I'm glad ND smashed Hawaii. I despise that team and their home cooking, home-grown bunch of refs.

Nice post. I don't see many Bills' games - zero to 1 or 2 max per year on tv here in the Cincinnati market. So I refrain on making layer comments. When they are shown, I record and study them. Evans strikes me as an "every team needs a deep threat" type, if that makes any sense. I don't fault them for re-signing him...what else do they have? I wonder if BUF will compete for Houshmandzadeh. His attitude is terrific, and I completely reject the notion that he wouldn't want to play for BUF. It's a fair argument as to how many miles he has left, but he is one of the best at taking the whacks in traffic, as well as getting back into play to help a harried QB.

Good 'ole boy Joe...a real champion of the middle class. ..."In Delaware, for instance, the state's outgoing Democratic governor raised some eyebrows when she appointed Biden's longtime chief of staff, Ted Kaufman, to Biden's Senate seat. Kaufman, 69, is widely understood to be a place holder for Biden's son Beau. Beau Biden, 39, is Delaware's attorney general, but is unavailable to be senator because he is serving a tour in Iraq and is not expected to return until late 2009. "This is all Biden's attempt to foment a dynasty," said Jennifer Duffy, senior editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "Kaufman has no learning curve, so Delaware doesn't get hurt in that regard. This all makes sense . . . except there were some Democrats in Delaware who were not happy that [outgoing] Lt. Gov. John Carney was not selected. He's in his early 50s, is looking for a job and is talking about challenging Beau Biden in a primary."."... http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/f...0,3343563.story

I'm curious. Anybody know how the program is going?

Yup. A couple of hard-hitters helps send a message, sets a tone. Even at the risk of getting a personal foul.

That may be so. But they gave it a shot. With the repudiation of the CBA, who knows what NFL football will end up like? It could possibly be like MLB. I don't fault any team that flashed the cash this season...

When I was young and stupid, I ate bacon liberally. Now that I'm old and stupid, I've replaced the bacon with blood pressure pills. Nice sig line...Ambrose Bierce. I had a copy of that, but it got stolen!

Well, they went from last season's 4 and 12, to 9 and 6 now, with a shot at the AFC East title...

Merry Christmas everybody !!!!

Please explain what you mean by this "US auto industry "bad business model.

Direct your anger at the NFLPA union. Its' one that in contradiction to others, demands that membership be restricted (see 53 man rosters and 45 game day players), demands a cut of profits, demands a cut of trinkets (why folks buy jerseys to enrich millionaires and advertise their names escapes me).

Knobby knees in need of a good scrubbing.

Good post.

Nice to see you have the Christmas spirit...

See how close these folks get to the cliff walls. Cripes! Wingsuit jumpers: http://vimeo.com/1778399

Bacon is powerful. A wise parent feeds the kiddies peas, spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts and the like. The wiser parent boils the above then sautes them along with greasy bacon. Nobody throws a tantrum over foodstuffs coated with bacon grease with included bacon bits. Nobody. Young or old.

Invoking your link broke my log-in. Sour grapes...

...nice link!

Your over-arching opinions aren't worth much salt... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2008121...70345/1055/NEWS

Why not? Plenty of civil service workers to hog it out of the sewer lines...

You have my condolences, Lana.

How often does Seattle get a crippling snow storm? Every 10, 15 years? Evidently, the city will let people crash and get injured before adding salinity to saline Puget Sound... Seattle: No to salt, yes to snow-packed roads By Susan Kelleher, The Seattle Times 12/23/08 "SEATTLE -- To hear the city's spin, Seattle's road crews are making "great progress" in clearing the ice-caked streets. But it turns out "plowed streets" in Seattle actually means "snow-packed," as in there's snow and ice left on major arterials by design. 'We're trying to create a hard-packed surface," said Alex Wiggins, chief of staff for the Seattle Department of Transportation. "It doesn't look like anything you'd find in Chicago or New York." The city's approach means crews clear the roads enough for all-wheel and four-wheel-drive vehicles, or those with front-wheel drive cars as long as they are using chains, Wiggins said. The icy streets are the result of Seattle's refusal to use salt, an effective ice-buster used by the state Department of Transportation and cities accustomed to dealing with heavy winter snows. "If we were using salt, you'd see patches of bare road because salt is very effective," Wiggins said. "We decided not to utilize salt because it's not a healthy addition to Puget Sound.'."... http://www.yakimaherald.com/stories/2008/1...ow-packed-roads

Long lost, I had a souvenir from a grade school tour of the BEN's press works and lino shop...they cast our names in lead moveable type, all letters cast in one piece so we could use it to stamp our names.
