I never got the appeal of this game. Why not just spend your time learning how to play an actual guitar?

There are many better things to impeach Bush for than sitting around for 7 minutes during 9/11. Impeachment, as far as I understand it, is for a President doing something illegal, not for incompetence.

As a liberal, I've always been troubled by Bill Maher. He uses the same tactics of half-truths, word twisting, and condescenion that we criticize the current adminstration for.

Take his first interview with Ron Paul on Real Time (and I am a Ron Paul opponent). He basically twists Paul's words into "The Civil War was a bad thing," which was not what Paul was saying at all. A few weeks, later he has Paul on again and basically admits he wasn't listening to anything Paul was saying. I'll give him credit for apologizing, though.

I've been watching MMA since it's early days and consider myself pretty well-versed in the various techniques. I've trained a little bit myself as well.

jmzero is right, this was a very irresponsible match during the early, unregulated days of MMA. When I was watching the video, I was thinking, why is the guy holding onto that headlock? It served no strategic purpose in that position and will only drain him of energy in his arms and/or get him hurt. A few seconds later...

This match should've never happened and would never happen in today's UFC or even the more minor promotions.

To the person who said MMA is boring. That's your opinion, but I would say that to a trained eye, grappling is extremely technical and interesting to watch.

Actually, it's better, because it does work logically. He's poking fun at religion.

Actually the logic works quite well. It goes something like this:
1. God would never allow proof of his existence to exist.
2. Babelfish is proof of God's existence.
3. If God existed, he would never allow the Babelfish to exist.
4. The Babelfish exists.
5. God must not exist.

It was funny up until she slapped him.

Ron Paul has a lot of good "common since" ideas about most things, but there are some things I don't agree with. He says he wants to get rid of social security and Medicare, but I haven't heard his plan for what's going to happen to all of the people who rely on social security and Medicare. Private insurance companies are not the answer, private insurance companies are a rip off. I'm all for a working national healthcare system, healthy citizens = a healthy nation.

Insurance companies only care about making money for their investors, not providing care for their customers. Insurance companies should not be telling doctors what they can or can not do. When I was seriously injured in a car wreck years ago, my insurance company would only pay for so many days of ICU, so when that was up, I was kicked out to a regular hospital before I was even stable. Then they only covered so many days in a hospital, and once again when that was up I was kicked out. I didn't have any say in the matter because I was still in and out of consciousness.

It wasn't just my insurance company either. The accident wasn't my fault, and at fault driver's insurance tried to weasel out of paying for anything. I had to get a lawyer and it took over a year just to get them to pay their share of the bills.

Then to add insult to injury (literally) when it came time to renew my policy, they denied me. Nobody should have to go through that just to get the medical care they need. I'm sure if the insurance companies had any more control than they do, they would have just let me die so they could save money.

I think government does stick it's nose in a lot of things where it doesn't belong, but healthcare for it's citizens isn't one of them.

Totally agree here. His platform is the war in Iraq and national security.

You'll notice when the moderator asks him about getting rid of the IRS, federal reserve, CIA, FBI, etc., he immediately refocuses the question on security only. That's because he knows his libertarian platform of privatizing everything and relying on the free market doesn't ring true to most people. Even if it does, though, I have not seen a plan by which he will take all bureaucracies private while avoiding the collapse of much our infrastructure.

This is what worries me most about Ron Paul -- people hear the Iraq stuff (which I personally agree with), but don't hear the equally important stuff about what he plans to do with the federal gov't (eliminate as much as possible).

So while this makes Paul a nice story, he is not a candidate I would support, because his "classical conservatism" is so extreme. My vote is still going to a Democrat, for better or for worse.

CGI, I think. It's not a coincidence that the nike logo is clearly visible, right side up, and dead center right before the ball hits the camera.

"i love how i have no idea who was up at bat. they didnt describe anything to do with the game. thats why my dad always turns the tv all the way down and listens to the radio in synch with the tv."

I registered just to yell at you. It was a 1-2 count. Do you expect the announcers to tell you who is batting after every pitch? Also, this is a local NESN broadcast. If you live in New England, where this is televised, you don't need the announcers to tell you who's at bat. It was obviously J.D. Drew.

Jerry Remy is widely recognized as one of the best color commentators in the game. Never speak ill of Remy and Orsillo again.
