  1. They apparently aren't by the media. I haven't heard from CNN about non-fatal casualties recently.
  2. Is Graham v. Connor ever not violated?
  3. My school had a couch. I found my uncle under it once.
  4. That was standard spin-control by Ralph...a 10-year vet not ready to play on a week's rest, so he's suspended without pay for that game? Not bloody likely. That was Ralph's way of trying to let Moulds save some face...so he could say "I wasn't suspended because of anything I did..."
  5. Buffalo Bill, Silence of the Lambs. It was actually a pretty funny reference...albiet dark...
  6. It's a measure of how little respect I have for Mularkey's abilities that I read this and thought "Yeah...this could happen..."
  7. Let me respond on behalf of Tenny: "It's not me who's being cavalier, it's Bush staying in Iraq piling up the body count and Halliburton's profits before he bugs out."
  8. My ability to make Cindy smile on a very dark day is far, far more valuable to me than the half-assed ill-informed anonymous opinion of someone I couldn't pick out of a line-up.
  9. Although I wish he or someone would give us some perspective as to why Moulds is suspended. There's still far too much room for conjecture about the dynamics of the situation.
  10. It doesn't matter what I think...the fact is that casualties are not "more than 3000".
  11. So he wasn't under the couch then? Check the closets then...I lost my grandmother once, and found her two days later in the linen closet.
  12. I used to have some...but I lost it. I think it's under the couch...
  13. "Man suffered from bipolar disorder." Hell, I suffer from bipolar disorder, and if I claimed to have a bomb on a plane and ran from law enforcement while reaching into my bag, I'd expect to be shot. Really...some actions have consequences, no matter what the excuse.
  14. I should just die, right? Then, when my wife loses me, you can tell her to look under the couch.
  15. I suspect, as casualties are NOT NOW near 3000, you made it up. And herein we discover your problem...you don't know the difference between make-believe and reality...
  16. They have couch-lifting classes now?
  17. Help for what? Lifting the couch?
  18. I don't know...Aiken's been a force on special teams this year, as far as I can tell...and Crowell's filling in for Spikes has impressed me at the very least more than Posey's play at LB; I wouldn't mind seeing Posey cut and Crowell moved over there, if possible.
  19. 89) Idiots who've never lived up north saying "I can't believe how cold it is!" when it's only 35 degrees out.
  20. That's different. Halliburton is being humanitarian with the Bosnia no-bid contract. In Iraq, they're just greedily soaking up profits from Iraqi oil.
  21. Maybe after you watch 7000 tapes of it, you'll begin to understand how smart the art form is.
  22. Ripple-fire probably pushes the ship sideways more than a full broadside would, given that, in spreading the recoil over a longer period of time, it provides a more sustained push. And American BBs in general (and the Iowas in particular) always had heeling problems, due to the fact that the beam was dictated not by the needs of the gun platform but by the width of the Panama Canal. Compared to other BBs of the time, Iowa et al. were skinny. Never heard of the firing limitation in GWI Act I...and I don't doubt it, thanks for the info. It must flex the keel something fierce, with all that recoil along the length of the ship. It yet again illustrates my point that, despite mounting big-ass guns, the BBs themselves have limitations that make them poor gunfire support platforms.
  23. Not all at once. It gives it a "leeway" that ultimately pushes it aside a quarter-mile.
