The Democrat Thread
Part of the problem, at least in Indiana, is that in order to take a guy to court for failure to pay child support, you have to file in the father's county of residence. Guys have become experts at living out of hotels and getting mail from PO Boxes in order to not be found. My wife has a friend who owes 12 years worth of support for two kids. She has spent thousands on lawyers and private investigators to try and track him down. If you just mandated from the start that the payments are automatically withheld from paychecks, it would be much more difficult (though of course still not impossible) to game the system.

You must not know many women who are continually getting stiffed on child support. It's not that simple.

The Lions did indeed hire Caldwell. Vegas over/under for 2014 wins for the rest of the division just went up.

Axe is back
Assuming that the Sox are out of contention by Sept. 1, Axe can be called up to help secure a higher draft pick.

I believe the "Law of Conservation of Masset" applies here.

I'm not talking about those without money. I'm talking about those making really good money and just simply refusing to send payments. States, at least in Indiana's case, don't do enough to take care of this. EDIT: Child support is by no means just a "ghetto" issue. Men of all income brackets are gaming the system to skip out on payments. In a lot of ways, it's a bigger problem at the higher incomes because the amounts being dodged are higher.

Cops is SoCal Acquitted of Murder
Should I be mad at every single cop in SoCal, or is there a specific case that you are referencing with some sort of link that might be helpful?

I think I'm going to sound extremely conservative yet fairly liberal at the same time here, but whatever. I don't think abortion should be legal for any reason other than the endangerment of the mother's life after 12 weeks. I also think that there should not be any "opt-out" period for men. You stick it in there, you are responsible for the result, whatever the woman chooses. I also think that states are far too lax in enforcing child support payments. Don't even bother making the man (or woman in the extreme minority of cases) responsible for sending payments. It should come out of your paycheck, just like FICA and taxes. Massive fines for employers who knowingly skirt the rules.

Harrah's Joliet is a Caesars property, and if you go to totalrewards.com and login with your card number and PIN, you can get some pretty good rates on rooms as long as you aren't going during a high demand time. IP and Harrah's are both in the middle of the strip and are on the lower end of the strip's price range. EDIT: Just noticed that Imperial Palace has been renamed The Quad Resort and Casino. Not sure how that will impact prices.

1) Any specific area you are looking to stay? 2) Do you have a players card at any major casino chain?

Expectations: Jose Abreu
A bit annoying, maybe, but far from the most annoying shtick I've seen on a message board. On another board that I frequent, there is a guy whose avatar is an unshaven guy in a giant cowboy hat, he types in ALL CAPS, and nearly every word he types has the first few letters of the word replaced by an apostrophe, as if he is trying to portray a cowboy accent in print.

My wife is in school for Respiratory Therapy. 2014 is her clinical year. Between January 12 and December 14, she has clinical rotations every Tuesday and Thursday, with only one week off in March, two in May, and two in August. The week in March is the only one where our son is also not in school. There will be little if any traveling for me this year except to visit family. Whenever the next big trip happens, it will be to New England, so I can cross of five of the seven states I have yet to visit.

Observation of ND's current record and remaining schedule leads me to agree that they may not achieve the above .500 record required by the NIT.

If I were a reporter, questions I would ask Peyton Manning: "Where is Warren Buffet from?" "What's the largest city in Nebraska?" "Where do they play the College World Series?" "Where can I get some good mail order steaks?" "What do you call it when you play Texas Hold'em but get four cards instead of two?"

It's not that they don't trust their fans to buy tickets, but if you put them up for sale and they are unrestricted, SF fans can crowd out the SEA fans. Teams in all sports have been doing this for years, not sure why it's suddenly news now.

Lots of teams do that, and I don't have a problem with it.
