Coaching basketball for 11, 12 and 13 year old kids has been the most fun I have had in a long time.   Who needs golf or hunting....I would do this any day over that.  The kids I had this year have been wonderful to coach.  Going to have a pizza party/basketball game this week to wrap up a fantastic season.

That jet that crashed in south bend was caught on film. It was in a flat spin on the way down and the film follows it all the way to impact.  :spooked:

No link yet, but I will try to find one later. (If someone else doesn't beat me to it).

Yep. Actually that video is better than the one I just saw on local news programming. It was not a flat spin, but rather a nose down trajectory with no horizontal control. . .   :spooked:

Thanks Olias!  :smile:

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Wow! I had never head that quote from him before. So true!

It is indeed, quite a good quote, but I see it much differently than most of you do, I am sure!  Clearly, I see it as teh "fool and fanatic" he mentions as the leaders of this country we have today.

For instance, a fools way of solving problems we face today, like healthcare, is to legislate a random and careless bill as a solution. (such as Obamacare) and claim it as a legitimate and well thought out program.  Even though our very own speaker of the house stated that she did not know what all was in this bill, and we MUST pass it first, BEFORE we know what all is in it.  THAT is an absolute signe of a "fool or fancatic".  THEN, if that is disproven as an effective solution, and not realizing that there are much better ways of dealing with it are thrown out, the "fanatics" jump on board to defend it.

Yet it is the "wise men" (i.e. Paul Ryan) who study such problems from every perspective and comes to a conclusion that the most logical approach is to repeal it and replace it with a more reasonable solution.

Nonetheless, the complete and utter amount of "fools and fanatics" that have enthusiastically supported this current leadership with a reliance and eager expectation of "hope & change" that in my opinion, has been born from folly.  They outweigh the current minority of the well researched and "wise" men and women of this country.  Until a few of these foolish and un-informed voters realize the errors of their wasy, we we only THEN begin to heal this badly torn and divided nation.

How's that for 2 cents.

One of the limousines in Barack Obama's fleet has broken after reports that it was mistakenly filled with the wrong fuel at the start of the US president's visit to Israel.
