Yikes. This has all been plastered all over the web-o-spheres, but really, how stupid is Chris Culliver? Here’s a guy who, on the verge of the biggest game of his young career, spouts anti-gay remarks to a Howard Stern employee on tape. Ooops. He follows that with a supremely shitty game.
The ice was thin at that point, but he did the necessary percerption-is-reality speech and vowed to spend a month hanging out at the Stud to immerse himself in the gay community and maybe figure out how to cover a tight end coming out of the backfield. Wink wink.
On his way back to respectability, he managed to blow his knee out early last training camp, and thus was lost for the season. He kept his nose clean and was on his way back to his under-the-radar status, and inheriting a starting spot at CB, what with Tarell Brown scooting across the Bay Bridge for Oaktown, and Carlos Rogers being given his outright release. However, last Friday morning, he managed to hit a bicyclist on Seventh Ave in San Hozay, and proceeded to flee the scene. In his attempted flee he clipped another car and was eventually cornered by a concerned citizen who witnessed the hit-and-run. For his concern, the citizen was then threatened to get the shit beat out of him by our (anti) hero with a pair of brass knuckles if he didn’t get out of his way. The cops arrived, and I guess Chris figured it was time to cut his losses, as you don’t bring brass knuckles to a gun fight.
Aside the societal ramifications of football players who think they are somehow bigger than the world they live in, Culliver isn’t a good enough corner to recieve the rope that a guy like Aldon Smith got (hey Aldon! Check out MY gun collection!!). So, he’s likey on a one-way ticket to Pac-Man Jonestown. A couple years spent in purgatory (with a 3 month stint in the Santa Rita Correctional Facility), and some serious image rehab. More often than not, these guys do mend their ways, at least perceptually (which is all that matters to Goodie Goodell), but other times you end up like Art Schichter. Doin’ hard time after running a gambling ring in the early 80s, and now a ticket-selling scam where he pocketed millions to gamble with.

The tea party was fine when it was a grass-roots deal when it started. They were idiots, but so are most of the occupiers.
When Fox news co-opted the tea party as an arm of their apparatus, then all bets were off.
I used Tea Party and Occupy as 2 visible groups diametrically opposed politically both seeking change in the rigged political system.
Now that is spreading to Main St average Joe blow, I expect to see Uni and College campuses begin serious demonstrations as the young are generally first to think they can change the world. I also expect it to grow to the point some change will have to occur. Initially largely lip service change to try to placate the population but if people press the issue it will bring about more profound change. The internet is the key since it is mostly not controlled by special interests the way TV and print media is.
The only reservation I have is be careful what you wish for as in the case of the Arab Spring and now Ukraine the new system is as broken as the old if in a different way.
Removing money from the election cycles is what is needed not wholesale overthrow of the governing system which when implemented as designed is a great system.
The warnings of the Founders as well as past Presidents have proven to be true. Value freedom first and foremost.
True this, agree
The whole dem/republican deal is all smoke and mirrors. 2 flavors of the same koolaid for the most part.
Yes this is why I’m libertarian, pro liberty.
IU tell you, the bullshit around school loans, and the price of admission, will be a big deal. I got so fucked over by the so-called regulation of school loans. Rates were supposed to go down, but they skyrocketed in the past 10 years.
Yes this is a big issue and needs to change to a more affordable model. Luckily I got my loan before it got out of control and paid it off ASAP. I also decided against more education as my 2nd career was only going to be 15 years max = too short to be able to pay off more loans. Now there is a whole huge class of ‘debt slaves’ who are unable to get jobs and are essentially fucked due to Education loans
