I got 30:Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burundi, Chad, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Libya, Madagascar, Mali, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, I missed the Congos for the same reason.

If he's not happy with $8 million a year, how much will it take to sign him? No thanks.

That would be tremendous. But no way the Ravens part with Gregg. Also, agreed with ROCCEO wrt Rolle.

Only time will give you the answer to that. I think what people are happy about is the first real demonstration in a long time of Bills management addressing the offensive line. Think of it, THREE offensive lineman signed in the very first day of free agency. Shocking. So five years down the road, we may be saying that Marv and Co. sucked at evaluating talent, but we won't be saying that they ignored the line.

Me too.

Agreed. Live in Baltimore, watched the Ravens a lot. He is nothing special.

I don't know, I don't listen to political talk radio at all. I have seen Bill O'Reilly's show a few times, and he doesn't seem so willing to listen to opposing viewpoints. He may be atypical of blowhards on the right though.

the difference is there is a lot less of them. you could subsitute "clinton" for bush in the quote in the OP and it would still be entirely accurate. the blowhards on both sides add nothing to the debate. but for some reason, whatever it may be, the blowhards on the right find themselves with a larger and more supportive audience. why that is, i have no idea.

http://www.amata.as/cgi-data/news/files/244.shtml The Republican representative for Samoa seems to be under the impression that Pelosi is FOR increasing the minimum wage in Samoa. Personally, I think she makes a strong case for the wage there to remain the same. Also, here's some more clarification on the issue: http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/The...7/wagebill.html While I'm sure that the all-powerful tuna lobby may have some influence on Pelosi, it doesn't seem like it has enough to keep her and Miller from supporting the minimum wage increase in both the Northern Marianas and Samoa.

This is addressed in the Wiki article: So he's not a pacifist and would voluntarily go to Afghanistan and serve there. And he didn't accept a job in Iraq that put him out of harm's way. It seems pretty clear that he is not being motivated by cowardice, although of course he is opening himself up to accusations of cowardice.

Absolutely agree. The time-out/challenge was the worst play of the game.

get a grip dude.

wha? pledge of allegiance... in college?

Didn't the Bills have a rookie free agent in camp that fit this bill?

Definitely. I looked at the Raiders depth chart, and addition to Gallery at LT, they have a 2nd round pick at RT (Langston Walker) and C (Jake Grove). Manning the G spots are a rookie 6th rd pick and an UDFA (Barry Sims). Isn't this the very model for building an O-line? High draft picks on the tackle positions, a quality C, and low round, lunch pail guys at G? So what is the Raiders problem? Coaching? Scouting?

I tried a couple searches for this, but couldn't find it. Can someone post the link to the site with the nfl on tv schedule? thanks.

seems like a good philosophy. maybe the bills should try it out. lee evans has been solid, and he's a third year player. i'd like to see him remain a bill for a long time.

To be fair, all that backs the claim that Webb is a pedophile is an excerpt from a work of fiction wherein he describes something that he actually saw take place. Allegations of Allen's racism have a lot more instances of questionable words and actions to back them up. There is the macaca thing, his alleged use of the n-word in the past, the deer head incident, his opposition to the MLK holiday and support for Confederate History month, his support for and display of the Confederate flag; it becomes a pattern. His current down-home image and embrace of all things "Southern" is somewhat peculiar given the fact that the man didn't live in VA until his sophomore year in college, when he transferred to UVA. He grew up in California and Chicago. This also makes his attacks on Webb as an "outsider" that hasn't seen the "real Virginia" somewhat perplexing. I think there are legitimate questions as to Allen's views on race, while there just isn't much question that calling Webb a "pedofile" is a huge leap.

I can attest to you that at least one thing that the government is better than average at is in its funding of the medical sciences, specifically throught the NIH. I am a graduate student nearing completion of my Ph.D. in the biosciences, and so have some familiarity with the grant process. It's not politicians dictating what projects get funding, it is actual scientists that form the peer review groups and determine the relative merit of proposed work. I don't know if many of you are aware, but in 2006, American scientists swept the science Nobel Awards for Medicine, Chemistry, and Physics. Both awardees for the prize in medicine and the awardee for chemistry relied heavily on NIH funding for their groundbreaking work. Here is a link where one of the winners of the award in medicine and the award winner in chemistry speak about the role of the NIH in their work: http://mednews.stanford.edu/fire/fire-funding.html

www.michaeljfox.org is actually another good place to start. his foundation has raised nearly $70 million for Parkinsons research.

By handing it off to Tiki Barber.

Well my feeling is that improved LT play should reduce the number of hits, but whether or not JP fumbles is on JP, true.
