Strider, don't get caught up in that mess! I too miss, Miss HoneyDripper... Blast from the past there!

^ Enjoy!!!

Baby you can drive my car.....

So true! One of the most annoying posters....EVER!

Uh, what? Well, the Bush tax cuts have been in place throughout the economic downturn, so where's the job creation? Yes, both parties are in it to serve their own base(campaign donors), but with billionaire upon billionaire pumping money into romney's campaign, you don't think he will completely turn everything towards benefitting them and in return himself? Even Ryan's plan includes giving $300,000 in tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, will middle class Americans' taxes will increase on average of $2,000. It's not about reallocating wealth in this country either. That is a ridiculous proposition to me. The division of wealth continues to get wider in this country and not because of the 1% working harder than everyone else, it's because they are continually getting the rules and laws to benefit them most. This will only increase under a Romney/Ryan administration at the expense of the rest of the country. Plus, as we have already experienced, the economy as a whole will go in the tank again - as it has at the end of the last few GOP presidencies. There is no easy answer to the problems that face this nation, even though some make it sound that way, but taking money from SS and turning it over to Wall Street investors, giving huge tax breaks to billionaires and not touching the defense budget doesn't seem to be the right direction for the majority of people in this country.

JR, don't confuse him....you know how bad his memory is!

C'mon now, you know those "history books" are to further the "liberal agenda"!

^ Yeah, there's no record of that happening!

It came across the same way to me, as do many of jr's statements (not slamming you, btw).

I believe he is associating that with Zep - emulating Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson, et all....

Eye thank you! That's my kinda gal right there^!

Paul, time to pull out those hot Dolphin cheerleaders they have been showing on "Hard Knocks".....please!?!

Couldn't wait for the responses....I thought you'd love that post!

Same thing has happened to me with a number of cd's and tapes, last time being about 10 years ago....never again!

10 Things to know about Paul Ryan 1. His economic plan would cost America 1 million jobs in the first year. Ryan's proposed budget would cripple the economy. He'd slash spending deeply, which would not only slow job growth, but shock the economy and cost 1 million of us our jobs in 2013 alone and kill more than 4 million jobs by the end of 2014.1 2. He'd kill Medicare. He'd replace Medicare with vouchers for retirees to purchase insurance, eliminating the guarantee of health care for seniors and putting them at the mercy of the private insurance industry. That could amount to a cost increase of more than $5,900 by 2050, leaving many seniors broke or without the health care they need. He'd also raise the age of eligibility to 67.2 3. He'd pickpocket the middle class to line the pockets of the rich. His tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. He wants to cut taxes by $4.6 trillion over the next decade, but only for corporations and the rich, like giving families earning more than $1 million a year a $300,000 tax cut. And to pay for them, he'd raise taxes on middle- and lower-income households and butcher social service programs that help middle- and working-class Americans.3 4. He's an anti-choice extremist. Ryan co-sponsored an extremist anti-choice bill, nicknamed the 'Let Women Die Act,' that would have allowed hospitals to deny women emergency abortion care even if their lives were at risk. And he co-sponsored another bill that would criminalize some forms of birth control, all abortions, and in vitro fertilization.4 5. He'd dismantle Social Security. Ironically, Ryan used the Social Security Survivors benefit to help pay for college, but he wants to take that possibility away from future generations. He agrees with Rick Perry's view that Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and he supported George W. Bush's disastrous proposal to privatize Social Security.5 6. He'd eliminate Pell grants for more than 1 million low-income students. His budget plan cuts the Pell Grant program by $200 billion, which could mean a loss of educational funding for 1 million low-income students.6 7. He'd give $40 billion in subsidies to Big Oil. His budget includes oil tax breaks worth $40 billion, while cutting "billions of dollars from investments to develop alternative fuels and clean energy technologies that would serve as substitutes for oil."7 8. He's another Koch-head politician. Not surprisingly, the billionaire oil-baron Koch brothers are some of Ryan's biggest political contributors. And their company, Koch industries, is Ryan's biggest energy-related donor. The company's PAC and affiliated individuals have given him $65,500 in donations.8 9. He opposes gay rights. Ryan has an abysmal voting record on gay rights. He's voted to ban adoption by gay couples, against same-sex marriage, and against repealing "don't ask, don't tell." He also voted against the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which President Obama signed into law in 2009.9 10. He thinks an "I got mine, who cares if you're okay" philosophy is admirable. For many years, Paul Ryan devoted himself to Ayn Rand's philosophy of selfishness as a virtue. It has shaped his entire ethic about whom he serves in public office. He even went as far as making his interns read her work.10 Sources: 1.

Oh, Oh, Ooooh! RIP

Yes, Juliet you are correct. She begins the European leg tonight in Sofia, Bulgaria. Have you seen her new perfume, called "Fame", advertisement yet?

^ :lol:

3-0.....what a game.....

Type O is like butter....he's on a roll tonight!

What makes you think this? Paul Ryan is being chosen because he has a better chance of getting the GOP base energized than Romney is doing. Sounds like a vote getter to me, which is the name of the game when trying to get elected, btw. His budget plan is controversial at the very least...and his record is going to be tough to overcome, IMO.

^ No, the Yankees have a long storied history in baseball, starting with acquiring the legendary Babe Ruth and then going on to win 27 titles in the last 90 years. People don't like them because they win too often, more recently because they spend more $ on players than any other team. I first heard that song on the PF album (then later on a bootleg tape of the Knebworth show) and never knew it's significance until reading this thread. People around here have been talking a lot more about your league over there and I have noticed games being televised over here more often too. I will have to follow it closer, so I'll have some idea what you're talking about. Good luck to your teams!

Yes, thanks to all for sharing....looks like it was a fantastic evening!

You know this, maan! (should've used that in another thread!) My 'boys are having a rash of injuries, nothing too serious but the o-line is pretty patched together right now. #1 pick Claiborne won't play due to a sprained knee. I still like our chances though. The 4 Cowboy preseason games are within 16 days of each other...good time to test that depth chart. I just hope it's a better game than what I've seen over the past 4 days!
