What does race have to do with opposing some ones policies or politics. When republicans and the public opposed the effort by the Clintons to make big changes to health care system in '93 was racism at play then. But now that the same thing is happening with a black president it is racism. When Democrats turned on Bush after the failures in Iraq, was it racism. But now that Republicans are hitting Obama hard on perceived failures it is racist. Come on, politics is sometimes a petty and destructive exercise. For any claims of racism to substantiated one needs real evidence, not supposition and innuendo. Republicans were just as hard on Clinton who was as white as they come. By such silly standards Democratic criticisms of former Secretary of State Condolezza Rice must no doubt have been rooted in racism as well, not to mention criticisms on the likes of Gonzalez, John Yoo, Clarence Thomas and co.

Gbam left, right and center. Sometimes one just has to wonder about the "high" quality of the kool-aid obamabots are drinking to be subscribing to these kinds of ridiculous positions.

I no know wetin 'Hollywood Hunks' do you sha? . First it was George Clooney, it is now Brad Pitt's turn to get some tongue lashing.

Lol, so-called hunks jare. I dunno what it is people are fawning over . . . 90% of so-called celebrity hunks are barely average in my estimation. Remove the money and glam and you & I would pass them on the street without looking once talkless of twice.

H2O2:
Lol, the Celtics have made a pact with the surgeons. Always blowing out a knee at one time or another.
Your players' injuries will prevent your team from doing damage this year - I guarantee you.

May the basketball gods put these kinds of ill-conceived declarations to monumental shame. Let the people say Amen .

I doubt Tony Allen would be consistent enough or as effective closing out games.

Dude, he's already shown he has! lol. Apart from injuries that've kept him off the floor.

[quote author=~Borat~ link=topic=383475.msg5440575#msg5440575 date=1265211120]Its always not entirely correct to compare players from different generations in any sport. Its not exclusive to tennis.

chic2pimp:
I beg to differ. Bar Nadal, this generation has produced only good players not great ones.

I agree in general this newer era has not produced competition like in previous ones, but I don't think the distinction is a damming one, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Would you say this generation of golfers sucks because Woods has dominated? or is it for the most part an indication of the greatness of Woods? If he were lesser, they would in turn be "greater" and I think its the same with Federer and his generation. It's not a one way street and neither is it completely 2way either.

Lol  my sister I wonder myself oh. I just had to ask lol.

H2O2:
Those shoes will be way too big for Tony Allen to fill. As good as he may be.

True TA is not the reincarnation of Paul Pierce but 4/5 seasons ago when Pierce was out for more than half the season, TA was our #1 guy and he filled the role remarkably well enough to garner some attention around the league . . . until he blew out his knee (the first of 2times) and hasn't really come back till this year.

  He has the athleticism and attitude, he can be a solid starter - not a superstar - but a solid player.

Yar’Adua: Zamfara recruits 1,767 prayer warriors •Pays them N10,000 each

Written by Muhammed Sabiu
ZAMFARA State government has recruited 1,767 Islamic clerics to pray for the quick recovery of President Umaru Yar’Adua.
Disclosing this at the 481- week Friday preaching in Gusau, the state governor, Alhaji Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, said the Islamic clerics would lead the special prayers in the 1,767 Friday Juma’at mosques across the state.

The state, according to Nigerian Tribune findings, will spend about N17.6 million on the prayers as each of the cleric will go home with N10,000 for the service rendered.

ROTFLOL . . . just when you think you've heard it all, Nigerians go a level lower into the realm of the ridiculously insane and suprise you.

I couldn't believe it myself so I went and searched a couple sites asides from fifa to make sure it wasn't a typo and lo and behold, we're really #15 . . . I wonder who we bribed and how much

JK, I hope your shoes are made of cheese and taste good cos you gon' be munching on those bad boys in a bit

please who is mentioning district 9

D9 is Avatars close rival for best picture IMO. D9 was pure genuis.

spikedcylinder:
It's possible because the Oscars can be a bit off sometimes but[b] IB is truly deserving[/b].

For where? Girl IB is not in the same league as D9 and Avatar. Brad Pitt's wimpy accent alone is enough to disqualify that flick.

H2O2:
Paul Pierce has a strained left mid-foot.

Lol . . . men Celtics cannot catch a break.

But this could be a blessing in disguise. You see what his replacement Tony Allen did? the boy is putting it up. I've been saying it for 2 seasons now, barring injuries, Tony Allen woulda been an All-Star by now.

I think this trade would help y'all a lot i really do. K-Mart is way younger, averages 22pts a night (is a more versatile scorer and doesn't live and die in the perimeter) and 4 rebounds which isn't too shabby and at 6-7 he is quite tall for a guard, if y'all teach him D he should match up well with Jamal Crawford (Celtic killer) Joe Johnson, Vince Carter, Delonte West e.t.c also there would be less reliance on Paul Pierce down the stretch[/quote]Ainge laughed off Ray Allen trade rumors yesterday saying management is not going to panic. I kind of agree with him, but something tells me, this squad will not be 100% come playoffs and we will need help to make it to the finals.

P.S: What is wrong with Josh Howard? As a member of the much vaunted draft of 03 He was supposed to be our answer to Lebron, D.Wade, Melo, Bosh e.t.c guess he'll never get there cos he is almost 30 already

Blame it on the weed it hasn't allowed him to think straight and put his mind and heart into the game. I know he's had injuries but still, the guy is playing below his potential.

Lol. . Avatar.mite.not.win.much. Only.best.art.directing.and.ofcourse.special.effects.

Best.picture.would.either.be.Inglorious.Basterds.or.District.9

Stop ruining my comedy moment JK

If IB wins best picture I will be shocked, District 9 I can certainly understand and even root for. Best picture is overall - story, effects etc. While Avatar may have lacked in originality of story, it more than makes up for it in the delivery of the story and everything else. It will win Best Picture.

Why are they even having the Oscars this year?

They should just bubble wrap all the awards, label them AVATAR and send them to James Cameron.

Any leftovers can be distributed between the rest of them.

This Renee chic what did she eat that has hardened her so much lol. I like the edginess and loose canon characteristic they have given her. Very nice compliment to Jack and I guess it was only a matter of time before they paired her up with Jack . . . but if they go ahead and kill her I will not be happy at all.

The CTU agents are very flat, Hastings being the flattest. The dude always hitting on Dana, don't have any other dialouge/commentary for him to recite? lol.

For full list, go to: http://oscar.go.com/nominations/nominees

I'm going to make a bold, unprecedented prediction, Avatar is going to sweep almost every category its in  

 The Blind Side is a such a great great movie, very moving. Sandra Bullock gave one of her best performances ever I think.

By the way, I haven't seen Precious (heard it was flat anyways), but who else thinks its in there among the nominees due to "Political Correctness"?

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=344420.msg5429364#msg5429364 date=1265064240]Lol simply put Ray Ray has been going through a shooting funk, it seems the Celts front office have noticed that the Big Three has become the Big Two and a Half. Rondo has outshone him so far i dunno who retrogressed more this season! Him or Jameer Nelson

The proposed trade would extremely favor the Celts! K.Martin is a talented scorer and Nocioni is versatile and would improve bench pts a lot[/quote]Its clear the Celts may need to make a move if they intend to go all the way to another championship and Ray seems to be the sacrificial lamb right now. Thing is shooters like him are streaky, when they're good, they're very good, but when they stink, they really stink. And since he cannot really offer anything else besides offense it makes him a serious liability. It'll be bitter sweet if he gets traded, I like that sucker.

The Sixers are one of the dumbest franchises ever! They refuse to give Andre Miller 8mil but can pay Elton Brand 16mil despite the fact that he has not been a factor. They should be trying to offload Brand and not Dalembert.

I would be trying to get rid of Dalembert too. The dude is a cancer and does not understand the concept of how a team is supposed to work. Talent will only get you so far, see AI.

CP3 out for a month or more and just may miss the all star game. Oh well New Orleans fans can always switch to the Saints

LOL @ that Rasheed's picture. . . .that never stops him from dropping the three's though. Ha! Ray Allen is definitely losing his touch when it comes to 3-pts shots.

RaSheed was on fire before he got injured and was out for that short stretch. He's slowly starting to get back into the flow . . . though early in the season he was simply horrible.

Lol    I watched it . . . for a grand, sizeable total of 5 seconds lol . . . I passed #36 ESPN on my way up to #42 Syfy to watch a re-run of the Matrix . . . for the 100th time.

  The should scrap the pro-bowl or make it significant by awarding the winning side some spoils like in baseball, the winning conference gets to have home field in the world series.

^^^ The Rasheed signing is working pretty good I must say. I'm too lazy to check the stats but he must be up there with Rondo in team stats in steals and forcing turnovers. He was VERY lazy early in the season but he's picked it up big time. Forget Sheed self, you see how Rondo and Tony Allen abused the Lakers? I was praying Doc would leave Ray allen on the bench and leave Tony in the game, the dude was on fiya - the W woulda been signed and delivered with a red bow on top.

As for Kobe, he came to retrieve the remainder of his dignity that was shattered on the parquet floor about 2yrs ago . . . being the generous people we bostonians are, we allowed him.

This is just power show boating I.e to let Iran regime know that they [US] can play hard ball if necessary.

I wonder how Iran will react? Support more attacks on Israel I guess or come out with some outlandish statement again. Or launch some half baked "long range" missiles.

They clearly have nothing in their Arsenal that can take on what the US have deployed. In other words, they have nothing that can show a physical show of force and presence.

Iran is a wannabe bully. Which is why they are working 24/7 with every resource to join the nuclear race.

I like this move from Obama. All that diplomacy was sorely misplaced Ahmedinejad. Enough of attempting to appease bloodthirsty goons with milk. This is the kind of language they understand.
