Aside from the Beatles, I have never heard anything positive about Liverpool without searching for it. In fact, I would like to point out the rampant racism that exists in Europe and the UK against Scousers, people from Liverpool. Example the first: I mentioned to a friend online that I would like to visit Liverpool to see a football (soccer) game and asked what I should see while there. She said I should keep an eye on my wallet. Example the second: There was a terrible crush at Hillsborough. 96 Liverpool supporters (fans) were killed. The Sun newspaper reported despicable lies about the Liverpool supporters. Example the third: Some Italian soccer supporters were killed when a stadium wall fell on them. The Europeans blamed the Liverpool supporters and banned Liverpool from European competition for years, despite very strong evidence showing that the Italian supporters attacked Liverpool supporters, causing a crush. Example the fourth: Urban Dictionary. EDIT - Example the fifth: http://www.sickipedia.org/subcategory/view/1317.

The issue is either bigotry against class or bigotry against cultural origin. In this case, I find that cultural origin in the source of the bigotry. Basically, there is a strong bigotry against people from Liverpool, otherwise known as Scousers or Liverpudlians.

Apparently, my lawyer had convinced the Active Historical Council that the death penalty could not be applied. I did not alter the timeline for fiscal gain. I suppose there was nothing monetary about getting Wilberforce so drunk that he converted to Methodism and thereby altering most of the early 19th century. The guy had really good Madeira, what can I say? Anyways, it didn't alter the timeline much. There was only a couple of frigate actions and a sea battle during the American Civil War that were prevented. I don't think anyone would miss the battle between Milne and Farragut. I know I didn't.

But I was stuck. I am a historian, not a temporal engineer. So I did what any mad social scientist would do in those circumstances. I found a plain old mad scientist.

Nick and Sam were a gas. By that point, Tesla had more or less stopped any inventions that would have relevance to the information age. Most of his notes by that point were indecipherable to someone who subscribed to the theory of the luminiferous aether or Einstein's understanding of relativity. But it was Sam that focused Nick. A few jokes and Nick could work for hours.

Well, we never did get the transport strap to work. Instead, after I explained micro-chips and took a brief trip into the late 20s to get the circuits mapped, we reverse engineered it into man sized box. If it's good enough for Bill and Ted and the Doctor, it's good enough for us. Beats getting hit on the head with a hammer and waking up at some random time in history.

We played around for three years of our personal time. By the end, we were thoroughly sick of each other. Sam, for all his talk, can be a prude, and Nick can be pretty unstable at times. He would insist on visiting Hawking over and over, just to laugh at him. Sam went home to his family and Nick to his lab. I kept the box just long enough to get a new transport strap.

I read an article today explaining why Liverpool needs a new and better striker than Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. Certainly, a new striker would improve LFC. Carroll doesn't exactly move with grace, and Suarez is too small to control the area in front of the net or move the ball around in the EPL with dominance.

However. Liverpool's biggest problem is moving the ball up to the offense. For that, Liverpool does not need striking, but rather passing. Although I have not watched soccer (football) for long, I have become convinced the team that passes best will win.

No football team can survive on defense against a ball that is fluidly moving across the field when that ball also remains in control. Instead of spending money on a striker and becoming good football team, Liverpool could get a passing center midfielder or winger and become a great football team. It would also serve to cover some of Lucas' deficiencies and thereby cause LVP fans to groan less in games.

Ingredients:

One goose breast, cut thin for stir frying.
One sweet onion, cut thin for stir frying.
Cranberry jelly
Cranberries
Soy Sauce
Olive Oil.

Stir fry onions in olive oil until onions turn semi-transparent.
Add everything else.
Serve with lots of sauce from the cooking process.

The problem with forgiveness is that it is seldom deserved.

Ever notice every time a revolution occurs in two countries, fucktard intelligentsia wannabe reporters compare it to 1848?

We donâ(TM)t serve faster-than-light neutrinos here,â said the bartender. A neutrino walks into a bar.

A Google A Day

Tom and Bob were cousins from Virginia who served at the Battle of Gettysburg in the 36th Infantry and fought bravely in the cavalry. Yet they were thrown in prison not for a crime, but because of who they were. In what prison did they land?

Google Game Answer:
How to find the answer: Search [Civil War cousins +Tom +Bob soldiers 36th Infantry] to find that the cousins in question were Mary and Mollie Bell from Virginia, who served in both the cavalry and the 36th Infantry Division. Adding the plus sign in front of Tom's and Bob's names ensures that the Google search will include those words and will not include any synonyms. Search [Mollie Bell prison] to find that the cousins were held for two weeks in Castle Thunder, a notorious prison in Virginia.

According to all the orders of battle I found regarding Gettysburg, there was no 36th Infantry Division. There was a 36th Infantry Virginia Battalion, which is not a Division, but is in fact much smaller than a division. Google = fails

It's time to stop calling the economic downturn a recession. It is a depression.

I was thinking on unalienable responsibilities today.
1. Not interfere with another man's life.
2. Not interfere with another man's liberty, except in so far as that man is being punished for breaking the law.
3. Not interfere with another man's.... I cannot say right to happiness, for what if you compete with that man? Is lowing the price of your product interfering with his happiness?

What are unalienable responsibilities?

Does day care lead to a hypersocialization and a decline of the reliance on self? This in turn leads to a decline in the noble self-reliant individual (or even the noble selfism espoused by objectivists) and a rise in the destructively selfish individual. I suggest this hypothesis as I have seen a decline in the self reliance in recent generations and wonder if this is the result of bad upbringings that can be traced to day care.

Has anyone else seen an explosion of compromised AOL Accounts? These are in many cases accounts that have not been entered for months or years. I have seen nothing on tech news sites or on AOL itself, but this is a pattern that has been occurring for a month and more.

I would encourage people to delete their old AOL accounts, but it doesn't appear to be possible.

A judge sentenced children to jail in a prison whose owners gave him kick backs. The death penalty should be reserved for corrupt civil servants and people who murder with torture, but especially judges. The judge got 28 years, but it should be hanging.

Also for your review, a police officer who should be in jail. And his partner as well.

First episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day was on this evening. Spoilers ahoy!

First, was there was a reference to UNIT? I thought I heard one, but my wife and her sister were talking at each other when the show was on.

Second, when Jack was talking to Gwen about his wound not healing immediately, the 9th Doctor's theme was playing in the background. What was that about?

Third, what references to Bad Wolf did I miss? I feel confident that there must be some, if not now then in future episodes.

Fourth, where are Martha and Mickey? I understand I'll likely never get an answer to this, but its a question that should have an answer.

Fifth, we need an explanation for the Doctor not being on Earth during the 456, and not Gwen Cooper's throat cutting monologue.

Tony Morrison as the Commendatore. This would be from Don Giovanni. The Commendatore was killed early in the opera, but has returned as a statue at the invitation of the vile Giovanni himself. Giovanni is offered several opportunities to reform, but refuses. As a result, he is dragged to hell by the Commendatore and evil spirits.

The costuming and staging are unfortunate, but Morrison's voice is not. When I saw him at Ravinia (in a rather poorly acoustically designed room) a few years ago, he was imperiling the windows with his magnificent voice. In the version I saw, Morrison (a former left guard) picked up Giovanni like a ragdoll and carried him offstage.
