There is a Quality Inn downtown on Monroe maybe? Madison maybe? It is almost straight north of Comiskey, downtown. It is where I stay when I stay at a hotel. It is a small walk to the el but not too far. If you can;t find it, let me know. You doing all 3 games as we talked? All 3 are available to you -

No, it just means he had someone read it to him!

You ignornat slut, the is the stupidest f***ing piece of s*** thing that any moron idiot has ever posted on these boards, asshole. :fyou

In my opinion, Le Nozze di Figaro is the better opera than Don Giovanni. Mozart's music is strong in both, what can you can say about Mozart that hasn't been said, the master at the top of the game in both operas and choosing between them is merely a matter of personal preferance. However, Da Ponte's libretto in Figaro is stronger than in Giovanni - the Figaro libretto flows far more smoothly than some of the abrupt jumps between scenes in Giovanni. And are we really supposed to believe that Anna overlooked the killing of the Commandante that easily? Yet, it cannot be doubted that Da Ponte's final scene in Giovanni is as strong of an operatic climax ever written. Oh, did I change the subject of this thread? Sorry!

They are in holders at every concession stand and gift shop. At the entrance to the Stadium Club. And there are always stacks and stacks of them on the bar and tables in the Bull Pen bar. Not to mention the vendors carry them and all you have to do is ask. We must have voted 200 times last year during all the games we went to, not to mention the on line voting. Steff, you do better than me and it would seem Molto - I always have a hell of a time finding all star ballots at Comiskey aka the Cell. Luckily I have four different computers to vote online from!

evidently Saddam was everywhere alive and seemingly well on Iraqi tv, from what I hear on NPR. Steff - your uncle, is he there?

I have been away from the desk and just got back and saw the note the camera was missing - I actually didn't look at anything myself, just posted the post I got off a law list. I am sorry if it wasn't as promised - maybe it was removed or something. Just one comment - one reason, one of many reasons, that I wished toi ehll that we had given all al Queda and Afghan prisoners the status of POW was, as we said at the time, it would be our enlisted personnel who would pay the price - it is not too hard to look ahead to have seen that our enlisted people were at far greater risk because we did not give POW status to those we captured - semantics about being "enemy combatants" or POWs is bulls*** when you know our enlisted people would pay the price of revenge, a price not borne by the adminsitartion that was making up bulls*** distinctions that you damn well knew others will not see when the time came.

Baggio - agreed he is sick. The ancient Aztexs used to cut the hearts out of the living losers of their sports matches - as the book of Ecclesiastes says, there is nothing new under the sun. But does it give you pause to see torture being recommended by others in this thread? It does me. I guess it is bad torture when "they" do and "good" torture if "we" do. Alas, there is nothing new under the sun. Thanks for posting that link - I hadn't had a chance to read the article yet.

Moore is a documentary film maker and he is entitled to earn his living - that he makes films about non fiction and social issues insead of special effects fluff s*** doesn't mean he can't earn a living by focusing on social concerns. But somehow I suspect that he makes less money in his entire life time than Haliburton is going to make on the contarcts being let out this week! And no matter what, you have to admit the line, "when both the Pope and Dixie Chicks are against you, your time is up" is pretty funny! And as far as dissecting the Constitution into what they agree and disagree with - I don't understand. Doesn't everyone? Isn't that why we have courts to render interpretations and have amended it through the years? I thought we had a lot of discussion from - ah, non liberals we might term that - on how they interpreted free speech and the right to assemble. Everyone tends to dissect - it is human nature and no one group does it more than other, or can claim any purity there that no one else has.

we do - the grandson is the best rapper, too!

a clip from a law list I am on (none of these are my words, I just cut and paste, but how interesting a perspective): "All the American tv networks have refused to show this Iraq video even though it is available to the rest of the world on Al-Jazeera and many European stations. CBC television showed most of the footage. You can see it at the following site: http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/03/23/priso...ers_video030323 Just click on the little video camera at the end of the story. It shows the whole CBC news segment CBC will probably catch a lot of s*** for it too. Excellent reporting on their part, even highlighting the refusal of the US media to show it to an American audience-- a rare criticism. Ironically, ABC evening news with Peter Jennings announced the president of ABC had decided they would not show the tape and 10 minutes later they had a piece with Ted Koppel who, lo and behold, showed dead Iraqi soldiers, one of their main objections to the tape. Of coure the American media has been showing Afghan pow's for months, shuffling around in their orange suits, blindfolded with their feet shackled. What a hypocritcal bunch they are!" The US media has been hyping this military adventure like it was a walk in the park, with their glorious soldiers and high tech equipment rolling across the desert. But as we learned in Vietnam, war is blood and death and agony and suffering and humiliation, and yes, it happens to Americans soldiers too. Surprise! Of course the media didn't prepare the brainwashed public for this little turn of events in their pro-war cheerleading, and the death of a dozen soldiers today and the crash of a helicopter in Afghanistan too, does not fit the script. Bad day at the OK Corral.

no - hope to get some news in the next day or two

What you added helps me see your point more clearly. thank you.

I take it you are unfamiliar with Moore's work. He was himself. I have no idea what his clothes cost him but then enither do you. Maybe he had $50 rented tux, or something from J C Penney which is Moore's general style. What difference does it make? It is my thinking that anyone who tells someone else to take a one-way ticket for expressing divergent views is the one who needs the one way ticket their own self since as boorish as Moore might have been, that is what America is about. No one stabbed anyone in the back. Moore did not stab my son in the back. Moore was a boor but at least he was not hateful.

well, Moore would be the last person to wear Armani or anything like that - he is decidedly not Hollywood - his integriity for what he said was 100%, Moore is no hypocrite - just not the time, place, way, or method for what he did IMHO.

The academy people told Em he couldn;t perform unles he "toned down" his performance. If you've even seen him perform Lose Yourself on tv, all it is a rapper walks outs, raps, and walks off. There was nothing to tone down. There are maybe 3 words in the song not suitable for network tv and tv is very good about blipping those and it is not as if the Oscars hadn't done that before. Give that "tone down" stuff for something the needs no toning down, Eminem (who wrote "Say Goodbye to Hollywood") extened his vacation. He had a represnetative there who seemed in shock Em won - if the Oscar folk had not tried to censor something that needs no censor and had not pandered to the antii rapper or anti Em bias, he would have been there. And it is the first time ever that I can remember that a nominee for best song was not performed. The fact that the Oscars have always presented something for a performance, whether the main musician was there or not, said something to me and made the win ever sweeter.

don't know about the cat (I don't remember that happening and I remember a lot of that seaon, it was so happy, I made a ton of money betting on Mets win and not Cubs in April) it may have happened but I don't remember - Santo tore that team apart when he ripped into Don Young - and they were arrogant all year while the Mets were hungry - always arrogant for a team that wins s***

Actually, I think it's 2 games CK be right --

ok I won't - I get so much s*** that sometimes I don't know when people are kidding - it was wonderful that Barbra Steisand announced his win! She gasped when she opened the envelope at which moment I knew he won and I started celebrating - Still can't believe he won, and I am also so thrilled for Adrian Brody's win in the Pianist - means more people will see that film, which they need to do -

no,. not related - just everyone who knows me personally knows what a fan I am and "that's my man" is a phrase I use a lot - and the one thing we have in common in the three generations of my family is Eminem - my Marine son is a huge fan and I know he'll be happy, his son my grandson is a huge fan because I am and his step father is a huge fan too - the one thing we all agree on and I know my Marine is going to smile when he hears the news about the Oscar win and he needs a smile right now - I could have posted that more cogently I guess but I was just excited -

Sure wish that would have kept George Murphy (before your time) and Ronald Reagan and Fred Thompson out of politics too! From Hollywood to the Senate to hollywoord went Thompson and no one b****ed on our side - everyone has a right to their views, even Republican artists who do politics and artists who are Democrats - but Moore's speech was inelegent, in your face, and not the right time and place. Class counts - and Moore is a brilliant film maker because he is brusque but that could have been contained tonight - I wish it had been. Brody and Almodovar showed how it can be done, as did others at the ceremony - style counts and class shows.

Reports of Iraq chemical cache 'premature': Pentagon Last Updated Sun, 23 Mar 2003 22:22:09 WASHINGTON - Stories by some media outlets that U.S. forces have uncovered a suspected chemical weapons factory in Iraq may be wrong, the Pentagon cautioned late Sunday. For everyone's sake I hope the Pentagon caution is right -

Oh yeah! And I'm seeing him in Detroit in July and going straight from the concert to the All Star things - it will be a glorious couple of days!

I don't give a s*** about any more bashing on Eminem - we can all knock each other's favorites but why? In this ugly f***ing week it is my moment of happiness -

I'm just a low class person -
