You were the one touting Jauron's greatness, so your opinion doesn't matter.

I'll take hops over grapes any day of the week. There are so many styles of beers to choose from and enjoy. Here is an interesting beer chart describing different styles. Among others, I like Scottish ales, Amber ales, and English brown ales.

Good one.

I'm glad to hear about the rigorous background checks as well. I hear the Big Brother commercials on GR online. The first thing that I thought of was perverts getting involved in the program. They are actually known for targeting such situations. Child molesters will put themselves in situations in which they come into contact with kids and usually as an authority figure ( such as boy scouts, priesthood, dating a single mom with kids, or being a party clown) so you can never be too careful. To end on a positive note, it sounds like a great program for the vast majority of people who get involved with the right intentions.

I Danny Dubersteined the !@#$ out of that man in there! The Office and Enthusiasm are the two best shows on TV. This was a very funny season of CYE.

When you outlaw red zones, only outlaws will use red zones.

Right here sweetheart. The health care bill is only part of anti-Obama stance. Furthermore, when you say that "the majority of Americans value something different than you", I assume you are referring to the election results. Well there is a disconnect between the Obama that people voted for and the Obama they are coming to know. His approval rating is below 50%. He is losing independents and moderate democrats in droves.

Only 35% of Americans are in favor of Government controlled health care.

Believe it or not, I do have other things to do and watching South Park isn't one of them.

... says the resident South Park philosopher. How did I manage before Al Gore's wonderful invention? BTW, not a GB fan but I am thankful that Fox News and Rush Limabaugh are around to counterbalance the numerous liberal outlets. ... And guess who has the ratings... Link.

Hammered a lot would have stroked out at a Guns-N-Roses concert. B-b-b-but the ticket says 7:30!

Agreed. After all of the gimmicks, they've finally found a good combination.

Love the Avatar. White Stripes rule!

Thank you for your riveting contribution to the discussion.

In order for an anti-christ to exist, christ would have had to exist. Since christ was a creation of the Romans, Slayer's shtick is mere folly.

I can't believe this thread lasted this long without anyone posting this... So here it goes...

Exactly. This is what got Obama elected... 1. Resounding media support. 2. Teleprompter messages. 3. Hope and Change! 4. Yes we can! Quite a sad state of affairs when the general public can't look past the dog and pony show and see the true intentions of their "historic candidate".

You make a lot of good points. First the part about Korea and Vietnam. I've always said that the biggest secret of U.S history is that we have fought two wars against China and our record is no wins, one loss, and a tie. Now they hold all the cards because they fund our federal government. China is holding $776 billion in US Treasury Securities. We pay them $6.1 million dollars per day in interest. Pretty sweet, huh? Secondly, the part about the government telling us what to think and do, most people are too busy in their daily lives to pay attention to what is going on. They watch CNN and listen to NPR and take what they hear at face value. Never taking time to question the answers or consider the political slant of the information that they are being given.

I hope that this post doesn't get bounced to PPP, because I find that only a small portion of TSW'ers participate there, and the one's who do are fimly entrenched in their political ideology. I've been watching WW2 in HD on the History Channel this week. It served as a reminder of how great this country once was. We mobilized, fought, sacrificed for, and won a world war on two major fronts. It is quite a shame and a sham to see what has become of this once great country and it's political leadership. We've got a president traveling to Asia and apologizing for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Bowing to the Japanese Emperor. Telling the Chinese that we will no longer be so arrogant as to try to spread our ideals to the rest of the world. We have an administration that is pushing us towards greater Government control and less individual liberty. An administration that feels that America has had it too good for too long and would like to see us settle in with the rest of the pack. I say !@#$ that! The America that I love is the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are not followers, we are leaders! The America that our current administration would like to see us become is not the America that over 400,000 U.S. soldiers fought and died for. As a matter of fact, I believe that every one of them, to a man, would spit in the face of the ideology that the current administration holds dear. I present the following passage from the Declaration on Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. It is not likely to go this far in this day and age, but people really need to pay attention to the direction in which the current administration has our country heading. We the people must ensure that this truly is a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Too many good people have sacrificed for our traditional American ideals to have them thrown away now. Paul Simon said it best in "Have a Good Time"... So God bless the goods we was given And God bless the U. S. of A. And God bless our standard of livin' Let's keep it that way And we'll all have a good time...

Exactly. I've been in Charlotte for nearly 15 years and prior to that, have lived and traveled literally all over the world. I was born in WNY and always touched down there as my home town, and I must say that the residents of WNY own the patent on misery and negativity. And as you know, misery loves company. I really hated Jauron and felt like there was absolutely no chance of success under his "leadership". Now that he is gone, I have my usual enthusiasm towards the team back. Let's support Fewell and see what he can do with this squad and what moves Ralph makes going forward. Canning Dick and eating Dick's remaining contract was a huge move by Ralph. It was definitely a step in the right direction, so let's ease up on the pessimism and see where this thing goes. Call me the new C.Biscuit!

Do you mean like this... "Anybody that says I'm cheap is looking down the wrong side of the street," Wilson said.

Then why not just say... " I will not comment on candidates at this time"? Much easier, no?

I don't know, I found that answer to be pretty odd. At face value, " I don't know anything about (Mike Shanahan) him" is a pretty bizarre reply. I suppose you are an expert at interpreting what Ralph Wilson means though. If your assessment of the situation is correct, isn't it still odd that Ralph would say that he doesn't know anything about a man he's negotiating with?

It figures he would be a Pats fan.
