Oh, I can taste the calories right now, sweet meaty sticky non-vegitabily mouth stuffin’ goodness, with plenty of calories in bowls that you can dip into the calories in other bowls before admitting them to the exclusive stomach fiesta inside all of us, the same one saying over and over in a pre-diabetic stupor “more booze…more booze”.
The Seahawks and Steelers are both about to engage in a series of rituals only Don King could truly appreciate. Indeed, an offensive lineman took to the ‘media/party blitz’ so well that he never even played in the game, but I’m sure he’s still alive somewhere, unless of course, he isn’t…on that note, the burning question in my mind is whether or not Pittsburgh will finally get real about Cowher when he loses it yet again. His team is favored going in, and in spite of past post-season failures where his crew went in embarassingly over confident, it’s most likely gone to his head already.
Ben Rothlisberger is the best player he’s got, and with him behind center, they can beat anybody on any given day. That said, Seattle’s rush defense may force him to play like Brady. They stuffed everyone they’ve faced with the front seven, and that’s the basic factor most likely to determine the outcome on Sunday. Is Seattle tough enough to stop the run? In spite of my East Coast locale, the only two things I like about the Steelers are Ward and Ben…their fans deserve nothing less than a crushing defeat, and I expect that will be the outcome.

America has led the way, and the rest of the world is falling in line. Because of our brilliant, resolute, might-makes-right brand of leadership, elections are taking place, and Democracy is finally fixing all of the Middle East’s problems. And to think that for the last few millennia, nobody realized it was just that easy.
More satisfying than the elections taking place though, is knowing how grateful they all are for what we’ve provided them at gunpoint. So grateful in fact, that Palestinians elected Hamas to run their government!
Oh, can you feel the warm glow of Democracy at work? It feels so good. I’ve got to say, our efforts are definitely making a difference in the Middle East, and anyone who says otherwise hates the troops. It’s that simple.
Do you hate the troops? Alright then. Terrorists may be the elected leaders of choice in Palestine, but that’s alright. Who cares anyway? Really…why the head scratching? Do you hate the troops?
FREEDOM IS ON THE MARCH!

This picture is Chris playing ‘Nice Guy Eddie’ in Resevoir Dogs, my favorite character of his. ‘Overshaddowed by his brother Sean’ is a line you’ll see in many articles on his death, but those writers don’t know what they’re talking about. Here are a list of my Chris Penn favorites.
At Close Range, All the Right Moves, True Romance, Rumble Fish, The Funeral

WASHINGTON - Stretched by frequent troop rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has become a “thin green line” that could snap unless relief comes soon, according to a study for the Pentagon.Andrew Krepinevich, a retired Army officer who wrote the report under a Pentagon contract, concluded that the Army cannot sustain the pace of troop deployments to Iraq long enough to break the back of the insurgency. He also suggested that the Pentagon’s decision, announced in December, to begin reducing the force in Iraq this year was driven in part by a realization that the Army was overextended.

It’s difficult to tell by the mainstream media’s coverage of his most recent video. I’ve seen Chris Matthews, Tucker Carlson and Pat Buchanan all analyze his latest message by drawing comparisons between his statements and those of Democrats. More than four years since Osama murdered thousands of Americans, the right-leaning paid babblers seem to care less that he’s still making videos at all. To them this guy is no longer a murderer.

What I hope for is a Super Bowl featuring Denver vs. Seattle. What I think will happen…Denver vs. Carolina, with the Panthers winning it all.

It’s a new site that aims to do with blogs what Ebay did with online auctions. The categories are vast, and the user base is expanding. In the future they intend to compensate users with consumer credits or cash, but the true draw for me is the wide range of users (all age groups, interests, etc.) and the site’s useability. I encourage all of you to check it out!

Having written this about 6 months ago, I was drawn back to it for some reason. Perhaps it’s the military theme of my writing this past week, but for anyone who hasn’t read it, I feel it’s just as apt today as it was last June. I’m very proud of this one. For the sake of having finally met (all of us I feel) at a point we agree on to a person here at deadissue, I’m bringing this one back for a second run. Read the rest of this entry »

By James Webb, a secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration, was a Marine platoon and company commander in Vietnam.
IT should come as no surprise that an arch-conservative Web site is questioning whether Representative John Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has been critical of the war in Iraq, deserved the combat awards he received in Vietnam. Read the rest of this entry »
