Well, I agree. The political grandstanding based just on the country of origin was rather difficult to take these past few weeks.

I am sorry if people thought I was serious. Didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was joking b/c I didn't think there was a particular ethnic group associated only with the country. I realize now that it was a rather opaque and stupid joke. (And it was a joke that wasn't supposed to be aimed at anyone...) Sorry to anyone I offended.

As a person of Arab Emiratian descent, this discussion has been very difficult to read.

I find it kind of funny that Washington fans would be so concerned about having money transferred from the Redskins to the other teams. The only reason why the Redskins are so rich is because of the high amount of money in the DC area, most of it directly or indirectly coming from money TRANSFERRED from taxpayers in the rest of the country--including cities that are so-called "small market."

I usually get my news from angry blogs. There is PPP, by the way.

I just don't see why they didn't just outright kill Keeler last season if he wasn't going to play a role in the future.

I have been watching every episode and haven't seen/heard that. In last season they found him alive, but unconscious after Air Force One went down. You are not referring to Palmer, are you? He was the president before Keeler and Logan....

I don't think so. I think it would have come up. He might come out of the coma soon...

I am concerned about the BIGFIRM lifestyle. I want to have a family fairly soon and want to have some balance in my life. Unfortunately, that seems hard to get in this career.

Writing Friday Night Lights 2?

Late last summer, I started law school and wasn't quite sure about my decision. I ended up posting on the Stadium Wall about my doubts and got a lot of good advice and information. I sort of am writing again just to let folks know how things worked out and ask for further information from those law school graduates out there. I ended up liking my classmates more and finding the field much more interesting. (I especially liked Torts last semester and am liking Property and Criminal Law now.) I survived finals all right and got good grades. Looking for a summer job sucks, but I don't regret continuing on too much. I often envy friends who have started nice careers in the working world and sometimes wish I was done with this all more quickly, but it's all right I guess. Anyway, for those law school graduates here, I was wondering if you could tell me what you do now whether it is directly involving law or not, how much enjoy it and what have you. I am thinking forward to the end of my three years and am more trying to think hard about where I want to end up and how to get there. Thanks a lot.

Is there anyone in the NFL who IS sold on JP?

Looks like Kate's picture being held by one of the officers. I am sure this was obvious to most, since I don't pick up on anything.

Picking the quarterback who beats out the other in an open competition? Scandalous!!

I have no idea who she is or what show this is, but from the pictures, it looks like she needs a nose job.

You are correct.

Yeah, the "Torino" stuff is ridiculous. It's fine I suppose to call a place by what the natives call it but at least be consistent. People are saying the Olympics are from Torino, Italy. Either call it Turin, Italy or Torino, Italia. Don't mix and match.

IIRC, it was 51-3, but your point still stands.

An article I read on this said that Chris Collinsworth was going to be the play-by-play guy with Madden. I cannot imagine how that could have possibly worked.

I think that's a pretty poor generalization. I cannot speak for Harvard and Yale, but that's far less important at a lower Ivy, like Cornell for example. In general, I will say that at any of the "elite" schools there is a large proportion of students who had a leg-up b/c of alumni connections, but there are many more who got in b/c of the merits, however, skewed those merits might be. Certainly at Harvard and Yale what you are describing happened a lot more. However, at least Levy did not get into the master's program (after getting into Harvard Law) b/c of those connections. His background belies that idea. Now, I went to Cornell so I will be a little biased, but bear with me. Here's how I view the whole debate going on in this thread (I was an economics major)... 1. There are lot of people at the Ivies who are complete idiots. 2. There are tons of smart people from other schools. 3. What gets you into an Ivy League school isn't often enough to give you success. Getting great grades and high test scores doesn't test all intelligence and skills. Hard work, drive, smart risk taking and talent get you success, IMO. 4. Getting an Ivy League education and getting poor grades while doing that will usually put you at a disadvantage when competing with the top students from a "lesser" school. On Liberal Arts: 1. History and similar fields requires plenty of intelligence. It taps on skills different from those that an engineer has. (I respect engineering, my father is in the field). 2. An engineer has clearer job choices, but a liberal arts major can develop writing skills that will help in a wide-variety of jobs and graduate fields. 3. The smartest thing to do, if you are good at a technical field and actually will enjoy it, is to major in that and take a lot of classes that develop your writing skills.

Yeah, I think so and for some reason the media considers the Bills to be the franchise in the worst shape?

I hope for his sake that Wisenhunt got Pittsburgh to pay him better. He missed a great opportunity if he didn't use HC-offer leverage like Greggo did.

Hollywood Donahoe is right again!

That would be correct, sir.

I think the Illuminati are involved.
