I briefly looked at the link. A reference to Paul Kreugman, as an authoratative source. Six months or so, I saw this St. Paul of the Washington Post on the hack Chris Matthews show, saying that the Democrats were on the right side of the Vietnam War. of course, just a nod from the host beholden for his millions of dollars. Pardon me..the right "side"? McNamara? LBJ? The solid congress controlled by the Dems? It was the usual re-writing of history. St. Paul isn't stupid. Co-opted, afraid to risk...sad. The betrayal of the press is breathtaking, to me. For fun 'n games, here is something entered into the Congressional Record in 1963. A portion is contemporary to that time. But read it when you have the time, scroll down, and pose to yourself, how many of the points have in fact come to pass? http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm

Ahh...your typical attempt at derogation. You, as is your way, bypassed my comment "for a more spicy" view, and went to your direct denigration and attempt to trivialize. I've read the body of your work - You seem a co-opted, fawning, self-serving soldier of the Left with some tick that ends up being a pathological need to go with whatever makes the buzz at the moment. You have no ability to discern that I've seen. You were born too late - you would have been right there in 1933 lapping up the Hitler socialism, and in 1917, a loyalist for Lenin and what happened after. You and your ilk is historically common - you follow the despots sans any whiff of consideration, any questioning of any tin god that juices and assuages your fancy. Uh Oh. I typed this on PPP. If I said this on my corner and it was heard, I guess I'd get a threat against my free speech from Obama, Inc.

I don't know what Linehan got paid...but if he lived a humble life and didn't blow it, I would guess that the salary paid over 2 years invested in a conservative fashion probably gives him at least 50K per year post tax forever without ever touching the principal. There are a lot of us, with 50K net coming in year after year, knowing it won't ever end...that would be very pleased. I know I would...

Government ownership of the banking industry is on the horizon, thanks to that one party and their populist interest in pandering for votes, forcing banks under pain of civil and criminal prosecution, starting with Carter and his congress in 1977 - to accept unemployment checks, down payments, welfare checks, part-time job checks and so forth as acceptable criteria for loan paper. Per blueprint, they blame the opposition that they historically accuse of being mean-spirited and racist. And the loyal opposition has given up. They like votes, too...and have been shown the way. As Marx mentioned - it's inexorable. http://articles.latimes.com/1999/may/31/news/mn-42807 Or for a more spicy view... http://www.anncoulter.com/ Bad times for the 95% of Americans that saved up and bought housing they could actually afford...

Minus 3 OL starters. That's crippling - even if there is replacement talent, OL play has a heavy dependence on playing together over time. Orchestration matters. I can't imagine having to plug in 3 backups and getting all the OLs on the same page in a week. SEA with OL and defensive loss, a QB with iffy back...JAX injuries... a weak OAK with nutty ownership, STL a franchise in shambles...IIRC, before the season, the easiest (or close to easiest) strength of schedule. All the stars have been in alignment for BUF so far. Media pundits see this; I can't blame them for a wait-and-see attitude.

Your Democratic congress is pulling out all the stops to deflect blame from themselves, and are offering undying love and solidarity for a President so he won't expose yet another disaster perpetrated by the Dems on the American public...as always, the Dems blame others for the messes they create, their penchant for accusing any opposition as racist when it suits ( Oh..I remember Geo. Wallace, Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, Jim Crow laws etc. ) http://articles.latimes.com/1999/may/31/news/mn-42807 and get mad when Republicans don't bail them out. Like I have said for some time - the propaganda, the betrayal of the co-opted media, the textbook Marxist exploitation of the young and unsophisticated, is going to sooner or later result in one-party rule, and your very own Hugo Chavez. Are you angling for your own Dacha, Tenny? Are you happy that Obama Inc. is resorting to MN police forces, legal threats, courts to try to suppress political speech? Do you remember when they did that against the Hillary campaign during the primaries? Ever heard of an organization called ACORN? I fondly remember the days when the Dems bought votes with booze and cigs, instead of billion-dollar socialist programs. As a lad, I got paid 25 cents per jug of beer I schlepped to the polling places. Much cheaper.

I zipped through CBS Sportsline's Game Center play-by-play, to see the field positions of drive starts. I totaled them up for both teams, and divided by the # of possessions (Int's at the point of the int - e.g., STL got an int at the 33 so that's starting a drive at the BUF 33, a net of 67 yards from STL's goal line, fumble recoveries where recovered and so forth). Over 13 possessions, the Bills garnered 508 "yards" of field possession (13 possessions, starting at their own 19, 43, STL's 21 (79 yards' of field position), 48, 49, 30, 42, 24, 43, 19, STL's 45, 42, and 15). 508/13 = on average, starting a drive at a bit over 39 yard line. The #'s for STL (15 possessions, "361 "yards" of field possession, gave an ave. drive start at a bit over the 24 yard line. One could parse things ad infinitum...time during the game of getting favorable possession, turnovers that halted a threatening drive by the opposition, and so forth. But that's very good - having 15 yards' less field to have to march for a score is a nice advantage. The Bills' ST's, and Coach April are remarkable...

SU's Carrier Dome...sitting on aluminum benches, watching football under a perpetually overcast sky. Ugh.

That reminds me - I need to clean my Barrett.

Did you consult Tossy McSalad about the change? Tossy hasn't chimed in for some time...

Well, maybe they could burn some ceremonial tires alongside the Thruway in sympathy?

"He was flailed to death with Wonder Bras."

That's the way it happens in CIN. DAL is batting a thousand here, so far...all 3, and now 4, have been/will be shown.

When I win the Mega Millions, I shall sue any university or college that has a Women's Health Center and no Men's Health Center. Title IX is about equal services for all. The mortality of men is less than that of women. Therefore, men need more advice and help. I'll fix the college wagons, so that they can no longer discriminate against men and pour an unequal amount of their cash to service the needs of co-eds while ignoring men. Whatcha think? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX

Good (sad) points, Tom... The line from the long dead Walt Kelly Pogo comic strip - "We have met the enemy, and he is us"...

Work up a form letter and relate your story to FBI, TSA, the credit reporting businesses here in the States, the airlines, the car rental companies - domestic and international, the hotel chains, your State's AG office, the Indian government, and Interpol. Mail hard copy - the volume of email for many folks in the public and private sector is so burdensome, you will likely get zapped away as low priority by the receivers in their attempt to maintain some level of sanity. http://www.interpol.int/public/icpo/default.asp

Must I now justify my posts to a cheesy self-styled provacatuer that can't spell or capitalize his peckings? "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest"? Buy some so, so, chi-chi Luciano Padovan spikes. Your fetish demands premium foot ware. If you are in a mood for edification - look up the quote and the shoes.

Paint the picture for me, if the networks announced a Bush victory 2 hours instead of one hour before the polls closed, changing voter turnout, and Gore was handed a win. Don't speak of popular vote - the Electoral College was put into the constitution for obvious reason - and if any Dem hangs his hat on the popular vote, they need to explain why Hillary isn't their Presidential candidate. I'm sure you are aware of the effect of the tv crowd's talking heads and coverage on voter turnout, and that it caused them to put their tail between their network legs the next year and halt their premature ejaculations until polls are officially closed. Give me your scenario of an 8-year Gore Administration. No doubt you've seen film of his rants, and possibly his BS movie, his huge "carbon footprint" despite his enviro-speak. Where would we be with Al? Would he have complained - unlike Bush - about poor information received from Bill's administration, leading up to 9-11? We know that some mid-level FBI person under the Clinton Adm. put the info about foreign nationals on the back burner and their airliner pilot training. But today, Bush is held responsible for the actions or inaction of any and all of the millions of folks working for the Federal government. Aren't Bill and Al culpable? Are they also responsible for the actions of every Federal employee, shouldn't they have known? Why didn't the media excoriate them as they do for Bush? Would Al have heeded these warnings? Followed his party shakers and movers, and went into Iraq? Was Bush a fool to believe in the intelligence collections of the Clinton Administration? http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.asp Would Al have followed the law, as promulgated in Clinton's Iraqi Liberation Act? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Liberation_Act

40 years ago - the female principal would put them over her knee and spank them in the hall. The mortification would guarantee that they would never do it again, and the rest of the school children would be slack-jawed and would never ever think of doing the same and suffering the embarrassment. Getting paddled by a Grandma would work today - in an era where image and conformity means so much than in years past, the very idea of such would halt a lot of crap. Of course now, that grandma goes to jail, get branded a sex offender and has to move somewhere in the hinterland and has to report her whereabouts. Today - public schools aren't allowed to show the young valuable lessons about behavior, and how one should act in a civil society anymore. Liberals decreed that that such teaching was oppressive, a long time ago, and put forth laws to insure same. See the deportment that take place at an NFL game these days to see the results - even ones older who were taught better, sometimes go with the popular flow - the usual justifications for ruining temperate folk's enjoyment is that "I paid for my ticket, I'm a fan, you're not a *&$#! fan, it's MY *&%%!!@# right!!!, &*#$% You, I'm here, whatta you gonna do about it?" and so on. Time was, one's behavior in public got transmitted back to one's employer. Be a pain in the butt to general society - you got canned. So a certain percentage prone to mayhem acted decently because they liked to eat more than they liked to hurt others. No more. Time was, you could ask about a prospective employee's performance, his behavior among others. No more - just did he work there. Tough luck if the chap is a psycho boiling over - the Libs said such fact was discriminatory. See all those workplace shoot-ups the past 20 years or so. Time was, a fellow charged with a criminal crime had his prior record placed before a jury. If he had a rap sheet a mile long, say rapes, beatings, tossing gasoline on puppies, and so on - it was offered to the jury for their consideration. Libs changed that. Lots of jurists have been surprised that they have acquitted monsters. I think the jerk's egregious action precludes any consequences to these kids, aided by the threat of suit. There is no public school system in the land that doesn't hold money for themselves far above what's the right thing to guide kids towards adulthood. I'm reminded of this thing in the news a few weeks ago - a "100 Esteemed College Presidents" advocate a reduction in the drinking age - the same pap..."they can vote, they can join the military and so forth". I saw through their con the day they uttered it. They didn't give a flying crap about any glittering ideals - a reduction in the legal drinking age to 18 means that their cash crop - their students - are free, legal agents, and their hallowed Halls of Education would no longer be subject to civil or possible criminal suit when an under- 21 year old tyke under their aegis suffered ill consequence to themselves or others. Pure craven, bottom-line behavior...

condescendingly I reliably assume that 99.9% percent of kids running around in ape costumes are being silly. If I didn't, I'd be a candidate for the gas pipe...

I wouldn't allow this so-called assistant principal the luxury of being simply guilty of poor judgment. His level of analysis of a spontaneous situation arising from the actions of silly kids is inferior to the instincts of a juvenile cockroach.

Stick around long enough. You'll change your tune.

Well...you certainly wouldn't expect the National Bolshevik Committee, the Clinton News Network, the Communist Broadcast Slant, the American Beijing Comrades, the National Politburo Review or The Nothing Foils Loot Network to actually report a story on the activities of a Massachusetts business - would you?

"The crowd reacts with laughter, but the assistant principal jumps over the fence and with the help of another person hand the boys over to police." Amazing. I wonder if I'd rather one of the ape costumers shot the nuts off of that supercilious a-hole. Then, only then, do you call the police. That kids are goofy should be no surprise to no one, especially this civil service clown who theoretically got employed in part because of his understanding of such a simple, historical truism...
