No need for translation. Somethings are best left to the imagination. ;) I'm trying to get my head wrapped around a "nipple 69" Why do I have goosebumps?

Un freakin believable WG!!! Better than anyone could have possibly expected. While a soundtrack would have enhanced it a bit, the visuals were more than enough for me...And yes, it was wonderful to notice that the suckee as it were, couldn't get enough, just like the guy getting sucked. You could almost feel the intensity. And me, sitting here all freshly showered, well that didn't last long. Now I shall retreat for another nice warm shower, and a cup of espresso, as I further contemplate what the "Doc" could have possibly done to make him a bad boy. I am warmly reminded of a story from a few decades ago. I went to my HMO for a nagging back pain. I was young and cute at the time, but terribly shy and a bit naive. When the doctor came in, he was 40 something, killer body and a bit of a muscle boy. During the exam he became very flirtatious and during the course of the conversation and exam, he invited me to his vacation home on Fire Island. It all seemed a bit much for me to take in at the time, so I declined, but every time Funguy posts, I think about that day. Oh what might have been. This has been one helluva morning....

Oh yeah WG, that's the money shot....damn. Now you got me all worked up, just as I'm trying to pull myself together for the gym. Looks like I'll have to take a steam afterwards. And this one, it's the little things that make a scene. I could be mistaken, but just as the guy grabs his nipple, he grabs the sheet and I think he screams "Oh shit" as he flings himself back on the bed....(sigh)......I anxiously await the next addendum. I PROMISE TO BE GOOD WG!!!

Aaahhh...the further down I went, the better it got, of course that's how it is with most men. http://37.media.tumblr.com/c3ef802f8f1d57796af08fb71e09e3df/tumblr_n8sy3u2IVK1r65x3eo1_500.gif This is the money shot!! http://37.media.tumblr.com/862f74d573e1c7daf6433fa22e4044ff/tumblr_n7jd4wIPte1rj4gt8o1_250.gif

This would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. My best friends brother was killed a number of years ago on the west coast by a cop. A neighbor called the police to complain about a possible break in next door. When the police arrived, the brother had gone out to the garage which was separate from the house, to get something from his car. The yard was dark, and he was in his underwear, no shoes or shirt. The cop thought he was the prowler, and emptied his revolver on the kid. At the trial, it was revealed that the cop had a history of violations involving arrests and one previous shooting. This was the second time he had done something like this. The verdict came back not guilty. Lives were forever changed that day. My friends father was never the same after that. He just checked out of life. This sort of thing deeply impacts everyone connected. http://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/657544/453575456.0.jpg

Let's assume for a moment that the story is correct, and that Wilson was hit by Michael Brown, though the autopsy revealed that Brown did not have any injuries that would indicate that he struggled with Wilson. Consider that officer Wilson had years of experience. He is professionally trained to handle situations like the one that he was involved in. Most officers carry with them, in addition to their standard issue gun, a secondary pistol that is hidden, a shot gun, taser, mace, police baton, handcuffs, police flashlight, a knife, and a police radio, where he could call for back up. He also was in police vehicle ( where he could retreat for protection). OK let's assume that Michael Brown hit him, so Wilson's response, with all his professional training, and years of experience, is not to use his baton, taser, mace, handcuffs, knife or retreat to his car to call for backup, but instead he pulls his weapon and shoots the kid six times, maybe more accord to the autopsy, and twice in the head. Your going to have a hard time convincing me that he handled this the best way he could have. It's his job, it's what he was trained to do. True or not, there are witnesses that said that Michael Brown had his hands up, in an attempt to surrender. For sake of argument, let's assume the Brown hit Wilson, then decided that surrendering was the best option for him. It was officer Wilson who held all the cards. There are at least a half a dozen different things he could have done besides shooting his weapon. We don't know all the details yet, partly because the only other eyewitness on the scene was not interviewed. He spoke to the news media, but law enforcement declined to take his statement. Finally, days after the incident, he finally has appointments with the FBI, and local authorities, but only at the urging of the attorneys for the family of Michael Brown. And lastly, there is this..... http://6abc.com/news/pathologist-brown-may-have-had-his-hands-raised/267835/

Almost week into this, and the one eyewitness, the third person at the scene, had not been interviewed yet. He's been interviewed by reporters, but not the FBI or any law enforcement agency. The lawyers for the family have been insisting that he be interviewed. They have appointments set with the FBI, but no interviews yet. BTW, according to RM, his story is consistent every time he tells it. Seems to me, that is one of the first persons that should have been interviewed, and a statement taken.

OR it may indict him, either way, you are correct, "keeping it under covers does not serve that goal."

Well I respectfully disagree of course, but appreciate you posting your viewpoint nonetheless, and have read them with interest. There are many side to this issue, and I often see only the side that mirrors my life's experiences. I had a lengthy discussion last night with a friend, who not surprisingly sides squarely with the police. He was unconvincing to me, but made some compelling points, which I could not ignore, nor disagree completely with. At any rate, how all of this shakes out will be fascinating to observe. All the best.

I revisited Maddow's broadcast as well as reading your post several times, and to be honest I don't think your analogy is accurate nor applicable in this instance. They were not "her" statistics she was citing to begin with, but rather those from the state of MO. Statistics in my opinion are not at issue. I think it is fair to say that there are issues in Ferguson, and if you listen carefully to her broadcast, some outrageous behavior was going on by the police, and have been for too long. If we are to believe that, statistics aside, why not try and fix the problem? There is racial disparity and not acting on that information doesn't fix it, it only exacerbates it. As she points out from one observer on the street, "You have to understand the frustration," and I think that is the greater message that Maddow was trying to speak to. We do disagree then, and that's OK, as it often brings about a healthy discussion of varying viewpoints. I did not however, find her statements inflammatory, nor weak. Not everyone sees this problem to the extent that it has permeated many of the black neighborhoods in this country, except if you happened to be black and actually living in one of those neighborhoods, and now in Ferguson we have a child who is dead, who was unarmed and shot six times. In my opinion, that should be our focus.

I'm curious why you think her statistics were poorly analyzed. I'm a fan, but that does not mean I could find her without fault.

Deej is correct here. It seems to me Unicorn that you have already taken sides. Ignoring, dismissing national data does not mean that data is not valid, nor meaningful, and from where I sit, using yourself as an example is terribly naive. Can you remember the last time a police officer stopped you for jaywalking? Long before any trial begins, they will attempt to crucify Michael Brown's character, just as they did Trayvon Martin's. I'm not excusing what Michael Brown did, but let's remember, he was not stopped for the crime that he committed earlier. The officer knew nothing of the altercation at the convenience store.

Well progress is being made...finally! http://news.yahoo.com/ferguson-gov-jay-nixon-arrests-violence-132434916.html

Agreed, and also premature, since we have not heard from officer Wilson, however if you are also willing to admit that racial profiling exists, then should not that be part of the discussion also? Given what we do know of the problems in Ferguson, from the mouths of those that actually live there, It would be naive and irresponsible in my opinion, not to at least have a conversation about it. As in Trayvon Martin's case, it was not something that people were comfortable talking about, but necessary nonetheless. At least RM is having that conversation.

I'm confused as well armadillo. There are too many problems in Ferguson, and too many opinions to formulate a clear understanding of what happened at the moment the match was lit. Yes it's a racial tinderbox, and many of the problems are decades old, but it is a nation wide problem as well. I don't think one can properly analyze the situation without considering the city's history. In the end, sadly a young man is dead, and if we learned nothing from the Trayvon Martin case, we should have learned to reserve opinion until there is a trial, and all the evidence comes in. There will be plenty of blame to go around, lots of finger pointing, and in the end, I rather suspect that the those officials who were most responsible, failed the citizens of Ferguson on a multitude of levels. I don't think there is one clear answer here. For now, my prayers go out to the young mans family that lost their son, regardless of what he did at the convenience store, and prayers to the officer who went to work one day, and something went horribly wrong, and his life will forever be changed. http://news.yahoo.com/ferguson-shooting-whats-known-now-michael-brown-123335396.html And yes, by posting this I realize it is an opinion of sorts, but they are far from definitive.

Curious....Are members flying the Dreamliner, and do you think about recurring problems when you board. http://247wallst.com/aerospace-defense/2014/08/10/787-dreamliner-engine-fails-over-the-atlantic/

The Dutch are also beginning to speak openly about distancing themselves economically from Russia. I rather suspect however, like most things, that after the horror of this event fades from memory, nothing much will change. It is the way of the world.

I never read those. They are usually just filled with hate. I think sometimes as species, we are just flawed.

Finally some dignity.... The victims come home.... Franz Timmermans Minister of Foriegn affairs of the Netherlands gives an emotional speech from the UN. Heart wretching.

There is a price for a human life.... "Russia's economic importance to central Europe, is tempering it's leaders' responses to the jet crash" You could see this coming from day one.... http://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-crisis-shows-divisions-old-soviet-bloc-104610696.html

There are an infinite number of tragedies here. There will be plenty of time for finger pointing, and plenty of blame to go around. MH17 might have been in unrestricted air space, but why would you fly over, what the world is calling, a war zone? I don't know, plenty of time to sort out those answers, and in reality, those responsible, may never be brought to justice. For now, I think it would behoove us to think about those lives lost. As Starbuck indicates in his post, "Tragedy within Tragedy"....every single person on that plane had a story to tell, and a life worth living. The same day, Israel invaded the Gaza Strip. The news coming to us in 30 sec blips. I think sometimes we become numb to what is going on in the world, and politics all too often overshadows the human side of the equation. We might not be able to control what others think, say or do, but if the world would just pause for moment and digest what a horrific act this was, then maybe, just maybe, the world will get mad enough to slow the insanity of it all.

Sadly, it appears that the Malaysian airliner was shot down. Indeed it might be a game changer in the chess game with Putin, though I don't see much changing. BUT I fear that the politics will overshadow the human tragedy of it all. 295 lives lost, all for nothing....

Another Malaysian triple 7 just went down on the Ukraine and Russsian border. 295 souls on board. Prayers prayers prayers, to all involved. God bless them...

Happy 4th to you as well Marylander.... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e5qOGTPtyhw/ThOmByjwCsI/AAAAAAAAIdc/eCRPvfFvS4g/s1600/SexyFourthFlagHunk.jpg
