  2. This is still Sex, Lies and Music, right? Link the first. Monday. Link the second. Thursday.
  3. QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 06:48 PM) Nice! I'm not switching from my M. O. -- I stole it.

  5. QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 04:11 PM) I bet Colonel Sanders had something to do with it.. He trimmed his beard, which is in defiance of the teachings of the prophet. KFC must burn!
  6. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) In a nutshell this is exactly what is wrong with American politics. There is no choice by the voters anymore, at all, in either party. We don't even get to choose canditates early in the process, because we have the parties filtering out canditates behind the scenes. And they can control all of these things because they control the purse strings through our discriminatory campaign finance laws. The party has all of the money because of the hard caps regarding what you can give directly to a canditate so they control what we hear about canditates almost completely. We have zero choice. You might as well have the politburo putting together the party slate, because right now the only difference between us and the communist states of prior days is that there are basically two politburos who have to fight it out, instead of just one. This system is a complete joke and needs to be completely blown up and replaced with something where all canditates stand on equal ground. Dollar vote does not equal free speech. Free speech equals free speech. Agreed. But when was there a great deal of choice for the voters? For most of our history, career political hacks chose all the candidates for us, didn't they? Smoke-filled rooms, and all that? Here's a link to a film about the good old days.
  7. So wait. Can we joke about it yet? Do we have until whittington is out of the woods? Or even out of the hospital? I really need to know. "Tragedy is something bad happens to you. Comedy is when something bad happens to someone else."
  8. QUOTE(mreye @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 12:51 PM) They had Dear Abby on stone tablets? I used to catch Dear Abby every morning with the newest cave paintings.
  9. QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 12:51 PM) What? No more joke quotes? :headshake Did you year the one about the poachers who were shooting pen-raised quail?
  10. QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 11:25 AM) As YASNI said it is President Jackson. His Inguration party absolutely tore up the White House, destroying all the dishes and most of the china. Jackson knew how to throw a party. Another fun fact about Andrew Jackson: in his youth, he participated in many duels. One of these was with Thomas Hart Benton, in 1813. After Benton shot Jackson, he fled Tennessee for the relative safety of Missouri. Jackson carried the bullet for many years. Years later, when both men were in Washington, Jackson's doctors agreed to remove the bullet. Jackson offered the bullet back to Benton, but Benton declined, saying that Jackson now owned the bullet.

  12. No, no, a thousand times no! He could be the most talented and physically gifted player in the history of the league and I would still say no. You can't have a player with a me-first attitude in the NFL. Doing so will wreck your time, in time. When you consider that T.O. will be paid far less than he and Rosenhaus think he's worth, it's a recipe for disaster.
  13. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) You can use credit in any casino I have ever been in. I didnt know they are now cash-only? Are you referring to a credit card, or a house account? Because at any sports book I've been to in Vegas, I've had to pay cash for my wagers.
  14. Jayson Stark with a fun look at how the game has progressed since 1981.
  15. QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) And with all this Lincoln love, how can we forget his suspending of habeas corpus? And more here: http://www.civilwarhome.com/pulito.htm Okay, you're right about Habeas Corpus. However, with a rebel force numbering 60,000 plus a mere 30 miles from the White House, and many Confederate sympathisers in and around Washington City (as it was known at the time), he had to go to extraordinary lengths to save the country. The suspension was used in limited circumstances and was done away with as soon as practicable. athough one may think so, the suspension was not unconstitutional. From, Article I, section 9: The melding of the Declaration with the Constitution was a masterstroke, IMO. Really, instead of adhering to a document which counted slaves as 3/5 of a person and disregarded, as citizens, "indians not taxed", he decided that the message of our nation was inclusiveness.
  16. Blatantly stolen from another message board:

  18. I could waste millions of electrons justifing the choice of Buchanan, but I'll just leave it that I agree with BHAM wholeheartedly on this one.
  19. One Sox fan's top three: 1) (tie) George Washington 1) (tie) Abraham Lincoln 3) James K. Polk
  20. QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:12 PM) The state and locals have to be willing to give up command and control. For the NOPD, there was no command and control. Absolutely. Everyone is to blame. If this happened in Japan, the resignations would have been overwhelming. All the folks involved here are just trying to figure out the most creative way to cover their own sorry asses.
  21. Wouldn't it be amazing if it were Nefertiti's tomb?
