McNair let his kids down
Steve McNair did not respect his marriage; did not respect his children. If he did, he would not have been trolling for little girl trophies.
He made his bed; he laid in it and he died in it. His wife is lucky that the trollup didn't track her down and kill both her and the kids.
Still, regardless of how bad he [may have been], his kids still needed him to stick around and be there (even if it was on and off). Kids need their mom and dad. And he did do a lot of benevolent things for society.
Maybe it balances out. Who's to say? Parents need to wake up and be more considerate of their kids' lives.
Sidney Ames, 37013

Let the guy rest in any peace he can get./has.
Holy crap they gave barry the nobel peace prize.
They have to be kidding.
LTE sounds like a Woody Allen or Mark Twain quip, "Death is Nature's way of balancing out one's life's problems".
Whatever McNair did in and out of his bedroom was his business.
Like the LTE says, he did a lot of good for society, and I for one, don't know of his relationship with his kids.
In any case, getting executed while he slept is a horrific act he never deserved.
Now all anyone wants is his money. RIP, Steve.
Yes, the Nobel for Obama's attempts to stop the insane nuclear proliferation. Makes sense. I'm sure you're besides yourself Al Gore won an Oscar for perpetuating the global warming hysteria, too.
Great day!!!!
Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and idgaf is in a tizzy over it.
Right on, d7. Hey sid, how many truckloads of food did you send to New Orleans
after Katrina?
I remember an watching an old black and white movie when I was young. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was suppose to be in 1700 or 1800 France. I don't remember what it was about, but there was one scene that stood out. It was of a public execution and there were hundreds of people there watching as if they were at a sporting event.
One woman stands out in my memory. She had a fronr row seat and was knitting. Drool was in the corner of her mouth and she laughing with a witch shrill laugh and screaming, "Guillotine, guillotine," over and over.
Sid's letter reminds me of that scene in the movie.
"House": Today should be a homage to the Devil with Sid"V" getting one slip in.
I like the way she rants, denigrates, then "oh, by the way, he was a Saint", but he'll still burn in hell".
ps., your football pics are on file and you'll have to answer for them on Monday.
I stand by my predictions...even in the shadow of the gallows.
This LTE reminds me of an old saying:
clean up your own backyard before you go knocking on your neighbor's door.
I have bought fuel three times this week for $2.19 and twice for $2,09 with my Kroger card. That is a lond way from the $4.00 prediction Dragon made.
Obama's approval rating is still rising.
Good morning, Nashville!
Steve wanted to dance, he paid the piper. End of story.
Congrats, Sidney, you are now published.
Obama does not deserve any Nobel prize, IMO. He gave Bibi Netanyahu documents in May that reaffirm the US policy of allowing Israel to have an illegal nuclear arsenal without restrictions or transparency. Israel has been exempted from any NPT, IAEA or any other controls that the US demands of other nations. This double standard is part of the reason why so many hate the US and why nations in the region may be seeking nukes of their own.
Obama ditched the UN Goldsone Report,and he backed down on a settlement freeze on stolen Arab land., all at Israel's behest.
Obama is another mesmerized lackey for Zionism and as such he is a war monger - I'd give Libya's Khaddafy the peace prize before I'd give it to the snivelling, @ss-licking Obama.
And the value of the dollar is falling. Over 11% in 6 months
If China stops buying our treasurys we go into freefall.
My prediction for both college and professional footbal this week is that half will win and half will lose. 8-)
Where did my other L go?
If the major oil exporters ditch the petrodollar and go with the Euoro, the US will have to pay a premium for that black gold, the EU nations would get the discount, not us. The dollar will tank if that happens. An article in the Jerusalem Post a few weeks back, predicted the economic collapse of the USA and urged the Israeli government to find a new benefactor...the US is about played out, they say. They ought to know.
Hot off the presses...NASA's got 2 "probes" crasing into the Moon in half an hour.
Seems the Steven Hawkin types think we can find water there, so we don't have to transport it from Earth to the Space Station. That "brown acid" featured at Woostock has to all used up by now for Christ's sake!
The theory is, at the bottom of some of the deep craters, lie the remains of crashed comets. Comets are like dirty iceballs, although most of the water would sublimate, as the moon has no atmosphere, some water ice may be bonded to the substrate, through hydration...or something like that. A moon base would need lots of water.

I heard that yesterday Loner. My thought is that the US want be the big target for terrorist.
On the other hand China and the rest of the world economy could collapse when Rome falls for the second time. Dark ages here we come.

An porno shop.
Have you ever noticed that only Democratic presidents get the Nobel prize ? Wonder why ? Could it be that Republicans dont fit the mold with their maniacle agressive stupidity and greed ?
The lunar porno would be out of this world, Nemo.
Dark ages? If there is a nuclear exchange, things will go dark quickly. Folks seem to forget that China and Russia are allies of the Iranians, They are not likely to sit and watch the US and/or Israel
"obliterate" Iran, as Hillary vowed to do. Yes, things could go haywire quickly...and then there's the Samson Option - the final act of a tragic play.
Of course, Jesus would intervene at the last moment..... We'd be raptured out, right?
President Reagan ended the Cold War, he got a Nobel for that, right? Or did Gorby get the award? I mean, there were awards for that, right? I'm too lazy to Google it...I need my meds!
Hey, just had a terrific thought. As Obama was wavering on sending 40,000 troops to Afghanistan ( with was insane).....how can he do that now, after winning a freakin' "Peace Prize"?
Gorbachev won in 1990, but Reagen did not.
My opinion of the Nobel Peace Prize has been diminished...Obama talks peace while occupying US forces are kicking down doors, assassinating enemy leaders and filling the prisons with more "suspects". Meanwhile Israel gets a pass on its nukes, Gaza war crimes and its apartheid policies. The peace process is functionally dead; this incites more "terror".
I hate to say it, President Obama is a phony.....just like the other on-the-take posers who have occupied the White House lately. Barack looks good and is a smooth talker, but he kow-tows to the Prime Minister of the Jewish State. What gives?
That's easy, D7, those troops are there to establish and keep the peace. Next question, please.
If we pull out of Afghanistan then there will never be any peace. It will become a training center once more and Pakistan with it's nukes could then fall and then what.
Loner: Keep the "peace"? Have you watched what I watch on TV? The soldiers are kicking in doors to huts! The terrain is a cross between Kauai, the Big Island, and the Grand Canyon, minus the palm trees and foliage. There's 33 million people, in an area larger than Texas. The US cannot "secure" the region or set up a gov't that will kiss our ass. The al-Qaeda "terrorists" fan out into Pakistan and now India.
Are we going to go into those two countries too?
You and Nemo can split my last tab of acid.
I don't think that there is any way to secure Afgahistan. It will have to be the Afgahanis that does that. All I can see for us to do is let them them enter the 21st centure.
Wars can be won with education and not just by the swords.
Never try acid.

And Syd is soon to be inundated with hate emails from those zany Steve McNair fans.

Now that I have taken. lol
I bet SidVicious is fast at work, sharpening her nails, axe, and teeth, biding her time, luring us unsuspecting prey into her web, and will pounce any minute now.
Let the game's begin.
First we establish the peace, then we keep it. It's all in the euphemisms, D7. For example:
We don't "assassinate', we use "targeted killings".
We don't "occupy", we "keep the peace" and engage in "nation building".
We don't "invade sovereign nations", we do "regime change", we "liberate"..
We don't "torture", we use "enhanced interrogation techniques".
We don't have "prison camps", we have "holding facilities".
We are not guilty of "aggression", we do "pre-emptive war".
We do not "escalate" war, we "surge".
We don't have an army of "well-paid mercenaries", we have an "all-volunteer force.
Get the idea?
Maybe old Loner should apply for a job with the Office of Euphemisms, Acronyms and Mnemonics, in the basement of the White House. I need the dough...could I use you folks for references?
Loner
And employees "liberate" office supplies from work.
Yeah, I get it. I also get Obama is getting the USA back on track as a humanitarian country, not some cowboy network spiritually vaucous net-wits with a "Dead or Alive" mentality.
Spending $530 billion A YEAR + + + supplements is 100% complete insanity.
We don't use "reference" we do recommenddations.
Back on track? Looks like the same locomotive, same train. Destination: Armageddon. Charley stole the handle, and the train...it won't stop going...... no, she won't slow down. (Jethro Tull)
K-3: I once "liberated" a co-ed's virginity from her, but I think she knew it was happening at the time.

You think that will is bad. Wait til we hear from the three stooges.
CORRECTION
You think this is bad. Wait til we hear from the three stooges.
Loner, you forgot the "hearts & minds" thing.
