Re: Billboard

I'm sure Jon Stewart misses him. W probably provided THE most amount of fodder for people the make fun of him for. Palin has taken over but more so only for her stupidity than anything. She has a way to go yet to be of W's league. Funny how any republican is catagorized as stupid and if you are a d...

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show

Actually I'm kind of thinking it's time to stop all the hype over a half time. Just let the teams go into the locker rooms let the fans go to the concessions and bathrooms and then get everyone back and start the 2nd half. You may now start throwing things at me. http://bestsmileys.com/hugging/5.gif

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show

I was a huge Who fan in the 70's and 80's. The performance was horrible. But really, Pete and Roger playing Who songs isn't the same as a real Who concert from the good old days. Keith Moon/Kenny Jones I liked them both but you can't replace the Ox. My biggest issue was with the NFL and cBS. cBS blo...

Re: Bad Sportsmanship?

He has a history of turning sour after a big loss. He is a great QB. The press loves him too much for his poor sportsmanship to become a major issue. He is not the first to act childish after a big game and he won't be the last. He'll apologize if the PR spins out of control. Then the press will mov...

Re: going land lineless

Haven't had a landline for over 7 years. Don't miss it. You may want to look into a service like Skype for home use if you make a lot of calls. I pay $2.99 a month for unlimited calls to any phone in the US. I don't have a number for incoming...that's an extra $5 a month. I use Skype to help keep th...

Re: Roman Polanski detained in Switzerland

I don't understand the arrest, he does own a home in Switzerland so I am sure he could have been picked up sooner. I find it hard to believe the current administration put any pressure out to make this happen. The current administration really doesn't have a rep for hunting down criminals. I do beli...

Re: pre pay savings card??

We have something similar in Philly, you buy gift cards at a discount for specific restaurants. I haven't tried it but it seems to be popular. There is a radio station that allows advertisers to pay for their advertising with gift cards. There is a lot of creative stuff going on right now to spur bu...

Re: "When it absolutely, positively has to be there...

I have been burned by both companies in the past. Both are good, both will screw up the most important package ever. The route drivers are the most important part of the system. When you have a good one, as a shipper/receiver life is good, when they are on vacation, sometimes things are different.

Re: Iranian Military Parade ends in Air Force Plane Crashing....

Well if we would agree with Iran that Israel is an illegitimate country and that the holocaust never happened. Perhaps we should take the first step here and show some solidarity with the fine residents of Iran and declare September 18 Anti-Israel day. We could celebrate together. :roll:

Re: Man gets his Pot back from Police.

While he doesn't support a blanket legalization of marijuana, he said the drug has helped him manage his injuries.
Of course he doesn't support legalization. He is making too much money dealing himself.
