  • @davecoveney that is patently untrue. From the moment of conception, a new life exists, by every accepted definition of "life" (cont.) in reply to davecoveney #
  • @davecoveney primary evidence is self-directed growth. Even a blastocyst uses its own genetic information to replicate/differentiate cells in reply to davecoveney #
  • @davecoveney there is no "potential life"; there is only life. The only valid demarcation point is conception. Thus, contraception != sin in reply to davecoveney #
  • @davecoveney the key question, then, is "when does life begin"? At that point (and not before), the choice of the independent life matters. in reply to davecoveney #
  • @markjaquith that's SO much better than the WP kitteh! in reply to markjaquith #
  • @WordPressTV any idea why I am unable to oEmbed wordpress.tv videos? Are oEmbed-compatible (i.e. vidpress) videos tagged as such? #
  • @davecoveney I appreciate that, but existence of unique life at conception is biological fact, not "belief". ("Personhood" may be, though.) in reply to davecoveney #
  • @CrizzleColts what's that in response to? The 4th and goal from the 1 question on @18to88? If so: sad, but unfortunately true. in reply to CrizzleColts #
  • @nathanrice I assume you're talking about the psycho who shot Rep. Giffords? I assume the knee-jerk reaction was shooter was rightwinger? in reply to nathanrice #
  • Let's be clear: the guy who shot Rep. Giffords was first and foremost a psychotic nutcase. But he was NOT a rightwinger. #
  • @nathanrice absolutely. Now is the time to pray for recovery of victims, not to knee-jerk react. The full truth will come out in due time. in reply to nathanrice #
  • @LovinBlue no problem. Just trying to fend off the anticipated knee-jerk reaction. There will be plenty of time for that later. in reply to LovinBlue #
  • The Saints are the MUCH better team, but boy, are they playing stupidly so far. #
  • Riddle me this: #Colts place Hayden on IR; we're short a DB. So we sign a practice squad OT?!? I sure hope DBs Hamlin & Richardson can ball #
  • In case you don't believe Jared Loughner is merely a psychotic nutcase, I present Exhibit A: his YouTube manifesto http://bit.ly/dNpgl2 #
  • Former #Colts player Raheem Brock just sacked Drew Brees. Get you some, @RaheemBrock! #
  • Go Brandon Stokley!!!! #
  • Jared Loughner: Raving Lunatic - http://bit.ly/ifXdRh #
  • @_bexology why not? Have you read what he wrote in his videos? "Anarchist" sounds rather apropos to me. in reply to _bexology #
  • @NuclearMoose indeed. But my main point is that he's first-and-foremost mentally disturbed, not Conservative/Liberal ideologue. in reply to NuclearMoose #
  • FINALLY! An intentional grounding actually called for the QB being in the pocket and not getting the ball past the line of scrimmage. #
  • Waters just PUNCHED the punt returner when he was on the ground. Are the Saints really this dirty? #
  • @alistairjhogg perhaps, but it was a *punch*, with the returner already on the ground, on his back. Play was dead. Dirty move. in reply to alistairjhogg #
  • @_bexology wow. history proves you horribly wrong. Violence is inherent in left-wing anarchy. See e.g. Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers. in reply to _bexology #
  • @carlhancock me too in reply to carlhancock #
  • @alistairjhogg that was an Epic Fail on fourth and inches, eh? in reply to alistairjhogg #
  • @_bexology no, they want chaos, accomplished through violence in reply to _bexology #
  • @_bexology maybe the Bill Ayers of today, but not the Bill Ayers of domestic terrorism. in reply to _bexology #
  • Now THAT is a crap call. How do you not flag the Saints player who cheap-shotted 91 of the Seahawks. That's ridiculous. #
  • @NuclearMoose @lorelleonwp Sarah Palin had nothing to do with Jared Loughner's beliefs, decisions, or acts. in reply to NuclearMoose #
  • @williamsba yeah, until the fourth quarter :/ in reply to williamsba #
  • @Skitzzo @dozba but that doesn't fit the narrative of a flag-burning, commie-manifest-reading Palin-ite tea-partier. in reply to Skitzzo #
  • Should have picked that pass. #
  • Almost forced a fumble there, but a third-down stop works just fine for me! Go #Colts #
  • @18to88 it hit the goal line, which I assume after being touched by a player from the kicking team is automatically dead, as a touchback? in reply to 18to88 #
  • Run past the sticks, White! #
  • Welcome back, Dan Muir!!!! #
  • @18to88 I disagree. White catches that ball if it's on-target. But, I'd rather it be off-target than picked off. in reply to 18to88 #
  • @JMV1070 with the jumbo package, no less... in reply to JMV1070 #
  • Why not go for it there? You're already deeper than your last for punts left you. #
  • @LovinBlue I thought the same thing. in reply to LovinBlue #
  • That was a MASSIVE HOLD on Freeney on that RB dump-off. #
  • Thanks, Sanchez! We like 3rd and 12 better than 3rd and 7! #
  • @CrizzleColts @18to88 is that even called anymore? in reply to CrizzleColts #
  • Nice block by Wayne there, and White dives for the first down. #
  • There's Good Pierre!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 57-yd DB-burning TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!! Go #Colts 7-0 #
  • @18to88 did I see an uncalled block in the back that let the returner get back to the 20? Should have made him pay for running it out there in reply to 18to88 #
  • Sanders or Bullitt would have picked off that pass. #
  • Tryon with the first-half back-breaking INT! C'mon Manning. 45 seconds left. Sure wish we had all 3 timeouts left... #
  • @XL950 Maybe you couldn't pick Sanchez, but Tryon sure can! in reply to XL950 #
  • @LovinBlue or, take a sack... :/ in reply to LovinBlue #
  • @LovinBlue not worth the risk. We have more turnovers coming off of Sanchez yet tonight. in reply to LovinBlue #
  • @Shake1n1bake so who steps in as fifth-string Safety? Hamlin? in reply to Shake1n1bake #
  • @LovinBlue he tried to punch the ball out instead of wrapping him up. in reply to LovinBlue #
  • @CrizzleColts @18to88 just as long as the 3rd quarter OFFENSE shows up... in reply to CrizzleColts #
  • Saturday with a HUGE block on that first-down run play. #
  • Adam Vinatieri: right down the middle; nothing but net! #Colts lead 10-7. #
  • Cornelius Brown with the best Special-Teams play of the game (so far)! #
  • Angerer!!!!! What a TFL there! #
  • Hey, uh, can we spy the RB out of the backfield sometime tonight, maybe? #
  • Dom was NOT going to be denied on that third-down run! #
  • So, Cromartie can just trip Garcon? No flag? #
  • Contact was early. Should have been DPI. #
  • @toddsmith30 replay came after I tweeted in reply to toddsmith30 #
  • Here comes AV. We needed 7 here. #
  • @toddsmith30 don't know. I'm watching this one from St. Louis 🙁 in reply to toddsmith30 #
  • Taj Smith should have been nowhere near there, but the kicker flopped a LOT #
  • DON'T RUN INTO THE KICKER THIS TIME! (And thank you, Sanchez, for your inaccuracy.) #
  • @LovinBlue you know, I'm not? Merely *playing* this game is a bonus. That said: let's go get this win! in reply to LovinBlue #
  • Adam Vinatieri is MONEY from 50 yards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Colts lead 16-14! 0:57 remaining. #
  • Chris Collinsworth is a freaking moron. That is an incomplete pass. #
  • And THERE is the crap officiating call I've been waiting for all night... #
  • Manning had a 108.7. But somehow, this loss was his fault, and the Jets beat "Manning". #
  • @Skitzzo @justintadlock he was going to ground *during* the catch. By definition & by rule he must maintain possession all the way to ground in reply to Skitzzo #
  • @18to88 special teams and lack of talent in defensive secondary cost us this game; nothing more. If that KR goes to 26, not 46, we win. in reply to 18to88 #
  • @Shake1n1bake yep; exactly what you said. in reply to Shake1n1bake #
  • @18to88 of course, you said it just before I did... in reply to 18to88 #
  • @BlueMark18 @18to88 Taj Smith didn't end up hurting us. in reply to BlueMark18 #
  • @BlueMark18 yeah, he should have caught that. But, if DPI is called on the throw to Tamme, we probably score a TD, too. in reply to BlueMark18 #
  • @BlueMark18 @18to88 I agree & I'm glad. @TajSW10 has a great story, & I'm happy for him (& the Jets punter will soon get an Oscar nod) in reply to BlueMark18 #
