This poor kid. Three evacs. The weather gods must be REALLY pissed at him. Hey stevestojan, when are you gone?

Regardless of what game is on...is there possibly a BETTER way to spend a Sunday night?

And oddly enough only one of us knows how to spel "a lot."

Oh, man. Look. His service is questionable. So is Bush's. Know why they're questionable? Because people are questioning them. That makes the service questionable. And I'm afraid the guy from Hemet raises some very good points and instead of giving him a good story about Kerry, you bitchslap Bush, blame the guy from Hemet for not trying hard enough, and then send him to Kerry's website. In reality, he IS trying hard enough. That's why he's here. To ask questions. And what's the first thing you do? Tell him...."You know what you're problem is? You don't try hard enough to seek answers." And let me add this, as a person who has spent virtually his entire life in marketing: With an audience this large, with such a short attention span, you highlight your strengths in sound bites and you bury your weaknesses where few people will find them. You think Tom TV is going to johnkerry.com because he's up for surfing his way through pages of crap just to find out how Kerry feels about gun control? You think he's going over to georgewbush.com to find out what our president thinks about the economy? Please. It sounds good, but the truth is, presidential websites are a great place to throw people off course. People hear what they hear on the news...they scan the headlines when they pick up the paper. And then they make a decision as long as is doesn't take time away from the next episode of "Survivor." Thank God people like the guy from Hemet at least came here looking for answers. Nice job trying to convert him over to your product.

This may very well be the wrong question to ask, but just out of curiosity, do you think the laws would be any different if the man was the one who actually gave birth? On another note; Have any of you ever spawned a child unexpectedly, and have it lead to the woman having an abortion? I did. Once. Apparently. We'll never know for sure. About 20 years ago, off a fling with a chick from the office. She was seeing someone else, and cheated on him with me. Came back later, said she was pregnant. Went to her boyfriend, and he said "Can't be me, I'm shooting blanks." So it must be me. And no, I had no money to do anything other than to shut up, listen and pray. The point is...I always felt I didn't have a say in her choice. I asked her what she wanted to do, she said "have an abortion," and that was that. She arranged it, I paid for it, and that was the end of it. But as it turns out, I DID have a say in her decision. I just never spoke up because whatever I was going to say already agreed with her decision. In fact, I agreed so much, I offered to pay. Sounds so cliche. But honestly...other than being there afterwards, what else can a broke 23-year-old do? She sat and cried for two straight hours. Worst one-night stand of my life.

So now...what?...you're into necrophilia?

Glad to hear everything came out alright.

Pennington will always be a better quarterback than Brady until the day I see Brady juke Eddie Robinson out of his shorts.

Because I TIVO everything, I rarely turn on my hi-def DSS because I have so much recorded on my standard receiver which uses the TIVO. The hi-def receiver only ever comes on for football. I only recently made a commitment to watch some regular TV in hi-def, starting with my favorite show "Law and Order" and one of my spouse's favorite shows "Third Watch." Holy shamolie! It is definitely time for a hi-def TIVO. Once the price comes down a bit. You've already seen them go from $1500 to under $900 in a short time span. In no time at all they'll be at $500. And THEN it will be time to make the plunge. The guy from Alaska is correct, incidentally. Even if all you COULD do with TIVO is record stuff, it kills a VCR, if for on other reason than to skip through commericals at the speed of sound. My personal favorite TIVO feature is pausing live TV. Phone rings...someone at the door...and BOOM!...you're not missing a thing. Then BOOM! you go back to watching. Then BOOM! you pause it again while you take the Turducken out of the oven.

Actually, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Your initial argument is that the UN provided what you perceive to be a tepid response to Bush's speech. You imply, or at least I inferred from your implication, that the UN must have a problem with Bush and our war in Iraq. Given that Annan has been very critical of our involvement in Iraq, wouldn't your original argument make more sense if you said "The UN replies with crickets to Bush's speech, but give rounds of applause to Annan's speech." THAT would be something of a comparison. That's all I'm asking, LasBillz...and quite frankly I don't think it takes THAT high of an IQ to understand that. Unless of course there is no other response except to pick on people's IQs.

Same thing I do every Sunday. Watch football. Keeping a particular eye on the Fish game. By the way, stevestojan, here's what you're looking for.

So you put Edwards on the ticket to provide charisma, and then keep him hidden from public view most of the time? Good plan there, Mr. Micromanager.

So you have no basis for comparison? You just saw what you thought you wanted to see, and THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU? How can you honestly be critically observant about something when you have no basis for comparison?

A little comic humor.

Isn't that always the case?

I once worked for a company owned by three brothers who fought and disagreed all the time. I asked the oldest brother how he put up with it. He said that if all three brothers agreed all the time on every single matter, there would really be no need for two of the brothers.

Holly Cole Trio. Jazz group out of Canada. Her voice is incredible.

PeeWee Herman. Now there's a misunderstood jerkoff.

Six points. Eight points. Who cares. We lost by three.

Excuse me...did someone say something?

Hell, I was just surprised to find out the Pats actually have their own message board.

One can only hope they'll try to make amends in two weeks, but it'll only happen if the crowd reminds them what they did.

Must...not...respond. Must...not...fall...into...trap.

I've always suspected a lot of this goes back to Ralph's position during the referee strike a handful of years ago. If memory serves me, he took a not-so-favorable position with the refs and we've been getting slammed with stupid penalties ever since.

Did they apologize yet because we didn't bench Bledsoe and put in Matthews?
