So you're saying that Republicans can't win with better ideas, their only hope is to attack Obama to reduce his favorablity down below theirs? That's not much of a gameplan.

A quick drive through Syracuse down South Salina (main street), then past Carrier, New Venture Gear, and Syracuse China will tell anyone what the biggest problems are. No different than the problems in Rochester and Buffalo. I'm thinking Fran Drescher may not be a bad alternative for Senator. She's got the personality and experience in public to mix it up with other politicians. Other actors or beauty queens have made the jump to politics; Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin, Gopher from Love Boat, Sonny Bono. On second thought, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea.

I wish people would try to understand the science of global warming, that it doesn't mean it just gets hotter everywhere, but that it creates changes in the weather patterns and climate. But it's easier to go for the simplistic view that if it's not hotter, there's no global warming.

Now the people in Africa who get these unused shirts will never know who lost the Stanley Cup finals.

There's no way the Bills would or could outspend more attractive locations for Haynesworth. The best we can hope for is that they pick up a decent C, G, and TE. The defense was good enough to win this year if they had help from the offense (and the coaches).

Think about the recruiting advantage Auburn would have had if they had hired a qualified black coach like Gill. For a black coach to go around the southeast and offer black athletes a chance to play for him at a major college could have made the difference between them going to Auburn and another school.

They should hire Buddy Ryan just to stand on the sidelines and punch the other coaches whenever they make a stupid call.

Hardy is this years version of John McCargo.

Because having more people collecting unemployment, not paying payroll taxes, and reducing consumer spending is really going to help turn the economy around.

Matt Ryan (no TDs), Steve Slaton, Reggie Wayne, Lance Moore.

I heard the Lions made inquiries to the NFL about the end of season flex scheduling for Sunday nights, and asked if they could be flexed into playing the Bills in a home-and-home.

I don't understand why an extension couldn't have waited until after the season. It's not like there's other teams just waiting for Dick to be available so they can hire him to be their savior.

I predict the next innovation in pro sports stadium revenue will be to build condos on one side of the stadium, with windows or balconies overlooking the fields. They'll sell them for a couple million each with annual PLLs (Personal Living Licenses).

I heard Ralph bathes in virgin blood to stay alive. The press box was moved...to Toronto.

So if he had been honest about it from the beginning, nobody on the right would have complained? Employers frown upon it because they don't want to be liable in lawsuits. There was no lawsuit forthcoming from this relationship.

Perhaps they have more experience, or the cost of living in the north and larger cities is more than the rural south. The unions negotiated for those wages, if the companies didn't think they could be profitable with those wage levels then they shouldn't have agreed to them. Don't sign contracts and then complain about how they're unfair. One could ask what skills do the non-UAW workers lack that would justify paying them $5 less than union workers? Or are they just being taken advantage of in economically depressed areas that are desperate for jobs even if they underpay?

That was a loan, and it was payed back to the gov't with interest. We actually made a profit on the deal while keeping them in business.

I think that's the key. If it said "worked great", the guy could claim he figured someone could buy it and repair it. Past tense is past tense.

Still 4 divisions per conference, each with one division with 5 teams. 4 division winners plus 4 wildcards, no playoff byes. AFC East: NYJets, NewEngland, Baltimore, Toronto North: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis South: Tennessee, Jacksonville, Houston, Miami West: KC, Denver, SD, Oakland, Vancouver NFC East: Dallas, NYGiants, Philly, Washington, Montreal North, South, West the same as now.

I never understood putting blue cheese on wings. That just smothers the taste. It's like putting Miracle Whip on pizza.

I thought he was auditioning last week for the CFL. Since he kept overthrowing the receivers he must have been showing how he would do with the bigger field.

Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher, the Ohio voter who challenged President-elect Barack Obama on his tax plan and later became a hero of John McCain's presidential bid, said Tuesday he felt "appalled" at some of his interactions with the Arizona senator, and soon felt the need to ditch his campaign. Speaking with conservative talk-radio host Glenn Beck, Wurzelbacher said he was specifically at odds with McCain's support over the massive $700 billion bailout, a measure many conservatives opposed despite McCain's attempts to shepherd the bill on Capitol Hill. “When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen,” Wurzelbacher told Beck. “I asked him some pretty direct questions,” he continued. “Some of the answers…they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. "In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him." Despite his disappointment with McCain though, Wurzelbacher praised Palin as "absolutely the real deal." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/...ain/#more-32308

King Leonidas wouldn't stand for this.

Is he cooking the wings or sleeping with them? He sounds as passionate about them as Brad Garrett's mechanic character on Seinfeld did about Jerry's car.
