The problem is there are too many songs "jimmy's gotta play" at the concerts. When making a song list he has those and selections from the newest CD. That doesn't leave much room for moldy oldies. My wife isn't as big a fan as me, she cringes at CIP, WDWGDAS, BEG and a few of the others. I...

I hope one of the things that comes from this is a recognition from higher education and government of the importance of campus law enforcement. I worked for a campus PD for three years and we were viewed as "rent a cops" or security guards.....funding for equipment and training was alway...

It is easy to attack hip hop here, but punk also has the same themes as a lot of the hip hop stuff as far as violence goes. Most of the popular punk bands are white. If you expect the black leaders to go after the evil bands, shouldn't whitey be going after the white bands? Where is Tipper Gore when...

If I dropped one of my work tools, I would expect the person that picked it up would return it to me. I would return the bat. It really doesn't matter what it is worth.

Ok so there is a double standard today. Paybacks stink don't they. Live with it. Imus wasn't fired because of what he said, he was fired because the advertisers caved in to the race hustlers and legitimized their rants. Imus was wrong and deserved some backlash, but firing was a little extreme. Unti...

At this point, I don't think the merger would be approved, I believe that would be a bad decision because I don't think two companies can compete long term.

If I didn't have to spend an extra hour on the road this morning because of a closed road, closed bridge and a traffic light out, I probably would have enjoyed the storm more.

He doesn't wear the belt when traveling in passenger seat and likes to sit in front with driver. 2. He always wears the seatbelt unless he needs ...

I think Manchester is busy enough to require a little better staffing in that tower. Its poximety to Boston makes that a busier airport than one might think. Southwest has a lot of flights and USAir also pushes a good bit up there, in addition there is a good bit of private traffic and I believe the...

If we could go back and eliminate all federal agencies and departments that did not exixt before 1900 I am sure the deficit would disappear and our taxes could be cut further.

I love the concept, just hate the way it is produced. It reminds me of the sterilized movies that we watched in school. I can't get through an entire episode without moving on.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy guy, but I think microsoft banded up with the hardware manufacturers to generate new sales of equipment. To use Vista most computers have to be upgraded.

Buy a nice starter set. $200-300. You could get cheaper at a use equipment shop. Get some lessons and hit the range a lot. As you get better or confirm your interest, you will have developed some skills to properly evaluate new clubs. Then start replacing your driver, woods, putter, irons.

On the other hand, kidnapping for ransom is a popular past time there. This is one of the spots I have highlighted as a place to go. That has moved down in the list for now. If you loved Anguilla (who wouldn't), look into Barbados or Grenada. Both were wonderful islands. Grenada was my favorite of t...

I like the new season so far. I don't like the cliffhanger ending, but the premere was a lot better than the previous two seasons.
