Mizzou vs. vandy...me and my gf have bets on this as it's our respective schools. I hope mizzou's strength (causing TOs) can dominate Vandy's weakness (TO's)

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) lol. You know I like you. But you're pretty naive. I ain't sacrificing no coin for nobody. I can't expect anybody else to. pretty much.

Elizabeth Edwards Dies
"Not to speak ill of the dead, but she has come off as having quite a few issues of her own from what I have read. Not necessarily just the victim most people think. " "Read game change" I find it incredibly shallow to bring your opinion based off one mark halperin book to act like you know more about her than the rest of us who are sad she passed. We all read the book.

Elizabeth Edwards Dies
If you are using Game Change to paint your whole view of this person I find that kind of sad. They gave inside stories on really tense moments specifically on the campaign. I guess that drowns out all the personal work she did for so much good. Because she swore at people who weren't doing a good job on the campaign.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (Soxy @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) And now, for the most disturbing "trend" I've heard about in, oh, a million years: stay at home daughters. Man, I wish someone could just take these women into a different environment and show them just how strong and amazing they can be for a week, and see if they go back.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 04:42 AM) A lot more satisfying if he can also get START and or DADT. I really hope that people weren't holding back a yes vote for repealing DADT to get tax cuts. "Gays in the military will be the end of our dominance as we know it, everyone will be distracted by everyone being gay all the time, gay gay, oh tax cuts? They're alright."

I really don't think that call was questionable. A blow that hard to the head is clearly done to injure someone. The league is trying to have less of that.

Tea Party Libertarians complaining of co-opting
I didn't get to read the whole thread, it seems to have taken a different turn. But did anyone hear the election week this american life where they examined a tea party group in Michigan. It was very interesting. I'll try to look for it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 06:20 AM) NIU is my second favorite college team (going to Mizzou next year, so it takes top spot, but both parents went to NIU and it was my fall back school). I was at the NIU - U of I game and NIU almost won that game, so I think they could beat U of I in a bowl game. If only they had a bigger stadium, the Big 12 might ask for them to join. no we wouldn't.

Bush's Book
QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) I'm like 2K5, I'm not into reading politicians' memoirs, even the ones I like. However there's a couple of exceptions - Al Franken's books (Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and The Truth With Jokes) because he's hilarious and he wrote those before he became a senator, and Robert Wexler's Fire Breathing Liberal because it's actually pretty educational, and it's more "what it's like being a Democratic Congressman" than it is a polemic. You should read Grant's memoir.

Public vs. Private
QUOTE (beckham15 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 03:22 AM) privatizing social security would be nice but figuring out a successful way to do it w/out screwing over the people who have put into it all these years and are collecting it now would be the issue i would have with it oneway would be to move over their money to more secure bonds the closer they get to retirement age so they are less averse to risk.

10 Steps to Defeat Boehner
QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) i was trying to make a point and got carried away. I know...i just think the "you shouldn't worry about how much taxes are b/c it's not that much" thing is just way too personal. But perhaps my ways are way too wonky.
