  1. VPI to the SEC: 0.0% chance. Does not fit geographically or culturally.
  2. So your argument is, "everything old is new again"? Don't take this the wrong way, but UM is probably the best job, in the ACC.
  3. Except for the "former players", these factors were all the same in the early 1980's when Shellenberger, then Jimmy Johnson, put together some of the greatest college teams of all time.
  4. Just overflowed the toilet at the doctors office! Eacaped back into the waiting room. More to follow...............
  5. More like "once in a lifetime"...............same as it ever was........same as it ever was............
  6. Didn't Senator Manchin offer an admendment to the House bill that prevents Congress from receiving their pay?
  7. Makes perfect sense when your voting base are bums and welfare queens! Coupled with the fact that military personnel vote overwhelmingly Republican. No matter what the House passes the President will threaten a veto, and stand on feigned indigence complaining about the "most vulnerable in society" while ingnoring a group that's not going to vote for him in 2012 anyway.
  8. Offshoot of Clower-Piven, no real suprise here.
  9. 2005. Bought a new house and painted said house. Moved all belongings. Painted old house to put on the market. Still don't have the urge to paint anything.
  10. I have never made any statement nor have I inferred anything about Sharia law. What I said is that we blunder when we try to force our believes and world view on others. I couldn't disagree more. Please opine on post WWII German and Japan? To stay on the original post topic, the U.S. need a concise, specific strategy for the EXCLUSION of agents of radical islamization, post Mubarik (sp?)
  11. His removal bought the West 20 years of cheap oil at what expense? That would be 30 years of Islamic law in Iran and all that it has come to mean for world stability. The Citizens of Israel, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza would, I imagine, dispute your delibrate attempt to ignore the presence of Hamas and Hezbulla (sp?) in this so called stabilty. Not to mention the Republican Guards involvements in subverting our attempts to liberate and democratize Iraq. You cannot, Cannot, CANNOT, tell me you really think Sharia law is a stabilizing force, and keep a straight face.
  12. "As for Iran, a quick study of World History will lead you to understand that one was destined to fail. Britain put the Shah's father in power to protect British Petroleum. When he was overthrown, the CIA ended up ousting a popular leader and putting the Shah in power. (And folks wonder why the Muslim World hates the US and Britain.)" Mossadeq was a quasi-communist who was determined to nationalize Iranian oil fileds. His removal benifited the United States and our allies at that time. As for your quip about hatred for the U.S. and Britain. No Arab or Muslim nation "hated" us, with the exception of Libya, while the specter of the Soviet Union loomed over all of south Asia.
  13. "Or could it be that Egyptian like the Tunisians are fed up with a billionaire dictator who has gotten rich while suppressing his people. " Not about dictatorship, the uprising in Egypt is about food prices. http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/01/america_and_the_middle_east_fo.html Obama is the poster child of rigid thinking in an ever changing world. He does not understand that his sophmoric solutions encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely, a small change at one place in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. I doubt that the man even understands that Mubarak is, for good or ill, our ally, and a stabilizing force in the caldron of insanity that is the Mulsim world.
  14. Jimmy Carter only lost one ally in Iran, Obama is on the verge of losing at the entire middle east. I guess someone from the State Deptartment should call Israel and inform them that non stop war with Islamist Egypt is coming. I guess Obama's speech in Cairo two years ago had the desired effect.
  15. 1. Rent a pickup truck 2. Shovel snow into the bed of the truck. 3. Drive to Mr. Gonzalez's home. 4. Off load snow into Gonzalez yard. 5. Rinse and Repeat as necessary.
  16. Last night's glaring difference bewteen the two teams was one thing, the line play and control of the line of scrimmage, period.
  17. Negative. Spending on the war is for the DEFENSE OF THE REPUBLIC! Spending for transportation, upkeep on roads and rails is legitimate budgetary line items, in my estimation. The EPA, Housing and Urban Development, the Deptartment of Education, the Deptartment of Agriculture, the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Communications Commission and various other "alphabet agencies" of the excutive branch need to have thier budgets reduced by twenty five to forty percent to start. TO START! After, and only after the regultory capabilities of some of these bureaucracies have been strangled, can we examine the federal budget in more detail.
  18. Quoted from the LA Times article, page 1. Chilhowie has lived through several cycles of industrial boom and bust. Situated in the Great Valley of the Appalachians, near the point where Virginia bumps up against North Carolina and Tennessee, its first big employer was Virginia Paving & Sewer Pipe Co., which shipped its bricks "from Lynchburg to London" until its vein of clay ran out in 1910. Chilhowie Lumber Co. had its run too, supplying logs to build the Panama Canal before bankruptcy intervened. So companies went out of business before globalization? I'm shocked.....shocked I say!
  19. The only mistake the Suckeyes' players made was that they didn't let thier fathers sell their autographs and hide the proceeds in the father's parish church, like $cam Newton. Go Gators!
  20. Why do you ask? Do you disagree with my analysis of the video?
