Stadium-Armory

I'm going to go ahead and make a prediction about the outcome. Despite all the rumors that some portion of the law will likely be thrown out, I think the entire law will be upheld by both Kennedy and Roberts, making it 6-3 to leave the law as it stands.

Trying to judge how the court will sway based on the line of questioning is often misleading, and I think it will prove to be so in this case.

You win! Good call.

**** 'em ****ers

yup, same story here.

:doh: any time you want to quote George Bush on history; check yourself before you wreck yourself.... This is basically a rip off of Immanuel Kant's Perpetual Peace, published in 1795. Now Kant was a smart guy, but kant had the problem that he lived in a time where their weren't many democracies to test his theory out on. Today we know better.

• The Mexico American War in 1848,
  
• the American Civil War,
  
• the Boer War
  
• World War I.
  

Overall I would applaud more democracies in the middle east. But I don't think they would be benificial for the United States near term. Democracies are stable, and they give the most rights to their people; all good things which in the long run would benifit everybody. In the short run however Democracies are messy and subject to being manipulated by charletons. In the short run a pan arab democratic movement could spell trouble for us interests and us allies in that region..

So while long term they are definantly adventagous; their will be challenges for us short term.

Hrmm... not sure what to say here other than I wasn't trying to rip off anyone. I think its pretty apparent that democracy for all is better for everyone (al be it maybe from a long term perspective), and that's all I was saying. Which is also what you seemed to say later on, so I think we're in agreement, no?

Its true that you can find an example of democracies that fight, but the point is about self determination in general. People(s) who have peaceful outlets for dissatisfaction are generally less likely to blow them selves up to make a political statment.

Great news from the middle east, and a huge deal for our security IMO.

Democratic countries generally don't fight one another, and generally don't product terrorists en mass. People who can vote out their officials have a peaceful outlet for dissatisfaction. Democracy in the middle east = safer world.

Just got my tickets to the Great American Brew Fest in the mail, Sept 16-18.

This is all you need to know about the Cowboys:

Even though I'm a dire hard baseball fan, I cannot wait for football to come back. I'm gonna miss the pre-season game since I'm out of the Washington viewing area.

Will the game be steamed on WTEM, though?

I believe that every single pre-season game will be on NFL network.

Did one of you founders ever work at MCI/WorldCom?

Back in the day (probably 2002ish), I went to a Wizards game and sat in the MCI/WorldCom box at MCI Center. Conversations turned to the Redskins, and a blonde haired kid who was in the box with us said he started a site called extremeskins.com. Ring a bell anyone?

Looks like this week's game against the steelers is being broadcast on NFL network. Fingers crossed, those out of the area who have NFLn won't have to watch on line.

Edit: At least it is in my area. Directv provides this for you to check your area, just put in your zip: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageIF.jsp?assetId=1100029

Sitting here with the laptop watching the freakin cardinals and steelers. Unable to figure out if there's a stream to watch. If there is, can someone PM me the info? Love to catch the second half.

Edit: nevermind, found it

Sort of off topic, but I checked the NFL network schedule, and they're replaying the game on Friday at 3pm:

3:00 PM NFL PRESEASON GAME 2009 NFL Preseason Game: Washington Redskins vs. Baltimore Ravens

Sort of similar question for me. I recently moved to Colorado, and I DO have the ticket from directv - but it doesn't appear that the televise all the preseason games. Is that possible? Is my best option to wait for the replay on NFL network? I want to watch the Ravens game, I'm so jazzed!

I think the burgandy jersey's are bad luck in Dallas.

Rebeca did some research and apparently that's what Coach Zorn decided.

Apparently he wants the players to wear white the first half to avoid getting too hot, and will start with the burgendy jerseys at home against the Cowboys. Have at it.

Uhmm.. I have no hard evidence to back this up. Only my ever fading memory. But we NEVER win in Burgundy against Dallas.

Don't get me mrong - its a great looking jersey. I own one. But we don't win in it.

This thread makes me feel good inside.

How do you guys even notice things like that? I guess I need a stylist.

nah, just an HD tv. But you probably need a stylist too

If we keep the current unis, how about thinner stripes on the pants? The wide stripes are so 80's. Gold-white-gold on the burgundy, and burgundy-gold-burgundy on the whites.

I for one would prefer anything 80's related to the redskins. Including the 2 trophies.

Not a major change, but we made the pants shinier last year. Didn't work for us though

I just saw on ESPN how the Cowboys team bus was egged on the way to the stadium by Bills fans. Love those Bills fans.
