  1. While I would be okay firing Pasq. today IS NOT THE DAY, and this runmor posted that IS NOT TRUE.

     

    Syracuse is tied for the big east lead. IF pit loses to south florida (unlikely, but aways possible), syracuse most likely goes to a BCS BOWL!!!!

     

    A BCS Bowl. Yes you are reading that right. A flaw in the system allowing the big east to maintain an auto bid might allow syracuse at 6-5 to make a BCS Bowl.

     

    Certainally Syracuse will not fire Pasq before the team plays in their bigest bowl game in years (if not ever). Expect this announcement, should it ever come, after syracuse plays in its bowl game this season, and certainally not before Pittsburgh takes on South Florida.

  2. your stoopid if you dont know what photoshop is

     

    LOL

     

    These are not photoshopped....

     

    I took the first 2 from yahoo news articles and saved them on my hard drive. I could no longer find them on yahoo, but i found them on these other links.

     

    The third one, i think i also got from yahoo news, but I cannot say for certain.

     

    These are NOT photoshopped, but real pictures.

     

    Regardless, even if they were photoshopped, they woudl still be funny.

  3. 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.

  4. Okay...I'll humor you.

     

    In the states Bush won... with few exceptions he did not win by a landslide. Example, he won Ohio by 2%.

     

    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

     

    In the states Kerry won... with few exceptions he did not win by a landslide. Example he won PA by only 2%.

     

    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.

  5. Dont know how expensive it is, but I went to a wedding recently at Malozzis in schenectady (might be rotterdam). At any rate, they did a very nice job. Might want to check it out if you havent already.

     

    Sorry, that was me.

  6. 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.

  7. I'm with a Fortune 125 company & the limits they set are by %, not by $... no mention of $ limits at all.

     

    After working the math, I'm contributing more than $13K.

    How can this be? (Don't tell the IRS w00t.gif )

     

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. Umm...what?

     

    1. Constitutional Amendment banning abortion.

    Nobody is proposing a constitutional ammendment banning abortion. You do realize that not all laws are in the constituton, right?

     

    2. Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage.

    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.

     

    3. Constitutional Amendment to permit Arnold to run for President.

    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.

     

    4. Elimenating filibusters in the Senate, a tactic made available by the founders which has remained intact with few changes for over 200 years.

    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.

     

    5. Elimenating the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to hear a case addressing the constitutionality of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act.

    I admit to knowing nothing about this, so i will not pass judgement on this.

     

    6. Constitutional Amendment banning flag burning.

    Dear god, is this 1995? When did this come up again?

     

    7. Constitutional Amendment granting the right to use the word "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

    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.

    8. Constitutional Amendment elimenating the Senate's right to "advise and consent" to Presidential appointments.

    Again, WHAT?! How do you even make this stuff up?
