More like an attempt at humor. And he's not a communist, but in terms of "American" politics his socialisim meter is definitely in the red. Hmmmm no pun intended there.

News flash everyone, 50% of Americans do not like Barack Obama and want him gone in 2012. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_con...l_index_history I know I voted against him and sure as hell will vote against him in 2012 no matter who runs. He, and the political philosophy he represents, scares the heck out of me.

Thats not fair. You're going to have to throw in a few cases of Bass and all of the players from the Manchester United for our World Cup team.

Nah, Brits are always cool. Heck we're not even pissed at the French anymore since Sarkozy came along. Canada is ok because if they get out of line we'll just take another one of their hockey teams away. No one has anything against Scandinavians, Aussies, or Kiwis either. Would that the reverse were true...

Now reading The Good Soldiers by David Finkel. Excellent book following the lives of the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion 16th Infantry through the surge and beyond. Facisnating reading, once again reminding me how much the efforts and sacrifices by the military go unnoticed and unappreciated by those who have never lifted a finger for their country.

Come to that we have also yet to see one that proves he's an American. Yes we have. What do God and Barack Obama have in common? Neither has a birth certificate! What's the difference between God and Barack Obama? God doesen't think He's Barack Obama! I got a million of em..... If you can't laugh at arrogant, naccissistic, self important and utterly humorless dirt bags like Obama who can you laugh at? *For the record, I am not a "Birther" I'm sure if he really was born in Kenya Hillary Clinton would have founf the proof and gleefully exposed it during the campaign*

Anyone want to make a bet that Brady Quinn finishes the year in Washington? Also the Buccaneers are getting that elusive first win this weekend, I can feel it!

I think you should go to Millington Tennessee. Check out some of the local bars... make sure you tell them how much the USA sucks while you there, I'm sure they would love to hear your thoughts on it...

Had to get that one in, could not resist.

Modesty and humility are praiseworthy traits in anyone and they certianly contruibute to someone'e "nice guy/girl" rating. However, they have no place in self assesments. We had those in my last job and I always hated it because it was like management saying "I have no idea who you are or what you do". However, you need to look at your self assesment in the same light as your resume. Only instead of getting a job you are trying to keep one, or advance in one. Sometimes doing either means outshining those people working right next to you. In my line of work my co-workers are not just people I work with but competitors for jobs and promotions and especially surviving the inevitable downsizing. You have worked hard to get where you are. Don't hesitate a moment to show it off. Don't embellish obviously but don't hold back either.

Here is a juicy little nugget, just days after winning the Nobel Peace Prize Obama orders the escalation of the war in Afghanistan: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...?nav%3Dhcmodule I can't help but laugh at how quietly this was done. No press release or any announcment. I guess he didn't want thoses old birds on the Nobel comittee to find out. Also this is good stuff: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/13...er-buster-fast/ Hmmm, this thing has been in development for five years and Iran has just been caught with an ultra-secret underground weapons plant. Whats the rush Obama? Not planning any bombing missons are you? Those Nobel guys won't like that! Nor will all of the spineless little limp wristed liberals who think Iran will just give up their nuclear ambitions if we're just "nice" to them. *Note to all, please do not read any endorsement or derision of Obama or what he might do in this post. Irony is definitely my favorite typoe of humor and this was just too good.*

This weeks results: GD: 10-4 Volo: 9-5 Kelverin: 9-5 Enoch: 9-5 Season Standings: Volo: 57-19 GD: 52-24 Kelverin: 49-27 Enoch: 46-30

Good call on the 'Fins. That was a hell of a finish last night. Has there ever been a Dolphins - Jets game that was not fun to watch? Not too many. What a game.

A little too close to dog for me...

Not justified, different from what we were discussing.

I know I'm going to regret this because engaging you in any serious discussion is the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience, but I betting you would be one of the ones to argue that the attack on Pearl Harbor was justified. I'm curious, do you think Nixon would have been justified in attacking OPEC nations in 1973? Or would Carter have been justified for attacking Iran in 1979? ... or Bush for attacking Iraq in 2003. *Ba-dum Tish* Apples and Oranges and you know it.

Is anyone else surprised the Cards had so little bite to them? BTW, can nayone lend me $845,000,000? I'd like to buy the Cubs.

There is only one flaw to your plan, what possible need do the French have for soap?

Yep, in the midst of a shooting war precipitated by an unprovoked attack that was followed by invasions of US soil, invasions and subjegation of allies, and attacks on US interests all over the world. Just in case you happened to forget that little nugget. And you had better beleive I believe it. I pray I am wrong, but I don't think I will be. It dosen't matter anyway. If it's going to happen it's going to happen. No one will stop it. The current regime in Iran has an apoclyptic bent and they probably believe giving a weapon to terrorists will insulate them from reprisals. I have real doubts that if they did do it the the world would get on board for military action anyway. I don't mean to take this thread OT so respond if you like but I'm dropping it here.

I'm going to blow your mind: Everything that Obama's doing, he isn't doing out of cowardice or a desire to be liked. He is doing it because he wants to. Every choice he has made has been his choice, made not on bland squeamishness but instead on lack of character. This is the first thing you have ever posted that actually makes sense. And I understand I missed out on a pretty insulting post from you. Too bad. Personal attacks are always fun and usually come from someone who has nothing intelligent to say. And you were correct having not served in the military does not mean you cannot form an opinion on the military. However, it does mean your opinion is a little uninformed.

On what MC said, I read an article yesterday that made the case the award should have beedn conferred on a nuclear weapon because they have done more to keep peace than any one man. But Russias promise not to veto or their at best tepid support for sanctions carried little worth. China will still veto and there is nothing to buy them off with. Besides, if the Middle East explodes in war, Russia becomes the richest and most influential country in the world becaue it will have the most oil and the means to deliver it. Once Iran has a nuclear weapon is there any doubt in anyones mind they will give one to Hamas, Al Qaida, some one of that ilk? The day they have one more weapon than India, Pakistan or Israel, is the day a weapon detonates in Tel Aviv or Washington DC, or New York, or London, or somewhere. It's a good as done because no one is willing to stop it.

At a quick glance if Miami wins tonight I win for the week with 4 wrong and everyone else ties at six. If the Jets win we all tie at five.
