Murtha may have been the most corrupt politician in Washington. God have mercy on his soul!

He's going to hang up his cleats and open a bakery ... specializing in: You guessed it Turnovers!!!!! :rofl: :rock: :rofl: :rock: :rofl:

The Tea Party movement needs to take control of the Republican party, not form a third party. A third party wouldl only divide the votes between the third party and the Republicans ... practically guaranteeing a Dimocrat victory.

Garrison has never been even close to 3A. In fact, they have been one of the smallest 2A schools in the state for a very long time.

Joe's Crab Shack is the most over rated excuse for a seafood restaurant I have ever experienced. I have tried several (only the first time was as a willing participant) and can't stand the place!

As long as they are approved by the PGA and USGA, he should be able to use them. If the PGA and USGA don't want to allow them, they can change the rules. The rest of the players can use them if they want to. Simple.

At least we won't have the larger enrollment schools getting into the small school brackets anymore. I like the change personally.

My all time most over rated QB is Dan Marino. Great statistics, great passer, long career ... he was never a great quarterback, just a great timing passer. Under pressure he was very ordinary. He almost always came up short and disappointing in the really big games.

Archie Manning played his whole career with one of the sorriest teams in History. There is no telling how good he could have been if he played elsewhere with a better team.

I put the primary blame for the Vikings loss squarely on Bret Favre. He should have ran for as much yardage as he could (at least 5-10 yards) and given his field goal kicker a chance to win the game with a medium range field goal. How many times has he blown games throwing into coverage and getting intercepted late in games? Too many to count. I like Favre, but he cost them a shot at the win by trying to be a hero.

Buffett Says He Can’t See Rationale for Bank Levy By Andrew Frye, Betty Liu and Jamie McGee Jan. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett opposes President Barack Obama’s proposed levy on financial institutions because firms including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. already repaid bailout funds. “I don’t see any reason why they should be paying a special tax,” said Buffett, the chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., in an interview on Bloomberg Television today. Supporters of the plan to tax the banks “are trying to punish people,” he said. “I don’t see the rationale for it.” Obama announced a plan last week to impose a fee on as many as 50 financial companies to recover losses from the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program. The levy would apply to firms with more than $50 billion in assets, including Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, two companies that Berkshire has investments in. It would exclude Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored mortgage lenders taken over by the U.S. “Look at the damage Fannie and Freddie caused, and they were run by the Congress,” said Buffett. “Should they have a special tax on congressmen because they let this thing happen to Freddie and Fannie? I don’t think so.” Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and other beneficiaries of the bailout such as Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. repaid the money they got from the government. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac owe about $110 billion, according to Bloomberg data. Unnecessary Rescue “Most of the banks didn’t need to be saved,” Buffett said. “Including Wells Fargo.” Before the U.S. Congress approved the bailout in 2008, Buffett, 79, said he was making a $5 billion investment in Goldman Sachs because he expected the government to rescue financial companies. “If I didn’t think the government was going to act, I would not be doing anything this week,” he said on cable network CNBC the day after announcing the Goldman Sachs investment in September 2008. “I might be trying to undo things this week. I am, to some extent, betting on the fact that the government will do the rational thing here and act promptly.” Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, 55, was among bank executives who testified last week to a panel created by Congress to examine the causes of the economic collapse that roiled global markets. Blankfein defended his bank, the world’s most profitable securities firm, against criticisms that the mortgage securities it sold helped trigger the meltdown. Buffett Praises Blankfein Buffett said in a separate interview with Bloomberg today that Blankfein “has been the right man” to lead the company. “I don’t think anybody could have done a better job at Goldman Sachs than Lloyd Blankfein,” Buffett said. “I give him enormous credit for how he’s run Goldman. You’ve got to expect vilification of banks.” Obama and the U.S. Congress are tapping into voter anger that the government bailout may be followed by record Wall Street bonuses as the country struggles with a 10 percent unemployment rate. The president’s proposed tax would be imposed on firms including bank holding companies and some insurers. The administration estimates the tax will raise $90 billion over 10 years and $117 billion over 12 years. “My determination to achieve this goal is only heightened when I see reports of massive profits and obscene bonuses at some of the very firms who owe their continued existence to the American people,” Obama said Jan. 14 when he announced the Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee. “We want our money back, and we’re going to get it.” Buffett held a fundraiser for Obama and advised the future president on economic issues during his campaign. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=new...id=aPdhurDmpnhE

I think the Viks take this one ... by 10

You're kidding, right ... example of an MVP? :bangin: :w00t: :rofl: Maybe you really mean Favre.

When Hollweird and Massachusetts is against the liberal agenda, you know it's got to be bad. That said, Alec Baldwin has never been the sharpest tack in the box! :w00t:

If it weren't for Republicans, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would never have passed. It was opposed and vote against by Al Gore Sr. and other prominent democrats. Sen Robert Byrd even led a filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 at the time.

WHY MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS A REPUBLICAN by Frances Rice 08/16/2006 It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s. During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military. Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to effectively end segregation in the military. Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr. And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King. In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King's leaving Memphis, Tenn., after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd (W.Va.), a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Given the circumstances of that era, it is understandable why Dr. King was a Republican. It was the Republicans who fought to free blacks from slavery and amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Republicans passed the civil rights laws of the 1860s, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 that was designed to establish a new government system in the Democrat-controlled South, one that was fair to blacks. Republicans also started the NAACP and affirmative action with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan (crafted by black Republican Art Fletcher) that set the nation's fist goals and timetables. Although affirmative action now has been turned by the Democrats into an unfair quota system, affirmative action was begun by Nixon to counter the harm caused to blacks when Democrat President Woodrow Wilson in 1912 kicked all of the blacks out of federal government jobs. Few black Americans know that it was Republicans who founded the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Unknown also is the fact that Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen from Illinois was key to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960, 1964 and 1965. Not mentioned in recent media stories about extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act is the fact that Dirksen wrote the language for the bill. Dirksen also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing. President Lyndon Johnson could not have achieved passage of civil rights legislation without the support of Republicans. Critics of Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater, who ran for President against Johnson in 1964, ignore the fact that Goldwater wanted to force the Democrats in the South to stop passing discriminatory laws and thus end the need to continuously enact federal civil rights legislation. Those who wrongly criticize Goldwater also ignore the fact that Johnson, in his 4,500 State of the Union Address delivered on Jan. 4, 1965, mentioned scores of topics for federal action, but only 35 words were devoted to civil rights. He did not mention one word about voting rights. Then in 1967, showing his anger with Dr. King's protest against the Vietnam War, Johnson referred to Dr. King as "that ### preacher." Contrary to the false assertions by Democrats, the racist "Dixiecrats" did not all migrate to the Republican Party. "Dixiecrats" declared that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than vote for a Republican because the Republican Party was know as the party for blacks. Today, some of those "Dixiecrats" continue their political careers as Democrats, including Robert Byrd, who is well known for having been a "Keagle" in the Ku Klux Klan. Another former "Dixiecrat" is former Democrat Sen. Ernest Hollings, who put up the Confederate flag over the state Capitol when he was the governor of South Carolina. There was no public outcry when Democrat Sen. Christopher Dodd praised Byrd as someone who would have been "a great senator for any moment," including the Civil War. Yet Democrats denounced then-Senate GOP leader Trent Lott for his remarks about Sen. Strom Thurmond (R.-S.C.). Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan and defended blacks against lynching and the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats. If Byrd and Thurmond were alive during the Civil War, and Byrd had his way, Thurmond would have been lynched. The 30-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party began in the 1970s with President Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy," which was an effort on the part of Nixon to get Christians in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were still discriminating against their fellow Christians who happened to be black. Georgia did not switch until 2002, and some Southern states, including Louisiana, are still controlled by Democrats. Today, Democrats, in pursuit of their socialist agenda, are fighting to keep blacks poor, angry and voting for Democrats. Examples of how egregiously Democrats act to keep blacks in poverty are numerous. After wrongly convincing black Americans that a minimum wage increase was a good thing, the Democrats on August 3 kept their promise and killed the minimum wage bill passed by House Republicans on July 29. The blockage of the minimum wage bill was the second time in as many years that Democrats stuck a legislative finger in the eye of black Americans. Senate Democrats on April 1, 2004, blocked passage of a bill to renew the 1996 welfare reform law that was pushed by Republicans and vetoed twice by President Clinton before he finally signed it. Since the welfare reform law expired in September 2002, Congress had passed six extensions, and the latest expired on June 30, 2004. Opposed by the Democrats are school choice opportunity scholarships that would help black children get out of failing schools and Social Security reform, even though blacks on average lose $10,000 in the current system because of a shorter life expectancy than whites (72.2 years for blacks vs. 77.5 years for whites). Democrats have been running our inner-cities for the past 30 to 40 years, and blacks are still complaining about the same problems. More than $7 trillion dollars have been spent on poverty programs since Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty with little, if any, impact on poverty. Diabolically, every election cycle, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner-cities, then incite blacks to cast a protest vote against Republicans. In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats. We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity. http://www.nationalblackrepublicans.com/MLKWasARepublican

One puppet is as good as the next. Jerry will keep Wade around another year or two.

Yep, Tony Turnover is back in stride! :w00t: The Cowboys should have gone for the 1st down on 4th and 1 on their 2nd possession instead of trying that field goal. They won't get many chances to score TDs. They can't afford to try more field goals, they have got to score TDs.

Can you say .... Death Penalty? :w00t:

I wonder how many of their recruits will jump ship because of all this. Hopefully, most of them!

The Reggie Bush violations should have never dragged out this long. How long has he been the NFL, 4 years?
