Who do Bears fans appreciate as being the better running back. Walter Peyton or Gayle Sayers?

Also, how do you feel the better back of those 2 stands up to Barry Sanders?

If the bailout is as necessary as they say, why did they take the day off yesterday? The Dow went down 770 points, but came back up 500. Not exactly as tragic as they would have us believe. They tell us we cant get car loans, student loans, mortgages...I can go to any car dealer and get any car I want with 0 down, and next to 0% interest. Aren't student loans government backed? Didn't we already bolster up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Remember these important words from the Declaration of Independence...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

It is time to kick everyone of these bums out of office. We need people in power who have our best interests in mind, not corporations. This bailout has shown us that there isn't any difference between the Democrats and Republicans. We need a third party people. We need the blue collar party!!!!

Why does Obama's supporters claim he is ready to lead the country? What has he done to back up this statement? Here is his claim to fame from his voting record. One of Barack Obama’s only legislative accomplishments in the U.S. Senate is the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act, which passed in September 2007. When he announced his candidacy in Springfield, Ill., Obama called the bill “the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate.” Critics from left and right, however, have called it a chilling threat to free speech. This is something to boast about?

Obama’s ethics bill sounds good on paper: “strict bans on receiving gifts and meals from lobbyists; new rules to slow the revolving door between public and private sector service.” But once this lofty rhetoric hits reality, it crumbles. Just as Obama can’t define a “windfall profit,” defining “gifts” and “meals” also proves difficult.

The First Amendment protects “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” That’s what lobbying is. Under Obama’s ethics law, groups sponsoring events here in Denver have to consult a lawyer at every step. The New York Times reports:

Depending on the circumstances, breakfasts are limited to bagels, rolls and croissants, while proteins like eggs are prohibited. What is more, rules differ for events that are deemed to be “widely attended” — something that has more than 25 diverse attendees but is not a ballgame or a concert.

“People are trying to organize parties around conflicting and inscrutable rules,” said Jan Baran, a campaign finance expert at Wiley Rein, a Washington law firm. “It drives the lawyers crazy to give advice. We are having to decide if a group is a cover band, a string quartet or a name band.”

So, for example, if farmers from Minnesota want to throw a party for lawmakers, and they serve steak and cheese quesadillas and have the band Styx provide entertainment, then any lawmaker who attends is violating the new ethics law. But if the Minnesota farmers serve only cheese quesadillas and a Styx cover band provides entertainment, Washington has been saved from corruption.

Even Democrats who voted for the legislation recognize how silly the law is. Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) told The Hill, “the whole thing is ridiculous,” the result is a “hodgepodge of inconsistency” that has created “artificial restrictions which are arbitrary.” These words ought to be remembered when we consider other liberal priorities: allowing Congress to both compete in the health care market while also setting its rules and creating a “market” for carbon out of thin air.

Denver is awash in special-interest money this week. The Denver Post reports that Obama’s big-money donors are being offered premier seats to his acceptance speech at Invesco Field.

Top fundraisers for the “Obama Victory Fund” were offered club-level seats through the end of Monday for $1,000 apiece. … The Obama campaign and its partners at the Democratic National Convention Committee have 8,300 club-level seats. If all were purchased, it could mean a cash infusion of $8.3 million.

Kind of reminds you of the book "1984". We are all equal, but some are more equal than others.

...just one of those things that makes you go...hmmmmm.

John goes to the Proctologist to have his prostate examination. The doctor says, "John, you are going to have to stop masturbating."

John replies indignantly, "WHY?!?" The doctor says, "Well, I am trying to give you an examination."

We have tried the Baquacil system, but didn't like the smell that it left on us when we got out. Also, it seemed to foam up a lot. Any suggestions?
