• South Carolina, better known as , has historically enjoyed a reputation as the New Jersey of the South. It was the first state to secede from the United States of America, fired the first shots of the American Civil War and prompted one South Carolina congressman to describe the state as "too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum."

    He added, "Also, Myrtle Beach is about as exciting as a used condom on the sidewalk." With that throwback baseball jerseys said, it was apparently at one time dangerous business to insult the state from the floor of the Senate. In 1856, Sen. Charles Sumner (R Mass.) delivered his legendary speech in protest of the Kansas Nebraska Act. Andrew Butler of South Carolina, whom Sumner had recently and hilariously made fun of on account of his ". has chosen a mistress who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight I mean, the harlot, Slavery." Butler looks like the kind of dude who would shack up with the physical embodiment of human bondage. Naturally, since just about everyone in South Carolina had Sen. Butler as their uncle, Sumner pissed off more than a few of Butler's nephews in the state's congressional delegation. Among them was congressman Preston Brooks, who approached fellow South Carolinian Rep. Laurence M. Keitt about dueling etiquette in their state. Instead, the gentlemen opted for the tried and true beat the shit out of an unarmed man approach that the Southern economy ran on. On May 22, Rep. Brooks, Rep. Keitt and a third Southerner who we imagine was Butler's nephew as well, confronted Sen. Sumner as he sat alone at his desk in the Senate. Brooks called Sumner's speech "a libel on South Carolina" and, of course, an insult to his uncle, and proceeded to beat the shit out of the man with a gold tipped cane while Rep. Keitt nobly used a pistol to keep people from helping him. The beating ended only after Brooks' cane broke in half, which we think may be on account of Sumner actually being a Terminator. Sumner had to spend three years in Pescadero State Hospital to recover from the attack, during which his Southern colleagues mocked him for not being able to take a piece of wood to the face like a man. As for Brooks, his asshole friends rewarded him with the finest canes a slave owning economy can afford as a sign of support. Seriously, people mailed him canes in the multitudes as a "sign of admiration." The Massachusetts General Court re elected Sumner in November 1856, while he was still in traction, just so he could return to the Senate in 1859. Although still suffering from what we now know to be PTSD on account of his caning, he nevertheless felt strong enough to make his first act back in office a speech called "The Barbarism of Slavery," which we imagine he delivered while giving the South Carolina delegation in both chambers of Congress both fingers. How any cane could break through that helmet of hair is a mystery. 2. Congressman Daniel E. Sickles Gets Congress to Commemorate a Murder He Committed In 1858, Philip Barton Key the son of the Star Spangled Banner guy began a not so secret affair with the saucy Italian wife of congressman Daniel E. Sickles received an anonymous tip on Feb. 26, 1859, that his wife was fooling around. After Teresa Dt5FW6a9x 'fessed up to the affair, Sickles spotted Key on a bench outside his home in Lafayette Square the next freaking day. After Key made a gesture to the congressman's wife that in some way conveyed his intentions to have sex with her again we're guessing the old in out with his fingers Rep. Sickles drew a pistol. In plain view of the city, in broad daylight and in front of the White House, he unloaded on Francis Scott Key's son until the man was . Note the fence behind wholesale jerseys china them. It will be important later. Sickles was charged with the public murder of the son of a national hero over a saucy belladonna, which resulted in nothing short of one the most star studded, entertaining and influential trials in American history. In the end, Sickles managed to pull one of the greatest Hail Marys in legal history by becoming the first person in the United States to plead temporary insanity, and holy shit . it worked! Although he murdered the son of a cultural icon, Sickles was eventually heralded as a hero for "saving all the ladies of Washington from this rogue named Key." He eventually forgave his wife, enlisted in the Union Army in the Civil War and famously lost his leg during a maneuver at the Battle of Gettysburg. Beating 350 enemies to death with his own leg was just the beginning. So where does Congress come in? Well, after the war, a redeemed Daniel E. House of Representatives. Now back in the chamber he'd had to leave after that whole "murder" thing, Sickles Then, in one of the most brazen and/or ballsiest moves ever attempted on Capitol Hill, Sickles passed a joint resolution on Oct. 12, 1888, donating to Gettysburg the very same fence from Lafayette Park, the one just feet from where he smoked his wife's lover cold. Was it a final "screw you" to Key, dallas cowboys jerseys cheap in some vain hope that screw yous could be received in the afterlife? We'll never know. But the Sickles Fence can still be found there today. Dude could have at least rinsed the blood off first. 1. House of Representatives on Feb. During an all nighter in which several congressmen were "quite visibly drunk," a Rep. Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania aimlessly wandered over to the Democratic side of the chamber, perhaps in search of a part of the room that wasn't spinning so much. There is a reason why Rep. Grow is not shown from the waist down in this picture. It was around this time that Rep. Grow crossed paths with the same Rep. Laurence Keitt who so embarrassed the nation during the Charles Sumner beating. Keitt woke up to Grow asking him if he could drive him to Sheetz, but instead Keitt got pissed and accused Grow of behaving like a "black Republican puppy." The gentleman from Pennsylvania replied: "No negro driver shall crack his whip over me," at which point Keitt made a jump for Grow's throat. Don't let the bow tie fool you. He's reaching for the spittoon in his shoulder holster. The speaker was virtually helpless to control the brawl, but perhaps realizing that there was more than one use for his gavel, he dispatched the sergeant at arms to the scene wielding the House mace. http://www.leapzipblog.com/blog/read/267444/california-lottery-winner-hits-it-rich/

  • The Buffalo Sabres frontline has been dormant in the past month or two until this past week when fresh air swooped through the Buffalo faithful as images were leaked revealing the new sweaters for the upcoming season. Last year third jersey and fan favorite has been moved to Buffalo main home jersey and the away gold and cheap nfl jerseys blue jersey reminds fans of the golden days in Sabres history with a new stylistic flair.

    The third jersey is the interesting topic. Most fans I spoken with are split on it. It brings an time feel to it, but also doesn them either. Judge for yourself photos of the jersey here: Sabres' Jerseys Leaked In other news, training camp is almost under way and our young guns are looking to make an impression on the coaching staff to make the big club this year. Ennis is basically guaranteed a spot after he proved to be the biggest contributor in a Sabre uniform wholesale jerseys china throughout last year's playoffs. Gerbe is yet again a bubble guy. Personally, I love to see the kid get a shot. He got a Napoleon complex and isn afraid of anyone on the ice. He hits more than Paul Gaustad yet we appoint him as a leader on the team (and pay him for it). The only way for Gerbe to get comfortable with the NHL is to have him experience it. Give the kid a try like we did for Kennedy and see where the numbers are at the end of the year. Although if that doesn happen, Dt5FW6a9x I sure injuries will force the situation anyway. On ice sessions are open to the public and begin this Saturday at 10:30am. It be an exciting time of year to see who really deserves a spot on the club. Buffalo Sabres Examiner As a youth, Richard played junior hockey for the Wheatfield Blades, competing against future Buffalo Sabres' players Patrick Kaleta, Tim Kennedy and Andrew Orpik. But he retired after a year to enroll at the University of Buffalo. While earning degrees in Communications and Media Study, he was offered an internship with the Sabres' Broadcast Department where he edited footage, worked with on air talent, and sat in during player interviews and management press wholesale jerseys conferences.

  • KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) With his large collection of baseball memorabilia gathering dust in a storage unit, former Kansas City Royals ace Bret Saberhagen decided to auction off his two Cy Young awards, 1985 World Series ring and MVP trophy and dozens of other items to raise money for his charity.
