But NPR claims the CBO and the civil service are nonpartisan. Here's what someone who is a fiscal conservative states: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told Fox Business the CBO is "government bean counters based on government rules, not market rules. Never heard of economic growth."

This was the second college football game I can remember watching, the first being almost a year earlier when ND beat Alabama to end the 1973 season. I absolutely loved that USC game. The USC comeback was unbelievable: down 24-0 at one point but USC scores 35 in the 3rd quarter and 14 in the 4th...

Right there with you. Many times I had to start my 71 Dodge Demon by having it pushed and popping the clutch. Also carried a screwdriver in case it jumped out of gear--you could monkey with the linkage under the hood and get it back in gear. Back then I never thought a day would arrive when I...

A few exceptions. I never tried to reach the top speed of my 1971 Dodge Demon with its 3 speed slant 6 engine back in the days I was a teenager. Probably would have barely topped 100. As an adult, I was and still am too afraid to test the top speed of my 2 Porsches (160 and 161). Driving 135mph...

Yeah, AU has been down of late, and Alabama has won 5 in a row now, but when it comes to the Iron Bowl, those cow college boys have some sort of voodoo they employ against the Tide to win games they have no business of winning. The Kick 6 of 2013 and Punt Bama Punt of 1972 are just two examples...

I hear you. That's why I listed AU and LSU above TN. Alabama won 11 consecutive against TN under Bryant and won 15 consecutive against TN under Saban. What's really crazy is that between 1971 and 1999, Alabama never lost at LSU's home stadium, going 14-0-1 in Baton Rouge during those years. Of...

#1 Auburn #2 LSU

Hate hearing that. My 5 years at Alabama? 11-1 SEC Champions, national title 12-0 SEC Champions, national title 10-2 AP#6 9-2-1 AP#7 SEC Champions (with co-champions UGA) 8-4 AP#17. Bryant was basically dying by then and the wheels came off. He lost 3 in a row late in that season--the first...

Alabama? It's all about Alabama's QB improvement and improvements on defense. If Alabama gets improvements at both, 10-2 or 11-1 regular season and perhaps 2 playoff wins. The wild card is new QB Russell. If he's the next Jayden Daniels, then all bets are off if he starts playing a lot by...

Saban went 7-6 his first year at Alabama. DeBoer won 9 games his first season...but DeBoer had FAR more talent than did Saban. I cannot speak for Alabama fans, but for the older ones like me who lived through Bryant's last 5 years, then wandered in the wilderness from 1983-2007 with only 1...

There are several means of overcoming these violent protesters even after the protesters been given gas masks. You simply spray them down with fire department level high pressure water hoses. That will knock the masks off many of them and will discourage most all of them from moving into areas...

But how do I find it? I see only 2 forums, watercooler and this one.

Wow, Deathroll. I found that thread on your Watercooler site and I saw your collection. I am so envious. But my goal is to collect the standard semi-auto sidearm for every major WWI belligerent. I already own most of the long guns. It's just that I cannot make myself pay a fortune for the rest...

Got my Ruby semi-auto 7.65 pistol today. It's in excellent shape with a relatively low serial number (41276E) so I'm relatively certain it was produced between 1915 and 1920. However, it has no military markings on it, it's stainless steel, so I'm sure it was never issued to a French military...

OK, I mistook your Roth-Sauer for a short 1905 Mannlicher. Your 1905 Mannlicher is in really great shape. It looks a lot better than mine and mine's in better than "good" shape. That guy on gunbroker is at $67 for only 10 rounds, and all have stiff primers. I've been told 30 super carry is...
