A double digit victory in Allen county for clinton and trump would likely indicate wins as it was one of the biggest swing counties

I didn't know that Erik Spoelstra was on the court as a guard for Portland the day Hank Gathers died. I think that must make him more cautious about allowing Bosh back.

Bosh is one of the league's best guys. I know Bosh wants to play, but it seems the organization is adament in its medical position.

Plus the Republican voter subterfuge, which benefits Bernie in the open primaries, is probably not as present at this stage of the process. Right wing voters are likely staying in-house with the GOP primary.

Thu May 5, 2016, 11:27 AM

It's what people do on a discussion board, sometimes in reaction to embarrassing OPs lamenting a lack of onions, and getting things completely wrong.

Perhaps you would prefer a board in which everyone agreed with you, all the time. You can find links to places like that, if that's your thing.

Or, you could just try saying, "Please don't respond to this," and see how that works. It's worth a try.

As you know Malcolm embraced Ali before his Liston fight. The NOI was stand offish because they were afraid he would get killed. Malcolm had faith in him.

It is sad the NOI forbid Ali from having contact with Malcolm after they banished him. Ali has said that is something he regrets.

H2O Man

When the NOI "suspended" Malcolm, the Champ invited Malcolm and his family to his Miami training camp. When the press started mumbling about this fiery "Black Muslim" minister hanging around, the promoter, MacDonald, threatened to call the fight off.

It was Ali's younger brother (Rudy, then Rahman) who got Cassius interested in the NOI. Once he heard Malcolm teach, he converted. He had joined the NOI well before he pulled off the great upset against Sonny Liston, in one of history's most intense fights.
