John Adams

Again, intoxication does not mean that she was legally incapable. Neither of us knows if he's a rapist in this case. That's a fact. Both of us know he's not a good person.

As has already been said, RBs are (1) disposable (ie, short lifespan in the NFL) and (2) useless behind a bad O-line. Hell, it took Barry Sanders absurd skill to even put up decent numbers in Detroit. Spiller is no Sanders. The Bills need a long term investment (OT preferably, DE/NT less preferably, or even QB). RB is not a position of need and RBs are completely fungible. Not many teams ever sucked solely because of a bad RB. Lots of teams suck because of a bad QB or terrible line.

A medium RB looks like an all-pro behind a real O-line. See Thomas Jones in 2009. See any back that ever played under Shanny in Denver. The Bills don't need Spiller no matter how talented he is. He'd be wasted behind their line and without a QB worth a spit. BTW, Spiller is a stud. Just not the right pick for this team.

I have a daughter. Evidence of intercourse does not equal rape. And evidence of intoxication does not equal inability to give consent.

Hey, I KNOW I should be supreme leader but our system doesn't allow that. Nor does it allow firing the American people. So I am stuck with option 3, firing incumbents, or at least always trying to.

Bush gave everyone $1000 and told them to spend it. Why not just give people the thing they are going to buy and cut out the check-writing part?

It's been tacked onto the 2010 Thumb Fitness for Teens Act.

Over 95% of Congress incumbents get reelected. I have no confidence.

What's a little populism between friends? Did you catch this part of the article he linked?

No, my point is that unless the antichrist is running as the challenger, no incumbent at the federal or state level will get my vote in Novermber. (Of course, I haven't voted for an incumbent in so long that my decision on this is not going tomake a difference.)

That might be true but I plan on firing the people who suck. If their replacements suck, I'll fire them too.

I cannot believe all the government plans popping up about how to get mortgages easier to obtain and modify right now. In terms of lessons learned, it seems like we can't even remember yesterday's, let alone lessons from a couple years ago.

You and me are on the same page. I was piling on--not arguing with you. The article leads with the tactless joke when the rest of the memo is much more offensive.

I have no problem with the "joke," although it's not professional and union-typical. The bigger issue is the rest of the usual union tactics. Here's a gov trying to put his fiscal house in order. Guess what: That comes with pain.

Piling on, I'd have to say he was one of the most boring guests on Howard Stern ever. He seemed like a nice guy and definitely didn't put on airs but he was dull.

And yet Lee Westwood and Phil Couples were gracious in their loss. I'm just pointing out that Tiger is ever Tiger. He's an insane competitor in the mold of Jordan, Bird, and others. A miserable SOB who can't stand watching his competition succeed. He is driven by the same bile that drove the oilman in There Will Be Blood.

The day I quit, I get bubkis from my company. Maybe a clock and a bottle of champagne. Sounds like you got a sweet deal to me.

Tiger was his usual competitive self in the post-tourney interview. "I am not happy with fourth." No thanks for the fans or players. No happy to be back. Just pissed he didn't win. Just like Jordan: No turning off the competitive drive and being a human being.

No he didn't. He made mistakes and played amazing to get out of trouble. The second shot at 13 was phenomenal. Such a great contrast to Tiger.

Half a mil ain't getting you far.

You own the eBay storefront that sells the lawn-jockeys?

Count that among the things I (a) don't believe and (b) don't care about.

Your poor lonely brain cell.

"Only in Poland" is your idea of a Polish "joke?" Jesus, even your sense of humor doesn't work right. You are beyond the dumbest poster here. No small feat. This is a Polish joke. Did you hear about the Polish Admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died? Five sailors died digging his grave.
