IMO, there has to be something wrong with Miller....He used to be one of the most sound position goalies I have seen in a while....now I constantly see him flying around the crease, sometimes out of position...also the league has solved his flopping style...anytime a guy has time, 80% of the time they are putting it under the cross bar on him....he is going down WAY too soon and teams have caught on...he needs to adjust his style or bad things are on the horizon...again this is just my opinion...i think Ryan Miller is a great guy and I would have a sandwich with him any day of the week, but he has been painfully oridinary for a good portion of this year
I think part of his problem is that he's mentally and physically fatigued. If they had a decent backup who they could put in for 15-20 games with confidence, and a couple games in the past month, he would be fresher. Look at how many games have gone to OT and SO. I'm suprised how bad TBo has been when he's played. Miller is making mental mistakes, not playing the angles properly. Like the first goal last night, that is a shot most goalies should stop; shooter forced wide and shooting from above the faceoff dot. It's discouraging to defensemen when they play it right and the goalie doesn't make that save. But I think his play is an effect of how the team has played, not the root cause of the problem. The main problem was expecting the 2nd and 3rd line players to play like 1st and 2nd line players before they were ready, and the lack of leadership that Drury provided on and off the ice. And having Campbell and Spacek out of the lineup was the beginning of the recent slide.

Putting aside Darin's fascination with my genitalia, my take on the issue is that she made a dumb exaggeration of the facts in an attempt to show she's as tough as the guys. It was unnecessary and is now another distraction from the real issues. Whether it's this, McCain's Iran-al Quada senior moments, or Obama's pastor disaster, there's still alot of time to see who's going to make the biggest gaffes of the campaign.

Here's a novel idea. How about only allowing Democrats to vote in the Democrat primaries, and only Republicans in the Republican primaries. If people aren't willing to commit to a party, then they shouldn't have a say in who that party nominates for the general election. Don't like the choices, then start your own party.

The thought of Hillary answering that phone is chilling. Not that it matters. She's got no shot to win if she wins the Democratic nomination. None. Zero. Nada.
As dissatisfied as people are with Bush, Hillary can't ride that to success in November. She's an uncharaismatic dud who pulls from an extremely limited demographic.
Yet she still beats or at worst ties McCain in the latest national polls.

Will Obama be serving him and Hillary cooking?
Oooh, you're racist! You're as bad as Obama's grandmother! But you're not sexist, because attacks on Hillary have become acceptable in the mainstream.
-
I would still rather have McCain answer that phone at 3:00 a.m.
As long as they don't call at 4:30pm, that's when the senior early bird dinner specials are.

It's not suprising he would get confused, given how supporters of the Iraq occupation like to blur the lines and equate all extremists to al-Quada, even those with local grievences and no threat to the U.S..

So if a white guy punches a black guy for no reason it is assault. And if a white guy punches a black guy after that black guy punched him first it is still just assault? You see no difference between the two? No irony? You see no cause and effect relationship between the first punch and second? These are both just assaults? Discrimination and reverse discrimination are both forms of discrimination but two different things.
To use your analogy, if I'm a white guy that got hit by the black guy's punch, but not the white guy who threw the first punch, then he just assaulted me. If I'm the white guy who lost out on a job because of a quota system for minorities, when I'm not the one who discriminated against minorities in the past, then I've been discriminated against. PC talk doesn't change the facts.
-
Right. And a double reverse is a hand-off.
When whites are being discriminated against because of blacks for no discernible reason, like, say, not being able to play CB in the NFL, it is discrimination.
When whites are being discriminated against because of the steps taken to try to stop discrimination that backfired, it is reverse discrimination. How hard is that to understand? You're beginning to sound like Wacka Molson.
When one group gets an advantage at the cost to another because of their ethnicity, that's discrimination. The term "reverse discrimination" is used by those who want to minimize the perceived impact of discrimination of minorities against whites. It's all discrimination.

Currently reading an alternate history book called World War: In the Balance by Harry Turtledove. Aliens invade the Earth during WWII and the Allied and Axis powers have to work together to fight them. It's the first book in a four book series.
-
agreed. I thought there was a lot of groundbreaking stuff. When do you ever hear a black guy, let alone a liberal Democrat, admitting there is reverse discrimination against whites and they do and should feel equally mad and unfairly treated.
When they know they have the black voters wrapped up and now want to get the blue collar white voters that are offended by the remarks of their pastor. And there is no such thing as reverse discrimination, it's just discrimination of blacks against whites. The reverse of discrimination would be acceptance and equal treatment.

You gonna say the same thing next time a guy with an ® next to his name falls victim to his or her weaknesses?
The difference has been hypocracy in policies and illegal activity. When an elected official has public policy positions that are in conflict with their secret activity, or they are conducting illegal activity, I believe that disqualifies them from elected office. Whether it's anti-gay legislation while conducting gay activity, prosecuting prostitution while using it themselves, impeaching someone for lying about sex while themselves having an affair, or campaign finance reform while taking bribes, it's all hypocracy regardless of political party. If the activity is legal and not in conflict with public policies, then it's a private family matter until the next election, when the voters can decide if that's the type of person they want to represent them.

I really don't think the situation in Tibet is black and white. Although it seems like the Chinese stance I just relayed sounds very much like propaganda, I do not think the Tibetans are completely innocent in this whole mess. I'm just wondering if anybody ever actually thinks about it, or if they just automatically decide that China=communism=bad, Tibet=religious freedom=good.
How can we really know unless we've been to Tibet?
If the Chinese aren't doing anything wrong, then why not let the international press into Tibet to report the news and talk to the various interests. Why do they restrict the media and internet access of their own citizens. If the Tibet issue isn't resolved peacefully and in the open, I would support a boycott of the Olympics. I think it was a mistake to award it to China in the first place, but money trumps freedom.

Nothing real serious, but some that really hurt. Threw discus and shot put in high school. At an away track meet a relay runner couldn't run so I was asked to sub, never having ran before. At the end of my lap and way out of gas I fell on the stone pebble covered track and got a bunch of sharp pebbles imbedded in my back. None of the coaches helped me out and I was like that for a couple more hours until I got home and my mother picked the stones out of my back.
College pickup basketball, came down with a rebound and split my chin open on another guy's head. Another time I got torsioned testicles, where the testicles wrap around each other. Constant sick feeling of getting kicked in the groin for about 3 weeks. Had to sit with my legs up whenever possible so they would unwrap without surgery.
Last year while playing ice hockey my legs were kicked out from behind and I fell on my taibone and hit my head. Got a slight concussion and I think I chipped my tailbone, because it still hurts occasionally if I sit too long.

With that much money she should be able to get herself rebuilt like the Bionic Woman. Or at least get a gun for her leg like the chick in Grindhouse.

They had a rough time during their marriage, they went to counciling, and decided to work it out and stay together. As long as they did nothing illegal it's their own business.

Dingleberry? There's something quite refreshing knowing the founding fathers, when in a heated debate about the direction of the country they were creating, call each other dingleberry.
Well toilet paper wasn't universally available back then, so I'm sure our founding fathers were quite familiar with dingleberries.

A couple of speedboats packed with explosives targeted towards a supertanker in the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices would go through the clouds (they're already through the roof).

So maybe you libs will learn something about liberty, freedom and tyranny. That fighting for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness does come with major sacrifice and God forbid, war. The liberals of today wouldn’t have fought this war with Briton. We would still be an English colony if it was up to the likes of Molson.
The radicals and liberals of the time were our original patriots because they fought for freedom against tyranny with everything to lose in return for liberty. The liberals of today are not patriots, they are communists.
The liberals of today don’t want liberty for the people, they want the government to have it. They don’t believe in the constitution, they want to rewrite it. They don’t want us to make our own decisions; they want to do it for us. They want to tax, tax, tax and tell us what we should earn, how we eat, how we raise our kids, what health insurance we should have, etc.
That's funny stuff, you should write for Glenn Beck. I read this and think of Fred Thompson getting all red in the face telling Sam Waterson what a liberal weenie he is.
Fred in 08 is back from the dead! The "Snooze 'til you lose" campaign continues!

IMO, it was all about the legal issues of it, not the sex.
Its like the Clinton thing. Libs LOVE to say the Repubs got on his case "over a blowjob." NO THEY DIDNT. They got on his case becuase he LIED about it and committed perjury.
You really believe that if Clinton had told the truth from the start and never lied to the grand jury, that the Republicans would have given him a pass and said it's a private matter? Let's be real.

Skeletons written about in a national newspaper a year ago. Sheesh. Give it up.
But the general voting public wasn't paying attention to details about Obama a year ago, now they are. And like I said, I would expect more to come as the Rezko trial goes forward and the RNC now focuses on him.

Harrison Ford vs the big German by the airplane in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The championship hockey game in Slapshop.
Rocky vs Apollo in Rocky.
Peter Griffin vs the Chicken (3 different times) on Family Guy.

Still time for Democrats to rally behind Hillary. You know what baggage you're getting with her, who knows what other skeletons are in Obama's closet, but I'm sure the RNC is looking.

Yeah..."Hypocrite douchebag"
I can agree with that, he's no better than a conservative who votes against gay rights and then has a gay affair.
FYI: Rule changes under consideration

I don't agree with making all facemask penalties 15 yards. An accidental grab and release is not the same as holding and twisting a player's head.
