Liberal Media
Interesting that the right would be worried about the NY Times when every major media talk show is conservative. I find most of the network news too conservative for me, you find them too liberal, well maybe they are down the middle? Nuke, if you agreed with them then wouldn't they be conservative? And tell me with all those popular shows, with none on the liberal side, can the GOP, with a straight face, complain about a liberal bias in the Media? Or is Rush, Hannity, etc. just entertainers and not offering facts and analysis? Cry me a river that there is too much liberal reporting. The GOP takes a selected quote, passes it too their ditto head media analysis and spentd hours giving their slanted opinions on a 2 minute report.

More hockey madness
And football and baseball fans don't? I guess hockey doesn't attract the main stream sports fan or we should be arguing hockey has it right and we need to have more fighting in baseball, basketball, and football. Or can those sports attract fans without the fighting?

From moochpuppy I know I should not be laughing, but each time I scrolled past that line, I laughed. My bad.

More hockey madness
LOL, they play clips of s*** they think sound good. Thankfully they dropped the local show. The producer actually bribed me with a t-shirt one day to go on the air and help out the host who was bombarded with less informed callers than normal. Believe it or don't; Mike and Mike is an improvement over that local show. Not the hosts fault but a call in show with drunk winter Texans and worse does not make great entertainment.

McCain threatens MLB on drugs
Do we really need congress involved in this? Why not turn them over to the police for criminal charges? Why not do the right thing and suspend these guys immediately? Oh yeah 70 home runs puts asses in the seats to buy $5.50 beers. How silly of me to even think the integrity of the game means anything to the players, owners, or the league.

More hockey madness
damn you, if you keep replying to all my postsm, I'll never have as many posts as you I'm hearing a number of hockey commentators saying 1. It was an accident. Looked worse than what it was. He tugged on his sweater a couple times to instigate the fight. The fall wasn't in his control. 2. He'll be back for the playoffs. I only get bits and pieces down here. With a local team now, I hear more coverage but not enough to get a decent feel.

More hockey madness
How could hockey survive without this excitement? If he is allowed to play anytime this season, I will never watch NHL hockey again. I hate seeing a game I love turn into the f*cking roller derby or WWF. If a fan did that, we would be screaming they be sent to jail for 5 years. There are too many no talent goons allowed to play in the league. Take away fighting and you will see some excellent clean hits, like in football. It's BS to think that a game cannot be physical without fighting. look at golf oops I mean football. And if anyone disagrees with me I'll come there and kick 100% of their ass

Inflaming the right and the left
IIRC the military was in a state of low morale during the Clinton years because Billy wasn't a military man, his personal short falls, etc. Now we have Bush, and if reports are to believed, suicide and alchoholism have increased with our military men and women. Could it be the President really doesn't have much effect on this? Liberal media making s*** up? Too high expectations with W? No WMD? Not enough people to shoot? Vast right wing conspiracy? I tend to believe the President does not have as much impact on our soldiers as the vast right wing conspiracy and the liberal media would have us believe.

Damn, I sure would like to know how the young woman sitting across from me would answer that I am beginning to see why the public internet access area here is so popular. Toss in a couple wide screens and a bar and I might never leave.

More hockey madness
When hockey allows and even encourages fighting, it is admitting defeat as a sport. It must believe that hockey is not exciting enough to attract fans without 5 minute intermissions for a fight. I don't like hockey games that turn into Tyson on Ice

Kerry/McCain 2004?
I assume he would have to run as a Democrat or else it would be chaos in the event Kerry died or was removed from office. McCain would also have to caucus with the Dems. I would have been a lot closer to voting for Bush of he had made a switch of VP running mates. He may be making the same mistake Bush the first made. I was just signing a song

On-Line Bible Study
How many here read Psalms regularly? I just started a couple years ago, and with the correct translation, they are very good. This is one area that I believe a less literal translation is prefered.

Stages of Acceptance to Change
I am looking for a resource do discuss the stages of acceptance of change in an non scietific context. I am tasked with a presentation on slave narratives and have decided to discuss the stages that a slave might have gone through. Some accepted slavery and didn't try an escape. Some were unhappy and decided to do something (but what? A stage of discovery and planning), and finally action. Is there as pop-psych book out there that discusses this behavior. It is for a Autobiographical Literature class so it need not be a scholarly or scientific work. However, scientific would be prefered.

Interesting you felt controlled choas is a guy, for some reason I thought a woman. The more I read the threads, you are probably correct. Not that it makes a difference.
