The article is about TIGERS mauling a trainer, so why did you say say anything about LION taming being a dangerous business? I certainly hope Eli knows the difference between lions and tigers.

Otherwise the clockworks gum up.

Except for the forced uncompensated overtime, the Amazon complaints sound like every warehouse job in the world, including my first job. Warehouse work is hard work. But ya know, if they didn't cheat 'em on the OT, there are one whole hell of a lot of people in this country who'd love to have one of those $11/hour warehouse jobs, even with the 7-day workweek.

i had no idea obama was going to go the way of regan's biggest faults. way to go, mr change.

regarding beck and gold. i do not think the price of gold is going up because of glen beck or the panic he insights. this is all false. the price of gold is going up because of irresponsible spending and irresponsible borrowing. our money might as well say "made in china"
