Might as well stop bannings altogether if people are allowed back this easilly/obviously.

I put Cheney on the same level as LBJ, the bottom of America's political barrell. But he clearly dominated on that occasion. I think that a look at Cheney's warhawk views can be extrapolated from his gay-marriage views. Having a lesbian daughter, he is better able to understand a side of that story that he otherwise would not, and takes a states-rights stance on the issue. Had he had other things to do in the 1960s besides eluding the draft repeatedly, his views on war now would probably also be far different.

In the 1850s one probably had to go out of their way, over a period of time, to find out about the goings-on at those fabled debates. There was no Nexus search, 24 hr television news, C-SPANs, internet etc...it should go without saying that knowing a candidate's stances is FAR easier now than it was then. But apparently it does need repeating. Just because those Douglas-Lincoln debates have become legendary over the years due to numerous books and the incredible legacy of Lincoln, the only way to find out about them at the time was by either being in Illinois, reading newspaper accounts (that could take weeks to be 'fresh news'), or the pamphlets that were published over the months/years following. John Edwards was Cheney's chewtoy that night. Very brutal television.

Also, tonight Versus will show 3 fights from the Top Rank ppv over the summer... Cotto-Malinaggi B. Pacquiao-Kelley JCC Jr.

"I didnt ASK you THAT! I ASKED you how your son is DOING! Now watch me snort this bump."

Yeah, listen to the PBP everybody.

Someone tried arguing with me that Johnny Cougar & Bruce Springsteen sound exactly the same. I didn't bother to hold up my end of the debate.

When did Colin Powell join the Terrorcrats?

"Nice black fellow" is all Barack Obama has going for him...you said that in the face of all the information readily available about him, as it is apparently too dificult for some people (yourself included) to actually read about or watch speeches by a potential candidate. The election was weeks ago Czech, the worlds still spinning proper. Are your walls spinning too?

Since when do the Raiders put actual thought into signing people?

And the guy that got knocked down, twice, tests positive for speed.

I was happy to know I can still enjoy the reruns the first few times I watched after all this shit.

Can we all agree that the Raiders would be the team to take Vick if he does get dropped by the Falcons?

November 2004 is even more boggling, though the John Kerry didn't provide much of an alternative.

What are everybody's picks for all the fights Saturday night? I'm taking Winky by decision (but rooting for Ike), Lacy by ko within 8, Cotto by late stoppage over Quintana (FOTN probably), and Clottey in the upset (I'm really tired of the Margarito hype...nobody is ducking him, and the one time he stepped up and fought someone with a pulse/experience he got beat by Forbes).

ESPN aired the first in a string of three afternoons of Muhammed Ali fights today. Much better than the usual poker and retired benchwarmers acting like football experts.

If it's not possible to have more than one 'one night stand', what have I been doing for the last few years?

Well, the Mark David Group is a very good blues band, but unfortunately nobody ever has or will hear of them.

Well, what other bands does it have to compete with from the Madison area? Some shitty jambands? It could have been Suspended Zen, but we disintegrated after recording one EP. Garbage rules by default. Sadly.

Madison's best.

We prefer to be called 'Hipster Deficient'.

I guess I dont remember hearing that in '04, though I'm sure the speculation was there...just as it was when Bush Jr was first elected Governor, and JFK was first elected Senator, and Reagan was first elected governor, and.... Good thing people didn't act like this in 1860. Lincoln hadn't even won the Senate seat. He went from losing a Senate election to the Presidency. He was also an ugly man. The Czechs and Invaders of the world wouldn't have been able to handle that.

Bill Frist has decided not to run.

The Good Lord chose not to bless Kid Rock with much of a brain. But thats ok, doesnt take much to cover shitty Bad Company songs and rake in the cash & sluts.
