John Adams

Brokaw is a solid choice. I'm not sure how well he'll do in the seat when it comes time to pin people down but he's got the chops. Ironically, another Buffalonian Wolf Blitzer, would also be a good long-term replacement.

He's one of those guys I likes but didn't follow in detail. His rap on religion is hilarious (see below). http://www.wespeakthetruth.com

Thanks. And that's assuming 200K doesn't get you a room in shelter, ie, if you live near a big city. Here in Philadelphia where housing is actually pretty cheap compared to placed like SD where you are, 200K isn't going to get you a nice neighborhood or even a decent single family dwelling. 100K/year isn't something to sneeze at but it's not exactly easy living.

Don't you have to have a hit to be a one-hit wonder?

When you get to the real world, give us a call. INCOME Let's assume your salary is 100K. I'll lop off about 30K to various taxes because it makes easy math, so you have 70K to spend in a year. INCOME TOTAL: 70,000 BILLS (yearly): Mortgage(200K home/30yr mortgage with with property tax estimated): 24K Student loans (100K): 12K Childcare for 2 kids: 12K Food: 12K __ Those are the big bills. And they add up to 60K. Which leaves 10K for things like saving for college (for kids). Retirement savings. Healthcare (good luck paying for healthcare for a family of 4 for 10K). Cars. Gas. Phone. Water. Better hope the roof doesn't leak. Good luck with your theory that 100K can "go a long way."

Ding. Publicity stunt. And I kinda like Kid Rock too. Artists in the future won't make as much money off the release of their music--they will have to kick ass live to make the real scratch.

Cue PastaJoe in 3, 2, 1...

Not for some things, no.

You steal and yet don't let others do the same. Not only are you a thief, you're a thief without honor. But hey, you have lots of music so why should you care?

Plenty of people have disagreed with me and I could care less. Some are even friends. The truth is that few people have done more to drag this community down than you.

It was too much to hope that Molson's toxicity wouldn't settle elewhere. Please...go away. You're not wanted or welcome here.

It's hard being so wrong--good job.

First. It makes no sense to have Russert on the wall. Second, your post is pointless. Third, based on the second point, you and jimshiz make a perfect team!

The Hulk will be the biggest flop of the Summer. No chance it makes it's money back. Why? Hulk stupid.

Journalism lost a beacon. The profession is worse off tomorrow than it was yesterday. We are worse off as a public than we were yesterday. I watch one TV news show. MTP. That's it. I may still watch MTP but it won't be the same.

You should stop. Really. There is not a better American political journalist. More importantly, he had the respect of everyone, right and left, even though he was liberal. Every journalist without exception could take a lesson from Russert. The profession lost its best today.

Russert was the best at what he did: not a person in Washington of ANY note missed his show. He meant that much.

I probably won't see it but it's going to get a lot of press when it's released--poking fun at religion is pretty taboo in the US. Preview of the surely-biased documentary below. In one part of the preview, a guy is sure that Santa Claus is not real but of course is certain Jesus is the son of god. http://www.lionsgate.com/religulous/

Maybe we should merge these threads. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=67222

People like that should be shot, not arrested.

That stojan with the chief and his wife was a complete dead end waste of time. They could have done that plotline (if it even matters) in 15 minutes. I want those 2.5 hours of my life back.

I like the judge's reaction to all of this. Basically he's saying, "Who cares and grow up." At the same time, he's allowing the parties in the obscenity case to challenge his objectivity if they want to.

Every time an !@#$ leaves TBD, an angel gets its wings.

Why?

Does anyone really care? Why would anyone care to regulate porn (except for child-porn)? Who cares and isn't the community standard now just about completely accepting of porn? Hard to say the community wants it regulated when the porn industry makes more money than the Hollywood box office. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/06/chief-judge-in.html
