"No, GE owns NBC universalÂ…GE stands to make trillions over the decades cashing in on green hysteriaÂ…NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the weather channel are components of NBC universal"

Expectlotsof wrecks at Daytona. It's inevitable.
As far as the hockey, Canada is stacked. The U.S.? Not so much.

More AGW information: CLIMATEGATE U-TURN: cornered rat, Professor Jones, admits no global warming since 1995; and that if Medieval Warm Period proven to be worldwide, then (alleged) current warming not unprecedented. (Also admitting that there was a MWP in the Northern Hemisphere.) Claims his lost data is because he's an absent-minded professor.
[And try using tinyurl, Looking Glass, even just as a straightforward cut and paste and not imbedded.]

The events, I'm sure, are wonderful. But the fact that half of every hour is dedicated to commercials and of the remaining half hour 15 minutes are unrelated to sports action... talking heads, human interest stories, etc., makes it a colossal waste of time. I'll probably TiVo the snowboarding events and be able to watch ten hours of coverage in an hour and a half.

This is the express reason the Olympics are on a three hour east coast delay even though they are taking place on the west coast. NBC can squeeze out as much commercial time as possible by doing that.

Doctor Who writers and actors admit to trying (unsuccessfully) to subvert Thatcher government. Deluded f*ck thinks it was them speaking truth to power just like artistic antigovernment types in Czechoslovakia.

GT,
Yes, Thanks Larry for hoisting Bertorelli own his own petard. Did you know that www.americascup.com is replaying the video of the entire race every 3 1/2 hours? Watch some of it if you have the chance. The boats are AWESOME!

Thanks for the advice, but I don't like tinyurl et al.
Posters can't see what the link is.
Indirect linking has a better chance of going dead.
The full link permits the Internet Archive to be used even if the original site takes the page down.
I'm not arguing with Ace's right to limit line lengths. I'm happy to conform with that, because I'm grateful for the chance to post stuff here.

Dr. Spank,
Remember, the last time a catamaran competed was with Dennis Conner. The Oracle trimaran has a wingsail that was used way back in Conner's day. That wingsail is what made the difference this competition.

"Doctor Who ratings plunged from a high of 16m, when Tom Baker was the Doctor a decade earlier, to 3m and the show was taken off air twice during the late eighties."
So they failed in their goal. Failed so badly that no one even noticed. They also failed to entertain, dropping ratings by 80% and getting the show cancelled.
Geniuses, every one of them.

I love Americas Cup but they won it in court as much as on the water. Never a cool thing.

Lawra had a whole thread to remind you too. All is not lost. Just go out and personally buy a big bouquet of roses and either cook dinner or take her out. It'll make her feel real bad.

My current favorite: "Lightning related insurance claims."

Oh I know a lot of CPA's they are burning out already. People are so afraid of the IRS and their newly hired that even people who did their own taxes are now seeking assistance.
Ah, that is a sweet gift. She will really appreciate that. 3 and 6, tough years, demand a lot of attention. I think sometimes we women just want the little bouquet...sitting there, for us to look at. Makes no logical sense really but it's the emotion of it all.

And, Mark Martin rocks!

After a while, however, he felt he was working "as a slave for things I did not wish for or need," adding, "I have the feeling that there are a lot of people out there doing the same thing."
What brought him to his current conclusion? A three-week vacation with his wife in Hawaii, plus gliding trips to South America and Africa left him with feelings of guilt, he said, and the sense that there was a connection between his wealth and the poverty of the people he saw.
"It was the biggest shock in my life when I realized how horrible, soulless and without feeling the five-star lifestyle is," he was quoted as telling the Telegraph.
Since selling off some of his possessions, with lots more looking for buyers, Rabeder says he has felt "free, the opposite of heavy," which was the feeling all his wealth gave him.
All his money will go to the non-profit Mymicrocharity which Rabeder says he has set up to offer small loans to needy people in Central and South America, and to encourage development and self-employment in the region."
Why are all the liberals so guilty that they can't enjoy the rewards of all their hard work?

About that Rangers "marriage proposal"....the same thing happened at a Phillies game some years ago. The woman screamed at the guy, threw a beer on him, and ran out of the stadium. Turns out, it was staged by the team for kicks, the couple were just front-office interns.
There's a marriage proposal at almost every ballgame that I work. I hear the wedding march and I always yell out "just say NOOOOOO!!!!!".......
