UConn James

Sorry for the duplicate thread. I just didn't check this, as the title isn't very specific and I was assuming it was some nonsense or other like a lot of threads.... Anyway, as I wrote, IMO this speech goes a long way toward validating Romney's 47% comments. No surprise that the MSM, some who were in attendence, absolutely buried this story. Even after he disavowed Wright in press releases, etc. here he is with these accolades, talking out of both sides of his mouth, and saying with the right that what came out of the left was wrong and he doesn't believe it. Well, which is it? He's connected with Wright and his brand of invective or he isn't. Shameful that this man was and is running to be president of black America and KILL WHITEY! rather than being president of the whole of America. Doubly shameful that things like this spout from a conference purportedly about religious matters. We believe in a benevolent God who loves his creation, not one so concentered in hatred and envy, who believe that because something happened to forefathers 300 years ago, that means things are owed to the people who continually decry this as though it happened to them personally and refuse to get off their dead asses today.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/02/obama-speech-jeremiah-wright-new-orleans/3/ Followed by the bald-faced lies and victimhood schpiel about monies WRT Katrina as evidence that the federal govt doesn't care about black people. See the story and the video for the full extrapolation of how much the federal govt owes "our people." NO surprise this whole speech was swept COMPLETELY under the rug by the MSM in attendance. So here we are with the president's own October Surprise. This video IMO more or less validates Romney's 47% video, tic for tac.

When my father was growing up older (just like me, my father never grew up!) in the late '50s there was a kid in his class whose mother found a big wad of money in his sock drawer. He shot rats with his BB gun and sold them to the Chinese restaurant. They closed the place down. IIRC when he pointed out the building, it was on the Berlin Turnpike in New Britain.

To answer the OP, I'd say it generally runs parallel to how the left does not want to harsh on the mellow of people who use drugs, steal, rob, rape, murder.... Country club prisons, rehabilitation, parole for sex offenders, do away with the death penalty, take away peoples' guns so they can't fight back, blah blah blah. Excusing monsters because they didn't know what they were doing, were depressed, insane, temporarily insane, ate a Twinkie, etc. and if they just capitulate, they won't be so angry, will start getting along with everyone, and they can go out on the street and be productive members of society and unicorns will start farting rainbows. It's a long string of softening on crime, domestically. Not a far stretch to apply the same manner of thought to foreign matters.

That's gotta be a terrible way to go....

I came into this show kind of recently, so you'd have to ask a student of this show like AJ or look it up somewhere for the complete and accurate picture, but they have done a first-show non-elimination leg a couple times IIRC. Definitely when the Cowboys came in last in the Second Chances season premiere. And I may be misrembering it, but didn't the twins (IIRC they had Hawai'ian names and I don't remember when, but recent, maybe even last season), who walked w/in ~200 feet of Phil and the check-in... and then went wildly off track, get another go? Fat blonde-Mohawk dude is already on my nerves. It never ceases to amaze... the people who go on this show and then can't be bothered to spend 10 seconds reading and fully understanding what they have to do in a task. Two helpings of frog Fallopian tubes BECAUSE YOU'RE !@#$ING STUPID!!!!!!

Must be global warming!!

Which may be why some of us care so much about what the unis look like....

She's the horse that's been led to water that's refusing to drink. Derek, there's no way you can 'make it work' when one side doesn't want it to work... at least not in that way. From reading Captain's quoted stuff right above here before he followed good advice of the board, it's pretty stevestojan my that the roommate got enlisted in this, either by accident or artifice. It's one of two things: The ex is either serious about the split, or wants power/hand (thank you George Costanza) in the relationship where what she wants will always be A1 b/c remember when ex left you that time? I've heard way too many horror stories from guys who lost hand... some even involving paying for her college and a new house right before she divorced him and got everything and shacked up two days later. !@#$ this. If you can't truly be 'just friends' like it's obvious can't happen here, you've gotta do a clean break, put her in your rearview mirror and make her get smaller. When you get back in town is going to be the hardest test, Captain.

In that same interview, Woodward lays a lot of the blame for the impasse on Obama for how he delivered the $400B 'goalpost move.' He was demanding 150% more than was originally agreed and he did this tersely over the phone. You don't need Tera Patrick to tell you that a guy's gonna try to !@#$ you up the * he should at least put on some KY first. Respect goes both ways, I don't care if it's the president and the speaker or the garbage man and the postlady. What do you expect Boehner to do? Gleefully romp to the Oval and bend over? It was at that point that he decided that Obama wasn't serious / was playing politics rather than really negotiating and he went to plan B. When I give someone a quote for $15 an hour and they call and want me to work for minimum wage, I don't call them back either. [shrug]

Bob Woodward: Fiscal 'Day of Reckoning' Is Coming Romney may get flak for not being very specific on exactly what he would cut beyond 'means-testing' for SS, etc. but at least he's consistently seen reality and the coming entitlement tsunami and said that we must cut. What specifics has Obama offered, and what has he cut? Nothing. He's added substantially to the deficit/debt. Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth and kicks the can down the road.

"Gospel of Jesus' wife" fragment is a fake, Vatican says

It was on a Commodore 64. I don't remember the name of the game, but I've been looking for it for awhile. It was a space shooter game that's an overhead scene. You're a small fighter and on each level, you fly onto a large ship and you have to destroy targets. Otherwise there was Pacman, Wolfenstein, and Galaga. All of which I've actually got now on the iPad3.... These are still the only real computer games that I can manage. Played Zelda: A Link to the Past a lot during summer vacations in WNY with a cousin as a teen, and after that cold turkey and then games got so complex I can hardly play. My nephew had all the consoles and had a dirt bike racing game and It was all I could do to get it around the track in a quarter of the time as he did. Every time he passed me he'd say, "Lapped ya, Uncle James!" I'm not as old as some of you on here who fart dust, but I feel it some days.

But God bless her anyway!! Not looking good for Team Blue. Roxyn, who got the boot tonight, was simply the weakest link in the challenge. She ran once, and did half the distance pushing from behind, which does next to nothing to help move a low-to-the-ground, heavy object like that sled and puts an incredible strain on the back. At least Angie ran twice before she was exhausted. Gotta say that I can commiserate with Lisa/Facts of Life. I am pretty darn introverted. I like doing things on my own (but I'm very good at tasks, mind you), I often watch and listen rather than engage in the conversation, and I suspect I'm somewhere, tho low, on the autism/Asperger spectrum. Internet, Facebook, etc. are awesome for someone like me. Hard to compete in a game like Survivor when this is the case. I think she'll come around, tho. Lisa had an important role in the puzzle in the immunity win, so that presumably earns her brownie points and may tip the scales for keeping her around if she can help in the puzzles. Fire Guy is still at it. And the quick preview for next week looked like a semi-serious wound WRT size and being able to keep it clean and infection. Dude just can't stop hurting himself.

Doubt it. Moorman has always ALWAYS been a good soldier. This is entirely a performance thing. For the same reason a contractor can't keep on a construction guy who can't lift 4x4s after 11 a.m., I think BM hit a wall two seasons ago WRT his "touch" on pinbacks and power over the course of the season. That he had a good preseason may be owing to the offseason rest period. I don't think that punt where he outkicked his coverage this week that allowed for the returner to build steam and make a 30-yard return helped at all. Nor the return TD against the Jets in the opener, tho I was only half-watching at that point and I haven't seen replays to see what happened there.

It's not unlike Chan's cutting of Trent Edwards two(?) years ago two games into the season. I know I've seen it before, but just can't remember who the back-up FG holders are. Rest assured that they do plan for this in camp and practice in case a guy gets injured. Not to say there absolutely won't be hiccups.

Gotta give Chan props on this. Stuck with Moorman for as long as he could on the fumes of past performance and nice-guy status (and don't get me wrong, Moorman IS a great citizen!!!) but in pure football analysis, too long in retrospect. Moorman hasn't been hitting his spots for a couple of years and his inside-the-20 stats absolutely cratered. I'm assuming they're going to bring in Powell.

Wow, those are nice. Clean. Classic. Simple. I loved these throwbacks from the moment I saw them and that hasn't changed a bit. I don't get why they did the navy trim outline in the claim that it was done for TV (have they seen HDTV?). And yes, it just confirms how stupid and ugly the unfinished collar decision was from a design standpoint. They should have stuck with one color to complete it or, as here, simply used the same color as the jersey. I suspect with a very high degree of certainty that it was made from a Nike/NFL/Bills decision to do something different so fans who want to stay up to date (foreign concept in WNY) will plunk down coin on the new Nike stuff. I had been looking at getting a customized (with MY name on back, so it doesn't get outdated in two years) Reebok blue throwback jersey that was on special, but the available sizes were WAY too big. I may look into one of these.

http://spectator.org/archives/2012/09/25/how-carter-beat-reagan How Carter Beat Reagan | Washington Post admits polling was "in-kind contribution", NY Times was agenda-polling I'm sure it's sooo different today. Oh, wait. I went to J-school with some of these folks. No it isn't. Polls mean jack squat.

She's been laying into Brown for the vote to continue oil subsidies, which he says is about the only thing keeping prices from rising to $6-$8 per gallon (you know... just a less than where Obama's energy secretary wants them) rather than the already outrageous $4. Privately, I think we ought to tell the world that if we don't gets cheaper oil, they don't gets food from the world's breadbasket. They get to cartel energy and reduce supply for a while to put the squeeze on, maybe we should do the same. But... I guess that's being uncompassionate. Wouldn't want to remind anyone how important we are, or starve the people who want to kill us, so we'll keep delivering free government wheat, corn and rice to all and sundry. [/rant] Anywho. Helping Big Polluting Corporation BAD. Unless they give you boatloads of cash so they don't have to fund union pensions. That should go over well with her core constituency. Not that it's going to stop the people who'll bend over backwards to explain this and/or the Yellow Dog Democrats who populate Massachusetts.

Guys, this is a presidential polling thread, not one about Islamic terrorism. Let's stay on track here please.

It's probably originating from Uranus. (Sorry. It just had to be said.)

It all goes toward character and what they did when they didn't think anyone would ever look into what they were doing. I see a pattern of activity that she believes she can skirt the rules and get away with it because of her affiliation and the populist ideology that she preaches. If she were on the other side with her opponent using a fake minority heritage claim to help bump up hiring brownie points at Hahhhvadd and now violating the spirit if not the letter of the law, she would be harping on these every minute until 6 November and/or demanding that her opponent drop out of the race. Just to note: CT's own Susan Byciewicz (?) had her own flap about this law license stuff and it did not turn out pretty for her. I watched the debate live on WBZ-4 last week. That was the first question from moderator Jon Keller. Is character important? Brown emphatically said yes w/o specifically referencing Warren's Native American claim. Ms. Warren obfuscated and never really answered it. This is someone who's going to be in the upper house of congress for 6 years. People don't want duplicity, and that's why Scott Brown has gotten so many endorsements from lifelong big-name party Democrats.

Against the Chiefs and the Browns. I'm not hating on Fitz, but he needs to be consistent. With this OL, he needs to improve against top competition and not just the dregs of the NFL. If there's no consistency and he can't cut the errant "Who the hell was that pass to?" and limited-distance problem, we need to move on and get a guy who can make all the throws at whatever distance.... It won't matter that they didn't go to Harvard and all that. Our QB for the next 6-8 years can't be so limited in this passing league.

That's called out-kicking your coverage. Other than that, two shanks. It's very early in the season for Moorman to have a dead leg or lose the touch that he had seemed to regain during the preseason. He's a respected veteran presence and a nice guy, but his play isn't helping the team.
