I'm thinking that the Falcons are for real this year - that Matt Ryan is
something special. I was optimistic about the Niners chances this year, but
that optimism took a big hit after Sunday's game lol.

I have a huge bias against Florida teams...so I loved to see GATech do
that.

Have a great day....

I make 'em myself Yea we know better than to hold our breath on that one. It's like a cyle of enlightenment (however modest) and stupidity (however profound) throughout history.

Sorry, hit the hay early last nite, I was whupped.

I missed the end Sunday, I had to move some furniture or lose a bet. I've seen 'em p*ss away bigger leads though, lol, and they had three or four fumbles/interceptions in the few plays before I had to get to work. Atlanta teamsalways seem to choke up if/when they get to the postseason.

What really surprised and impressed me, though I didn't get to hear much of that game, was GATech holding their own so well against FSU.

Time to head to work, have a good one today.

I know, it was just a comment. Personally, I'd like to see them solve their own problems without needing us. It might finally show that they've grown up. Imagine that, the mother countries needing to grow up.

Exactly. You a Falcons fan (or a football fan, for that matter)? I'm still
licking my wounds from yesterday's tail whipping at the hands of Atlanta….

There's no final word on that. It's something to crack jokes about for years to come.

Lol, as they say, there just aint no way to figure some things. A person with a sense of humor is always amused these days.

The problem with that, poetic and satisfying as it would be, is that we are so interconnected it wouldn't or won't stop over there, especially when everybody that can (and they will out of self preservation when the madmen do so) goes nuclear.

The “memorial” prize in economics. Same as Paul Krugman, Go figure….

No biggie, when the rest of the world needs us to put out their fire, we should say no. After all, they hate us, until they need us. Next time, let's let them burn and look to ourselves.

Let me see about these Peace Prize winners, Mandela the guy who turn South Africa into a crime fest just for being a Commmunist terrorist with a wife Minnie who like to “tire necklace” her own people, Arafat the anti-Semite baby killer terrorist, the anti-semite Carter for his meddling in Iran to create a terrorist state and in North Korea to create a nuclear terrorist state, and Al Gore for being a certifiable nutcase with his :Gore-Bull waming anti-science. Well Obama is a loser amongst losers. I wouldn't be surprised if they give him the Nobel Prize in Economics next year for destroying the US economy.

Obama has decided that America must decline economically and militarily and the rest of the world agrees, and loves him for it. He is proud to be in their company because he is as virulently anti-American as they are.

Bruce – I hate to be pedantic, but almost 20 years since the Velvet Divorce, Czechoslovakia is no longer. It's the Czech Republic. I know you know that, but I'm amazed at how many people in both print and broadcast media continue to use the old name since we screwed them over the missiles.

Perhaps it's a throwback to the “Peace in our Time” reference and all those appeasement references, but a commentator as erudite as yourself shouldn't be making these basic boo-boos.

Nubile Piece Prize?

THE FINAL WORD ON OBAMA'S NOBEL PRIZE

What would have been more shocking than President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for not being George Bush is what the Nobel Committee would have done if he had lost the election to John McCain.

Google ApolloSpeaks (one word) and read about this very probable and shocking scenario for yourself
