Does anyone think the refs favor their favorite team?

Nice sig I have to agree with her.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 11:09 AM) If I were coaching the team, I think I would have suspended him pending the outcome of the legal process. He wouldn't have benn on the bench. So we agree there. I'm not sure that sending hime to jail is a great idea. Really DUI, is equivalent to running around town randomly shooting a gun. Smith could have killed a bunch of people. I think the act should be punished accordingly, but I also think sending him to jail for a few years would be more likely to produce someone who will commit more serious criminal acts when released. I'd personally be in favor of yanking his license for 5 or more years, and thousands of hours of community service. In general, I'd like a lot stiffer penealties for DUI. Very hefty fines like in Japan would be good, maybe those could be used to finance some sort late night public transportation for drunks -- I don't know. The fact is that DUI enjoys broad bipartisan support in this country; both the current President and Ted Kennedy have done it repateadly and skated. I think it's clearly a problem that most people don't want to be severely punished because they have done it or think they will do it and don't want stiff penalties in place. Anyway, hopefully the legal system is wiser than I am, and comes up with a good solution. It isn't just the DUI, it is also leaving someone hurt in the car.

So the spokes person for YUM Brands issues a release talking about how important food safety and health. The dude is like 250 pounds.

QUOTE(mreye @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 10:47 AM) If Iraq's not already Vietnam the media will make sure it is by putting crap like this on during the war. Did we not learn anything? Exactly. We have to suspend freedom of speech when we are fighting a war. Never criticize the government. Damn hippy commies

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 10:03 AM) Now is not the time to dump Jamar. Now is the time to make sure he is ok. Make sure he understands the consequences of his actions. Make sure that, even though he effed up and effed up bad, he still has a support group around him. You turn your back on him now, and there's no telling what he might do. I do agree, however, he shouldn't have been on the bench. After you've all nailed him to the cross, has anyone thought about Jamar? Maybe he's realized what he's done and struggling with it. How would any of you like it if you screwed up and your entire support system turned its back on you? I'm not saying he shouldn't be kicked off the team. Or kicked out of school. I'm saying, NOT NOW! We aren't talking about a 29 year old who should know better. We're talking about a 19 year old that should know better but is still young and is going to make some horrible decisions. He should stand up to it like a man, but help him find his way. He will find a nice support system in jail. He doesn't need to be sitting on the bench.

Look in the middle of the pack for the likely nominee. The front runners never seem to make it two years. I still like McCain or Newt if Delay doesn't run.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2007 -> 06:33 AM) Who was the founding father that referred to the need for periodic revolution, and what was the context of that? John Lennon Revolution I am not certain what you are thinking, but Polybius's, The Histories speaks to that. That begets an old email campaign about the Republic is doomed when the citizens believe they can vote themselves gifts from the treasury, or stimulate the economy by taking from the public treasury more than is put in. Depends on your pov.

Is the free WiFi at Burger Kings nationwide?

I wonder if one of these is Nuke!?

The lack of morality and ethics in this situation saddens me. Universities should be above this and teaching students, and the public, the values they hold. I doubt for 99% of the students and faculty, they share in how this is being handled.

Wow. He was always a favorite of mine.

The money was for visual effect. Hey the boobs were fake, why not the money?

I'll bet he handled his hazing like a man

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 04:25 PM) If they can't get documents and access and have no subpoena power, there's very, very little they can do. Henry Waxman is probably the best in the business at turning FOIA requests into reports on how corrupt the one-party system was, but without the ability to compel the turning over of documents, there was only so much investigation that was possible. It's a shame on all sides that conditions were allowed to worsen to the point where they are now. But at least to my eyes, the buck stops at the people in charge, and those weren't on my side of the aisle. 6 months from now, when things like this get uncovered, then I'll think it's appropriate to blame the leadership for not doing their job and uncovering it, but I think this is a direct result of the fact that the previous Congress was adamantly opposed to doing any oversight on any issue that could hurt the President. The problems in the VA Hospitals go back a long time. Certainly to Clinton's term, actually all the way back to Johnson that I can think of. I just don't like hiding behind we're not in charge. B.S. if reporters can get the information, Congress can as well.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 03:59 PM) Dems have had power barely a month and a half and can only do so much so fast...at least they're attempting to act now that someone pointed out the problem. I gotta call a foul. Just because the Dems did not have a majority doesn't mean they were powerless. Just like I do not want the GOP to just sit back sucking their thumbs and allowing the Dems to do whatever they please. Bring forth legislation, investigate, continue to work for the people who elected you. I will continue to expect my Senators to work on behalf of the great state of Texas, even though they are the minority party.
