If you count speculation and apples/oranges as truth, sure ** -- NeilPatrickHoo 03/19/2016 11:23AM

Don't see how anyone can take issue with his last sentence. -- SixerHoo 03/19/2016 12:30PM

Can't speak for Tuck but I certainly have. What is it with you -- Hoodafan 03/18/2016 10:27AM

It's the resounding hypocricy, my friend. The right loves to nibble around -- WaxHoo 03/18/2016 11:23AM

Partially because military is such a big part of the budget but listening -- JohnHoo2 03/18/2016 10:55AM

Whoa! You suggest waiting around for pvt enterprise 2 fund pothole repair? ** -- WaxHoo 03/18/2016 3:53PM

With respect, your point can't be overly simplistic and remain valid. ** -- SixerHoo 03/18/2016 11:59AM

Coach K and everything about Duke basketball is the devil! -- Hoodafan 03/18/2016 12:16PM

Was it conservative running the Granny off the cliff ads? But I won't -- Hoodafan 03/18/2016 11:36AM

Those aren't conservatives. They're fools or folks with a vested interest ** -- TpkeHoo 03/18/2016 10:54AM

They would, of course, beg to differ on each of those points.** -- SixerHoo 03/18/2016 11:18AM

I don't know what the protocol is; I don't think there -- 111Balz 03/18/2016 10:48AM

Couldn't agree more. So let's just get the chit fixed ASAP and worry -- Hoodafan 03/18/2016 10:59AM

Had to do a double take. Hooda replied "couln't agree more" to Balz post :) ** -- JohnHoo2 03/18/2016 11:04AM
