Dinty Moore Beef Stew over Brown Rice, chased with New Castle Brown Ale. This is pretty good stuff for us common folk. I don't know about a high roller like Dan, but, mmm, good eatin'! Welcome back Mr. Flynn!

The Dallas Mavericks are the NBA's best team.

Last night they crushed the Miami Heat, 112-76, to extend their league best winning streak to 13 games.

They have the best record in the West and are two back in the loss column for the best record in the league.

Earlier in the year they beat the team with the best record, the Detroit Pistons, by 35 points. They've split two games with the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. In the first meeting they beat the Spurs by 19; in the second, they lost by 2.

They are the deepest team in the NBA -- their second team (Dampier, Van Horn, Stackhouse, Daniels and Harris) would make the playoffs in either conference.

And finally, they are top 10 in every defensive category.

The Harlem Globetrotters would beat the Dallas Mavericks, and make them look foolish in the process of doing so.

Dan,
"America is worse off because of Betty Friedan"
How do you know that?

Posted by: Guido on February 10, 2006 03:22 PM

Abortion. Quotas. Women's Studies. Motherless Children. Childless Mothers. Need I continue, Guido, with the bad causes Friedan took up?

I've always thought that as women go, society goes. To a very large extent, women have the power to make or break a society.

A generation or two ago, when women were the 'stand by your man' type, kids were happier and more secure, men (husbands particular) were happier and more secure and woman were happier and society seemed to have a sense of direction.

With the advent of Women's Lib, women started thinking that to get to society's promised land of species dominance, they had to act and be more like men. So, now there is competition between the sexes and all of the respect for one another that once was the backbone of our society, is off the table and confusion reigns.

Women oft times say "where have all the good men gone". Well, they're right in front of them. But, instead of having to deal with an ultra-competitive psycho wench who thinks that swearing and drinking like a long shoreman, going to male strip clubs and indiscriminately using sex as a social tool, a lot of guys are taking a pass.

The family is in big time trouble folks and until women develop a new sense of center, society as we know it will suffer.

Thank you Betty Friedan and others like her.

Hockey is not an acquired taste and it's typically of interest only to a very specific and finite group of fans. So, more than past strikes in baseball or football, the recovery from last year's NHL walkout/lockout has been devastatingly slow and you have to wonder if the fans will come back into the fold. If they don't, the sport will suffer for years to come.

Why is the WNBA still on the air? Their ratings are routinely beaten by Esteban's Guitar Informercials, and outside of Storrs, CT and Tennessee nobody truly cares about women's basketball (save local Lesbian groups and families of the players). Vince McMahon's XFL on NBC had double the ratings, but was cancelled due to....you guessed it, poor ratings.

This has to be PC run amok! How many years of declining attendance and league revenues will be ovelooked by David Stern and the NBA before pulling the plug?

The Georgia Satelites are a far better band than The Black Crowes... Hockey and Pro Basketball are no longer major sports...The Office is the best show on TV...Fat people are harder to kidnap.

My cable company's "basic" package offers 25 channels, 3 of which are Spanish language.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read: "We are all world citizens"

I hereby renounce my world citizenship.

gro, dont be silly man, you talk foolishness and i will not go into detail over such a ridiculous comment.

i strongly dislike muslims.

Posted by: 50 cent on February 11, 2006 01:45 AM

It's not any persons fault that they were born into a muslim country. They are saddled with a defective religion and culture by circumstance, not largely by choice. Many muslims just want to raise a family and get through life like the rest of us. It's very sad that the West hasn't found a way to penetrate their religion, and convince them to follow a better way.

A continent ...with 5 countries in the top ten of church attendance,with the only countries in the world where abortion is illegal(backed by referendums),where one can find grottos and shrines being attended any day of the week and that gave us our new pope is not a "godless continent".

Just finished up with CPAC. Like the last one I went to, it needed more C and less PAC. The most interesting thing I attended was a 15 min mini-debate on marijuana/drug policy. The pro-legalization guy was understandbly speaking as fast as the micro machines man. I remember them doing this last year too with a 15 min mini-debate on foreign policy with Pat Buchanan. CPAC wasn't entirely pro-Bush as they had many tax policy speakers who were very disappointed in our president. As issues go it's pretty tame. You don't see David Keene trying to oust anyong out of the conservative movement for it (like he tried with Don Divine over Iraq).

Potato man, but does Europe still experience such miracles as the Virgin Mary appearing on a grilled cheese sandwich?

QED.

ann coulter used the the word raghead. its the end of the world!

Which beast is best? Well...I thought at first

That the east was best, and the west was worst.

But looking again, from the west to the east,

I like the beast on the East beach least.

Posted by: Homer J. Fong on February 12, 2006 08:11 PM

I love it when Ann Coulter talks like that.

Makes me randy baby, yeahhh!

Why don't they put duct tape over Saddam's mouth and cuff him to the chair? This kangaroo court system that the Iraqis run does not give you a warm and comfortable feeling that we're accomplishing anything over there.
