I'll take the Rangers purely because of reverse line movement and injuries to the ducks. I think the ducks are on the last day of an 8 game road trip too.

Tim Tebow and Jesus have never been seen together in the same place at the same time. Coincidence? I think not.
I'm super serious. Picture him with a beard, and long hair. It's the same guy. He's back!

The caps have had more penalties called on them than their opponents in almost every game this season. I believe it is now 12 out of 16 games. Also they always seem to blow the whistle at the most inopportune times. For example in the third period in close games, and overtime. The caps have had to fight off penalties in both their overtime games this year. Another good example of this can be seen in the most recent game against the devils, in which they had 7 penalties called in the 3rd period while up by one or tied. The game before against the devils, one of the games where we actually got more pp than pk, we had a penalty called in the first minute of OT.
Maybe my view is skewed because I'm a fan, but it seems to me if I went back and looked the past few years, the numbers would be very similar. We are middle of the pack in penalty minutes, but we always somehow get more called against us than for us Whats up with this? Am I crazy, or is there something there?

West Virginia (red) 3. Arkansas (red) 4. Kentucky (red) 5. Alabama (red) Americas Richest States 1. Maryland (blue) 2. Alaska (red) 3. New Jersey (blue) 4. Connecticut (blue) 5. Massachusetts (blue) 1. Mississippi (blue) Has had 55 democrat and 5 republican governors. I'd say thats blue 2. West Virginia (blue) Is ranked as one of the most democratic states in the US. They are 2-1 democrat to republican. They have had only two republican governors since 1930. The democrats have held a majority in both the house and senate since 1930. Id say that is dark blue. 3. Arkansas (blue) Has had three republican governors since 1874. They have had 48 democratic governors, and only 7 republicans. They have voted for a democratic president 33 times, and republicans 8 times. I'd call that blue 4. Kentucky (blue) Has voted in 35 democratic governors to 8 republicans. Presidential elections are always hard fought in Ky, but democrats still hold a strong edge here historically. Blue 5. Alabama- (blue) 52 democratic governors to 6 republicans. Although democrats have dominated historically, republicans have dominated recently. We'll call Bama light blue. I'll just stop there. It's obvious you are just making shit up at this point. Reminds me of some other BS artist I know. No wonder you are voting for him again. Moron.

Actually, what I am saying is you can't call a state conservative or liberal because they voted for one president or another. I was hoping you would be smart enough to infer that this may apply to other states other than Virginia. But yes, adding in a state that has a income averaging over 55,000 cant hurt. Also you said that the red states had an average income of 34,202. You have obviously changed the numbers to benefit your arguement considering that the state that had the lowest average income in 2008 was mississippi. They averaged $37,000+ in that year, or $3,000 more than you are claiming the average to be. This makes it mathematically impossible for you numbers to be right. Whats up?

Those stats, whereever they came from, are ridiculously flawed. Just because a state votes for one president or another doesn't make them democrat or republican, liberal or conservative. Look at the history of how a state votes for their ALL of their public officials, and a state like virginia, which was a "blue" state in 2008, becomes a conservative republican state. Add in the income from northern Virginia alone to the red side, and take it off the blue side, and those numbers flip. Your statistics are a joke.

Your card is weird. If you win two out of three, you are going to lose money. You should at least bet lower on that parlay. Just saying.

Yes, because the democrats in office all know what it's like to grow up poor, and live paycheck to paycheck. They are just as filthy rich as their counterparts.

Slovak, how many times have terrorists successfully attacked the United States since Obama became President? You got your sentence screwed up ... George W would have never done this because as we all know he is a retard. I never once said Clinton cut GOVERNMENT spending. He cut MILITARY spending, and moved that money elsewhere. Why do you think we have a shortage of flack jackets that bush caught all the shit for, and other essential wartime items when the war started up? These shortages lead to the borrowing that you were talking about. Think about it. Our government for almost a decade neglected spending on the military Probably a big reason that we were attacked when we were. They saw us as weak at the moment. At least as weak as we were gonna be for a while with a republican just coming into office. Anyways, there are reasons people in the military are mostly republican. A. They like having a job B. They like having bullet proof helmets, flack jackets, night vision, and the best gizmos available when they are fighting for our freedom, and our countries interests. Also, I am not a republican. I believe that our governments #1 priority is to protect its people. Our president is called commander and chief for a reason. Cutting military spending is pretty much going against his job title. I also believe that the government should stay out of peoples every day lives. We are "The land of the Free", but at this point there are so many laws to obey, and taxes to pay that are freedoms are quickly dwindling. For example. You can drive a car in america if you wish. It's the land of the free, right? To drive a car in my area, you have to purchase 4 different stickers to place on your car per year. This does not include the parking sticker I have to get from my city, to park in front of my own house. On top of that you must pay the personal property tax on your car every year, and you can't register your car unless you have insurance. You could be a millionare, and be able to cover any accident you could possibly cause, but you are still forced to get insurance. There is a loop hole of course. You can pay the state $500 for the right to drive without insurance. Who are all of these laws designed to protect? It's definitely not us the government was thinking of when the made all of these laws. Now the government has to have cops, attorneys, judges, and numerous other government officials to enforce these laws. God forbid someone be driving in the county with a red sticker instead of a green one. They will literally have a trial, with a judge and everything, for a ticket you received from a cop for not having a proper sticker. How do we let them get away with this bullshit? The government probably pays out $500 worth of salaries in order to give us a $75 dollar fine. And you wonder why our government is in debt. This is small scale example of the BS that goes on within our government. As you go up in power chain, instead of wasting hundreds, they are wasting millions, billions, and trillions of dollars.

The result: a war completely funded by borrowing. The Iraq invasion diverted our attention from the Afghan war, now entering its 10th year. When the United States went to war in Iraq, the price of oil was less than $25 a barrel, and futures markets expected it to remain around that level. With the war, prices started to soar, reaching $140 a barrel by 2008. Not only was Iraqi production interrupted, but the instability the war brought to the Middle East dampened investment in the region. Higher oil prices had a devastating effect on the economy. The result is that the recession will be longer, output lower, unemployment higher and deficits larger than they would have been absent the war. Maybe all of this borrowing had something to do with Clinton cutting military spending in half in his 8 years in office. Just a thought.
