Discard the fact that George Will wrote the column. Let's distill the pertinent idea that he touches on and use this idea to bring the conversation above the partisan bickering level that it is so easy to get bogged down in. The idea that anger from the "very real psyche of the people" should be channeled in the most appropriate way to achieve mutually beneficial results not only for our nation but for our two-party political process in general is an idea than any sane, rational, and not completely biased partisan should and must get behind if you truly have best interests at heart. Be you democrat, republican, liberal, or conservative, you have an extremely vested interest in engaging each other in the right kind of dialogue and debate so that the best ideas and policies can emerge from a more efficient and productive process. So when you think to castigate Will for this article based upon his conservative predilections, think for a moment about the possibility that inside this column might be a kernel of a good idea ready to emerge if partisans on both sides of the aisle would only temper their obscene rhetoric and channel their anger and passion into something other than blowing up their already grotesque, childish, and amazingly short-sighted egos.

lol

You completely miss the point. But that is your prerogative.

Slick Willy! How's it hangin?

Natalie Imbruglia is smoking hot. I will also defend Norah Jones. Bam.

I didn't watch that.

Who's the real Slick Willy, eh?

If you look at the "hard numbers", you will realize that Lee Evans isn't really that good.

We are hung up on it because that's how you play the Cover-2 Defense. So says every cover-2 defense in the NFL. McCargo is going to play 1-tech with Williams. That has to be the plan.

:D Quality post

!@#$in A'

Being President of the Dakota Fanning Fan Club is more or a rigorous challenge than one might think, Beerball.

yah, ol shiitbrick Smith isn't going to give up Turner for less than he thinks he is worth. i very much doubt that we have the same idea of what he is worth.

Look what you're doing. You're taking a comment made by Peerless Price literally.

yes, that gives me pause as well. But if Marv and co. really think he is the shiit and are willing to trade picks for him, then you gotta go for broke and pay the man. But I very much doubt we will go this route. A draft pick for a modest price as you say seems to make more sense at this point.

just more speculation but who knows..... there is no way we give up a 1st for turner... and besides, anyone could have put those three teams together as the ones interested in Turner....

Oh you wacky PPP posters!

Thanks for posting. It's nice to hear him be honest and professional. The fact that he speaks so highly about Marv shows where he's at, imo.

I've never been a George Will fan but he makes a great point in this article. People on every side of the political spectrum these days (especially the most extreme sides but not limited to them) substitute righteous or self-righteous anger in favor of rationale discourse and open-minded inclusion of the whole context of a situation. This is to appeal to their base constituency, zealot partisans in general that are noted for their emotional responses to issues rather than their intellectual weighing of the pertinent details. There is certainly a place for passion and anger in political life as a catalyst for change and invigoration of public life, but it does need to be firmly controlled and channeled through a rational vetting process that can make the most effective use of the emotion without sacrificing the level head that is needed to operate in our diverse political climate.

Who would have thought Eddie Griffin was a reckless moron?

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM LOL

Brilliance! Do it!

Ok. Just wanted to be sure.
