When Obama ***** his drawers, he blames Fruit of the Loom. Worst. President. Ever.

The Bills OT situation can only look up from the gutter and aspire to "middle of the road."

Link It may be more of a 'Hey, remember me next time in case Barry wins' thing, as the GOP prefers previously known / vetted pols, but if either of them goes for it, the previously-termed "unspectacular" pot of candidates would have a fire started under it. I'm supporting Romney, but a wider field of people who bring fiscal-issue bones wouldn't hurt to push the debates away from the social-issues that Bachmann and Perry would probably like to have the fore. Frankly, I could give a sh-- either way on many of the social issues. We need someone who can help turn around the economy as his or her first, second, third, fourth and fifth priority.

Now it comes out that three supervisors from this fiasco have been promoted to senior positions in the BATF. LA Times: ATF promotes supervisors in controversial gun operation; The three, who have been criticized for pushing on with the border weapons sting even as it came apart, receive new management jobs in Washington. I have no doubt that the impetus for this fiasco came from on high. As I wrote, the more that comes out on this, the worse it smells.

All hail DC Tom, the Christopher Columbus of long-distance fast-food! OTOH, did it not occur to this guy that he could... you know... actually make pizza himself? It's really not that difficult to master.

Not only that, but there's many a DE who've said that OTs generally turn the corner at finally being effective from an experience factor (probably combined with reaching a level of fitness as well) at about 5-6 seasons. I'm not saying that Nix has to sign a name. But it definitely couldn't hurt to have him for a visit and/or medical check. If this FO and coaching staff think they can effectively compete all season with the OTs currently on the roster, they are living in a dream world. I'm not holding my breath, tho. Just about all we've seen so far re-affirms our status as the Kansas City Royals of the NFL.

Holy hell. Did you read this in between the lines, or divine it from your tea leaves? Maybe you should try not just making sh-- up.

I saw it that Gus was trying to 1) get Jesse to some place where he gives a sh-- about something again and 2) foster a split between Jesse and Walt. All with the probably goal of getting rid of the person that he didn't want from the start because Jesse's unpredictable persona and criminal history is dangerous for his business. In order to control the situation, Gus needs to get Walt to stop being so protective of Jesse. That started last week with Jesse paying two meth-heads $100 to forcibly remove Walt from the house. Elsewhere, it seems to finally have hit Walt that a full reconciliation and getting things back somewhat close to what they were before he started to cook isn't going to happen. Skylar will have sex with him and go through motions in public, but her thinking of Walt is now mainly as a business partner and having to craft a story to launder drug money. How long will this last? Walt is man who hasn't had success with business partners, legitimate and otherwise. In fact... gird your loins here... lawyer/adviser/leech Saul Goodman may be the most trustworthy person in Walt's circle in 4 seasons. And guys, that's saying something! Soon after this epiphany, Walt proceeds to hit the vino at Hank and Marie's, and it loosens his lips and puts some spring in Hank's step. And so the stage is set for the last season and a half. Walt's almost inviting it from all sides. You look at a lot of different scenarios knowing what we know, and it's really hard to imagine a happy ending here. And it's not like we should want one for many of these characters outside of Walt Jr., the baby and perhaps Hank. Gillian's made his bones thus far on us almost rooting for Walt and Jesse, but I'm not sure he can pull off an ending where we'd be satisfied for them to go unpunished for what they've done. I don't know tho --- he's gotten this far thumbing his nose at Hollywood convention.... And then that Beneke coffee mug right at the close. You know that's still sticking in Walt's craw.

The shoulder striping didn't look like it was in any less a state of limbo. Not being parallel with the sleeve hem looks like ****. That was a total Bush-league "We're going to be different!" design move. They tacked back toward traditional unis as 99% of the fans wanted, but just couldn't go the whole way. Let's hope Nike can clean that up when they take over next year. Also not a fan of the helmet flare. Other than those two bits, they'd be damn near perfect.

At least until QE7 hits, you'll never be able to dream of making that much in your entire lifetime, nevermind pay federal income taxes that amount to .005% of that. Maybe "the rich" have a lower % because at their level the total amount they're paying is so !@#$ing huge. It's not like Warren has his own personal interstate highway that his taxes go to, that the DoD spends more on his safety than yours, or that he benefits more from such federally-funded scientific studies as methods to reduce the consumption of alcohol of Chinese prostitutes... in China. If WB or others want to give their $ for the federal govt to piss away, they're free to write a check. Personally speaking, if you, Pee, birddog, buftex, et al. commandeer a time travel machine and go back to Moscow c. 1975, maybe you'll find happiness there.

Just to note that "Women in Trouble" is the first part. EL is a sequel. You definitely have to watch them in order. Checking right now, WiT is still available on Netflix streaming. If you get all the way through and still wonder "Where the hell was Joseph Gordon-Levitt?" like I did... keep watching. He's got a bigger part in EL. Funny as hell. It's weird. I hated "Boogie Nights." I loved these (and there's reportedly a third in the works). A side project to this, with the same writer/director and several of the actors/actresses is "Girl Walks Into a Bar..." that was the first full-length feature to have its release directly to Youtube. They actually shoot these in ~ a week on a low budget. The strength is foremost in the script and then getting really good actors (Connie Britton, for example) who don't really give a sh-- about making coin, they just want to be a part of it.

It says that it was planned in response to a 3 July shooting of a man who had a knife. I'm going to have to fundamentally disagree with the extent of the "logic" of the protestors and the ACLU. They have the right to personally protest, hold signs, make noise, etc. But when you're conspiring to shut down metro service and f--- up every commuter's day... that's not protest. Just like students protesting the early start of classes do not have the right to drain the fuel tanks of buses. Interfering with the normal functioning of a quasi-public utility/transportation service is not protest, it's a mild form of terrorism.

Actually, the Romans used to use urine as a cleaning agent. In laundry, in toothpastes/teeth whitener, etc. It is sterile when fresh, as it's largely ammonia. Then, of course, humanity developed soap and bleach.... I guess some people refuse to move on from the old ways. It just says he was an attendant. That usually means a bathroom attendant, right? I guess the dude really liked piss.

And yet, especially with her being a large girl, that last bit is a little . Diana Taurasi did a spread for that series IIRC with her hair down and... Yowza!

There ain't. They've been told to believe that CCTV cameras and mostly unarmed bobbies provide security. I guess the rioters didn't get that memo. Maybe this changes some attitudes. Probably not. But make no mistake, those images are what an unarmed society looks like --- people hiding in their homes and hoping they're not set on fire while the police are over-matched and afraid to give punks what for. Off topic, but Canada is likely to legalize long guns in the fall.

Not to mention that everyone who's in a particular trade is FORCED to be part of the union. There's no choice; a part of their govt paycheck is garnished to fund the union bosses. The part of the bill that Pee is decrying actually provides a modicum of democracy where if a majority of workers feel they aren't being represented by the union, they can elect to dissolve it rather than be forced to support it. Now, a vote won't save money. But it does give a check/balance to workers. What the hell is so wrong with that?

They're where they are because they're politicians, not because they want to or can get anything done. With this slate, Reid just sent an overt message that Dems aren't going to give an inch. They'll want tax increases and any cuts they'll agree to will be heavily DoD (in a time of 4 wars) or phantom cuts. Talk about holding talks back. In other words, there will be no deal. Anyone with a brain who saw the news last week that part of the deal was to form a commission to see if they could possibly think about where to maybe cut government spending knew it's going to be just another blue ribbon panel.

Well, that's the particular straw that Pee has been grasping for the past week.... It only has to make sense in his/her own mind --- which is a cripple-fight between his/her last two brain cells.

Maybe this will be the final outrage necessary for law-abiding Britons to vote to get their guns back and for bobbies to actually be armed. They let immigration ruin their country.

1) I'm not sure how much I want to trust dialogue that can't even form the plural of "worker" correctly. 2) One stipulation of the bill doesn't save money, which the governor volunteers. Wow! That must mean the whole bill doesn't save money.

Awww, why would you go and say something like that!? "Jump! Jump! Jump!"

I had been wondering what exactly Mike did for Gus.... dev/null, do you now see the problem with putting spoiler tags on discussion of episodes that have aired? In the first post of this page, that's what it is --- discussion about "Bullet Points" wrapped in spoilers on Monday morning about an episode that aired 12 hours earlier. Then in your post, you put in spoiler quotes (correctly) details about the next episode. I actually opened that expecting more "Bullet Points" discussion, as that's kind of the norm. And then I got to read snippets about next week. We need to come to an agreement on this.

FYI - we're playing the 3-4 now, and Chan is keen on saving a roster spot by using Brad Smith as the 3rd QB. What does that spot get used as? My vote is LB (and not Dead Weight Maybin) because in the 3-4, you go through a lot of them.

Don't have to convince me. If Reid Forrest can boot it and hold on FGs, it may be time to say thank you and show Moorman the door. The Bills ought not be in the business of giving out jobs to every guy who has a foundation and signs autographs. The next guy'll do that too. I'm not really interested in what he did from 2001-2009 or that if Buffalo were Oakland blah blah blah. We all know Jerry Glanville's quote. Moorman's production peaked in 2006 and last year was terrible. I don't know if he's got a dead leg or just lost his touch or both. I'm pleased that Nix brought in someone who would be a real challenge at the spot. The camp and preseason will give both a chance to show what they've got. I'm not quite sure why the thing about new unis got thrown in there, or why some otherwise good posters here are getting hung up on this odd linkage.... But from my vantage, this is all about production.

It has a lot of industrial uses... not just decorative.
