CH:
After last week's win I am cautiously optimistic vabout today. We beat the Ravens one time last year so I am hoping their recent troubles with their kicked out thug of a player will cost them today.
Iggy; Hoyer our quarterback went to St Ignatius high school as did my husband. At home we call him our "Iggy"s boy.
Happy belated birthday to centracal .I am missing someone again so Happy Birthday.
Ext: You had an excellent post on a previous thread. Feel free to share your good ideas with us.
clarice; Wonderful article and I especially liked the shout-out to Miss M[PBS has a Miss Marple show on tonight} and the takedown of Babs Boxer.
Browns couldn't execute in crunch time and the Ravens could. That's really what it came down to. Not gonna single anybody out except the sooner Billy Cundiffe is put on irrevokeable waivers, the better. Choking twat.
Want to bring some muscle back into the feminization of the NFL? Get rid of that stupid QB sliding rule. You want to run RGIII, Kaepernick and Wilson then man up.
Jeter's defense has been almost as overrated as Scooter Rizzuto's entire career but he's put up insanely good numbers on offense. Definitely a first ballot HOFer; it would be stupid to argue otherwise no matter what you think about the Yankees.
Agree 100%, Captain. The main thing I hold against him is staying at shortstop when the ARod joined the team, forcing the better defender to play 3b. Batting him 2nd all season this year probably didn't help the team either, but I don't know whose decision that was.
I just watched the ad on youtube. Nice ad, but if you're not in NYC you probably can't appreciate how thick it's been laid on this year. The funny thing was seeing the number of people in the comments asking what the song was in the background. Probably the same people who can't name three branches of government.
They're retrieving every ball he touches, practically, even foul tips. (Ok, I'm exaggerating slightly, but not a lot.) With 10 games left in the season they were saying "That ball could be his last major league hit!" seemingly without realizing the irony. I'm guessing the fans will be lining up to sniff his jock straps.
Packers are useless. Just saw a Burke commercial where she compares herself to Reagan -- then claims Walker raised taxes (????). Lies are what the left is good at.
Just caught up. Happy Belated Birthday,ccal and James D! You share a birthday with my mother,which we celebrated in NH yesterday. She's still a bit unsteady on her feet a month after knee replacement,but is doing well.
In my very limited TV viewing over the week-end,I saw a Mitt endorsement of Scott Brown,paid for by the U.S.Chamber of Commerce.
Marlene, hubby and I took an early leaf peeping trip north to Lancaster, Jefferson, Twin Mountain, and back through Bethlehem. Was really gratified by the amount of signs for Marilinda Garcia and Scott Brown. None others except for the locals. I was sorry I had not taken my camera. Marilinda's Facebook page in particular likes stuff like this. I am working for both campaign and will be doing Garcia flyers at the Littleton Art Festival and the Sugar Hill Fall Festival next weekend.
Yogi and Carmine came to our wedding in London. Old friend because of another friend who is his golf buddy. Play out of Montclair in Joesey. Fastest greens I have ever played on.
In 2000 I was Yogi's bodyguard on the JFK during the NYC tall ship sailing when Clenis came flying in with Reno and Cohen. Guess who the sailors wanted their photos with?
Limit immigration or watch conservative efforts become irrelevant.
The 2008 National Annenberg Election Survey found that 62 percent of immigrants prefer a single, government-run health-care system. The 2010 Cooperative Congressional Election Study found that 69 percent of immigrants support Obamacare. Pew also found that 53 percent of Hispanics have a negative view of capitalism, the highest of any group surveyed. This is even higher than the 47 percent among self-identified supporters of Occupy Wall Street.
The Pew Research Center has also found that 75 percent of Hispanics prefer a “bigger government providing more services,” and only 19 percent prefer a smaller government. Pew also reported that 55 percent of Asians prefer “bigger government providing more services,” and only 36 percent prefer a smaller government. So it’s no surprise that in 2012, 71 percent of Hispanics and 73 percent of Asians voted for Obama.
She notes that much of the Republican Party leadership hasn't looked into the policy preferences of immigrants.
-- then claims Walker raised taxes (????). Lies are what the left is good at.
Why not?...there is no downside for the left.
Cuccinelli was supposedly gonna outlaw birth control.
Cuccinelli didn't even run against McAuliffe. He ran against Big Abortion, leftist environmentalists, & the MFM.

Great Pieces today, Clarice. I particularly enjoyed the clips from one of those Senators I would most like to take Zeke's advice.

I'm tired of pointing out how insane their stance on immigration reform is, from every aspect ranging from political advantage to what is good for the country. I can only assume they don't care about what the base wants or the Reagan democrats. Good luck winning with that.
I thought Denver getting rid of Tebow and bringing in Manning was like a sure thing for winning the Super Bowl. Like the one last year and this match up. News for Elway and Co. Without a defense your boy can pass all day and be mediocre as a team.
MaryD,what a pretty drive! I was amazed at the number of political signs along the roads in NH. My brother told us that Scott Brown was at a local music festival last week-end.He was by himself,didn't glad-hand,but engaged in conversation with anyone who approached him. He's doing campaigning at the retail level,as I'm sure you know.
Jane,we can't watch the Pats because the local CBS station has blacked out DISH customers because of a contract dispute.
I'm old enough to remember when the Cards played in Chicago. An online friend of mine from Chitown's father used to berate him for cheering for the Bears, calling them the Football Cubs.
I can't explain irrational hatreds, narc, other than to acknowledge their existence. I was very happy when the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City. I think I cheered for the Mariners once when they were in the playoffs against the Yankees but that was a singular event.
Jim Rhodes,so glad you are home and feeling a bit better. Based on my experience with heart failure in the last couple of years, I would say take it easy and give yourself a break. I had very unrealistic feelings about when I would "be better" and what I "should be doing" -- don't go there! I've only now, after two years, come to believe that I am better. I'm 72 and believe me and this stuff really takes the wind out of your sails.

For you foodies I am grilling lamb kebobs marinated in yoghurt the morrocan way. Yummy with a cuke, radish, mint and feta cheese salad. Eat good feel good.
