Howard should be the replacement on American Idol when Simon leaves. He would give the singers (and Ellen) a dose of reality.

Obama said, "With all due deference to the separation of powers, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections." That was a statement of fact of the consequences of the decision. If Roberts took it as criticism, then maybe his conscience over screwing up the Presidential oath was bothering him. And 4 of his fellow justices agreed with Obama when they dissented from the conservatives on the court. If he's that thin skinned, then he should pull a Palin and quit.

Mickey Rourke is the main villain, Whiplash, in the upcoming Iron Man II. Oprah likes her because when they're together she makes Oprah look skinny.

The giant mechanical tripods that the Martians planted deep in the Earth are starting to activate.

It's the usual story with Darcy. While teams the Sabres will need to contend with in the playoffs, like New Jersey, Pittsburgh, and Ottawa, make moves for the playoff run, Darcy says he doesn't want to sacrifice the future for the present. WTF? Miller is in his prime, now is the time to be bold and make moves to contend in the playoffs. The Sabres aren't serious about trying to win the Cup, they would rather have a team that is good enough to generate enough interest to sell regular season tickets from year to year. So we end up with a perpetual pretender and not a legitimate contender. That's why Hasek got frustrated and left. Imagine if we still had Drury, Briere, and Campbell on the roster in place of Kennedy, MacArthur, and Lydman.

Bunning voted for the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy without demanding offsetting budget cuts, and voted for funding the Iraq occupation without asking how it's going to be paid for. But now he sticks it to the unemployed and the furloughed constructions workers to score political points with conservatives. Hipocrisy. I wonder how the Senate pension he's going to collect is being paid for.

Hannah Storm was on The Sports Reporters last Sunday. She was showing plenty of leg and flirting with the guys with a little touch of the hand on them or the way she was laughing at their comments, it was so obvious. And she looks like she had some work done around her eyes. So I guess it's OK to flaunt it but not to comment on it. And every week near the end of The Sports Reporters, ESPN has one of their woman hosts do a standup saying what's coming up after the show, and they're always are wearing tight outfits with skirts or dresses above the knee. Hypocrisy.

If it's a private matter, then he should keep it that way and not use the media to publicly air his statements. Go apologize to your family and employers in private. He wants the best of both worlds. I guess he didn't take Brit Hume's advice and convert to Christianity to solve his problems.

All the crazy talk from the radical right was bound to influence someone on the edge. No surprise that he's in a state who's governor has talked about secession. Birthers, teabaggers, and the rest of the loons who think the gov't is taking away their freedom. If this domestic terrorist was a Muslim, they would be screaming about how weak Obama is on terrorism, but since he's a "normal" guy angry at the gov't and IRS, he'll be held up as an example of how the gov't can push people over the edge with its socialist agenda.

The Beatles would probably be one choice, but a couple other possibilities are... The Doors - The Doors (would come in handy when I start hallucinating) Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (it would be good to hear women's voices)

I liked it, and it's worth seeing, but it won't leave you thinking "Holy Sh%*" like when I first saw Alien. Part of that is because we are already familiar with the general storyline. I liked the makeup similarity to the Lon Cheney Jr. Wolfman. But I did guess the surprise twist fairly early on. And it did leave open the possibility of a sequel. I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars.

“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others,” Drew says. “That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people." That's just a fact. You would rather he was playing Frat Boy then debating economics in college?

Given that Bill Clinton was the best president we've had in almost a half century, I'm sure alot of people wish he could still be president. But to use a football analogy, if you can't have Joe Montana, it's good to have Steve Young in his place.

1. Rudi Giuliani 2. NYC Mayor Bloomberg Hypocrisy (my bad for not using spellcheck). It wouldn't surprise me if many of the public who are complaining about the need to use military tribunals think that all the terrorists were tried in that forum and not in civilian courts, and that there are no terrorists held in our prisons. But why find out the facts when they can repeat the conservative talking points.

Quiz: 1. Who said, after the Zacarias Moussaoui civilian trial and conviction, “I was in awe of our system. It does demonstrate that we can give people a fair trial.” ? 2. Who said, just 3 months ago, “It is fitting that 9/11 suspects face justice near the World Trade Center site, where so many New Yorkers were murdered.”? Under the Bush administration, almost 200 terrorists were convicted by the criminal justice system, and now reside in American prisons. Only three defendants were tried by military commission, and only one is still in custody, Ali al-Bahlul. The other two are free, having received five- and nine-month sentences, respectively. Where was the outrage from the right when this was happening? Hypocrisy (my bad for not using spellcheck).

A timely article about Palin, her relationship with the MSM, how popular she really is, and comparing her to Reagan. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0210/32885.html

As they said in Animal House, "Forget it, he's rolling". I find this History of the World Part I entertaining.

Not bad, considering that on 1/20/2009 it was at 7949.

Why do some countries drive forward on the right side of the road, and others drive forward on the left?

I live a few miles from them. I feel bad for the workers who are out of a job on short notice. But in the last couple of years, we could tell that the quality of the food had gone down, and stopped going there last year.

Since I had to read it in high school, I may have taken it too literal, but I didn't like reading about a privileged kid who didn't appreciate the opportunity he was given. I also had to read what became my favorite book, "The Grapes of Wraith", which was just the opposite; people who had little but made the most out of what they had.

You would think Edwards would have taken a lesson from Sen. David Vitter. The guy hired a prostitute (who usually require a man to wear protection so they don't get pregnant or diseases), he gets caught, gets his wife to stand with him when he publicly apologizes for being caught, and then still gets to stay a senator, and he's even running for reelection this year. And here I thought prostitution was illegal.

Get's kicked out of prep school because he doesn't do the work to get decent grades. Doesn't make the most of his opportunity that many other kids would never get. That's a punk in my book.

You don't think integrating black and white units helped changed the minds of some whites in the military who otherwise may never have interacted closely with blacks, and then taken their new perspective back home with them? In this case, the military is behind the general public, and would not be driving reform, but catching up to the general public.
