Obama/Clinton send 900,000,000 to palestine
PastaJoe replied to VABills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Oh I'll go there, because it was a clusterf#$k to put our troops in the middle of that mess. If they weren't allowed to shoot, then that's on Reagan for agreeing with that restriction. -

Palestine is a nation now? If Reagan was in office, we'd be sending Marines into Gaza. Oops, been there, done that in Lebanon. How'd that work out? -
If Cutler is so good, then why is Denver trying to get rid of him? Is it his personality or attitude? And who would they replace him with?

War dead will now be allowed to be photographed

It's wasn't about making him look bad, it was about showing the consequences of his bad decisions. If he looked bad, that's on him. -
The Sabres are more likely to drop down to the Leafs level than the Leafs are to climb to the Sabres level. Started eating Quaker Oatmeal to Go Bars instead of PopTarts. Got the bulk box at BJs. They're more nutritious, and you can microwave them in their wrapper. Oatmeal Raisin, Banana Bread, and Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavors.

That occurs all the time regardless of who's the president. How nice of him to "allow reporters" to report. That was their way of restricting their freedom of access to report what, where, and when they wanted, so like the pictures of caskets, they could control as much as possible the stories coming back to Americans. You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own set of facts. There were few if any American casualties from the NATO intervention in Bosnia, which was the largest military operation during Clinton's terms. Compare that to Bush and Iraq. -
Just like Nelson Rockefeller, he came and he went. There's a reason why God makes our equipment fail as we get older, our hearts can't take the activity. There needs to be a training program to get people in shape to use the pills.

Players come out of retirement to play for the Pats. He'll probably get 100 yards vs the Bills.

It wasn't an issue during Clinton because we didn't have many casualties during that time. It became an issue during Iraq because it prevented Americans from seeing the human cost of the Iraq occupation on a daily basis, because Bush knew it would be politically damaging to his policy of war of choice. -

Then let's go back to the original rule of yes for all, which worked fine throughout our history. The reason it was changed was that GHWBush was seen joking at a press conference on a split screen as coffins were coming off a plane during Desert Storm. So it was done to avoid further political embarrassment, and to avoid having Americans be reminded of the cost of war, which may prompt them to push to end it sooner. Protecting the families wasn't the primary motivation, but that's the excuse they used. -
ESPN is having NFL Live on at midnight tonight to cover it.

They'd be better off leaving the Convention alone and letting them embarrass themselves with their radical rightwing statements. I wonder if they'll allow the media to cover, or will they be afraid to let the public know what is said.

Ask the families before they are flown back to Dover. Take the ones that are allowed to be photographed off first, then ask the photographers to leave and take the rest off. Or if there are enough for multiple flights (hopefully not but possible), segregate the flights by those that have permission and those that don't. -
The class war has been going on for years, and the wealthy have been winning while the middle class has been losing. The wealthy did just fine at the Clinton era tax levels.

I was actually looking forward to seeing Enroth play. I expect them to lose to Carolina anyways given their lack of offense. And I'd take Vanek at 50% than some of the others at 100%. Even if he could just play the power play.

It's acknowledged so much because it was a turning point in comics. Along with The Dark Knight Returns, it started the era of gritter stories about heroes with questionable character and methods, who often broke the rules in order to enforce them, and has had a lasting effect on the comic industry.

Golfers, Match play scoring question...
PastaJoe replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
They could show ties, 10-5-3, won 10, lost 5, tied 3. Give the remaining holes to the winner, that's the bonus of kicking the other guy's butt. Or play all the holes regardless of score. -
Name The International Space Station Node 3
PastaJoe replied to /dev/null's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Isn't it time we got some corporate sponsorship for space exploration? Paint the Coca-Cola or McDonalds logo for a few million on every future space launch and equipment. Every bit helps. Imagine what they could get for putting logos on the next Mars explorer. Paint it up like a race car if it helps pay the bills. -
Rumors are that the Sabres might try to pick up another goalie if they think Miller will be out awhile. Maybe even Marty Biron. With Enroth up, Portland is down to their 4th and 5th goalie options. Adam Dennis is out with a hip injury, and Enroth's latest backup John DeCaro just broke his collarbone. http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.ph...88&ac=PHspt

All our great visual technological advances can be attributed to the demand for porn; VCRs, video recorders, pay-per-view TV, DVDs, and the internet. Support the economy.

PastaJoe replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Why not just keep it simple and say he won 12 holes, the other guy won 6, so he won 12-6. And if the the guy's is ahead by 6 holes with 5 left, just add those 5 to his score. So every score totals 18. That's like tennis with the love, 15, 30, etc., why not just go 1,2,3,4. -
You're right, it's tonight after midnight. ESPN is having a live NFL Live special on at that time to discuss FA and report any quick signings.
