Steely Dan

She's too beautiful for porn. She should only be employed as a mannequin model.

Jessica Biel says she's too pretty for Hollywood. She continues, "I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, don't hire me! But if you don't want to even see me -- that's hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!" So are her good looks hurting? "It really is a problem," she says. "I have to be blunt." Let's see, I guess there isn't anything called makeup in Hollywood. Man Charlize Theron is just sooooo hot in "Monster". I wonder how they make hot women less hot in movies?

Stuff from the Carol Burnett Show; Looking back on the Harvey/Tim laughs. The dentist sketch No Frills Airline . *****BAD WORD*** of Mr. Tudball needs a secretary. ****WARNING*** FOUL LANGUAGE

Look, Tim could cover the Hamdan issue everyday all day and we would all still be hanging on with baited breath for the next article to keep the Hamdan junkies happy. It just isn't feasible for the poor guy to even try.

Poor Tim, stuck in a bored (spelling intentional) room all week. Pfft, Cambodian?!

PUNCH!! After one, injured, year you're getting on the guy?! It seems to me that larger receivers take longer to accommodate themselves to the NFL style of play. PUNCH!! Yeah, all players in the draft should be like Royal. Great point about Edwards. As I mentioned above it seems like taller receivers take longer to catch on: Braylon Edwards; 2005 - 32 - 512 - 3 2006 - 61 - 884 - 6 2007 - 80 - 1,289 - 16 2008 - 55 - 873 - 3 T.O. 1996 - 35 - 520 - 4 1997 - 60 - 936 - 1998 - 67 - 1,097 - 14 Andre Reed 1985 - 48 - 637 - 4 1986 - 53 - 739 - 7 1987 - 57 - 752 - 5 Anyone willing to write him off already is jumping the gun big time.

If he doesn't come to Buffalo then he's as Pisa $#!++

One more thing to do as well is to write in the memo line "pending registration"

If it says lien on the title it doesn't necessarily mean there is a lien on it still. I believe he'll get a new title when the lien is removed but not always. He should have a letter from the bank that the lien has been released. If you don't find any of that then write him a check and immediately go to get it registered. If you can't then issue a stop payment on the check.

I'm not sure they had 11 guys on the field. Maybe it was a mistake and Dockery wasn't even on the field.

Unfortunately, it appears dat aint true. These stupid jokes are drivin me nuts!!

I think that living in the shadow of McCartney and Lennon made Harrison under rated. He was one of the best guitar players ever. Linkage; Harrison developed his style and technique slowly and painstakingly over the several years, learning everything he could from the records of Carl Perkins, Duane Eddy, Chet Atkins, Buddy Holly, and Eddie Cochran. By age 15, he was allowed to sit in with the Quarry Men, the Liverpool group founded by John Lennon, of which McCartney was a member; by 16, he was a full-fledged member of the group. Some trivia; Eric Clapton plays guitar on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Another piece of Beatles trivia is that Paul McCartney plays drums on "The Ballad of John and Yoko."

I agree but some people see Nic Harris as a S and not a LB. Florence was very good in SD and crashed in Jerksonville. Off course Greggo was his coach. I wouldn't be surprised to see him excel in the nickel role. JMO

What he said. Moving Walker to LT makes a lot more sense than moving a second year guy who has very experience on the OL. I had that job once. I quit though, my boss pissed me off. By the time TC starts it will have been one year. In Bell's case I'm guessing his lack of strength and inexperience were the reason he was a 7th rounder. Some guys can step up and surprise like Marques Colston. (no I'm not comparing Bell to Colston. I'm pointing out it's not impossible) Bottom line is that unless Bell blows Walker out of the water with his play, LW will be the starting LT this year. I don't think the Bills want two rookies on the left side. They have vets at RT, C and LT that keeps the rookies surrounded by experience and that's what they need. Next year might be Bells year if he continues to work as hard as we've heard. Anyhoo, when the Bills make the SB within the next few years there is going to be a media frenzy around this guy. The newshounds are going to be all over the Malone story and man'o man Karl is going to get it up the doink.

Greed is only one quarter of Levi's problem. Delusionality (if there is such a word) is a bigger part of the problem. While it appears that he has a leg to stand on now, no pun intended. There would've been many more teams inquiring about him. If he was all that then the Bungles could have gotten at least a seventh rounder for him. Philly was willing to give up a lot more for Peters and pay him what he wanted. Levi's been lickin Dev's frog if he thinks he's in Peter's area code. I think reality will slap him the face big time when he finally learns that there are only a handful of teams interested in him, and all of those teams aren't going to give him close to that amount of moulah. He'll probably have to come back to some team with his tail between his legs begging.

It's definitely not a bad observation but it's a dickful thing to say. Keep those opinions to yourself or at least make them more tactfully. The unforgivable crime is mentioning Belichicken. Eric Moulds was a fantastic receiver who got stuck playing for some really bad Bills teams. The final straw for him was when they drafted JP Losman and wanted to start him. I forget where I heard this but he made somebodies list of the best players to never win a playoff game. Where did you hear that? I can't believe they wouldn't do that for him.

Yeah, every time I tell someone I'm going to kill them I mean it literally too. If I found out they had actually done that, I'd be against it.

PUNCH!! You can't tell the difference between exaggerated anger and real anger. Priceless. PUNCH!! Wow what an insightful post. One person being water boarded is too many. Tell me how we can tell people of the world that we aspire to a higher moral standing without them doing a spit take at us? Yes, if Obama has others water boarded I'll be pissed at him. My morals don't waver with who's in office. The gun control issue should be in the gun control thread? Are you scared about talking discussing it with others. Since stupid comments are the peak of your cognitive abilities? Also, nice shot about nothing that has anything to do with this discussion. BTW, If you want to exchange shots then why don't you learn how to use the board correctly?

BTW, I've gained my "expertise" in morality by reading the dictionary; Main Entry: 1mor·al Listen to the pronunciation of 1moral Pronunciation: \ˈmȯr-əl, ˈmär-\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin moralis, from mor-, mos custom Date: 14th century 1 a: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ethical <moral judgments> b: expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior <a moral poem> c: conforming to a standard of right behavior d: sanctioned by or operative on one's conscience or ethical judgment <a moral obligation> e: capable of right and wrong action <a moral agent>

I wonder how soon you'd STFU if our soldiers were water boarded. We need to have the moral leadership in the world to maintain our reputation as moral leaders. JMO It seems that, some, people like you want to proclaim America as the bastion of morality in the world and then think doing things extremely immoral is perfectly fine. I said that we need to maintain moral leadership in the world if we want to claim that title without regard to how our soldiers are treated. My point is that it seems, to some, that immoral acts against them are justified by immoral acts against us. In fact you're proving my point. You seem to think that an eye for an eye foreign policy shows us to be moral leaders. Trust me, it doesn't. Moral leadership is not stooping to the level of savages it's upholding human rights and the laws that regulate war. If you read my links above you'd see that before 43 got into office water boarding was an offense that LE has been jailed for and would cause courtmartialing in the army. You also would have noticed that after WWII when the Japanese were being tried for war crimes water boarding was one of the crimes they were convicted of. You also would have seen an article by a former interrogation officer who got more out of a prisoner of war through kindness than torture.

Part one Part two

I agree that it was a mismatch. The MSNBC interviewer smashed Liz into the turf. Supposedly, that's what the people involved are saying but a lot of what they've said has been proven to be BS. One guy was water boarded 183 times. Fox News Article Despite Reports, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Was Not Waterboarded 183 Times The number of times Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded was the focus of major media attention -- and highly misleading. By Joseph Abrams FOXNews.com Tuesday, April 28, 2009 A snippet; A U.S. official with knowledge of the interrogation program told FOX News that the much-cited figure represents the number of times water was poured onto Mohammed's face -- not the number of times the CIA applied the simulated-drowning technique on the terror suspect. According to a 2007 Red Cross report, he was subjected a total of "five sessions of ill-treatment." "The water was poured 183 times -- there were 183 pours," the official explained, adding that "each pour was a matter of seconds." __________________________________________________ So, supposedly, the truth is he was "poured" 183 times during five sessions. I don't understand how that doesn't add up to 183 times of water boarding. Each pour simulates the sense of drowning. Somehow the CIA sees that number as not being accurate because the 183 "pours" were done over five sessions. Figures don't lie but liars can figure. - Mark Twain Nice way to exaggerate a point. So because somebody is against torture they must be for giving them extra special living conditions. Your little diatribe about MSNBC is another way to evade the issue. How about sticking to the facts or don't you understand them enough? Washington Post Article; Some snippets; After World War II, we convicted several Japanese soldiers for waterboarding American and Allied prisoners of war. At the trial of his captors, then-Lt. Chase J. Nielsen, one of the 1942 Army Air Forces officers who flew in the Doolittle Raid and was captured by the Japanese, testified: "I was given several types of torture. . . . I was given what they call the water cure." He was asked what he felt when the Japanese soldiers poured the water. "Well, I felt more or less like I was drowning," he replied, "just gasping between life and death." _________________________________________________ Tribunal for the Far East, generally called the Tokyo War Crimes Trials. Leading members of Japan's military and government elite were charged, among their many other crimes, with torturing Allied military personnel and civilians. The principal proof upon which their torture convictions were based was conduct that we would now call waterboarding _________________________________________________ As far back as the U.S. occupation of the Philippines after the 1898 Spanish-American War, U.S. soldiers were court-martialed for using the "water cure" to question Filipino guerrillas. _________________________________________________ In 1983, federal prosecutors charged a Texas sheriff and three of his deputies with violating prisoners' civil rights by forcing confessions. The complaint alleged that the officers conspired to "subject prisoners to a suffocating water torture ordeal in order to coerce confessions. This generally included the placement of a towel over the nose and mouth of the prisoner and the pouring of water in the towel until the prisoner began to move, jerk, or otherwise indicate that he was suffocating and/or drowning." ad_icon The four defendants were convicted, and the sheriff was sentenced to 10 years in prison. I wonder how soon you'd STFU if our soldiers were water boarded. We need to have the moral leadership in the world to maintain our reputation as moral leaders. JMO It seems that, some, people like you want to proclaim America as the bastion of morality in the world and then think doing things extremely immoral is perfectly fine. I don't know, I've got friends who went to Catholic Schools and Newsweek Some snippets from this four page artilce; ‘We Could Have Done This the Right Way’ How Ali Soufan, an FBI agent, got Abu Zubaydah to talk without torture. 'I've Kept My Mouth Shut': Soufan, last week in Central Park By Michael Isikoff | NEWSWEEK Published Apr 25, 2009 From the magazine issue dated May 4, 2009 Last week Soufan, 37, now a security consultant who spends most of his time in the Middle East, decided to tell the story of his involvement in the Abu Zubaydah interrogations publicly for the first time. In an op-ed in The New York Times and in a series of exclusive interviews with NEWSWEEK, Soufan described how he, together with FBI colleague Steve Gaudin, began the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah. They nursed his wounds, gained his confidence and got the terror suspect talking. They extracted crucial intelligence—including the identity of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the architect of 9/11 and the dirty-bomb plot of Jose Padilla—before CIA contractors even began their aggressive tactics. ______________________________________________ Soufan's assertion was buttressed by Philip Zelikow, the former executive director of the 9/11 Commission, who last week called Soufan "one of the most impressive intelligence agents—from any agency" that the panel encountered. ______________________________________________ Soufan became a teacher for other interrogators. McFadden says that in early 2002, Soufan flew to Guantánamo to conduct a training course. He gave a powerful talk, preaching the virtues of the FBI's traditional rapport-building techniques. Not only were such methods the most effective, Soufan explained that day, they were critical to maintaining America's image in the Middle East. "The whole world is watching what we do here," Soufan said. "We're going to win or lose this war depending on how we do this." As he made these comments, about half the interrogators in the room—those from the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies—were "nodding their heads" in agreement, recalls McFadden. But the other half— military intelligence officers—sat there "with blank stares. It's like they were thinking, This is bullcrap. Their attitude was, 'You guys are cops; we don't have time for this'." ______________________________________________ But Soufan had poured through the bureau's intelligence files and stunned Abu Zubaydah when he called him "Hani"—the nickname that his mother used for him. Soufan also showed him photos of a number of terror suspects who were high on the bureau's priority list. Abu Zubaydah looked at one of them and said, "That's Mukhtar." _______________________________________________ Now it was Soufan who was stunned. The FBI had been trying to determine the identity of a mysterious "Mukhtar," whom bin Laden kept referring to on a tape he made after 9/11. Now Soufan knew: Mukhtar was the man in the photo, terror fugitive Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and, as Abu Zubaydah blurted out, " the one behind 9/11." _______________________________________________ Soon enough, Abu Zubaydah offered up more information—about the bizarre plans of a jihadist from Puerto Rico to set off a "dirty bomb" inside the country. This information led to Padilla's arrest in Chicago by the FBI in early May. _______________________________________________

Fascinating Captain. I believe that back in the 21st century they were called nerds.

If I win the lottery I'll be set for life.
