The NFL has enough money to buy it's own stadiums, but most teams manage to blackmail stupid town councils into putting up money they don't have and can't afford to build new stadiums when the older ones remain in great shape -- or could be renovated easily.<br /><br />Pat Bowlen in Denver killed off Mile High Stadium because he wanted to break the concessions contract and because he wanted more luxury boxes. And Denver fell for it.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-47061929401671659452010-07-18T00:24:38.843-04:002010-07-18T00:24:38.843-04:00Scott - I was going to write about the ship at Gro...Scott - I was going to write about the ship at Ground Zero, just ran out of time.<br /><br />it's really cool.

The VO class is cool - I've got a good voice for sports stuff and this time next month, I'll have a reel which I can use for auditions. I'm sick of temping - if there's a way to use my talents for good ($$$), then I have to try it!<br /><br />As for the SNL class, you guys will dig this. Next week is monologues... anything with one person. I am attempting my first bit of political satire. Both parties are in my crosshairs but for this assignment, I will be writing an Obama speech about the methods used to cap the BP oil spill - they start off normal and get weirder and weirder (astral projection and stuff like that). :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-72160301554140789132010-07-17T22:51:36.965-04:002010-07-17T22:51:36.965-04:00Bev, When I was young, we moved from Florida to Co...Bev, When I was young, we moved from Florida to Colorado -- military family.

St. Helens blew in 1979-80.<br /><br />And you are right about Stewart. That is exactly the impression I got when I read her pathetic statements to the court. I'm so old, jail is killing me, it's horrible in there. Maybe if she had said "I'm sorry", she might have gotten out in 28 months.

She was trying to play us all for suckers by hiding behind the "but I'm a lawyer and I need to be able to counsel my client" line. In fact, she seemed to revel in how smart she was compared to us stupid Americans who couldn't see what she was doing. So I have no doubt that she knew exactly what she was doing and that she was doing it happily.<br /><br />By the way, for the record, the rules of ethics for attorneys are corrupt and designed to let dirty lawyers get away with a LOT. But there are still limits. Lawyers can't disclose clients secrets, but they also can't participate in crimes. That means they can't advise clients how to get away with a crime and they can't become a courier for them.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-32856554821578177692010-07-17T19:31:51.742-04:002010-07-17T19:31:51.742-04:00Andrew - I am actually impressed with Patterson. ...Andrew - I am actually impressed with Patterson.

And I remember when Billy Martin died. . . that was a bit of a shock.<br /><br />The bus company thing is so typical when we give the government the power intervene in things like this. If I were the judge, I'd award damages to the bus company for the frivolous suit. What an abuse of power.<br /><br />I saw the article on Lynne Stewart. . . GREAT!! In the old days, they would have hung her, and they should consider it this time as well. She is a traitor, pure and simple. And any lawyer that defends her should be ashamed.<br /><br />The Patterson thing sounds like a pretty good thing? Maybe all of our politicians should be disqualified for re-election, maybe that will get them to do the right thing?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.com
