Um, it wouldn't be a decision, that's how a draft works...

My friends at college all seem to be talking about rumors of the draft returning sometime in the next year or 2, citing the recent filling of draft boards and the need for more soldiers not just in Iraq but for the future of the War on Terror. The interesting thing is they insist that it doesn't matter if Bush or Kerry is president, and that it's a bi-partisan plan being kept quiet until after the election, so it doesn't sound like just liberal Bush bashing. They further say that women would also be drafted and that college would no longer be an exception, and you'd only be able to delay service until the end of the current semester, or year if you are a senior. I really can't find much except message board chatter online and a few articles here and there reporting on the filling of the draft boards in possible preparation for a draft. Needless to say, it's somewhat worrying, and although overall I don't buy it, others think differently. So, is this just an erroneous rumor, or is there a very real possibility? EDIT: Again, since it's just a rumor it's not like I could post a "legitimate" article, so keep in mind this is from an indymedia sight, and obviously biased, but sums up most of the chatter I've seen:

Perfect game=no baserunners allowed.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/MeanGirls-1131931/ 85% POSITIVE REVIEWS!?! Guh? What is going on?

O's lose again in 12. Dejean left in for 3 innings and fails again. I can't take it anymore! Still 12-10 on the season...

Now with SNAZZY PICTURES~!

What are you, her agent?

For 15 dollars for the whole season, you get online access to live radio feeds for all the teams, and acess to archives of past games. So, you can choose to listen to your local radio broadcast, or the opposing team's if you like, for all games. Arguments about how radio stations should be allowed to stream online for free aside, it's a good deal, and well worth it if you can't pick up your team's broadcast on your reciever. Get it here: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/audio/gda/index.jsp For the curious, MLB TV is 15 dollars a month and provides live TV feeds for most games (unlike the radio though you can't choose between the home or away feeds, its kind of a crapshoot which one they choose), and you also get acess to archives for all games. I'm in an akward situation, as at school, my cable doesn't cover the O's (just Phillies), but this "zone" is considered a Baltimore zone as well (I guess the cable system outside of the school does cover the O's), so I found out live O's games are blacked out. The only reason I bought it. Goodie. But, on the bright side, after the games end the archives for all games are able to be viewed, so it's just a matter of avoiding the score, and later that night or the next day watching the replay of the game (and skipping commercials!) or listening live to the radio feed, and then skimming through video highlights. So, just a warning if you're considering it, to check to see if your zipcode is in a blackout zone for a team you want to see. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/video/mlb_tv.jsp

Ponson pitching to Javy Lopez, he looks fine. Now 2 straight games pitching to Keith Osik, he has 2 horrible starts. Now that Javy apparently has a strained oblique, this could be a real problem. Besides possibly losing our best hitter, Osik obviously brings out the worst in our pitchers and might be the worst "hitter" in baseball. Oh, his supposedly good defense has allowed 3 passed balls in 2 games...

O's have money to spend, and could use a real ace....

Mike might be interested that this list appears to come from this link: http://www.tilenut.com/yo/BUSH_record.html (which a bunch of my inane friends have put on their AIM profiles) and the guy has apparently added a few sources and has a disclaimer at the bottom that says he's working on getting more sources up...just to let you know for...fun, I guess...

Just be happy Russo didn't name him E. Jack U Lation or something...

Orioles rally in the 7th to blow it open- 8-2! Luis Matos with his 3rd hit of the night, 2 runs bases loaded.

O's up 4-0 in the 4th. Last inning, Tejada singled in Roberts, then Palmeiro singled in Mora, then Lopez RBIed (on an error to 3rd) in Tejada and Surhoff sac flied in Palmeiro. Now that's produtive. Brian Roberts is 3-3 and Dubose is starting and just crusing along here... EDIT: 4-2 now as 2 Mariners score on groundouts.

O's snap their 3 game losing streak, as the pitching returned to form, with 5 solid innings from Ainsworth, 3 hitless from Parrish and 1 hitless from Julio. 3-1 over Mariners. They play Seattle again today at 3, so I guess I'll listen to the radio webcast instead of my usual habit of waiting for the game to be avaliable in the video archive...

That they're still in business all things considered would say probably not...

I'm incredibly ignorant of how these laws work, but it mentioned eBay, does that mean that selling used WWF/WCW videos on eBay will no longer be allowed? (I'm talking the official ones with the boxes, not self made ones...)

Total 2 match (maybe 3 match) show, but I think those are enough to make it a must order. NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH THE PHENOMENAL AJ STYLES vs. RAVEN After weeks of politics by Raven, he finally gets the match he wants - a shot at the NWA World Title against AJ Styles this Wednesday night. Raven has talked the talk about fulfilling his destiny of becoming champion for over a year, and now he must back it up against the new face of wrestling - AJ Styles! On the other hand, Styles owes Raven some payback for the hell he's put him through in recent weeks, including the attack this past Wednesday! Who will walk out with the NWA World Title? Tune in and find out! BEST TWO OF THREE SERIES - MATCH 1 TO DETERMINE THE X CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER SONJAY DUTT vs. THE AMAZING RED This Wednesday night, The Amazing Red and Sonjay Dutt compete in the first of their best of three matches to determine a new number one contender to Frankie "The Future" Kazarian's X Division Title. Red has wanted the gold back since his return, and Sonjay left Team NWA to chase his title dreams. Who will ultimately advance to face Kazarian for the gold? Tune in and find out! WORLD X CUP PREVIEW MATCH TEAM NWA vs. TEAM CANADA Team NWA has momentum building for them as we head to the big May 26 World X Cup, as they beat - some called it an upset - Team Mexico this past week!

In a preview match of the World X Cup, Lynn and his crew will attempt to keep their winning streak going against Scott D'Amore's elite from the Great White North. LADIES ACTION! TRINITY vs. DESIRE Two of TNA's top femme fatales in Trinity and Desire competed with the men this past Wednesday night in a six man match, but the ladies want back at each other! Apparently, following Wednesday's broadcast, NWA officials signed Trinity to battle Desire this week in a rare TNA ladies match! Will their respective men - Siaki and Swinger - be at ringside as backup? Tune in and find out! THE NEW FRANCHISE COLLIDES! MICHAEL SHANE w/ Traci vs. THE FRANCHISE SHANE DOUGLAS What started out as a promising new group with a solid teacher/student foundation crumbled to pieces in recent weeks as the New Franchise came to odds. Now, this Wednesday night for the first time, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas will step foot into the ring against his cocky student Michael Shane, accompanied by the lovely Traci! The Franchise tried to teach the youngsters everything he knew - only to get attacked for his troubles! Now, The Franchise hopes to be the one dishing out a new lesson in pain! ERIK WATTS vs. THE MONSTER ABYSS Following Wednesday night's broadcast, the returning Erik Watts went to TNA officials and demanded a match against the monster Abyss this Wednesday night on Pay-Per-View! Claiming Goldylocks ruined his life, Watts came to TNA last Wednesday on a mission to confront Goldy, but got annihilated by the masked monster on the process! Now, it looks as if Watts will have to make his way through Abyss to prove his point to his former babe! ALSO ON THE SHOW: 3LIVE KRU, JAMES STORM, KID KASH, DALLAS, D'LO BROWN AND MANY MORE OF YOUR FAVORITE TNA SUPERSTARS!

So...for those that actually saw the show, thoughts? I skimmed through the results and it doesn't sound too hot. Is it worth getting a replay? Keep in mind my not ordering is not an indictment of the product but more legistics of my own situation. I'm at school with no PPV, so I either need to have it ordered and then sent by tape and watch a few days later, which is a hassle unless it's for a major show (I'm still waiting for Pride to get here!), or wait until I'm home for a weekend, which I won't be for a couple weeks. I probably would have ordered the show, coming off a hot last week. Anyway, thoughts?

This was posted once before and deleted.

Concur.

Can't take the heat, get out of the World Series....oh, well I guess so far, you kind of are this year!

That rumor was false http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bushwave.htm

And then be forced into releasing hundreds of them back into the streets again, just to get back the bodies of a few dead Israeli soliders? Fuck Hamas. If peace is to be attained Hamas and the other terrorists organizations operating as faux governments need to be destroyed. EDIT: Oh, and how thoughtless of me not to include a http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/myths/mftoc.html ISRAEL MYTH AND FACT OF THE DAY~!

In reply, to the original post, no one from management will tell Edge not to use the spear as a finisher because it's likely coming from management. When Goldberg was around they wanted him to stop using the Jackhammer and just use the spear as a finisher. He, smartly laughed at them and told them to fuck off, so I guess it's being passed down to Edge to use it instead of the Implant DDT.
