D.C. does have three votes in the Electoral College, as set by the 23rd Amendment. Which makes it the same for one city as it is for seven states.

One of the guys from the Monkees went to my high school back in the day. The lead guy from Weezer did too (Rivers Cuomo?) about 10 years before I got there. As for your question, Pooj, today's music isn't inclined to story-telling like that.

They lost their center, Woody. Forget who else, tho.

And then there's: "Will always go balls out until the final whistle blows." Uhmmm, I'd prefer he keep his balls in his pants. Thanks, for offering tho. Writer apparently had 'balls' on the mind....

Let's say this again: "Removal of the feeding tube [for people in a PVS] results in a very peaceful death." -- Dr. Tim Johnson. This is not like starvation for you or me. It will not physically hurt.

Um, Shaud Williams. And if nobody bites, Travis Henry, the man himself. He's just seemed unspectacular when he's been on the field. I think for the most part, it's good-natured ribbing. Until FFS writes a 6,000-word essay on why Joe Burns is dead weight on the roster. No one but us hardcores will read it, but everyone will have to agree. C'mon FFS, you know we love ya, man!

Congrats! I'll crack open a PBR for Baby TBA. And one for your brother. And one for his wife. And one for you. And one for your wife. And.... C'mon, you need to come up w/ 25 more people to drink a toast to.

Looks like he broke out the naked pictures of TD at the negotiating table. I honestly don't know why they're keeping him, especially since this draft and the UDFA RBs are going to be leaps and bounds above him as a third year player. Whatever.

ABC has done a great job in show development this season. Lots of diversity in genres and new plays on old genres. LOST, DHW, BL, Blind Justice, Extreme Makeover Home Ed., this new series Eyes doesn't look half bad.... This, while both of the other networks are airing the same old, same old. Sit-coms of fat husbands and skinny wives. Law & Order, spinoff after spinoff, CSI, ditto. When no one has any ideas left, they run to generic cop shows. ABC, which was the struggling network, in danger of slipping below the WB just a few years ago, is back. ABC's the new HBO.

And you thought this belonged on the main board rather than PPP.... how?

Looks like it.

So, "not much hope" is equivalent to zero hope? Teri's cerebellum is filled with cerebral fluid from the spine! If they do reconnect the tube, they're very soon going to have to amputate her limbs to keep her blood closer to her heart for circulation purposes. She's not going to be waking up. Can you imagine the "What has no arms, no legs, and ...." jokes? You may call wanting Teri to die of natural causes like an infection and pulling her feeding tube crossing some kind of symbolic fence. It's more like trying to find a chalk line in your driveway after 15 years.

When this happened during the debates w/ Cheney's daughter, they were up in arms for Kerry's using her for political gain. No such outcry when its them doing the same damn thing. And you know, that other legislation, doesn't surprise me one bit. The opportune words are: if they can't pay. It's all about keeping money, money, money in the pockets of big business. That is what they've become and they're not going back. What surprises me are the shmucks who keep voting for them b/c they get a couple hundred bucks back in a tax return rather than fixing the entire system and keeping the govt from taking thousands from them in the first place. Dude, I used to be a Republican. The party left me behind in about 1990, and I stupidly kept supporting them until 1998. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate who better represents your opinions. I agree w/ about 30 percent of the GOP agenda (economic, but it's eroding more every day), but about 75-80 percent of the Dem. It's not about the Ted Kennedys of the party anymore. There's a reason why McCain is called a RINO.

Wow, that is a thorough workup. For the most part, it works out pretty favorably for TD and the $ he decides to shell out. It's also nice to have a good scouting department and the mindset to not be afraid to have rookies or inexperienced players as backups. Too many people here feel the need to sign expensive worldbeaters for all 53 roster spots. I do disagree with the assessment of Ron Edwards somewhat. His appearance was after Ted Washington left and his linemate was a relatively inexperienced Pat Williams. Then he's playing behind Sam Adams. It's hard to improve your game by leaps and bounds playing behind these guys but he has made big strides, pointing especially to the Cincy game this past season. Judging him is premature as the guy is still only 25. Look how long it took for Fat Pat to crack the lineup.

My consultation with Sherlock Holmes leaves me the impression that Rosen just wants to play Whoopee Cushion gags.

The '67 GTO, black, hard top, is my fantasy car. My father had one back in the day, said it'd pass everything but a Ford and a gas station.

The Bills are playing 16 games at the Ralph every year from now on? Sweet! </smartass>

Well last year, we were pretty hard up at Guard w/ Ruben's departure. And it's not like TD paid much more than was already being spent for sub-par play. I'm all for letting rookies develop by giving them playing time, but you do it like the Patriots, one at a time. You can't have both slots with de facto rookies. Ain't got that problem this season. Hence, no payday.

The interior will be addressed in the draft, for a lot less $, and developing under JM for a couple of years, more talent. If it's not, then Rudy and JP-era will have bitching rights.

More likely that s/he looked at the geography of which NFL cities are closest to major markets in Can and Mex (which is the stupidest way to go about it), and then looked at the ticket sales, going back quite a ways sufficient to prove a point. Yeah, in post-JK until '01, ticket sales at times weren't gangbusters. But they've sold out the last few seasons. Stupid trumping of a stupid storyline that gets reguritated every couple of years.

Actually, doctors who've studied this report that starving someone in that state does not cause physical pain. Not good enough for those Birkenstock-wearers who claim that if you record a plant's stem being cut, you can hear it screaming, but what can you say? I bet the next post says the husband is a terrorist. We've already had someone call him a Nazi, which is, of course, the argument of a sane person not overtaken by emotion </sarcasm>. In a better world more people would use their minds for rational thought. I assure you, if prosecutors in a state governed by Jeb Bush had a shred of evidence that the husband was abusive, etc., he would have been symbolically arrested 10 years ago. Maybe the people in Florida should be keeping closer track of the child molesters who are killing their children (that's four now in the past year for guys that had long sex assault records) than to allow Teri to go to a better place according to her wishes.

Just to keep her "alive" in her vegetative state, doctors would have had to cut off her extremities. What the Byrds didn't adapt in their lyrics is there's a time to let go, and they reached that point about 10 years ago. Turn! Turn! Turn!

Which LOST Character Are You? I got Jack. (Hence the avatar). Oops. It readeth: "Ah, the classic co-dependent. You are the person people love to have around in a crisis because you know what to do and how to do it. You'll get all the chicks --- until the bad boy flexes his muscles." Interesting note, I didn't see before that his name is Jack Shepard. Piecing this together, his father said Jack was "a good man".... --> Jack is "The Good Shepard." In the Bible, "the Good Shepard lays down his life for his flock." I wouldn't expect this until the end of the series, if it happens at all. Just a musing.

Nice to hear Wire re-did his contract and will be sticking around.

It's great how people, including first-year doctors who have taken to diagnosing by fuggin' videotape, throw out "seems" as if it's "is." Funny, the Supreme Court of the United States says it's on the husband, or else they would have heard the case. Unless you're saying you know or can divine the law better.
