I used to be on the ban guns side of this issue when I was younger and Clinton was president. As more and more comes out about this administration and their distaste of individual liberties I start to wonder if I shouldn't get one.

See Woody Allen's screed in ANNIE HALL when he's at the high-minded party and sneaks off to the bedroom to watch the Knicks game.

Also, yes guns or no guns, can we all agree that maybe college students shouldn't be able to buy ones that can spit out 30 rounds in a minute and a half?

Chicago v. New Jersey

Cleveland v. Milwalkee

Bulls win and they can avoid Miami and Detriot until the conference finals.

Please Tyrus Thomas, posterize Vince Carter tonight.

we posted at the same time. didn't mean to repeat.

"Summer Babe" you Rolling Stone dolts! You know how many bands that started?

Being an atheist and a sports fan is difficult with the constant invocations of god and his will head-butting you at every turn. It would be like if god was always being mentioned in politics and in the news. Crazy.

Fisher does seem like a geniune dude. How can you not root for the guy? Too bad he plays for the Jazz in Mormon country. Al Sharpton told me their god isn't real so their prayers don't count. So I guess the Warriors are going to win the series.

What's so difficult??

See: any postgame interview with any sports player ever.

The Spurs have been hammering Nash, their undisputed team leader, for the better part of four games, and it's naive to think his big men aren't going to come to his aid when some Big Shot (at ruining a legacy) Bob plants him into the scorer's table with 18 seconds left in an already decided game.

Nash is not a big man. Nash is the most valuable person on the team. Of course WHO is involved matters.

the next time a Democrat lectures me about "wasting my vote" on a third party.

Idiots. IT'S NOT EVEN A RISKY MOVE ANYMORE!!

we could tie all the Dem "leaders" down in a chair and make them read this letters section.

"I'm one of those who doesn't like to see the Christmas goods put in the stores right after Halloween. I don't think Americans are well served by having an endless campaign."

That's a great line. And it's HIS, not some campaign writer's (Maybe it is, but it doesn't feel like it).

He would win without a doubt. Tree-hugger bashing isn't quite as hip in the South as it used to be.

I concur. . . but history's not on his side: ((From http://www.nicholaswhyte.info/presbeards.htm: The Democrats have never had a properly bearded candidate; the only successful Democrat who even went as far as a moustache was Grover Cleveland, who won the popular vote three times running in 1884, 1888 and 1892. (Cleveland lost the electoral college in 1888 to Benjamin Harrison, so far the last American President with a proper beard.))

Funny how Joan sounds exactly like Keith in this article . . . when Keith is talking about the NY Yankees. He's a Yankee apologist because he's a die-hard fan. I know the democrats are your "team," but the amount of rationalization in this article is ridiculous. And the Dems used to be my "team" too, when I was a child.

Really good read. Or the Democratic congress could just follow the Feingold First Policy, wherein whatever Feingold suggests is probably the truest and most honorable action and other congressional Democrats much rally around the idea.

was against dangerous senility before he was for it.

Bush got re-elected!

Thanks Buckeyes!

This administration even fucks up at fascism.

I guess Cheney wrote some really tough questions for Timmeh to read to Richardson. Can we impeach Russert? He's shown he's a partisan hack who sold all credibility down the river because he was a scared widdle teevee journalist and didn't want his precious "access" taken away.

Sorry, but fuck him and anything he has to say. And he can shove that cornball book about his father up his ass too.

I don't think the Shield comes across as pro-war on drugs at all? How are you reading that? I'm seriously just curious, not trying to flame you or anything.

In other news, give Goggins the damn supporting actor Emmy please.

Get The Wire. The 2nd season might throw you, but I've watched it almost 3 times now and it has become one of my favorite seasons. The challenge of The Wire is twofold: 1.) It's main character is the modern American city and 2.) Each season they have a theme-that's how the writers/producers come at it.

It's SO rewarding though, if you stick with it. I love the Shield, have watched it since episode 1, but nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to The Wire. This past season (season 4) was probably the best television I've ever seen.

I know. The Wire love can be tiring. I was just responding to a previous Shield-lover's post, thinking he should give it another shot if he likes the Shield. They're completely different animals in so many ways that they really shouldn't be compared.

But The Shield can't end without Shane's complete demise or redemption-not necessarily death-but something's gotta give with this guy.

And I really hope we have a Dutch-heavy final season.

It's a movie now? I thought it was a baseball game. Or like World War II. Or the Civil War. Or Plinko. God forbid anybody talk about it like a grown-up.

Is to not have Mitt Romney as President.

when Rove hasn't even been fingerprinted.

Exploding boobs.

I didn't think Spielberg would get behind such an unabashed warmonger so quickly.

Could they just get Puff Daddy to do a "remix" of "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow?"

A reenactment?

Have a great trip and good luck with everything.

Be sure and bring some boots! (For all the shit you'll have to wade through.)
