OK, but why do I have to wait?

I share your concerns. Maybe my views are outside the mainstream, but I am often astounded at how little most people value privacy. I don't know if they're ignorant of the extent to which their privacy is disappearing, or if they know and just don't care. As just one example, you could not pay me to join Facebook: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-03/12/facebook-personality-predictions

Are you under the impression that Nix can negotiate more favorable deals with other GMs if they believe he is the sharpest tool in the shed, and therefore someone they need to be very wary of dealing with?

Not responding to anybody in particular, but if anybody wants to actually figure out the legality and consequences of the original recording and its later publication, this is a good resource: http://www.dmlp.org/...d-conversations Edit: Sorry, didn't realize the link was previously posted - - very rapid thread.

My youngest brother Darryl says that by definition, any country with nukes is significant - - but Momma often says he jest ain't right. Roll Tide.

With Goodell's increased focus on player safety, we could just make Tuel wear a better helmet if he needs protection.

Let's say we sign the guy. With Wang already gone, Levitre probably leaving and Wood out of the lineup hurt much of the time, what long term hope is there for our Tuel?

Looking at the green splotch on the color-coded map, WTF do they call it in New Mexico? The light green splotch catches the eye, but there's a nearby dark green county where over 80% call it something else. Is that Roswell, NM?

I'll see your Bob Marley, and raise you the "Whalers:" #!

If the Bills wind up with Manziel, and Johnny Football gets five years of star football QB pay without getting five years of head trauma in the process, that's win/win.

Well sure, but for those who don't know Jack, there's a problem.

Well I suppose if we go wildcat and split Johnny Football out wide maybe he could catch something. I don't know if he has good hands but he's pretty quick and e-lucid.

So now you're in Congress?

It wasn't an attack chopper, it was "search and rescue" because you disappeared from the "Democrat's Convention" thread.

I thought this was gonna be from the Onion.

From September 16, 2011:

Actually, you and I might agree that anyone dating Nancy Pelosi should wear a condom, but if all you do is jump to conclusions and hurl insults, you'll never know, because I'm likely to respond in kind. BTW, that doesn't mean "kindly."

No need, he's not dating your sister. Roll Tide.

In the truth is stranger than fiction category, William Sanderson, the character actor pictured in my avatar, played: 1. Larry in TV's Bob Newhart Show, where he was famous for the catchphrase: "Hi. I'm Larry. This is my brother Darryl... This is my other brother Darryl." 2. J. F. Sebastian, a genetic designer with Methuselah Syndrome, who made his own Toy-friends in the classic sci-fi movie Blade Runner. As far as I know, Larry never claimed to have genetically engineered any of his Darryl brothers. Roll Tide.

My youngest brother Darryl wants to know if any of this will prevent him from spreading his seed (he's got a hot date).

Dang, wish I had thought of that! Who put you up to this? Roll Tide.

Hey GG, Up-thread, you accused me of posting "drivel" and "crap." When I asked you why I should believe that you know what you're talking about on the Duke Energy tax deduction issue, you refused to answer, and specifically stated in "The Drones Are Coming" thread that you were refusing to answer because I'm a troll. As I mentioned above, I don't know a lot about corporate tax accounting. But you know what? An Internet search engine is a powerful tool. It's like having the Library of Congress in your basement. So let's review what you've posted in this thread, and then take a look around the web to see if it stands up to scrutiny. Maybe we can figure out who's really posting "crap." Maybe it's me, for suggesting that there was at least a possibility that Duke Energy's tax deduction wasn't legitimate. So can corporations deduct worthless debts as a business expense? Let's try a google search, and see what we can find: http://www.lmgtfy.co...rty as bad debt Turns out there's a federal law ("section 166") that says, in most situations, they can: http://codes.lp.find...26/A/1/B/VI/166 So far, it looks like you do know a thing or two about corporate tax accounting. Problem is, there's more than a couple things you need to know. If you read the rest of the statute from the same link, you find this little gem: So let's take a look at section 271 of the law, and see if there's a different rule for worthless debts of "political parties and similar organizations:" http://law.justia.co....1.0.5.196.html Duke Energy isn't a bank. So in the article linked in the OP, the Duke Energy official who said that Duke Energy could deduct the amount owed to it here as a business expense was a lazy or clueless windbag. Nobody else - - just the Duke Energy guy. Twern't that hard to look up. Roll Tide.

I believe you. But upon reflection, if the world truly is "full of misinformation" then statistically the odds are I'm being misled here, but not aware of it. You're saying Incarcerated Bob is often wrong, but according to you that's likely to be misinformation, so I guess the bottom line is I should believe what Incarcerated Bob says.

Every once in a while I do a Google search on Toronto and the NFL just to see what turns up. Hadn't done one in a quite a while, so today's turned up the article below. Although it's from December, 2012, it was never mentioned in this thread, and I don't recall seeing it elsewhere on TSW (maybe I just missed it). Wonder what the unspecified "Rogers "person" meant back when the deal was first made when he referred to the Bills in Toronto series as "a five-year life insurance policy" on Ralph Wilson? It's kind of ambiguous, but one possible interpretation is that Rogers expects to somehow get paid when Ralph passes. That's what happens when you buy a life insurance policy. http://www.torontosun.com/2012/12/16/whats-the-point-for-the-bills Things obviously didn't turn out the way the Rogers corporate people hoped with respect to ticket sales and fan turnout, and Ted Rogers is dead, yet they renewed, despite knowing about the 7 year lease extension in Buffalo? Makes me wonder what their "game plan" is now, and why.
