QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 31, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) Hillary Clinton to be offered dignified exit That is the stupidest thing she could and HE could possibly do. Hillary leading healthcare reforms? We see how that worked the last time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2008 -> 07:34 AM) The only free hot dog is if Gage shows up... Nice.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:46 AM) He definitely needs to be benched. He's gotten WORSE as the season's progressed. He's lost, and now I'm honestly starting to think he was a steroid product. It's too bad that he's such a face of the team. That will definitely be a factor in him NOT being benched. There's something to Swisher's falloff, but I don't think it what you're suggesting. I think that he'll come out of it - one of the few I'd say that about on this time (unlike Konerko, although he always dogs April and May - I think PK only likes to work 4 months out of the year instead of six, personally).

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) Actually, she lost Texas, it later turned out. And that wasn't widely reported - now why is that? The press coverage of all of this has been so strange - and fickle.

Where have you been, Alex? Hope you have a good one!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 30, 2008 -> 10:16 AM) We must go back to the Island!!! You know, I hate playing teams that have a huge losing streak - because the law of averages always seem to catch up with the Sox. And, KC usually has our number for some reason.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2008 -> 08:36 AM) Further deflate the dollar? I somehow doubt they will do much of that, unless they were really in deep s***. Its already severely deflated, and signals have recently been that they are leaning back towards a stronger dollar policy. Plus, I think they'd rather have some banks and funds get their cages rattled, than do that. I think they've allowed the dollar to go as low as it's going to go. They have to pump back up the value of it, at least somewhat. So no, they won't print more money. Some of the small fish banks would have to fail first.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:52 PM) Why not? I'm asking why do you think that "big corporations" were pushing for the war, AND that they were loving GWB, as alledged by the article you cited.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 29, 2008 -> 08:20 AM) Read the full article Why? Ask yourself that, and let me know what you think.

Dayum... that's nice!

At first, I thought Hillary Clinton was at the Sox game, from the topic name.

I enjoy watching the show. It's (sort of) high drama because those guys take a beating and still keep on ticking. They're better then TIMEX.

QUOTE (DumpJerry @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) The individuals who caused that debacle last year were perma banned from WSI to a degree never seen before. We went to each of their computers and made sure all and any cookies were removed from them to prevent them from even lurking us. We then traded for some prospects that, by comparison, make the Carlos Quentin deal look risky. Awesome. I really hope I can fly in and make it - it was a blast last year...

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:37 PM) I agree, but I really dislike that whole "we're not aware of" reasoning. Seems as if we entered into a war or two based on "stuff we do not know about" and trusting leadership. Oh, I hear you, but I also think that (and I've said this for 5 years around here) there was/is more to the Iraq thing then we will ever know.

ok, now I just may have to show up so I can get back to back MVP awards... You all know my triple was the game breaker...

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) Votes? Public Approval Ratings? In my opinion, it's more related to interests that we're all not aware of.

I think that it's interesting that Bush gets no credit at all for trying to deal with North Korea by "talking"... do people ever stop and think that there are some reasons why we "talk" to some and not others? And, oh by the way, I'm sure that Iran and the US can find each other to talk, if the need should ever arise.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) That's really cool to see. I like the old original idea of throwing everyone into the pot, whoever gets the most votes is President, the second most is vice-president. You do realize that there is a constitutional amendment that changed that and more importantly, WHY, right?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:11 AM) they used to manipulate supply to keep prices in the $25 range. They were perfectly happy at that point. If prices had never gotten to $50, $75, $100, $135, it is impossible to think that they would have altered their pricing habits above that point. That for me is more the point. They are now getting paid $130 bbl. You think they ever will settle for $50 again? HELL no. We're stuck with this from now on, because even if demand really falls, they will cut supply to where they get $100 or so, which is "cheap"...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:23 AM) Nice win.....but Aldaron says the thread should be locked. Aldaron? Nice.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ May 22, 2008 -> 11:58 AM) Yeah, that might be too rich for my blood. Discounted tickets does sound better. And I'd probably be in for tailgating, but my Elton Brand injury is keeping out of commission for sports for a while so no softball for me. Damn, dude, I hope you get better. That sounds painful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2008 -> 06:19 AM) $134 $135 It's getting ridiculous. I mean seriously.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 21, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) Contrast that to one of millions of working Americans without insurance? Who can walk right into a hospital and still get seen for free anyway (as a government entity = public hospital)?

http://www.star-telegram.com/804/story/651928.html I think this article is very nicely written and explains some things. I look forward to next week's installment.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2008 -> 03:47 PM) Hmm. Maybe it doesn't. What time is the softball game? Our party was planning to tailgate before the Sox game. As were the rest of us, most likely. I'll have to see about trying to escape.
