The Saints Could Go Undefeated, but Should They?

Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 08:15:18 in Sports

“The Canonized Ones are giving me angina on a weekly basis. They worry me that they couldnt put away the Rams yesterday after clearly showing superiority in firepower and struttiness. C'mon guys, how 'bout showing up in the 1st half with a semi-serious game face. I'm just hoping St..Louis piled up the air miles because 3/4 of the DBs were hors de combat.
With the next game played in balmy, unturbulent Tampa Bay I'm hoping Brees will use the opportunity to uncork some mad numbers and get cocky for the upcoming game against the suddenly vulnerable Pats. If the Haloed Rumblers of Rue Boubon get past those guys it looks as if Dallas would be the only serious challenge to ending the season with perfect circles in the right hand column.”

“"Journalistically I thought ...joe wilson...a W.H. aide with no experience in intelligen­ce..."

journalistically you would have done a little investigating on the subject matter before blurting out what you were told to say by the bush W.H.

too bad you didnt have a lee atwater "come to jesus" meeting before you hopped the down elevator.”

“seems to me the best location to shoot a vampire series would be a few miles south in new orleans. face it ...its the only living dead friendly demcracy in north america. a foggy night walk down by the riverfront in the french quarter at 2:a.m. is the scariest thing i've ever done... and i lived there.”

“extra credit kudos to lawrence o'donnell for his manly , yet polite beat-down of ankle biter/cons­titutional scholar katy abrams yesterday on HARDBALL. this woman was nearly gleeful that her family was approaching their $5,000 health coverage deductable. whats scary is that when you throw in their annual premiums (i'm guessing) they have to pay out at minimum $10,000 before their policy kicks in (at what %?)...its amazing to me the measures the foot-shooters go to defend their oppressors­...gee...p­.s. mr. reich , i have long been an admirer of you... may god shadow your every step.”

Bluesue replied on Aug 13, 2009 at 09:20:06

“O'Donnell was amazing. He treated her with respect but pointed out the absurdity of her position.
I hope she never has a catastrophic illness or injury in her family because she'll find out just how limited her coverage is.

She mentioned she has an HSA to go along with that high deductible plan. Know why the insurers live the idea of HSA's. Because they're turning themselves into the place to deposit that HSA. Wellpoint got the feds to reclassify them as a financial institution. From the LA Times:

Health insurers reinvent themselves as money managers

The Federal Reserve
Board eventually agreed that the company's core insurance business could be considered financial services
. But what about its mail-order pharmacy and its program for managing chronic diseases, which was overseen by WellPoint doctors and nurses? Wasn't that healthcare?

WellPoint finally convinced the Fed that those activities were merely "complementary" to its main business -- financial services. It pledged to limit them to less than 5% of total revenue.

“i made comment on the resemblance back in the spring... my 80 y.o neighbor agreed...i­ts that lil abner look of innocent bewilderment of the simplest things”

Steamboater replied on Aug 12, 2009 at 14:14:38

“Jason looks nothing like young Bush. That Lil Abner look is a perfect play on innocence vs evil and not just opposed to of some of those evil vamps but the Fellowship too. Notice though how innocence suddenly can turn to an iron will of force when Jason's voice lowered considerably when Sarah told him Sookie was being held captive etc.”

“Now there's a job I don't hear about often---The Rhinemann Exchange. It was second or third miniseries after Rich Man, Poor Man. I got to work with Roddy McDowall, Larry Hagman, Claude Akins, Rene Auberjonois, the beautiful Mexican star Isela Vega, the aforementioned and fabulous Lauren Hutton, Rene Auberjonois, and, of course, José Ferrer as Rhinemann. A great gig.”

“joe, as a bay st. louiisian let me thank you for showing up immediately after Katrina hit and your on-the-mark commentary on the aftermath , although i didnt see it ( no power for 6 weeks). at the ole huffpo you'll get your fair share of red meat dems who unabashedly despise republicans as a whole and quite a few specifically.
after imus was let go at msnbc i fervently hoped you'd get his spot, because as I am a democrat i also want to hear the other side to get a well rounded informed view in order to form my own conclusions.
personally i'd like your show better if you'd rein in uncle pat when he morphs onto whatever that thing is he becomes when logic and reality escape him. while awaiting for a better tomorrow it would warm my heart for both sides of the aisle to back off some from the party line and getting their hands around the issues we all face as one. its hard to find a solution when responsible folks are busy pointing fingers and looking for irrelevant "gotchas"
good luck here joe...best wishes for ALL of us.”
