So you don't want to know the numbers or don't care to show what BO has done, but you love to blame Bush. Reagan turned the economy of Carter around by the second year of his first term but somehow BO policies just won't solve our issues, how convenient! The worst economy in 35 years is more like it but you guys love to forget about Carter's term now don't ya!! Care to rethink that, Johnny? Reagan destroyed the deficit, doubling it over Carter's, nearly doubling it every year he was in office. That's not to say Carter was a good president - he wasn't, he was crap - but let's use some real numbers, not derp. I would love to forget that Carter ever existed, yes. I was a Reagan Republican back then, dyed in the wool. I was Republican right up until Gingrich's "Contract With America" nonsense. I guess I just got tired of being lied to every single election cycle. That's why I'm an Independent, neither Republican nor Democrat, and have been for almost 15 years.

Sounds like a "living document." Apparently original intent only applies to documents written between 1786 and 1789. Well, certainly. Man's rules can't change AT ALL, but God's rules? Eh. They change with the times.

So you agree that the statement of Hebrews 13:8 is wrong, and that God is NOT "the same yesterday, today and tomorrow." Interesting. There were rules back then that were OK, but are not OK now. The rules from Leviticus were based on God's law, and I presume that you at least attempt to live by God's law today. Yet that law has, apparently, changed with the times. Interesting.

A couple of articles about our receiving corps, a WR and a TE.

You'll be able to identify me. I'll be the one drinking beer. What time do you guys want to meet? 7pm? 6pm and get food?

Buzzzzzzzzz. Wrong answer. Rape was wrong back then, too. That's why it was called rape, and why Leviticus called for the execution of the rapist in some cases. I suppose you could continue to hide behind the cloak of "it was a long time ago," Johnny. But the reality is, rape was wrong then, it's wrong now, and any attempts to justify making a violated woman marry her rapist is silly, by today's standards and by the standards of four millennia ago. Let's remember that the entire world didn't treat women as property, and that if a man raped a woman in, say, ancient Greece, he wouldn't be rewarded with the right to marry her, he'd be executed. And she'd go on with her normal life. Not an outcast.

What's the recruiting picture like up in Madison that they have to get merc QBs two years in a row? Is everyone injured or have they just recruited a bunch of mediocre quarterbacks?

Well right, but being able to string together a couple of coherent sentences isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Neither is having good teeth. Neither is being a swell guy. Neither is the ability to hold your breath for two minutes. But none of those things have anything to do with being a quarterback.

When I'm getting surgery, I don't want a doctor that has a great bedside manner. I want a nerd who knows what he's doing. When I'm looking for a QB, the last thing I care about is whether he's good in front of a mic. Can he run, can he pass, can he lead the team? That's all I care about.

These guys come out every practice. Sometimes to provide good music, other times to drown out peripheral noise.

Speaking of "so much information to come out about this situation," here's an excerpt from the report of the first officer on the scene: LINK

The caveat under our guidelines is interesting. I wonder if Miles was laying down some fairly significant benchmarks that didn't necessarily appeal to JBD..? Thats what I am thinking. He and a few assistants were just in working out the kinks with some phones, should have asked them the details.. I'm betting you're both on the right track. "You can come back, JBD, but here's what you're going to be doing." And that was specifically unpalatable to him. It's better this way. Everyone gets to move on. He never seemed happy here. So many of the fans never seemed to rally around him. He had work ethic issues, and obviously injury issues.

More from Rosenthal via twitter:

Just heard that Mike Fox is gone, too. We added an Assistant - Ben Johnson from Northern Iowa.

It's disappointing, to say the least, if off-field issues affected the team that much. What's far more disappointing is that it was a coach, not the players, mucking about. Very hard to stomach that.

The Polish Auction approach. Interesting.

According to "insiders" Carl was half-assing it alot last year, and nobody is sad to see him leave town. There was a lot of turmoil going on. Carl wasn't focused. Maybe a change of leadership will improve things.

What do you mean "Was she given the choice to live the rapist or did she have to go...?" You're handing out treats for correct answers in this thread and you don't know yourself? Haven't you read your Bible, Johnny? You know very well she wasn't given the choice. You know very well her options were to live with her rapist - as his wife, for crying out loud - or live as an outcast from society, the society specifically labeled "God's Chosen People." What kind of question is, "Do you know how a Jewish woman during the time of Deuteronomy would think?" Do you really think women would have changed their minds about rape so much in the past four millennia that they would have liked it back then?

Is that a haiku? I think it might be the original Hebrew.

This quote just makes me ill. We simply gave away the football, WBB, volleyball and baseball games against these guys. I dare say we overlooked them each time, although I can't be certain about baseball. Just sickening.

That 1929 look was good, but 1902 was the best of them all. It almost has a futuristic quality to it.

Sorry, Johnny, but I'm just trying to keep you afloat here. So, what would have happened to the girl who was raped in approximately "Deuteronomy times" if they didn't make the man who raped her marry her? She would have been the responsibility of her father or eldest brother and lived with him in his household. Were this not possible her existence would have been similar to that of Esther - she would have eked out an existence gleaning grain from the harvested fields. Why? Because the "same yesterday, today and tomorrow" God of the Bible apparently told the men of that time to treat women that way. Oddly enough, that "same yesterday, today and tomorrow" God of the Bible seems to have changed his mind today, and allows single women the right to work and earn a living on their own, without having to be the chattel of some male - especially not a male who raped her. Bonus, huh? Knapplcy, Exactly, she would have been homeless if she had no father or elder brother. Thank you, finally you came up with the answer you get a treat!! See I knew you could figure it out, of course, today is much better for women, the text was written how many years ago and man was much more of a patriarchal society. So... you're saying it's better for her to have to live with her rapist than to be free to live on her own? Wow.

I'm reasonably certain that what we get will be unique enough from anyone else's that we won't have to worry about copycat allegations. If they are, we need to can Adidas, pronto.
