WALKERSVILLE, Md. - A Frederick County high school girls softball coach has been fired for hosting an end-of-season cookout at his Walkersville home where beer was served to other parents.

It was a cookout around Brad Young's backyard swimming pool on June 11 celebrating the end of a winning season.

"And one parent brought some beers to the party. A couple of people had those-- probably no more than five or six," said Young. "No kid was uncomfortable. No kid had access to it. No kid drank. No parent got more than probably one or two beers. I did not drink."

But another parent called the Frederick County School Board, which tells FOX 5, "The incident in question took place at what is considered an official team function."

And so Brad Young was fired and banned from coaching for three years.

fucking retarded

are you serious? I'm glad we have his dangerous ass out of the way so that we may have role model coaches like we had when i was in school. (That middle aged guy slept with all those 15 -18 year old girls)

teachers aren't teachers anymore, they can't be friends and they can't speak truthfully about anything, we are being controlled from such a young age

Notice the state in which this occurred.

Maryland, home of the HUPC, the monumentous taxes, and hypocritical back stabbing gov.

HUPC = hyper uber PC

Its funny how my teacher talks bad about Maryland because he is from there. He also actually praises the Tx government...

Business and Business Management has been my academic focus for the past 5 years; you can't imagine all the weird shit you learn along the way...everything from Sun Tzu & Machiavelli & Adam Smith to Bill Gates & Sam Walton to Enron & WorldCom & Tyco...

July 15 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama “strongly opposes” an effort in Congress to require General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC to restore relationships shed during bankruptcy proceedings, while stopping short of a veto threat.

The administration said today in a statement that “the decision by Chrysler and GM to rationalize their dealer networks was a critical part of their overall restructuring to achieve long-term viability in order to save jobs in the long run.”

The statement also said it would set a “dangerous precedent” to “intervene into a closed judicial bankruptcy proceeding on behalf of one particular group at this point.”

The House of Representatives is slated to vote tomorrow on a bill that would require the automakers to restore their franchise agreements as a condition of receiving federal aid. The plan, opposed by both GM and Chrysler, comes amid complaints from lawmakers that the carmakers terminated dealerships with little notice or explanation.

GM plans to shutter about 2,400 dealerships, said spokesman Greg Martin, Chrysler officials have said 789 dealerships were targeted for closing.

While the bill is likely to pass the House, it received a chilly response from the Senate’s top Democrat. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said yesterday that “when you have a bankruptcy, there are winners and losers.”

He also said “we’ll be happy to take a look at” the House proposal, “but it’s nothing that is certainly on top of the agenda in the Senate at this time.”

Obama actually making sense?! Inconceivable!

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and ma de reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with p eople who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-s pelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?

0A

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he is inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the=2 0national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 weeks -- so you'll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.

Obama, Cheney, Pelosi, Bush, Reid, Palin, McCain, Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, I hate them all equally

[MKader17 332]

Hey do you guys know the ethics/rules of selling parts you got discounted through a sponsorship. Last years team used some stuff that we won't need that we got for dirt cheap and even though it pretty much sucks, could be resold for much more. I just didn't know if that was unethical/illegal.

Depends on what you mean by sponsorship.

Either way the down low is your friend.

AN AMERICAN company has been forced to apologise after using a picture of murdered honeymooners Ben and Catherine Mullany in an online advertising campaign.

An image of the couple, who were shot dead in Antigua last summer, was used by the US firm MyDishBiz alongside in an area of its website featuring testimonials from satisfied customers.

The company last night apologised to the couple’s family, and said it had “not knowingly included the picture” on its site.

Indeed FDR was a joke. I'd vote for H. Hoover though if he were running right now.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I don't vote because I don't have faith in any politician. They are the problem. Nothing more than greedy business men to help other businessmen. All they are worried about is lining their pockets. The give not a shit about the country, nor the public unless they stand to gain something.

This country has long been a dumping ground for shit. Literally.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Went to check out a T-type today. What a piece of shit.

When you list something for sale as a "roller," it at the very least has to have the ability to roll. Rotors on top of cinder blocks aren't exactly ideal rolling conditions.
