  1. Dove, what would you think about HF being folded into Westbrook?
  2. "All" as in the Republican candidates or all in the Presidential race?
  3. Dunk-o-meter needs to be refreshed before the playoffs
  4. Hmmm- Interesting- the student body, many of the adults "acting out" and a number of the coaches who attended were all wrong? I wonder what made them feel/act the way that they did?
  5. And do you believe that Sutherland "knows" something that his successor doesn't?
  6. There was no freshman game the last time we played them but there was a jv team. Not sure what has changed
  7. I heard that many cant come because their knees have been damaged.
  8. PamFam10- is my memory failing or did you, not too long ago, declare that Hillary would be our next President and win said Presidency easily?
  9. Then you are admitting that it is only a joke? Kind of like Sara Palin saying "I can see Alaska from my front yard" when, in truth, she said nothing of the kind?
  10. Would you and Da Dove please elaborate. Apparently the two of your know more than most and I would like to hear your "insights". Or is it easier just to imply something when you actually are making factless conclusions that you want to be true?
  11. Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? Quite a comparison Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn't invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going. Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 60 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes... except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions. Do you need a side-by-side comparison? Well here's a nifty little chart. BERNIE MADOFF SOCIAL SECURITY Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a "Trust Fund" and made available later. Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts. Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians use it for general spending and vote buying. When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors. When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the geezers. When Madoff's scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won't give him any more cash. When Social Security runs out of money they simply force the taxpayers to send them some more. Bernie Madoff is in jail. Politicians remain in Washington.
  12. The geography component would suggest that either HJ moves as it did or Silsbee would move to the Jasper district.
  13. I noticed that the Houston School famous for its communications program has dropped back down again to 4-a
  14. Does dunk-o-meter need maintenance work before next game?
  15. Not 40 years ago. Mr. Manheimer played at Lamar for MIke Deane.
  16. Well, Dove, I guess he didn't come to Beaumont for academics, right?
  17. Are you satisfied that our current government is following the constitution?
