And including the Bucs game that's 5 of the games that Losman started, which tells me: with a little more experience and sound instruction, he gets over that hump and those close games become the ones we win.

Let me guess. We were dumb for not signing him, are now smart for not signing him, and would have been dumb if we did sign him. I think I've covered the bases.

That she speaks so highly of Deadheads, and so disdainfully of others who might share a lot of common viewpoints.

She's savvy -- if only because she's probably got some of the best marketers in the world behind her. Smart? I doubt it. She probably is an icon, which is a sad, sad, statement about our times.

Speaking of Deadheads, I read an absurd article with Ann Coulter where she confirms she is one of them. Very strange.

Hey Luke

I didn't say I want to marry/do her, I said she can look good (and then posted what I feel was a good looking picture of her) -- especially compared to Martina Hingis. You fellas are reading too much into it.

Hey, you've got your anorexic Russian women, I've got my Amazons. Besides, does any of you really think this hose beast looks better than the Serena picture I posted? C'mon, fellas.

Hingis? Man, sure, if you like the bitchy, receding hairline types. Also, people wanna rag on her because she's wicked-strong, but Serena can look pretty good.

Exactly why Stewart and Colbert are genius. They point out how absurd it is to take the media (and media personalities) seriously, and in so doing deliver more serious news.

totally a rumor, but these guys hint at sexual harassment.

How do you live with yourself, being so right all the time? BTW: I'd put Nate in the same category I put Willis in: potential for greatness, might not have the mental focus / may have too much attitude to take it to all-time great level. If we have to put Youboty in there in '07, I'm OK with it.

Does she pour beer on you and boo you when you come home from work?

I think the direct quote is, "I'm a ring up Condi, hit 'em wit that Diplo sh--."

Call your congressman.

I'm going to close this thread as none of this was really the point. There is plenty of space to argue about the conflict in other threads.

That wasn't my point. My response was to wacka's "time for them to stand up for themselves." It can't, right now, be time, precisely due to the current situation.

If that's the case, then it is too late. How is the majority going to stand up for itself when Israel won't even stop the bombing to see if that's possible?

What would be the real truth: is Mexico harboring them, or are these people using Mexico? My cost-benefit analysis says that making a whole bunch of Mexicans angry that we blew up their neighborhood in search of actual bad guys will cause the survivors to side with the bad guys. I'd expect the government to do something about it, but to me this is the wrong something and far excessive. Turn it on its head. If the cops, while searching for a really serious criminal, blew up your backyard because they suspected he might be hiding there, would you be totally cool with it, because, in the end, they might get the bad guys?

Uh, OK, what? She looks 15 in that picture. It's gross. Ogling it is more gross.

Ed, I don't even know what you wrote, it's ignored, and I don't really care. You've made it clear to me that you've sacrificed a bit of your humanity for some warped ideology.

Free improv, extended techniques. I know it's not for everybody.

Tools who think carpet-bombing is the solution probably won't appreciate this, but I felt there must be at least a few who might be interested in the human perspective from a country suffering for the sins of a minority. This is a Lebanese improviser, Mazen Kerbaj, playing his trumpet on his balcony along to the bombs. It's pretty chilling -- you probably don't want to listen to it at work. This is the guy's blog, which features some pretty compelling art.

Yuck. Why the 15-year-old picture?

You should check into what it costs for getting all your energy from renewables (here it's 65-35 run of the river hydro / wind farm). We locked in and while it might have started higher, it won't fluctuate all year and they give you a bit of a rebate so I think it's even, if not better, for us than if we'd gone with their standard plan (all coal energy).
