  1. This one's from 2004, from Texas. Being a big state, where Texas goes, much of the rest of the country goes as textbook suppliers generally want to produce less books at greater volume. Texas From another NBC article: one of the heads of the Dept of Health:
  2. I think Italy wins that bracket.
  3. This just kind of reminded me of Tecmo Bowl: TOUCHDOWN! QB BILLS #12
  4. OMG, they signed camp fodder. Get a grip! A team always goes into camp with extra bodies at every position. What if Moorman got hurt running for a touchdown? It's nice to have somebody else who's worked with your personnel. Don't worry your pretty little head. We're keeping Moorman.
  5. A defense that doesn't seem to matter to you wrt Losman, but is convenient to use for Holcomb. Got it. Alex Van Pelt must be the best interview QB of all time. I remember all those playoff wins he led us to, and those nine straight Super Bowls. Good times.
  6. Then why can't your (quite sane) response emerge as the consensus among quite sane people, or even among conservatives who no more want society to pay for unwanted/unplanned children than they want kids learning about sex toys? How's about let's run on that Unity party ticket, I'll be the liberal, you'll be the conservative, and we'll come to some reasonable conclusions.
  7. Like it's been good karma all those years we were picked to be cellar dwellers? We can hem and haw about this stuff till we make it to the top. It's going to be damn sweet when it happens. And long overdue.
  8. Nice. I was a DJ there for awhile. That place needed a steady diet of Stooges, Replacements, garage curiosities, and college faves. The music's really hurt me the past few times I've stepped in there. Good memories, though. That's sort of the thing about college bars. They're best for when you're in college and maybe a little bit after -- before those who should move away do. I used to joke at closing time and announce $1 shots of well gin, and to hurry up and take the party over to Liberty Cafe' or the Getaway where the 3rd shifters and 'Nam vets hang out. Y'mean "Scummy's"? When I was around it was notorious for being the "it's OK that you're underage bar." I went in there once or twice looking for some pals of mine but otherwise steered clear. Fredonia has a ton of bars. Most per capita at one time.
  9. BJs, Fredonia, NY. That's the one.
  10. Looney Republicans. Check out all the abstinence-only education that's being promoted. They literally want to strike any record of birth control from textbooks, except to say that it doesn't work.
  11. Interesting. Are you saying new blue and gold Sabres stuff? or just new stuff, period. I was kinda wondering about the dearth of quality gear out there right now and thought that might be attributable to blue and gold on the horizon.
  12. Isn't that exactly what MLK Jr. and those involved in the civil rights movement were doing -- picking and choosing to obey certain laws and civilly disobeying the laws in which they saw an injustice? Were they wrong? I'm not equating the movement of illegal immigrants with this movement, but still, there's a case to be made, that the majority -- or the law -- can be wrong.
  13. So far we've got: Buffan00 RtDB KD in CT WVUFootball cantakerous GuessWhozBack that's six. hooray for me, I can count. Who else is in?
  14. I've tried googling, but I can't seem to find anything really good. My wife would like a Sabes hoodie and the only ones I can find all look pretty pedestrian. Anybody know of a good place?
  15. Rolaids can't bring back the dead or cure an ulcer.
  16. especially on tap. Delicious and refreshing.
  17. TKO has a Pro Bowl season and, regardless of all else, becomes a great media story for the Bills.
  18. Those green bottles always skunkify it when I've had it. I'll have to see if I can find it on tap at a respectable place sometime.
  19. And if you're watching the intake, Sam Adams Light is actually a pretty damned good beer, superior among lights and pretty good even compared to the rest.
  20. Any NYC folks or visitors would do well to check out this bar in Williamsburg called Spike Hill. They clean their lines very frequently (people don't realize how big of a difference this makes) and rotate a pretty amazing selection of ales, pilsners, witbiers, and more. They hooked me on Ayinger's Ur-Weisse. Guinness is by-the-book approved on draught. Plus their scotch selection is off the hook.
  21. I don't disagree with you in that respect. I'm just curious as to how the border gets to mean different things when we're looking at Canadians coming in as compared to Mexicans. What about Americans going to Canada to take advantage of the free health care and cheaper prescriptions? (note this is not my voicing support for the Canadian health care system -- I'm aware it has problems and Canadians come here for better specialists, etc). I think the real problem here is not so much an invasion or transgression of our borders -- it's that Mexico lets it happen instead of doing right by its own people, and is an extremely corrupt country that has the gall to try and force our hand. At the same time, we're complicit because we enjoy the results of the cheap labor, as we do around the world. I thought the Tony Blair quote someone offered before was interesting. For all the bitching people tend to do, this really is a pretty great country and it does offer a lot (and i'm not talking about the freebies or social services -- I'm talking about the chance for people who want to work hard to come here and better themselves).
