  2. Unfortunately, they also resigned Lalime as backup goalie, so automatically pencil in 8-10 games in the loss column.
  3. Neither, take whichever of these RBs is left: 1 Chris Johnson RB, TEN 2 Adrian Peterson RB, MIN 3 Maurice Jones-Drew RB, JAC 4 Michael Turner RB, ATL 5 Ray Rice RB, BAL 6 Frank Gore RB, SF
  4. I rolled the eyes because the anti-Obama crowd will call for McChrystal to run just because he's spoken out about Obama, even though they know nothing about his views on most issues. "McChrystal's team disapproves of the Obama administration, with the exception of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who backed McChrystal's request for additional troops in Afghanistan." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37839756/ns/us_news-military/ I still think Hillary could end up as president in the future if she chooses to run.
  5. Lincoln, FDR, and Truman all had issues with generals, and they were right in the end. If McCrystal really feels that way about the administration, then the honorable thing for him to do would be to resign and not wait to be asked to resign by Obama. If he does, I expect to hear calls for a Palin / McCrystal ticket by the end of the week.
  6. Another BP apologist. And if there was another oil leak from another rig, you'd be one of the first blaming the gov't for allowing them to continue without a review of procedures.
  7. BP has also voluntarily agreed to create a $100 million fund for the purpose of compensating oil rig workers now unemployed as a result of closure of other deepwater rigs after the April 20 Deepwater Horizon explosion. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/06/16/obama.bp....?iref=allsearch
  8. Well, we were told that the war would pay for itself. Oh wait, wrong war. Nevermind.
  9. Why don't they just stop the clock when there's a stoppage like for injury? Is there any other timed sport where the actual time left isn't reflected on the clock? If I was a player, I'd want to know how much time I had left to score or defend, which could determine the type of play you make.
  10. “Sailing and life in general is dangerous. Teenagers drive cars. Does that mean teenagers shouldn’t drive a car?” Laurence Sunderland told the AP. “I think people who hold that opinion have lost their zeal for life. They’re living in a cotton-wool tunnel to make everything safe.” Stupid argument. What teen driver has to wait a couple of days for someone to rescue them. And a good driver is unlikely to get in a crash, while a good sailor is still at the mercy of the ocean and storms that can capsize and sink their boat. She's been on the ocean since January. What happened to going to school?
  11. It's about time Pasta got some respect. They must have some McGruber in Gaza if they can make weapons out of potato chips, margarine, fishing rods, and goats.
  12. In his radio show, "The Glenn Program" on Premiere Radio Networks, Beck mocked Malia Obama for asking her father if he'd managed to stop oil from continuing to spill out into the Gulf of Mexico. At a news conference Thursday, the president recounted how his daughter had asked him, "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?" -- in an effort to illustrate how all Americans are anxious about the BP oil rig that's now become America's worst oil spill in history. Afterward Beck made fun of the anecdote, imitating Malia in a squeaky voice. "Daddy? Daddy? Daddy, did you plug the hole yet? Daddy?" he said. Then Beck's co-host Pat Gray responded as if he were the president. "Honey, not yet... Not time yet, honey. Hasn't done enough damage," Gray said. Then Beck took his argument a step further, saying the exchange reveals something about Malia's education. The 11-year-old and her 9-year-old sister Sasha go to Sidwell Friends, and exclusive and high-performing academy that's sometimes called "the Harvard of Washington's private schools." "'Did you plug the hole yet, daddy?' Is that's their -- that's the level of their education, that they're coming to -- they're coming to daddy and saying 'Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?'" Plug the hole!" Beck said on his Friday morning radio show. Later in the 4-minute segment, Beck turned the routine toward Obama's race. "Why do you hate black people so much?" he said, still imitating Malia in a baby voice. "I'm part white, honey," Gray responded in the voice of the president. Friday's segment ran just two days after another piece on Beck's radio program in which he decried critics of Sarah Palin's family. Speaking with Palin, Beck decried the tactic: "Leave my family, leave people's families alone...When it was Bill Clinton, you don't go after Chelsea Clinton. You don't talk about the Bush kids. Now, the minute they get into politics, that's a different story. You leave the families alone." http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/glen...-malia/19496426 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/28/g...d_n_593587.html Beck has since offered the obligatory CYA apology.
  13. Oooh, quick comeback! Not intelligent, but quick!
  14. They should ask the workers at Arizona's electric and water utilities if they're willing to lose their jobs because of the loss of a big customer just so they can have a symbolic F-U.
  15. That's a really moronic response. You don't think they sell things in Socialist countries? The difference is that if the profit is going to the public good by paying down the debt, then it's a Socialist program i.e. being used for the benefit of society, as opposed to the Capitalist program i.e. an individual keeping all the profits for themself. So in the end your family is laughing at you.
  16. Well numb-nuts, please list the specific things that Sestak has done that qualifies him to be labeled a 'rat-bastard'. Not just a politician you disagree with, but a 'rat-bastard'.
  17. Sestak served 31 years in the Navy, and he's a 'rat-bastard'? Really? I'm glad he won, better to have a true Democrat than someone who switched parties just to keep his job. The Democrat base will be more likely to come out and support him than they would have Spector. And so much for the conservative tsunami with Democrat Mark Critz winning John Murtha's seat. And it's going to be fun watching Rand Paul make the Republicans nervous when he goes off their script.
  18. You're still buying that BS Swift Boat smear campaign on Kerry, unbelievable. Yeah, he didn't respond forcefully enough to the liars and let them form the narrative, but in the end it was a sad chapter in dirty politics where the liars profited from their lies.
  19. In addition to her competency, even though her views on all issues aren't known, the left won't throw her overboard and reject her nomination like the right did with Myers because she wasn't considered conservative enough for them.
  20. Spending more in the short term is the only way out of a recession, and prevented a depression. That's how it's been done historically. Once the economy recovers, spending on social support programs decrease because more people are employed and don't need the gov't assistance, and tax revenues increase, which both contribute to reducing deficits, and eventually debt.
  21. And Bush didn't pack the court with judicial activists? The only difference is that you agree with their activist decisions, so in your view they're not activists, they're mainstream.
  22. Putting aside the curious confession that you've checked out my nutsack... Yes I complained when Bush raised spending with a needless and unjustified invasion of Iraq AND cut taxes, therefore significantly increasing the debt while lowering revenue. But once we were in Iraq, that black hole of spending (not included in the yearly budgets) had to be paid for to provide our troops with the support they needed, yet Bush and the Republicans continued the unprecedented policy of lowering taxes in a time of war. And those are facts that you conservatives just can't walk away from. Obama didn't start the Iraq war, and even voted against it, but like the bank failures and recession, he now has to clean up the mess started by others, and that unfortunately means spending more than we or he would like, but what is necessary. And the result is slow but steady progress, with increased job growth, more people restarting their job searches because of renewed hope in job growth, and a continued rise in the stock market and our investments in it. More jobs means more tax revenue, and more tax revenue means less debt.
  23. Funny how there wasn't an outcry from the right and a Tea Party movement when Bush was doubling the debt and fighting a war off the books, or even when Reagan significantly raised the debt. And much of the debt Obama has accumulated was to prevent a further economic decline, but I suppose you would have preferred a depression. And reducing the debt will require a combination of cutting spending and raising taxes, that's just common sense. We've gone too long with reduced taxes while increasing spending. Just this week the military industrial complex has been told that the waste and excess in the military will need to be cut back. Will the Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, have the guts to make the tough cuts? Obama can only propose, the Congress has to enact.
  24. You just keep believing that. Most people vote with their pocketbooks, and by 2012 the economy will be sufficiently recovered with job growth and the continued rise in the stock market. And all you can do is hope that we don't recover. How's that feel rooting against the home team?
