That's the funniest thing I've read in weeks.

What's the autographed baseball story?

And Vince presumably wont learn a thing from this.

Barring something incredible tomorrow night, Cotto-Paulie was the FOTY. I guess, having grown up watching boxing, I think most of the belts look cool. But I can see how they'd look ridiculous to others.

What were the ONS buyrates again?

I don't try to be a heel at all ... let alone "really hard". And I didn't scold anyone. Just called it as I saw it. Okay, great. Did you fit that post in between defending Nickelback because "they move units" and calling a sports talk station to say "you never played the game"? And all that "Leena qualities as a messageboarder" repeated bullshit.

He is very consistent about forgetting that though this is a wrestling messageboard we don't need somebody to always try really hard to be a 'heel'.

With the amount of money being spent by teams this offseason, GWB would make a perfect choice for commisioner to preside over the shopping spree.

Too bad 'The Meatpuppets' is taken.

I guess that's why everyone liked Ike back in the day.

Did Conkrite get 58,000 woodys in the 1960s?

I can see him breaking both this year as well and if he plays next season, both definitly. He will also probably break the career completions (Marino, of course) mark this season.

For the record, Favre needs 11 tds to break Marino's record & 13 to break Blanda's. The brilliant Dr Z has gone on the record saying that Favre was one bad season away from eclipsing Blanda's record and not being a first-ballot hall of famer. Blanda himself made it on the first ballot.

I actually liked that show, though I know I am the minority.

Which records will be broken this year? LT for tds in a season? Brett Favre for touchdown passes in a career? Brett Favre for interceptions in a career?

I might go to the Govt Mule show in Madison next Thursday, depending on how much I spend on Xmas crap this weekend. I doubt it will dissapoint if I do go.

Is that less than the Wrestlepalooza crowd in GA?

Brewers signed Craig Counsell for 2 years.

Newt fucking Gingrich has now called it a civil war. Bill O Reilly, the oft-tarded man that he is, says that NBC is rooting for America to lose by calling this a civil war.

Has anyone suggested that Obama uses a ghostwriter? I haven't heard that yet, but won't be surprised to. I know JFK's (no, Jerk, I'm not comparing Obama to JFK) Profiles in Courage is always mentioned as possibly ghostwritten. And John Ehrlichman went to his grave feeling that John Dean's books (Blind Ambition in particular) were ghostwritten.

Between the huge spending, the Patriot Act, wished for federal-control of all wombs, and nation-building (among other things)...can anyone argue that the Republican Party has not become the home for Big Govt?

Yes, the debates (and the Cooper Union address among other things) were well publicized at the time...but the ability to acquire such information was far more dificult due to a lack of options (newspapers, pamphlets, word of mouth, books) and to get anything in a timely fashion was next to impossible. One had to go out of their way to gain such knowledge in the 1800s. Fortunately for the particpants of that era, Americans involved themselves in the politcal process as we do the NFL today. Today, in the case of Barack Obama, there are his speeches which are carried live (and then replayed) on C-SPANs, televised interviews & speeches ready to be seen & heard on tv, radio, & online, Wikipedia for quick links and info, his own website and others' dedicated to him, and he has a book out right now that deals exclusively with his political stances. How people might struggle to find out how he thinks and feels is due to laziness and nothing else.

Yeah, lots of people post every minute on the minute, harass anyone that ever thinks differently, likes to watch cars speed around an oval, and cheers for (a certain football team that I shouldnt say because I'm giving it away).

I don't really see how (name of PBP I'm not allowed to mention) has changed much, if at all, from when he was (the original name of the poster I'm not allowed to mention).

They should re-induct Andre. Wasn't he the first inductee, more than ten years ago, without much of a ceremony? Savage & Steamboat would be fitting but one of those probably won't happen.
