    there’d be more jobs if bumblefuck would let us drill the oils

    not just the oil drilling jobs but all the monies we send away for the imported oils could stay here

    He’s a crap president, Jeff.

    Just utter crap.

    Here’s where another:

    After retirement: Lafleur currently operates a helicopter rental company in Montreal that shuttles VIPs to and from the airport. He was at the controls when the Tampa Bay Lightning’s André Roy proposed to his fiancée, the Stanley Cup serving as the engagement ring bearer. Guy Lafleur also owns a restaurant in Berthierville, Quebec, “Guy Lafleur Mikes Signature” It opened in 2002. Lafleur has opened a new restaurant, called “Bleu, Blanc, Rouge!” in Rosemère, Quebec, August 4, 2008.

    [edit] Criminal conviction and acquittal: Lafleur’s son Mark had a number of run-ins with the law, including charges of sexual assault. Part of Mark’s bail conditions was that he remain at his father’s house. In 2008, questions about Lafleur’s testimony in his son’s case resulted in an arrest warrant being issued for Lafleur, which his lawyer criticized as an unnecessary embarrassment.[5] In 2009 Guy Lafleur was charged with obstruction of justice for helping Mark to break his curfew by driving him to a hotel to see his girlfriend; the trial was scheduled for April 2009. Lafleur has filed a $2.8 million dollar civil suit against police and prosecutors, claiming that his rights were violated.[6]

    On May 1, 2009 Lafleur was convicted and on June 18, 2009 was given a one year suspended sentence. Lafleur was also fined $100 and ordered to donate $10,000 to charity.[7][8]

    On August 17, 2010, Lafleur was unanimously acquitted of all charges by the Quebec Court of Appeal, throwing out his previous conviction.[9]

    I am dreadfully sorry. I didn’t mean to start some folk revival.

    Take the #149 car over on the Party Lines Thread, for your added convenience.

    DiPietro said [:] “He’s got long arms.”

    Just wanted to see him say it again.

  8. guinsPen says:

    Speaking of things long, are y’all jiggling the same ad astarboard as I?

  9. guinsPen says:

    No, gyrating.

  10. cranky-d says:

    Google wants me to buy a hovercraft, I think.

  11. guinsPen says:

    Whew, gone.

    For the curious, it resembled this, only without the bonus Bj?rk bath footage.

  12. JD says:

    I keep getting zaggmate ads for my iPad in the sidebar. And I already bought the damn thing.

  13. guinsPen says:

    Good, back.

    I could use a new one, as mine is full of eels.

  15. happyfeet says:

    hey my Ralph’s is on fire this is very exciting

  16. happyfeet says:

    oh.

    is that
    all there is?

  17. JD says:

    Your grocery store is on fire?!

  18. Entropy says:

    Does it smell nice or just like burnt?

  19. motionview says:

    9.4%, 9.8%, you know that all of these numbers are really just patriarchal capitalist tools of repression. Didn’t Nancy tell you that you were now free to work with your inner muse?

  20. JD says:

    Apropos of absolutely nothing, I got a live track of Alison Krause singing When You Say Nothing. Se has one of the most amazingly pure voices.

  21. JD says:

    Great link, serr8d. Thanks. That fellow strumming the lap guitar was fun to watch. Yelveton could not dream of playing music with heart like that.

  22. pdbuttons says:

    a thread that mentions bobby orr
    and bjork!
    say it with dead flowers at my wedding-
    and i won’t forget to put roses on your grave

  23. happyfeet says:

    it smelled like wood it was funny I heard sirens really close and loud at the same time my apartment started getting really smoky and I didn’t stop to check but I bet the look on my face was one of genuine concern

    hi Mr. buttons I hope you are warm and dry the weather has been sorta problematic in many places is my understanding

  24. guinsPen says:

    Finally, bouncyfoot busts his cherry.

  25. The flowers are probably all crushed up and dessicated in the bottom of your NPR totebag. Look under the Eggers book you never started and the Richard Russo book you only read part of in the stacks. They look good all shiny and hardback, plus the Fresh Air interview was so coooool… I’m sure you would have finished reading them if you hadn’t been so caught up in “Dancing with the Stars” this time, and I realize you had to STOP THAT WOMAN, but seriously, you’re going to owe another $50 in overdue book fees if you can’t manage to dry out the copy of iPhone for Dummies you dropped in the tub.

    Drudge is posting reports of unemployment is down to 9% but with a tiny increase of jobs (about 36,000 nation wide) which makes no sense whatsoever. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Unemployment-falls-to-90-pct-apf-1708751437.html?x=0&.v=3

  27. Joe says:

    Construction is booming in North Dakota. With oil prices going up, that shale oil deposit there his estimated to have more oil than Saudi Arabia (whether it is all recoverable remains to be seen, but it is looking better than expected).

  28. SDN says:

    Joe, when 500,000 people aren’t counted as unemployed because they have given up on ever finding a job, the unemployment rate drops….

  29. Squid says:

    Construction is booming in North Dakota.

    Every time I read this, all I can do is wonder where the construction materials come from. Sure as hell isn’t a tree anywhere at hand.

  30. guinsPen says:

    “Yelverton” and “strumming the lap guitar” belong in the same sentence.

    There sat William, cat in hand…
