Let's hope Trent and McGee are back in two weeks -- and the defense is motivated by its shame.

I do worry that the defense looks so horrendous.

You can't have a comeback if you can't stop the other team.

Why can't they spy the screen?

Keep hitting Warner

Just keep doing that.

JP should have stopped that run.

Looks like we need a few blitzes. Give Warner time and he'll destroy you.

You may think you're funny but a blind man can see that was on the OL.

Gotta admit that wasn't his fault. The guy blew by Fowler.

Are they all idiots if the Bills lose? Predictions don't influence the outcome. Why people get all upset about predictions is beyond me.

A targeted tax exemption is the same thing as a directed expenditure, i.e. "earmark." That means that taxes the company/organization/group of people would have paid is not going in the federal budget - thus they get a special exemption while others do not. I'm not saying its always a bad thing and in fact believe these incentives can be very productive -- but then you have to accept the fact that some directed expenditures (the other so-called "earmark") can be equally productive. But just like some "bad" earmarks (which depends on where you sit) many of the tax credit earmarks are simple give-a-ways to those who don't deserve it while the rest of us pay. So, in the end, CNN was right. They don't pay their taxes with costs X amount of tax dollars not in the budget, thus a bigger part of the burden falls on the rest of us. (And spare me the macro argument about whether anyone should ever pay taxes).

Is it an interview when the interviewee speaks less than half the time of the interviewer? When O'Reilly raises his voice he knows he's losing the argument. O'Reilly looks like Clown on Jeopardy answering questions through a kazoo. He could be right but looks and sounds like a moron.

It won't rank high unless they three-peat and go undefeated one of those years.

So, we will have a test to see who fits that VERY small minority of Americans? These would people would include those who don't have a mortgage, car payment, college loan, any credit card debt or has a job that is dependent on the economic health of the nation. All others, start bailing. And yeah, sacrifice is a patriotic thing. Something Bush and others never understood about the War Against Terrorism. Show me a state in the nation that is doing well right now. Whether it's your definition of "tax-heavy" or not.

I hear ya, but you (America) needs to get over the idea that your side of the ship won't sink, too. Actually, most of the problem doesn't fall in that group. Close but not quite. Mostly middle-class who bought way too much house. But it's not just housing alone -- it's credit in general, and about a dozen other factors. In reality, it's hard to find many Americans who haven't contributed to the crisis one way or the other. Problem is you can't segregate the two. Your neighbor may have over extended himself but his problems will be your problem soon. There was a good analogy on CNBC: just because your neighbor's carelessness contributed to his house catching on fire doesn't mean you can ignore it since it may burn yours down as well.

That is creepy. But since the "Hitler" analogy is used, doesn't that mean the thread is over?

Really? "Distract us from Sarah Palin?" For God Sake's why? Where do you come up with this stuff? (Sorry, I don't listen to Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly etc, so I don't get the daily talking points). Palin's disintegration from GOP savior to cringe-worthy, fear-inducing VP choice is like a trainwreck you can't help but watch. Besides, I never said or implied any such thing. But of course, knocking down straw men in your head is a good way to convince yourself you have a clue.

Typical response - "this is someone else's problem." Explain that to your neighbors who don't have time to make it up. Don't you get that we on the ship TOGETHER and were miles from shore in rough seas? Either we all start bailing or we kiss our collective butts good bye. BTW, you and other still don't get that this a "loan" and not a give-away, right? And if we don't do something to shore up the credit markets a devalued house could be the least of your worries.

Did you read the part where the distinction was made by Kenyan Maritime official? Guess you missed that. I guess Fox would have changed what the official said to fit their world view.

Does the NYT say the pirates are misunderstood or the pirates say they're misunderstood? Big difference. We wouldn't want the impression that you interpreted that erroneously. Also, funny how Fox News is alone speculating that the ship may carry Iranian "weapons of mass destruction." Of course, there's no proof, but, hey, why not throw that in there to distract everyone from the economic crisis?

He's got some natural showbiz talent. I'm a bit impressed.

Has anyone located a clip of the hit?
