I was in Nam when the tragedy occurred so I didn't learn what happened in any detail until I returned to the States roughly three months after it...
A minor point of distinction. The troops were Ohio National Guardsmen. And everything I've read since then suggests it was a small (12??) group...
I had left La by the time he won his first term as Governor. But everything I read and heard suggested he always had his right arm in the...
It's going to be interesting to see where the bigger housecleaning takes place. NY or Philly. Oh, and diamondheadtiger, how did Manning trade...
:D
That line's an oldie, but a goodie. :D
How times change. The Democrats ruled La politics during my young days in the '50s & '60s. Although my parents and other relatives were all...
On a serious note, I don't follow La politics as closely as those of you who still live there. If he's that bad, how did he get reelected to a...
I spent 20 years in the Air Force from '66 to '86. During those 20 years most of the personnel I served with voted Republican. My guess would be...
I opened this thread expecting it to be about Earl Long. :D
Damn. Reading some of these threads and recipes makes me homesick. I don't miss the heat, humidity, and the mosquito's, but damn I miss the...
Hiring Hawkins was a mistake that started their downfall. Hiring an ex player (Embree) with very little coaching experience compounded the...
Red's brought his A game. I've seen him use Hoss & amigo in less than 12 hours. :D
That's an interesting point. I was born and raised in a small town of less than 3,000 people and one red light. I don't recall us locking the...
Interesting and thought provoking discussion. In my mind there are a lot of factors that contributed to the tragedy in Connecticut. The only...
I think Nick's time with the Dolphins quenched his NFL thirst. He's 61 and he's got a nice gig with Bama. That and 5.6 mil a year will keep him...
I'm an old fart who has grand kids who are attending school. Stacey nailed it. Arming teachers is not the answer. Put armed personnel in the...
I'm old enough to remember Bednarik's hit on Gifford. Gifford was out before he hit the turf. I honestly thought he was dead. He was motionless...
If you throw a pick and you don't want to get hit, head to the sidelines. Obviously having your head on a swivel no longer applies. How soon...
It's going to be hard to top the first one. I got home in time to see the last half of the 4th quarter. Hell of a comeback by Arizona.
