The Miami game is THE rivalry. Always has been, always will be. And no, the rivalry has not been replaced by the Pats*. Ridiculous, that we lose the Miami game to TOR. I would far rather give TOR the Monday nite game than the Miami game.

I'm pissed we lost the f$#kin Miami game. I try and go to that one every year. That sucks. F----Toronto!

I really like your mock draft. I would be ecstatic if that were our draft.

Cedar Point and Hershey Park don't open till May.

You have fallen in my eyes.

Sorry, didn't see a thread about it. If already discussed, Darin can delete this thread.

Apparently, there is a term with which I am unfamiliar..reconquista...meaning that eventually Mexicans will make up such a proportion of the American Southwest that they will try to return that territory to Mexico. Anyone know anything about this whole concept? Absolut Vodka has decided to play on the idea with this ad below that they were forced to pull over the weekend. The ad apparently ran in Mexico, stirring a bit of nationalism. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/04/absol...reconquista-ad/

And the plastic surgeon will take care of the other 5%. A good one and you will barely, if ever, know she was pregnant.

Congrats. I can't believe I came in 3rd!!

You heard that today? Sounded like a moron.

Nah, the Gov't will just socialize the downside risk of loss. See ....ding...Hot Pocket is ready!!

The official definition is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth (usually measured as GDP). When results are tabulated, we may see Q108 as being the first of the two quarters. Problem with the definition is that you can't officially say that we are in a recession until we are two quarters into the game.

No offense intended by this McCain backer, but the recession fears are real and the economy is in very real trouble. I don't think this is overblown at all. Housing prices and inflation (including food and energy, cause to exclude is BS) are the two major concerns.

Nice list. Let me confess me ignorance, and please someone enlighten me, Best Exit?

Fixed it for you.

I would actually be thrilled if we picked a DE at 11 and used our 2 and 4 to get back into the late 1st and grab a WR. We would still have the 3 for a CB and the compensatory 4 for a TE.

Based upon your description, the Anchorage-MatSu Valley Bridge makes a lot of sense. The other bridge, not so much. Is the ferry system that inefficient?

Excellent. Then today I'm thinking of a threesome with myself and two hot blondes, a great steak from Sparks and a glass or two of Scotland's finest. I can't friggin wait till tomorrow.

What he said. Your son will probably listen to a third party. Go to a hitting instructor and have him do the teaching. They use video review, and you really see things that you would not otherwise see.

I'd like to suggest the following Aussie Shiraz from Mollydooker, that I have been drinking around NYC lately. Its big and bold, and pretty reasonably priced. Try the Boxer.. Mollydooker Winery

You're correct, however the States are the front-liners identifying trends aimed at consumers. States have no clue how to regulate modern institutions, but they are effective at protecting residents from scams and identifying them earlier in the process than Federal regulators or SROs. A good example of this is the coordinated State campaign aimed at the free-lunch-for-seniors.

It also strips certain entities of regulatory responsibilities (such as State regulators). The State securities regulators serve an important front-line role that will be severely curtailed by the proposal. I'm still digesting exactly what the proposal means for all involved entities.

Bad. If you believe in capitalism. This steps toward socialism. Not to mention empowering the entity that created the mess in the first place (the Fed).

Do NOT put 20% down if you can avoid it. Put 11% down, overlay a fixed-rate HELOC and bank the remainder (or pay the 6.5 student loan debt). With home prices dropping nationally, the less I have tied up in an illiquid asset, and subject to extreme market risk, the better I would feel.

Wonderful idea...lets turn out the lights on the casino floor for Earth Hour. Tomorrow's headlines read "Riot Breaks Out on Casino Floor...67 Injured"
