QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) SOX was not related to this. SFAS 157 (and formerly SFAS 109, IIRC) are what cover the fair value disclosure requirements and neither are related to SOX. This is semantics but SFAS 157 was a direct result of the mess that SOX also came out of. His point is valid even though he had the technical standard wrong. Of course this gets into the whole big ass post I never posted for 3 years about fair market valuations and mark to market, but why would I post that now?

They may end up paying... but when people aren't making payroll, it's pretty damn serious and they will not be in business long.

You will never see that money. If they are that far behind on payroll, they've already gone under. The owner is sucking money out to bankrupt it.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 08:14 AM) So the reason you are concerned with the attendance has to do with KW's job security? If the Sox continue to contend he deserves to be back regardless of the attendance. Well... I would think that as a GM that he's supposed to be responsible for putting butts in the seats, not just player personnel, no?

It is? Downtown Ft. Worth has changed a lot and it's a cool place to just kind of hang out. It's very laid back. All beer snobs must go to the Flying Saucer.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Any of you Chicagoans eat at Texas de Brazil? I understand that there is one in town and one in the 'burbs. I've been hitting one up in Memphis that is hands down my favorite restaurant, but I heard one of the Chicago area locations isn't as good. What do? The one in Fort Worth is just sickeningly good. It is one of the originals.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 06:07 PM) Very true. It shouldn't be nearly as frustrating for Democrats as it is for Republicans. For every dollar spent by the Democrats in Wisconsin over the last couple months, Republicans spent 8. I keep seeing that $# thrown around and it's just plain bulls***. It's now an Obama White House/DNC talking point that's just wrong.

I saw some articles in the local paper about this kid... he's in the town next door to where I live and in our district for high schools. From what I have read locally, he's a very good athlete. Of course the prospect report says that but he played in a pretty competetive environment and did very well from what I have read. Sounds like a kid with a lot of upside...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) Obama is a failure. His policies failed. Not for the same reason you or jenks think. Yea, he's a centrist. Good lord help us.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 11:36 AM) You're right, if you include January 2009 for Obama, unemployment has gotten "worse" under his Presidency. If you use February 2009, it's improved ever-so-slightly. Do you think there's anything that anyone could have done starting on 1/2/09 to prevent U3 from reaching 10% in late 2009? By your jackass, er I mean, president's own words, May 2012 unemployment with his original stimulus was to be 5.7%. WTF? I mean, it's gotten better!!!!!!!!!! Give it a rest. The guy is a complete failure, by his own goalposts.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 3, 2012 -> 08:14 AM) Jesus christ why are people giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars? Because he's gay. I'm sorry, I had to say it. And yes, it's a joke.

And the banks keep right on buying without an effect to their capital ratios. Hello, bigger bubble then 2008.

Steve-O, good work. Do you want to see if you can match up the gray and re-shoot it?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2012 -> 11:22 PM) Peavy is up after this year, why drop a guy pitching like an ace when you're the hottest team in baseball? You are a f***ing joke. You are a f***ing moniker. I do not believe you are actually a White Sox fan, you just take an unpopular stance, add "World Series 2005" and fake it. F*ck, cut it out. The last thing the White Sox should do is trade Jake when he's outdueling Felix f***ing Hernandez and we're in 1st place and EVERYTHING is going right. Good lord, calm down.

LEGAL immigration is fine. No one has a problem with that... except there's no damn jobs anymore because the economy continues to stagnate because someone's policy is to suck all the money out of the private sector and run it through the government every way possible. It never works. Mao says hi.

Why are you wasting my time on failed policies that never work? Your messiah is a failure. Admit it.

It's BUSH'S FAULT. Obama's been passing jobs bill for 3.5 years now... I thought the stimulus, stimulus II, stimulus III, etc. was going to work? Yea, it's everyone else's fault - including the 435-0 and 99-0 votes against the messiah's budgets. Welcome to Utopia, where everyone is equal. Mao says hi.

Yea, when are you sheeple going to admit your messiah is a failure?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 31, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) 1. Everyone knew Rios was a bum and that he would likely be a bum again this year. 2. Ozzie will be the NL manager of the year. Davey Johnson says hi.

This could be a good one tomorrow. Seattle's hot... but then again, Tony "the world's best loser" Romo threw out the first pitch last night, that's why Seattle scored 3 TD's against the Rangers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Actually...that's pretty funny. I wish he would go to jail, he should, but the law really is just that pathetically weak. Yes, it is, and I think the laws that he was tried under are much less stringent? In fact, in reality, he didn't break a law as I read it so as much as I cannot stand the sleazebag, he was able to skirt everything (again, literally). But he is about lower then pondscum.

They won't. The motherf***er of all motherf***ers gets off. Literally, in so many ways.

It's interesting that banks are being forced into buying up treasuries but the rules are now changes so that it does not count it against their capital. Can you say, collapse? This, in and of itself, screams epic fail for you Kensians out there.

Slav, you hit on something I want to ask people here: What is networking to you, and what do you find to be the best methods to do so?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) I wonder if he is ferociously cute? Only his penis, and hopefully heads doesn't know that.
