Damn Fallon does a good Neil http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/15/pants-on-the-ground-neil_n_424468.html "Jimmy Fallon broke out his spot-on Neil Young impression last night for a heart wrenching rendition of "Pants On The Ground." The tune, penned by 62-year-old "American Idol" contestant General Larry Platt, has been making the rounds this week due to ridiculous lyrics like "Pants on the ground / Lookin' like a food with your pants on the ground!" But coming out of Neil Young's emotional voice, those words never sounded more poignant." What he was parodying: this is now stuck in my head on an endless loop

Wow. Shutout! Good job waking up and taking over that game Leafers.

They def got much better after that first goal. All 3 have been nice goals too!!!

It's good that it didn't suck ... like the Hoovers he fixed

Booorring game so far. However, Bozak just scored a beauty of a goal for his first of the season and as a Leaf!

"Phish Parking Lot"

"Mr. Robertson, Mr. Limbaugh, your lives are not worth those of the lowest, meanest, poorest of those victims still lying under that rubble in Haiti tonight. You serve no good, you serve no God. You inspire only stupidity and hatred, and I would wish you to hell. But knowing how empty your souls must be for you to be able to say such things in a time of such pain, I suspect the vacant, purposeless lives you both live now are hell enough already."

Schwa. from what I know the Toronto District School Board is a mess. It is not well run and in a financial mess (not only from gov't legislation, but inept management and infrastructure too). There are a lot of issues that the TDSB has to deal with and without support, single teachers in classrooms that still exceed ratios are fucked. Other boards have their unique problems too, but I do know that some are much more desirable to work in based on how they are run. Pay scales are different in each one too. Weird. This is something that needs to be addressed and I hope it happens sometime. Why is it that the province has 72 district school boards? That doesn't count the Catholic Boards either. Talk about red tape and bureaucracy. Shouldn't all publically funded schools fall under the same umbrella? Streamlining would with efficiency.

I could take 5 people from my workplace and they would bitch to levels equal to, or greater than, your 5 teachers. Ha! Seriously, get any group of workers together and they'll find ways to bitch. If a workplace and system is being piss-poorly run then they've got material. What? You have the chance to strike ... it's called quitting if you hate your job that much. You can say the same to a teacher if you hear them bitching at the level you just went off at. What is your job? How does it compare to the teaching profession? Apples / Oranges? Or are you a teacher in a private system that doesn't have as many rights as those in the public sector and your management team making you stay 'til midnight and weekends and not being paid for it??? If that's the case, then yes, you should strike/quit. Please birdy ... take some time off and come volunteer in my wife's classroom for a week. Then report back and tell me there's no stress. Hmmmmm. Hours and effort? What kind of hours and effort do you think a public school teacher involves? Why pity them? Join 'em if it's so bloody great already. Minimal hours and effort along with all those great perks and slacking off all day??? You must REALLY hate firefighters too! Half-true Birdy. That should read "Offending teachers? Yes! Just sayin'!"

A response to Pat Robertson's callous and fuckwad douchbaggity comments on Haiti. Maddows has class: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy and i like what one person posted in the comments section aimed at Roberts: FUCK YOU Pat

Ovechkin almost fights. Too bad it was interrupted:

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOWGIRRRRRRRLSSSS !!

Exactly. So often the case when they drag their heels. They have the numbers crunched and often find themselves in situations to break even, or possibly even profit from work stoppage. Yup, and the spin-masters make it so easy to pit the public and students against the teachers (you know, they've got it soooooo easy and do nothing all day/night). Classic divide-and-conquer mentality for beating an opponent. Word!

If the union and the employer got together and faithfully worked out a deal with a reasonable deadline then this could happen. Problem is, both sides dig in their heels and neither offer to budge prior to deadlines and then result to lockouts (employer) or strikes (employees). Blame goes both ways. The process needs to be altered. Why not have binding legislation that states that a labour arbitrator is IMMEDIATELY assigned to force a deal to made if the two sides can't mutually agree by a deadline? This would ensure that action is taken and no need for any work stoppage or missed classes. btw - for those who constantly bitch'n'moan about teachers ... if it's such a fantastic job, what's stopping you from getting your qualifications and becoming one??? I'd love to see how many days (hours) some people could survive in the profession and having to deal with the way it's being operated.

knew it would only be a matter of time . Pretty funny actually: EMBED-Hitler Weighs in on the OBrien/Leno Controversy - Watch more free videos

This reminds me of a scene in the 1981 movie Student Bodies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_Bodies

Oh FUCK! It's like the Tsunami from 2004 all over again. It's that nice dude, GOD, punishing people for not believing in HIM ... but he's all about love right? http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201001130024

[color:purple]they are the Na'vi, no?

I think his divorce has done a number on him

I saw them interviewed here at the CBC yesterday before they screened the first episode. They are still funny (as they were on their tour last year). I chose not to watch the episode as the sound was horrible in the atrium and I'd prefer to be in a "certain mood" as well \ I really hope that Scott Thompson is completely in the clear from his stomach cancer. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5iYvdssyPlMPR9uWoYo-ym3a9H-9A
