Gov. Sonny Perdue compares Georgia's long-failed quest for a foreign car plant to the NFL's frustrated Buffalo Bills.
But unlike the Bills, who lost four world championships in a row, Georgia has finally won the economic development Super Bowl, a Kia Motors Corp. plant in Troup County.
In order for Georgia to be The Bills of the superbowl years, wouldn't they have to be the second best state in the country for several years? Don't kid yourself Sonny, you're more like the Cardinals after signing Edgerin.... Still crappy, but not as bad.

"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.
I agree that the same old cliches and catch phrases are growing old and the public has tuned it out. I think both sides of the aisle are falling into that trap. I would not want to see any administration blame the media directly. As someone outside the administration though, I think it is reasonable to question the objectivity of some of the nations largest media outlets. Even our crappy paper in Rochester leans heavily to the left. If you are Michael Savage or Stuart Smalley, your listeners know that they are not getting both sides of the issues. If you are pitching your product as a newspaper or news program, you should attempt to be as objective as possible.

I have the option to pay $2 per month above what I currently pay for dial up service for Road Runner Light. It is not the same as Road Runner. Has anyone used this service? Is it that much better than dial-up? This is being offered through AOL and Time Warner.

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?
There is no possible way to report both stories? Your logic has won me over....which way to the patchouli stinkin' protest bus. I have sipped from the kool aid and am now an anti-bushie! I just hope I can sit between the great intelectuals Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon!

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.
And who is giving you your information about the place being a "trainwreck"??? The media! I'll tell you what, when you show me the New York Times article about how happy the families of the fallen soldiers were to meet the President and how excited the autistic kid was to escort the President to his limo I'll stop blaming the media. Do you really believe there is no credibility issue with the national media when it comes to reporting on this administration? How many fake memos have to come out before you see the light? I guess I need to start writing good news on a protest placard and maybe they will cover me by mistake.
-
Also something the national news would ever report, he took the time to meet with 5-6 local families who lost someone in Iraq and Afgahn... for over an hour. One of the families had nothing but great things to say about the meeting when interviewed.
I guess it's not Cindy Sheeman worthy news though.
I'm not a Bush fan, but it takes guts to face the people who's kids were killed because of your decisions.
I heard the New York Times is reporting that President Bush punched an autistic kid and then taunted him. They are also reporting that it was President Bush who actually caused Jason to be born with Autism...Something to do with global warming I think.
Cindy Sheehan praised the President shortly after meeting with him the first time, so there is still the chance that a family member of a fallen soldier will change their mind and start protesting. The National media will start covering the story at that point. No point in reporting anything positive about this administration or the war.

Why would anyone doubt the airport sighting? It was pretty widely reported that Pickett was on his way to visit the Bills, Modrak is recognizable - at least to some fans, and I'm guessing that Pickett is pretty unmistakeble, no? I'm hoping for a signing announcement tonite - guess that means I have to turn on WGR. Damn!
WGR is planning on talking about Jeremy White's vacation all night and possibly the Sopranos. There will be no time for sports talk! They will also be drawing straws to see who gets to kneel in front of Darcy Regier the next time he's a guest on the show. I really miss having a decent sports station in town!
-
yeah that's exactly the same! Screw racial discrimination, we should all get together and protest the horrible treatment of Liberals in this country! So oppressed! Where is Cindy Sheehan when you need her. Yet another anti-conservative story the press can go to town with! I'm sure this woman was a great employee other than the sticker incident! By the way, I'm OK with banning Middle Easterners, the Politicians just need to be consistent and explain why profiling is OK with the port deal but not for anyone else.
-
I wonder if these Politicians would support an apartment complex who refuses to rent to Arabs due to security concerns or restaurants who won't serve Arabs because they tend to blow themselves up in the Middle East? I know it is stretching the point, but the concept is the same.

Only in America does sh#t like this happen, if true, very humorous. Clear Channel who Howard Stern can't stand, and considered a conservative 1000 poune gorrilla of radio stations, owns KLSD. This woman had a KLSD bumper sticker and supposedly was fired because of it.
P.S. Here is Advantage Sales and Marketings stated values on its website, interesting.
Any Air America stickers will be collectors items soon. The station can't even succeed with millionaire liberals footing the bills. Good riddance to Stuart Smalley and the rest of the Anti-American whiners on that Station! We get it, you hate Bush, find a new topic and maybe someone will listen.
I'm not agreeing that the woman should have been fired.

Here is a guy whose $100,000 investment in the Bills is now worth 400 million; whose franchise turns a profit each year, and who pays himself a million plus in salary each year; now whines that the players, who sacrifice their long term health, will receive 59.5% of revenue rather than 56%. Just how much money do you need to make Ralph? isn't 400 million enough?And for a guy who adamantly opposes guaranteed contract for players, he has no problem insisting on receiving guaranteed money from TV, season tickets, taxpayers of NY and now money from the "richer" franchises.
Please no more posts that this guy belongs in the HoF.
So because Ralph took a risk and made a lot of money he should not complain about a bunch of richer, less experienced owners and players screwing him? Guys like Ralph built this league into what it is today. You rip Ralph for wanting to make the most $ possible, but feel sorry for the players who make millions to play a game! These guys are free to find other work. Most of them would not have a college education if not for football and most of them still do not graduate. Have you listened to some of them speak! They would be lucky to land a $20,000 a year job. Lots of people potentialy sacrifice their future health to make a living, like miners, construction workers, policemen, firemen, etc. If you don't agree with his opinion on the deal that is fine, but don't hold Ralphs hard work and fortune against him, there were no guarantees when he bought this franchise and brought it to Buffalo. He took a big risk and we all enjoy Sundays a lot more because of it!
-
He was not at all happy about being released and will probably have a lot to prove this year. Sounds like a great fit right now, especially since he would get to prove the Jets wrong twice a year! If he was nasty before he should be a monster after being tossed aside by a team that he was very loyal to.

And "one of" the meanings of "bear arms" is to have the visible characteristic of having limbs on the upper torso.
It doesn't matter what "one of" the meanings is, it matters what THE MEANING is. The British Army was not a militia. And the Second Amendment does not guarantee the population's right of rebellion against the military.
I apologize you are right(or should I say extreme left). Hey, the constituion probably meant that we have the right to bear(big fuzzy animal) arms. Why would a group of people that just had to overthrow the ruling government be concerned about preserving the right to revolt against the government! It doesn't get much clearer than "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".

I heard the Dolphins were picking up every available free agent. They have recieved an exemption from the league to carry a roster of 268 players this year. Seriuosly, is there anyone the Dolphins aren't "reportedly interested in"?

The British Army was not a militia in the Revolutionary War.
Plus, by your argument, if the 2nd refers specifically to the military, it therefore is against private gun ownership.
When you start arguing over the proper interpretation of commas, you're probably at the point where it's time to step back and reconsider the direction your argument is going in.
I'll dumb this down a little more for you. Because our country needs an army, the people need to be able to protect themselves from the improper use of the army. An example of this would be a government that grew too oppressive. The 2nd amendment speaks about the "Militia" and the "People" as two seperate groups. The proper use of commas or any punctuation can change the meaning of a sentence substantially. The only reason we were able to defeat Britian in the revolutionary war was the people's guns. By the way, one of the meanings of militia is "armed force". last time I checked the British Army was an armed force.
-
Sorry, is it optional? I still want to check that, thought it was made mandatory...because of all the looney's making threats against all of them.
Second Amendment
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The "well reglulated" part allowing for the government intrusion.
The "well regulated militia" is reffering to the military. We have the military because it is "necessary to the security of a free state" . When the Constitution was written the country had just fought off another militia (Britian) who was trying to disarm the citizens to prevent revolt. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed in case we ever need to rebel against an unjust government's militia even if it is our own. The founders knew that there was always the possibility for Government to become too powerfull. If you pay attention to the commas you can see that the well regulated "militia" part is seperate from the "people" part.

Symptoms include:
Sounds like hyperactivity to me. Sounds like I have it, too. Oh, and symptoms can be exacerbated by:
Imagine that. Stimulants can make you hyper. What a !@#$ing surprise. I sense a Nobel Prize for Medicine in someone's future.
I also like where I just read: "calcium-channel blockers (used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions)".
If you choose to quit your blood-pressure meds because you feel like you have to move your legs, you deserve to stroke out. My Grandmother had this condition brought on by very low sodium levels. It was very painfull and kept her awake most of the night. This was an extreme case, but it was a medical condition, not something she concocted in her head. If you have ever had to watch a loved one deal with something like this while confined to a hospital bed you might not be making fun of it. I suppose you would also consider early parkinsons disease hyperactivity because it just causes you to move around and twitch a lot!

Actually what I said was that it is extremely hypocritical for an anti-gun advocate to accept armed protection at all times. It would be the similiar to a conservative pro lifer getting an abortion after proposing legislation to outlaw it. There is also a difference between "not being strong advocates of gun ownership rights" and being the face of the anti-gun lobby.

This post was not about gun ownership, but rrather that these two protesters were arrested for protesting Clinton. My point, which you guys all missed, is if it was Bush it would have been front page news that their right to freedom of speech was taken away. but since it was Clinton it's okay.
Sorry, I got way off your point. I do agree with you though.

Hall of Stupidity, and I support ownership of guns!
Don't like the NRA political teeth knashing on the subject, and under the Consitution states have the right to regulate ownership, heck they and the feds already do, it is a crime for felons to own guns.
But people should still be able to own guns and follow the rules. This poster takes it to another level., Where is Crap Throwing Monkey with an appropriate response when you need one.
P.S. Former President's under the law are required to have a secret servies security detachment, get over it.
Unless this guy is a convicted felon and should be investigated by big government.
Former presidents are not required by law to have secret service protection. Nixon declined it after he left office due to the incredible cost to the taxpayers. But don't let facts get in the way of your point! Before calling someone stupid you may want to check your facts. Please point out the part of the constitution that gives the States the right to regulate gun ownership. I'm not debating if felons should own guns, obviously they should not and there are necesary regulations. We don't enforce the ones we have.
-
Shucks, that makes sense. Clearly you have more to fear safety-wise than a former President and current Senator what with nutcases shooting at Presidents being such an unheard of event. I guess that if one favors any type of gun regulation, that means you should do the "right thing" and disarm the police, the FBI, the ATF and all branches of the military because otherwise you are a hypocrite.
There are good reasons to view gun regulations with a very critical eye and certainly many reasons to have a dim view of the Clintons but this isn't one of them.
Exactly how many ex-presidents have been shot? I really don't remember any stories on that. Where in my post do I say anything about disarming the police? If the government can provide me with my own personal police force at all times than I will glady concede that I do not need to be able to protect myself. Typical liberal response! Last time I checked the fromer president was a citizen just like you and me. The constitutional right to bear arms (or have somebody braver than you do it for you) applies to all of us, not just those who feel they may be more important than the rest of us slobs. By the way, it's not "gun regulation" when you support banning handgun ownership. We have plenty of "gun regulation" in NY already. The people who commit crimes do not care if they are using an illegal gun. By your logic, if we make more lengthy and confusing regulations banning murder we could cut down on the murder rate in the U.S. Cities with very strict gun restrictions consistantly have higher crime rates than cities without overbearing gun restrictions. Criminals flock to place where good people can't fight back.

Thanks for the info. I believe the service that I am being offerred is not nearly as fast as normal RR. This is why I am a little confused. The Time Warner rep told me that the RR lite is only about 17 times faster than dial up instead of 700 times faster???(they may have meant 17% and 700%) Maybe this is a new option since I have not been able to find anyone who is using it.
