  1. QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ May 24, 2007 -> 12:46 PM) I don't think it was as cut and dry as this. (a) it's a big country. we found bunkers we didn't know saddam had after we invaded. just because a group of 20 inspectors goes in and looks around doesn't mean they checked every possible place (B) they were never given enough time to complete the job. if i recall correctly saddam waited a long time before he let them in, and when he did he didn't cooperate fully. also the inspectors DID find weapons that were banned after the Gulf War the he said he got rid of but obviously didn't. The left can try to spin this all they want, but the fact was the majority of the world thought he had them. The best intelligence available said he had them. If you want to debate that the Bush admn tried to sell the war on shaky intelligence (my favorite was the mobile missile systems on semi-trucks), ok fine. But the evidence did exist and it was believed by the majority of the international intelligence community at the time. It wasn't fabricated like so many people think. A majority of the world believed there were WMD's stockpiled of some sort. A majority of the world did not subscribe to many of the statements the administration made to exaggerate the threat of Iraq. That is one of many reasons there was such a tremendous discrepancy between the contributions of allies in the first Gulf War and this one. The best intelligence also cast serious doubt on central claims paraded by Bush in the State of the Union and Powell to the UN.

  3. QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 24, 2007 -> 10:17 AM) Dont listen to them heads, I went to college at 135 pounds and quickly put on 30 lbs of muscle and topped out at 215 at one point. IM now a healthy 185. Im training for the half marathon. You are probably running too many days a week. I make my long run on sunday and rest mon, wed and sat. On those days I do lots of free weight and core training. Core training is a must to strengthen your back and abs. I'm going by the Hal Higdon and CARA program. Short runs Tues/Wed/Thurs with Weds progressively becoming a longer run. Saturday is the long run day.
  4. Yeah so I'm training for the marathon which means I'm running 4 days a week and doing an hour of cardio on Sundays. Obviously I'm not going to be bulking up as well, but anyone know what type of routine I should be doing to add more overall tone?

    The Sopranos

    QUOTE(Brian @ May 22, 2007 -> 11:10 AM) I also wouldn't be surprised if that is the last we see of AJ. Kind of like Uncle Junior, the last time we see him was sitting comotosed in a old people's home. Who knows. They show him falling down in a ditch or something like that while getting chased in the previews of the remaining episodes. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2007 -> 09:05 AM) Finally the one foreshadow that I didn't see anyone mention was the very end where Tony and AJ walk into the light together... Walking into the light, while both dressed in black.
  6. Ozzie's an embarrasment. I'm tired of this sh*t. Only he could make Mike North look like a genius. And only he would think Masset is best starter for Sunday. F*ck. This weekend sucks to be a Sox fan.

  8. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:15 AM) So far, you've labeled me as a moron, retarded, and that I deserved to be punched. And I am not the only one who sees it this way. Not makin' a lot of friends. Well put, both of you. Well, I'm sure you might be able to walk without drooling, but you really think the White Sox, as in the team, not the fans, biggest rival is the Cubs?
  9. QUOTE(YASNY @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:10 AM) I understand that, but it's the FANS that are doing the voting. That just might have something to do with it. Right, but that's my point. Fans are retarded.
  10. QUOTE(YASNY @ May 18, 2007 -> 11:04 AM) You nailed it when you capitalized the word FANS. That's what this is all about. Sox FANS biggest rivals are Cub FANS because of the constant antagonism between the two groups in the area. The teams certainly don't consider each other as the biggest rivals, because from a successful season perspective, these games aren't all that important. The FANS make it a rivalry. The players enjoy the atmosphere generated by the FANS, but that's as far as it goes. The question is worded like this...
  11. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:39 AM) Please prove that everyone, specifically the 37% you mentioned, who voted are indeed Sox fans. What makes you think a Cub fan didn't go there to spike the poll just to say "ZOMG, look how obsessed Sox fans are!"? I could go to their page right now and vote for Marshall to be the fifth starter. It's nearly 40% of those who voted. Yeah there's probably a couple Cubs fans who voted, but let's be honest with ourselves. There's a large contingent of Sox fans who still give a s*** about the cubs for some reason. Yeah, these intercity games are fun, but if you're going to name our biggest rival, its the team who has passed us by (and in some cases run over us) in August/September almost every year in this decade.
  12. If you go to chisox.com there is a poll asking who our biggest rival is. The leader, with 37%, is the friggin Cubs. Anyone who thinks the Cubs, an NL team we play 6 times a year, are our biggest rival deserves to be sucker punched by Michael Barret, then body slammed by AJ.
  13. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 16, 2007 -> 06:40 PM) Yeah, but we went through that here in detail a year ago, and I'm too lazy to go find the bloody threads. Armed Guards are more exciting anyway. Yeah, that testimony does add further confirmation of the law breaking, for those that care about that sort of thing.

    Wilco fans??

    QUOTE(watchtower41 @ May 16, 2007 -> 10:32 AM) I will say this though... "Impossible Germany" is one of the best sogns Wilco has ever done. Everything from the heavenly intro, to the subtle lyrics, to Nels' mesmorizing guitar solo..... amazing tune. Definately. That was the first song that really grabbed me on first listen.
