Early look at the NHL 2007-2008 Season

2 November 2007

Well, the hockey season is already one month old. There are several surprises and some disappointments so far.

The team with best improvement from last year has to be Philadelphia Flyers. They are currently first in their division.

The teams at the top of each Conference, Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings, are no surprise to be at the top. They appear to be the teams to beat.

Looking at the rest of the teams, it appears there is a lot of balance in the league. But who are the most disappointing teams to this point? Well, Atlanta Thrashers and New Jersey Devils in the East and Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks in the West. Their slow starts might damage their chances to get to the top. But, there is still time to get in the playoffs.

Another excellent novel about our favorite Clone Squad.

This story reveals where their true colors lies. Are they with the Republic, Separatists, or is there another side to take? Read it to find out.


Top US Conservatives and Liberals

2 November 2007

DrudgeReport has had a link to a UK Telegraph story on the Top 100 Influential US Conservatives and Liberals during the week of October 29. Today, the UK Telegraph shared the top 20.

You will be surprised who is on top on the conservative list. But, it is so obvious who will be on top on the liberal list.

Of course, one must realize these lists are complied by a British journalist working out of Washington DC. There are some individuals on both lists that would probably be ranked higher or lower. Or, there are some individuals who should be on the other list. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Although I may disagree on their rankings of the top 5 conservatives, I think the most influential conservative in America has to be Rush Limbaugh.

It is so obvious who the top liberal should be: BC.
