  1. Chicago, Minnesota, Detroit, Kansas City, and Miami will all be viable options next year.
  2. Has anyone who's at the game noticed if JP talks to Trent during the games? Often you see the backup talking to the starter when they're on the sidelines going over the plays, but I've only seen Hamdan talking to Trent.
  3. I went 0-3 this week. Plenty of statistical underachievers; anybody from Pittsburgh (Big Ben, Parker, Ward), Brian Westbrook, Donald Driver, Wes Welker, Bills defense. Had Ronnie Brown on the bench on one team.
  4. "You're right, I can hear the baby's heartbeat".
  5. But, but, Dukakis was a governor like Sarah Palin, so he must have been ready to be president. Is McCain another Bob Dole; an old war hero out of touch with the realities of today??
  6. Bill Clinton wants to know where all you "who cares" folks were when he was running for president. He cheated on his wife, but even he didn't marry his mistress like McCain did.
  7. Can the Republicans run away from their ideology and policies any faster? The Bush/McCain/Graham party of deregulation, laissez-faire, and tax cuts without budget cuts, now wants to blame the Democrats? That's rich. No, that's super rich!
  8. I didn't say it was good or bad, I thought it was funny. And maybe some insight as to why he selected Palin instead of an experienced Republican woman; she has the background he likes in his women.
  9. While John McCain attended his 50th Naval Academy reunion Saturday, a Brazilian beauty fondly recalled the affair she had with the young "good kissing" midshipman she met a half a century ago. "He was tasty, loving and romantic," says Maria Gracinda Teixeira de Jesus, 77, a former beauty queen and dancer, of the young John McCain, whom she met in Rio de Janeiro in 1957. I called him 'John' but he was my dear and my coconut dessert. Asked about John in bed, Gracinda says, "Of course we had sex...he was not only good at kissing but good at everything." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2...io_affair_.html
  10. Yeah, I can honestly say it wouldn't be interpreted as racist. He also is younger looking than presidents on bills, maybe he's pointing out that not having white hair and looking young doesn't mean he wouldn't be an effective president. McCain's campaign has found other ways to remind voters that Obama is black. When they mock him for being a community organizer, that's an attempt to make voters think he's one of those urban black activists who complain about the injustices done by whites like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, as opposed to the real work he did helping people get job retraining and housing.
  11. Any of the erectile dysfuncition commercials. Who are all these guys that can't get it up? And we really don't need our wives seeing romantic commericials when we're trying to watch football, it just reminds them to be mad at us for paying attention to football instead of them.
  12. So you're saying liberals are better protesters and don't give up so easily...
  13. I remember when Bush ran for president how people thought he would improve relations with Latin America because he came from Texas and spoke Spanish. That worked out well.
  14. 16 games and the Bills are best. Yo ho ho and watch Marshawn run. Time to put Al Davis to his rest. Yo ho ho and the Raiders are done. Brett Favre is a New York Jest. Yo ho ho beating him will be fun.
  15. Damn, the service at McDonalds is too slow as it is. I don't worry about my 401k, I'm assuming I'll be dead before I can take advantage of it, and why should my wife have so much fun without me.
  16. I'd say you were, if you also were on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, drafted legislation to secure nuclear material, talked about issues with world leaders in those countries, and had been debating foreign policy for the last few years. Not so much if you just started travelling overseas last year.
  17. That's like saying the backup driver in an auto race doesn't need to be ready to drive the car, because they're not starting the race.
  18. "The irony is that this critique puts Mr. McCain in the same camp as some of the Wall Street CEOs who have led their firms so poorly." Maybe Carly was right, he's not qualified to run a company.
  19. This is OK, but McCain attacks Obama because he voted for educating kindergarteners on how to avoid and report sexual predators. "Kids, we can't talk about the strange man in the raincoat you see outside, but we can tell you about how to prepare for a nuclear attack".
  20. Actually our kids and grandkids are bailing us out. Since we're already in deficit spending, any further spending like the $1 billion we're giving to rebuild the country of Georgia, we have to borrow from the Chinese and any other country who wants to make us further indebted to them.
  21. "She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said Wednesday in an interview. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything." "I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,'" he said. "That kind of thing is insulting to the American people." "I think it's a stretch to, in any way, to say that she's got the experience to be president of the United States," Hagel said. http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=2835...;u_sid=10435997
  22. It's semantics; the proper wording would be that 95% of Americans will not have their taxes increase, and of those that pay taxes, they will get a tax cut. A flat tax is regressive against lower income taxpayers; someone making $50k and paying 20% in taxes is going to feel the impact much more in basic spending needs (home, food, gas, healthcare, education) than someone making $5 million.
  23. Voters could still write-in their choices, but it would make it more confusing, and could suppress voter turnout which could affect down-ticket candidates in Texas.
  24. The problem in this case is the subpoena was issued by the legislature, not a judge, and therefore if it's ignored it takes a vote by the full legislature to hold them in contempt. And isn't it convienient that they don't come back until January, so it will get kicked down the road until after the election. Politicians never learn that the coverup usually ends up worse than what they did, it makes it look like they're trying to hide something. If there's nothing to hide, then cooperate.
