  1. So much for his pledge "I'm not going anywhere".
  2. I thought they were going to announce they traded luck for cassell
  3. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) was indicted on public corruption charges by a federal grand jury in Newark, N.J., according to the Associated Press. After a more than two-year investigation, Menendez faces charges for what prosecutors believe were improper efforts by Menendez to help Salomon Melgen, a Florida-based doctor who was also a contributor to Menendezs campaigns and his longtime friend. Menendez intervened on Melgens behalf in a dispute with the federal regulators over Medicare charges and in a bid by Melgen to secure a port security contract in the Dominican Republic. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/menendez-expected-to-be-indicted-as-soon-as-wednesday-sources-say/2015/04/01/623024c6-d86e-11e4-8103-fa84725dbf9d_story.html Lol...way to go Harry "Senator Menendez has done a stellar job as chair of the committee, and as far as I am concerned, hes been an outstanding senator," Reid said.
  4. Geez even another Judith miller smoking gun article would be more convincing than those 2 knuckleheads agreeing on something.
  5. 25th anniversary of wide right...you know wed never hear the end of it from the media
  6. Well hes got a great arm,super quick release that will do well in the NFL. But does he have the leadership qualities? Can he carry a team like an Andrew luck? Is he competitive enough? That said if you need a QB and hes there where ever you're drafting, of course you take him
  7. Or its from.someone who's watched a lot of vintage porn
  8. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia won bipartisan support and praisefrom Washington last week for its recent push to repel the advances of Iranian-backed rebels in the crisis-prone country of Yemen. Riyadh, along with a coterie of Sunni Muslim governments, launched airstrikes against a Houthi rebel movement that has pushed Yemen to the brink of full-blown civil war since seizing the capital city of Sana'a in September. "We will do whatever it takes in order to protect the legitimate government of Yemen from falling," said Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi ambassador to the United States, during a press conference held in Washington last week. Although some in the West have lauded the Saudis for taking such decisive action, a closer examination of this coalition of the willing reveals some not-so-coincidentally similar regimes. That list includes Egyptian military dictator-cum-president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, as well as unlikely champions of governmental legitimacy like Sudan, Pakistan, and Qatar. And if Saudi Arabia's newfound faith in tranquility and continuity strikes you as odd or dubious, you probably aren't alone. Who, after all, could forget the last time the Saudi monarchy was called upon to defend local stability, when, in 2011, its national guard, joined by hired mercenaries from Pakistan, rolled into Bahrain to help the country's ruling Khalifa monarchy crush a mostly peaceful protest movement? Indeed, Saudi insistence on the sanctity of global order and stability might surprise more than a few, seeing as its fingerprints can be found on decades of uprisings, insurgencies, and acts of terrorism. The monarchy's reliance on a radical class of Wahhabi clerics to ensure its hold on power has resulted in chaos all across the globe, and the kingdom has spent billions of dollars to push its rigid — and often violent — interpretation of Islam to every corner of the world, from West Africa to the far reaches of northwest China. http://theweek.com/articles/546977/dont-cheer-saudi-arabias-foolhardy-war-yemen
  9. nsfw .... American Apparel has stirred up quite the controversy for decking out its mannequins with very visible patches of untamed pubic hair. As of this morning, the storefront at the retailer's East Houston location in New York features three mannequins clad in transparent white underwear, exposing their unkempt bikini lines and stopping window shoppers dead in their tracks. But while some Twitter users have labeled the exhibition 'kinda pervy', the retailer has defended it by saying it is intended to start a conversation about society's concept of feminine beauty.

  10. who are our allies again? Washington’s Al Qaeda Ally Now Leading ISIS in Libya By Eric Draitser Global Research, March 10, 2015 The revelations that US ally Abdelhakim Belhadj is now leading ISIS in Libya should come as no surprise to those who have followed US policy in that country, and throughout the region. It illustrates for the umpteenth time that Washington has provided aid and comfort to precisely those forces it claims to be fighting around the world. According to recent reports, Abdelhakim Belhadj has now firmly ensconced himself as the organizational commander of the ISIS presence inside Libya. The information comes from an unnamed US intelligence official who has confirmed that Belhadj is supporting and coordinating the efforts of the ISIS training centers in eastern Libya around the city of Derna, an area long known as a hotbed of jihadi militancy. http://www.globalresearch.ca/washingtons-al-qaeda-ally-now-leading-isis-in-libya/5435574 Sen.

  11. DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) - The German zpilot suspected of deliberately crashing a plane in the French Alps last week was treated for suicidal tendencies years ago before he received his pilot's license, German prosecutors said on Monday. This was the first acknowledgement from German officials that the pilot, Andreas Lubitz, had suffered bouts of depression and it is likely to intensify a debate about how airlines screen and monitor their pilots. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0MQ1WJ20150330?irpc=932 Beyond the administrative burden, the problem with requiring psychiatrists to register and report on their patients is that would discourage those who need help from getting it. On balance it may have greater costs in human lives.
  12. actually it did, cap the al qaeda guys and get the f&@% out. The mistake is supporting the saudi-led coalition on another sectarian mission. Did you see the Saudi delegates presenting to the Arab league on this? What a bunch of (super rich) creeps
  13. the Shiite Houthis (sp?) were the only ones capable of defeating Al Qaeda in Yemen. So why are we helping Saudis fight them? They represent no threat to us, and are doing exactly what we tried with drones. Saudis always try to walk this fine line of tacitly supporting Al Qeada/ISIS to get them to do their dirty work in other parts of the mideast, and when they get too good at it, they sit back while the US is stuck fighting them. We've seen this play out too many times ... Saudis will beat back Shiites and demolish most of the country's infrastructure, and when they leave there will be a vacuum which Al Qaeda/ISIS will quickly move in to fill, which the Saudis wont do a thing about ... then it will be time for the US once again stuck with cleaning up the mess
  14. Reid was a weanie with no back-bone, and the Menendez scandal may well ensnare him too ... I wonder if that's factoring into his decision not to run. Schumer is not a weanie, he aggressively and blatantly pursues his agenda, which makes him even worse. On one hand he is a complete tool of wall street banks, and big hedge funds .... at hearings with Bernanke he essentially put words in the Fed Chairman's mouth that smaller institutions were responsible for the crisis .... utter nonsense. So the new regs and laws have made the big banks even bigger and even more too big fail, and the same thing has happened with mega-hedge funds. Exploiting the big money donors, he pursues a regulate-everything agenda everywhere else, regardless how impossible it would be, the number of innocent bystanders are harmed, or how much red tape it creates.
  15. Well hes back with the "I'm not the only gay player in the NFL" http://www.gulflive.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/03/michael_sam_says_hes_not_the_o.html For starters he's not in the NFL. Secondly why doesn't he respect the alleged gays in the NFL instead of fueling speculation? Idk if its him or the media keeps this going, but they need to stop. Its gotten old now
  16. Defense last year was dedicated 4-3, barely blitzed, and had the best run stopping mlb in football in spikes. It looks like none of those conditions will hold this year
  17. Bills have a very good offensive line? Those guys are high. And btw its not like our linebackers are some kind of elite unit either
  18. Good point. The suicide motive wasnt making sense, if it was deliberate it was homicide/mass murder. The guy may have been mentally Ill.....what his ex-gf said: According to German newspaper Bild, an ex-girlfriend of Lubitz, identified only as Mary W, said he had told her last year: "One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it." She added: "I never knew what he meant, but now it makes sense." And the stewardess, 26, said the pilot, who took a break in his training due to reported "burnout-syndrome", had suffered nightmares and his behaviour had scared her. She told the paper: "At night, he woke up and screamed: 'We're going down!', because he had nightmares. He knew how to hide from other people what was really going on inside." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-3015627/Pilot-planned-place-history.html
  19. Poetic justice incognito has an NFL job and martin doesn't. Richie was the better player and martins messages to Richie had plenty of nasties in them too
  20. Its an initial starting point but far from certain what happened. Have to subject that and other explanations to scrutiny as more information is known. Often in these investigations the first theory formed gets proven wrong. One open question is why would someone bent on suicide make a slow descent? Seems like people of that mind set want to go as quick as possible, and the added time exposed him to someone finding a way to pry open the door.
  21. Well at least he creates a lot of media controversy. Also bring in Vick to back him up. I really like how this team offense is shaping up
  22. Now that we have incognito let's build out the offense around controversial players. Trade a 4th to 9ers for Jonathan martin to reunite the pair. Sign ray rice at RB. Trade our 3rd to Browns for Gordon at WR. And of course sign tebow at QB. Would be no worse than last year (maybe better), and would be a lot more entertaining.
  23. co-pilot of the Germanwings flight that crashed in the French Alps locked the pilot out of the cockpit and deliberately worked to destroy the plane, a French prosecutor during a news conference in Marseille. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/03/26/germanwings-plane-crash/70473800/
