Murderball - Rugby for Quadriplegics

By

I heard about this sport a couple years ago. It sounds very similar to Wheelchair Football, which I played in college. Like rugby, murderball is a little more violent than we played.

Anyhow, they made a documentary about the U.S. para Olympic team and it's in theaters now.

Murderball is currently playing in only a few cities, so I'm almost certain we won't get it around here. I've never traveled to another city for a movie, but I might make an exception.

By
My kids have a science test today. We've been studying rocks and minerals, erosion and weathering, and other science-y geology stuff all week.

Second Anniversary – The Puppy Anniversary. She’s been looking at you with those eyes that say she wants to start a family, but you just bought a new couch. Get her a puppy instead.
Third Anniversary – The Kinky Lingerie Anniversary. Leather, silk or lace can re-fire the engines after a year of flannel pajamas that smell like the puppy,…

As a citizen of the United States, I encourage you to revoke the invitation. Donald Trump does not represent the vast majority of the American people. As you have stated publicly, if the United States is not going to support science, you have offered US scientists the option of emigrating to France for the continuation of their studies on climate change.

Additionally, Donald Trump has made his nationalist and blatantly racist feelings known on multiple occasions, again something I know that you personally find offensive.

The majority of Americans would support the decision for France to revoke his invitation. Citizens of the United States need to take responsibility for removing their country from a position of influence on the world stage. Our previous president, Barack Obama, strived to be a …
