Breach of contract.

Beckham was imported because of what he could do for the league. He was to be an ambassador. He said so himself, even as fans around the world quizzically and repeatedly asked, “Why MLS?”
“It’s also about being an ambassador for the game here and, hopefully, it is going to encourage other players to [...]

Here is another individual who has contributed to this blog’s revival. Along with Gibbs, Joe Biden is really too good to be true.

Alexander Ovechkin.

No known human language is fit to describe fully the sheer beauty of this sequence or its astronomical degree of difficulty. Therefore, watching the clip is recommended.

3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. (Even Congressional Republicans shut out.)
4. No more secrecy.
5. Public will have 5 days to look at a bill.

And yet more on the cult of the fierce urgency of pork, from Clayton Cramer.
Many “primitive” religions confuse cause and effect. The priest tells you to sacrifice an animal (or sometimes a human being) to make sure that the rains come, so that there will be a bountiful harvest. Would the rains come anyway? Who [...]
