Ron Paul sums up the latest $82B in money that Congress needed in an emergency appropriation bill. Nice to see where the government is sending the cash it has stolen from our coffers. Enjoy...comments are Ron's not mine.

-$656 million for tsunami relief. As I’ve written before, Americans have sent hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations to tsunami victims. Why should we be taxed further? Why is flooding in Sri Lanka or Thailand more important than flooding in Wharton, Victoria, or Galveston, Texas?

-$94 million for Sudan, another candidate for charity rather than government aid;

-$582 million to build a new American embassy in Iraq, an outrageous sum considering that entire luxury resorts are built for less than $500 million;

-$76 million to build a new airport in Kuwait, one of the wealthiest countries on earth;

-Over $500 million to address the drug trade in Afghanistan, despite clear evidence that the production of opium has grown exponentially since America began pouring billions of tax dollars into that country in 2001;

-$200 million in economic aid for the Palestinians;

-$150 million for Pakistan, which is run by an unelected dictator;

-$34 million for Ukraine, where the U.S. already intervened in last year’s elections using your tax dollars. Ukraine recently repaid our generosity by dumping the U.S. dollar and adopting an exchange rate that includes the Euro.

Roids, MLB and the government.....

This is a topic that I find terribly interesting and couldn't enjoy all the news surround anymore than I am. The sad part is that the entire thing is a joke. Why is the government involved in major league baseball and how they run their league? Why are guys like McGwire and co. being put on the witness stand in front of the world? What crime are they being tried for? Are we going to do the same thing to our Olympic athletes, to NFlers, to NHLers, to tennis pros and the rest.? This whole thing is BS to the max. Did guys juice? Well that is very clear now and if you read this article back in 2002 in T-mag, you would have known this. If you ever talked to anyone connected with any professional sports league who didn't walk around with blinders on, you would know that this is going on in all sports. Guys can't compete at the MLB, NBA, NFL level without doing something to get so much bigger, faster and stronger. Yeah training, diet and creatine help, but most if not near all these mofos took some kind of steroid at some point to get that extra juice. How many take growth hormones, that they can't test for so that they heal faster? NFLers??? NBAers??? And is it really that much of a heath risk? Didn't Arnie do roids? And not Canseco like amounts, but ridiculously high amounts according to guys that know. Should he be called in? How about all the women out there on birth control aka Estrogen....should they be tested? Is testosterone that bad? If you are mid 20s and under, it might be. If you are 45/50 or taking under a doctors supervision? Prob not. Instead of villianizing these guys we should start testing and see what the health benefits are. Can someone please bring that up?

Wake Foreset goes down...

Well the Demon Deacons went done early in the NCAAs once again . Unfortunately not playing D and bitching at the refs didn't work out for us. The D was a concern all season, and proved to be the nail in the coffin. I still can't believe that Chris Paul fouled out on that lay-up attempt. Come on man...we needed you on the court. Def a WTF moment, and helped seal the deal. E Williams played ok though and we have a lot coming back including hopefully Mr. Paul though next year he won't foul out. Deacon hoops is a case study in disappointments since I've been there. Ohh well...there is always next year.

Don't let guys shoot wide open threes....PLEASE!!!
