    There's no way in hell. Bush continued upon the failures of his Reaganomic predecessors. There is no possible failure greater than the epic that lead us here (THANK GOD BUSH JR. LOST)

    I mean to say, I'm still thinking that the winner may come out of the Bruins-Canes series. The Canes are as hot as anyone (not to mention experienced), so I haven't ruled them out yet.

    Who else can you trust but the team that's there year after year...

    In seriousness, I'm thinking it might be the Bruins year.

    I have to remain faithful to my Cavaliers... hey, a guy can hope. Must hope when you live in Ohio.

    Lebron made his promise... but I'm still worried about the Lakers.

    Commented on:   End Poverty 2015?
    It's not going to get better as long as greedy capitalists own the world.

    The immediate "crisis" (thanks Reaganomics) will, through no fault of Obama's, end no earlier than 2010. There isn't anything he can actually do to IMMEDIATELY fix it like people want. Believe it or not, the system is embedded, and the system is deeply flawed. 20 years of Reaganomics is like taking six icebergs to the Titanic. And now we reap the benefits from a line of politicians that looked on while the pig-corporations got fat at the trough of greed. And now that the trough is empty, they've got to let off a little fat by making up ways to take away jobs so they can keep their profit margins at maximum. Believe me, this could have been prevented - but the system is deeply flawed.

    Fortunately, we are aware enough to know that continued nonintervention will lead to the Great Depression. In all seriousness, if there hadn't been a Great Depression, this would have been it - and our lives would be as bad as those who lived back then.

    My fear though is that we're not addressing the deep, hidden flaws embedded in our way of life. We're too afraid of "socialism"... but the corporations aren't - and they'll use it against us. Just like "communism" (which in reality, the communism we fought was dictatorship - the inane fear stems from the fact that if the population actually embraced it, that would mean the end of gung-ho capitalism - the end of extravagant profits. Never mind the improval of the average American life - the oligarchy running this country isn't stupid). There's a reason why AIG can still afford those bonuses... even though they claimed to be in deep doodoo. Why the auto guys could still afford luxury travel, payed by the company, while firing thousands of jobs. Why a company can close an American factory and open a equal one in Mexico. I'm telling you, this isn't about the market - it's about a deep flaw in the capitalist system, which is disguised as democracy. True democracy would actually mean that we wouldn't have been in this position - the wealth gap would not be widening.

    So even when we finally do recover, I can already see that my fellow Americans are still to naive to see that the corrupt underbelly of our "great" nation has exposed itself. Just because Obama "seems" like a people-guy on the level of Franklin doesn't mean he's not in the pockets of special interests... hence AIG's campaign contributions. A company in financial turmoil shelling out for a campaign? Something's rotten in the state of America.

    I really wouldn't be that surprised if the immediate "crisis" extends until 2011, depending on whether the higher-ups decide if they like Obama. Chances are they do because he's an "ordinary guy" who connects with Americans. So expect it to get better to the point that we don't recognize it as a crisis and Obama gets reelected.

    Steelers SHOULD win, but I'm not counting out the Cardinals. Veteran quarterback coupled with momentum... I believe we'll see a game. But I do like my defense better than my offense.

    The Cards' defense could be the key here.

    Really? A flying car in 2009?

    If anyone, it's going to be a Japanese company, as they're more quirky and open-minded. It won't be in the US because nobody is willing to risk the sure loss of profit. And are Americans really gonna allow this in the face of all this terrorism hubbub?

    No. This is not only a moral outrage, but a downright joke. Like these people aren't rich enough? The last thing I want to do is further line the pockets of these greedy bastards with public money. It's bad enough we have to pay for the auto bigwigs.

    Ok. If we keep picking against the Cardinals, eventually they have to come through, right? And never underestimate veteran leadership...

    Panthers = major disappointment, which isn't particularly surprising. The Cardinals...?

    Titans are done, predictably... I still think the winner is going to come out of the top two defenses in the East, Steelers and Ravens. But now the Giants have a much simpler road...

    I worry about the Titans. I think we're all nervously anticipating the game where Kerry Collins breaks down. Would they be willing to put in Vince Young?

    The Cardinals are no-shots, the Eagles aren't good enough, neither is San Diego.

    The Giants... well, they look pretty good, but repeats are rare. Still, never count them out.

    We have the Ravens and the Steelers, the top two defenses. A rookie qb and a qb who can show up in any given clutch. If Big Ben gets the offense going, the Steelers are a red-level threat.

    Finally, that leaves the Panthers. Who expects them to win? But, there's always room for a surprise..

    I'm tempted to not pick the Panthers because they're... idk. I'm feeling a Panthers vs. Steelers/Ravens Superbowl... so I'm gonna take the field.

    24-14 Florida... everything as expected.

    I'm not sure why people expected this to be a high-scoring affair.

    I think very few expected the Chargers to be standing here, but it's going to be a different story against a defensive wall. I think a large part of this outcome may depend on Big Ben... he must get the offense above mediocre.
