I'll wait and see on this... Lincoln we know had flaws that makes him vulnerable (particularly his handling of Indian matters), but who knows? Aside from the thigh comment, I really found no other example of something that makes you go hmmm. Needless to say, his private life is not nearly as important as the study of his public life and deeds, whether good or bad.
This is what I hate about modern historical studies. They always try to fit a political agenda rather than looking at the facts and drawing a neutral conclusion. Moral relativism is far too prevalent in today's historical academia.
I can't tell you how many times I was FORCED to call out my professors for trying to inject modern viewpoints and judgements on ancient and medieval figures.
Ridiculous.

Cowherd is an arrogant buffoon, I agree. I like Mike+Mike and Dan Patrick, tho.

As I get older(age 35) and my available freetime dwindles, I have decide which sports I want to play or stop playing. I have grown up playing sports. My friendships and my relationship with my father hinges on sports (not comepletely, but to a large degree).
My dilemma, is that I am not that good at most of them. As a huge sports fan, it is difficult to admit, but it is true. I currently play ice hockey in a mens league. I do ok in a "B" level league, but I am playing in Florida. I have been playing golf for 10 years now and I just can't get better (I try and try- do all types of reading, take lessons) it helps but I still suck. I do excell in softball, but i haven't played in a few years because my friends aren't interested. Growing up, I was very competitive in baseball. I did ok in football and basketball.
My wife heather and I just had our first baby a month ago (time and money are limited) and I am trying plan what sports I can afford to do and which sports make me feel good about myself. Golf just seems to destroy my self esteem. I am trying to find a sport I can play and be really good at on an extreamly limited time schedule. My question to you is, how do you react to not being good at a sport? Do you accept your limitations and simply enjoy the game? Must you be great at your sport to continue playing it? Does being a bad player crush you, like it does me? For those of you in my shoes, how do you handle it?
I think I will start playing softball again, but I also think about fishing because how can you be bad at fishing??? Just someone who wishes they could walk the walk like they talk the talk about sports. Doug in Clearwater.
Try bowling. I'm just about the same age as you, and I use bowling not only for fitness, but a means of socialization.
I love my league.
You oculd also weight-lift and run

So true, so true...Gotta love PA...
Eagle Nation, it must be submitted, exists.In its honor, we present our Philly Anecdote of the week, from a reader who goes only by "Eric from Philly." In Eric's tale, some pre-game tailgating -- beer and Hibachis -- was getting good before the season-opener against the Giants a few years back. "One of the guys in the next car over is pretty ripped -- and it's going on 10 a.m.," writes Eric. "He's doing a lot of yelling."
Here's where Eric's tale takes off: "Unfortunately, after inhaling a balloon filled with nitrous, while standing, he passes out -- falling right on top of my buddy's Hibachi. The flames are shooting out the sides -- but he's not moving. A quick thinker grabbed his belt loop and lifted him off the Hibachi. Moments later, he comes to, and stands up.
His shirt is in tatters and falling off. His chest is burned. He likely requires some immediate first-aid. He looks down at his charred remains and yells: 'Whoo-Hoo! I'm on fire for the Eagles!'"
Eagle Nation rarely disappoints.
I nearly lost it redaing that!!

Not yet, but I will in a month or two. I'm looking at building a dual Opteron 246 (or possibly dual Opteron 248, if the price ever comes down a bit). Most people probably don't need dual CPUs; however, I do video editing and the extra power for rendering would be *very* nice. Plus, I've been spoiled with my current dual-Xeon 933MHz configuration for the past 3 years... (it was awesome at the time...).
Why do you ask?

Don't waste your time building a dual-proc ssytem when dual-core processors are going to be on the market in one year.

I got about $150. Would have been more like $1500 had I been here before June 1.
My current employer is EXTREMELY generous. They actually gave us extra days off around Xmas and NYD.

See how simple it really is?
There's a reason Euro governments are trying to shed their outmoded socialist programs....they've been crippled in the global economy. The reason we kick the snot out of them in the market is because we have less government as opposed to their more intrusive federal systems.
Go back to listening to your top-40 crap, err, music.
Sooo what's the deal with this?

I just love when civilians pass judgement on soldiers or the military as a whole.
I'll say it again, the more that I hear from some of my fellow citizens the more I believe Heinlein had it right.
