That's like saying 'Our house is on fire! Quick, let's build a new addition!" Howz about unions trying to fix their current disorganization before attempting to grow into new areas? Methinks the unions are so scared about becoming irrelevent they want to get into Walmart (and Toyota,etc) simply to get more union dues so they can keep the bloated behemoth on life support another decade or two...

Come on Bah----dee, he's The Weas---el...

And for good reason. Every time a team wins a championship, all those pot smokers go outside and riot, set cars on fire, and just get really violent...

I was just going to say...I'll bet Rasta Rickey is stoned right now!

Good luck and God bless Chris...

Bebe punching the ball away from Lett. It said to the world that even with defeat all but inevitable the Bills would never quit.

My Pops is the same way, didn't like '61' because it showed too many of 'The Mick's' skeletons. Say something even slightly disrespectful towards Mantle and my Dad will be mad at you for days.

Better still, just take away the oxygen they are stealing...

Marvin Harrison's head on TO's body would make the greatest wide receiver ever known to man...

Why trap the cats? Just set the whole damn house on fire and be done with it...

Duuuuuude, you must be really sick! Get to an emergency room now!

I'm playing mind games and making you emotional, don't look now but I've got all your chips!

Coach Pasqualoni is gone, everything else that happens this year is gravy... Coach Robinson is bringing a lot of excitement back to the program and ticket sales are up, but dramatic improvement this season is most likely not in the cards. He still has a lot of questions at QB, oline needs help, and the defense is struggling for an identity (although defense is Robinsons specialty, so it should be improving). I haven't had time to keep up on all the new players so hopefully someone else can fill you in. I'm just so fuggin' happy that Coach P is gone I don't even care if they go 2-10 this year...

Oh go hump a toad in the road...

CEOs are faking it, Stanford professor says - The bigger the company, the less impact they often have Since the 1980's CEO compensation has risen something like 500%...I'm sure glad that in our era of layoffs and outsourcing we can all rest at night knowing the CEO's of the world are hard at work earning their salaries and stock options...

1. Who will win the World Series of Poker in 2021? I will 2. When the Bills are in the Super Bowl (this year or another one soon), what will happen just before the game starts that will ensure a Bills victory? I will open a beer 3. What is the most underrated rock album of all time? Metallica's Master of Puppets 4. Fill in the blank: The most meaningless thing in the world to a woman is a maxed-out credit card. 5. Fill in the blanks: It is a matter of time until JoeSixPack/J-Bone will become a Patriots fan.

Yeah, Michael 'Ron Mexico' Vick is going to get lit up about his herpes everytime he goes on the road this year, but closeted NFL'ers should just come out and help 'our culture' get over this issue...

First off: Huh? What's that got to do with anything? (or were you trying to be funny?) Secondly, there were numorous reports of the 9-11 perps getting hammered in bars near their flight schools. Apparently Muslims can be the same as other religious practitioners in ignoring tenets of their religion when it suits them...

"Those who governed in London at the time failed their people through standing by while a crop failure turned into a massive human tragedy. We must not forget such a dreadful event." -Tony Blair, British Prime Minister June 1997 From the Greek word for tribe (or race), genos, and the Latin term -cide, the word genocide refers to the extermination of the peoples of a nation (or religious group) carried out by an organization, usually a government. Such is the case when discussing the British treatment of Ireland during the potato blight; treatment which was based in the history of Ireland. William Makepiece Thackcray wrote: "...It is a frightful document against ourselves...one of the most melancholy stories in the whole world of insolence, rapine, brutal, endless slaughter and persecution on the part of the English master...There is no crime ever invented by eastern or western barbarians, no torture or Roman persecution or Spanish Inquisition, no tyranny of Nero or Alva but can be matched in the history of England in Ireland." (Metress, 2) A famine did not truly exist. There was no food shortage in Ireland evidenced by the fact that the British landowners continued to have a varied diet and food stuffs were exported. This was not the first failure of the potato crop in the history of Ireland. The starvation (and genocide) occurred as the British carried on their historical exploitation of the Irish people, failed to take appropriate action in the face of the failure of the potato crop, and maintained their racist attitude toward the Irish. The Penal Laws, first passed in 1695. were strictly enforced. These laws made it illegal for Catholics (Irish) to own land, and required the transfer of property from Catholics to Protestants; to have access to an education, and eliminated Gaelic as a language while preventing the development of an educated class; to enter professions, forcing the Irish to remain as sharecropping farmers; or to practice their religion. In addition, Catholics (Irish) could not vote, hold an office, purchase land, join the army, or engage in commerce. Simply put, the British turned the Irish into nothing better than slaves, subsisting on their small rented farms. The exportation of wheat, oats, barley, and rye did nothing to help the financial status of the poor farmer. The produce was used to pay taxes and rents to the English landlords, who then sold the farm products for great profit. These profits did nothing for the economy of Ireland, but did help the English landlords to prosper. The Irish farmer was forced to remain in poverty, and reliant on one crop, potato, for his subsistence. The potato became the dominant crop for the poor of Ireland as it was able to provide the greatest amount of food for the least acreage. Farming required a large family to tend the crops and the population grew as a result of need. Poverty forced the Irish to rely upon the potato and the potato kept the Irish impoverished. As the economic situation worsened, landlords who had the legal power to do so, evicted their Irish tenant farmers, filling the workhouses with poor, underfed, and diseased human beings who were destined to die. A caption under a picture shown in The Pictorial Times, October 10, 1846, best describes the circumstances of the great starvation, and the nature of the genocide: "Around them is plenty; rickyards, in full contempt, stand under their snug thatch, calculating the chances of advancing prices; or, the thrashed grain safely stored awaits only the opportunity of conveyance to be taken far away to feed strangers...But a strong arm interposes to hold the maddened infuriates away. Property laws supersede those of Nature. Grain is of more value than blood. And if they attempt to take of the fatness of the land that belongs to their lords, death by musketry, is a cheap government measure to provide for the wants of a starving and incensed people."(Food Riots, 2) It is time for the world to stop referring to this disastrous period in Irish history as the Great Famine, and to fully realize, and to acknowledge, the magnitude of the crime that systematically destroyed Irish nationalism, the Irish economy, the Irish culture, and the Irish people. Irish Genocide But yeah, let's compare the IRA to Islamic terrorists...your British friend can go fug himself.

Perhaps you missed the part about Britain occupying Irish soil? Believe me, if Britain leaves the IRA won't be bombing anywhere in England over religion...

I abhor bombings and any indiscriminate attacks that can injure civilians. I am no fan of the IRA, and have never donated to anything that could be related to them. Having said that, the British still occupy Irish soil. They've left China, India, and all the other countries they colonized when they sought to make the world British, yet still remain in Ireland. Forgive me if I don't make the leap from IRA to Islamic extremist...

Sounds like something similar I had last year (and still have to some degree), called sarcoidosis. But I didn't have much problems swallowing/eating, I just didn't have an appetite. Hang in there and get well...

God bless football...

I think you're giving humanity too much credit...

I hear he's kind to his mother as well...
