You should see the flowchart in John Stossel’s book detailing how to fire a teacher in NYC…it’s 2 1/5 pages long, and at a minimum takes 1 1/2 years to go through. There’s no provision for expedited firing in special cases, such as sexual molestation…you’ve got sexual predators with 70k jobs sitting in those rubber rooms because the city can’t fire them without going through the process. By far the most disturbing thing I read in that book.

Pictures of Megan Fox get me through the day. Women at my job even have a thing for her.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Heh, here’s a link to the entire process…notice the words at the end.
“You are now involved in a lawsuit, please consult your school attorneys for additional details”
Sometimes, it’s not so bad living in a right to work state.

curious what people think of the trick shots. for a guy of his size, can a guy really whip a ball behind his back that far? im calling BS on them
June 24th, 2009 at 8:33 am
f’n sweet editing job on the trick shot vid.
coal is kind in wv - the ceo of the coal company that Hannah was protesting has called out a NASA scientist (who was also arrested yesterday) for a “climate change debate” one v one @ a local college. its gonna be awesome.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:34 am
fixed
June 24th, 2009 at 8:36 am
we were out on the street, and coal gave my family a place to stay.
Coal IS kind.

@TBL
Doesn’t need that much force to go behind the back…centripetal force is key. Granted, I’m not really impressed by the shots themselves…just seems like a guy who can’t dunk so he worked on something else to make him seem impressive.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:42 am
Saw the trick shots last night via Shaq’s twitter. Color me very suspicious.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:42 am
Pretty sure those are not Oregon’s new uniforms in the picture but hey, UO sucks anyway.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:43 am
just seems like a guy who can’t dunk so he worked on something else to make him seem impressive.
Also, his ballhandling skills probably can’t even carry him through a quality pickup game. He dribbles so slow, when he makes those lame-ass moves. I don’t doubt that he eventually made all of those shots, but I’ll bet that took 8 days to put together.
I would not want to hang out with that guy.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Those new Oregon unis are hideous. Doesn’t a school have colors for a reason? Use them.
Megan really needs pics with long sleeve shirts to hide the hideous tattoos. She also needs gloves on to hide the club thumbs. Those pics yesterday were disturbing.
And FedEx looks more like a Beatle during the Sargeant Pepper days than he does the world’s best tennis player.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:44 am
how many uniforms do the Ducks have?
June 24th, 2009 at 8:47 am
I hate tenure for teachers. I had a teacher in high school who was the son of a board member. His teaching philosophy was to copy the teacher notes that the text book provided, put them on an overhead and read. He had posters of the band Poison on his wall and we were 90% sure he was banging one of his students. But the man had tenure, so firing him was next to impossible, even if he wasn’t a board member’s son. The teachers’ is one of the worst unions in the country. This country has got to up the pay AND responsibility of teachers and make it standard operating procedure to fire teachers when they don’t perform.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:54 am
TBL,
That is not the new Oregon uniforms, that photo is their current unis.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:55 am
1st usage in site history?
the ducks new unis were from the newspaper story
see the stars on the shoudlers
June 24th, 2009 at 8:56 am
Oregon’s new unis, with wings
June 24th, 2009 at 8:57 am
Gods: not to mention nepotism runs rampant in schools. In NJ the only way you get a job is to be working at the school with an open position in a sub/aide position, to know someone, or be related to someone.
and tenure is horrible. i can think of at least a half dozen teachers off the top of my head who did jack shit the last three years before retirement, and they knew they could get away with it.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:58 am
being the son of a teacher and 12 short months away from marrying one, tenure for teachers is awful. It promotes laziness for the ones with no motivation and it just sets a bad example for the ones fresh out of college. DC right now is really going through some changes and if these new ideas work, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Obama try and implement some of them nationally. Of course, this means getting approval from the Teachers union, and history has shown that they usually win.

ok, new photo uploaded from the goducks.com

You think TBL watches PAC-10 football? Think again.
/The new Ducks unis have wings on the shoulders
June 24th, 2009 at 8:58 am
UO sucks. Still.

Anyone catch Superstars last night…
June 24th, 2009 at 9:00 am
TBL, you get the Sirius iPhone app?
June 24th, 2009 at 9:00 am
I’m never impressed when some morons spend 20 hours missing shots to compile a 2 minute video of made shots.
/worse than the touch football conference (Big 12)
June 24th, 2009 at 9:01 am
I was just watching the Japanese game show samurai guy (which I had been avoiding with centripetal force), and he’s got his eyes closed when he hits that baseball.
He might not be a real samurai.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:02 am
It was amazing when he tried to slap the backboard on his layup at 1:55.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:02 am
TBL, just trying to keep my hat. Just trying to keep my hat…
June 24th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Thank god NFL teams don’t travel by bus.
Tried to - it was so bad/boring.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:10 am
The end of Superstars was pretty interesting. Seeing TO get tangled up in a cargo net and his Super Model partner pretty much rip him apart for sucking at it. She was not a fan of his skills or him.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:14 am
i was at the gym when superstars was on and it seemed like TO was being a big baby in the pool. No sound so im not sure what the case was
June 24th, 2009 at 9:16 am
fuck that diva Joanna Krupa. TO got his foot stuck. TO stayed positive when that diva was going off
June 24th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I hope we don’t have another TO-apologist on our hands now that he is on the Bills. He is a talent, but man is he a total d-bag.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Oh yea, thats right, TO is a Bill now…. irish is gonna be hilarious during football season
June 24th, 2009 at 9:23 am

let me know when you find a woman with zero perceived flaws…

Brace yourselves for a ton of jokes about the Dolphins and their new partial owner … Gloria Estefan.
As if opposing teams didn’t have enough to worry about playing the Dolphins–Joey Porter, the Wildcat, etc.–now there’s this.
Watch out visiting teams. Because the rhythm is going to get you.

get pocket tunes. it’s a $10 app, but you can listen to every internet radio station in the country and you don’t need a monthly subscription to listen to sirius/xm on your iphone.

Someone without a big fucking picture of Marilyn Monroe is a big start.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Oh, and #1 on the NBA Wives Draft isn’t a bad place to start when looking for flawless…
This isn’t a bad example either.

She looks like you don’t want to be within 10 feet of her without a double dose of Valtrex and a hazmat suit on
June 24th, 2009 at 9:41 am
i don’t think i can ever recall looking at a chick’s thumbs and thinking that makes them less attractive.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:47 am
I don;t even understand whats so “hideous” about her tattoos. Marilyn monroe on her arm, Shakespeare on her back and whatever is written on her rib cage. I don’t see what the big deal is.
June 24th, 2009 at 9:56 am

Because I don’t feel like looking at a bad Andy Warhol exhibit when I look at a woman. Plus, she’s definitely gonna look like this in the not so distant future
June 24th, 2009 at 9:58 am
I don;t think she is going to have 90 billion dollars of plastic surgery done on her so that may be a stretch
June 24th, 2009 at 10:04 am

@Jersey: Yeah, right. What actress/model hasn’t/doesn’t? She probably already has (boobs, nose, teeth). Here’s a before pic of the one above before the “90 billion”
June 24th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Did you see those pics from yesterday? Never seen thumbs like that. They are scary…
I have another comment awaiting moderation. Not sure why, but it definitely gives 2 examples of less flawed women…

double links get caught, or “long character links” (at least they have for me)
June 24th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Steven Tyler has some pretty saggy tits.
June 24th, 2009 at 10:32 am
@jpq - It was a long character link… of Kate Beckinsale. The other wasn’t a link, but mere mention of #1 in the NBA Wives Draft…

To each their own. I think tattooed chicks are rad.
