I need a history lesson. Who was the last presidential incumbent beaten in primaries?

I never heard of "d Starnes"? If you were across from Dairy Queen, you were in the right spot! Sept 22-24 is BBQ on the river in Paducah, best weekend of the year!

It's downtown on Broadway near the river. I asked around and found out that d Starnes isn't related, but the bbq is provided to them by Starnes. It was really confusing. I ate at Starnes, with the sea foam green building and lunch counter style seating.

You need to come down to BBQ on the river in Paducah.

I'll tell you something I was confused by though- I couldn't figure out if it was d Starnes or Starnes I was supposed to go to. Ended up going to Starnes, but it wasn't easy.

Just got back and ate Moonlite, Starnes and Backwoods. Good stuff all around. Wish I had time to try more. Does anyone know the history of BBQ in Western Ky? Why is that part of the country so good at it?

Poor choice of words.

Someone will get set up and busted.

What's more likely to happen is that one of the "VIP" members of the site is accused of rape. It would come back on the site because of the faults in their vetting process.

Interesting stuff. In the tiers of online romance, this falls somewhere between Christian Mingle and Ashley Madison.

I don't think they need a state to mandate that. Teacher should have enough sense to know it's a bad idea anyway.

Any idea what's good in Mayfield?

Can't wait for the movie.

Are tickets still available for this?

Yeah. There are 8-10k tickets up for sale Monday morning at 10am on Ticketmaster.

Any of our friends from the western part of the state care to fill me in on the best places for BBQ from Owensboro west?

So correct me if I'm wrong... But basically what I'm see is that the UNC Pro game consisted of the following:

 

~Former players who are now in the NBA.

~Official UNC jerseys for both teams.

~Former players and coaches honored during the game.

~I don't know if Dean Smith coached one of the teams, but it's possible since he was there and was honored.

 

GOOD JOB NCAA :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

We don't know yet (and may never know), but it's being speculated that it has to do with Eloy Vargas playing on the Dominican team.

Oscar Combs is tweeting some cryptic things about the NCAA right now. Sounds like someone is pursuing legal action. No idea as to over what.

The NCAA's twitter feed also said something to the effect that "The NCAA is still working with UK on the event. More details to come"

^That Cousins/Vargas matchup in the post should be a doozy. :lol:

It's been a perfect storm to organize this. Probably will never happen again in our lifetimes. Lockout, Cal coaching the Dominican team, enough UK players to field a team, etc.

Also surprised this hasn't grabbed more national media attention.

I heard this isn't going to be on TV correct?

As far as I know it won't be. Kind of a once-in-a-lifetime event. I plan on being there.

No one mentioning this one yet?

August 15 in Rupp. Roster for the UK team is tenatively set as:

Nazr Mohammed

Jodie Meeks

Rajon Rondo

Tayshaun Prince

John Wall

Eric Bledsoe

DeMarcus Cousins

Tickets on sale Friday.

Please tell me I'm reading this wrong and you're NOT saying that was Beck's intent.

No, I'm not saying that. But would he even bring it up?

The point he is making that the youth were being politcally indoctrinated. Were they being indocrinated to hate Jews and take over the world, I doubt it? That was not the comparsion. The comparision was political indoctrination.

Young Democrats and Republicans decide as young adults to join, whereas, as I understand it, these were under 18 young people attending the camp.

When comparisions are made between a situation and the Nazis it is about politics, not death camps and world domination.

Were they? Do you know? Or are you just making an assumption? I'm sure if it was a conservative camp they would be hailed as patriots.

Again, this isn't about what went on at that camp. Dozens were murdered and none of them deserved to die, no matter what their political affiliation is. I just hate that Beck felt like he had to go there.

Based on their claim alone, they may, MAY have a case. But my question is this- what in the world does it matter to them? Nothing more than an attention grab.

So this is worse then the tools on Bill Maher's show comparing the Republicans in congress to Arafat and then saying they wished they were dead like Arafat? The hateful tripe comes from both sides but IMVHO it only seems to be those from the right that get slammed for it.

Maher is no better than Beck- partisan ideologues who do nothing more than incite furor from the other side. But you have to admit, Beck saying this was in very poor taste at best and at worst it was disrespecting the people of Norway and the victims of the tragedy.

Just when you thought that partisan politics knew no bounds, Glenn Beck comes rushing in with this gem:

Beck said the camp "sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler Youth or whatever. Who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing."

Good grief, man. Show a little more respect than that.

It's the typical American attitude that we want a balanced budget and to cut spending but we don't want it to inconvenience us in the least.

More like 30 years. One of the last true bi-partisan efforts.

It may have only been 10 or so. I wasn't including the time Clinton had a balanced budget and a surplus.
