Thanks for the kind words yourself! Thank you for coming on this site and adding your great insight. And if you&#039;d like to do that post just email it to me at alexkallimanis@gmail.com And yeah, I really thought the Giants would win that game beforehand-they had the WAY tougher road to the Super Bowl and were hot at the right time (ala the Steelers of 2 years ago). It&#039;s just unfortunate that those 72&#039; Dolphins still get to gloat now!! I still think the best Super Bowl was XXV, even though my Bills came up short. I think that was just as big an upset. Bills were 9 point favs over the Giants and they had won the AFC Championship game 52-10. They didn&#039;t eek into the Super Bowl like the Pats, they were dominating going in, plus the Giants played that game with Hostetler at QB. I was 12 and shocked and crushed that my Bills lost that game. Anyways, glad you stumbled on this site too Fred! Great to have you!

I may just take you up on it I am going to give it some serious thought. Further I see whatever our political party affiliations or however else the media likes to catergorize us at least we, Dan, yourself and I and I am sure many others do recognize this great divide is terrible and will be all of our&#039;s demise if we do not become united. On a lighter note, man do I love the Giants. And trust me, I disliked Eli. I loved how the &quot;D&quot; shut down the Packers and Dallas late in both games. However, after last night, I must say Eli proved his worth and then some. WOW! And the catch by Tyree, go figure. Alex, the delegate post would be a blast go for it. Your Friend, Fred P.S. I am so glad I stumbled across this blog all due to my quest for a better understanding of how a caucus works. Your a good guy Alex. I only hope the best for you.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alex, Thank you for your kind words and offer that is so thoughtful.

That&#039;s a terrible loss and I wish you the best during these times, and yes I&#039;ve missed your comments on this blog. Congratulations on the Giants winning the Super Bowl though. I was rooting hard for them too as I am a HUGE Buffalo Bills fan (sigh) and well, the Patriots have owned them of late and I&#039;ve found it very annoying to see them continue to win. I gotta hand it to Eli, he proved almost everyone wrong, including myself. Fred, I try to make the site more funny these days but if you&#039;d like to write an actual guest post about &quot;the greatest generation&quot; and your Dad I will publish it on this site end of Feb/beginning of March (I was going to start asking other bloggers and readers as my wife and I are moving then and it would be nice to have some guest posts on here anyways). If you do it I&#039;ll include your name and a short bio about yourself (whatever you want). I really respect what you have to say so it would be great if you were down. Let me know. Dan-Great to see you back too. And I totally agree, whoever the next president is needs to find a way to bring this country together more. We&#039;re so fractured right now. Anyways, all the best guys and talk soon. And hey, maybe we can start a new thread on the &quot;what is a delegate post?&quot; Let me know what you guys think :)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fred-I&#8217;m really sorry about your Dad.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope you and your Dad enjoy the game. I hate to tell you but I am a Giant fan. But we respect the long rich history of Green Bay&#039;s organization and their phenomanal fans. The Giant D really was smothering at the end. Regardless of the outcome, which you might think that is easy for me to say now, it was good old fashioned football at the great Lambeau field. Trust me Giant fans respect &quot;cheeseheads&quot;.

I hear in your words the respect you had for him. I see my father growing old, as I am, and hope to spend tomorrow watching the Super Bowl with him. We are Cheeseheads to the bone, but watching the game with him, even though he likes to kill the sound on the commercials (which just annoys the shit out of me) will be a good afternoon. We are all here for a short time. I&#039;m guessing I&#039;m older than you at 52, but feel a connection with you and others on this blog. We are all connected, all in this together, and without delivering a sermon, the bottom line is that we will all sink or swim together. We had better hope and/or pray for whoever wins this coming election...for their success as a leader of this country. We are in tough times, as I see it, and division will not get us out of this mess. After the election is over, I&#039;m calling on all to unite as one...the hatespeak is a luxury that, I say with some concern, we can no longer afford. Again, sorry for your loss.

Even though he was ill for a while, it still was a shock and quite tough but I am trudging forward. He, my dad, would have been irate if I didn&#039;t move on; he was such a special and unique person. Maybe if you start a thread of what Brokaw called &quot;The Greatest Generation&quot;, I can post his unique story and how strong a man he was. Well today is my first day back here and I just am catching up on this thread. A couple of thoughts and please excuse the brutal honesty. Fritz, you are a piss ant of a man. You are so clueless and self delusional, and bless Alex for banning your horrid, warped rants. Regarding your comment Fritz, about immature and &quot;sad excuses for Republicans&quot; I assume that was directed towards me since I have openly stated my strong affiliation to the Republican Party. If not me though, I assume you have the same sentiments for MR. DH. Well truth is told you my friend are in a bit of a quandary, my Republican beliefs are rooted in less dependence from Government, but on one issue mostly, I despise my party from trying to legislate morality. Government is not there for that and since most of these so called “law makers” from both sides of the aisle can not accept that the laws they legislate apply to them too, they should honor what our Country stands for which is freedom and independence, not abortion and gay marriages. Unfortunately Fritz you are such a fucking moron you will need someone will a marginal IQ to explain this to you. And while I am here, I have not forgotten my dear misguided Betty who sounds more and more like she is making a hostage tape for Daddy. Well Betty, although today is February 1, 2008 and I don’t have to wait to “Super Tuesday” to tell you that you are looking at Clinton versus McCain. Where is your bible thumping Huckabee? Grant it I am not a McCain fan, per se, but it is not because of the “morality issues”. In fact those are probably the issues that may make me vote for him. So chubby Betty, you take your McCain who thinks we should be in Iraq for 100 years or the “I WILL SAY ANYTHING TO EMPOWER ME” Hillary Clinton for at least 4 years. However, make sure you care for daddy and preserve your sacred obese body. Maybe someday when you are old an infirmed a mentally disturbed orderly will have intercourse with you just to satisfy a perverse fetish. Alex, sorry for being gruff, but I am sickened by these people. While you and I may never agree politically, I can guarantee that I am much more humanely aligned with you. Thanks for the time Alex, I missed stopping by. Sincerely, Fred</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Alex,</p> <p>I have missed your site for a while due to the passing away of my Father.

I like hearing differing opinions when there is substance involved, but Fritz and Betty, I am way beyond sick of both of you. You tools are now spamming my site with your garbage and that will not be tolerated. I will not have my readers who appreciate this site be turned off by jackoffs like you. Fritz you are a fucking joke, I asked that the debate here end and you deliberately attacked me and other readers on this site afterwards. You have shown zero respect for me from the get go so why in the fuck would I respect you? Bye bye Fritz, go annoy another website and their readers you fucking joke of a man.
