John Adams

Just for fun, I watched some Sanders highlights. Stop. He had no QB, no line, and the other team always knew he was going to get the ball. He may not have been the best, but he was the most exciting RB I ever saw. They won't show all his 2 yard games but Sanders was exciting every time he touched the football. For Scott Mitchell? Why bother?

I like to shoot guns. There are different kinds. That's why I'd want more than 2. The end.

He's 7-11, 2 TDs and 2 INTs so far this year. Maybe the Bills should send Washington 2 first round picks?

So wait, your solution is to put 5 armed government employees at every school in the country? Gee, what could go wrong?

Think Japanese culture played a role?

As a poster here has often said (and I won't quote him because he may not want to be quoted in this context), freedom has a price. It means tolerating ****heads who protest at military funerals. It means giving a serial pedophile a fair trial and allowing him to plead insanity. It means people will drink and drive and kill an innocent family on their way to a Christmas party. And yes, it means that there are guns available to disturbed people, who will do disturbing things with them. Freedom is not always pretty and in fact, can be very ugly.

I would not lose sleep if all of them were cut. I like Fred but RBs are a dime a dozen behind a good line (which the Bills actually have if healthy).

100% agree. I was shouting at the TV. There was no doubt that his hand was going forward on replay.

I have a dream that one day a thread will get moved from PPP to TSW.

Has worked fine on all my devices. No issues except a little laggy week 1.

Saw the movie and read the book. No need to read the book if you've seen the movie. Once you understand the premise, you have the idea. The movie introduced the author character to aid in filling in the background but otherwise it's a faithful adaptation.

I will be happy to buy yours but I've read others. Agree re Europe...but the posters here are saying that the US now would not go to war. I'm saying that if Japan's attack had come 3 years earlier, the US almost certainly not have joined the European theater and its Pacific objectives would have been more limited. There would have been some calls to strike back at Japan somehow but would the Americans have fought for the Phillipines and to cut off the Japanese shipping lanes? Doubtful. The US had no interest in joining the war except as observer.

You're saying if Europe was under attack and losing, and if the Japanese attacked the US on US soil, that we wouldn't go to war with Japan and then join in the European war too? I doubt that very much. By the time the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the US had been primed to finally join in the fight. It took a lot of years to turn the US mindset (lead by JFK's dad Joe Kennedy) in that direction though.

Yeah, because he's been so successful.

Meth heads.

It's a hot topic now but stumbled on some more data in an article today. 34 of 35 NFL studied brains had degenerative brain disease CTE that leads to dementia, and 68 of 85 brains of football exposed brains of any age had it. A small sample to be sure but those are crazy odds against an awful quality of life. This has nothing to do with concussions, but repeated head blows are bad (yes, youth soccer too needs to not be teaching tons of heading, or perhaps almost any). As to youth football, not sure how you go to no head hits except by playing flag or forbidding it. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/cte-degenerative-brain-disease-found-34-pro-football/t/story?id=17869457

Word on the street is that Simon pwnd Tom.

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes Simon eats Tom.

Please don't feed Tom's ego.

TPS correlates deficit directly to the unemployment rate. Sure, that's a direct relationship. And of course continues to assume that 5% unemployment will be achieved in the near future. Anyways, back to big boy talk. At least the Reps put their nonstarter proposal on the table. Maybe soon both sides can arrive at a 4T cut (over ten uears, with future Congresses dealing with the cuts...so brave of our leaders) like they had on the table in 2011. Tick tock.

Oh, so all we have to do is lower unemployment by 3% and we're still hugely in the red every year. This is your argument for taxing the rich? Is your mic on? Are you here all week?

How that deal fell apart was covered by every media outlet. This issue is not only sourced, it's sourced ad nauseum. I gave you a book to read. Get back to it when you're done, or if that's too hard, read some interview excerpts. Or if you don't like Bob Woodward, try some other articles. The story of how that deal collapsed is everywhere NJSue. It's simply fantastic that you want to review something that is so public. You can even read Obama's side of things and Boehner's side of things. They both sound like douchebags who failed to lead the country when we needed it.

Do you want me to link to the entire book The Price of Politics? Or the 100000 links describing the deal? Just because you're ignorant of how the deal went down doesn't mean I need to do your research NJSue.

You hear what you want to hear, read what you want to read. Boehner negotiated without approval a deal his party would have probably scuttled. He walked away, yes, but he didn't need to. He did it because the heat from his side was getting hot. As I've said, Obama went amateur hour and asked for more to shore up his own party support, but anyone who thinks one side is a lot more to blame than the other for the last failed deal has a wicked bias problem. It's time, Obama is putting less cuts on the table and Boehner refuses to talk about raising taxes, so both sides are conceding less so far. Great for the country.

Both sides count the war windowns as cuts.
