One of our frequent flyers on the Democrat's side of this forum said a few months ago said that the Republicans were a sinking ship. It looks like that sinking ship just torpedoed the USS Obama. 
 
On the comic side, I had to turn on MSNBC and watch their late coverage and I am glad that I did not watch them during the actual counting of votes because watching them, I thought the Democrats had won. Then they had about a 20 minute discussion about raising the minimum wage and showed New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen after her "huge" 52% win as an incumbent in a liberal state and she was talking about pushing (yet again) for the higher minimum wage with her stunning 2% victory. 
 
HUH? It kinds of reminds me of the Cpl Hudson (Bill Paxton) in the movie Aliens after they had just fought their way out of the compound against hordes of aliens and he told a guy (and I have to clean it up for this forum), "Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events pal but we just got our butts kicked!!". 
 
Here's a tip Jeanne, your party had a super majority in both houses that the Republicans could not stop as they did not have enough votes to even filibuster in the Senate. You also had the presidency and that two branch sweep that was unstoppable... yet you and they did nothing. Well...... they did pass Obamacare which coincidentally is likely the reason that you just got smashed on what Obama a few weeks ago called, a referendum on his policies. 
 
The most important part of this Senate victory is not legislation per se because Obama will simply veto almost any bill sent. The huge victory is that Obama can get no treaties passed, no cabinet appointments and no federal judges including the Supreme Court without Republican consent. He has refused to compromise or even get involved legislatively. Now he is completely neutered unless he makes some kinds of concessions. It is also interesting that Harry Reid changed the long time rules and threw away the 60 votes required by Senate to bring something to a floor vote and used the so called "nuclear option" requiring only a majority vote to end any filibuster on nominations. We now he is faced with the fact that the Republicans will use the rules change to shove it right back in their face. 
  Oh yeah, thank you Obama for giving the Republicans the most representatives in the US House in history. Not even during the heyday of the Republicans and their contract with America did they hold as many seat as they will come January when the new Congress is sworn in.    And one last time, Jimmy Carter is so glad that Obama has proven to be the worst president at least in modern history as even Carter never lost the Senate until Ronald Reagan beat him in 1980 (he never lost the House even in losing to Reagan).    So much for that sinking ship................ 

ENJOY

Steve, it's my very strong opinion that if the republicans regain control, they'd do very well to remember why they do... economic problems, some scandals, and a dislike of presidential policy. if they forget that, and go overboard trying to push social agendas, we're liable to see another flip flop again in the next 4-6 years, if not sooner.

Hard to watch this one. Heard enough Cherokee last night.

BTHOByeWeek!!!!

Buddy, you have seen Neumann do this before. Every year he makes the best of whatever hand he is dealt. He and his staff do this better than anyone else around.

Hippy, you know the answer to this question...
My out of pocket deductible goes up a grand + a monthly premium increase. This on top of an increase last year. Lets ask another way... If our costs decreased by the same amount, who would you give credit to?

I think that he looks at the hand he is dealt and plays with those cards. In that I mean that he changes from time to time on what his personnel will allow him to do. If he has a big strong back as he has had several times, he will go with a power running game. If not, he will spread it out. I think that his staff might be the best as maximizing what they have to get the best mileage and not be tied in with "we are going to do it this way no matter what". 
 
In my opinion.

I just read the umpteen pages of this thread and I'm bothered about the poor sportsmanship shown by some fans from both sides. The boys on the field led by example; we should take a lesson from them.
Getting past that, this ballgame was classic MCM! Both teams gave it their all and Big Ned was the better team and victor last night. Great game and best of luck to the Bulldogs and our Indians. May we both have an extended post-season!

Its not just neumann guys. Yes he is the mastermind but his staff is incredible. Spell and Barrow, like neumann told me for story, are two best coordinators in texas.

Great game from both teams, I feel very fortunate to get the victory, I think coach faircloth is a good coach, I wouldn't be so quick to start badmouthing him, getting a good coach is pretty hard I know because Ned went through a lot before Coach Neumann came here. I think once the playoffs begin I think both our teams and Central have a chance to make some noise.  I know one thing this is the best $5.00 value (ticket) you can get anywhere

This HERO mess is a bad ordinance. It is bad for taxpayers, businesses and most of the general public. Tolerance is one thing... This whole mess is intolerable! I do hope the good people of Houston recognize this for what it is and right this wrong.

Spot on Hoops. I don't understand these guys throwing away millions of dollars by making extremely poor choices and decisions. AP is making too big a mess for Rusty Hardin to get him out of.

Wonder how the toilets can handle 106,000 people puking their guts up?

Listening to other radio station broadcasts just makes me realize just how good Gary Stelly and the guys are over at KOGT. The SETXsports broadcasts are better than 95% of professional radio broadcasters and they are volunteers. Maybe it's just being used to certain people.

Lumberton had some size and speed. There is no reason outside of poor coaching to be getting blown out like they have. 

What is this indefinitely business anyway?? I thought the precedent set was one quarter against a rice-type opponent?

My son is committed to Lamar. He attends Ozen in Beaumont

Congrats Bigcam! That is awesome!

No doubt PNG will take this. Lumberton should be able to compete with these teams though. There is talent there. Just too many undisciplined players. Not to mention coaching is questionable. Play calls don't make sense. Same defensive mistakes from week to week. Haven't learned enough from past games to be able to compete well against team like PNG this season.

I'll take the Indian win and a fat doe for sausage!

It hasn't dawned on anybody yet that soft pedaling these things so as to mollify a particular segment of the world has not worked any better than the apology tour did.
