  1. I have advised Jordan4Life that the sig is way too big and needs to go I am not dealing with the child or near porn issues for now because I believe that Jordan 4 Life will change the sig because he is a good guy and did not mean to offend or annoy
  2. your avatar - I have a huge framed poster of that in my living room.
  3. first of all, the only source for saying Clinton was miffed as from Drudge, aka the Liar and Fantasy Report. So it surely not true. second, Lott Mr White Supremist was not welcome there, and that reaction could be expected. Frist would have been a better choice and his reaction would have been far different. Or send Sen Snowe. She would have been welcomed. Your getting all excited is kind of silly when it is based on a Drudge report. I have posted how I would have done it. What happens will happen since I am not doing it. If they politicise, there will be backlash. Your crying about Clinton' book and your obliviousness to the a political takeover of a funeral amuses me. Clinton does not need this to publicise his book and that sounds like the rantings of a right wing radio host. Clinton already has the record on pre sales. 1992, Clinton elected, Reagan greeted Clinton warmly and the warmth the other way was obvious. It has been revealed in other posts and threads that a lot of folks do not understand the friendships that transcend politics. This cannot be made into an either/or situation. Real life and and the real relationships extend far beyond the partisan fray.
  4. and here we have a winner in the suggestion of the day contest!
  5. If you dudes are looking to hook up, do it but not in the game thread, PM each other. If we are using the "gay" word as an insult, I respectfully and kindly ask once again we refrain from that. There are other words, and you are all good posters, lets use the other words. The fact that negative words are easily substituted for "gay" kind of hints we are using that term as an insult, and again, please, let's not. now that one works for me
  6. ask the Detroit Tiger opera singing hot dog vendor
  7. Jason is the brother who looks like Mark. John is the father. If you demand dignity, you will need pants with a jersey so I guess you get Chris Snopek's pants.
  8. we are four down, got them right where we want them another famous victory, another comebacker, coming up
  9. This poster speaks real wisdom. There are real deals if they have the right stuff out. Warren Newsom stuff they almost give away if they have it. A bud got an Art Kuyser jersey for little more than a song. And they are always surprises there if they have a good selection, like my $25 road jersey. Look through the racks

    Happy 24th PA

    HB and may you find a happy job in a credit union open on Saturdays....
  11. any particular jerseys you want? Other Sox memorabilia? Chris Snopek's pants? Autographed baseballs? A Bill Melton baseball card from the early 70s? I got a bit of everything. I have Jason Buehrle's autograph. (Anyone can get Mark, I got Jason, much tougher to get!) my grandson gets the bobbleheads but I have a ton of Sox stuff and the only other promised item is a jersey for Rocky Biddle's step mom. Or are you looking for cash? Stocks? better tell me where you inheritance interest lies!
  12. The funeral for Paul Wellstone (may he be eternally remembered) was not taxpayer funded. It did indeed turn into a quasi political event as those attending the funeral so close to the election did want to keep Wellstone's Senate seat in his honor, which he would have won had he not died so tragically. Minnesota Republicans were shut of nothing with Wellstone's funeral. The funeral services for a president and senator are very different. The state funeral for a president should be by definition bi or non partisan because the president was president of all the people. Certainly the incumbent is going to be most visible. As we have 2 living former Republican presidents and 2 living former Democratic presidents, they are the only people who know what is was that Reagan experienced and they should have visible roles in public mourning. [if I were planning the funeral, given there are 5, I'd let none speak, just be seated as lead mourners after the family. I'd have an eulogy by a family member and lessons read by family or close friends, Paul Laxalt comes to mind.) Certainly the family must be central as well. There is no question that Nancy Reagan adored her husband (and he her) and that needs to be recoignised. The funeral sermon ought be delivered by a clergy, not a politician, not a president, and any capable clergy can deliever a loving affection tribute for the person and their accomplishments - without being partisan - while preaching the Gospel that the deceased believed in. (If a president were a non believer, then the sermon by the spokesperson of her/his predeath choice.) I could do a wonderful job preaching Reagan's sermon, not because I am so great, but because I am a capable clergy. (Actually I am very good, and I do great funerals.) Take 20 minutes to remember his family, his personality, his acts out of his political convictions for his country as public service an example for all, and preach comfort and Resurrection, and there you are. The full trappings of a state funeral ought certainly be there. This man was a president. He deserves the honors at his funeral. Sing God of our Fathers (the National Hymn), My Country Tis of Thee, O Beautiful, a favorite hymn of Ronald or the family, me being me I'd toss in Lift Every Voice and Sing, and with choral selections from the military and the full panolpy of a state funeral and there you have it. That makes it a funeral for an American president and totally non political. If this funeral turns political, there will be a backlash. Certainly Bush/Rove will try and spin it with Reaganesque comparisons to Bush post funeral. If the funeral itself is politicized, it will backfire. The non taxpayer funeral for Wellstone got quasi political and backlash happened. Time and place. Always rememeber time and place.
  13. I am putting you both in my will tomorrow morning. I think Clinton was one of the best presidents ever (watch the howls come for that statement) and I have never it described the way cubsuck has but that is exactly right and I appreciate the fresh insight and believe me I will borrow that one! There were many ways other than economic that the 8 Clinton years were the best that I have ever seen in my life in this country. I can certainly critique his adminsitration too, no administration is perfect and his was not, but I so much wish he were still president now. Thank you cubssuck for sharing your thoughts.
  14. depends on what they have - some stuff isd wonderfully low priced and other stuff is whoa, sticker shock I wasn't at SoxFest in 2004 so cannot comment - SoxFest 2003 garage sale had a lot of crap because of All Star stuff taking up room but I got a great road jersey for $25. SoxFest 2002 garage sale was wonderful. All depends on what they have and who can tell that ahead of time. I am of no help whatsoever.
  15. David Lee Roth got me a lot of respect. 19-20 year old church emmebers would say, "You hear David lee Roth's new one?" and I;d say what's the name and they'd tell me and I'd tell them the words and were astounded I had the lyrics memorized aready! As long as DLR kept dipping into the oldies basket, I looked like Mr. Hip back in 1985!
  16. child, my child, you didn't know that? What I get for being as old as I am. The house where Sharon Tate lived was formerly owned by someone connected with Wilson, a producer or something, Terry Melcher I think (Doris day's kid?), and it was probable that Manson didn't know Melcher had moved and the Polanskis had bought the house. Thus they were the people slaughtered so viciously were accidental targets of Manson, the real targets being Beach Boys and their associates. Some of the Beach Boys had already had restraining orders on Manson or were at least on guard against him because he scared the s*** out of them. Why can't I ever make money with this useless s*** I know?
  17. those accusations were all discredited over time
