Nah, Agassi, who this kid just smacks of, was 22 when he won his first Slam at Wimbledon. And most of his success came from 29 on.

This was what I was coming to say. This kid smacks of young Agassi. The one with so much potential, but just too much chip on the shoulder, too much teen angst.

Where you’re naive is thinking that big government can truly be independent. Whatever power you vest in the federal government, however much influence you grant them, understand it can and will all be used by people who are diametrically opposite to you, opposite of you politically, morally, socially.

Tim Raines was a Strat-O-Matic monster back in the late 80's. That’s why I know he belongs in the HOF.

Is it me or do the voices sound like South Park?

I hate to break it to you, but you’re bitching about the cost. Repeatedly.

Then why bitch about paying the money? I mean, you even elected to pay for 3D and Fandango convenience fees.

When asked to make statements contrary to the goals of their employer, I was shocked that no one stood up for those impacted by their company’s egregious behavior.

What’s your solution for them?

There are two ways the market can respond: 1. if too few people choose to pay and pirate material, said material would stop being produced OR 2. alternative monetization schemes will be found.

The key to any large defense project: distribute the pork widely.

Where is this “affordable” of which you speak?

Grizzly bears must just be the dumbest answer ever given in a confirmation hearing.

Are there really people who try to bait an armed trap? Do they have nicknames like Knuckles?

Of course, everyone here will dwell on the (understandable) offensiveness of the Redskins while ignoring the reality of The Slants. If this Asian American can secure the name of The Slants, what objective line can you create to prevent the Redskins? You have to be a member of the class? That’s nebulous at best.

My dog is much easier:
