Not having book smarts doesn't make one dumb, just less educated. There's plenty of people who went to college that are dumb. The difference between hockey players and some football players may be that hockey players usually come from two parent families with middle to upper incomes, which is necessary to fund the equipment and travel required for top players. Some football players come from urban areas where they grew up around negative influences, and had single parents (no father figure) to provide positive male role models. So some football players have more social issues to overcome. Some do and mature, and some don't and end up in bad behavior.

If the Bills feel their top priority is the running game, then instead of using the 1st pick on a RB, they should use it on an OL. You can run an average back behind a quality line, but you can't run a quality back behind an average line. Denver is the example to follow. If Lynch is out for a period, they will need someone to spell Jackson, and the better route is to get a FA veteran.

This is hilarious, so much anger from the laissez-faire lemmings who think that tax cuts for the wealthy and corporate welfare are the answers for all our economic problems. Well too bad, you had 6 years of control to prove trickle down works, and it failed. Where's all the jobs we were promised that the wealthy would shower upon us? And now you have the nerve to moan about a Recovery AND Relief package (it's not just a stimulus) that has such "pork" as providing funds to retain police and firemen, extend unemployment benefits, and renovate schools. I leave you with the immortal words of some of you after Bush was selected by the SCOTUS. "Get over it!"

I'd say ILB Mauluga would make the quickest big impact. They could move Poz to outside, and with Mitchell that would give them a quick, hard hitting, quality set of LBs that could play every down. If they get a DL, they'll platoon him so he won't get as many plays.

Elephant ears were big oval shaped, 5-6" across, fluffy but crunchy, topped with a sugary white frosting. I've never found polish sausage or potato pancakes that tasted as good as the homemade stuff. My aunt who made the sausage never measured the ingredients, just used the handful and pinch of spices method. She would let me turn the handcrank grinder she used to fill the casings.

Homemade polish sausage and potato pancakes that two of my departed aunts used to make, with fresh rye bread and a butter lamb for Easter, and chrusciki (angel wings) and elephant ear cookies for dessert.

Electric razors are much better if you have sensitive skin or get alot of nicks and cuts. I've been using Norelcos for a long time, I bought my latest tripleheader rechargable last year for about $80 that you can clean with water. It cuts close enough that I shave every other day, and has the trimmer for moustache and sideburns. I'd grow a beard before going back to blades. My whiskers grow in different directions, especially on my neck, and I could never get a close shave with a blade without nicks trying to go over the same area multiple times.

And you are !@#$ing clueless. I'll settle for scary.

Pay more attention to what he says and not how he says it, and you would here the coherent answers.

Funny how the "patriots" have suddenly had a revelation that we shouldn't spend money now that they're not in the majority and after they ran up the largest deficits and spending in our history. The wealthy got their time at the trough, but now that middle class Americans need some help, they're playing politics. Sorry, but America rejected their failed trickle down policies in the 2006 and 2008 elections. So instead of offering constructive input, the majority of Republicans have made the calculated political decision to be obstructionists at the peril of our economy, gambling that if recovery takes a long time they can argue that the recovery policies didn't work, and if the do work they figure Obama will get the credit anyway, so why bother. It's unfortunate that more of them haven't broken out of their old habits and followed the lead of "patriotic" Republicans like Sens. Snowe, Collins, Spector, and Gov. Christ, and put country ahead of party.

The questions are not canned, at every White House press conference a president has a list of the reporters on the podium that he references to call upon, so that all the prominent television and news agencies are represented. I'd rather have a president that pauses to contemplate the question and form a coherent answer than one that shoots from the mouth without much thought. What next, a critique of his ties?

Nobody was talking about her until you started this thread.

There's still good cartoons from the past few years, but they're mostly on at night on Cartoon Network. All the Bruce Timm shows (Justice League, Batman, Superman), Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Brothers, and some of the old school cartoons like Jonny Quest and the Herculoids.

It's time to get rid of the penny. Round everything to the nearest nickel. The only reason we still have it is for marketing purposes so a product can be sold at $4.99 instead of $5 to make people feel like they're spending a dollar less.

I would say that SE Asia is a very important area. She's going to China, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia. China and Japan are closely tied to our economy, the issue of North Korea's nuclear ambitions still have to be resolved, and Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population. Obama is multitasking foreign policy with Biden working Europe and Russia, Mitchell in the Middle East, Holbrooke in Afganistan/Pakistan, and Clinton in Asia. There are too many international issues that were left unresolved for just one person to single task.

Romney's ideas sound similar to what Obama is trying to do, but Romney would have a harder time getting it done without a Republican majority in Congress. I think McCain would have been clueless about what to do, other than the old failed tax cuts for the wealthy trickle down policy that would not have passed Congress. So as bad as the times are, I think of the possible candidates Obama has the best chance of getting some bipartisan agreement on a substantial comprehensive stimulus. And most economic experts believe it will probably take multiple packages before it's all over.

Somebody has to do the jobs, extended hours means either more staff or overtime for existing staff, and you need construction/plumbing/carpentry type workers to redo the restrooms. You're either insuring the current providers of the services stay employed, or are hiring new workers for the increased workload.

I don't buy the boy's story. We're supposed to believe that the room was pitch black dark, she never spoke, and he couldn't tell the difference between his girlfriend's body and this woman's.

Once they get healthy, it's time for Darcy to pull the trigger, move Max and Tallinder, and get a gritty 2nd line veteran in for the playoff run. Someone like Keith Tkachuk.

I thought this was a thread about another furniture store closing in Buffalo.

What do you think would be occurring now regarding a stimulus plan if McCain had won the election? Would he be trying to work with Democrats as Obama is with Republicans to get some bipartisan agreement, and upset the more conservative Republicans? Or would there be a deadlock and nothing would get passed? Would he even propose a stimulus, or just let the private sector try to work it out?

You're not missing anything, tax cuts are not stimulative in a situation where people have lost, are going to lose, or are afraid of losing their jobs. Working poor or middle class use the money to either pay off existing bills or save it for when they really need it in case they lose their job. And the wealthy are under no obligation to invest the tax cuts in the U.S., and will not significantly increase purchases over what they already spend. So the only alternative is for the gov't to spend domestically, which maintains or creates jobs, which increases consumer confidence, which then stimulates increased consumption.

Given the record of Bengal players incidents with the law, they probably figured they were voting for an open air prison.
