leadoff man aboard. Like when Scotts swing looks so level and pretty.

Quick first half. I feel like the world is gone tonite.

I'm watching mlb network for the first time. It is awesome. They were just analyzing Tex v. TB, and I learned stuff. They spoke of players I'd not followed. Unbelievable. ESPN is over 4 ME

Nice. How's JD been hitting recently?

I'm not either.

did the cubs get sold? yes http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi...0,2253874.story

responding to nonsense doesn't, I can tell you that.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) There are always exceptions to every rule and statement. but the 20-somethings driving a bmw, texting on thier Blackberrys and clubbing 3 nights a week, and don't have insurance, could afford it. A guy that worked for me fir that mold, mid 20's, I didn't offer insurance, and he and his wife together made more coin that I did. Drove brand new cars, went out all the time and took a trip to europe every year for vacation. but went without insurance because it wold crimp their lifestyle. And you have others who simply can't afford it, regardless of what they cut. yr. example sounds like the exception, quite frankly.

oh, you are right, that is marxist. Good job.

ugh, houndstooth.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) Yea, it's oversimplified. Of course it is. You think I'm writing a book? I'm just saying that he's a Marxist. It is what it is. Now if bat s*** crazy people want to go nuts on this, then they don't know what the real definition is. You said it well earlier when you said people get stupid over the definitions and it's sensationalized. It's a damn theory. It's much more than that. He believed the new industrial class, the proletariats, were the chosen people of sorts, supermen. After capitalism ran it's course, the working class it created would overthrow the government and make a workers government that would nationalize everything. After years under socialism, the government would no longer be needed, the perfect state of communism. But the importance is placed specifically on the proletariat class. He didn't care for farmers, peasants, merchants, middle class. So no, Obama is not a marxist. Much of the communist manifesto is documenting what makes a revolution possible looking at the French Revolution. The rest is spitting garbage about the proletariat working class. So no, Obama isn't a marxist.

Kap explain the tenets of Marxism and I'll give you a cookie.

sure.

even so "socialism" in marxist sense and the socialist democrats that arose in Western Europe are two entirely different beasts. (And in South America for that matter, though their dangerous socialist leaders have much more to do with Pero-type populism than Marxist socialism). But what does it matter, the important thing is the majority of people talking right now are very, very, very stupid.

QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 08:00 PM) It is also possible that young people without insurance are in that position because they do not have a job that gives benefits and thus cannot afford it. With the job market, it's reasonable to assume these recent college graduates go without health insurance not because they are risk takers, but because they cannot land a job that gives benefits in the year followng graduation. thanks, especially those who are possibly, trying to start their own enterprise.

I think I might make a caiparinha tonite.

are there big disparities in leagues? (I don't know if he went to a high or low a team, but in any one level could there be large disparities in talent level or park types)

people have such short attention spans now. In my day health care bills were 16,000 pages long written in latin and retranslated into greek, and that was afternoon entertainment. Birth of a nation was considered a short film.

that was like 60 napkins.

that sucks though, no one would understand the "jizz in my pants" song.

sounds american to me, what's the problem? Before who knows what restrictions he was under, also would've lost his job and had a Rovian scheme sent against him, perhaps getting Siegleman'd, not those forces have been marginalized and there's a push to know what happened. What's the incentive for those who could be blackballed from every profession they know unless it can provide some security. I've never really bought into getting paid for releasing info=false info. Many-a important stories have been broken by paying someone for the info (My-lai). Hell, we just celebrated when journalism was great! in Frost-Nixon, where Nixon was paid handsomely.

even if he was merely asked and said no, the fact that the audacity was there to try and manipulate my emotions after an event like 9/11 to further a handful of persons career, is enough for me to laugh at your justifications.

I'll watch it on my ipod
