Listen, Canada, I know that we're totally BFF and everything, but when we lace up the skates later today, it is "ON"

Charles Bulkowski was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Time is running out for this petition and I figured he deserves to be on a stamp after considering some of the people they have put on stamps. Thank You!

I Promise This Is The Last IPad Parody I Will Show

Only Because I Like Making So Much Fun About The IPad

It's On

I am happy that the US men's hockey team is going to win a medal, but now I am getting greedy. Most people thought the US was too young and didn't have enough experience, but I think they have grown as a team in this Olympics and just may pull it off. On Sunday around 2:00 p.m. ct. I'll being watching this game and whether they win or lose I'm proud of what this team has accomplished and it would be great if they bring home the gold.

On a side note, all seven players of my favorite team (the NHL Chicago Blackhawks) still have a chance to bring home medals for their respective countries. That would be great if they all bring medals home but as I keep my fingers crossed it would be awesome if my Blackhawks bring home a Stanley Cup in early June.

Congrats And Way To Go

Thank you for letting me believe in courage again.

Joannie Rochette, skating four days after the sudden death of her mother, won the bronze, giving Canada its first women's medal since Liz Manley's silver in 1988.

The ABC World News Polka

I would say for the last 15+ years I wake up early every Friday morning to get ready for work and at times catch the ABC world news while I get going in the morning. I figured that at various times I'd catch this video and would have this song buzzing through my head all day and figured maybe I shouldn't be the only one.

U.S. Men's Hockey Beats Canada

I know it is not the gold medal and it only scratches the service compared to the victory over Russia in 1980, but The U.S. hockey team beat Canada in the Olympics for the first time since 1960. I am enjoying the other events in the Olympics but hockey is my first love and anybody that know me knows that. The U.S. Men are 3-0 and the Women are 3-0 and there is a long way to go but it would be great if both won a medal.

No Olympics for Female Ski Jumpers

Female Ski Jumpers are not allowed to compete at the Olympics in Vancouver this year and I think that blows. This is 2010 and if there are going to be competition for the men, then there should be competition for the female athletes also.

Tiger Wood Announces He Is Ready For Sex Again

I can only say two things about the man-slut who allegedly had a press conference yesterday. That was not a press conference because he read a statement and did not answer questions from the press. The other thing is, how can this guy get more press coverage than the President or more important issues?

Snowboarding Dogs

With all the snow that has come down in the last week it reminds me of the times I tried snowboarding. The last time I went snowboarding I did a flip and fell on my ass and bruised it and walked around very slowly for a week and could hardly sit down. I take my hat off to these dogs and wish I could snowboard as well as they do.

Iran's Supreme Leader Vows Surprise 'Punch' This Week

Monday, 08 Feb 2010 08:50 PM

Article Font Size

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.

The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the US-backed shah on February 11, 1979.

His comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful.

This year's anniversary is expected to become a flashpoint between security forces and supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who charge that the June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged.

Opposition supporters are expected to stage anti-government protests on Thursday when the traditional regime-sponsored marches to mark the revolution take place across the country.

Mousavi renewed his call for demonstrations on the February 11 anniversary.

Just over a week ago, he and Karroubi had implicitly called for a gathering of their supporters.

"The 22nd of Bahman is upon us, truly it should be called the day of gathering," Mousavi said on his Kaleme.org website Monday.

"I feel we have to participate while maintaining the collective spirit as well as our identity and leave an impression," Mousavi said.

"Anger and bitterness should not take our control away.

"The clerics should know that since imprisonment, beatings, and other confrontational methods are done in the name of Islam and the Islamic regime, it is hurting Islam and we all should try to stop," he added.

Anti-government protests were first triggered after the June 12 presidential election won by Ahmadinejad.

Over the past eight months, several thousand people were arrested. Some were released and others were given hefty prison terms, among them politicians, journalists and human rights activists.

Two protesters were tried, convicted and hanged in the aftermath of the election.

Khamenei told the air force personnel the "most important aim of the sedition after the election was to create a rift within the Iranian nation, but it was unable to do so and our nation's unity remained a thorn in its eyes."

Two-Inch LEGO Gun Gets 4th-Grader Patrick Timoney in Trouble; Where's the NRA?

Click here to read the whole story at cbsnews.com

I understand that people are scared about guns and it is a serious issue but this principle has to be an idiot. They can't be serious that they were going to suspend a 9-year old for this. Thank God I grew up in a time where I could be a kid because If I was a kid today I might have gotten suspended for pretending to have a gun with my fingers.
