This....his flip-flopping is not a good standard to set with the Hispanic bloc that some might assume he would garner just just because of his heritage. The more I look at him, I see all the good things that fox brought up cloaked in a shroud of neoconservatism. The fact that he's Hispanic...

This and the SCOTUS decision is what keeps big money in control of our government. I need to quit getting excited about any candidate because they are already bought and paid for by the time they reach this stage of the game.

I need to see him perform under campaign pressure and see how his views develop as time goes on before I can form a solid opinion of him. He hasn't faced the hard questions yet. Right now, I don't think he's conservative enough to capture the tea party voter and he may be too conservative to...

:goodpost: Exactly. Again, we are way behind the curve from a technology standpoint to make this a significant reality anytime soon. The power brokers are just too deeply invested in fossil fuels to embrace this paradigm shift before it's too late I fear.

Kane cleared to return against the Preds in game 1 on Wednesday. Critical for Chicago, who have had a tough time finding the back of the net in recent games, to have any chance of winning the Cup. Key question is....how well will he be able to handle hits? We'll find out real soon...

Nice job, rod....I won't be making any predictions this year due to superstition. No way am I jinxing this.

-edit- Sorry.

OK...well, touche' then. Point is....mankind and the continued advance of our civilization is using more water than ****** Nature is willing to provide. There are some desal plants in operation (not sure what you mean by "world class"....output capability I would suppose) in the USA and a good...

Babcock is a great choice for HC. He'll come with a steep price but he's one of the best coaches in the league IMO.

Yes, no & no.

It really is a shame what the mismanagement of that team has done to damage the franchise. The NHL is a better and stronger league when the Leafs are relevant and, as you point out, only a single playoff appearance in the last decade is disgraceful. I hope things turn around for you and all...

It's called the "Calder Cup" for you. The Marlies should have a good shot at taking out Iowa in the first round, don't you think?? ;) :jk:

Other than the OP of this thread (who, for whatever reason, has decided to close his account), to whom exactly are you referring regarding these comments? :dunno:

Thanks for the straight-laced rep! ;)

:goodpost:

The availability of clean, fresh water is one of the greatest challenges facing civilization as we forge ahead into the 21st century. In the USA, some states (California, Texas, Florida) are literally being sucked dry by a lethal combination of uncontrolled population growth and reduced...

Gala apples are great....sweet, crisp and thin-skinned. Love 'em.

^ :thumbsup:

Don't know if it's nationwide but they are selling their triple cheeseburger for $2 a pop all you want here in Tejas.

Here's that same quote by someone with a liberal outlook: Just depends whose ox is being gored. We generally tend to see what we look for.

It was around 1996 or so....some joint in Las Vegas with some customers of mine while we were there at a convention. I think it was Cheetah's maybe??

We're too deeply entrenched and our business is way too intertwined in that region for us to "cease all operations". If you're speaking hypothetically, it still wouldn't be enough since the extremists **** for us transcends any requirement for us to maintain a physical military presence in that...

Well....I can beat that (except I couldn't find the YouTube video). Back in the '60s, there was a McDonald's commercial that showed a guy getting 2 cents change back from a buck after buying a hamburger, fries and a soft *****. You're right though....here's the "feed four for less than $5" ad...

In a word, yes. Ever since the JFK-Nixon debates, it's all been about a massive marketing machine packaging a candidate and selling him/her to the electorate like he/she was a box of cereal (or, as on the classic cover of Joe McGinnis' 1968 book, a pack of cigarettes). At the end of the day...

100% correct. What a shame. Try to have a nice weekend in spite of it all, OK amigo?? :thumbsup:

My wife is going to be so pissed since I literally spewed my morning coffee against the wall when I read your "observation". "Straight-laced" is not a term that has ever been applied to me I can assure you. I won't go into detail but there are no shortage of witnesses to a past that is...

The Kings miss the playoffs, St. Louis wraps up the Central, The Wings clinch a playoff spot and the Bruins are on the brink of elimination after it seemed like they were going to be a shoo-in a couple of weeks ago. Everything ends tomorrow and the playoffs start next Wednesday. The Blues will...

Sure seems that way. I like the Rodney King approach way better...."Can't we all just get along?"

A very astute observation. The republican party seems to be so disjointed right now that I'm not sure there is any single candidate that would be a consensus choice for the vast majority of the party faithful to rally behind. I would love to see a unifying entity rise to the top because that...

Thanks for the rep, buddy. I guess MBG didn't think much of it since he closed his account. That's to bad....all this **** just needs to stop and that cuts both ways.

While it would appear from all the evidence so far that the officer in question is certainly worthy of the charges leveled against him, I find it abhorrent that a black man such as yourself would post an emoticon of people partying while Mr. Scott's ****** and friends are in serious pain from...

To be fair, no one "screams for justice" when it's a white cop that ***** a white guy either. That's not where the dichotomy lies although the intent may be similar or perhaps even identical. I'm sure it happens many times over, regardless of race. Problem is, it's the racial angle that makes...

Pssst....Johan. He's just yanking your chain, dude....largely because it is just so fucking easy to do! My advice is....don't play the part of the dog to his Foghorn Leghorn.

By the way, the disallowed goal by Stastny due to an extremely questionable slashing call in the second period was the definitive turning point in that game last night. Had the Blues scored the typing goal as most of us rooting for the Note believe they should have, the outcome of that game...

Sky News online (Roku, etc) is a great smorgasbord of world views on the news of the day. A pleasant diversion from the highly-biased products from the US for the most part.

I'm putting everyone here on notice that WHEN (not if) the Jets make the playoffs, they are going to be a handful for whomever draws them in the first round (right now, it's the Blues). They are big, fast, physical and they have a goaltender who is on fire right now. I like 'em a lot as a dark...

What is the answer to the Bert Campaneris question, John???

Well then I'd say your viewpoint is biased. If you look at both networks without blinders, they are virtual opposite mirror images of each other save for the fact that Fox pretends to be hard news while MSNBC does not (their tagline is "Lean Forward"....a progressive reference for sure)...

This has been discussed many times here and I think the general consensus is that networks like Fox News and MSNBC are seriously slanted in different directions and, as such, exist primarily to provide continued validation for your already predisposed notions on any given issue....pure...

He's simply too flaky to have any sort of mass appeal in my book. I like some of his libertarian views but his stance against freedom of choice for women, equal rights for all Americans (including the LGBT community) and his off-the-wall support for nutty ideas like the repeal of the Civil...

Best of luck to you as you begin the next chapter of your life, Petra! :thumbsup:

With all due respect and you certainly could be right, Red, but the reality of it is that it's only one game. The Astros shut out the Indians and beat the reigning AL Cy Young winner last night too. I don't think either team is going undefeated so let's see where they are in September and then...

This is so true. How totally amazing that Washington was so cognizant of this danger so many years ago. So tragic that his warnings have remained unheeded and have unfortunately come to fruition in recent years.

I disagree. The Blues played a very controlled game from start to finish. They didn't even score until they went on the PP after Rozsival's cross check so Shaw's aerial attempt didn't really seem to have much effect one way or the other from my perspective. The Blues stayed out of the box...

Geez....why the voluminous vitriolic venomous verbiage about the great state of Texas? :dunno: :mad: :dunno: Shirley yew no that Texas ain't got nuthin' on North Florida wen it cums to unedumacated hicks so's yoo best be a mite kareful throwin' them they're stones in that li'l ol' glass house...

I have to DVR both of them due to ****** obligations. :eek: :facepalm: :hairpull:

Looks like Atlanta's commitment to rebuild has taken another step. Huge pickup for the Padres at who-knows-what kind of a price.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Jose Oquendo.

Next question.... Pete Rose is the all-time MLB hits leader with 4,256. Who holds the all-time MLB record for most times striking out with 2,597?

There are good and bad Christians, just like any other demographic slice you can find. To make claims otherwise is simply inaccurate. If assari has himself deluded into believing his OP is true, it makes no difference to me. I refuse to attend church for more reasons than the ones you listed...
