That's not million there killer, thats Billion, with a B.

Oh right. Its ok for people like Michael Moore to make films trashing the Bush Administration, its ok for CNN to hire Democratic Party hacks like James Carville and Paul Begala and say with a straight face that they aren't biased but let someone put out something that is negative toward a Democrat and everyone on your side starts whining. Gimmie a break.

Farve is nowhere near 100%. Hes banged up so bad he shouldnt be playing but who cares really. THEY BLOW ASS!!

That was sooooooooo sweet. I love seeing the FudgePackers get their ass handed to them like that especially since a couple of my friends are Green Bay fans. Now I can talk all kinds of mad s*** tomorrow. HAH!

First and foremost we need a solid starter. We cannot afford to do the roulette wheel routine next season or we'll bury ourselves again. A guaranteed loss every 5th day doesn't win you anything except 1st dibs on a tee time in Florida in October.

Robin was one of the biggest reasons I am a Sox fan today. Everybody loved him when he was here and I would love to see him be with the Sox in some capacity as a coach or something.

I have to live with a assclown roommate I totally despise but in January I'll have my own apartment. When I'm home in Chicago I stay with my folks.

I gotta go with the Blues Brothers. He helped save the orphanage & played a rock concert while being chased by hundreds of cops, rednecks and Nazis. He was the man in that movie.

Agreed. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Robin's time in Chicago has come and gone. We all loved him when he was here and he provided plenty of thrills and great memories for us but we need to let go.

Theres a reason why we have the electoral college. Is to keep 3 or 4 states from deciding every election. The thing to do, and I've already outlined this, is replace the winner take all way the states have it now and award each electoral vote to the winner of that congressional district and the 2 senators go to the overall state winner.

Look whos talking about post count......spammer!

LOL Yeah, if she did then she'd get to vote twice.

Cant do it now but when I make it back we need to go to Buds with Guido and throw back a few. Meanwhile.......YOU'RE 30 AND IM NOT HAHA!!! :finger :finger

Gotta go for the Stros. They are the comeback story of the season and Id love to see em go all the way.

That was one of the sorriest moments in White Sox history and a true turning point for the worse in this organization. I have pointed to that many times.

You do get a little say in where you go but its based on where the Army needs people in your job and rank. The best thing to do is to get a hold of your branch manager and talk to him and see whats available otherwise they just pick for you.

Nearly all married soldiers dont get to bring their wives over here. Its that whole "we're technically still at war" thing. People who are dumb enough to marry a local move off post into their own apartment and live with their better half. It sucks for the married guys though cause thats a whole year away from their wife unless they take vacation time while they're here.

My building is almost exactly like a college dorm. I live with another Sergeant in a pretty reasonably sized room. There's a large laundry room downstairs, & 3 other TV rooms although I have my own TV that gets like 5 english speaking channels Including Fox News ( YES!! ) ( I could get more but I dont want to pay for it ). I brought my own laptop and pay 40 bucks a month to some contractor here ( No its not a subsidiary of Halliburton ) for cable internet. I live on the base here, I could eat in the mess hall for nothing but it sucks so most of the time I either buy my own stuff ( theres a grocery store here ), eat at the food court ( popeyes chicken, a pizza place and a sub sandwich place ) or go to the Generals Mess which is a really kick ass restaurant that Id stack up against at least half the restaruants in Chicago and only costs 2 & a quarter a meal. What they serve depends on what day it is, a specialty thing. This is a sharp contrast to life on a stateside base. For a sergeant like me I would get money to rent my own apartment & buy my own food. Amounts vary and its based on your zip code.

I really cant say for certain. I haven't been in country over there for better than a year now.

Time now is 12:25 AM Monday Morning 14 hours ahead of CST but I keep my laptop clock on Central time so when I want to call or Instant message people I know when to find them. Location: Army installation in the Seoul suburb of Uijeongbu S. Korea Time till I'm done here and get re-assigned: 59 days and counting. S. Korea. A land that where built up urban areas never seem to end. Chalk that up to this being just another overcrowded Asian country. The climate here is almost identical to that of Chicago save for the fact that it rains for about a month straight in the summer during monsoon season. I never picked up a lick of Korean and dont really care to either. We spend a lot of time here out doing training and when we're back here there's nothing to do but drink in s***ty "lets overcharge the s*** out of these soldiers for watered down drinks" bars where waitresses from the Phillipenes, Russia and S. Korea try desperately to sucker some soldier into marrying her so she can get a free trip to America ( sadly some dumbass guys fall for it ). What do I do? I wont go near any of those seedy man-trap bars, thats for sure. I read, a lot, and play xbox with some of the other guys here & spend entire weekends watching movies sometimes. I cant wait to get out of here. Funniest thing is that all the other guys I know that were in Iraq would rather be there than here. At least there we had a real mission to accomplish and our commanders didnt fill us up with stupid, anally retentive rules to follow. That's about it in a nutshell.

*cough* Alan Keyes *cough*

If they didnt want to get involved and they were clean I can deal with that. God knows I dont want to go to some African s***hole and play policeman between two warring tribes *cough* Sudan *cough*, or stop a bunch of Bosnian morons from ethnically cleansing each other. The only time I want to go somewhere and get involved is when our national interests are at stake. People tell me "But that war was only about oil" and I say "So?".

There are dangerous people on the fringes of both sides. Some of the stuff from the most extreme right wing scares me just as much as anything on the radical left.

Why would we fight to protect Russia's interests? They can handle themselves. Or was this a question of "Would we fight to protect ( insert country here) interests?"
