The Josh Hamilton Story: Why Statistics, Achievements, and Awards Can't Always Measure Success - MidwestSportsFans.com - Zach Gropper - Josh Hamilton has evolved from a tainted figure and despicable waste of talent into a pure and influential role model. Sure, he’s had problems with substances, but he has put forth all the effort in the world to overcome them, and in turn has encouraged and inspired others, which his story has done and will continue to do. So the 4-HR game, the MVP Award, the immaculate statistics, and multi-million dollar contracts are not the story for Hamilton; they are merely nice details to the incredible series of events that makes up one of the best success stories of our generation.

Mitt Romney was an 'evil bullying supreme' says former classmate as presumptive nominee apologises for 'holding down gay taunt student and chopping off his hair' | Mail Online - One of Mitt Romney's high school classmates says that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was 'evil' in his younger years, and acted like he was a schoolboy gone mad 'like Lord Of The Flies'. The Romney camp was reeling after the revelations that he forcibly shaved the head of a high school classmate who was regularly taunted for being gay. The former governor of Massachusetts grabbed tearful John Lauber and hacked away with a pair of scissors because he thought his bleached blond hair was ‘wrong’. Mr Romney also supposedly mocked another student who was a closeted gay by shouting ‘Atta girl!’ when he tried to speak in class.
