Looks like it.

So, "not much hope" is equivalent to zero hope? Teri's cerebellum is filled with cerebral fluid from the spine! If they do reconnect the tube, they're very soon going to have to amputate her limbs to keep her blood closer to her heart for circulation purposes. She's not going to be waking up. Can you imagine the "What has no arms, no legs, and ...." jokes? You may call wanting Teri to die of natural causes like an infection and pulling her feeding tube crossing some kind of symbolic fence. It's more like trying to find a chalk line in your driveway after 15 years.

When this happened during the debates w/ Cheney's daughter, they were up in arms for Kerry's using her for political gain. No such outcry when its them doing the same damn thing. And you know, that other legislation, doesn't surprise me one bit. The opportune words are: if they can't pay. It's all about keeping money, money, money in the pockets of big business. That is what they've become and they're not going back. What surprises me are the shmucks who keep voting for them b/c they get a couple hundred bucks back in a tax return rather than fixing the entire system and keeping the govt from taking thousands from them in the first place. Dude, I used to be a Republican. The party left me behind in about 1990, and I stupidly kept supporting them until 1998. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate who better represents your opinions. I agree w/ about 30 percent of the GOP agenda (economic, but it's eroding more every day), but about 75-80 percent of the Dem. It's not about the Ted Kennedys of the party anymore. There's a reason why McCain is called a RINO.

Wow, that is a thorough workup. For the most part, it works out pretty favorably for TD and the $ he decides to shell out. It's also nice to have a good scouting department and the mindset to not be afraid to have rookies or inexperienced players as backups. Too many people here feel the need to sign expensive worldbeaters for all 53 roster spots. I do disagree with the assessment of Ron Edwards somewhat. His appearance was after Ted Washington left and his linemate was a relatively inexperienced Pat Williams. Then he's playing behind Sam Adams. It's hard to improve your game by leaps and bounds playing behind these guys but he has made big strides, pointing especially to the Cincy game this past season. Judging him is premature as the guy is still only 25. Look how long it took for Fat Pat to crack the lineup.

My consultation with Sherlock Holmes leaves me the impression that Rosen just wants to play Whoopee Cushion gags.

The '67 GTO, black, hard top, is my fantasy car. My father had one back in the day, said it'd pass everything but a Ford and a gas station.

The Bills are playing 16 games at the Ralph every year from now on? Sweet! </smartass>

Well last year, we were pretty hard up at Guard w/ Ruben's departure. And it's not like TD paid much more than was already being spent for sub-par play. I'm all for letting rookies develop by giving them playing time, but you do it like the Patriots, one at a time. You can't have both slots with de facto rookies. Ain't got that problem this season. Hence, no payday.

The interior will be addressed in the draft, for a lot less $, and developing under JM for a couple of years, more talent. If it's not, then Rudy and JP-era will have bitching rights.

More likely that s/he looked at the geography of which NFL cities are closest to major markets in Can and Mex (which is the stupidest way to go about it), and then looked at the ticket sales, going back quite a ways sufficient to prove a point. Yeah, in post-JK until '01, ticket sales at times weren't gangbusters. But they've sold out the last few seasons. Stupid trumping of a stupid storyline that gets reguritated every couple of years.

Actually, doctors who've studied this report that starving someone in that state does not cause physical pain. Not good enough for those Birkenstock-wearers who claim that if you record a plant's stem being cut, you can hear it screaming, but what can you say? I bet the next post says the husband is a terrorist. We've already had someone call him a Nazi, which is, of course, the argument of a sane person not overtaken by emotion </sarcasm>. In a better world more people would use their minds for rational thought. I assure you, if prosecutors in a state governed by Jeb Bush had a shred of evidence that the husband was abusive, etc., he would have been symbolically arrested 10 years ago. Maybe the people in Florida should be keeping closer track of the child molesters who are killing their children (that's four now in the past year for guys that had long sex assault records) than to allow Teri to go to a better place according to her wishes.

Just to keep her "alive" in her vegetative state, doctors would have had to cut off her extremities. What the Byrds didn't adapt in their lyrics is there's a time to let go, and they reached that point about 10 years ago. Turn! Turn! Turn!

Which LOST Character Are You? I got Jack. (Hence the avatar). Oops. It readeth: "Ah, the classic co-dependent. You are the person people love to have around in a crisis because you know what to do and how to do it. You'll get all the chicks --- until the bad boy flexes his muscles." Interesting note, I didn't see before that his name is Jack Shepard. Piecing this together, his father said Jack was "a good man".... --> Jack is "The Good Shepard." In the Bible, "the Good Shepard lays down his life for his flock." I wouldn't expect this until the end of the series, if it happens at all. Just a musing.

Nice to hear Wire re-did his contract and will be sticking around.

It's great how people, including first-year doctors who have taken to diagnosing by fuggin' videotape, throw out "seems" as if it's "is." Funny, the Supreme Court of the United States says it's on the husband, or else they would have heard the case. Unless you're saying you know or can divine the law better.

Neither does dramatically turning their heads to Camera 2 in the middle of something that purports to be a news report, and saying "Now, here's what I think.... blah blah blah."

I don't use the nancy-boy stuff like cologne or spray. But the stick deodorant, yeah, I go old school w/ Old Spice. It's been doing the job for 100 years, and after I made a switch to it from some powder-scent Tom's of Maine that I got a case of for free, a few chicks have said they like the OS.

There's nothing like deluding yourself in thinking that by re-living the past, you can repeat your success. Does Cowart now officially have the vote for "Most Likely to Have An Eddie Robinson Moment"?

There are some Christian whack jobs who did just that with their babies and buried them in the back yard. Teri's case, however, is an entirely different set of circumstances. Babies don't ask to be born. Teri asked her husband not to keep her alive like that. And what happened for 15 damn years was against her rationally stated wishes. I don't know what to think about the cosmos, but just like I say a few words every night for when anyone here asks for prayers, I'll be saying one for Teri. Godspeed.

One newspaper editor, on why his paper (I think it was the "NY Sun" back in the day) was failing and his subscriber list dwindling: "I could never make it bad enough!"

The only thing that matters in court --- was it peeled or unpeeled?

(AP) State Sen. Nancy Argenziano, R-Dunnellon, cries tears of joy after casting her vote, thereby solidifying her voting bloc for years to come and taking away people's rights to make their own rational decisions or carry out the stated requests of loved ones. ----- Saddening to see someone die in this manner, but it's even sadder to see someone live in that manner when they didn't want to.

You must be confusing it w/ the full frontal lobotomy whereby a person loses their own personality and becomes a puppet for X front-organization. There's several of those. <rimshot> Will you be here all week? Should people try the veal?

Really a sad case all around. But families are forced to make these decisions every day to take someone off life support, etc. Watching the coverage I've told members of my family that if that's me, do me a favor and pull the plug. Sometimes things aren't written in legalese and codified to the fullest extent. It's that time when the person who was closest to her and discussed these issues --- in this case, the husband --- has to make the decision according to the patient's wishes. He says she didn't want this and has endured the pain of having it dragged up in the spotlight time and time again b/c he wants to honor her wish. Sorry, but I don't question his motives just like I wouldn't want my brothers questioned and villified if they pull the plug on me just b/c there's nothing on paper.

The Lions of the last few years are comparable to the New York Rangers c. 1995-2004. Work with what you've got and be very selective in who you draft and sign, rather than try to buy a championship/playoffs and have it blow up in your face every year w/ expensive guys who do nothing. Amazing how many times this has to be stated in the offseason.
