McCain seems to want to be able to write a blank check on anything Bush wants to do regarding the War, and then later act as if it was a bad idea, yet when it comes time for Bush to ask for something, here comes McCain as the biggest vocal supporter.

I watched a special on how Vegas is basically turning into a nightclub/resort city, and it is becoming less about gambling and more about partying. I guess they see the money in the 18-35 market, and figure a lot of them would rather drink and party and go clubbing over gambling. I have never been much for gambling, so it is sort of good, but then again the special also pointed out that a lot of the specials and free-bees are going away because a lot of that stuff was offered because you were losing all your money gambling, so if you aren't losing money there is no incentive to give away free stuff......

Some more brilliance from Mr. Gonzalez.... http://thinkprogress.org/2007/01/19/gonzales-habeas/ (C-SPAN transcript) SPECTER: Where you have the Constitution having an explicit provision that the writ of habeas corpus cannot be suspended except for rebellion or invasion, and you have the Supreme Court saying that habeas corpus rights apply to Guantanamo detainees — aliens in Guantanamo — after an elaborate discussion as to why, how can the statutory taking of habeas corpus — when there’s an express constitutional provision that it can’t be suspended, and an explicit Supreme Court holding that it applies to Guantanamo alien detainees. GONZALES: A couple things, Senator. I believe that the Supreme Court case you’re referring to dealt only with the statutory right to habeas, not the constitutional right to habeas. SPECTER: Well, you’re not right about that. It’s plain on its face they are talking about the constitutional right to habeas corpus. They talk about habeas corpus being guaranteed by the Constitution, except in cases of an invasion or rebellion. They talk about John Runningmeade and the Magna Carta and the doctrine being imbedded in the Constitution. GONZALES: Well, sir, the fact that they may have talked about the constitutional right to habeas doesn’t mean that the decision dealt with that constitutional right to habeas. SPECTER: When did you last read the case? GONZALES: It has been a while, but I’ll be happy to — I will go back and look at it. SPECTER: I looked at it yesterday and this morning again. GONZALES: I will go back and look at it. The fact that the Constitution — again, there is no express grant of habeas in the Constitution. There is a prohibition against taking it away. But it’s never been the case, and I’m not a Supreme — SPECTER: Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. The constitution says you can’t take it away, except in the case of rebellion or invasion. Doesn’t that mean you have the right of habeas corpus, unless there is an invasion or rebellion? GONZALES: I meant by that comment, the Constitution doesn’t say, “Every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right to habeas.” It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right of habeas corpus shall not be suspended except by — SPECTER: You may be treading on your interdiction and violating common sense, Mr. Attorney General. GONZALES: Um.

The video also showed that Monk was often blocking for the Running backs when they were scoring. Not to mention having the trio of Don Warren/Clint Diddier/Doc Walker at TE which I am sure took TD stats away from the WRs. Like I said, the Redskins were a run-oriented team, in a run-oriented era of the NFL. The game has changed, which is why I think it is unfair to compare Monk to WRs of the 90's and today. Of his era, Art Monk was probably the best, besides Jerry Rice, but again, you can't be punished for not being the Best of All Time. It's kind of like Dominique Wilkins in his prime vs. Jordan in his prime. 'Nique was usually always just behind Jordan in terms of scoring, but it isn't fair to punish Wilkins for not being as good as the best of all time.

Why was the Bam Bam Bigelow thread closed? Is it just closed so the mods can confirm it's legit? RIP Bam Bam.

Yeah, i thought Undercover Brother was underrated and kind of overlooked by the masses.

The Stopper of Show!

I am just like you(I'm Just a Human) Your Are Just Like Me(I'm Just a Human) We all stand or sit when we pee.(I'm Just a Human) Just a human being........

The only problem with the above scenarios is that the only people buying the PPV are likely people that WANT to see the disaster happen. I mean the people who NEED to see that type of scene are the WWE lemmings who can be influenced and kind of molded into people who might witness such a thing and then maybe carry a similar attitude over to WWE shows that they aren't enjoying live, and maybe might voice their displeasure. Imagine all the 20-30 somethings at the show, showing the next generation of rowdy teenage wrestling fans, what a live show experience COULD BE LIKE, before they all finally leave WWE programming for good....that would be a hell of a lot cooler then just a bunch of disgruntled ECW fans buying a show to watch other disgruntled ECW fans fuck it up......although yeah I guess it would still be a hell of a show regardless.

It is a common myth that Art Monk was not the best WR on his team. Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders(the other two members of "the posse") were Deep Threats. They had speed, which was valuable, but Art Monk moved the chains. He demanded the double-teams that left Sanders and Clark in one-on-one coverage. Art Monk is also undeservedly called a possession receiver, even though his career YPC is higher then Marvin Harrison, 13.5 Art Monk also played in an era where there was a lot more contact allowed by DB's and the man still caught everything thrown his way. Also, don't get me started about ProBowls, that is the single most overrated statistic out there. ProBowls are popularity contests. Art Monk was a quiet man on and off the field, he didn't put his mug in front of the camera every other day to get media coverage, in fact he was more likely to talk to the media when he had a bad game, then a good game. Art Monk also compiled his stats while playing on the same with with the Posse, and a coach who had a run-first offense. I think Art Monk unfairly gets compared to today's WR's because he played into the 90's. People want to put Monk's stats up against players that peaked 10-15 years after he retired, and that is bullshit. You use that player's career and stack it up against the players he played against in his era. Also, I'm not sure who what Wide Receiver that is eligible right now that was better then Monk. Andre Reed? No. Henry Ellard? No. Michael Irvin? Close....probably the 90's version of Art Monk, but no. Michael Irvin to me is the closest I can think of that was almost a clone of Art Monk who came after Monk's generation, but I believe in career stats Irvin only has the edge in one category. Another thing that hurts Monk, is he doesn't have "That one catch" that defines his career. Of course, that is the most ludicrous statement of all, because a HOF career should not be made on a single catch. A single catch, like say for Lynn Swann should not elevate lackluster stats into a HOF Career. Leena, I don't question your knowledge of sports what-so-ever overall, you usually make sound and just arguments, but your own questions and answer session SCREAMS of someone who didn't see much of Art Monk actually play and rather is just looking at a stat sheet(which even then shows he has the stats to be in the HOF). When you listen to guys like Bill Parcells, Ronnie Lott, Joe Gibbs, Theismann, Al Michaels etc....talk about Monk, it shows that they witnessed Greatness and they knew it. If you want to witness further evidence for Art Monk in the hall, and trust me you should......watch this video: http://www.monk4thehall.com/

That picture reminds me of that movie "Fear of a Black Hat" when the rival rap groups are talking to the kindergarden class about why violence is bad, and they flip it start trying to brag about being "hard" so the one guy pulls a picture out of the rival guy's highschool photo page, and he is in a prep school, kicking back as a preppie with the sweater tied around the neck and all that stuff....lol. Either that, or he kind of looks like an african-american John Travolta ready to go to the local disco to dance to the BeeGees.....

It's not the extreme gimmicks in the matches I am worried about, rather the fact that these matches look like they are going to be about 2 mins long a piece, meaning either: A) each match will be 90 seconds of transitional manuevers/holds setting up a huge spot Or B) each match will be 2 mins of non-stop high spots where each guy should be finished after each move, but has to basically no-sell everything in order to hurry up and get in place for the next big spot of the match

Gonzales warns judges not to meddle (01-18) 04:00 PST Washington -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Wednesday warned federal judges not to meddle in cases involving national security, following a string of judicial rebukes of the Bush administration's anti-terrorism initiatives. In a speech to the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute, Gonzales said federal judges are not "equipped to make decisions about" actions the president takes in the name of preserving national security. "A judge will never be in the position to know what is in the national security interest of the country," Gonzales said. Gonzales added that the judiciary should show deference to the executive branch when national security is involved, because, unlike the Bush administration, judges "don't have embassies around the world gathering up information." "I try to imagine myself being a judge," Gonzales said. "What do I know about what is going on in Afghanistan or Guantanamo?" "How are judges supposed to gather up the information, the collective wisdom of the entire executive branch ... and make a determination as to what is in the national security interest of our country?" Gonzales asked. "They're not capable of doing that." Gonzales' speech came as the White House reversed course on a controversial, five-year-old warrantless surveillance program and agreed to allow a secret foreign intelligence court to review the initiative. The Justice Department announcement came on the eve of hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee when the Democratic leadership of the panel was expected to quiz Gonzales about the program. Since October 2001, President Bush had authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on international phone calls that originate or end overseas without first getting warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, as required by a 1978 law that made the panel the "exclusive means" for approving foreign surveillance. -------------------- Sounds like another attempt at Unilateral Power.

Someone told me once that once your car overheats, it usually breaks the gauge, and you have to have the gauge replaced.... Is this true at all? I went through a car that over-heated and a head-basket blew....bye bye car. And the shitty thing is, it happened out of nowhere. I had never had a single problem with it over-heating EVER, always had fluids filled, and then ONE FUCKING DAY I am driving and all of the sudden the temp gauge goes off the chart, I pull over.....GOODBYE FORD ESCORT!!!

You know, that's what the show needs - Barkley or Brett Hull or some other person who doesn't have that filter censoring their thoughts as a guest judge. We know Simon says what he says in order to get a reaction. A guy like Barkley, I think, really doesn't care. On a bit of a tangent, there was an interview with Randy Jackson where he called Idol the "real" reality television. Which as we all know, is bullshit (what with reality competitions having only a tenuous connection to reality and all). To me, the process of selecting an American Idol is like All-Star game voting on crack. People vote in droves for their favourites, often irrespective of how well they've performed. And they do it again. And again. And again. And yet, I still watch. Although not until they actually start doing some bad American karaoke. If American Idol was "real" reality tv, they would delve into the contracts they make people sign. And Charles Barkley hates American Idol, I don't think he would ever participate in the show. Hell I barely watch it, but I live in a household that enjoys the first couple of shows. My girlfriend told me "the first round may be full of comedy, but Round 2 is where the real joke begins" because she feels it is a joke that karaoke participants are rewarded with record contracts.

The thing is, if they didn't air the shitty people, then I am sure half of them wouldn't even show up. It almost seems like you have a better chance to get on TV for being one of the WORST, rather then merely being good enough to get to Hollywood.....like they will show 10 bad people in a row, and then right before a commercial they will say..."after today a total of 15 people were chosen for hollywood" and just kind of show them with the yellow paper.... Of course, like Charles Barkley said, the entire show from beginning to end is basically one big giant episode of bad american karaoke.

It was kind of weird because when the judges were eating, they seemed to love Marcel's dish, but when it come to the judgement table, they seemed to like his the least...(well besides Cliff who was already gone anyway)

Right. Bush didn't want to come out and say it, but the truth is, some of the surge will be coming from troops that are SUPPOSED to be done and coming home, instead they will be told they are going BACK.
