San Diegans love mixed martial arts – the promoter, the gym, the pros
Theres nothing I know better than to get the kids into the gym and out of trouble. This is one of the best cover stories I've ever read, and the quotes are each a pearl. Theres the error of not correcting that the Jones vs Henderson fight didn't go down, because Henderson was injured, but I would never have found that out in the first place were it not not for the Reader. I wouldn't have known to investigate. The story was and is a joy, and I believe it's completely true that MMA is amongst the safest of sports. It's certainly amongst the most challenging and thrilling. Thank you Reader, for bringing me the news, and thus exciting conversation that benefits me more than I can express in a few words. So thanks again, and keep it up. Keep up what you're doing, and God keep you close. I know I do:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_rrhKBBEhs&featur…— September 14, 2012 12:21 a.m.

Yeah, I hear you both. I'm in total agreement, because I can't fathom such a plan. That said, I'm unable to determine a man whose name rhymes with kitchenette's motive. The jury's out. I'll tell you this: Team One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4fDuCOa0jg— September 7, 2012 10:54 p.m.

The Bassinette Case A former Navy SEAL has written an unauthorized account of the raid on Osama Bin Laden called 'No Easy Day.' Mr. Matt Bassinette, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen, describes a version of events. Many questions arise from the publication. Among them: -Why did he do this? -Why did he choose to publish his account coming into th presidential election? -Is he motivated by money? -Who shall he rely on to provide protection in the case that he is prosecutedfor violating the law and breaking his word of secrecy? And finally - Why should his version of events be believed? It is unusual that a man would publish what he calls an autobiography under a pseudonym. It is unusual that such a book would appear without any apparent corroboration whatsoever. It is unusual that a former Navy SEAL would challenge military authority. Perhaps Mr. Bissinette believes he is above the code of conduct which circumscribes special forces operations. There is precedent for taking this opinion. 'No Easy Day' is an uncorroborated account of what went down. Therefore, it lacks journalistic credential. It has been published without being vetted, so that it's only claim to not providing juicy intelligence to adversaries lies in it's ambiguous format. Lawyers have no idea whether or not the account has been sanitized. We should admit that 'No Easy Day' lobs a bomb. We should admit that the publication of this de facto after action report to the public represents a straightforward challenge to military authority. We can presume that buyers of this book are interested in the salacious details. This is not a work of open intelligence, let us not masquearde it as such. Without better testimony, incidentally obtainable in the court of law, preliminary assumptions of motive include personal profit and self-aggrandizement. Mr. Bassinette is chargable with revealing special forces tactics and breaking his word.— September 5, 2012 11:32 p.m.

"Are you alright?" Evan heard Bingo say, in his dream. Then Evan just plain swam out into the dream itself. Starlight approached in his mind. A voice said When you see the starlight, many billions of light years have passed. What you see as time present, is but a small, fractional result of the occurence, and as eons have passed, it is just that, a light in the sky, noticed, unnoticed..............— July 14, 2012 9:30 p.m.

Evan went out like a light, but as he landed instinctively, his head bopped just a little bit- theres nothing like training people to get you through the rough spots he went to sleep, into a dream. Evan was swimming below an ocean, outfitted, yet terrified. Above Bingo and he was a wall of debris- thick oil, various detritus, and huge objects floating by. The danger of attempting to surface was amplified by lightening strikes from the sky that illuminated the ocean surface, for it was night time.— July 14, 2012 9:16 p.m.

I shall not, under any circumstances, come under you command! shouted Johnny. I dont see where you have much choice said Evan, seated at one of two tables in the room. But if you do think so, the doors over there. Johnny told Anne, Go to work, and headed for the doorway. Evan sprang up, leapt over the table, in chase, and Anne intercepted him. Wham Her low kick hit Evan across his left knee. Evan twirled out of it, barely. Anne followed up with a basic, bread and butter snap kick to the same knee. It landed just as Evan was himself, well, landing. Ouch On one leg Evan will went to grab her by her collar, but the young black Army soldier ninja had already turned, and when Evan went to grab her she threw an elbow back at him. Evan bought the farm on that one. He went to block it just as Anne whirled and hit him right in his mug, with everything plus the kitchen sink. Evan Will flew off his feet, and fell, unconscious. His last split second thought was I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Bingo, his partner, a Force Recon Marine was looking at it all. He knew Evan would never hit a woman, but damn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i0VmuIhrQA— July 12, 2012 10:24 p.m.

Evan Will looked at young Johnny, and said "That's very amusing. We're going to change the teammates, now, and you'll come under my command." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDh_hzNh_Vc— July 11, 2012 1:39 p.m.

Johnny leapt up, furiously, and cried "If there is anyone that will be leaving, it will be you Mr.Will!" "Kid, don't call me mister." "Nor shall I be lectured on appropriate etiquette, least of all by the likes of you!" rejoined young Johnny, who noting Evan's look of derision, turned toward Ann, and said "Ann, what do you call a sun burned SEAL?" "I don't know, what?" replied Ann, with just enough interested querulousness in her voice to make Johnny think to himself 'I'll get him right now. I'm on a roll.' "A toasty loco." There was dead silence in the room. Bingo was rubbing his eyebrows. "Tough crowd- what do you call a thin skinned SEAL?" said Johnny. "What?" replied Ann, a little breathlessly. "A frog." Dilbert smiled and nodded- good one that. "Why did the fat SEAL jump in the water?" "Why?" asked Evan quietly. "To whet his appetite." Ann had to laugh at that one. Johnny raised a finger as if in admonition, and asked "What do you NOT call a fat SEAL?" No answer. "Late to dinner." answered Johnny with a light wave of his hand. Johnny was a Navy Annapolis.— July 6, 2012 3:02 a.m.
