Agree with those saying Clapton's concert will probably not be worth it. While I haven't seen him in concert, reviews of his live shows at large venues in the US have been largely terrible. The guy comes off as very lazy and disinterested and even has other people in his band do all the heavy guitar riffing & soloing.

As much as I can't stand Scalia, he really writes some great opinions. Considering this is a rare case involving free speech and totally awesome video games, and violent ones at that, this should be a good read. Today is a good day.

The real surprise in this story is that there is actually really a place called "Toon" town. Was Roger Rabbit driving the getaway car?

Reckless, I bet you HE regrests marrying her! The dude is the PRINCE, for crying out loud! And he ended up with a chick who is basically chronically depressed and, quite frankly, hasn't aged all that well. He could have had it all...

Not to be a stickler for terminology but it was not "robbed" if there was no one there during the theft. It was "burglarized." A robbery is only committed if bodily injury (or the threat of it) is used in the course of the theft... Which obviously did not happen if no one was in the store at the time of the crime.

I just don't see how he is any more incompetent than the half-dozen or so PMs that preceded him in the past few years, or any of those criticizing him.
Posted in: Prime Minister Naoto Kan continues to be criticized by members of his own party and the opposition, as well as business groups for his lack of leadership during the current crisis. What more could he have done and what should he be doing? For example, should he be out of the country now, attending the G-8 summit?

On the bright side, it can't be any less funny than the American version.

Kaptan, you are the MAN! Great posts throughout and a great unintended puN!

This question presumes that men without power, like your average Joe, or average salaryman, does not risk everything with their sexual behavior. Which is of course false. All men and women who cheat are taking a risk, to some extent. And when a rich powerful man loses his government post, for example, how is this any bigger a loss than when your average salaryman loses his children, reputation, home, and a significant chunk of income in a divorce?

This dress shows me at least 2 reasons this chick appears in the news every now and then. Nicegaijin's comment mentions the other reason.

I stand corrected. In that case, I'm sure members who paid the $30,000 entrance fee will be perfectly satisfied watching "J'Elvis" perform. Seriously though, I am by no means knocking the good intentions of this event.

With a $30,000 per year membership, I'm surprised the TAC can't put together a better line-up.

Perfectly fitting in light of the nuclear reactor disaster. You know, the San Onofre nuclear plant looks exactly like a pair of breasts. Google it.

Obama said he authorized the killing. This is not necessarily the authorization of murder, which by definition is the "unlawful" killing of another. I don't think Obama would ever admit to authorizing a murder, because he will claim it was lawful.

He lost all credibility with the treadmill comment. Jogging, whether on a treadmill or street, is extremely effective. Has worked for me for the past few years.
