"...and the reason you're doing this instead of taking over the farm is what?" Jesse James Sanders had heard that question approximately seventeen thousands times in the last month or so. However, he couldn't react to it the way he wanted to because well, his mother was asking it. "Look Ma, I love ya', but I've already answered this a million times. Frank is at UK right now, taking the same classes I did. He's always loved the work of the farm more than I have. He was already up at five am most mornings while you had to do everything short of throwing cold water at me." At that, Willa Mae Sanders smiled for a moment. A small memory popped up in her mind. "Actually, there was that one time-" Jesse throws his hands up in mock surrender. "Don't remind me." Game face back on. "Anyway, look. This is a short-term contract. Three months. That's all. If I'm a complete failure, I'll be back here and you and Dad can take that trip to Mexico in the RV. If I'm a success and things work out right, we'll be able to hire people to take care of the farm." "I know, honey. It's just, this is such a dirty business you're getting into - I mean, everything that's gone on..." Sanders broadly smiles for a second. "Ma, I'm the same man I've always been. You've taught me well, a few months on the road with some degenerates won't change me. After all, I survived college, right?" "Who taught you to argue so well?" "You and Dad. Well, mostly you." "Don't you forget it. Now, I want you to be careful out there. You're a smart boy, but let's be honest here. There'll be some culture shock. I expect you to do some stupid things and I'm not even including getting in a ring with other large men who want to beat you up and leave ya' bloody. All I want ya' is to remember this - be a good man son, 'cause there's way too many of the bad." It was a cheesy line, but it was true. He'd been on Earth twenty-four years and he knew the truth of that statement, slightly sheltered existence and all. "Only thing I can be, Ma. Only thing I can be. Look, we only got a few more hours 'til we gotta' be on the road to the airport. I've gotta' finish packin' and everything. Can ya' make Mary Anne or Paula help me out?" At that, Willa shrugged her shoulders and chuckled. "That'll just make things take longer. It's already goin' to be like a funeral procession between the girls, their friends, your friends, and the rest of the whole country it seems like..." Her voice trails off for a second. "...anyway, you're a big boy now. Pack yourself." At that, she tosses the empty piece of luggage at Sanders who catches it. "Guess I should learn how to do this. Be sort of embarrassing for my clothes to spill out of my bag right outside of the arena."

Jebus, I'm a glutton for punishment... Smarks Board Name: jesse_ewiak Wrestlers Name: Jesse James Sanders Height: 6' 7" Weight: 268 lbs. Hometown: Lawerence, KS Age: 24 Face/Heel: White-meat babyface Looks: When looking at Sanders, the first impression that comes across ones mind is 'farmboy.' While Sanders is muscular and is a striking figure no matter where he is, it's a natural look, unlike say, a Bobby Lashley. From the top, Sanders has short brown hair and green eyes to go with the soft-ish face. At times, he has some stubble on his face, but usually realizes it just looks silly and shaves it before match. Wear typical early-20's male attire outside the ring and simple black tights to the ring. Nothing fancy here as he can't really afford it yet and it's not his style. Ring Entrance: The house lights dim across the arena as the blues-rock sounds of 'Blue on Black' by Kenny Wayne Shepard starts... Funyon stuff ...as the introductions are finished and the song is in full bore, Sanders comes out to a decent response from the SWF crowd. He has a small smile on his face as he comes to the ring, absent-mindely slapping hands but focused on the ring. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 7 (Um yeah...strong.) Speed: 3 (Normal bigger guy speed) Vitality: 6 (Still too young to effectively no-sell death, but can still take a beating.) Charisma:4 (Not too effective on the mic, but good in the ring.) Style: High end US pro style worker. Not good on the mat or in submissions, but a decent brawler and can throw around virtually anyone if need be. Signature moves: Spinebustah~ Release German Suplex Tombstone Piledriver Snap Powerslam Flying Shoulderblock Gutwrench Powerbomb 'Snake Eyes' -style Hotshot into the corner Spear - Usual way to reverse momentum in a match ROLLING ELBOW~! Common moves: Delayed vertical suplex Release belly-to-belly suplex Clubberin' forearms Big Boot Single Arm DDT Bulldog Reverse Neckbreaker Running Forearm Samoan Drop Pumphandle Slam Rare moves: K-Driller - Big PPV matches only Emerald Frosion - called 'Combine Special' - again, title and/or PPV matches only Big Plancha - Reasons for why it is rare obvious Finishers: 'Bleeding Kansas' - Fireman's Carry into a Brainbuster - Most people, not kicking out of this LARIAT~! - Well, not quite at Va'aiga level yet, still effective and can get a win if hit at the right time and situation. 'Outlaw's Curse' - Top-Rope Fisherman's Suplex into a Sit-Out Powerbomb. Do I have to explain this is something not to be used often - if at all? Notes: Couple of quick notes - Will not cheat, but will fight fire with fire - Not that experienced, so will try things before it's time too. (ie. signatures too early, etc.) - Quick learner though, so things don't work too often twice in a row. Bio: Born on a farm outside of Lawrence, Kansas, Jesse James "JJ" Sanders lived a typical farm-life existence for his childhood. A growth spurt in his junior year got him on the football team and as a result, he played well enough at Defensive End in his last two years of high school to get a football scholarship to the University of Kansas. However, in only his third game of his college career, he tore his MCL and ACL and was never the same again. Sanders finished his degree in Agriculture summa cum laude, but went back to the farm after graduating. After a few months of basically doing nothing, Sanders came upon an advertisement for a training school for wrestling in Topeka. In Topeka, the training school was a joke, but Sanders was a fast enough learner to catch on to things so he wouldn't look stupid. Now, after nearly two years of wrestling on the midwest independent scene, he was spotted at a show in Minnesota by a SWF scout (ie. friend of a friend of a friend of Tom Fleisher) and Sanders was given a tryout match. He impressed the collected road agents enough that he was given a (minimum) contract and after a month of internal training, was brought up to the 'Big Show.'

It was marketed wrong. It was sold as this serious adaptation of Ellroy's book when it's really an over-the-top psychological thriller that has an uneven story because it's DePalma. Also, the fact it's a fictional story based on a real case pisses some people of.

First time he won was the 1994 "Republican Revolution" year. In 2000, the DNC put up a weak candidate. In fact, the entire '94 campaign was scarily close to the movie 'Bob Roberts.' (Young, conservative, ultraconservative versus long-time liberal stalwart.)

Taxes are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. If you want the conservative dream of no taxes and gun control, Mogadishu is wonderful this time of the year.

Dean got a A rating from the NRA, had a balanced budget in Vermont, and by all accounts, aside from civil unions, was a moderate with a universal health care fetish. As a side note, the Republican Party is a bunch of Christian white guys. Have you looked at the makeup of the GOP lately?

Wait, wait, I thought all those people holding up liquor stores and joining gangs were Harvard MBA graduates. Are you trying to tell me they might be poor, uneducated, and with no prospects for a better life as a result of government at all levels giving up on inner cities?

It's still going to make a zillion dollars overseas and Tom Cruise probably made per day working on this movie that most people make in their lifetimes and in theory is fucking Katie Holmes, so he still wins.

Giimick posters like neocon are funny because ya' know they're being goofy and over-the-top. Even conservatives like kkk are at least reasonable in their Bushhitletism. :-) But then their are psychopathic fucks like Marney...

You're ignoring the HUGE differences between Kosovo and Iraq. At last count, about 2500 differences.

AFAIK, no one at the White House did the hiring. Colbert mentioned the guys name, he works for the AP and is in charge of the whole dinner. The thing is, the reason why the Press Corps went all pissy on him? Simple. They're power groupies. They love power and politics are second. I mean, look, Jon Stewart went after Crossfire like a boxer. Which is why he's unlikely to host such an event any time soon. He's nice enough to Republicans, defusing them with earnest humor, genuinely interested in their loopy argument. I doubt he's actually angry at pols. However, Stewaer's humor is more sly than ironic. He can listen well, but he can't hide his contempt. Which is why Tucker Carlson was left gasping for air. He got knocked around for twelve rounds and lost badly. Colbert is a different sort of person. He's from South Carolina and TDS was his big break. As a result, he's far more familiar with the world of true believer Republicans than most comics, especially Stewart, who after all is from Jersey. So he can fake that creepy enthusiam of blind loyalty because he knows it. However, below that is real anger. Stewart managed to host the Oscars and not piss off the room, despite the ability to do so. Colbert hosted the White House Correspondent's Dinner and pissed off the entire crowd and loved it. After all, Washington likes political humor lame. They want court jesters, not people playing for keeps. Which Colbert was. The fact was that his great offense was not in attacking the President. Bush can get pissy at the drop of a hat. It was turning on the media. Thye self-image of Washington reporters is that of heroes who are protecting the nation from the evil politicians. They are deeply offended when people suggest otherwise. Colbert called them cowards and suckups and that hurt. They aren't used to being attacked so directly, so indirectly. He didn't rant, but he sure showed his utter and complete contempt for these people. Colbert could have just tossed some nasty comments at them, but that would have been artless. Instead, he took Bush's favorite form of communication, over-the-top praise, and turned it on them. They never knew what hit 'em. Sure, Stewart can be brutally confrontational when he chooses, Colbert does it in a different way, a much more humiliating way. Instead of coming out swinging, he uses obsequiousness to shame you, to point out your flaws and errors in a way which people cannot miss. When you get beat by Stewart, you know you've had your ass kicked. There's blood on the floor, and he still looks pissed. When you get beat by Colbert, and he beat that room, you know something bad happened, but he's got a smile on his face and you hurt bad, but aren't sure why.

That's a corporate shareholder site. So, I doubt it's lying as Vince didn't enjoy the last time the government got involved in his business and the SEC is just as bad. Not that I'm saying it isn't possible, as Vince is insane.

You guys are aware that their have been multiple studies saying nearly one hundred percent of third generation Latino immigrants speak English as a first language?

Err...Exhibit A: One Rocky Maivia. :-)

As far as finding the fed goes, I found TSM, then I found the board, then I found the SWF section, then I lurked for a while, joined, and sucked. :-)

Actually, the bloggers/Freepers of the GOP hate Frist because they see him as an ineffectual leader who hasn't ya' know, banned liberals yet. Also, the fact is that as a Senate Majority Leader, he does both suck and blow. Plus, he's already running for President, which will not end well for him, as Mr. Catkiller will either get run over in the primaries or get killed in the general. As for the midterms, they're base elections. Which is why the GOP is trying this, because as a 'winger said on another board said, "I'll vote for who they tell me." This was in regards to a McCain nomination, but it's basically the same thing. The question is, will this save them in November? Honestly, I think the Democrats are going to win the House and it's going to really tight in the Senate.

It's October. It's early in the morning. Light is just peeking over the horizon, but a eleganty-styled backyard can be made out. What can also be made out is a man sitting in that yard, cross-legged on the grass. It is seen that this is the former Fallen Angel himself, David Cross. There is simple stillness for a moment, then a sliding door can be heard opening... "...David? David? David!" cries a woman's voice as she comes out of the house, which we now see the back of. Nothing overextravagant, but not a shanty either. A cursory glance would first center in on the fact that she's wearing a snow-white kimono, which stands in contrast to her chocolate skin. Yup, it's Rashelle Moore. The former manager/siginfigant other of Sean David taps the former SWF tag champ shoulder and hands him a cell phone. "He said his name was Terry," she says as he takes the phone. "Wouldn't tell me anything else." "Yeah, he would do that," replies Cross as he stands up and puts the phone to his ear. "I'll be a few out here. I think it's your turn for breakfast, right?" At that, the granite face of Cross cracks for a moment and he smirks. Moore just shakes her head for a moment, and turns away. "Sorry 'bout that," Cross says into the phone, the stone visage back. "So, where are we?" The big man listens for a moment and then replies, "Are we sure about this? I know how business and politics are more incestous than a West Virginia coal mining town, but do we have proof?" Another moment of silence. "Well, I know no definite proof. I realize how that works. But, is there enough for us to know?" He listens again. "Good. E-Mail me the particulars at the normal place with the normal encryption. I owe ya' one for this Terry. Next time in Tokyo I'll buy ya' a drink." Cross then hangs up the phone and sticks it in his pocket. He then simply looks around the yard for a moment, then sighs. "Calm before the storm, right?" he asks no one in particular, then heads back into the house.

Obviously, that should say post-Lockdown/pre-Smarkdown.

Backstage, the camera eyes the former Fallen Angel watching the end of the Davis/Stephens match. He rewinds for a moment, and eyes the end with an intense look. Then, he grins for a moment. It's just for a moment. Then he speaks, unaware of the camera, at least as much as you can be when at a SWF event. "This resets the chessboard a bit." Beat. "Plan B? Nah. Plan C? Too forward. When in doubt, go with the classics. A little surprise at Lockdown." Fade to a promo for Battleground.

Yes, because God knows a story about a bunch of _white_ college kids allegedly raping a _black_ woman would never get the attention of the media without those uppity minorities.

Ya' know, for all the fact it's a good show, sometimes I hate CSI. Why? Because I hated the way they simplified cases. However, I do get the feeling that the DA was expecting a lack of DNA. It's not that common. The case in New York with the bouncer and dead graduate student lacks semen as well. It doesn't lessen the sexual torture and murder she suffered. Plus, I fail to see how pictures of a beaten stripper does your clients a favor. Also, you check dubious people harder than 'normal' people. Even if they had a metric ton of DNA, the woman was a stripper and making this case with the science alone wasn't going to happen. They would have neat college kids and a single mom stripper. But the thing is, we're all somewhat CSI trained to expect scientist cops to arrest the suspects and do work in space age labs. That of course bears zero resemblence to reality. But I do think some people do realize how hard a hurdle this girl had to jump through. The assumption is that as a sex worker, she is a shady person, maybe a drug user and unreliable. Prone to exaguration and lying. In short, someone inclined to lie about rape and many other things. Maybe if she was a Duke student, a cheerleader, pretty and blonde, a lie might gain some traction, but a black single mom stripper? And she left $400 behind? All she had to do was go to the cops if they didn't give the money back, or report it to the school. Anyone who works that hard for money, with a kid, isn't leaving $400 behind under any but the most dire circumstances. After all, it's not like she strolled into the Durham PD with a lawyer. This happened is a hospital. In addition, in theory, the team would have had every reason to come forward and say "this woman wasn't touched in our house and we have eighteen billion number witnesses." They would've not gone conspiratorial. Girlfriends would have sworn these were good guys. The coach would have defended them and not been fired by the school. Sure, the DA would have liked DNA evidence. Of course. It would have been serious leverage, but he had to have a much stronger case than that. Because this woman's life will be fodder for the defense. They will find her baby's daddy, former clients, neighbors. After all, the parents are desperate beyond words for this to end. Their kids futures are on the line. The obvious joke is that the Duke Class of 2007 to Iraq. Well, they certainly will spend every last dime to keep them out of a North Carolina prison where they would be targets for the prison gangs. The parents desperation here, to save their smart, well-groomed children, will make this case very, no extremely ugly. The DA knows the united front is going to end and people will turn on each other to save their own asses and has a very good idea, which he isn't sharing, of who he's looking at. The one thing I believe is that if the DA didn't have a case, he would not play games, the racial issues are too serious. He would meet with black officials and tell them straight up. Their silence is telling as well. If they thought this was over, they'd be screaming. This cuts too close to the bone for too many black people and plays into too much history.

Well, the last time Jack thought Kim was dead, he went into Drazen's lair armed with only a handgun and proceded to eliminate most of the Serbian terrorist population. :-)

I think Hugh Hewitt was wrong on this one... http://hughhewitt.com/archives/2005/09/25-...dex.php#a000292 Oops. But yeah, DeLay was just the head cockroach of those feasting off the American people.

So yeah, my match sucked. Really, I can write. Just have to get back into the groove and out of the groove of starting these things five hours before they're due.

Well, that didn't work. Any other ideas kids? (Yes, I talked to JJ first.)
