Okay...lets say you have 2 colors, lets say black and white. Now add a little white to the black and it still looks pretty black. Add a little black to the white and your white just got pretty gray. Point is, (and I could be wrong), that one blue vote will color a county more purple than one red vote will. I think a government funded story is in order.

Okay...I'll humor you. The 11 states of the old confederacy Georgia Bush +17 South Carolina Bush +17 North Carolina Bush +12 Florida Bush +5 Virginia Bush +9 Texas Bush +23 Louisiana Bush +5 Tennessee Bush +14 Alabama Bush +26 Arkansas Bush +9 Mississippi Bush +20 Now the northeastern states: Maine Kerry +8 New Hampshire Kerry +1 Massachusetts Kerry +25 Connecticut Kerry +10 Rhode Island Kerry +21 New Jersey, Kerry +7 Delaware Kerry +7 Maryland Kerry +13 D.C. Kerry +81! New York Kerry +18 Pennsylvania Kerry +2 So clearly looking over those numbers there is a north/south devide. The same would be true if looking at the mountain states vs. the left coast. the only true battleground states are midwestern states. This divide has gotten STRONGER over the last 4 years. Read zell millers book "a national party no more" and i think you will begin to understand why. The south used to be STRONGLY democratic, but slowly has turned more and more repubican. Another quick comment about this divide thing. Both political parties need to pit us against each other in order to have political success. Its sick, but its what they need to survive. We as people need to step up and tell them we are sick of it.

Sorry, that was me.

Perhaps if Mr. Kerry had positioned himself more as a pro-war anti-terrorism candidate, the presence of the bin laden tape wouldnt have hurt him so much. But with his global test, and votes against the war, something like that was bound to do him in. Good riddance Mr. Kerry

You guys are somethign else. EM is getting FED UP. As are we all. I am glad that he is standing up and making this known. Its painful for me to watch these games, and im not out there every sunday running routes and getting beat up only to see Drew get sacked 5 times and throw 3 picks. He sees his friend TO in philly doing what he is doing, and has to feel he should be doing the same...AND HE SHOULD BE. I dont fault EM one iota on this one folks. He is understandably frustrated.

That is called predatory pricing, and HIGHLY illegal. Biggest corporate problem in History if what you are saying comes to pass.

Hmm...if only i had more info to provide the IRS than "some guy named Rico on TBD."

The company will often limit the percentage. But the IRS limits the maximum dollar amount. Once you hit the 14k (or whatever it is this year), your contrubutions will stop, as will your employers. This could cost you alot of money in matching contributions you will not get. Remember the limit is on how much YOU put in. Do not include the amount your employer pays in this calculation.

Yeah...that was money well spent.... /still bitter about sunday night

He was the #3 qb. The game was out of hand. he was coming off an injury (that by most accounts wasnt 100% healed). Granted you are ALWAYS supposed to be ready to go in the game, but he had to know he was going to sit this one out.

Remember, I dont know how much you make, but there is a cash dollar amount as to how much you can put in. Be careful. If you max out your contribution in october, your contributions will stop, as will your employer matching contributions. The max was 11,500 of YOUR contributions, but I know it has gone up. Im guessing its somewhere in the 14000 range now.

As I have been saying for a while, IT WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR JP TO BE ON THE FIELD THIS YEAR. He was drafted as a 2-3 year project. He was very raw. Hence the Drew Extension. I would love it if he came along faster than that, but the reality is this is not what was intended. Now sit drew and let matthews start!

Ahh yes...the kicker. Good call. REPLACE.

Umm...what? Nobody is proposing a constitutional ammendment banning abortion. You do realize that not all laws are in the constituton, right? This is one of the things you are right about, but its important to remeber that this NEVER would have come about if a couple activist courts did not step in and try to take matters into thier own hands. Most republicans, including myself are against this. Not because I wouldnt like to see arnold be president, but because I cannot say I want the next non-citizen to be president. Its wrong. And the majority of americans, nevermind republicans are against it. These are senate rules, it has NOTHING to do with the constitution. The senate can change them all they want to. The problem here is that the democratic party is using fillibusters as a means of not allowing a vote on judicial nominees. If you are appointed by a president to do a job, the senate needs to put you up for a vote. This, while prefectly legal in the senate, is an inproper use of filibustering. I admit to knowing nothing about this, so i will not pass judgement on this. Dear god, is this 1995? When did this come up again? I believe this word is ALREADY IN the pledge of allegiance, and for 200 years has been constitutional. An ammendment to the constitution to grant the use of the word, is absurn and unneccesary. Again, WHAT?! How do you even make this stuff up?

I dont know. Take a look at what is happening in washington. I would hate to tarnish marv's legacy in the same way.

I dont. Listen, this team IS NOT THAT BAD. Granted we look horrible, but we ARE NOT FAR OFF. At least not as far off as san diego was last season, or carolina the year before. Our defense will return, less possibly Big Pat, but Edwards will not be much of a dropoff. Wilis will be one year further along. Drew can pull a brees (doubtful, but ya never know), or losman will be starting. The O-Line needs some work, but we have a draft and free agency to adress that, and actually I have seen some pretty good improvement with the line this season. What we REALLY need to do, is fix the O-Line, and find a quarterback worthy of being on the field. Once we do that, Willis will take off, evans will be more involved in the game plan, and I think reed can become a serviceable #3 guy. Guys, RELAX! Its not that bad. Really.

ebay knows about it and is allowing it because they prohibit "joke items". Since they actually beileve the seller can furnish the item, they are allowing it to proceed. Though I doubt it will actually sell for 99,999,999....

Are you kidding me? Talent is NOT the issue. We have a TON of "Talent" on this team. The problem is that talent alone is not enough. I dont know how to solve the problem, but getting more talent guys will just produce more of the same. We need winners. BTW, who on the squad besides milloy and drew has a ring? Fletcher?

I THINK you have to get more than 76 yards through the air a game in order to be considered a "passing team"

As a bleeding yankees fan since the danny tardabull era, I WOULD NOT accept pedro martinez as a yankee. You want to destroy a fan base? Sign pedro. Is he a good pitcher? Yes. Very good in fact. But he will get no accolades from me as a yankee. He will never be a "New York Yankee". This isnt roger clemens part II. Clemens had class and respect. Clemens was a likeable guy, who people could rally behind. Pedro is a self rightous punk, who needs to be put in his place. I would rather have drew bledsoe pitching for the yanks than pedro...and these days, thats saying alot.

We are off topic now, so i might as well continue... We have 2 parties. Democrats believe that the government should provide for you that which you are unable to provide for yourself. And Republicans, who believe that the government should help you be able to better yourself and your future. Its the whole "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime" approach. Now, there are MANY things about the republican platform of late that I disagree with. But I will save those for another day, but I do know that if you are going to give a tax cut, it goes to the people who pay taxes. In business, competition cures all, and profit is not inherently bad.

Who did you vote for in the democratic primaries? If it was kerry or dean, you need to take some blame. Bush was a VERY beatable candidate, all it took was a worthy opponent.

Funny how bush has gone from being stupid, so he surounds himself with highly talented people to "Bush is supreme ruler and everyone around his is his lapdog"

Wade made a mistake in dealing with the whole Flutie/RJ situation. I think if he had chosen one of them (for better or worse), things might have worked out a bit better.

I think she is more suited to be sec state than NSA. This is a good fit for her. Cabinet members are supposed to be experts in thier field, and this she is. There are few people who are qualified for each and every cabinet position, she is fortunate enough to be qualified for several. That said, I am a conservative, but I can see why some people do not like rumsfeld, ashcroft and many other members of this administration. I can even see it if someone had a problem with powell, but Rice is beyond me. I just dont see where you are coming from here.
