  1. Somewhere - a bunny is safe
  2. Cash up front - no checks !
  3. Sounds like the same tripe offered by the opponents to the USS Midway, which has been an amazing success story in less than two years http://www.midway.org/site/pp.asp?c=coIMKTMCF&b=81432 Even Buffalo, NY made a hit with the Naval Park
  4. It's got to be something in the water - http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20060309/...eshiptheheaveho The battlewagon that sailed the seven seas could end up in Stockton, CA - but I would still go there
  5. There's snow up at the 2,000 level in Julian etc. but not at my 237' although the rain yesterday was certainly different
  6. One is always amazed at how Al Davis thinks - at least I don't have to take crap from the Raider fans - out here - that team is as messed up as the Bills are
  7. Miami made a pre-emptive strike http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/charg...12chargers.html Wednesday is the day for first payment on my Chargers season tickets - I was hoping they would keep Brees - I just can't get excited about Phillip Rivers - might have to NOT write that check
  8. He also needs every Heisman Trophy "Weekend" off (to be on the stage)
  9. It's midnight on the East Coast - nothing much (NFL) is happening now Tomorrow is another day
  10. "But, the point isn't money and wealth (just thought I throw it in there)... It is hope and perception amongst the forlorn populace (in a western sense that is)." The "fax" machine defeated the Soviet bloc as surely as anything else did and almost got "Red China". The have-nots that CAN be aware they are not deprived by their position in life but by their governments slowly make progress. "Big order to fill... Hearts and minds... Where did I hear that before?" You don't have to win their hearts and minds - just give them a reason outside of abject socialism/slavery to better themselves - it happens all the time. People will always look out for themselves and their families first and then their prosperity goes to others. It's fundamental human behavior. Hell, the American Revolution took fifteen years until the Constitutional Convention. Then, American (real) independence was a damn close thing until after the War of 1812. The whole "Republic" thing wasn't settles for another 53 years and even then foreign governments were meddling in our affairs. The idea that the US can build something in Iraq/Pan-Asia in five years or less is sheer lunacy - the native people on the ground will decide and prosperity is the way. Stupid - single minded insurgents only live on chaos - they are humanity's cockroaches and deserve their fate As bad as our "illegal;" immigrant problem is - what drives it ? Basically a totally corrupt Mexican government based on a pyramid of 99% of the populace ruled by 1% - so don't pick on the US there - except for 40+ years of US elected government that has allowed the situation to continue and worsen.

Jedi fight for civilzation, because only civilization creates peace." Mace Windu
  11. Was he filling out an application ?
  12. One gernade down the hidey hole - first thing No messy little trial Funny thing - how despots cry for the rule of law - after the fact and get away with it
  13. http://www.defenddemocracy.org/in_the_medi...m?doc_id=360464 "Asymmetrical warfare would be less effective if suicide-bombing women and children, decapitating aid workers and using civilians as shields evoked widespread public outrage and revulsion, if it brought shame and disrespect upon those who committed such acts and on the causes they claim to champion. But, on the contrary, the trend has been to legitimize the tactics used against the West and indulge those employing them. Mass murdering civilians, torching churches and even mosques do not spark major protests anywhere. Nor has there been serious action in response from the United Nations, the international courts and prominent human rights organizations." and then consider "All this is happening at a time when there is a very real possibility of chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons coming into the possession of militants who believe, as al-Qaeda in Iraq commander Abu Musab al-Zarqawi put it, that “Killing the infidels is our religion, slaughtering them is our religion, until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute." Food For Thought (for the able)
  14. http://www.profootballhof.com/store/item.j...PARTMENT_ID=178 and http://www.profootballhof.com/store/item.j...PARTMENT_ID=178 and - for washing the car http://www.profootballhof.com/store/item.j...PARTMENT_ID=178
  15. http://www.news.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=32648 Don't we still owe them some spare parts ? Goodbye to the finest (jet) fighter ever built
  16. Raiders #1 for Culpepper
  17. San Diego radio is reporting a 5-year, $40 Mil deal being proffered at 12:01 AM. Brees alledgedly asked the owner, Mr. Spanos to interecede with AJ Smith, and the owner declined.
  18. Hell, he was installed to stop Big "TED" way back when - so let's just bring him too !
  19. The locks are 24.4 metres wide - barely 80 feet wide
  20. Exhibit # 1 - Clements 22 http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showt...67entry618667
  21. It means that someone on this forum will say "Should the Bills sign Kerry Collins?"
  22. Mission Valley "scuttlebutt" - San Diego was eliminated with one game to play. Adams wanted Rivers to start the "meaningless" game against the (already) Divison champ Broncos. Marty S. wanted Brees to continue (?) Brees gets hurt (badly) and Rivers looks like crap against the horsies after getting very liitle regular season playing time because the Chargers were in so many close games (alright - not Lance Alworth Day). SNAFU all around
