Going to pick them up from FedEx (location not the field) on Monday. Can't wait for the Training Camp to end and the season to begin. Hail to the Redskins! I have season tickets, but unfortunately my family fell on some hard times, like many during the recession, and I cannot afford to make it to every home game this year. If you or anyone you know are interested in seeing the greatest franchise EVER, the availability can be found here or you can email me at iwantskinstix at g mail.com. They are club level and underneath an awning, so in case of bad weather you are protected. It has all the club level perks as well as an Orange parking pass. It is honestly an amazing experience...I am also tired of selling them off to Giants fans, true Hogs are much appreciated.

Friday ya'll! It is a muggy day out and I am in a muggy mood. I had to drop off Lil Sis Frank at the airport before dawn. Swore I was going to get jumped by some Vampires. Didn't happen, but I saw a homeless guy sleeping on a bench near my lady's place. Close enough. I didn't get much sleep, so doubling up on the coffee is going to be key.

A friendly reminder. I think I have posted this before, but part of my rage regarding the Arizona Immigration law is how deeply rooted it is in our history. Uhmerika hasn't changed a bit. Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 : The Chinese Exclusion Act was a significant restriction on free immigration in U.S. history. The Act excluded Chinese "skilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese employed in mining" from entering the country for ten years under penalty of imprisonment and deportation.[7][8] The few Chinese non-laborers who wished to immigrate had to obtain certification from the Chinese government that they were qualified to immigrate, which tended to be difficult to prove.[8] Volpp argues that the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is a misnomer, in that it is assumed to be the starting point of Chinese exclusionary laws in the United States. She suggests attending to the intersections of race, gender, and U.S. citizenship in order to both understand the restraints of su...

Last night was a great time. The Drinking Liberally folks came out to meet and hang out with Justin Krebs co-founder of Living Liberally . Krebs gave a short speech while explaining the inspiration for his book " 538 Ways to Live, Work and Play like a Liberal ." It was nice to hear how the organization began and what it inspires across cities large and small in our country. The overall feeling was that the DL is only getting stronger. It was nice to see the old gang as well. I hadn't been to DL since I began Insanity, so we caught up on things and mostly just joshed around. Little fire breathing even more less rage.

I have no desire to do anything today. It is Monday and Monday's have become such a dreadful experience at work lately, that I have considered taking vacation days each Monday of every month. This, of course, would backfire as I do not have enough vacation days and it would just lend itself to more chaos on Tuesdays. Aye there is the rub. This weekend was a success! The lady and me dredged through copious amounts of suburbanites and survived. We also purchased some much needed items (cologne and such) and a gift for Lil Sis Frank. We enjoyed the Frozen Sangria mixed with Frozen Margarita at the Avenue Ale House in Oak Park while treating ourselves to some decadent fried veggies, a shrimp salad and a BISON BURGER.

It is Friday. Thank the Lord or Jeebus or Allah or whoever. This week has felt rather long. Not sure why as I was busy, but it felt strung out and long winded.

We are heading to the Oak Park area , she is going to get her shopping fix in, we will say hello to my extended family and then share some sweet Sangria . The idea is to get away from the city and enjoy each others company since most of the summer we have been with friends and family. Not like that is a bad thing, but apparently the lady likes me and wants to just hang out with this guy. WINNER! We start the next INSANITY workout on Monday. MAX EVERYTHING!!

How America deals with Climate Change and Energy Policy: Light it on fire, and let its carbon pollution soar into the sky unrestricted: climate change legislation is dead. At a press conference this afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Sen.

"Many of us want to do a thorough comprehensive [climate and energy] bill that creates jobs, breaks our addiction to foreign oil, and curbs pollution," Reid said. "Unfortunately at this time we don't have a single Republican to work with in achieving this goal. For me it's terribly disappointing and it's also very dangerous.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy I said my piece last night about the Shirley Sherrod story . The culprit in this is Andrew Breitbart, a sociopath who wants nothing but to divide this nation. The administration, however and the White House's handling of the situation has been disappointing . I was watching the Today Show this morning and instead of focusing on the dark deception of false equivalencies drummed up by the right wing noise machine they focused on the administration's mistake. Exactly what I feared. Hopefully this will pass as we have much more pressing issues, but damn if this wasn't avoidable . I want to say more about my own experiences. I want to tell you how I empathize with Sherrod. I want to give you examples, but that would play into identity politics that I know happens too often. The real shame of this is it is clear we can't talk about race like grown ups . Not in Uhmerika. I have a busy and hectic day up...

Dear Barack Obama, It's your White House and your administration and you should be embarrassed . Can you all do us a favor now and quit caving to every faux-controversy the right wing manufactures? We understand the media sucks and failed miserably in this case. It is, however worse to go along with it and lack complete barrs. If what Shirley Sherrod says turns out to be 100% tru e (which it certainly seems to be in this case) she should be given the job of the asshole who forced her to resign and get a huge apology with a bow on it. I will now hit my head on my desk repeatedly until it turns red. This is that fucking stupid. Andrew Breitbart is an idiot , why do we have to explain this?

Bonddad provides an interesting correlation between the last three recoveries in the U.S. : 1.) From a GDP growth rate perspective, this recovery has printed stronger than the last two recoveries at the same point in the recovery. 2.) Post-recovery employment has been a big problem for the last three recoveries.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy This week is the "recovery" week of Insanity. I am still getting my butt kicked and am starting to worry that I am going to flat line. I have looked up ways to combat this, the consensus is to get plenty of sleep and to up my caloric intake which I feel like I have been on top of throughout. Perhaps it is because I am still fighting off a cold from last week? I wake up every morning groggy. My nose is stopped up. My right ear feels as if someone is living in it.

Booman : The bottom line is that you can't promote extremism and hope to control it when it comes to power. That's why it's wrong for Mississippi politicians to go to CCC rallies and that's why it's wrong to play footsie with the Tea Party. The mainstream Republican Party has been atrociously bad for a long time, but the party that shut down the government and impeached Clinton morphed into the party that knew no fiscal discipline and couldn't call torture by its true name. As bad as those versions of the party were, they were child's play compared to what's emerging out of the Republican base today. The party is getting Palinized and if we're not good at combating them, the whole country is going to get Palinized. At least Trent Lott agrees with me that that won't be good for anyone. I doubt at this point there is any turning back. The Tea Party as far as I can tell IS the Republican Party. Obama is the anti-Christ and the NAACP is a racist or...

I have never understood why teachers don't get paid more, but apparently some get paid a decent wage in the Chicago area. The Tribune wants everyone to be outraged about that , but then when you look at the statistics of course it isn't outrageous: —About 4 percent of teachers statewide earned $100,000 or more — 5,457 teachers — but the vast majority worked in the Chicago suburbs, with heavy concentrations in north Cook, DuPage and Lake counties. In all, 32 Chicago-area districts paid at least 20 percent of their teachers six figures — five times the state average. —Six-figure teachers were unevenly distributed, with high school teachers making up 60 percent of the group — more than double their representation in the teaching force. Affluent suburban districts had the largest concentrations of six-figure teachers. Less than 1 percent of Chicago Public School teachers earned $100,000 or more in 2009 . A select few are paid relative to the community they are educating. How illogi...

Judge Joseph Tauro, of U.S. District Court in Boston, issued rulings on two separate cases today.
