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...

You found that on Drudge. It cant be true.

The whole league is pitiful. We have about 5 teams worth of making the tournament as a 8 seed or lower....thats about it. Hope it turns around next season with all the good frosh coming in

Dont forget about Bowens...(or Poland)

An online poll of 800 voters has Schilling leading Kerry by 96 percent. haha...bet thats scientific!

ITS ON AT 4...AN ON NFLN

Man, I wonder how he will heat and cool that thing. Hasnt he heard of Global Warming and energy conservation?

Umm...yeah. Team is still in Norfolk, and doing QUITE well. Check out this article from the game last night. Sellout crowd, nearly 9,000 in the stands. Tell me hockey cant survive here! Forget Texas...Bring the Pengins to Norfolk! http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?...&ran=187993

Yeah, i had a steak knife in my bag once (dont ask..i dont know), caught by security. didnt take my name or anythuing. waslked me out of the secure area, gave me the knife. I checked my bag and all was well...

Cant speak for the film issue, but I have kept cameras, cords, power adapters, etc. in my carryon bag. The only thing you need to do is remove your laptop seperatly. Also, most airports requiring shoe removal now, and also remember to remove your jacket. Biggest recent change, no liquids through security. You are allowed one clear 1 quart bag, with individual containers containing no more than 3 oz of liquid. I encourage you to check out the TSA webpage at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/scr...ex.shtm#content prior to flying. It always amazes me that some people are so clueless in security lines. Makes me angry. No, you cant bring your collectible scissor collection. No, you cant bring a lighter. Yes, you have to take your laptop out of your bag. Yes, you need your boarding pass after you go through the metal detector, so dont put it through the xray machine. It makes things so much smoother when everyone knows (and follows) the rules.

Give me some more of your reasons. My reasons are 1) High cost of R&D 2) Frivolous lawsuits 3) Marketing Yes, there are things the government can do to help reduce the cost of health insurance. #1 is the lawsuits. Loser-Pays is a good way to settle this debate. High cost of new prescription drugs could be reduced by lengthening the length of time the patent is valid for.

Yeah, take a look at those numbers and tell me hockey cant surivive in a town like Tampa

I dont believe for a minute that the FDA is not bloated and couldnt stand for a revamping...but I think eliminating it entirely is a disasterous idea. You claim they kept vioxx on the shelf an killed ephedra, and then you claim that vioxx should have gotten the cut. Yet without an FDA, they BOTH would have been on the market, along with many other drugs with even worse (or at least more widespread) side effects. Im not going to make the case for keeping either on the shelf, because im not a medical expert, and because I am not familiar too much with the drugs, but clearly there is a good reason to have an oversight body for food and drugs. I'm open to any alternative points of view. They just need to be well constructed and thought out. If I can punch a hole in it the size of texas, its a waste of my time. Any books you reccomend?

Yeah, I agree with AD on alot of issues, but I cant make a case for abolishing the FDA. Reducing its role, sure, but eliminating it seems absurd to me. There are certain roles of government which i think are necessary (though these are FAR FAR fewer than what we currently have). For a constitutional reference, I feel it falls under "providing for the general welfare of the United States" The FDIC was created after the great depression, when many banks went under, thus exacerbating the problem. I dont know that this is a) still necessary, b) Cost-effective c) couldnt be handled by private organizations or d) a good idea to eliminate it. I need to research the cost/benefits of the FDIC before making a real opinion, but on its surface, I would have to think this is minimal cost for the protection it affords the banking industry. Medicare, and lets throw all health care in this pile is a racket. Insurance is expensive because Research and Development costs are high and people want to pay $3 for prescription drugs and doctors visits. Insurance is insurance. Insurance against the tragic happening and you not being able to afford the repairs. Insurance is for when your house burns down, not when you have to replace a window. Insurance is for when your car gets totaled, not when you find a dent in the drivers door. Insurance is for when you need a kidney removed, not for when you need an annual physical. This is one (big) reason insurance is so darn high. The government has no role in subsidising health care, because THAT DOESNT LOWER THE COST OF HEALTH CARE. We need to look into things that actually reduce the cost of healthcare. Go ahead, appeal the civil rights law. Does that make it legal to treat blacks poorly, bar them from hotels, etc.? No. Would it change the way people act? No. We have grown up since then as a country. The biggest reason racism still exists today is because we talk about it. We say we are all equal, then we keep trying to put everyone into neat little groups. He is a liberal. He is a conservative. He is white. He is black. He is Jewish. Get over it.
