  1. No, I'm not OK with the US breaking international law and numerous treaties because...  Oh, I dunno.  Maybe because the leader of another nation threatened harm upon another's dad once upon a time?

     

    But the thing that all of the Bushies keep failing to recognize is that there's a world of difference between passing a resolution for diplomatic posturing and ordering an invasion.

     

    The fact that they were under-manned and underequipped is just a case-in-point on the incompetence of the president and his cronies.

    How about Saddam was in violation of the 14 UN resolutions. He violated the treaty or cease fire (I don't remember which) that ended Gulf War I.

  2. Only saw the second half, but it was great. Love that they put the disclaimer "This is what the Scientologists actually believe" on the screen. It is too bizarre to think that it isn't made up. The ending looked like a dare by Matt and Trey to the Scientologists.

  3.  

    In some town in CA (now pay attention here BiB), detonating a nuclear weapon within the town lines is illegal and punishable by up to a $500 fine - but no jail time.  Apparently, it's only a misdemeanor.  <_<

    Probably Berkeley. They have signs at the city line saying "nuclear free zone" with the radiation symbol with the no sign over it. This is the city that is the birthplace of the cyclotron and still has one at Cal!

  4. I think they definitely jumped the shark when the helicopter fell out of the sky onto Dr. Romano (the jerk dr whose arm was cut off by a helicopter on the hospital roof previously).

     

    So, when exactly do "sweeps" run from and to?  I would guess that most shows that do jump the shark jump when they are in hotter water.

    I didn't know until I saw a "where are they now?" show that Dr. Romano was the red haired angst ridden actor in the movie Fame (which I have only seen in channel surfing).

  5. On that failed flea flicker, Aiken was 40 yards downfield all alone. Willis was right to eat it. The Chiefs were in on Holcomb.

     

    I hate the trick plays because we execute them so poorly.

    When I saw this play i mentioned Willis has a good head on his shoulders. If he would have blindly flipped it back to Holcomb, it would have been a sack or fumble. At least we got about 3 yards on it.

  6. They tried it a few years back, and apparently the ratings suffered or the Left Coasters complained louder b/c the game started at 5 their time, even tho the population of the U.S. is overwhelmingly concentered East of the Mississippi/Continental Divide/ midwestern topographical feature of your choice.

     

    Likewise, I almost never make it to halftime. Games often last to 12:30 - 1 a.m., and it's ever creeping longer now with them adding in more commercials.

    Actually the population center is in Missouri now which is west of the Mississippi.

    I love the 6 PM start time. I can watch MNF as I am working out.

  7. Or, "General Motors Engine Specifications."

     

    (Especially when they have designs where you need to take apart half the engine and be triple-jointed just to be able to reach the oil filter, for those of us who are too frugal and untrusting to let another man touch your car except for major repairs.)

    You're too young to remember the Chevy Monza, made in the mid 70s. One group of engineers designed the engine and another the body. End result, You had to loosen the motor mounts on one side to change the spark plugs. Chevy offered to do it for free once it was known what happened.

     

    The Pontuiac Fiero was a 2 seat sports car with a mid engine. The car was so narrow and short, that the driver had to sit at a slight angle. The wheel well took up part of the space straight ahead. The trunk (in front) could only hold a twelve pack and it had a mini-spare (like most cars do today. Because of the small trunk, if you had a passenger and a flat tire, one of them had to be left at the side of the road.

  8. You will not regret it.  This man will put Buffalo on the map in a positive way.  He'll work his ass off to get Buffalo back on it's feet and he'll make the tough decisions that will have to be made. 

     

    Tomorrow Buffalo is at the crossroads....please take the road less traveled and vote for Kevin Helfer.

    The only guy that can save Buffalo is Jimmy Griffin! :o
