| Conan Misses McDreamy Just As Much As We Do
Patrick Dempsey looked perfectly put together yesterday after a trip to the gym in LA but it's not as much fun as seeing him in his scrubs. Turns out that we're not the only ones missing our weekly doses of Dempsey. Conan O'Brien wrote in his strike journal that, with all of his free time these days he tried to read a book but got sidetracked because he was, "wondering if Meredith and McDreamy will ever work things out. They're so right for each other and yet so wrong." We couldn't agree more with Conan on that one and considering he's been chugging along without writers on his own show for weeks, at least he's there to help us fill the gap before Grey's returns. .
Unstoppable Obama
We, perhaps white people especially, look to him for atonement and redemption. All of us, of whatever race, want a fresh start. That's what "change" means right now: Get us out of here!

Advanced Technologies Key to Meeting Increased Demand for Grain
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Speaking at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Outlook Forum, DuPont Vice President and General Manager and Pioneer Hi-Bred President Paul Schickler said advanced technologies will be key for further corn and soybean yield improvement over the next 10 years. "It is an incredible time for the agricultural economy as demand for food, feed, fuel and materials -- all of which can be produced through agriculture - - have increased," Schickler said. "We expect the traits and technologies in our product pipeline to help meet that demand by doubling the rate of genetic gain -- targeting a 40 percent yield increase in our corn and soybean products over the next 10 years." Schickler explained that the corn yield increase will come from a convergence of elite germplasm, proprietary Accelerated Yield Technology(TM) (AYT(TM)), the new Optimum(R) AcreMax(TM) insect control system and key agronomic traits such as drought tolerance and nitrogen use efficiency.
Breaking political news in Rolling Stone
I think the only voices on this board that are in favor of shotz's petty spat with the good Gov. are schotz's himself. all the posts that faovr schotz are very similiar. what does schotz just sit and post on this board all day long to protect his damaged rep.? " Hey Lorenzo - nice spin, but we all know that Mike Huckabee's freaky FOX Network-worshipping NeoNazi Republicans are hard at work polluting this page with all pro-Fuckabee/anti-Scholz propaganda. If you thought about it, wouldn't most musicians side with a musician and not some ex-tub-of-shit right wing fanatic? .
Have many Christians been getting it wrong?
Hijacking. TM fails to prove his point here, and so he resorts to a "thread-herring" argument. Let's keep it on the relevant thread please. Mastersofdeceit already owns that one anyway, and comprehensively so to boot. If you're so old and experienced, why to you resort to the most juvenile tactics? .
