AP: Iran's supreme leader ups fight with Ahmadinejad

"Here, come right in and see for yourselves just how limited our SDI is!!!" Ronald Reagan just rolled over in his grave.

I'd be careful about making any comment WRT that kind of stuff. While it's a generalization for guys who played in that era in the early part of his career, we have NO idea if Kent Hull had issues with that. Unless you know or can reference this as a fact that contributed to his passing, please show some respect until an official cause is released. Using "likely" is a cop-out.

In a sense, yes. Documentation of birth certificates is kept by the various governmental agencies and hospitals. But it's a private public record. Just because it's kept by a gov't/quasi-gov't agency doesn't mean they must/can share it with the press or every Nosy Parker who walks in. Liken it to how Pres. Obama had to consent to have his birth certificate publicly released. Or just the same how not anyone can walk into the dog catcher's office and look at their files of licenses, vaccination records, owner lists, etc. As to the lawsuit's merits, tho, it's crap if the data is true. Actresses by definition put themselves into the public eye, so they lose most rights afforded on "right to privacy" grounds. And falsity is a requirement for libel/slander cases... and that's only if one considers revealing someone's age to be a libel/slander. And while there do seem to be financial/employment implications WRT actresses' ages, that has to do with legal or illegal discriminations on the part of studios and production companies.

I can't put it any better than that. RIP #67

I can confirm that my name is or is not James and I am or am not related to dev/null.

Missouri application to join SEC imminent It's been rumored that they've been sleeping together for a few months now, but now it's getting closer to becoming official with Missou ready to file for a marriage license.... Also in here, the Big 12 is reportedly courting Louisville and WV.

And pretty much all of Western Europe, and South Korea. You know... so we can stop paying for their security.

Berkshire-Hathaway's tax returns under scrutiny When Warren said he wasn't paying enough taxes, evidently he was correct.

I don't know where the tipping point was WRT the obesity epidemic, but the fact that first "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch was prosecuted for child abuse for making his overweight adopted son begin a walking regime was a low spot in the degeneration of our society. I mean, Richard Hatch is what he is --- you can hate him for not paying his taxes, say he's a manipulator, call him a big gay bear --- but trying to put him in jail because he wants to get his son some exercise to get healthier? Seriously, WTF? I wouldn't have as big a problem with obesity if I weren't forced to subsidize it with higher health insurance premiums, because companies now legally cannot charge overweight people more. The land of plenty became the land of too much and it's populated by people who must have and have and have.

I got that impression as well from the several shots they had of Fitz sitting on the bench --- all quiet, just sitting there with a thousand-yard stare. The body language was telegraphing that his mind was elsewhere or that he was hung up on the INTs. Need to snap out of that, put it behind you, talk with your teammates, look at the formation photos and DO SOMETHING besides sitting there and brooding.

I'm not going to say that racing is evil, but there comes a point at which it's too fast.

Before LA gets two teams, perhaps it would be prudent for them to show they can/will support one.

Oh I remember that now. Jack's scenario makes some sense in a scorched-earth policy, as Team Red is already down a player. Going down by 2 (especially losing Ozzy for challenges... but then again, if he's going throw them because he's kitty-sore then he pushes the issue) would really hurt going toward the merge. As a strategy, if Ozzy thinks he can get into the Blues' graces by destroying Red like this and then feels he can win individual immunities then he'll go for it. Smart money says this is a mistake tho.... That Blue core is going to be tough to crack. And NO DOUBT that Coach has no intention of letting Ozzy stick around.

Active duty gays say coming out has been A nonevent

My in-week reading and pre-game viewing has all but ended. Never thought I'd've said that 10 years ago but there it is. (Not having to listen to marblemouth Shannon Sharpe instantly makes Sundays 164% better.) As The King sang, "A little less conversation, a little more action!"

Yeah. Just because you're hurt doesn't mean you're no longer an employee of an NFL team....

First Viagra Niagra! I've had no complaints since the switch and I like seeing it when watching Sabres games. Feels good to support a Buffalo company. No ATM fees, anywhere (their commercials say they'll compensate if there are). Lots of branches in the area and through the Northeast and they're growing.

Mountain West, Conference-USA plan football merger But in a related note... AP source: Big East to invite Boise St., Army, Navy in football; Central Florida in all sports

Actually, I do believe that Ozzy hasn't told anyone. And I think that's the wrong tack given this group. He needs/needed to form a solid core of 3-4 and all he had was a bond with Elyse and an understanding with Keith and Jim that has not been addressed/reinforced in the past couple of weeks. Ozzy's game is nothing like Robfather's... and he doesn't have the luxury of having as stupid/crazy a group to lead around by the nose.

I don't know the answer, but I do know that Wannstache has done an excellent job bringing Sheppard along (he is the ILB coach first and foremost) in a really short time.

In the preview, Ozzy says he is now a "free agent" and from the looks of it, he was throwing the immunity challenge. Way to be kitty-footed because his lady-interest got it... even if she is damn hot. Ozzy, you don't play Survivor to form long-term romantic attachments. By the by, Elyse was just wrapping him around her little finger anyway. Don't know what Ozzy's tack is here --- maybe he wants to go to Redemption because he thinks he can physically beat anyone (a la Matt) until the merge and then join ranks with the Blue team. Whatever his plan, Ozzy seriously misplayed his idol find, as well as his "If I were Coach, I'd get rid of Albert now" comment. Gotta say that I'm rooting for Mikayla. Not because she's "hot" (the buff she wears turban-style does nothing for her WRT making her face seen 3 sizes too small for her body or the jutting ears), but because how she's handled Brandon's dumb ass. For as much as he says he's a Christian and wants to do the right thing, he 1) targeted her for being sexually attractive / wanted to get rid of her because he had impure thoughts and then 2) when he called everyone together and tried to apologize after the council where he was outed for his lies... it ended up not being an apology at all, but a further back-handed attempt to put a scarlet letter on the girl, all while saying he wants to be a good person. Dude needs to talk less about being a good person and redeeming the Hantz name and just... be a good person. Interesting to note the alliance-within-the-alliance in Blue of Albert, Sophie and Coach, made all the stronger with the idol. Discord on Team Red, consolidation on Team Blue.

Independents are probably wondering, "If this is what Obama does when he has to face a re-election test, what the hell's he going to pull when he's got nothing to lose?" Actually, in the polls I've seen, Herman Cain is in the lead by a few percentage points nationally. We'll see how long it lasts when he has to live up to it, as there've been several upstarts already in the campaign that have turned out to merely be Whack-a-Moles for Romney. Once the pressure's been on in debates, with the press vetting their records, the rigors of the road, actually forming a campaign infrastructure, and (perhaps most importantly) raising a war chest, their sprints during the marathon petered out. Romney is getting battle-tested and he's playing it absolutely right. If Juror#8 is correct and the Obama camp isn't afraid of Romney, it's not the first time they've been wrong and it won't be the last. As for the original thread content... shades of 1980, anyone???? This is somewhat on par with Carter's "crisis of confidence" speech.

And a flannel shirt. Doesn't look like she has the Maine Butt Disease, as my uncle who lives there terms it.

The colors there don't quite jibe, but that swath in CA is getting the Cleveland-Oakland game. Look at the Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky/Ill. area --- that's the color for the Colts-Bengals.
