  1. The class war has been going on for years, and the wealthy have been winning while the middle class has been losing. The wealthy did just fine at the Clinton era tax levels.
  2. I was actually looking forward to seeing Enroth play. I expect them to lose to Carolina anyways given their lack of offense. And I'd take Vanek at 50% than some of the others at 100%. Even if he could just play the power play.
  3. The Conservative Political Action Conference is going on in Washington. Some of the presentations include: -Al Franken and ACORN: How Liberals are Destroying the American Election System -The Key to Victory? Listen to Conservatives -Youth for Western Civilization Inaugural Reception -Will Obama’s Tax Policy Kill Entrepreneurship? -Will Congress Take Your Guns? -How Many Crimes Did You Commit Today? -The True Cost Of Global Warming Hysteria -Threats to Our National Sovereignty -Sarah Palin Unplugged on the Media Video Interview Speakers include Ann Coulter, Ralph Reed, Rush Limbaugh, Steven Baldwin, and Phyllis Schlafly. http://www.cpac.org/agenda_20708.html There will be the annual CPAC Straw Poll, in which conference attendees will vote on which politician should win the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. The results to be released on Saturday. Here are the choices on the ballot: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, and Undecided. There's also space on the ballot for a write-in-candidate. Who is your choice, and who do you think would have the best chance against Obama?
  4. It's acknowledged so much because it was a turning point in comics. Along with The Dark Knight Returns, it started the era of gritter stories about heroes with questionable character and methods, who often broke the rules in order to enforce them, and has had a lasting effect on the comic industry.
  5. If you prefer cartoon sex, I'd say you're the one not getting it!
  6. They could show ties, 10-5-3, won 10, lost 5, tied 3. Give the remaining holes to the winner, that's the bonus of kicking the other guy's butt. Or play all the holes regardless of score.
  7. Isn't it time we got some corporate sponsorship for space exploration? Paint the Coca-Cola or McDonalds logo for a few million on every future space launch and equipment. Every bit helps. Imagine what they could get for putting logos on the next Mars explorer. Paint it up like a race car if it helps pay the bills.
  8. Rumors are that the Sabres might try to pick up another goalie if they think Miller will be out awhile. Maybe even Marty Biron. With Enroth up, Portland is down to their 4th and 5th goalie options. Adam Dennis is out with a hip injury, and Enroth's latest backup John DeCaro just broke his collarbone. http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.ph...88&ac=PHspt
  9. Raquel Welch > Betty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Raquel_w...lionyearsbc.jpg
  10. All our great visual technological advances can be attributed to the demand for porn; VCRs, video recorders, pay-per-view TV, DVDs, and the internet. Support the economy.
  11. Why not just keep it simple and say he won 12 holes, the other guy won 6, so he won 12-6. And if the the guy's is ahead by 6 holes with 5 left, just add those 5 to his score. So every score totals 18. That's like tennis with the love, 15, 30, etc., why not just go 1,2,3,4.
  12. You're right, it's tonight after midnight. ESPN is having a live NFL Live special on at that time to discuss FA and report any quick signings.
  13. 12 - Jim Kelly - Quarterback 2 - Steve Christie - Kicker 55 - Paul Maguire - Punter 32 - O.J. Simpson - Running Back 83 - Andre Reed - Wide Receiver 44 - Elbert Dubenion - Wide Receiver 81 - Bob Chandler - Wide Receiver 88 - Pete Metzelaars - Tight End 68 - Joe DeLamielleure - Offensive Line 67 - Kent Hull - Offensive Line 67 - Reggie McKenzie - Offensive Line 66 - Billy Shaw - Offensive Line 51 - Jim Ritcher - Offensive Line 89 - Steve Tasker - Special Teams
  14. It doesn't matter what was meant, what matters is what was perceived. And many people perceived it to be a racist comment due to the history of comparing blacks to monkeys. It was a lack of sensitivity and/or knowledge of history by the editors of the Post to not be smart enough to recognize the uproar it would cause. As a white person I am in no position to tell blacks what should or shouldn't offend them, and neither are you if you're not black.
  15. Too bad Bush and the Repubs didn't believe your opinion about throwing money around. Why did the Democrats win so many seats? Because most that switched were moderate Repubs in moderate districts that had similar views on many issues as Dems, but blindly supported Bush's policies when it came time to vote. They put party ahead of good policy. So voters rejected them for supporting Bush's failed policies, and are unlikely to switch back again. Fool me once, shame on you... The remaining Repubs are in more conservative districts, and unless and until the Repubs change their positions on trickle down economics and social restrictions on individual rights, they will continue to become a regionalized party. Maybe Hip-Hop Steele will help change their positions, but I doubt it.
  16. You mean like Reagan was when the Soviet Union collapsed from its internal policies.
  17. Jim Braxton was the best. A fullback capable of rushing for over 100 yards and a great blocker.
  18. So you agree that the cartoon was out of line and racial? And they don't want to destroy anyone, just hold them accountable for their actions. They should have apologized at the start, instead of waiting until they felt they had to do damage control. One thing that I haven't seen reported much that puts the cartoon in a different context is that on the opposite page of the Post cartoon was a story about "Obama's stimulus program". In light of that, it's easier to understand why people would think the cartoon was referencing Obama.
  19. It wasn't the Democrats that supported cutting taxes while fighting two wars which weren't included in the budget, that was Bush and the then-Republican majority. And the Republicans want to still continue that failed budget policy. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed the ridiculous statements must have come from the right wing talking heads, not from someone you knew. Sorry.
  20. Conan O'brien's NU Set? I thought Bush and Cheney took care of this. Wasn't Iraq supposed to show the world what would happen if someone just talked about having WMD? This is like moving into an apartment, and every closet door you open reveals another mess the old tenants left.
  21. Holder could be president tomorrow. WASHINGTON (CNN) — Attorney General Eric Holder will be the cabinet member not attending President Obama’s speech tonight to Congress in the House chamber for security reasons, a Justice Department official tells CNN. The official said Holder will be staying at an undisclosed location. By tradition, one cabinet member does not attend such speeches in case of disaster, since so many other government leaders are vulnerable in one place. Customarily, the absent official is a member of the national security team.
  22. The first thing I thought of when they cut it out was, since it's covered with blood, wouldn't they put it in a bag or wear gloves? Jack handles it and then gives it to an agent. Who's the Vice President? I don't recall seeing him. Could it be Jon Voigt?
  23. If people are objective and vote based on what happened on the field, he would win. Would he be invited to attend if he wins? I expect that Thurman will win because alot of voters will judge OJ based on his off field activity.
  24. What that 'someone' Rush or Hannity? Democrats driving this country into the ground? That's like the Republican driver blaming the Democrat tow truck driver because it's taking longer and costing more to get their Mercedes out of the ditch they drove it into, because they're in a hurry to get right back on the road so they can continue to drive recklessly. You mean the irresponsible people who cut taxes while fighting two wars which weren't included in the budget, and then voted for large increases in federal spending? Those irresponsible people? Bush and the Republican majority?
  25. I heard they already made the patch for the 15th anniversary of the last time they made the playoffs, and they brought Dick back to make sure they don't have to throw them out before the anniversary happens.
