Its basically taking your own pettiness and projecting it through you child. I saw someone on Facebook vote in a "poll" asking whether or not schools should get parental permission first before they kids have to watch this speech. Seriously now, are we getting this petty? Do people really feel the need to teach their kids that some President, ANY President, "isn't their President"? Well, I'll try and be serious about this discussion. When I heard about this, it pissed me off. Obama projects himself everywhere. To me, it's ALMOST (yes, again, I'm trying to discuss this rationally) indoctrination for him to push himself into the class room. NSS, you did the right thing by putting that filter out there. And honestly, I would have the same trouble with this for GWB, or any other president. It's "campaignesque". OH COOL, OBAMA TALKED TO "ME". I just don't like it, period. And then that memo that went with it. "What can you do to help our President"... please. This is a calculated move to "be cool" and influence future voters. OK, there's no Kaperbole ™ for once with this post - that's my side of it, and it would be nice to "debate" this without the poo poo being slung.

Meh, I ain't worried, I never watch that network. In fact, you couldn't pay me to watch it, even unemployed. All they do is b*tch...

HBday!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) Really you had to go with the misogynist one? Ah, whatever works, for trashing MSNBC.

A professor I had in MBA school was associated with this somehow or another (business planning).

This proves why MSNBC or MSPMS or MSLSD is the stupidest network on tv, bar none.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) Sounds hands on. Or hands under, flashing some signs, if your name is Larry Craig.

They are also going to push the most pretencious (sp?) issues until January, unless they get someone to seat Teddy's old seat. They're slowing down because they know if they use reconciliation there's going to be TREMENDOUS backlash and they don't have 60 votes anymore. That's the main reason - they don't have the votes and they are now going to "slow down". Imagine that.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 02:21 PM) Or we could spend a few hundred billion dollars in rounding them up and destroy our agriculture industry. Until I see a whole lot of unemployed Americans rushing to pick crops in Idaho for four weeks, or work at a processing plant, I'll support a guest worker program that gives them only limited benefits. Using the same system to bring in a $100,000 programmer or accountant, as you would to bring in a $14,000 temporary farm labor, is kind of silly. You bring this up every damn time. And it's now a fallacy - Americans WILL do it. f***, I might have to pretty soon, and I'm not joking. There's no other jobs. Second, as Alpha commented, and I have repeatedly and repeatedly, guest worker programs are fine. But then they will not be subject to health care availability, nor should they be.

The only thing good about what's left of this season is right now - the last two games of the damn Humpme Dome. Good Riddance.

He's still a hack.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) And if we know just where the 'non-legal' people are, at least of the 'illegal' variety, can't we then go and arrest and deport them? If they are allowed into the plan at all, we shold know who they are and where they are at and then be able to return them back across the border. Now why would we do that when the government intends to legalize them all so they are all a big voting block for the Democrats? Come on now. If they're in the plan, all the more reason to stay until they're citizens in one fell swoop of the quill of Barackus the Great.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) I think you may be alone on that one. I picked him with my 16th and last pick in my league. I figure, take a chance. But I don't think he's a long termer.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) Just remember Carl Everett >>>>> Jim Thome especially when it comes to hitting prowess (at least Everett could take the ball the other way) and defense from the DH position. We'd have won at least 2 more Championships if it weren't for Thome. Aye. Ouch.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:37 AM) I don't think illegal residents should qualify for federal subsidies for these plans. What the hell are you arguing about? PFffffffffffffffft.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) You see what you want to see. And so do you.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 05:31 PM) I blame Soxtalk for getting too emotionally attatched to this team. They couldn't handle the insane amount of pressure we put on them. In reality I think blame goes around to everyone. You win and lose as a team. Everyone is to blame for a loss and everyone is to be cheered for a win. Obviously it's not always black and white like that. But you do win and lose as a team. Changes need to be done throughout a season and besides trades, not many changes have happend with this team. They've been terrible on defense all year, overall the pitching hasn't been good, the batting average has been low all year, the way the team approaches situations with baserunners has been terrible too. We're two games under .500, meaning we're basically an average team. You have the 2,000,000th post in soxtalk history. Woot! How do you feel to have won the "you get pointed out" game?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) s***, I was only a kid during Carter anyway, so my "memory" is more from study in college or after, not from 30 years ago. And aren't you older than I am, Older Ass? Damn, you were supposed to forget that. Damn youngin's.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) I'm not sure, but just because the deficit and Obama have driven you absolutely bonkers Sotamayor is not underqualified. And just because you think being a liberal (however you are defining that incorrectly nowadays) is a bad thing it's not radical. And she's not more "liberal" than Ginsberg for f sake. And by arguing that Obama is continuing to run up the deficit, continuing to oppose gay marriage, keeping the same economic people as Clinton you are admitting that Obama is not radical at all. Shyte policy... sure whatever you say Kap, but radical, far left? That's just a horse's arse. Sure he is. I'll tell you something, and I mean this one. The best thing to happen to Bill Clinton politically was 1994. He got his ass kicked on health care, and the GOP took over congress. That lurched him right, and he did some damn good things. That's what SHOULD happen. Welfare reform, deregulation, and getting the budget in balance were huge, and he had to go along with the GOP to get it done. Would Obama reach out like that? Indications to this point are no. But he hasn't gotten politically shot down, yet. But he will.

Jim Thome = CLASS. Get that ring, big man.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 08:12 PM) the post your responded to was in response to genius, who was responding to my question about visas/ greencards I thought I was talking to Rex. I'm SOOO confused. Visa issues are pretty complex, and working for an int'l pharma company, they come in all shapes and sizes, to be sure. The agreements are all over the place on those regarding all benefits.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) no, I asked genius about people with visas and greencards. Different agreements with different issues.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 06:52 PM) But they pay the same taxes as citizens. Riiiiiiiiiight. Remember, we're talking ILLEGAL immy-gants.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 04:23 PM) Yah so radical to be opposed to gay marriage. So radical to add troops to the Afghan conflict. So radical to reappoint Ben Bernanke to chair the Fed. So radical to appoint John Huntsman Jr. to be Ambassador to China. So radical to be opposed to trade sanctions against countries whom do not undertake similar efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So radical to cut taxes for the middle class. So radical to appoint Sonia Sotamayor to be a Supreme Court Justice. He's a pretty standard Democrat as far as I can tell. Of course I realize now that we'll never agree on this. #1 - so what. Status quo. #2 - I don't think he had a lot of choice. Larry Summers? LMAO. Paul Voeckler? Been there done that. #3 - so what. That means something big? #4 - LOL. That's a non starter because India and China are laughing their asses off. Say one thing and do another, and there's no power to do s*** to stop it, meanwhile, cap and trade, er raise taxes on every American for their energy, baby! #5 - wow, no s***? Seriously? That's really exciting. How's that $5 a month doing for everyone? Big Mac, anyone? Er, uh, McRoyal and Cheese? Er, um, tofu for the vegetarians here. That's laughable he gets to say he cut taxes for the middle class, while creating the largest deficits BY FAR in the world's entire history. #6 - she's the most underqualified POS nominee just about ever, Harriet Myers notwithstanding. And she's a straight line liberal. Straight line Democrat, baby! Let's lob some missles at Iraq. Oh wait a minute. (yes, I'm kidding).
