There is still a bit left in the gray as to what actually precipitated the confrontation and how it actually went down. It's good to know that it would take you '3 seconds to indict him;' are you counting those 3 seconds from when he'd walk in the courtroom or from when Al Sharpton gave his 1st speech regarding the incident? You sure as **** have not given an impression that you'd wait to hear evidence from both sides to reach that decision. Hopefully you would wait at least another 2 seconds to convict him, but that might be asking a bit much.

What happened to dayman's entertaining response to DCTom's post?

Which part of '(d)idn't say that it would have made national news' was the part that implied it would have been national news? My comment was directly related to the quality of reporting in general. Thus, the comment 'but see no reason to think that any reporting this story got wouldn't have been derelict even without the racial tones' in my prior post which Rob was referring to. I'm not certain what portion of that statement implies that the story would have been national either. Unless somehow a reference to a paper such as the 'Sanford Bee' rather than such minor operations like the Orlando Sentinel or USA Today would connote a national presence.

Didn't say that it would have made national news. But do you have any reason to believe that even if this only ended up in the Sanford Bee Police Blotter the reporting wouldn't have been derelict?

I'll grant you the 1st 2, but see no reason to think that any reporting this story got wouldn't have been derelict even without the racial tones.

Disregarding the question of how Sontomayer and Kagan rewrite the law to salvage parts of it; how exactly do they end up salvaging part of a law that doesn't have a severability clause?

Is that like the Frank Gorshin character from Star Trek?

You were close.

Well, with them going back to a 4-3, having to cut some guys at the D-line that they really don't want to part with is a great thing. Them trying to force DE's into OLB slots the past 2 years, not so much.

You have seen Nancy Pelosi, right?

Even when ground up and in the freezer?

Not sure how he converts an independent run at the WH into a cabinet post. There are too many young up & comers in the GOP to believe that Roemer will ever make a strong run. And even if he switches back to having a 'D' before his name, I don't see him gaining much traction from that side of the aisle. He ticked off too many power brokers back in Red Stick to believe he could ever get elected back to statewide office much less national office. Throw in his lack of name recognition outside of the Pelican State and I just don't see him as a major player even 8 years from now.

Roemer has been off the stage for close to 20 years. He ran an awful campaign in '91 and his complete lack of traction indicate that he hasn't improved much (if at all) in the intervening years. Roemer is a good man and has (or at least had) good ideas, but there is no way he ever comes close to sniffing the White House.

You dislike Romney who 'lost those southern states because he can't close the deal' but like Buddy 'I finished 3rd behind a crook and a racist' Roemer? After Buddy was caught reading a book at a football game his political career was toast.

Romney hasn't campaigned against the President yet. Once he has the nomination sown up, it'll be interesting to see how things change. Right now, I expect the race to be close until the last week or 2 and then 1 of them will pull away. Unless the President can change the answer to the question Reagan asked the American people: 'are you better off today than you were 4 years ago,' then he'll be a 1 and done. If the economy is coming around or if something major breaks his way, then he might be able to have that question break his way; right now, it's not there.

She'd have to have a convincing narrative as to why she switched teams, but she wouldn't be the 1st Republican to have switched and be successful on the national stage. Ronnie being the most obvious example of a Democrat that believed the party left him behind and ended up a staunch Republican.

Yeah, but will the fancy little brother site be able to withstand the traffic when the Rick Nash led Sabres win the Stanley Cup in '13? THAT'S the important test. And hopefully it will be a precursor to the '14 Superbowl serious stress test.

Not saying it won't happen, but was ESPN making the same claims that NFLN were making that Williams had left Buffalo Tuesday night? If so, their credibility might not be what it once was.

NFL Network now saying 6 yrs $96MM.

Can't tell him how much they spent; he'll have a heart attack!

Must have a high motor.

GR just said the press conference will start at 1:45PM. EDIT: Eh, nevermind.

Bad news. LaCanfora is reporting that Mario has signed with the Bills. He hasn't been right yet, so does this mean he ripped up the contract?

I can't believe how much they overpaid for the guy. Sheesh, typical Ralph, throwing his money around.
