When was the last time Massachusetts had a Republican senator? What a victory on the one year anniversary for Obama.

Re: Just a thought RE: Rush and his ilk..

Can't think of any president in recent memory that didn't win an election without dividing people and pointing out the faults of the other side. Nothing constructive there. March to left, march to the right...is there any other option? Both sides have their buzz "hate words" to taint the o...

Does airport security use profiling when checking passengers?

South Africa 2010

How about that draw today for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The USA might actually be able to finish second to England in their group.

The "group of death" is easily Brazil, Portugal and Ivory Coast.

Re: You never know who might be busking.....

On the other hand how many people can afford to pay $200 a ticket to see a musician? Or can afford a $3.5 million dollar instrument?
Nevermind all these "feely" questions in the article, how about the financial questions they don't bother to ask!

Re: Went to Parking Lot Yes.....Went to Concert No?

As much as I LOVE the tailgating at Alpine Valley ultimately the day is about the show and as such I always "try" to make it into the show. One year I didn't and the parking lot was alive with music, life and fun...and there were no security issues whatsoever. I've never gone to a venue wi...

Re: Rolling Stone

Don't bother...it's less about music and more about politics. I cancelled my subscription when the majority of covers and major stories weren't even about music at all...unless the music fit the magazines political leaning...i.e. Green Day.

Re: Good News...Killing Someone Only Nets 24 Days in Jail

How do you technically know you're drunk? Assuming you've had a drink and haven't stayed dry. What about driving while tired/exhausted...eating....texting....talking on the phone...changing the radio station, stressed, etc? We all know these cause us to be less responsive, attentive and impair our d...

Re: Good News...Killing Someone Only Nets 24 Days in Jail

How is "murder" defined? Or "murderer"? I'm a cab caller, walk home kinda person but I still think your "average" DWI/DUI is a witch hunt. To throw these people into the same catagory as someone who uses a knife, gun, rope, weapon, their bare hands, etc to kill someone ...

This whole DUI/DWI thing is out of control...how many on this forum have left a concert, bar, restaurant, friends house, your house, legally drunk (and you'd be surprised how many of you have)...would you consider yourselves a perspective murderer at that time? The complete vilification of DUI/DWI i...

Re: American Idol 2009

Disappointed that enough people couldn't look beyond Adam's "flamboyancy" and that group were probably the swing votes. I guess better talent isn't enough to win. Another victory for the narrow and closed minded. Good luck to Kris, seems like a nice guy with a reasonable amount of talent. ...
