This ought to generate some controversy
RkFast replied to TPS's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
When its a minority-centric left leaning group pulling this type of sh-- to forqward their agenda, it goes unnoticed as Status Quo and even validated by the media. But becuase a more-right leaning group is taking this tact....a JEWISH right-leaning group, its suddenly a problem. Shocker. -
Not for nothing, but IMO, Force has that "look" year after year. In the pits, and at the line, there is NO crew more intense than his. When Force lost in the finals in FL on Sunday, Austin Coil looked like he was going to kill someone...like he cannot imagine NOT winning. He cant fathom it. And he has that look whenever Force goes down. OTOH, its what makes Force so much FUN to watch. The man will break traction at the 60 foot mark and peddle than frickin' Ford all the way down the track until he finally gets the other man, sees the win-light in the other lane or he blows the engine sky- high. He NEVER gives in. Ever. Force fuggin rules.

Way to nitpick, guys. Chevez is not an enemy of the U.S.? Sheehan has also met with leaders of the Communist Party and other groups who are an Anti-US as one can get.

This is why Pro Stock remains my favorite class. A lot of what you see is still backed by technology provided direct from the manufacturers. Its still Chevy vs. Ford vs. Mopar. A lot of it is still cobbled together by the drivers and their local speed shops, too. When MOPAR got back into PS a few years back with Cokehead Alderman and Geffrion, they were pulling old Hemi big blocks out of junk cars and working them for racing. Plus, its more consistent racing. The Fuel cars are intense, but its rare you get through a whole round without at least one delay due to dropped cylinders, blower explosions, etc.

BIG fan here. The Gatornationals were great today. Go the E-town every June for at least one day. Glad to see The Queen is back in racing and Im dying to score her autograph this year. Otherwise, my fave drivers are Angelle, Dixon, Force and WJ. Pro Stock is my favorite class, but Im down with everything from the bracket racing to the Nitro cars. I love it all. And there is NOTHING like being at the track and getting a close seat for the Fuel cars!!!

Not to defend Robertson, but the next time Pat Robertson rubs elbows with some of America's arch enemies like Sheehan does, it will be his first. They are NOT in the same boat. Sheehan's worse.

At least someone didnt accuse you of being a racist for intentionally mispelling "moron". -

Ok all...this should be an easy BS/hypocrisy test for Mick. He seems to be against cutting spending here because overall, its bad for society, especially the poor. So Mick...tell us....whats your feelings on Govt. spending on and participation with faith-based charitable initiatives?

I apologize for parachuting into this thread, but I knew Mike, too and I want to add my two cents. Mike was a man's man. A good man. A good father. A good husband. A good friend. My forever lasting memory of Mike will be his bulletproof ability to spread happiness to a room or to a situation. Not that he was a cunning jokester or had some uncanny talent. It was a firm handshake, smile and a loud "How ya doing, Rich?" when you walked into the room. It was his "anytime, anywhere, anything" vibe he gave off if you needed a hand with something. It was his "no worries" approach to life. His attitude just became more and more infectious as I spent more time with him. He was the type of person that if you werent feeling so good, if you felt a little 'off', or just wanted some good company or conversation (or if you didnt agree with his politics, debate), he'd be the first person you look for. Right now he's in a better place. And its a better place because he is there. Godspeed, Mike. Youre in our hearts.

Geez, youre such a one trick pony. "The American public are morons." We know! Sure, it can be considered a success story taken at face value. But if you step back a bit, the fact that 400 Al Qaeda operatives got this close to carrying out this operation cannot be considered "good". IMO, this event can be interpreted either way and used to support either position. -

"Bushies" is not in itself a derogatory term, wing. The point is not to micro anaylize the press. My point is that the Bush Administration (better?) is falling back on old defenses and old cliches to support this War, defenses and cliches that have little, if any traction anymore. They are still acting like this is April 2003 and thats just pigheaded. -

Lets see... A major operation by Al Qaeda that would have had 400 men infiltrating the Iraqi police force and would have taken over the US and UK embassies in Baghdad (OUTSIDE the Sunni triangle, Joe) was thwarted. -or- Another school was opened in Mosul. Which story should be focused on? -

Ya know....I supported the war and the President. But this "blame the media" BS is really getting old. I mean, the place is a trainwreck, bombs are goin off every day, there are major terrorist operations to infiltrate the Iraqi government now (Embassy thingy), we cant catch/kill anyone above "private", its now coming out that the ENTIRE operation was a bungled mess from day one (Cobra book), the country is a "Franz Ferdinand" away from a full-out Civil War, but "hey....we got electricity back on another block in Mosul!!!!!"??? Doesnt cut it.....sorry. Tell ya what....the Bushies can whine that the media isnt reporting good news...WHEN THERE IS SOME ACTUAL GOOD NEWS. -
Critical Infrastructure Legislation
RkFast replied to Ghost of BiB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
U have a problem with China? Because they do more in a week to undermine US interests than the UAE would do in a lifetime. But hey, they arent Arabs, and make a killer Sweet and Sour Pork. -
Critical Infrastructure Legislation
RkFast replied to Ghost of BiB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So the scumbag who is sponsoring this bill is going to get it through, stand up before the Nation and claim that hes helping Homeland Security...while the Red Chinese, FIFTY times more UNfriendly to US interests than the UAE, continue to move boxes on and off ships in the background? Un!@#$ingbelievable. Whats worse, hes going to get away with it. -
Agreed. "You dont add depth to a team that sucks". Yikes. Im going back to work now.
-
Its not supposed to! Thats the point. Its YOU that wants the Civic to win the race. Its YOU that demands these moves be something they are not. Both cars are important, are needed, have different capabilities, and bring something to the table. How can you claim to understand football, but not even understand the basic team concept that everyone has different roles and responsibilities?
-
Heres the gaping hole in the above argument. NOBODY is saying that the smaller moves to add role players and depth are the be-all-end-all Big Splash moves that are going to be "The Answer" to all the teams problems. YOU label them as such. YOU look at them to be something they are not. Marv bought a Civic to carry groceries on Saturday and youre bitching that its not the Corvette to go racing with on Sunday. You want all the "answers" now, done now, without delay. And if they are not "big" enough for you, or to your liking, or even done in the order you like, they automatically "suck" and prove this team is going nowhere. And whats worse, you use the past to judge whats going on now and worse than that, before the current event in question concludes! Free agency isnt even over yet and its labeled by you as a failure? The team still (theoretically) "sucks", the "major" needs not addressed, so the addition of another reciever automatically becomes one that has no merit. Thats irrational.
-
All true. But NONE of the above weighs into the evaluation of whether or not the moves made so far in free agency are good or not. Think about it. The team has sucked for ten years...so that makes a couple of signings in 2006 to add depth "bad"?
-
This is so funny. The Bills pick up a few role players for the team and its totally blown out of proportion, people go nuts and it becomes an indictment on management's ineptitude. Funny sh--.
-
The Bills sign two role players and fans are up in arms. "Where are the studs??!!!??" The end of Day One of free agency, and fans demand to know why the team "hasnt done anything yet." As your own post above has stated, at the end of DAY ONE of free agency, the Bills 2006 plan is "a trainwreck." Yeah...the fans have wised up.
