Albany,n.y.

Proof that there is no such thing as a hot politician. Sure she's better than Janet Reno, Madeline Albright & Hillary Clinton, but really, Palin is a very average looking woman. There are millions of women out there a lot hotter than Sarah Palin.

They had one in Mitt Romney. Unfortunately, he reversed his Mass Gov policies on social issues because he felt he had to cowtow to the social conservatives to win the Republican nomination. Instead he was knocked out by McCain in the primaries because the social conservatives didn't trust him after all his flip flops. Until the Republicans take back their party from the religious right they'll end up with people like Palin getting the VP pr Prez nomination. The Republicans could have nominated Tom Ridge, a man much more qualified for VP than Palin last year, but the single issue anti abortion people within the party let McCain know he was unacceptable. When I was younger, I voted Republican a lot more because their party hadn't yet been hijacked by a bunch of wackos who don't care about the issues that really matter-like the economy & national security. They would rather have a recession & kick out qualified gays from the military than elect someone who doesn't agree with them on social issues. Back when Guiliani was the Republican front runner I was telling everyone there was no chance the religious right would accept someone with his social beliefs. What did he get, something like one delegate?

There's an entire thread like this one on the football board. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=91506

The "average fan" has probably either never have seen Trent Edwards play or might have seen a game or 2 in his career. The opinion of the average fan is meaningless. Most of their opinions of players they don't watch is based on what the guy who is on the radio at the time they are commuting thinks.

When I lived in an apartment complex I became friends with an elderly lady who used to walk around the complex for exercise. One time she fixed me up with a woman who had moved in next to her. I was running & they stopped & I was briefly introduced to this woman. I talked with her on the phone for a couple of hours & realized she was a psycho & I didn't want to go out with her. (One of the 1st things she asked me was what's going to happen when I can't go to football games any longer-not even one date & she was already contemplating ways to make my life miserable) I called her back the next day to break up before we even had a date. During the conversation I was trying to be diplomatic because I didn't want to offend my elderly friend. The psycho wouldn't just take no for an answer without a complete explanation & after a while I'd had enough & told her that she was the most depressing person I'd ever spoken to & that's why I didn't want to get together again. A month or 2 later I see my friend & I start apologizing to her that it didn't work out. She then tells me she didn't know the woman at the time but that she later found out she was totally crazy. She said the woman calls her up some mornings just to say f-u and then hangs up. When I told her what I said to the woman about her being the most depressing person I had ever spoken to, my friend said she was glad I said that. Dodged a bullet with that one. If you think someone is crazy, they probably are.

That's like being the top fly on a dung pile.

They really need to limit the internet access at the mental institution you reside at.

Dykstra has now declared bankruptcy. The post by someone asking for stock tips reminded me to post the story of Lenny Dykstra. Anyone who watches Real Sports on HBO has seen the profiles of Lenny when he was riding high & the latest one where he's living in a house sans wife & furniture. Lenny was once the darling of Cramer & his people, now he's just another guy who gambled & lost. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2...led-for-ba.html

The most honest evaluation was quite evident: Any player who is signed for a minimal salary and gets waived before camp is, in the team's evaluation, no good. The only rookies who get cut before camp are considered as no good, otherwise they would have one of the 80 spots. Either that or the Bills are so loaded on their O line that they can afford to cut NFL caliber players before camp.

I'll watch, I'll try to go to the game that is in Hartford. I hope it's vs Las Vegas so I can see JP play one more time. I used to watch the USFL on tv & my biggest regret was not going to the final championship game-it rained at least part of that day & I just didn't feel like driving to NJ in the rain. I never got to see a USFL game in person & I'm sorry I didn't even see one in 3 years, because I was only about 50 miles away from Giants Stadium when the USFL was around. I did see an XFL game, LA vs NJ, so I got to see the league champion (Jerry Crafts was on that team) in person. I saw a bunch of arena games when the original Albany Firebirds were around & I even saw a NY Knights game at Madison Square Garden in 1988. If there's another league, I'll try to go to at least 1 game, so I have no regrets like the USFL ones. PS-I don't expect the UFL to last very long. Also: Here's my best USFL story: I'm in my car listening to a Generals-Gamblers game. In the 1st half Kelly goes down with a knee injury. The guys on the radio are saying it's a tough blow for Houston because Kelly will probably miss a few weeks. So who is the QB for Houston in the 2nd half? None other than Jimbo! I knew right then & there he was one tough son of a gun & looked forward to the day he'd be a Bill.

quarterbacks under duress to ground the ball inside or outside the pocket So now when JP gets sacked & fumbles, he'll say "I was just grounding the ball" to the ref.

It's just you. 1+1=2, but somehow you think it may =1.23456789. She bought the gun, there was gunshot residue on her hands only, she talked of suicide, her life was a mess, she had been orphaned, possibly by murder, in Iran-which may have led to her instability. It usually is what it is & nothing more, here it's definitely murder suicide. Next you'll be telling us Michael Jackson is alive & living on a desert island, soon to be joined by his kids.

I tried it & it worked fine. Unfortunately, the fares are $116 each way from Albany to Buffalo & they send the passengers to Baltimore 1st. I had to pass. Flights from Albany to other places in NY, other than JFK, seem to go through Baltimore-negating any benefits flying has. I once looked up flying to Islip and between the early arrival at the airport, going down to Baltimore, then going to Islip & arriving without a car, it was a ton easier just driving down there. Meanwhile, out in California, I'm able to fly from Oakland to LA on a Sunday for $69-nonstop! Also when I fly Southwest from Albany -Oakland or LA, I have to stop in either Chicago or Las Vegas. Southwest out of Albany is nothing special unless you're going to Baltimore, Chicago or Las Vegas.

I don't know where this land is located (and with the OP being ieatcrayonz, I'm skeptical of the post's validity) but if it's real, and the same rules apply as in NYS, you can't dry wetlands out & use them. http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/13337.html

Sarah Palin did everone a big favor today-she ended Michael Jackson's reign as lead story on all the cable news channels.

Why don't the Giants do the fiscally sound thing-sign JP Losman to replace Manning. A couple of years ago many people on this board were insisting than Losman was better than Manning-they couldn't all have been wrong.

The best ending to a reality tv show involved this topic. The show was Average Joe. So this woman chooses the good looking guy over the Average Joe, then she tells him she used to be Fabio's girlfriend. The second he hears this, he says he's out of there & it's over. She picked the guy who couldn't handle it the minute he heard she used to date Fabio.

They knew a lot more about their QBs than they were letting on.

When the Dolphins hired Cam Cameron, I said "one & done" & even correctly predicted the Dolphins to go 1-15 (about the only team I got right in 2007). There are very few chances to confidently predict a coach will be a total bust, but I think McDaniels is a pretty safe bet to go "2 & done" at most and probably more like a season & a few games, since Denver won't be bad enough to win 1 game. He may be smarter, but this guy has Hank Bullough written all over him. He's already PO'd his franchise QB enough to lose him before ever coaching a game.

Michael Jackson's will indicates that he will not be buried. It clearly states that his final wish is to be mounted & stuffed by a young boy.

Ralph is a lot more optimistic about his longevity than a lot of people on this board

Screw the PC bunch: Jackson & Sharpton hated Billy Mays ever since Michael Jackson went to take a bubble bath & poured Oxyclean in the tub by mistake...you know what happened by the time Michael got out of the tub.

She's had recurring roles on Cold Case & Lost

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090625/ap_on_...rt_strip_search Thomas warned that the majority's decision could backfire. "Redding would not have been the first person to conceal pills in her undergarments," he said. "Nor will she be the last after today's decision, which announces the safest place to secrete contraband in school."
