One of SabreSpace's own, nobody, is doing well in the voting. I had no idea he signed a contract.

Good point.

We did Motrin when RosePIe was teething. The other thing, and I'm not convinced it isn't hippie-mumbo-jumbo, is amber necklaces. Once of twice we forgot it and it seemed correlate. It doesn't hurt. http://blogs.babycenter.com/products_and_prizes/amber-teething-necklaces-do-they-work/

This popped up the other day and plays right into the conversation about the "hometown bubble", trust, and liberalness. http://freakonomics.com/podcast/trust-me/ One of the points in there is people that go to college tend to trust more, and people that trust more tend to be more tolerant. It's easy to believe stories about people you've never met. Once you meet these people, you tend to understand they're not some monster but normal people in different circumstances than you.

I have a hard time accepting "Sox" on that list. Maybe the Sabrez should get on that list.

CBJ is +14 in goal diff, Buffalo is -11. That helps a little.

I'm at 1995, two on the Sabres at +120.

No worries Hank, I'm just happy to be in after actually making a good bet. I know keeping all this straight is a chore. So happy, in fact, I'll put 2 on the Sabres tonight. Throwing bad money after good.

I'm not sure if you meant to write the same thing for conservative, but I think a better definition in a political context (or at least what I remember from Mr Sabo's Social Studies class) is "believes that things should not change". I think many "Conservatives" today are better termed "Reactionaries", where they want to undo changes. Everyone is a bit of all three, for what it's worth, just in different proportions. As for conservatism and tolerance, I understand where you're coming from, though. There are undoubtedly Conservatives that are very tolerant, most of which I'd assume fall into the Libertarian sphere. The problem is the "Conservative brand" has been co-opted by some intolerant folks and it makes it easy to paint all Conservatism with a broad brush. I don't understand why these tolerant Conservative leaders don't speak out against those in their community that are intolerant. (oops, there's that snark again, using similar language as is directed at Muslims every time there's an attack)

Nope, not buying it. Addicts should be put into the the most cost-effective prison the free market can provide.

I know this would be difficult, but it would be interesting to see how the house is doing. Actually, wouldn't it just be (number of bettors * $2000) - sum(all balances)?

The way this season is going, forcing a double bet on the Sabres on the last game if each week is a good penalty.

Those stats certainly show the team has been terrible for the last two years. Whether that's the fault of the D players is less certain; same coach, same talent issues up and down the roster (last year rookies and lesser players, this year injuries). I think the same system as well. It could be the players, but it could be other things as well.

Presuming you mean the movie, this episode of I Was There Too interviews several of the bus passengers about making the movie. It's a fun listen: https://soundcloud.com/i-was-there-too/speed-with-the-passengers-of-bus-2525

I think I can get it at the Walmart a few miles from my house (it has a horse parking area with a roof and tie-up post). If not there, anywhere along the 25 miles between my house and the Lancaster PA. :)

I think most people feel there are bigger system and structural issues and with the team than the players on D. Those structural issues could also account for those terrible numbers you're looking at.

Eh, the food is hit and miss.:) Shoo-fly Pie is much like pecan pie without the pecans. Meh. Jakey's Amish BBQ isn't terrible, but it's not as good as other places I've been. September Farm (technically Mennonite) makes some good cheese; better than Yancey.

I agree that it doesn't make sense from this reading. Maybe JJ think Republicans will move to the center to distance themselves?

Search for "Rob Ray goal", there can't be too many results.

Hang on, isn't America about the rule of the people and if you don't like your government, you should work (legally, of course) to change it? Or are you saying the government is good and if you don't like it, too bad? :) (sorry, the snark got away from me on that one)
