ive seen that before. Not a better, more accurate depiction of our current tax system exists. I find it funny when i talk to people who are against the current tax system based on the "tax cuts for the rich" philosophy, and "the rich dont pay enough" philosophy, but are adamant about having a "flat tax" where everyone pays 17% or whatever. These are the people who are so oblivious to the important topics of our time, that the country would be better served if they stayed out of the voting booths until they learn a little about how government really works. But I digress.. Personally, I am in favor of consumption taxes. Get rid of the income tax entirely. This way, you buy a luxury yacht, you pay taxes. The more you spend, the more you pay. This way, the folks who earn less, pay less in taxes. The drug dealer not claiming millions on his 1040, will have to pay taxes on that new pimped out escalade, or the bling. If you earn less, you pay less. If you earn more, you pay proportional to what you spend. This would also encourage much needed personal savings in this country. Its a solid plan. Course, we have to get rid of the income tax entirely...and possibly find a way to make the first $10k or so of expenditures for everyone tax free.

Yeah, figured id get these replies! I know, i know...but in reality, if I make real wings, they will be cold by the time they are served. Perhaps I can deep fry them and then toss them in a crock pot just to keep warm... I dont know. Really the host should be doing the wings and I can make something else...but alas, its not to be....

The ONLY way I would support this is if every team gives up one home game to play out of the country. Remember the outrage last year when the Giants got an extra home game because of Katrina? Its equally as unfair to the Dolphins (and for the Giants, its payback). The schedule is already set for years in advance. Who cares, the NFL does not need to be a worldwide game. Nor does Soccer. We already have american football in europe. Nobody cares. the NFL isnt going to be any different. Imagine if England played the Netherlands in soccer in Chicago. Would you go? Would you care? I might if I was living in Chicago. I might if I knew it would be remotely the same as if it was being played in London. I might if I could name ANY player on either of the teams. But I cant. Would it help soccer succeed in the US? Unlikely.

I have been tasked with bringing the chicken wings to the big game this year. I wish to make them in a crock pot so I can bring it along and keep them warm during the game. Any good crock pot recipies out there? Ideally I would have 2 types, One a traditional spicy hot wing, and the other a sweeter bbq, honey, etc. type of wing. Any suggestions?

They can always sit the other direction! Or, how about this. Put a mirror opposite the crapper. Most of the football game will still be visible even if reversed by a mirror.

It seems that ESPN has been very desirous of a black head coach to do well.

Not sure....but you might get stuck paying social security taxes on your winnings as well...

Smelly Pirate Hooker?

Any chance DTV can pick up the feed from the Jumbotron (angry...)

If I recall correctly, a franchise tag gives either the average salary of the top 5 CBs, OR a 20% increase over the previous years franchise number, whichever is higher. Not sure how that would affect this situation, but NC would be guarenteed a 20% salary increase if re-tagged...might be a big part of the reason for agreeing to not tag him again. (Though a long term contract would bring him considerably more up front money)

Why do you insist on pointing out the flawed behavior of others to try to prove a point? Wrong is wrong. Hypocricy is Hypocrisy. I dont care if your John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Barbara bush or Mother Theresa...its still wrong. Pulling a random Barbara Bush quote from the ether has NO bearing on anything in this thread except make you look even more disconnected with reality than most of us already know you are. I Notice you are staying awfully quiet in the Hillary 2003 thread. Perhaps you should go over there and post the George Allen mcacca video. That'll show em!

No Chloe mention here? http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0285331/Ss/...,%20Mary%20Lynn

I'd ask Dan Marino how he would feel if Peyton Manning won the SB

All accounts stated that if not McGahee, we were prepared to take Kelsay in the first round...So I have a hard time faulting the mcgahee pick knowing that bit of info

The first minute or so is weird... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYATbsu2cP8

I can tell you cursing is wrong. Yet I occasionally curse. does this make me a hypocrite, or someone stuggling with cursing. Simple example, but just because you act one way doesnt mean you think that behavior is correct.

Gas is under $2/gallon. Must be a right wing conspiracy to lower gas prices right before an election...

Very interesting indeed. What kind of interviewer uses the word "schmuck"? Thats beside the point, but I found it quite humorous. I hope Hagel knows what he is doing. He is throwing around some VERY serious accusations in this interview. They better damn well be true, because if not, he is doing irreparable harm to this country. It smacks of politics though. I wonder if he enters the presidential election. If so, I will pretty much discard everything he says in this interview. I hate that every time i hear any politician speak, I have to wonder if they are being genuine, or politics as usual, but its the state of our politics.

Not one to take Molsons side here(im a labatt man)....but...we are kidding ourselves if we think Democrats are the only corrupt ones. IMHO, 80% of the politicians are in it for personal gain. Just another in a long long line of people who need an example made out of them.

Could the patriots play more boring football? seriously. 6 yard pass, 3 yard run, 3 yard run, first down. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. I mean, if it was the Bills, I would be happy, but my goodness, its so boring. Dont get me wrong, its good efficient football, but sometimes I watch them and I would rather watch paint dry.

Just make sure its in a 1qt plastic bag! Tough, if you keep it in your pocket, and can get it through the metal detector, you should be fine!

I dont think anyone thinks any different of the Cowboys...though they have a few rings on their fingers...

Can you imagine the talk if WE were playing in the game...
