They are a little behind the times.

My guess is that he was trying to beat the DQ.

I am no expert on the AI rules, but wouldn't this be a violation of the rules which could have disqualified him?

Sounds like what we are doing now. The difference is that we are trying to rescue a program that was doooomed from the start.

Obviously a Photoshop job. There is no way that nature can survive when the EEEEVIIIIILLLL oil conglomerates get their hands on that land. It's true. MoveOn.org and the DNC said so. They wouldn't lie to me, would they?

Overly simplified solution: Make SS voluntary. That way, the people who want to rely on greedy politicians who have proven that they cannot effectively manage my money can do that. The people who feel that they would rather handle their own money can do that and not have SS taken out of their paychecks. If SS goes bankrupt, oh well. You gambled and lost. If your private account goes belly up, oh well you gambled and lost. If you do not rely on SS and choose to not invest money in your retirement, oh well. Sucks to be you. Here are your choices: 1) Have the politicians, who have proven to be irresponsible with your money, be responsible for your retirement by investing in a system that is doomed to fail 2) Invest my own money where there is only a potential to fail but I have control over how it is invested and how much risk I am willing to take. The choice seems clear to me.

Well, not amazingly since I was just listing things off the top of my head and stated that the list was not complete. They have tried to address a small portion of healthcare costs in the form of tort reform. I do not see this having that much of an effect since the HMOs will still find a way to keep costs high, regardless of lawsuit settlements. Where tort reform will help, hopefully, is in the cost for doctors to do business.

Honestly, other than budget debates regarding the wars, there is not much for them to do. Now you have the right idea about other things being a higher priority (in no specific order): Intelligence reform Confirmations of new appointees Social Security Reform Medicare Reform Budget proposals Drilling in ANWR etc... This baseball crap is meaningless and is nothing more than politicians looking for facetime.

I wouldn't support that tactic. They obviously won the PR battle and there is no need to sink to the embarrassingly low level of the UAW.

Such a simple concept, but so difficult for some to grasp.

Sorry, but I cannot buy into your first statement. Your second is true, but I have a problem with the first. You cannot sell a war by being against it. You can sell opposition to a war, but you cannot sell the war itself by being negative about the war.

The weather is too perfect?

Where is that F-You smilie?

I hear you on that. I am going through the same thing with my MS program. Between the writing and the reading, there is not much time for anything else.

That is exactly the reasons why I would never enter journalism as a profession. My uncle was in radio back when things were still respectable. Now, it has gone completely over the edge. I will stick with writing books. I have had football articles published in the past, but it was all from a historical perspective and I stuck with trade publications, not mainstream media.

Do you think SDS will make up an icon, like he did with OT?

7-9? You are pretty optimistic today, aren't you? I thought you were more of the 3-13 type.

Nice. Good for the Marines.

I agree with you there.

As someone who has seen it from both sides (in the audience and on stage performing), I have to disagree. I have seen tons of bar bands where the front man does not even come close to Bo. I am not saying he has the best voice. He doesn't, but he has the entire package necessary to be a successful front man, which is more than you get with most bar bands. There is no way he wins AI. They are looking for a pop singer, not a rock singer.

I never noticed the lazy eye. His voice is extremely clear and he has amazing control over it. There is no question he is the best singer in the competition.

I have to disagree on Bo. His voice is not as good as Anwar's, but he definitely is not overrated. He also has a good stage presence which is something you see lacking with other candidates. Constantine is just an imitator. His style seems to be just a copy of everything he sees other bands do and his voice is really not that great, as we have seen in previous weeks. He did do better last night with the singing but he will not make it to the final four.

It will probably be Lindsey. Mikalah will be around another week, even though she is obviously the worse singer left. I don't think that Jessica is better than Nadia. She may be better than Vonzell, but not Nadia, IMO. Constantine was better last night than he was last week and should stick around a few more weeks. Bo was awsome.

Hey, I told you I would turn the Rose Garden into a Beer Garden.

Congrats to your brother!!
