QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) No. He signed right up because he's a racial (and sexist), bigoted asshole. Thats what your side says about all conservatives. Why should Alito be any different?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 09:15 PM) yea, i really think they're nitpicking at this point. the Dem senators are just trying to show their "base" that they fought this nomination. Thats all........and they will fail.

As long as Republicans are running Congress there will not be any meaningful investigation. They will be busy investigating who it was that leaked word of this classified program to the press and rightfully so.

Add to that outdated and onerous pension programs which are chewing up profits. The company pension is going the way of the dinosaur and rightfully so. I say the 401K and IRA are more than sufficient to provide for ones retirement.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) Read the resolutions that were passed by Congress. "by all means necessary" is a pretty much blank check to do whatever he needs to do. Havent you read the fine print? "By any means necessary.........but we will still whine about it and try to score political points when we feel like it.

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 09:41 PM) At the same time, the Dems are offering nothing except cynicism, negativity, and back-stabbing. Not a way to "sell" any product, including politics. Let em keep right on talking that way. Let them continue the constant drumbeat of negativism. I want them to do that. As long as their entire message consists of "Bush Sucks" they wont win anything.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) Youngest member of the chat crew Wants to be the coolest member of the chat crew...........has no f***ing chance.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) Another positive day on the technical front. Stocks opened about 50 points lower and traded in the red all day today, but rallied in the last 10 minutes to close lower by a fraction of a point, but to stay above the all important 11,000 level for the second day in a row. This could very well be the process of starting to building a floor at 11k.... stay tuned. The January effect is in full effect. It was really nice to see the indices take a little rest today without any decline in the averages. Meanwhile, a number of analysts are calling for gains north of 20% this year.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) Very good news! Its been a REALLY good weeks worth of action for anyone with anything to do with the market. Heres to kicking off a fine year!!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) War of the Worlds was definately dissapointed and it was the worst movie I saw of 2005. The boy goes off on a death mission and everyone is dying but he managed to live somehow along with Tom Cruise and his daughter, make it real please. To expand on that for a moment how about the way that Cruise and his daughter find their way to the only neighborhood on the entire eastern seaboard that was untouched by the aliens and their death rays and that just so happens to be the one where his family lives. Totally unrealistic and stupid.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) Might Pass ss2k in posts once game threads start going again Has no chance of passing up the king of SPAM.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) I understnad what you're saying in that it's just 1 justice being replaced here, but when the court is basically sitting 4-4 with a notorious swing vote in the middle...replacing that swing vote with a person from either side could very well produce a massive ideological shift. If that was such an issue then your side should have worked harder to defeat Bush. To the winner go the spoils.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 12:28 AM) Bye bye Bears. ?? Are you implying that Carolina is going to beat us??

Yet another in a long line of washed up actors/singers who turn to radical leftist politics in order to draw attention to themselves. You're right Judd, most Americans really dont care what goes on in Venezuela or Bolivia or any other South American country for that matter. IMO Chavez and Belafonte were made for each other..........nothing more than left wing attention whores.

http://www.nhl.com/scores/recaps/624_2_recap.html LMFAO!!!! 5-1 spanking at the hands of the Preds at home. Looks to me like they're throwing another season away in search of a high pick. If they're not then they should be. I would just love to call out all the kool aid drinkers who trashed me at the beginning of the season for saying they were gonna suck this year but thats just too easy. I will say one thing though........... KAP, I dont take checks.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Makes really bad college football predictions. Needs a new Soxtalk handle.

I actually think its a good decision for Wirtz to not televise home games. If everyone had a chance to see just how horrible this team is he'd lose what few casual fans still show up.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 02:04 PM) Looks like the Bears are going to have to make Jake there b****. Again. Remember what DelHomme said after the last match with Chicago? He said something like........"I dont ever want to play in Chicago again." Guess what biatch. We're waiting!!

Eli Manning was exposed for the fraud he is today. 110 something yards and 3 picks?? He blows ass.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 01:32 PM) FWIW, there is a ton of poor white trash in LA and MS that manage their money just as irresponsibly. However, I don't see any of them playing the race card to try to pry money out of the government's hands. One of my biggest pet peeves is how some black people think their actions are above reproach due to their skin color.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) Did anyone get around to answering my original question -- that being if a person/family had a pre-Katrina mortgage on the house, would they still have to pay if the house was demolished? If that's so then they have somewhat of a right to be pissed -- cuz they have to dole out for that plus start all the Hell over again. Might be why some people are bending over backwards to defend their houses. Its called insurance. If you can afford a mortgage then you can afford to have it, especially when you live in a storm prone area which rests below sea level. There's no way these homes which are marked for demolition are going to be lived in again. They are just too heavily damaged.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) "BUSH IS AN STUPID." That's funny. Thats what I get for changing what I wanted to say in mid flight. I was originally going to say "Bush is an idiot" Being hungover sucks.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) One last point, why aren't schools like Minooka (Indians), Morris (Redskins), and other schools that have Native American mascots being sued? They havent gotten around to them yet. All they're looking for is a precedent they can use in future lawsuits.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) Unfortunately posting on a message board doesn't convey feeling. I did not 'snap'. I am not shaking with anger. Just providing my viewpoints and opinions. I respect yours. I hope you respect mine. We're all friends here.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) Just curious if there were any people here that are active in the stock market with stocks or mutual funds? Just wanted to get some opinions and have a general discussion about some stocks. Im involved with both. Most of my savings are parked in mutual funds but I keep a percentage in a brokerage account and trade individual stocks as well. I dont advise doing the latter unless you really do your homework and that involves watching a lot of CNBC and reading papers like WSJ and Investors Business Daily.
