  1. Or he should have gone through with stabbing Junior, gone to jail, and Tony had to live with the knowledge that he was turned into some prisoner's girlfriend.
  2. One of the best episodes of The Simpsons was when Homer ate blowfish and thought he only had a day to live.
  3. Tax cuts aren't going to put more money into the economy when people are afraid of losing their jobs. They'll just save it for when they really need it, or use it to keep up on existing debt payments. George Will said that for years people have been spending beyond their means, and now when the economy needs them to spend, they've become fiscally responsible to the point that it's hurting the economy.
  4. I always thought that it was intentionally left open ended to leave the possiblity of a movie in the future. It seemed too obvious that they wanted it to look like a hit at the end, but we are left guessing.
  5. Cowards. Send them to New York State. Hell, build a prison near my neighborhood, we could use the jobs. This belief that somehow they would be dangerous because they're in a prison in the U.S. is just cheap theatrics. They would be more closely scrutinized than most of the prisoners in the country.
  6. I would say she's more like Palin Plus; the family and personality like Palin, but the brains to go with it. I think it was a good pick, a moderate from outside of NYC that should get some Republican and Independent votes. She seems to be more conservative than Rudi Guiliani, who is a potential opponent.
  7. Lisa's the best, like a dirty Don Rickles. She has an hour performance on Comedy Central Sat. night at 11pm.
  8. All the people who are complaining about Gitmo being closed.
  9. George Mitchell, the architect of the Northern Ireland peace agreements, has been appointed as special envoy to the Middle East to reengage diplomatic efforts there. And Richard Holbrooke, the broker of the Dayton Peace Accords that ended the conflict in Bosnia, will be special envoy to the Afganistan/Pakistan region. It sends a strong signal to the world that the U.S. will once again use diplomacy, and not just military, to resolve major conflicts.
  10. They probably get better treatment at Gitmo than they would at Attica. What's the big deal where they're imprisoned, the fact remains that they're imprisoned. I'm sure they'll be under greater than normal scrutiny wherever they are.
  11. Superhero movies get no respect. How about a nomination for The Dark Knight or Iron Man.
  12. She probably was told by Patterson as a courtesy that she wasn't going to get it, so she could drop out beforehand to save face. If it's not Cuomo, I'd bet on Rep. Steve Israel.
  13. I think by sack record, he was referring to how many times he could get fired by a team and rehired by another.
  14. Stop talking about players you think the Bills should take. They always go for some guy that wasn't talked about until right before the draft. You're going to jinx the possibilites.
  15. It may have been his fault, but it was corrected while he was still president and before 1941. He didn't leave an economic mess for the next president to clean up.
  16. It was a temporary 1 year drop, and then the recovery continued in 1938 and forward.
  17. The positive turnaround began in 1933 and continued with both industrial production and GDP reaching above pre-depression levels by 1937. The war just expanded an already growing economy.
  18. When did I ever say combat operations were equivilent to war? I was arguing against that false premise.
  19. He brought the country out of much worse economic times than we have now, and led the country on a path to victory against much tougher enemies than we have now. Things got better under Roosevelt, things got worse under Bush. To compare the two is an insult to Roosevelt.
  20. Didn't you hear, the Professor Irwin Corey school of thought says you can't have cold weather during global warming.
  21. Koko was an average sized wrestler who danced, Abdullah was a huge fat guy. Kamala was the Ugandan headhunter, with his handler Kimchee.
  22. He's related to Ralph Wilson, so he's immortal.
  23. And I thought it wouldn't get better then the fact he buys anniversary gifts at a Pistol & Pawn Shop. He should set up a video camera and have his wife try it on him so she gets the hang of it.
  24. It's so sad that some people like yourself have been so brainwashed that you think people are cowards unless they serve in the miltary. FYI I've been volunteering helping kids for over a decade, but maybe I should stop because I wasn't in the military. And my manager's son who lost a leg in Iraq still thinks it was a mistake to go there. Iraq is a soverign nation, we are not at war with Iraq anymore. I guess you're auditioning for Bush's job of being fast and loose with the English language.
