That is what my wife and former girlfriends always loved about me.

You may want to rethink what you said. For example, the Dutch are the leading experts in water management after having to deal with their own problems. It would be stupid to turn them down.

Check out the site then. P.S. I am at work now as well, but I have received several calls from family members who saw this.

Try watching the news. For example, it is on CNN's crawl. Also, check this out: Offers of help Also, check out the State Department's website.

Apparently, many of you guys were wrong. Countries from around the world are pledging their support.

The real estate agent from Toronto sounds like a real jerk.

We rank 24th? I did not realize that we have improved that much.

I saw that and thought the exact same thing. Thanks for pointing that out. It was a really classy move.

I would have thought the exact same thing.

ESPN the Mag is free with my Insider subscription. I have no complaints.

In ESPN the Mag, there was an article about Devon Hester (the kick returner, punt returner, CB, and WR for the Canes). If you have never seen this guy return a kick, you are in for a treat. Anyway, the article talked about how Hester may be the fastest Cane ever. Yet, it did say that there was one guy who clocked a better 40 time. As you probably have guessed from the topic title, it was Willis McGahee. Apparently, McGahee clocked a 4.25 and Hester clocked a 4.28 (if I remember correctly). That is smoking. I don't know if Willis still runs a 4.25, but if and when he does, look out. That combination of power and speed is amazing.

Two words: Brett Favre. He abused us on the opening drive. Whether that would have continued if he had not left the game, who knows. The guy is a future hall of famer and there is a reason for that. He showed why on the first series -- especially during the play that resulted in the TD.

The Karl Rove equivalent: "I didn't know her name, and didn't not leak her name." Other ridiculous ones from others: "I am against nation building." "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." "I have denied having an affair with Gennifer Flowers, and so has she." "I did not chop down the cherry tree." "Poland is not part of the Eastern block." (or words to that effect) "Iraqi oil revenue will pay for rebuilding Iraq." Some of the best statements: "Tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev." "I would compare Congress to a bunch of drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to the drunken sailors." "We do not have a trillion dollar deficit because we tax too much. We have a trillion dollar deficit because we spend too much." "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them -- this morning, as they prepared for their journey, and waved good-bye, and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." "How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And perhaps the best political statement: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

I did not get a chance to watch it, but I had a feeling that Dan Marino or someone else might mention Hunter. Did any of you see the HOF?

No. We need him.

I think that we are going to see a lot of production from him as both the slot receiver and on special teams.

I am sorry. You would have preferred that he shot at the guys. That was his mistake. P.S. The Bills did pretty well with a former Cane in Jim Kelly. Another former Cane, McGahee, looked pretty good in a Bills uniform last year. I suspect, the same thing is going to happen with RP and KE.

I do I sense a bit of jealousy. By the way, which Cane has ever gone to prison? The only Cane who is in a bit of trouble is Sean Taylor who shot a gun in the air when someone was trying to rob his car. Based on your numerous posts on guns, I would have thought that you would have given him an award for his actions.

I missed Cane fest this year. I am looking forward to going when my son is little bit older.

That is inane. You guys look at them with the same broad brush as they do us.

What was yours?

I just hope that this turns out to be an example of the Sabres being able to sign some quality players after the initial rush by other teams to overspend. We will be better able to evaluate what is happening in a couple of weeks. Nevertheless, as it stands now, we should not expect the Sabres to be any better than they were in the standings before the lockout. In my view, both Z and Satan are very well suited for the new rules. I can live with the loss of Satan, but the loss of Z really hurts. He eats up ice time and is very talented. We are not going to be able to replace him.

. . . so was the crew that saved 309 lives.

I could not say it better. The Sabres lost their most talented defenseman who logs the ice time of at least two players.

You are absolutely correct. I really miss Empire. RIP
