Nope. Green endzones was a decision TD made. Iirc, the company that made and installed the current turf went out of business a couple of years ago. FieldTurf© is where it's at for the rest of the league, but we had to be different. I also miss the red endzones.

Ask me 10 times, and 10 times I would say that this is the case. Can't blame them for following the American Way.

In his response to the first item, he said that he doesn't feel the need to be truthful. As he said Rumsfeld wasn't going anywhere, they were vetting Gates. This man has no problem with lying straight-faced. In some instances, I would say this is a desirable trait for any president. But the Current Occupant has taken it on full-time.

Nail, meet head. If you watch those shows about people who are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, that is essentially what we are dealing with. After being on our way to a measure of fiscal freedom in the '90s, we're back in worse than ever. As a metaphor, Washington has maxed out all the credit cards and will soon be applying for the 26.99% APR ones. And tantamount to the woman of the house going shoe-shopping, we actually got tax refunds as our deficits are spiraling. We are in big trouble. And the people who are saying this are drowned out by Washington continuing to pretend there won't be a problem when the bills come due. Wanna know how so many governments collapse since time out of mind? There you go. May not be a bad thing, tho.

See, first of all, there is NO concensus on when a fertilized egg actually becomes "life." I know I'm talking to a brick wall here, but what makes you think that you have the correct answers and other people just don't and that you need to force your beliefs on other people? Abortion is a choice; life is full of individual choices for which we each have to deal with the consequences. Don't pretend with this gambit of 'saving them from themselves.' Legally, this was decided back in 1973 with the 'Don't want to have an abortion? Don't have one' option. The law needs to work for both sides, and the definition of 'murder' is just too important to be doing it willy-nilly, state-by-state, which is why it went to the Supreme Court. Why don't we have a national referendum then? (But you don't want that, b/c polls show that you would be defeated ~70-30). If this latest crap passes, what's next? Tell me. Because they'll need something else to talk about. Will it be that plastic surgery is immoral? Will women be forced to wear burquas? Must everyone wear brown head-to-toe on Wednesdays? Will men not be able to get vasectomies b/c there's all of those innocent lives dying right there in their nut sacks?

I really couldn't give a sh-- about a language bill, but how is that different than the idea to have 52 kinds of political parties? So we can have a 6-foot-long paper ballot like South Africa's? VERY NIIIIICE!, Dr. Cox.

Oh, come on now! I see people all the time outside of the clinics holding signs that read, "Kill those fetuses DEAD!" And when you compare their ID cards to the voter rolls? All Democrats! Masons hire Masons b/c they're the only ones who know the supersecret handshake and have the hammer birthmarks. Does this kind of 'discrimination' also apply to how so many head people in the admin are Skull & Bones? Screw that. What I want to know about is "Men cannot have strictly male jobs (like firemen)."

You were wondering before how someone like Lincoln Chafee could get axed? You just provided the answer. And, some people believe in the theory of 'Gridlock Government.' Less gets done when there's contention. And I would argue that's not a bad thing.

There are some spots where a station will broadcast a game featuring a popular player originally from that area. To wit, while Flutie was starting in Buffalo, the Boston station I get OTA would always air the Bills games when the time didn't conflict w/ NE's. I'm not sure of a Jets or Pats connection to Texas, tho. Perhaps the station just thinks it'll be a better-matched/exciting game. This choice scenario, however, requires there be no NFL local mandate for a viewing area, which seems kind of rare.

My brain started hurting with "[no] current species mutating".... That right there tells me you have NO. !@#$. CLUE.

NFL TV maps. Bookmark this.

Chafee was about ready to cry like a little girl during his concession. He was a good representative, but he made the wrong decisions where it really mattered. Voting him in would have given the Republicans control of the rules, chairmanships, and the agenda. Lots of people called him a RINO. If he really did disagree wholeheartedly with many of the party, he should have run as an independent and stayed unaligned once there. Chafee's father was VERY popular in RI --- that's how Linc originally got in, on his father's name, even tho he had been a Democrat. Whitehouse was a popular former AG in the state, also with high approval ratings. But, FYI, ratings mean bupkiss when people know what electing you will mean. I think it would be wise for the admin to put Chafee in some position or other; it would be a shame to let his experience, calm decision-making and full willingness to work across the aisle go to waste. And it's something that will be especially useful to the WH in the coming Washington environment. And I patently disagree. People aren't stupid. They are entirely rational. You may disagree with what they choose, but then, they'd disagree with what you choose. The rationale may sometimes be simplistic, but don't confuse it with being illogical or that people 'don't know what's good for them.'

Mehlman is a Q-Tip with big lips, and I don't think he believes half of what he says. After whoopings like this, there is almost always a purge at or near the top. I'd be surprised if he hangs on to January before "Deciding that he wants to spend more time with his family."

He's slated to be confirmed by the lame-duck session, yes? As for the press conference in general, Bush seemed very tense. I've watched almost every one he's had in 6 years. Today, he was talking louder, more brusk, high-strung, and his voice was an octave higher.

As I've read, the new PM is intent on building up the Canadian military. They're going to need it w/in the next 20 years wrt protecting their fresh-water resources and rights/access to the Northwest Passage. That is turning into something of a free-for-all w/ the US, Denmark via Greenland, and Russia all making claims there, for potential oil supplies underneath and for shipping as global warming opens it up.

Well, if you believe the guy who spoke a few weeks ago --- I think he was the Comptroller of the GAO? --- in short order, this country is going to be f--ked economically. We buy sh-- on credit cards, when all's said and done, Iraq and Afghanistan will have cost about $2T, our trade deficits have tanked in the past 20+ years.... Deficit finance is how things are getting done. We've spent and spent and spent and at the same time cut taxes after Clinton. For whatever else you have to say about him, had us on the right path re: national debt, and with a Repub. check-and-balance, a measure of fiscal responsibility w/ balanced budgets. In the relatively near future, the bills and interest we are accruing now will be due. And to fix the problem, it's going to have to be: 'Tax and no-spend.'

... and maybe a little to do with Pinto Kenny's.

I think 'catchescannonballs' is where Tom Tomorrow gets the ideas for his "This Modern World" cartoons.

And if Kermit is to be believed, it won't be easy, either. I'd have to agree just using simple demographics of the city. Altho, NE's fandom is probably as much, if not more --- I think all of the NE states have populations over 95% ethno-white. Not quite sure what the point of this is. Is the guy arguing that a mathematical statistic makes him uncomfortable? That if you're not 'among your own' you should automatically not feel safe? What can you tell them --- either move there to even it out or move away to where you do feel 'comfortable.'

One I just let the answering machine pick pick up: "Do you hate Robo-calls? So do I. Do you want them to stop? So do I. In fact, this could be the last one you hear. I'm Rep. state party chairman... and this is my promise to you --- help elect Republicans and we will work to eliminate Robo-calls forever." The thing, tho.... THIS WAS A ROBO-CALL!!!

Link Take a look at the picture and try to recreate it if you dare.... and only if your toilet is in excellent working order.

Add the R.I. Senate seat back into it, too. One of the latest polls had Chafee up by 2%, another at the same time from someone else had Whitehouse up by 3%. Despite what you said a few weeks ago, and said by omission here, this one is going to be really close.

If we don't get a TD here, it'll just go to show how bad it is on this O. That field position was gift-wrapped.

And just think, this is with 2 weeks to prepare!

Wrong way, guys.
