John Adams

Following the runoffs, the Senate will remain deadlocked or in Dems favor when you count the Indep as a D. I voted straight Republican today. Haven't done that in a while. Our PA Republican governor is going down in flames. When you cut education, you're f$%^ed every time. But it was nice of him to do some of the necessary dirty work in spite of it costing him. He also got a little Paterno on him in the Penn State rape and coverup scandal and that didn't help.

Walker Process lawsuits make complete sense. You probably don't understand them.

Watkins repulled groin there.

Pats would throw. Bills should throw. Finish the game with a punch, not by covering up.

Not yet.

IF they run run pass here again, I will punch myself in the nuts.

You speak the truth. I'm thinking that too.

Running against the Jets with backup RBs makes a lot of sense.

Thread hijack but why is this surprising? Different countries, different rules. What does the US Customs guy care what the Canadian Customs person does?

It's a shooting of a war memorial guard so far.

This is a story out of Canada FYI.

Everyone arguing about whether it's raining without looking out the window? That does sound like PPP.

(1) Focus all and every minute on her. That's what kids need. (2) Repeat #2 for the rest of your life. (3) Find the joy in 1 and 2. That is what you're taking on and it can be the opportunity of your life but never think differently or you will f$%^ up the kid.

Fred. Groin. He won't be back to full strength this season.

What about the youth in our country? Don't forget to tip your waitress. I'm in India right now. I should have a ban placed on my return immediately. There's no ebola but no doubt they have things that can spread faster. Think about it. The US government and infrastructure looks like a Swiss watch of efficiency compared to what they have here. And despite ebola being in all the headlines in every US paper, people in India are taking it as just another day. Sure, some people may did but it's not that big of a deal.

No one believed that was a Nix draft. Everyone knew it was Waley's. Even before the draft, not a person here thought Nix had any input. I think Whaley has done a good job for the Bills with picks. Missing on EJ is a bad miss but overall, the picks are really good.

This thread.

The laser is minimally used in that procedure. It's more a marketing gimmick. You'll have a knife making the initial incision and other tools doing the scraping and cutting on the bone/ligaments.

He's on the Sabres board. To his credit, last year and said he went a little overboard in his predictions. There was a funny moment over there where the Sabres board members started defending him "He's nuts but he's our nut--please leave your TBD business over there." I totally respected that.

Market fluctuations. Ebola. Unrest in the middle east. Russians. Volcanos. ...You know where this is headed... Odds of any of the following by 2012: War in Israel/Iran/Syria/Lebanon (chemical, bio or nukes used) (1-1) War in Pakistan with thousands of US forces (3-1) Russian invasion of Baltics and possible US staredown (2-1) Terrorist attack in the US much bigger than 9/11 (1-1) China moves on Taiwan (6-1) Flu/Viral Pandemic (10-1) Continued increase in major earthquakes in US and World (1-1) Possible meteor strike or solar event much beyond normal (10-1) Financial market closure for multiple days (1-1) Default of COMEX as gold is taken in physical delivery (3-1) A new monitary unit used in the US in place of or conjunction with the dollar (3-1) Bank Holiday (2-1) Civil Unrest and Domestic troops on ground in multiple cities (4-1) Institution of Military draft in US (6-1) Institution of forced civil service in US (3-1) The odds of all that happening is close to 1 billion to 1.......even at odds that are much reduced from what anyone else would probably put them at. Most of these are probably 100-1 or 1,000,000-1 shots in people's minds anyway. My odds say 4 or 5 of these events happen in the next 4 years. We shall see. And as future reference, the end times will take 7 years to play out. If we usher them in this year.....you have until 2015 for the final battle. 2012 would put us at the midpoint where the Antichrist is at his peak power.

I will be on a one way plane trip for 14.5 hours on Monday. I'm afraid, very afraid. Afraid of being in a germ infested tube. If we go down, at least I won't have to deal with bird flu when we land.

Get on the plane in Hamilton/Toronto. Be scared while watching some movies. A few hours later, arrive Florida. That's the only thing happening to you that day and that's a fact. Thinking about it between now and April is the part that will make you looney, but all those thoughts are just noise. Use your time more productively.

STFU Donnie.

What a big pile of who-gives-a-****. You label someone and they get upset. You reject a label and they get upset. What I found amusing is that I had to watch the clip twice before I even understood why Oprah got her panties in a wad. I thought I missed something the first time through. The only interesting thing to me besides Rob's observation is that Olivia has purple hair. The Cosby Show must have covered a variation on that.
