Peyton Manning v. the Jaguars defense, or K. Warner v. Forty-Niners?

Matt Schaub v. the Jets defense, or Brett Favre v. Cleveland's D?

A friend just sent an email regarding raising money for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise money for cancer research. Are these really worthwhile charities? Has any cure or breakthrough been found by any of these charities? Where are the results published?

It seems to me that all of the breakthroughs come from drug companies which get the money to fund their own research from their incredibly high markups on the cost of prescription drugs.

Are there any "free" cancer or other drugs available to the public as a result of all of the billions of dollars that have been given to these charities in the name of "finding a cure?" Is there somewhere where they give or fund free cancer treatments? If giving money to these charities is helping, who is reaping the benefits of this research? Please don't tell me its the drug companies.

It seems to me, I would rather give my money to something like Ronald McDonald House or the Make a Wish Foundation-- no, its not a cure, but if it makes life even a little more bearable or enjoyable for those with diseases and their families, that seems to me to be a tangible benefit with results I can see and appreciate.

I'm looking for 2 or three books that examine the root causes of World War II. Preferably not dry academic texts. I am primarily a lover of fiction, but the occasional well-written History books have been known to make their way onto my list: John Adams, Theodore Rex, The Devil in the White City, Rising Tide. Any one have any brilliant suggestions?

Also, I am aware of Pat Buchanan's new book on this topic, but before I would ever read a book from someone who,(a) gives opinions for a living, and, (b) is not, by training or practive, an historian, I would rather read the "professional opinion" of an historian with (hopefully) no political axe to grind.

Does anyone know of one besides the annoying TNT website that has no commentators or real camera-work?

Can anyone direct me to a site to watch the game live right now?

I collected approximately $800k in settlements on rental properties damaged by natural disaster. Outstanding mortgages were about $400k. Is the remaining 400k taxable, and at what rate? Did not fix the properties up, decided to sell them instead.

Given any two choices, why does he always make the wrong choice? Send Helen back, or keep her? (wrong). Wait out the enemy, or listen to the birds and attack? (wrong). Bring the horse into the walls of the city, or burn it where it stands? (wrong again). How'd this guy get to be king?
