Funniest one yet, rdcorso!

I just listened to Al Sharpton blame this on Bush for not fixing the levee system. How long has New Orleans been under sea level under this levee system? It didn't just happen during the last 5 years. Ridiculous.

Every time I see the "leaders" down here, I can't help think of Rudy. Like him or hate him, he was a leader when it counted.

I love how people will rob, steal, maybe even kill, but then they are hesitant to lie and evade rather than not tell the truth and outright lie. I call it Bill Clinton's disease.

The people of Texas have been incredible.

My God. Some people are just sick. Here I am suckered in by this guy, and he probably took this thing at gun point and got stoned on the way. Well, it did appear there were children in tow as well, so hopefully they can be saved.

I agree, that guy had obviously been through a highly, highly traumatic situation and was beyond exhausted, and this reporter keeps peppering him with questions so he can get his exclusive, when the guy was too tired to even think straight.

No kidding, never thought of it that way.

Again, I know humans are the priority, but how these rescuers can leave dogs behind is beyond me. I could never do it. Guess I'd make a poor rescuer.

I think I would've stayed on the roof with my dog. I know humans are the priority, but how can you leave your best friend behind? Sickening.

All I have to say is this is why I root for the Spurs. Everyone acts like Kobe has this reputation for being such a great guy, but I don't recall Tim Duncan or David Robinson being literally isolated from his teammates for a number of seasons. I'm not saying Kobe is guilty-I'll wait for the facts, if Kobe's lawyer lets them out. But when it comes to the NBA, Duncan and Robinson are the class of the league.

I can't believe they didn't call that foul on Bryant. I almost feel like he should be suspended for Game 7 but I know that will never happen. It's disgusting to think that the NBA is no better than the WWF, I knew going in that the Kings would have to blow the Lakers out of the water because if it was close than the refs would make the difference. And they did. The last thing I want to see is a boring Finals with LA again, the last 2 years have been a drag.

Everybody seems to forget that Colorado was defeated by Texas 41-7 earlier in the season. Yes, Nebraska got blown away by CU in their game, but the game was actually more competitive than the first CU-Texas game was. Luckily for CU, they got a rematch. And everyone forgets that in 1999, Nebraska was on the short end of the stick, where FSU had one loss and so did Nebraska, yet FSU went to the title game while Nebraska with their far superior schedule sat out. And you didn't see Frank Solich on TV comparing that result to cancer either. Instead, they just went out and beat Tennessee with class.

Looks like Lewis deserves to be a champion now, huh? Wow, what a knockout!

I doubt he would have that much food left over from breakfast. I'm sure he would've ate it all in that sitting.

That's hilarious. "Mother of all Jihads" is a classic!

This is disgusting. How can you be offended by the American flag? YOU'RE IN AMERICA!!! What do you expect? Fortunately on my campus people have flags hanging in classrooms, on car antennas, etc.

I'm sure the media will rake W over the coals for seeking his father's assistance, yet we all know if he used Clinton in such a fashion, they would be falling over themselves to praise W. I, for one, am comforted to know that he can call on such an advisor.

We have to take our time, unless you'd rather we'd just start firing missiles at random aspirin factories, or in Bushes own words, we can hit a camel in the butt. Let's let 'em sweat a while, and than take care of business the correct way.

They're proud they coined the term African-American? Myself, I'm proud to just be an American....of course, I guess I could call myself a German-Polish-Welsh-Austrian American, if they so desire.
