With my week one pick of the Texans I have officially decided that my survivor pool opinions are worthless.
As for your question, my opinion is.........worthless.

I'll say a prayer for her.
I hope they find and correct the cause of her pain.

If, however, you drag God in to the debate then the whole character of resolving community issues changes. You don't need empirical studies because God has willied it. You don't need a traffic study, it is God's will. In disagreeing with you, I am defying God's will. Now I am much more than a mere political opponent on an obscure issue. Now I am someting much worse. Suddenly, my morality and character are at issue because if I am not morally clean enough, who can trust my words as to the wisdom of a stop sign? Isn't any attack against me justified because I have an "atheist" agenda? The debate becomes impossible in that it can't conclude in a consensus decision. Even if I win, your adherents can't ever accept something that is contrary to God's will so you must continue the fight long after the vote is taken. It becomes a perpetual dispute that is never settled.
Piety has its place.
Funny. If you substitute the goverment for God in that paragraph you reverse the situation entirely. Evil republicans who don't want the government to be in charge of everything are frequently accused of wanting to starve children and deny medicine to old people. If you don't agree that the government should control the health system you want everyone to die. If you are against gun control you are for murderers running rampant. If you are against embryonic stem cell research or even have some doubt, you want cancer and every other disease to exist unabated.
It becomes hard to deal with people that automatically think you're evil because you don't worship government.
It all lies in the framing of the argument. Gore is way off base in trying to describe Bush as a simpleton and a zealot with one broad stroke. I'm not sure what question he was answering, but I am sure I don't want more attacks being planned or carried out while he studies the complexities of the situation so that he may remain above it all in his own overly academic and action averse mind.

So the jerkwads at al Qaeda released another video today and, once again, Osama was 100% absent.
No proof of life in over a year. No reason why.
If you want an "October Surprise" it'll probably be some 'leak' or announcement that OBL is most likely worm food.
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
There could me many reasons he has not appeared on tape. Being dead is only one of them.

Thanks guys, and Mark Gaughan's article this AM confirms that there was safety coverage on Shelton in the EZ...
"After two 1-yard Henry runs, Bledsoe made a play-action fake and looked to the left flat for fullback Daimon Shelton. But Jaguars safety Deke Cooper read the play and blanketed Shelton. Bledsoe had to hold on for a sack and the Bills settled for a 25-yard field goal to make it 10-6. "
Can't blame Drew for that, he made the right decision there and salvaged 3 points.
I saw the safety come over because I was looking at Shelton. I didn't really notice the guys coming at DB until later, but I was glad he did not throw it.
They should have scored on 1st or second down.

12 teams, I had 9th pick
Q Pennington, Leftwich
RB E James, F. Taylor, M. Bennett, L. Jordan
WR Moulds, Coles, Burress, T. Taylor
TE Dallas Clark, SD guy, forgot his nmae but rated pretty high
K Elam, Hanson
Def Minn Buff
Any thoughts? I waited forever to get a QB but thought I got good value elsewhere.

So can we say with absolute certainty that the documents were forged? Not yet. Xavier University's Polt, in an email, offers two possible scenarios. "Either these are later transcriptions of earlier documents (which may have been handwritten or typed on a typewriter), or they are crude and amazingly foolish forgeries. I'm a Kerry supporter myself, but I won't let that cloud my objective judgment: I'm 99% sure that these documents were not produced in the early 1970s."
If he is a Kertry supporter he must be objective and have a superior intellect, right? How does this reconcile?
The was quoted in this article:
I'm no typewriter expert, but I'd be willing to bet there is some reporter digging up the typewriteer purchase order records from Bush's unit.

I picked him up for $1 in mid 2002. We can keep guys by giving them a $5 or 20% raise, whichever is more. The bad news is, he can only be held out of 2 consecutive auctions meaning next year I have to throw him back.
If you get a chance to watch him pitch you should do it. His change is filthy ridiculous. Guys swing and I swear the ball is still 15 feet away. Then he blows them away with a fastball the next time. I have laughed at several AL hitters this year because I knew what was about to happen and they were oblivious.
He is young and may get rattled in the playoffs (he did last year), but I have a feeling he has turned a big corner.
What's that you ask? Who did I pick up cheap this year that reminds me of Santana of '02? Well, that would be..................................
Wilfredo Ledezma, Detroit Tigers. Pick him up now if you can keep him.
-
It is our decision. You are correct. Therefore you must view this poll as ridiculous in the first place. Correct?
As an aside, I prefer Pat Buchanan over Chirac in the next French election.

Rescind the franchise of the fishies, burn their uniforms, and delete all of their games from the record books.

Isn't it always the first time (and last time) in a suicide pool? Don't do it man, it isn't worth it.
As for any picks, why would I give that up when there is a survivor pool in the TBD contest? My picks will remain secret until I am eliminated (next week).

I don't care what you call success in this struggle, whether you call it "winning" or "containment". Are we winning? Are we containing? We see terrorist strikes from LAX to Chechnya, from Kabul to Riyadh. Is this an acceptable level of containment? This isn't a political debate, it is a debate on tactics.
Winning/losing, containing or not?
I think the only way you'd be able to tell for sure would be to create a parallel universe or two and try a few different approaches. Has our effort and the effort of other countries been perfect? No. Should we expect perfection?
I haven't read the book you're reading but I'd hope the author would at least offer (detailed) alternative actions if he's being so critical.

It's nice too see you guys finished up the draft. After my selection of Martina McBride in the first round, I just left.
Any word on who got Spacely's Sprockets and/or the Millennium Falcon?

As of now, it appears that the Bills have cut five fomer draft choices, all mid or late picks: Sullivan, Sobieski, Sape, Stevenson and Smith. I was suprised about Stevenson; I thought he played well on special teams.
I think these cuts are good evidence that we are failing to find diamonds in the rough in the later rounds. How many late round picks from the TD era are starting for the Bills? How many are quality back-ups?
This proves my theory that Donahoe has soured on guys whose last names begin with S. He had been enamored with them until recently.
Spikes is next.

Thanks for the pass.
I think it's the first joke I've ever cut and paste and I don't remember seeing it. Sorry.

QUESTION: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and Southern Republicans?
ANSWER: Pose the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
-------------------------------------------------------------
DEMOCRAT'S ANSWER:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or Oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be contented just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

Who from PPP will be there?
I'd like to go but may not be able to get there. I have a set plan every year for the opener. I may be able to swing by for a bit though.

I've thought for a while now that it may be a better strategy to have McGahee as our "4th quarter" back rather than our "3rd Down" back. To me it fits his style better and could do some serious damage. The only thing I'd be worried about is the creation of an actual (not press induced) rift between Henry and McGahee.
Is it possible Henry's cramps were not real?
