Like it, love it…
I really appreciate the coverage you guys give to the Predators. They are in the story image rotation on the home page very often.
Just wanted you to know that it is noticed and liked.

I want to see the story about them movng.
Good morning
Poor old id, the Preds are keeping him from sleeping.
What did I learn yesterday?
1- I learned that chief will go to any means to get attention.
2- I learned that cheif loves verbal abuse.
3- I learned that even when chief steals someone comeback, he somehow makes it lame.
4- I learned the most simple of things to understand manages to fly over his head.
5- I learned when losing an argument, he declares himself the winner.
6- I learned that trying to bring logic to this simple mind is futel.
7- FOX News is THE place for news, "Fair & Balanced". Gotta hear from the same old recycled viepoints from Dick Morris, Karl Rove, Michele Maulkin, Ann Coulter, Beckerhead, Dana Pirino. In 11 months NONE of them have said ONE positive statement about Obama.
Breaking news.
President Obama meets his half brother Mark Ndesandjo in Beijing. This brought on a new round of argument from a screaming idgaf. "See this is proof that he is Chinese!"
No Predators story is complete without some zany Zamboni hijinks.
Once gd gets here we'll get the scoop, slacker.
If he's not too hung over...or in jail.
I completely concur with this LTE, and think it is the finest the NCP has ever printed. By the way, the Preds only beat the best team in the NHL last night...
Id, you first.
Who knew we had elected the first "President of the Pacific"? Go Preds, we are all very "Invested" in ye!
gd, did the rowdy bunch in the cheap seats have a chant for id?
You know the one...
No really Nemo,
Tell me what you really think about me. LOL
Frankly, I take all the criticism from you as an extremely high compliment, given who is issuing the criticism.
Thanks!
7 give it your best shot and say something "positive" about barry.
Idgaf,
Hey, he sent in the SEALs to take out those pirates! You have to give him THAT one for sure!
The LTE is about the Predators, stay on topic for God's sake...
I learned that D7 almost broke his truce with me and still I'm being nice. What is the story on Gibson Guitar? Who knew wood from Madagascar was prohibited? I sure didn't.
OK I'll say something nice about Barry. He looks good in Africian attire, Chinease attire and other countries' attire. All except American made dress suits and ties.
He looks fabulous in American clothes and Michelle has more style in her pinky than most women. And brains, too.
Funditto, I would agree with you except Barry hates America and is always saying we're a great Muslim nation and apologizing for my country.
Michelle wears sleeveless everything. That has always been taboo in certain formal settings (in my world) regardless of how buff your arms are. I'll admit she's pretty nice looking and most of the time, composed. I'll give her that. But she's no Jackie Kennedy and he's no JFK.
His brains may be there, but he lacks a boat load of common sense and I think common sense beats out any PHD's in the country.
I'd love to see him be concise and made one statement that makes sense for everyone in America. He is for the rich and getting richer. Not the middle class. He wants us all poor and depending on the gov-ment. It shows in ever "move he makes and every breath he takes".
He is watching your bank account and your internet (but he thinks China needs more internet freedom while he's setting up an Internet Czar to monitor yours and mine).

oops, error in posting; I'll stay on target G. I'm sorry. Preds are awesome and I love to watch them. Anyone want a Grief signed hocky puck? Or a 49'ers team signed football?
I don't know, maybe an intelligent President is intimidating...I think some were used to being smarter than the President the last eight years...who knows...
Thank you Sid, the Predators are on a winning streak and look solid. We still need another top six forward, I hope Poile will actually pull the trigger this year, rather than staying idle like last year.
Jackie wore sleeveless and I guess you haven't been to the Swan Ball lately. Maybe back in your day sleeveless was taboo, but keep in mind, this is the 21st century.
Yeah G, we get to go every now and then when my husband can stay awake. He goes to work at 6 and is tired by game time.
I really liked Bill Clinton. And I really liked George W. Bush, along with Kennedy and Ford. Not much of a Carter fan, but loved Eisenhower. He was a great general and commander in chief. Military experience says a lot for a man or woman in leadership roles. Even Boy Scouts are skilled leaders.
idgaf: Say something good about Obama?
At 46 he became the 2nd youngest President of the USA. (maybe tied w/ JFK and Clinton). You want this job?
Guy's parents both died at an early age, and he's mixed race. Still rose to the US Presidency. Maybe you favor the 4 black kids at U T who threw away their scholarships by doing hold-ups and shoplifting between games?
Obama's showing restraint w/ Afghanistan which a 8th grader can tell you is a loser, and didn't bomb Iran and N. Korea (yet).
And as sure as I'm sitting here in my Detroit Red Wings uniform, McCain and "Nit-wit Palin" would of gone in all three countries by now.
How's that to wet your whistle?
The thought of McCain in office with Sarah Palin a heartbeat away makes my skin crawl. And people would prefer this over a young healthy Harvard professor because......
I liked Clinton too. He was fiscally sound. I didn't have a major problem with Bush Sr. either. Never liked Reagan or "W". Never fully subscribed to the deficit spending theory...although we're getting a good dose of that now, which I'm not thrilled about, but I think the alternative would have been far worse.
Well, I'm not happy with a president who hand picks a General, then ignores him. Sounds like he doesn't know which way is up. He said "Afghanistan is a necessary war" and yet never said clearly "necessary for what".
And what war is really necessary? Did it matter that Sadam was killing many of his own countrymen and women? Hell yes it mattered and now he's dead.
But I digress. I don't have anymore sports knowledge to impart, so I'm off to a writing appointment.
Hey Sidney, does the 49'ers football have Joe Montana's autograph?
Funditto,
"He looks fabulous in American clothes and Michelle has more style in her pinky than most women. And brains, too."
Sorry but I have to disagree with you about Michelle's style. Showing up in blue at a Veteran's Day memorial???
I don't give a crap about hockey. They can take it back north for all I care . This is football country.
Gdia,
"Never fully subscribed to the deficit spending theory...although we're getting a good dose of that now, which I'm not thrilled about, but I think the alternative would have been far worse."
While I don't like the deficit spending either, I am not so naive as to think that it wouldn't help in this situation...IF the spending had been on something which would have helped us get out of the economic depression we are in. Unfortunately, I don't believe we spent the money wisely.
Now, we are, IMO, experiencing the alternative and from what I gather, Congress is considering another stimulus bill to fix the problem.
It would be nice to have more games during the day, on Saturdays.
If I want to go during the week, I have to take the next day off.
dooley, perhaps you might like a new sport I'm creating called: ''NASCOCKY''?
chief, I believe China is a bit nervous about our spending.
Why can't you go get a beer when the puck is in play? That's unAmerican.

Why is that bad? Clue me in.
Chief, have you been watching Sarah Palin this week? Would you really have preferred that she be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office? For real?
Slacker,
Considering how much they have invested in us, I don't doubt that one bit.
Funditto,
First, it was a memorial to remember those who gave their lives to defend our country. Everyone (as far as I could see) who showed up wore black in respect for the occasion, except Michelle.
Funditto, compared to Joe Biden who IS a heartbeat away from the Oval Office? Absolutely!
I'm sure you'd find something wrong with her if she wore black, too. Why do you hate black people?
Chief, it's not a depression. It's the inevitable conclusion of very poor policy for years. It's not like China suddenly started buying our debt since January.
Our prosperity was nothing more than a bubble. It was built like a house of cards, and until we rebuild with a more solid foundation, nothing will change.
Are you seriously arguing about fashion??
Quick, someone get Heidi Klum...we have a couple of potential judges for Project Runway...
Gdia,
Oh I agree with you, our prosperity was a house of cards and it fell. BUT I don't see where we are rebuilding the foundation at all...just trying to make repairs on what's left of the foundation now. But you're right...the bubble was inevitably going to burst.
Oh and I disagree with you...I do think it's a depression...a minor one compared to what we've experienced before, but a depression nonetheless.
Funditto, you can go get a beer while the puck is in play, they just won't let you go back to your seat. Last year, at the Colorado game, I missed about 7 minutes of the game because there was no whistle...by the time they let me go back to my seat I needed another beer!!
Funditto,
Now why would you say that? If she wore black, it would be in keeping with the tone and the protocol of the event.
Funditto,
And BTW, the race card isn't working...try another tactic.
The numbers don't agree with you Chief and that surprises me, considering how long it took you to admit that the economy was even in trouble. I suppose it's either "fundamentally sound" or in a depression. No middle ground, huh?
You also predicted hyperinflation. Did you get your economics degree online? lol
By: Funditto on 11/18/09 at 9:37
I'm sure you'd find something wrong with her if she wore black, too. Why do you hate black people?
It did not have to do with her race, you twit. Funditto was talking about her choice of mourning clothing. Black is and has always been the traditional dress color for mourning. People just know that almost inherently.
I didn't see her, but I figured she'd wear black for respect. I was wrong. How did that happen? I gave her too much credit.
In my case when my husband was killed at Wilberg, I wore his favorite color - RED! He loved to see me in red and hated me in black dresses. His sister wanted to wear all red, but his mother forbid her. Glad I didn't answer to old Irene; couldn't stand the meanie!
No, not Montana. Rice and Young, slacker.
gdiafante, can you wear white to a hockey game after Labor day?
Yes, especially if it's a "white-out"...however, aqua marine is a faux paus of the highest order and those wearing it will be shot and deboned on sight.
