1. Not a bad idea...although now that the Senate race in MA...
is done, it may calm it down slightly for a little bit.

2. Sounds like a good idea.
Not many people discuss boxing here, but I still can chime in on a few other sports that I know remarkably little about.

3. Boxing has been pretty freaky lately--
I can't keep up with who canceled a fight---or who is scheduled.

6. There needs to be
a national boxing commission. I don't think that it has ever been more evident, than now. What is frustrating is that there could be a fair, even-handed approach, and that there are numerous high-quality people associated with the sport who could serve in such a commission. But promoters (and some managers) don't want that, because they make so much money off the very things that a good commission would address.

7. If dems went after the repukes with half as much fervor as after each other...
...we're talking 100 senate seats. But each election, it's always the same...never gonna change.

8. Unfortunately, you are 100% dead on, joey.
See if the Dems can pick themselves up and dust themselves off, now.

9. IF they learn from this, then it's better it happened now than in
November, but it's a BIG IF.

11. Clinton eventually learned...
...so there is some hope, but not with people like Rahm calling the shots.

12. The LAST motherfucking thing you do now is proceed with caution.
Isn't that what got us into this jam??

16. It's pretty ugly...
and I have to stay off facebook, too. Family harmony, and all. See, my blood relatives wouldn't dare challenge me in terms of politics.
But my husband's family? Conservatives, every last one of them (except hubby, of course). His brother's wife is a vicious woman who is, and I quote, "teaching her children to be redneck southerners." She's from fucking upstate NY. So, needless to say, I antagonize her and her idiot brigade of friends, but I'm delicate.

17. It doesn't really seem that bad to me.
I've certainly seen it far worse than this.

19. Tipper was right.
I was most likely warped long before black metal arrived on the scene, but it sure hasn't helped set me straight. :)
