Jimmy Yancey story question on NTN was who was a great Chicago boogie woogie player and the answer was our Mr Yancy and NTN added he left the music business to be a grounds keeper for the White Sox - and lo and behold, here is the story!

Detroit was feeling very, very shaky about its pen and IRod was demanding this signing - just got finished reading about it in the Freep (Detroit Free Press) at lunch and since the dude was asking to be overpaid and Ilyich is turning his spending ways to the Tigers.... it was almost guarenteed it would shake this way

That scares me. If Joey is a new version of Wavin Wally, we are in for a long, long season

lost you sense of humor there huh? and it is only March... or are you disagreeing that God is forgiving?

Here is an interesting picture of Ann Coulter doing her research for her columns

and Michigan rolls easily into the seminfinals next week in NY for the NIT Go Blue! and go any other Big 10 teams still playing, mens and womens teams

rest easy at night, God is a very forgiving God!

Dear [cwsox], I love this country. That's why after proudly serving it for 34 years in uniform, I just can't sit by and watch much of what I've fought for slip away. I believe in the promise of America. I know our best days are still ahead. And I know that we need John Kerry in the White House to help restore the promise of this great nation. Join me today and pledge your support for John Kerry. https://contribute.johnkerry.com Over the past three years, we've watched George W. Bush squander so much that we've worked to build. At a time when we need unity at home and abroad, President Bush's policies have been divisive. This is not the time for reckless unilateralism in matters of foreign policy or national security. This is the time for an experienced, battle-hardened leader to put our campaign against terror back on track. John Kerry is that leader. He will win the peace in Iraq and fight terrorism around the world. The last few days, we've been raising money to help John's campaign in an effort we call, "Come Together: $10 Million in 10 Days." It's been the most successful fundraising drive in our party's history: almost $9 million in nine days. And why? Because Americans believe we need new leadership. George W. Bush has had three long years to take our country forward, and instead he's moved us back. He could have done more to keep us safe before 9/11. After 9/11, he took us to a war we didn't have to fight and distracted us from our focus on the most dangerous threat -- Al Qaeda. In the process, he has damaged American credibility, run up enormous budget deficits, and jeopardized our children's future. That's why so many Americans are saying, "Your time is up, Mr. Bush." So here's my challenge to you: send a donation right now to help me bring us to $10 million today. Send a message to George W. Bush that we're not going to let him play politics with national security. Give John Kerry the resources he needs -- today -- to stand up to the Republican mean machine and fend off their distortions and negative attacks. https://contribute.johnkerry.com I urge you to support him today with a contribution of $25, $50, or $100 to fuel our fight to take back the White House. America needs John Kerry. And John needs you. Thank you. Wes Clark

there goes my fantasy team (I have no idea what that means but other people say it and I thought I'd give it a go)

For that comment: You will not crack 10,000 on your next 15 NTN games unless you repent now

I need a fix cuz I'm going down down to the place that I left uptown I need a fix cuz I'm going down John Lennon

thank you!

thank you - you make the point eloquently

YAS, you are my friend and I like you a lot. Is this the same source that told us we'd see dancing in the streets in Iraq and be received as liberators? How many have died since? You are a good guy and a great Sox fan and even a wonderful person!!!! We disagree politically - so what, that is cool, that is America! But might I ay friend to friend that I feel seriosuly insulted and my aptgriotism challenged on statements like that. If you wish for me to respect your support of Bush, they you must respect that I feel as an American that America is best served by a Kerry victory. Disagree with me al you want but please don't suggest anythin g other than Kerry and I and all of us voting for Kerry ahve anything other than the best of love for America's best interests as heart and core of sole rationale for our vote. Please my friend.

make the sacrifice man, for the good of the team!

That is a disgusting comment that goes beyond anything decent in American political discourse. "If Franklin Roosevbelt loses this election, Adolf Hitler wins the election, its that simple." "If Jimmy Carter loses this election, Ayatoolah Koumehni wins this election, its that simple." When you equate support for a major party candidate in this country for what this congressman is saying, you ahve engaged in demogogry and the worst type of facism and established decency. For people so sensitve to equations, it is astounding. This congressman sounds just like Hitler's people in 1933 - a vote for the other side is a vote for [fill in the evil]. And boy you will scream about that, but you don;t see that it is your guy here doing that, and it is disgusting. Protrected free speech, but disgusting. But then it is people in thje park who bother you, not inflammatory and ridiculous and dangerous political rhetoric. How dare you equate a John kerry victory into a victory for Osama Bin laden - how dare you.

Thanks, to Crimson, someone who gets it

and produced by George Harrison...!!!!!!!

Thanks for your whole post Steff and for this comment which I make into a prayer! Welcome back by the way!

and this equating voting for Kerry as voting for Osama bin laden, Flash and CChaos and others who take me to task are silent - I guess better to make fun of people for peace than to criticise demogogues. To quote Controlled Chaos: Hypocrite.

You are very, very wrong. Very wrong. I hope you are invokinmg God's blessings on mmy active duty marine son and on all who work for peace on all sides. And the response to what you are wrong about has already been given in this thread by The Cheat:
