A-Rod Deal: Reaches Commisioners Office
Wow, WOW, WOWZERS...thats all I can say. It just comes to show that as a whole, rumors that get a ton of press, to me are less likely to happen. I think most deals go down within a few day span, when your hearing about them for week after week, it just means it ain't going to happen. Sometimes it will, but if the two sides were so close, it would of been done a long time before.

Kirk Fricken Hinrich
Hinrich is the man. I've backed WsoxShuf all the time on this. He's one of the best young players in the NBA. People can say he isn't an explosive athlete; but I respond with the fact that he's flat out a basketball player. And his stamina is outstanding considering he is a rookie and is playing way more games, back to back games, etc and is getting tons of minutes. Yes he gest worn out and he'll work on his conditioning, but compared to the rookies I've seen the past few years (not on the Bulls, I've loved his stamina). His attitude is great too and he's a very solid shooter, with the ability to become a great shooter. Let me ask this, how great of an athlete was Stockton, how great of an athlete is Peja (He is a hell of a shooter though).

This should dispel the Bush AWOL myths
Didn't she also go in the gunners or anti aircraft defenses that were being used to destroy our planes during the war. Protesting is one thing, but going out of the way to help a country not named the US is another. Like if someone from the States, went over and started doing bombings to blow up our soldiers, then they would be a traitor and in my opinion would never be allowed back into the states and if we caught them, they would be murdered and far deservingly. While Jane never murdered anyone first hand, you could easily suggest that she led to US soldiers being murdered and she did help the Vietkong. Apu protests the war, but he doesn't send funds to Saddam...to me there is a difference between good protests and what she did. I have nothing wrong with good protests (Remember, I am going off books and what I've been told by people I respect and work with that are knowledgeable since I wasn't around at this time).

This should dispel the Bush AWOL myths
What about Kerry's voting record. Maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't he say vehemently during the Clinton years that Saddam must be taken out and then he started changing his mind. I can't say that intelligence would be any different. Its hard to believe that Saddam, went completely around the UN Sanctions and the inspectors because he had already removed all the weapons or something along those lines. Whether we find weapons or not, I still have to believe they were there. Its just not logical for Saddam to cause all that trouble and get himself captured in the end if he didn't have those weapons or wasn't in the process of building nuclear programs. Also, why did he have to bug regions so he could get to areas the inspectors were going first. I just think too much doesn't make sense about the whole situation, but like I said, WOMD weren't the only reason I was for the war. While Bush may of had other reasons then I did, I felt my reasons validated going to war, even if the presidents reasons differed in certain ways, I still agreed with the final say (Whose to say my reasons were different then his, I just had different reasons listed ahead of Bushes or at least I presume).

This should dispel the Bush AWOL myths
Are those the same strings that were pulled to get him into Harvard and that got him through Harvard??? Harvard doesn't pull strings, and if you get through Harvard and earn your MBA and pass the rigurous courses then you are incredibly deserving to have a Harvard diploma and no idiot is going to do that. Also, no fool is going to be able to fly a jet which is what Bush did. I just don't get the dumb arguments and how strings were pulled. Sure the national guard was easier, but from what I've been told, they also did their time over in Vietnam (Although bush didn't). I also know people that during the war were lucky enough to be statiened in Germany and other places (and no, they didn't have any connections).

This should dispel the Bush AWOL myths
If he really did those things, then I definatley believe that qualifies for treason. How do people take this lightly. I don't give a damn if he protested the war, but when it comes to encouraging people to frag people and deserting (which basically means you dont' have enough men to fight and can lead to more deaths) is wrong. This is at the battle lines, not over in the states where if you desert your doing the wrong thing, but you aren't leading to more deaths. Let me also say I think the stuff about Bush being awol is off. He missed some meetings, but thats it.

Mono....
It could be the onset of the flu. haven't had mono though, but you probably want to go to the doctor. All I know is it takes a while to go away and from what I heard, it never permanently goes away, you alwyas have it, it just doesn't effect you (This could be one of those rumors that go around about things at school that are wrong though).

Kerry Campaign in Trouble?
I don't have the statistics but in one of my classes we discussed the vietnam war in depth and I always thought of the national guard as a do nothing position, but according to my teacher and the book during vietnam there were plenty of people in the national guard sent over and fought for this country there. Not saying Bush did, but I'm saying that just becuase you were in the national guard at that time, didn't mean you had a cushion position. I don't know if he went awol or if he didn't.

Kerry Campaign in Trouble?
Thats my problem. I'll admit GW made mistakes and that he definately had some personal flaws, but at the same time, while democrats will persecute him for those flaws (crackhead remarks, awol remarks) then when the side is flipped, its a non issue. This stuff happens both ways, but ya, to me it makes a difference when someones an adultery. I think of it as a dispicable act.

MVP Baseball 2004
The other game that looks really sweet is All Star baseball, but also ESPN Baseball (Sega's version). For me it will come down to ESPN and MVP though, both looks like they have some awesome features. I forget which one has a AA and AAA full with the team names and you can even play the AA and AAA games if you want. Thats probably the one I'll get.

The Simpsons Movie
Its nowhere near as good...I think the only reason I watch it anymore is for the name, although I do ocassionally chuckle. Thank goodness Monday through Friday you got the syndicated episodes which are hillarious. But Family Guy has replaced it as my favorite tv show and King of the Hill (new episodes) are pretty damn hillarious.

Moneyball strikes again
To be honest for the last hour I've been reading for school. My dad said he hasn't heard much about it, but he's been swamped at work. You were the first to tell me what was going on. Now I'm going to get back to reading (I can only read so long and then I start to notice that I'm about to fall asleep).

For Dodgers fans sake, they better hope that the new gm brings his ax with him because Tracy should be canned.
