending on the situation. I wish we would be a lot more conservative in the way we deal with criminals (harsher punishments, not so much extended jail time that eats up our money)….

I’m not really sure though if I like our medical system as it is though.

I favor the liberal view for schools—lots of taxes to fund good education.

I’m not one of those types that just throws my lot in with one party. There’s different things to look at for each issue. I have a hard time just labeling myself “conservative” or “liberal.”

I’m probably closer to conservative than liberal, but there are some issues where I’d favor the liberal stance.

he looked like he was trying to make some concessions for the liberals, which I didn’t like.

McCain was my least favorite Republican this year. Easily.

and I agree with the other thing you said

their is a LOT about the Republican party I don’t like. But I’m not a Democrat, so it’s tough.

Yeah, I guess I have that guy on the brain. Hopefully it'll go away soon.

Every one of my illegal feed sites have died. Coincidence? The Bulls better step it up

or their season is over.

I know, Ann.

Frustrating as heck, wasn’t it? I had one up and running, left the room for a minute, came back to a message I had been banned. Sweet. But that was when none of the game sites would come up, either, so perhaps my evil twin Skippy didn’t really take over the keyboard. Had to follow the rest of the game on Yahoo’s game channel. Bah.

great game ,great series by the Bulls

We are going to see these guys in a for all the marbles game some time in the next 5 years

No way

They are going to lose Ben Gordon to free agency, they are not young, they have a horrible coach, no post game, no way of ever beating LeBron in a series. I guess 5 years is a loooong time in the NBA, but I don’t see it. They are going to be in the playoffs for sure, but in the finals? Maybe if they get lucky (like playing the Celtics without KG).

Travis Outlaw's favorite phrase to use in an interview

“most definitely”

Now Ray Allen is saying that… yikes.

hey Mr. tominhawaii...

I’ve got a screen name idea I want to run by you…

screen name possibility: fee-sees

What do you think? Suggestions? Comments? Concerns? Truth, dare, double dare, promise or repeat?

Sergio says he doesn't expect to return.
“I don’t know what my future (is) going to be,” Rodriguez said. “I think something is going to happen, either a trade, or something. But I think for me, I feel like I need a change. I need to play a different way. I really enjoy playing three years here. But I think I need something (different). I feel after three years, I need a change.”

I guess it's not really that crazy, considering he almost said the exact same thing earlier in the season

I’d just hate to see him go for Rudy’s sake.

Man, for a PG who can't shoot

He’s pretty moody.

Memo to Serigo

You dont have a lot of trade value because you are really not that good but I know that your agent wants you to be treated in a natural manner so you and Travis and a fistfull of picks have been traded to a really poor team for Ricky ,good luck

good night blazers edge

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
