If true, and he returns to his unit, then the usual small subset of knee-jerk blowhard spam freepers owe him a huge apology for defamation and slander.



I agree.

What an intelligent comment.

I am so rich I actually have THREE buttons on my shirt cuffs.

blowing his top is an exaggeration. More accurate headline would be "Clinton gets blown".

Missah Pwezzident, John Kewwy iz a doo doo poopy head.

Check their training camps. If they have mock blown up Hummer's used to practice the palestinian art of "Jumping Up And Down On American Cars" then you know they are Palestinians.

Does anyone actually care what this joke of a commission is going to say??? A bunch of politicians are going to tell COPS, FIREFIGHTERS, and others how to do their jobs better? What a crock.

If you ask me, the commission should include cops, firefighters, FBI, CIA, first responders, and anyone else who can actually look back at the situation and use their own EXPERIENCE to judge how things might be done better next time.

Last thing I want is a suit telling a guy in the field what the heck his job is and how to do it.

Whoaaa!!

Ok, if you _really_ want me to pass out, tell me you're a conservative native Tallahassean....AND you're a professor.

Heheheh!

OMG, You mean that ther is another conservative in this liberal petri dish?!?

Yep, I'm in the Tally!

Somebody PLEASE caption this picture!!!!!

The EIB Photo Montage shows sKerry on his $6000 road bike with the following accessories:

-Gucci wicker bike basket
-DuPont "Purple Heart Purple" paint job
-a set of Pirelli 55/60-8 performance training wheel tires mounted on Lamborghini Cycling wheels
-Lewinski kneepads

$6000 road bikes do not typically come with training wheels.

Down here in the south, some angry, white, cross burning, SUV driving male would have saved 5 of the six from injury by brandishing and using his concealed weapon.

Thanks rock!!

Here is grey2k's website...I cringe as I copy and paste it:

http://www.grey2kusa.org/

While they are a non-profit group, they have paid employees and channel a lot of their resources into lobbying lawmakers to ban greyhound racing. If you'd like to donate to a group that actually places retired racers into homes, Here's a link to the group I volunteer with:

www.greyhoundadoption.org

Click on the Panhandle Haul fund. We are all volunteers, not paid. We PLACE dogs in homes when they are retired. Not waste money on stupid political stuff and try to deprive hard working people of their right to participate in a legal business. Our group hauled over 500 retired racers from the panhandle of Florida to adoption groups from SC to PA to OH.

Ten years ago, the garbage that Grey2K currently spews forth may have been true. But now days, the greys are treated well in most cases. There are bad apples in every crowd. And G2K goes out of there way to publicize these bad apples and paint the whole industry as such.

I have 3 retired racers, the joys of my life. I've actually been I(N a racing kennel, helped with turnouts, etc... You'd be hard pressed to find a G2K person who's even been to a track, much less behind the scenes. The dogs I've seen in the kennels are happy and well cared for.

If you abuse or mistreat a dog, he ain't gonna run fast. These dogs are athletes in the truest sense of the word. They run like the wind and must be in good condition to make money for their trainers. The health and well being of a trainer's hounds are in his best interest if he plans to stay in business.

G2K will tell you that tens of thousands of greys are killed each year. Not true. The number is more like 2 or 3 thousand. Of course, I think that 1 is too many. But, percentage wise, any dog would be lucky to be born a greyhound. G-d knows how many tens of thousands of shelter dogs are put down each year. A greyhound's odds of being placed into a home after retirement are much higher than many other dog's.

G2K is a propaganda machine.

If you want to donate to a local group, tell me where you are and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

Grey2K is a rabid anti racing group. They are the PETA's of the greyhound racing world. Do not believe a word they say!!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out...if these charges are actually true. Drugging a dog is a stupid thing to do. After each race, a urine sample is collected from the winning dog and another random dog and tested for the presence of performance enhancing drugs. Drugging a dog to win a race will always backfire because winning a race guarantees that your dog will be tested.

Many charges leveled by Grey2K in the past have turned out to be completely false or greatly exaggerated. Any trainer would be stupid to risk losing his kennel booking at a track and being banned from racing by the National Greyhound Association by giving his dog, of all things, cocaine.

Coke is waaaay too expensive, easily detectable, and oh yeah, merely possessing it will land you in the slammer.
