  1. ha, i watched this clip just a couple of days ago, good one
  2. Mayor Walsh of Boston wants to stage the Beanpot tournament in Belfast
  3. Notorious, famous, infamous, whatever works for you
  4. What is sad and scary is that the default setting of US foreign policy in the Muslim world is military action, it matters not that the sitting US president is a Noble Peace Prize winner (cough).... It shows a staggering lack of imagination that the best efforts our diplomats put forth inevitably results in a capitulation to the military industrial complex, which has a big boner right now. Yes, what ISIS has been doing is diabolical, but what of the wholesale rape and slaughter of African civilians in CAR, DRC, Sudan, etc.? The West's response to these various crises seems arbitrary and reactionary, and one can't help but think it's just war games and political posturing.
  5. yea, the video will surely be released within he next 48 hrs
  6. Considering the borders were drawn up by the British and French less than 100 years ago, it's no wonder why IS don't respect them. Or why allied powers don't respect them either.
  7. I wish it was as simple as decimating the Nazi government in WW2. But it's not. We can't bomb radical Islam off the planet.
  8. Watched the Jeter game winner. The pitcher might as well have lobbed that ball underhanded. More or less staged, IMO.
  9. Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn cast for next installment...huge break for Vaughn, who's been stuck in a hole of slapstick comedies and stupid romantic comedies. These two are far from my first choice, but if the writing is still good, they should be able to pull it off.
  10. Roy Keane is the real Dread Pirate Roberts
  11. Guess I should've started Eli again Not that I did last week, mind you
  12. Felix and Sale are in his neighborhood, but they can't come close to his win total.
  13. Liverpool 1 - 1 Everton Chelsea 3 - 0 Aston Villa Crystal Palace 1 - 2 Leicester Hull 0 - 3 Man City Man United 3 - 1 West Ham Southampton 2 - 0 QPR Sunderland 1 - 1 Swansea Arsenal 2 - 1 Tottenham West Brom 1 - 0 Burnley Stoke 1 - 1 Newcastle
  14. I think if you make any changes, maybe add 2 points for correct goal difference. So if you predict 0-0, and the score is 1-1 or 2-2, you get 2 points...dunno if thats a big pain in the ass to do though.
  15. A good friend of mine who was looking at a life of dialysis due to kidney disease got the news that he found a donor and he will get the kidney next month! I am over the moon right now, so happy for him.
  16. I think for the US in this instance, its damned if you do, damned if you dont. I agree with Peter to the extent that The US should have tried to finesse the situation more to try and get an all Arab response together while avoiding having to drop any bombs themselves. But that was never giing to happen. As it stands, there is a broad coalition of countries that is participating directly and indirectly, and a number of those states are Arab. I think the last foreign conflict the US had a moral obligation to persue wasWW2. ISIL comes pretty close to being as obviously diabolical as the Nazis, whose defeat was also in everyones best interest.
  17. I cant recall where I saw that syria gave the ok for bombing. It was a credible source though, or i wouldnt have repeated it. I think its highly probable that the US has had talks with the Assad regime, either directly or through an intermidiary, despite what they say. In any event, Assad has not denounced it, as far as i know. And he shouldnt, because bombing IS helps him.
  18. Roy Keane's farts smell like spite.
  19. Somewhat OT, but 3 Afghan army officers being trained on a Cape Cod army base walked off the base Saturday night and haven't been seen since...considering the number of incidents where Afghan soldiers have betrayed their American and British "partners", this is somewhat worrying, but it's being pretty much buried in US news for some reason.
  20. The best part of that clip is when he repeats the joke two seconds later
