Gotta Love Them Steelers!

at 02/02/09 9:36AM

What's the difference between the steelers and all the other teams in the nfl? its not just the fact that they have now won 6 championships...its because they do it the right way...

i loved THIS ARTICLE

Yay!Steelers!!! :) That article was pretty cool : )

I'm glad the steelers won...we don't exactly have the disposable income to replace large pieces of furniture that would have been broken by certain guests in the event of the steelers losing. :P

Just go visit Nina! LOL

what do you mean "the right way"? sorry, not really into sports...

by jamestwo at 02/24/09 10:54AM
i mean that they didn't buy a championship like dallas tries to do, and that the owners are classy people, who care for their players and their community.

by kmbrewcrew at 02/27/09 1:33PM
ahhhh. gotcha, ...I think. :/

What a day in college football...

at 09/27/08 6:22PM

and it isn't even close to over yet. My college pick'em is about blown up. but the good news is, so is everyone else has done pretty bad in my league as well.

My tigers squeaked out another one...if we don't get some offense, we are going to be in real trouble in the coming weeks.

WVU beat marshall...i really thought marshall would have a chance this year, but i guess not.

Florida got beat by unranked (and perenial SEC bottom dweller) Ol' Miss. of course, they may also beat auburn, if we can't get some offense going soon!

two big games left tonight. i'm pulling for bama (don't get used to it) and Penn State. They could both be great games tonight.

i'm looking forward to the rest of the college football year...looks like just about anything is possible!

even when i am rooting for bama it is hard to root for bama :)

by kmbrewcrew at 09/27/08 9:25PM
wow, ole miss! and roll tide! i love college football. those games cheered me up after marshall's pathetic showing.

by caraboo at 09/27/08 10:31PM
that first half was a thing of beauty!

by donnajo at 09/27/08 10:40PM
hope you appreciate Bama's effort in keeping your pick'em respectable...

Caution: Political Post Ahead...

at 09/26/08 2:46PM

i am fascinated by what is going on right now politically, and even more fascinated by the spin...

As to the bailout: No, no, never, shouldn't happen. Let the markets crash, and readjust. bailing out the markets will only prolong the inevitable. the claim that we the taxpayers are somehow going to benefit from paying the government 700 billion dollars is a pie in the sky fantasy. not going to happen.

What really happened...

we have two men who are running for president. One was willing to suspend his campaign and go back to washington to deal with the crisis at hand. the other had to be drug there kicking and screaming. once there, he "took control" of the meeting between leaders of both parties, and then swiftly crashed the meeting by not being informed.

Now the spin...

McCain is accused of destroying the meeting, even though all observers said he didn't really say much, other than we need to put aside differences, and come up with a solution. It has become a dem. talking point to say he has disrupted the deal that was set in principle, though house republicans claim there was no deal. Now, you may think that the republicans are lying to help mccain out, but that is ludicrous considering that they don't support mccain. They are trying to force the conservative solution, which excludes the idea of stealing $700 billion from american tax payers. Obama is now saying he is still going to work "from afar" and "by phone", which is exactly what I want to hear from my leaders..."I'm just gonna phone it in this time..."

also in the spin...

the bush administration is catching all the blame for the present economy. they certainly bear some of the blame, as they have not corrected the problems installed by the CLINTON administration. remember how good you had it under clinton? now you are paying the piper. Clintonites don't want to accept it, but it was the democrats who forced financial institutions to give out loans to people who could not prove that they could repay. they forced banks to give loans to low and mid level home buyers because it wasn't fair that only "rich" people could buy homes. Now, those "sub prime loans" (remember, they were forced on the financial institutions by the clinton administration) are defaulting. imagine that, give money to people in adjustable rate mortgages that they cannot pay if the interest rate goes up even a couple of points...did anyone think the interest rate was never going to go up? the truth is, clinton helped a group of people get something that they couldn't afford, and set it up so that they could keep it until he was out of office, and he didn't care what might happen when he was done with his terms...

some have accused the republicans of being "socialists" for pushing the bailouts. Number one, only the president and more fiscally liberal republicans are supporting the bailout. if you are paying attention, it is the house republicans that are doing their level best to block this bailout. it is the democrats who want the bailout now! it is not the conservative, house republicans who are socialists, but rather the democrats who are showing this socialist streak once again! btw, Bush's fiscal irresponsibility has been one of my biggest complaints...he has spent like a democrat (and yet the dems still don't like him, go figure).

folks, there is plenty of blame to go around in this financial problem. but i am tired of hearing that mccain and the republicans are "politicizing" the problem, when it is really the democrats. chuch schumer has spent more time on tv blasting mccain in the last 48 hours than he has working on a solution (which is probably better, since everything the man touches is a disaster). Obama has been crying about mccain "politicizing" the issue, while he uses it as fodder for his own campaign and for promoting a FOREIGN POLICY DEBATE. now, it may just be me, but if he can't even keep the topic straight, he has greater problems.

this issue has certainly been politicized, just not by the mccain campaign, as the predominate obama supporting media have been trying to convey.

Glad someone else has heard the facts like me!

The economy is going to run in cycles with ups and downs regardless of what anyone does, but the gov't can certainly make it worse (as you've pointed out). And, really Congress is probably more at fault than the President, he really has little control over a lot of that.

by matidwell at 09/26/08 7:15PM
AMEN!!!!!

by teelduo at 09/26/08 8:06PM
i watched it, and i think he could have done better, but i thought overall he did well. i think he showed a great difference between himself and obama in experience

by kmbrewcrew at 09/26/08 10:08PM
granted, i am a conservative, but mccain's answers (even if not quite so articulate) were much better informed, and showed much better judgment

for example, one of the first questions had to do with what they would cut to pay for the 700 billion dollar bailout. obama couldn't come up with anything that he would cut out to pay for it, and mccain was clear about doing such things as considering spending freezes for non-essential programs. the problem is, obama can't say which programs he will cut because he will anger the rest of the dems. McCain, being a true maverick, doesn't care who he makes mad in washington :)

by kmbrewcrew at 09/26/08 10:13PM
cody, you are going to give some of my readers a heart attack :)

by kmbrewcrew at 09/26/08 10:14PM
the CNN coverage is trying to convince us all that obama won the part of the debate about the iraq war. one of the partisans keeps saying that obama "thrashed" mccain.

what i saw was that obama kept saying that we shouldn't have gone into iraq. that doesn't address in any way how he will deal with the war if elected. he never did really address it, except to say that he would pull out in 16 months. that will endanger both the progress made in iraq, and the security of the us

by kmbrewcrew at 09/26/08 10:31PM
another thing obama kept repeating is that he would give tax cuts to 95% of americans. #1 he cannot possibly pay for his 800 billion dollars of new programs without raising taxes. #2 some 30-40% of americans don't pay taxes...how can they have their taxes cut? i guess that is that new math that goes with the new geography of our 57 states...

by kmbrewcrew at 09/26/08 10:40PM
funny, did you just see the poles on fox. m-82% o-15%

by kayhack at 09/26/08 10:53PM
no, i didn't see that, but i figured that the numbers presented by CNN were skewed the other way. shows that the channels themselves are partisan, and that the viewers choose coverage that more accurately reflects their own values. man i wish i had fox news

I'm at my moms, ,she has it. I don't have it at home either :(

gotta love the information super highway in this here computer age:

by kmbrewcrew at 09/26/08 11:20PM
The press gets its bias against Republicans honest: they teach it to them in college. In an editorial in the WKU university paper, The College Heights Herald, dealing with the perceived faults of the Student Government Association comes this quote:

"If the U.S. Congress can deal with a president with the public approval rating of giving measles to puppies, surely SGA members can suffer through a year of a leader they don't particularly enjoy in favor of democracy."

I guess they forgot that the Congress' approval rating makes President Bush look popular.

by brewer at 09/27/08 12:18AM
What bit of the debate I could stomach to watch all I got from Obama was that he thought Iraq was a mistake and we should pull out but he is quick to say we need to fight Afghanistan and Russia. He made it a point to say he had a bracelet like McCain but that mother told him to bring all those boys home. Well now he just wants to send them somewhere else without really thinking about what he would do cause he had no strategy. I am not so sure someone who has never been involved with military strategy or many foreign affairs issues is able to make these decisions. I did however think that McCain was able to voice that Obama is not qualified.
