My wife had it done a few years ago in Niagara Falls. It was uncomfortable to wear contacts, and it was getting to the point where she would need trifocals. She had no complications, but does have to wear generic reading glasses that you can buy at a drugstore for close up. I've thought about it, but I'm worried that I'd be the 5% that have some bad complications. I'd like to keep my eyesight until the Bills or Sabres win a championship.

There was time to have a revote in June, but Obama wouldn't agree to it so the proposals couldn't go forward. Include the popular votes in Florida and Michigan, and Hillary is ahead by about 133,000. He didn't want a revote because he figured he would lose by a larger margin than what happened in the first votes.

If you didn't tip the strippers so much you could afford the meal. I just realized I picked the same as you, without looking at your list beforehand.

Spoken like a true Obama supporter. How can Clinton steal something that nobody has won? Obama hasn't reached 2025, and won't with pledged delegates. The rules don't say the person with the most pledged delegates wins, it's the one who gets 2025. Otherwise it's up to the candidates to convince the superdelegates that they're the best candidate. And don't whine about how it's disinfranchising the voters unless you're willing to count Florida and Michigan or let them revote, neither of which Obama was willing to do. Obama supporters just keep wishing Hillary would quit so Obama could be given the nomination before his rope-a-dope strategy fails. Sorry, but until somebody gets 2025, it has to be earned. Worry less about Hillary and more about how Obama is going to convince blue collar white voters that he better represents their interests.

Aforementioned Stu Barnes, Phillppe Boucher (Dallas), Hasek (Detroit), Jillson (Colorado), Fitzpatrick (Philly), and Conklin (Pittsburgh).

There weren't any tight ends rated high enough for even the Jets to pick.

Jets - Vernon Gholston, (DE)

Actually it's Julie Nixon Eisenhower who is supporting Obama. Patricia Nixon Cox is a strong supporter of McCain; her husband, Ed Cox, served as state chairman for his New York primary campaign.

What do you have against Washington, a young, exciting team on the rise? I definitely want Washington and San Jose. That would set up a 2nd round of Montreal-Rangers, Pittsburgh-Washington, Detroit-Colorado, and San Jose-Dallas.

I'm suprised Artie came back alive from Amsterdam. Any word on what he did there or if he fired his assistant?

Condiments in the fridge, along with the bread, but keep the stick of butter out so it's soft to spread.

With our luck the Patriots will get him for a 4th round draft pick.

All the flaccid scenes?

I guess that shoots down the theory that he used Ric Flair's theme song to get the wrestling crowd to buy tickets to the movie.

The two games against the Pats, since you want to beat the best team in the division to have a chance of winning it, and the Cleveland Monday night game because the Bills need some positive national exposure and it's a team the Bills may be competing with for a wildcard.

You would rather she took an extremist view of no gun restrictions or a total ban instead of a moderate position? That makes sense. And once again someone goes over the deep end comparing Hillary to Hitler. A legendary hatred of the military, based on what specifics?

Clinton recently touted her experience with guns as a young child. "You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl," Clinton said in Valparaiso, Indiana, on Saturday. "Some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It's part of culture. It's part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it's an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter." Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group co-chaired by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, plans to spend more than $1 million to air a television ad beginning this week urging Congress to close a loophole by forcing buyers at gun shows to undergo a federal background check. The ad, which will air in Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, Maryland and Florida, features clips from all three major presidential candidates. "I'll be on your side for closing the gun show loophole," Clinton says. "Crack down on them. Close the gun show loopholes," Obama says. And McCain adds, "Convicted criminals have been able to buy and sell thousands of guns at gun shows because of a loophole in the law. Close the loophole." "There is not a contradiction between protecting the Second Amendment rights of Americans and figuring out how we can keep, for example, assault weapons off the street," Clinton said on Saturday. Clinton has been a supporter of gun control during her time in office. She voted for a 10-year extension of the assault weapons ban and voted for requiring extensive background checks at gun shows. She also supports licensing and registration of handguns, mandatory trigger locks for handguns, holding adults responsible for their children's use of guns, raising the youth handgun ban from age 18 to 21, limiting gun sales to one per month and allowing the Consumer Products Safety Commission to regulate guns.

Lieberman is the 2008 version of Zell Miller. I wouldn't be suprised if he speaks at the Republican convention. The sooner he's removed as chairman the better.

She never said she was an avid or recent hunter, she just said she learned to shoot and hunted with her father when she was younger and shot a duck. And she has been consistant in advocating gun control such as the Brady bill, background checks, and trying to get handguns off the street. She hasn't advocated any bans on guns used for hunting. You can disagree with her call for gun control, but she has been consistant in her position.

We do our taxes in early March as soon as we get all our earnings info, and we try to set our withholdings so we get a little back. Don't want to send a check, and don't want the gov't holding too much surplus that we could invest and get a higher rate of return.

Depending on who wins, in the next round the Rangers could be playing Pittsburgh with Georges Laraque or Washington with Donald Brashear.

Read one article that said Avery has also had a running commentary going with Brodeur about Marty's old divorce. Reminds me of Slap Shot when Paul Newman got a goalie mad by saying the goalie's wife liked women. Also in the article: The late Roger Neilson would devise ways to tiptoe around hockey norms if not the rule book -- while coaching in Peterborough he once used a defenseman instead of a goalie to challenge the surprised shooter on a penalty shot, and would tell his goalies to leave their sticks lying across the crease when he pulled them for an extra attacker -- and was subsequently hailed as an eccentric hockey genius, an impish man who knew how to think outside the box. When Avery pulls something unorthodox, he is excoriated as a scoundrel who deserves to be in the box. I wonder why nobody's tried that, as the goalie is about to leave the ice for an extra attacker, he could break his stick and lay it in the crease to try to deflect any pucks shot on the ice. They couldn't give him a penalty because you have to drop your stick if it breaks.

He's the kind of guy you hate unless he's on your team, then you love him. Remember when the Sabres had Matthew Barnaby, or Tie Domi for Toronto. They agitate and try to get the other team to think of them instead of the game. To a degree that's what Kaleta did this year with his checking, drawing alot of attention and getting some to take penalties.

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
