Moonshine is a wonderful thing!

I probaby couldn;t tell the difference between Rosie O'Donnell and Jenny McCarthy right about now, but damn I feel good!

Question: why do they insist on calling the criminal who tried to assassinate Repr. Giffords, who killed a federal judge and four other people including a nine-year old child, and who maimed and injured more than a dozen other innocent people a "suspect"?

I don't suspect him of anything -- it's pretty clear he is 100% responsible. :ph34r:

^^^ What she said, plus they're reporters, and they're bound by the laws of libel. If, by some remote chance, they report on a case and call the person the anything that insinuates that he did it, and the person is found innocent, the person can sue.

Not at all likely in this case, but they're covering their butts by just having it as a blanket policy.

It doesn't bother me. A guilty person is a guilty person whether they have been proven or not, and no matter what we call them. Even if the court somehow finds them not guilty (again, not likely at all in this case), if they did it, they will answer for it in the end.

I'm not a vindictive person, but I do believe that it all comes out in the wash. I hope for mercy, because I know what I've done in my life, and wrong is wrong. I don't believe in little or big. It's just wrong is wrong.

This guy will get what's coming to him, one way or the other, no matter what the papers say about him.

I appreciate the few media sources who call him what he is: an assassin.

I also hope he gets what is coming to him. No insanity plea. He knew what he was doing. Don't even get me started on Tom Delay.

I once wanted to be a lawyer. It's a good thing I'm not one. :ph34r:

Agreed, Puckloo. It bothers me to hear news sources refer to him as a suspect, but it bothers me more to see how this issue has turned into a right/left political debate. Innocent people were murdered and many more injured. The last thing the media should be doing is trying to divide people against each other.. especially on an issue that you would think would get the same horrified reaction out of just about anybody.

The shooting has made me realize more and more how serious an untreated mental disorder is. I read some reports that the young man in question exhibited signs of schizophrenia at an early age, but his parent(s) never took him to get checked/treated. His own classmates and teachers were afraid he was going to bring a gun to school.

How are you so uninvolved with your own child's life that you don't realize he's turning into a psychopath?

You know what I thought of earlier? Lidstrom has never NOT been in the playoffs his entire NHL career. (Aside from the lockout.)

That's a good question. On one hand, e-mail addresses should sound somewhat professional, but on the other hand you don't want too many to keep track of.

I'd say as long as it isn't bangyerdaughter69@pothed.com you should be fine. That one is really much too long.

It helps that he's been a Red Wing his entire career. :P

Dom never missed them either, except for the lock out and in Ottawa when he was injured and couldn't play.

The Buffalo Sabres, with Dom in goal, never missed the playoffs. After he left for Detroit, they missed the playoffs for three straight years. Wonder who carried that team? :cool:

I am writing up a resume and my e-mail address is smitty23521...should I create a new one for this resume or is it ok to go? Input please

I agree that's not too bad of an email. Of course if you're sending out a lot of resumes and only want the job search stuff to be in there you could set up an email that you use strictly for that. Then once you get that new job you can get rid of it.

gmail or hotmail = disposable email accounts. It's good to have one strictly for resume, job search, actually.

I think you should change your name to AllThingsDom. :P

Seriously though, how awesome for both of them.

Someone around here has to do it. :D Most of the other Dom supporters quit posting here, due to all the bashing. I am harder to get rid of than most.

Someone stole my rain bells, like these from my front-yard flower bed today. How nice. :(

That sucks about the chimes.

My friend's wife is a florist. The other day she had someone come in asking for a certain kind of flower, but she couldn't remember the name. Finally she thought she remembered it and said, "Oh! I know! I want to get chlamydia!"

I wonder what made the mods completely ban him, finally.

He said NFM did it with no explanation, but you have to admit the guy wasnt that bad. He took so much s*** from everybody and never gave it back. The worst thing he ever did was Carey Price trolling and that was just hilarious.
