  1. Thank you. I was being flip. I'd be happy with the right drafted RB. I hope we don't go for some worn out truck like Dillon.
  2. 3 good RBs in 40 years. I guess you're happy overlooking the first round busts.
  3. A PU running back? I'll pass.
  4. OJ, Kelly, McGahee. Even my 5 year old can do this. "One of things just doesn't belong here..." Come on. Willis didn't have heart and didn't play hard. From some reports, he was also not a film studier or team player. Oh, and he didn't play well on Sunday. So besides that the Bills acquired 2 3rds for at best an average back, tell me why I should give a Stojan that he's gone.
  5. Exactly right. Jones is a fine RB. Not great. It's a fair trade. I'd expect more for McGahee than to move up so slots.
  6. Better hope W doesn't kick it then.
  7. From what I hear, the "H" was on the tomb.
  8. Didn't Jauron just say the Bills were focusing on the D? Don't mistake moving Willis for not recognizing that defense is the priority.
  9. Is there a Willis McGahee I don't know about?
  10. Idiot corollary # 1.
  11. OK. Most of your post was incoherent so I'll respond to the part I could understand, quoted above. Based on your 5-10 year estimate (even Cheney isn't that optimistic), I chose the right adverb for you. Post again: support my choice.
  12. So wait. Your argument is that since islamic terror justification has been around since the Barbary pirates, we're 5-10 years away from solving it. We Americans truly are an amazing people.
  13. Diplomacy (well-muscled but without all out war) worked pretty well to win the Cold War. War worked pretty well to win WWII. And the Barbary pirates, while interesting, don't compare to today's terrorists. I'll leave you to do the calculus as to why but I feel pretty confident that 5 years into the war on terror, we're not 5-10 years from it being over, which is what you are idiotically implying.
  14. "You're so smart Darin." "No, you're so smart Tom. I love you." "I love you more Darin." "No I love you more Tom. I love you the mostest." Why don't you fags move to New Jersey.
  15. Right, a teacher I know worked hard preparing her lesson plans the first year. Now she works from 830-3 everyday--leaves right at 3 (no coaching or after school responsibilities). She doesn't appreciably change her lessons from year to year. During that 6.5 hour "workday," she gets a 1 hour lunch and two periods a day where her kids are off in other classes. So she really "works" for about 3.5-4 hours a day, plus some grading here and there. All this for 79K/year (average in the district), summers off, every holiday you can imagine, a pension, full medical, and guaranteed job security. Give me a !@#$ing break. What's her incentive to improve her lesson plan?
  16. Where's this capitalist society? As is the same with our socialist society here in USA public schools, pay and performance have little relation to one another.
  17. Thread hijack in 3...2...
  18. You're not talking to me right?
  19. Who cares about Steve Jobs's opinion? Not me particularly, but this article brings up an interesting point. How much blame should the teacher's unions get for the sad state of public education? http://www.wired.com/news/columns/0,72754-...ml?tw=rss.index In California, where the author is, the average teacher salary in 2003-4 was 57K/year, which isn't bad for a job that gets summers off and a million holidays and with many breaks during the workday. As far as the training, I'm not sure how things are in CA, but there are so many GD training sessions available here in PA that it's dazzling. The issue isn't a lack of available training--the issue is that most teachers don't take advantage of the available resources. The quoted article is hard to follow but the point is something like this: Unions aren't really much to blame for school woes. Seems to me that with good salaries and benefits in place, plenty of bad and lazy teachers who bloat the salary statistics because they are hard to fire, and students who aren't doing well, the Unions are certainly a large part of the problem.
  20. Republicans would never do something like this. Oops. Except when they did almost the identical thing to Clinton. December 1995: 221 Republicans backed a nonbinding resolution opposing President Clinton's plans to send 20,000 U.S. forces to Bosnia to enforce the peace there. Be an equal opportunity hater.
  21. The boyfriend's wife?
  22. I like your post. I like them but I don't believe in them but I do believe in them but I don't.
  23. Did someone infringe away your "shift" key?
