...enforcement believes otherwise, and has charged the group with assisted suicide, evidence-tampering and racketeering. Authorities say the group broke the law by assisting with at least 130 suicides across the country and disposing of the helium tank and "exit hood" used to ensure a person inhales only that gas instead of oxygen. The authorities have also frozen the group's assets, effectively putting it out of commission. Four of the group's members - including its medical director, Dr. Lawrence Egbert, who lives in Baltimore - were charged last week in the death of a Georgia man in June. (See pictures...
Look under the hood of a bond called Jupiter High-Grade CDO V, and you can understand why we're in trouble. Bankers from the 1970s, when mortgage bonds first took off, would hardly recognize Jupiter. Unlike a traditional bond, Jupiter's underwriter does not buy people's mortgages, collect the payments and pass them on to its investors. Instead, Jupiter holds other mortgage bonds--and not just any. Jupiter's investments are made up of the riskiest portions of other bonds, some of which are themselves a collection of other poorly rated mortgage bonds. In a rising real estate...
...smile, that evil cancer stick dangling from his pretty mouth, coercing impressionable children everywhere to smoke.

I mean, the guy revolutionized conservatism, and did it with a smile. My guess...

One especially snarky USA Today columnist called the X Games the "Look Ma, No Hands Olympics," adding, "Apparently - and it's possible I'm misinterpreting a cultural trend here - if you strap your best friend to the hood of a '72 Ford Falcon, drive it over a cliff, juggle three babies and a chain saw on the way down and land safely while performing a handstand, they'll tape it, show it and call it a new sport...
Andy spent at least two years half believing that he was Robin Hood. In a green hat and a phony blond beard, he romped the woods with Little John, a Negro playmate named David ("Doo-Doo") Lawrence, and a band of merry youngsters. Sometimes they would swoop down on a wealthy noble, such as the grocery boy, and back in the forest they would picnic on robbed riches. Another childhood chum was Vincent T. ("Skootch") Talley, who, before he died this month, recalled that Andy's greatest thrill was a mock re-enactment of the battle of Brandywine...
