I must confess I finally listened to the Rush interview with Hannity (on youtube). Funny stuff. Rush has clearly become a caricature of himself. Normally, I don't listen to any talk radio, especially political talk, so perhaps I'm missing a lot. The problem with Rush that he and so many people that like him don't seem to get is that his views and rants have become so marginalized that they're essentially pointless. Yes, he and I'm sure others will point to his shows ratings (I assume they're really good?) as proof of how influential his views are. But, what's forgotten is that those 10million(?) listeners are not only just a small portion of the people that vote, but they're also probably 99% comprised of people that would vote Republican regardless of who was running. So, yes, his radio show is probably great for ratings and advertising money and pays him a nice salary. But, as far as influencing anyone? I just can't imagine any "moderate" or "on the fence" voter listening to that and being swayed. Perhaps I'm wrong, but man that was some of the best comedy I've heard in a while. I really liked how he said Bush intentionally sacrificed his public approval ratings to do what was right. Just as a slight aside: why do they give Bush credit for preventing terrorist attacks in America since there have been none since 2001; but Clinton doesn't get credit for preventing additional terrorist attacks in America after the 1993 WTC bombing? Entertaining stuff.

Maybe he was invited?

Hamdan Rocks!!

A little anesthesia and it's a simple and quick procedure. Those guys would think it's just some new form of torture or something and just be glad it didn't involve water. Where's the evidence? It's all destroyed when the "bombs" land. Great plausible deniability... I like it. Bush ordered it. But we've decided in the interest of bi-partisanship that we're not investigating or looking into criminal charges. Obama has already said that. So, it all wraps neatly up. Good idea.

Details... details. That article was from 2003. The other was a patent application from 2007. Th technology has progressed. And those aren't even the top secret government developed units. Put it in their face. They never shave; therefore, they'll never see it. Or arm pit - no one's gettin too close to one of those guy's pits. Simple. The only thing I don't understand is why they're not doing this.

linkage 1 linkage 2 Red Dawn was clearly well ahead of its time. If the government doesn't have this stuff perfected by now, they're wasting your tax dollars. The device is painless and under the skin, it can't be seen. So, they don't know they've been lo-jacked. Again, simple... jack 'em, release 'em, track 'em back to the nest, one cellulose bomb from a drone. Clean and easy.

I can put a GPS chip in my dog. What's the difference?

I really don't understand why they don't put GPS implants in each of these guys, release them, and then blow up the training camps that they go back to. It seems so simple.

I always enjoy these Global Warming threads. But, I must say, this may be the best post in any of them. Excellence for you, good sir.

Good to know. My sister, just last winter, had to get Satellite internet. She lived in northern Idaho and no DSL or cable option was available. She almost lost her job because the internet was so much slower. I'm not sure of the details of her connection other than she paid extra for the supreme, best available option. Perhaps, its dependent on the area you're in which is highly likely. But, I'm still cautious over satellite internet due to the numerous friends/family poor experiences.

In many ways I would agree with you. But I have 2 problems. First, it's hard for us to know the overall FA plan this offseason. Perhaps, the Bills are going to really go after Peppers. I highly doubt it, but let's just assume for fun. If that were the case, I could understand trying to get a guy like Wade, but not "breaking the bank" to get him. So, on one hand, it's nice to see the FO trying AND trying in an area of weakness. However, you're right. It'd be nice to see them succeeding. I guess I'll just wait a few months before I give them the final offseason grade. Second, I really don't know that it matters who they bring in. This coaching staff has shown an impressive ability to consistently put players in the wrong place. So, regardless of who they break the bank for, will it really matter next season? I highly doubt it. It'd be nice to see some attitude guys come in in a few key positions. But, I'm confident they'll become content with trying hard by week 6.

It'd be nice to know the details of the Bills' offer before I agree with you and trash Brandon. Plus, you gotta imagine that Wade wants to rush the passer and not run away from the line of scrimmage as fast as he can hoping to tackle a WR.

Yeah, he was one of the friends that tried satellite internet. Actually, my house was moved onto the lot and they never ran a phone line. Not sure why. But we were the first to buy it and I said why get one. We both have cell phones and no one but telemarketers call the house. So no land line. Of course, I can't as easily get pay per view movies, but oh well.

If you're talking satellite internet, don't do it unless it's the only way to get online. It feels only slightly faster than dialup. My sister, my parents, and several friends have had satellite internet in the past and it was painful. As I recall, it still uses your phone line for uploads, so you get a huge bottleneck in speed. This was why I never got it at my house - I have no phone line. I've known several people to get it and they all said it was a huge waste of money.

Fitz now has more yards receiving in one postseason than any other WR, breaking Rice's record. So, in all fairness, I'm not sure any WR in the league could dominate a game like he did today. In fact, you could say that no WR in the history of the league has done what Fitz has done over the last 3 weeks.

Jauron-esque play there.

just Wow.

Leonhard's a beast! We need play makers like that.

If the Bills don't go into the offseason, preseason, and the regular season with Trent as the unquestioned starter, they better make a trade and get Peyton Manning here. Otherwise, I'll be starting one of those... I'm done with this team threads.

How are the Cards a joke? I'm really curious.

Close to PI. Great game though!

I was just thinking... why he wasn't considered more for Rookie of the Year. The guy is all over the place.

If you say so.

Wow. So here it is. The Eagles get one drive to tie it. How bad is that missed extra point now!

Who is that chick? Seems like it should be someone I should know.
