that's what happens when you follow a team and begin to like the players. I'm not a big albert belle fan, but he was way better than Joe Crede. But I've seen 5 joe crede walk-offs live in my life. More than any other player on the sox. It's not really homerific to root for a player. That's why you watch baseball.

just tuned in. Didn't realize I could see this game.

Constituent services are more like using your staff to help constituents with bureaucracy, in addition to stuff like sponsoring students for military academies and the like.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Durbin really isn't that bad... and I've actually called on him directly before, and he's helped me out. Well, his staff, same thing. Eh, reasoning like that is why so many congressman get re-elected.

i must be the only one who remembers alan keyes vs. Obama in the senate race.

i miss lance broadway/green

haha that's hysterical.

not sure if any really would affect me that much. Jordan would just make me reminisce a lot about what he did on the court. I think if a president got assassinated it would affect me the most, probably not to tears, but it's such a symbolic position for our country, it would be the worst of it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) Not to justify this, but attendance and public service positions aren't exactly the greatest of partners. Our state is currently operating without a budget, and yet the assembly is out of session for 2 weeks. How much sense does that make? In regards to budget I agree, but there's something to be said for reps to have time to get back to their constituencies. It's not a two week vacation.

Our dept. of law is so wise.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) Depends, how do you define "policy"? He talks about generic conservative principles ad nauseam but doesn't really get that specific except to say that liberals are stupid. You definitely won't get it from Hannity either, he is a tool. There are other conservative hosts that actually do though. how hard is it to say "get rid of it"

my first post: "personally, I was excited that Aaron Miles had a shot and I hope he gets called up soon. Just wondering what you all think. I don't think we needed 3 catchers at all." jesus, yeah 3 catchers and they all sucked.

wow some of these are fantastic. Hammerhead Johnson has some incredibly ignorant posts (not baseball related)

how are you searching these?

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 6, 2009 -> 06:08 PM) Federer is...hands down...the best overall tennis player ever. Amazing some of the shots he makes. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/20/sports/p...?pagewanted=all

Johnny Damon freaking killed us in 2000

I normally feel like we get an honest, or rather accurate, read from our organization regarding player injuries - but with Quentin I feel the opposite. I'm going to be very cautious with my expectations.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2009 -> 03:32 AM) Someone would have to rig the election to beat her? Isn't that why Michelle Bachman is illuminating ACORN?

poor balta.

I love watching Federer.

A strong candidate for the GOP... like, she'd do well in GOP primaries? Pretty sure she'd lose as bad as Mousavi

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 05:09 PM) via TPM I liked the blog post about trying to explain Sarah Palin in 30 years to someone who wasn't there.

I too hate when people say "wait for it" I want a talking heads song. I like them.

I mean, he's from Nevada, we should've seen this coming.
