If the UAW pulls that off, and gets the government to keep giving GM money through 2009 and 2010, almost every worker in America should try and sign up...that some serious clout!

Got my vote... Seriously, good luck. Saving whatever you can when paying for a wedding is important. Of course, you wake up the next day saying to yourself..."Why did I ever think it was a good idea to spend that much?"

I completely agree here. For many reasons, but chiefly, if you can vote for leaders and die for your country, you should be able to walk into a bar and order a beer at 18. Also, many Euro countries have no drinking age and there is very little "forbidden fruit" aspect associated with alcohol. Even Canada, with its 19 year old drinking age, doesn't have (to my knowledge) the alcohol problems we have.

The school behind the museum at Farmingdale? Any one specifically I should ask for?

Tebow could be a very effective weapon for 8-10 plays a game, if used properly. Tebow could run 3-5 times, catch a couple and throw a few passes. If he can learn to block, he could be effective in 3rd down packages. His presence out there would allow for 2 QBs on the field at the same time, at least one a lefty. I'll bet a decent OC could really dream up some good stuff for Tebow (as long as the OC doesn't expect TeBow to be an every-down QB).

The whole process costs less than you would probably imagine in the NYC area. The main thing holding me back is time.

Damn right...such a little sexpot. She looked like she would be a lot of fun in the sack too.

How long did you take to complete the training? I have always wanted to do it, a conversation with a friend about 6 months ago who is about 1/2 way to his instrument rating got me really thinking. I've been doing some research and can't wait to start.

I'm planning to start to fulfill a lifelong dream and get my pilot's license (including instrument certification). I'd probably be taking lessions out at Farmingdale airport. Any tips, recommendations etc. Thanks in advance for any help.

I did. As a Duke fan, I can now say the following with respect to college basketball.... Boston College > Chapel Hill Community College Harvard > Boston College ergo... Harvard > Chapel Hill Community College

You mean like James Hardy, Ryan Denney and Chris Kelsey, Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed? I'm not knocking those guys, but none of them are game-changers that you have to game-plan for. Winslow is. How much under/over coverage would Evans see with Winslow running down the middle of the field? Think we might be able to single up Parrish on an old-ass Pats LB if the safeties have to worry about Winslow? Winslow (or Tony G or Owen Daniels) would instantly upgrade our entire offense. We finish at least 10-6 this year if we could have pulled off the Tony G trade. A true receiving threat at TE will really make this offense go.

Bring him in...I'd give Cleveland our 2 for him. He's proven he can play in the NFL and be successful.

I like both this guy's ideas...Garcia and Daniels. And, yes, I'd give up the #11 to sign this guy. If we were looking at Gresham at 11, well, Daniels has already proved he can play and excel in the league.

Millbank! How are you man? Hope all is well and glad to see you on the wall.

Wow, cool idea. Pretty awful that Kelso never responded. What did you do with the set?

You are probably correct...but per Rotoworld... I'd love for him to be there in the mid-rounds, one helluva WR prospect and the best KR in CFB.

I'd be thrilled with Jeff Garcia as a backup, if he's interested. He is an UFA. Kerry Collins is also an UFA. Finally, Charlie Batch could be a decent backup and is an UFA.

It was fun back in the day. I had a lot of that set 1983 Fleer set. I was pretty into the baseball cards from about 1983 through 1987, the peak of the boom. I invested much of my allowance in Griffey Jr., Mattingly, Canseco and Gregg Jefferies rookie cards. Didn't work out so well, but it was fun. I also used tos end cards through the mail to get autographed. My true prize was a Don Mattingly Columbus Clippers card that he signed and sent back. I had it framed in my room.

Am I nuts in thinking that Brandon Tate will still go in the first 4 rounds if he proves he is healthy? If he is there in the 5th, do we take a flyer? Imagine Tate and McKelvin back there to return the kickoff...have to kick it to someone!

I appreciate the comparison, thanks. A couple follow-up questions because I don't know and you have seem to have watched both of the prospects. Has Mack taken on big, college DTs right in his face (i.e. has he been tested in that situation in college)? Was he blown off the ball (or otherwise miserable against them)? Could he be good against the real big guys? If he can get to the second line and is very intelligent with respect to line calls he sounds great, but if he can't hold his own on the line against 3-4 NTs, we could be looking at Trey Teague II. You seem to be advocating sticking with Preston for a year or two. Do you think Preston could be a decent center on the BIlls line, given our divisional opponents? I saw an inconsistent player who alternated good games with bad. As a 5th year vet who couldn't beat out Fowler, thats not good.

True, but what also matters (in my understanding) is that Congress can set its requirements for membership, but they cannot add requirements not specifically enumerated in the US Constitution (such as age and citizenship). The Constitution does not mention certification by the Secretary of State. This was clarified in a 1969 SCOTUS decision, Powell vs. McCormack. Like it or not, the appointment appears to be legal and Burris should be seated. He was appointed by a sitting governor who has not been indicted or convicted of any crimes. To not seat Burris is a massive slippery slope you are going down. ALso, if the Secretary of State will not discharge his duties, as directed by a sitting governor, the secretary of State should be immediately replaced. Thats insubordination. Finally, Durbin should be especially outraged since everything in the Senate depends on senority. Even a few days seniority make a big difference when it comes to committee assignments etc. Its why Patterson should have gotten off his a$$ and appointed Hillary's successor immediately, no matter who it was.

I would look to offer small businesses (say with less than x number of employees) tax breaks tied to new hiring and breaks tied to no layoffs. If there is a way for a business to avoid layoffs or make new hires, I would strongly incentivize this behavior. My target would be small businesses as they support most of the job creation in the US.

I wouldn't go so far as to give a tax "break" to the "rich," but Obama's tax cut plan will take the number to over 50% of all Americans who receive a net gain from the Federal government. This eliminates any incentive for this over 50% to watch government spending and control costs. IMHO, just about every person needs to have a minimal tax outflow to the Federal government, if only as an incentive to watch how their taxes are spent. That old line "I pay may taxes so..." Well, not really.

Not trying to be cute, but how is he wrong? I've read everywhere that Mack is one of the best OC prospects in years, we seem to have a glaring weakness at the OC position...natural fit? Seems like it. You disagree. OK, but why and how is Mack not a good fit for the Bills?
