I hadn't even thought of that. You think the guys in the boat are the Others? Are they survivors from other crashes? I would suppose they live on another island, but where do they get the fuel for the boat? As far as the writers saying it would be a "Who shot J.R." moment, well... not quite. We all know that there will be no answer to the questions for a long time after season opener. The dynamite explosion killing Arzt caught me totally by surprise. I had a glass of water up to my mouth and was about to take a sip and boom! It clinked on my teeth and I sat there for a minute going . The pre-explosion discussion kind of gave a nod to some of the criticism of the show, that was actually laughing at until the explosion. Jack vs. Locke. "If we make it to tomorrow, we're going to have a Locke problem." I don't know anything about a connection with that bird. The Monster? Did anyone get a clear look at what it was? I don't know what I saw; it was like watching heat waves or the "Predator" invisiblity thing. The part where it breathed in the dynamite smoke, and was it killed? The thing drawing Locke into the hole looked and sounded like a chain, actually. But what was clear is that Locke went from that look of complete awe in that early ep to one of complete fear pretty damn quick. I think it's now safe to say that everything Danielle has said is wrong. Esp. the monster being a "secuirty system." I really need to see these again; probably have to wait for the DVDs. What is that? You think they lead to the same place?

Make it every week on Wed. The dough option on a breadmaker is awesome. You forgot, it's the FREEDOM. Half French-Canadian by heritage. Say what you want about the French-French of the past half-century (not of the WWI, where they were wiped out as we sat on our butts), they deserve it, but that's where quality bread was invented.

I think the point being made is that filibustering is not unconstitutional b/c the specific procedure for voting is not written in. Is it unconstitutional if they start the vote-count from Wyden to Akaka rather than Akaka to Wyden? It goes to the Senate Rules that govern the minutia of how a vote is conducted, which is not so much the Constitution. Inside of the S.R. is a provision for a filibuster. Both parties have spoken out of both sides of their mouths on the rightness/wrongness of filibustering judges. In the consideration of fairness, if they want this to end once and for all, have Bush renominate all of the 65 judges that were blocked in Clinton's term and remove the filibuster on votes for judges (not that it makes it fair, b/c there's a lot more Reps in there now) and then have a vote on Bush's current 10 that are being blocked, except that the slots would be filled by those 65. That, or leave things the way they are and quicherbellyachin'.

In the repeat of last Wed's ep that was on last night, I was watching the Jack-MRod scene in the airport bar and I was flashing back to the scene with Sawyer and Jack's father. If anyone has them Tivoed or on file, are they similar, especially in how the buyer of drinks asks, after learning the others' names what they're doing in a bar so early? Can't wait for tonight. Makin' French bread pizza from scratch.

There's your answer. After the 2nd round, it's rare-to-never that a rookie contract will even count toward the cap. Usually $400K and trickles down to $250K in the 7th. Rest assured (or not, as the air of many of your posts is reminiscent of JP-Era), the Bills are not doomed.

Kim Jong Il is still hungry and his minions need energy to goosestep. Maybe we can poison the carrots.

That's precisely what I thought when I saw that.... Are all of the 80s taken? After the cuts come, he'll have to take one.

Does his nephew Mike work there now as a turnstile at the entrance?

Did you see the Jessica Simpson/Nick Whatever USO special on ABC last night? She was on the range with an M-16 and swung it over as she turned around; the person next to her said "Whoa!" and had to brush it back downrange. Some people do not have total respect for firearms. My brother was her security escort when she did a tour in Afghanistan, I think it was in '02. He's got an autograph on Stuff or Maxim. I quote: "Nice T&A but there's nothing there. And she sings like crap."

I just love that this distraction is going into a second season. Wicky is just toying with them.

He got the news that he was being poisioned, and probably instantly thought of Bree. Especially how she delayed taking him to the hospital last week. Rex actually is/was a doctor, so it's not w/o question that he'd have a friend who might cover for him if he faked his own death. I didn't think of the Mike/Zach father/son connection until they were in the mine and he rushed off. He should've shot Paul. Question I've got is as an ex-felon, why didn't the police arrest him for gun possession when he "shot himself while cleaning [his] gun"? That's 5 years in prison, mandatory. "Sometimes, evil drives a minivan."

Change the uniforms to these and write in the contract that I get 10 percent of the profits from all jersey sales for life. Then go to Amsterdam.

You must not read the board very often. Thanks for the red herring. So what exactly does that mean; everyone else gets carte blanche to be a hypocrite?

I'd wager that, collectively, there's a lot more of these kinds of cases in small denominations across the country than in the entire Catholic Church.

I've almost never worn sunscreen, especially when doing heavy work during the summer. One of the few times I've ever gotten a sunburn was at the Ralph in early October(!) in '97 when they played the Lions.

Wow. I don't know about his 'homicide' accusation, but the last two sentences are accurate in today's Army PR machine. They thought they could conceal the truth with a Silver Star and they could put his face on recruiting posters. A lot of young people see the lies all around and are choosing not to serve. Memo: people don't like being lied to. FFS, I wouldn't say that Pat Tillman's sacrifice has been tarnished. This stuff reflects on the Army and their sh--head leadership from behind a desk --- not on Pat and the others who serve honorably.

Link. Fits right into the theory that like everything else on this planet, if you do/eat it either too much or too little, it'll give you cancer or be otherwise detrimental to your health.

And this is exactly what's starting to happen in Afghanistan with Karzi getting uppity and saying that he wants control over all American operations there. And in however many years we're in Iraq, that will be the spouting 30 seconds after the wheels of the last B-52 lift off their sh**-scented ground. Freedom's on the March tho.

Doesn't this mean that wine producers can just start shipping? The law was ruled unconstitutional/illegal in terms of interstate commerce. I would think it's immediately stricken from the books. How can a company verify age by Internet or mail tho? Are there services that do that? I'm a little miffed by that. They need to tread carefully b/c shipping to a minor can shut them down...

Actually, it was the bullets and beatings delivered by fellow Afghanis/Uzbeks that is responsible for killing those people. The photos of Saddam in his underwear published yesterday.... Pres. Bush said, "I don't think it's a photo that will cause people to murder." Now, replace the word 'photo' in that sentence with 'word.' If that's the sense he was trying to get at, I wholly agree with him. But, either he's going counter to what Scott McClellan and the rest of the media/PR circus is spouting about, or it's another case of "Do as I say, not as I do." Yet another example of the foot-in-mouth disease that's spreading so rapidly.

And then, the soldiers can starve to death when farmers refuse to provide them food; WE grew it; YOU can't eat it. Same for every other product and service necessary for survival. You think you're the end-all be-all, you'll quickly find out you aren't. This is the stupidest argument I've heard since.... Well, maybe this is the stupidest argument I've heard. Unfugginbelievable! ----- And back to the original subject, recruiters should be allowed just like X Tree Company should be allowed. But it's a pretty sh--ty deal when recruiters are so unethical that today, they had a "values stand-down" so they could all undergo training in proper procedure.

Something they really does need to change is all of the "He"s that describe the President. Does that mean only a man can be POTUS (but hey, it'd be a nice thing for if Hillary tried to run. Uhp! Sorry Mrs. Clinton! )? How that's managed to stay the same....

He was returning from the safari that he wasn't allowed to go on b/c he was in the wheelchair.

And I think that suspiciousness is mutual. She has experience w/ people who are doing the island's bidding. And to this point, I would mention Locke smiling while rocking the bloody cradle in Claire's dream. I would wager Rousseau will be protecting the baby.

<handclap for someone who gets it>. Name a president who hasn't had a judicial appointment blocked or seriously rangled by the other party(ies). The vast majority are approved, some are not. That's the nature of the beast. Not everything is meant to have complete compromise. The filibuster was created for a reason. If it's improper usage, there are consequences in elections. This is all about a looming battle over a SC nominee in the short term. Stupid reason to change the rules and compromise the checks-and-balances system. Funny how none of the justices, a few of them getting up there in age and in declining health (esp. Renquist), have shown an inkling of hanging up their robe. Maybe for their own reasons of wanting to stay on for a true lifetime appointment, maybe b/c they don't like the idea of who a likely successor will be....
