Goodbye Gump: You were a big reason why I became a goalie. I tried never to miss a game when he came to town. Mask....Gump didn't need no stinkin' mask.

Is it time for a government bailout?

I'd like to volunteer to host the first riot. Now, does anyone know a good caterer?

lbb, The song itself whether it be "Lift Ev'ry Voice" or "Another Saturday Night" by Sam Cook is not the point that I was making. The point is that for a song to be designated as "the black national anthem" is contrary to the doctrine of unity that Dr. King preached. Maybe I'll start playing the rap group Two Live Jews and their song, "Oy It's So Hummid" during the high holy days as my Jewish National anthem. Too many men and women of all races have died for this country's freedoms to be so devisive.

Howard's an idiot and it's his right to prove it. The American flag, Pledge and National Anthem should be respected but that's a personal choice. Many times I stood in the crease and sang along with "Oh Canada" yet luckily I'm not Canadian. Maybe Howard would have been happier if they had played "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" which is considered by some to be the "Black National Anthem". that's one that I won't stand up for because I find it to be a sad comentary on everything that Dr. King preached and stood for. I'm a rare conservative that believes that burning the American flag in protest is the highest form of free political speech. The 1st admendment does give us freedom of speech but it was placed in the Bill of Rights to make sure political speech was protected. Just try yelling fire in a theater or "BOMB" at airport security. To address what some one brought up about blacks not being considered a complete person in the constitution, that had very little to do with slavery itself. That's there because the slave states didn't want to give the slaves any rights but they wanted them to count as full persons for the purpose of being able to count them when it came time to assigning the number of delegates that the slave states could send to the congress. The free states wouldn't go for that so you have the partial person clause. Yup, America's a bully and to that I say...bully. I'm proud to be an American and I don't mind standing at a football game or anywhere that they choose to play it.

Before that it was French, before that it was Latin. In any language this is dum dum dum.
Correctamundo on all counts.

Historically the language of the international business world has been and is English. Having said that the LPGA is dead wrong here.

This is a sad situation that I believe that will never be resolved. It's not like you can cut her open and count the rings. Cheating has and always will be a part of the Olympics and that too is a shame. But can you imagine how He feels if indeed she truly is 16? Innocent until proven guilty is my standard. Do I trust the Chinese...hell no. I say pursue it until all viable options have been exhausted and then live with the results of the investigation. Being a sore loser is not the way to go.

Just another example of "the man" trying to keep the black vintner down.

At least I didn't say "gimp" olympics. And my momma always said that I was special.

The rules are the rules but this is a huge sack of crap. Ditto Qatarian.

Is William Shattner the new head of marketing for the Blues?
This is a great idea. Like Bo said, anything to put butts in the seats.
Kirk: Scotty!
Scotty: Aye Captain.
Kirk: Status?
Scotty: We've got no power play Captain. We can't put the bisquit in the basket sir.
Spock: Captain, it would seem logical that the law of averages would dictate that the Blues will eventually win the cup.
Kirk: If only, if only.
And as I've said for the last 40 seasons...THIS IS OUR YEAR!!
