After practice, he is almost always the first person Bill Belichick consults. On game day, he's in the press box with a headset on, running numbers, computing percentages and, some around the league insinuate, overseeing more insidious operations.

Another Conversaton with Crazy Carl - Politics Anyone?
We're geniuses. As always, this is an actual conversation between Carl and I:
Crazy Carl (12:50:57 PM): i'm so glad giuliani lost. he's probably the biggest doucheface on planet earth
Crazy Carl (12:51:24 PM): in the speech he gave announcing he was dropping out of the race... he said something like "i am proud of the positive campaign i ran"
Crazy Carl (12:51:53 PM): if by positive you mean bringing up the death of 4,000 americans every 10 seconds for your political gain, then you are correct.
Me (12:52:27 PM): ugh right?
Me (12:52:40 PM): didn't people notice from the beginning that no one from NY liked him?
Me (12:52:42 PM): isn't that a bad sign?
Me (12:52:46 PM): i don't even know why he ran...so stupid
Crazy Carl (12:52:49 PM): you would think.
Crazy Carl (12:52:58 PM): because he's an egotistical asshole thats why
Crazy Carl: Me (12:53:12 PM): sounds about right
Crazy Carl (12:53:32 PM): like, his own kids don't like him.
Crazy Carl (12:53:41 PM): if doesn't say something, i don't know what does.
Me (12:54:04 PM): right? lol
Crazy Carl (12:51:24 PM): in the speech he gave announcing he was dropping out of the race... he said something like "i am proud of the positive campaign i ran"
Crazy Carl (12:51:53 PM): if by positive you mean bringing up the death of 4,000 americans every 10 seconds for your political gain, then you are correct.
Me (12:52:27 PM): ugh right?
Me (12:52:40 PM): didn't people notice from the beginning that no one from NY liked him?
Me (12:52:42 PM): isn't that a bad sign?
Me (12:52:46 PM): i don't even know why he ran...so stupid
Crazy Carl (12:52:49 PM): you would think.
Crazy Carl (12:52:58 PM): because he's an egotistical asshole thats why
Me (12:53:12 PM): sounds about right
Crazy Carl (12:53:32 PM): like, his own kids don't like him.
Crazy Carl (12:53:41 PM): if doesn't say something, i don't know what does.
Me (12:54:04 PM): right? lol
Crazy Carl (12:54:28 PM): i'm not celebrating... but i'm glad he failed.
Me (12:55:10 PM): yea
Me (12:55:19 PM): i'm so sick of our politics though...everything is SO fucked up
Me (12:55:47 PM): the media feeds us 3 candidates on each side and basically chooses for us the winner on each side, then we get to choose from 2 people to be president. seems kinda dumb no?
Crazy Carl (12:56:21 PM): true
Me (12:56:22 PM): other thing that pisses me off....media only talks about 1) polls and 2) strategy. why not tell us what each candidate stands for, what their views are, etc. god forbit we know what we're getting ourselves into
Crazy Carl (12:57:10 PM): because the media claims viewers don't care about that.
Crazy Carl (12:57:29 PM): but its a vicious cycle because how would you know they didn't care if you never aired that in the first place.
Crazy Carl (12:58:22 PM): i personally think the whole primary system is moronic.
Crazy Carl (12:58:43 PM): they should have a national primary thats a direct election. the way it is now is pretty much stupid, and makes no sense.
Me (1:03:15 PM): exactly
Me (1:03:23 PM): although, it would be the same thing
Me (1:03:36 PM): how would the candidates get their names and views out there before the national primary?
Me (1:03:45 PM): it would be the same bullshit
Me (1:03:54 PM): media tells us what we want/need to know, and that's it
Me (1:04:13 PM): there's still such a small percentage of people who go online to look for themselves instead of just listening to whatever they're told
Crazy Carl (1:04:31 PM): which is sad
Me (1:05:43 PM): but that's the truth
Me (1:06:01 PM): maybe kucinich was the right candidate for 80% of the people out there, but they'd never know it cause most don't even know who he is!
Crazy Carl (1:06:11 PM): very very true
Me (1:07:02 PM): even of the top 3, edwards barely gets any airtime...it's just obama and hillary and they keep him in there to let people think that they're showing a wide variety of candidates. and on the republican side? i have a hard time believing that Mitt Romney is the choice of so many. Maybe if the had more choices he wouldn't even be up there.
Me (1:07:08 PM): I mean, that man is CRAZY
Me (1:07:22 PM): and Mike H? forget it...he'd destroy the whole country
Crazy Carl (1:07:27 PM): agreed.
Crazy Carl (1:07:37 PM): edwards actually dropped out this morning, so its a two person race
Me (1:08:04 PM): he did?!
Me (1:08:15 PM): i had no idea
Me (1:08:30 PM): great...2 person race...sounds like everyone's perfect candidate is available to choose from~!
Me (1:08:32 PM): so stupid
Crazy Carl (1:08:37 PM): hahahahah.
Me (1:10:14 PM): i hate politics
Crazy Carl (1:10:33 PM): i hate people
Me (1:10:52 PM): people hate you
Me (1:11:00 PM): do you think politics hates me?
Crazy Carl (1:11:06 PM): i don't know.
Crazy Carl (1:11:10 PM): people don't hate me.
Crazy Carl (1:11:14 PM): they despise me.
Me (1:11:17 PM): hm
Me (1:11:23 PM): i think it's a loathing actually
Crazy Carl (1:11:28 PM): you think so?
Crazy Carl (1:11:40 PM): i'm very scorched earth about my relationships with people.
Me (1:11:49 PM): i mean, me personally? of course not. a majority of the world's population? probably
Crazy Carl (1:12:07 PM): years ago, i stopped trying to get people to stay in my life if they didn't really want to.
Crazy Carl (1:12:16 PM): and i'm very happy with it
Crazy Carl (1:13:49 PM): i used to really care about people liking me. now i really don't give a fuck.
Crazy Carl (1:14:02 PM): and i feel so much happier this way
Me (1:19:01 PM): you used to care? really? damn, i can't wait to see what NOT caring looks like
Me (1:19:03 PM): HA! lol

The Pirates Can't Be Stopped
Ethan and I had first started talking over an untraceable prepaid phone...He eventually agrees to speak in person...He hands me a flash drive containing documents...He also pulls out a...sheet of paper bearing my name, the first five digits of my Social Security number, a few pictures...and addresses going back 10 years. "I had to check," he said.

The Law of the Garbage Truck
Someone just forwarded this to me in an email. Not sure where it came from but I thought I'd share it with my non existent readers:
How often do you let other people's nonsense change Your mood? Do you let a
bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, Or an insensitive employee ruin your
day? Unless you're the Terminator, for an instant you're probably set back
on your Heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly He/She
can get back his/her focus on what's important.
Thirteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a
York City
Here's what happened.
I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were
driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, A black car jumped out of a
parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,
skidded, And missed the other car's back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident,
Whipped his head around and he started cursing at us. My taxi
driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I
said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us
to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me what I Now call,
"The Law of the Garbage Truck."
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full
of frustration, Full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage
piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it
on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally.
You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did.
So this was it: The "Law of the Garbage Truck."
I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?
And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people:
At work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to
do it anymore."
I began to see garbage trucks. Like in the movie "The Sixth Sense," the
little boy said, "I see Dead People." Well, now "I see Garbage Trucks." I see the load they're
carrying.
I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don't make it a
personal thing;
I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on. One of my favorite
football players of all time, Walter Payton, Did this every day on the
Football field. He would jump up as quickly as he hit the ground after being
tackled. He never dwelled on a hit. Payton was ready to make the next play
his best.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.
Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home From school
with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully
present, And at their best for the people they care about.
The bottom line is that successful people Do not let Garbage Trucks take
over their day.
What about you?
What would happen in your life, starting today, If you let more garbage
trucks pass you by?
Here's my bet. You'll be happier. Life's too short to wake up in the morning
with regrets, so..
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance , TAKE IT!
If it changes your life , LET IT!
Nobody said it would be easy...
They just promised it would be worth it!

100 Greatest Quotes from fundamentalist christian chat rooms
This is so awesome and so scary at the same time (although, in my opinion, scary more than anything else).
Check out the reddit comments here.
here are some that i particularly liked:
"Gravity: Doesn't exist. If items of mass had any impact of others, then mountains should have people orbiting them. Or the space shuttle in space should have the astronauts orbiting it. Of course, that's just the tip of the gravity myth. Think about it. Scientists want us to believe that the sun has a gravitation pull strong enough to keep a planet like neptune or pluto in orbit, but then it's not strong enough to keep the moon in orbit? Why is that? What I believe is going on here is this: These objects in space have yet to receive mans touch, and thus have no sin to weigh them down. This isn't the case for earth, where we see the impact of transfered sin to material objects. The more sin, the heavier something is."
"I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don't think he's ready to date yet. What's worse is that he's sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!"
" [about a girl being born with mental disabilities]
This girl is like a leper so what she needs to do is try and find god
if she really believes she can be healed from this state, she will be healed from this state
Most afflictions like this are caused by sins committed while still inside the womb. If she can repent for what she does god will embrace her and make her as human as you or me but if she chooses not to she'll always be like this
god tests every one of us [emphasis added]"
" I can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie"
"A woman wants to abort a rape child? She should have thought of that before she walked down that dark alley without a male prescence, not to mention she should have thought before putting on revealing attire.
[Yes. It should (be legal). Otherwise you're screwing over the women who don't deserve their fate.]
Are you calling them victims now? Should've stayed in the house where it's safe."
Now, I'm Jewish so I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that this isn't what Jesus had in mind.
