8. I don't think it always had that name
just happens to be so now. We just call it the round the island race. Just a fun day put for most - anyone can enter even small dingies. Its no big deal. At this rate they'll be posting every time he goes for a shit and a rub out.

Did you know that JP Morgan Chase own 28$ of BP ?

16. This ranks right up there with a great big GIANT "Who gives a fuck?"
Really.

Who gives a shit?

I am beginning to think that many DU'rs hold the opinion that corporate types like Hayward should just shoot themselves, regardless of their direct culpability.

Who gives a fuck if the guy goes out on a sailboat he co-owns.

The threads on this topic underscore why the right has so much ammo against us.

Who gives a fuck, really?

It isn't as if he is on board something like this fucking megayacht, barbecuing children.



Sheesh, there are most likely DU'rs that own sailboats bigger than the one he is sailing on.

You all need to lighten the fuck up a wee tad.
