It was already shaping up to be a difficult year for congressional Republicans. Now, on the cusp of Mother's Day, comes this: A majority of the House GOP has voted against motherhood. "Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote," he announced. Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has two young daughters, moved to table Tiahrt's request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers. It has long been the custom to compare a popular piece of legislation to motherhood and apple pie. Evidently, that is no longer the standard. Worse, Republicans are now confronted with a John Kerry-esque predicament: They actually voted for motherhood before they voted against it. Republicans, unhappy with the Democratic majority, have been using such procedural tactics as this all week to bring the House to a standstill, but the assault on mothers may have gone too far. House Minority Leader John Boehner, asked yesterday to explain why he and 177 of his colleagues switched their votes, answered: "Oh, we just wanted to make sure that everyone was on record in support of Mother's Day." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR2008050802999.html?sub=AR 3

Posted By: skywarrior ----------------------------------------------------------- High fuel costs have battered the troubled U.S. economy, and U.S. President George W. Bush is expected to again ask OPEC to increase output when he travels to Saudi Arabia next week. OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri on Thursday insisted oil markets are well supplied but added the cartel could pump more to keep up with demand. "There is clearly no shortage of oil in the market," he said in a statement. ----------------------------------------------------------- um, yeah...clearly...... 4

Posted By: Bookcat KSU Sports Forums I see us going 1-11 this year, whats going to happen is these non-conferance jokers ie: N Texas, Montana State will get the playbook Appalachian State used on Michigan last year. So regretably this leaves us with a one possible win over Lousiana-Lafayette and that is only if we catch them napping. We have talent but ron does not know how to put players in the right positions. 12

Posted By: Keith Richards So if my math is correct from the related article. Prince still has 4 years left on his original 5 year deal. (5 year deal, after 1st year an additional year was added automatically minus the 2 years he has been here =4 yrs left) I am all for giving Prince a chance. However how does the "new" AD think it is a great idea to reward Prince with an extension and probably pay raise after two mediocre at best season, marked with little or no improvement throughout the season. Let him prove he can win, then talk extension. 49
