I believe the liar not the “Titan”

This guy from Indiana just gave a good defense of Clemens, basically saying that his reputation shouldn’t be ruined without guilt beyond complete reason, which I’m sympathetic to, but his harrassment of McNamee over his previous lies was a little silly. He was hired to help Roger Clemens cheat, he was hired by Clemens to lie for him, and everything he says about trying to cover for the players and also covering his own ass is totally credible. That plus Pettitte’s anointment as Christ like seems to me to provide pretty clear evidence that Clemens is either lying to the Country or to himself.

Payoff for living a good life? I’m still looking

A convicted Level 3 sex offender has won $10 million in the Massachusetts State Lottery. . . He has been convicted six times of indecent assault and battery in Massachusetts. Level 3 offenders are considered the most dangerous and the most likely to commit another crime.

Well, at least I have peace of mind. Well, sort of.

Disgruntled: Can this word be saved?

disgruntled (adjective) in a state of sulky dissatisfaction

This poor word. It’s never used anymore minus at least ten dead fellow employees and a suicide.

I think this word has a valid defamation lawsuit against corporations that want you to think that disaffected employees are insane and not to be trusted. I’ve been disgruntled. I didn’t think anyone was in dire danger of being taken out suddenly if I had a bad day. I’m not saying that everybody I worked for agreed with that assessment, but I swear I was harmless other than the fact that I hated the way my employers were treating me.
