I will admit that all this bulls*** is just to bring back the "conservative base"... but hello, the conservatives DO NOT GIVE A s*** about this crap. You want to win the election? - SEAL the border, and screw that amnesty s***. One thing at a time. Make sure that the laws mean something. - STOP spending money like drunken sailors - ACTUALLY stand for something re: Iraq. Quit being pussies and get that s*** done and get back home. Do that, and you'll have even more of a majority then you do now. But as it is, they are pandering to every bulls*** special interest f***wad out there. Do not do the above, and sell your soul to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Uh oh... Roloson injured. If he's gone for any length of time, EDM's done.

What a f***ing game. This is absolutely incredible hockey - the best game I've seen in a long, long time - and that's saying something.

Dallas is just trying to be a big city.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) Its just another attempt for Indy to try and act like a legit city. :rolly No it's not. OMG, THE BIG TEN B-BALL TOURNEY IS IN INDY, NOW IT'S A CITY! That's comical.

And that information when it is SPECIFIC TO A PERSON - is granted a warrant. Otherwise, it's a block of data that's simply sorted through.

It's called NCAA HQ right down the street.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) Non-US citizens do not enjoy rights protected under the Constitution. Yes, they do, if you're an ILLEGAL immigrant. :rolly

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 04:11 PM) I put out my arguments on this a few weeks ago when that news hit. In short, I believe the due process protections in regards to warrants cover phone data, and even if they didn't, probable cause would. There is no viable cause for collecting all phone data. There just isn't. So why was it "ok" 10 years ago when echelon was going on, but now it's not?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 03:57 PM) A gun owners' registry would come in handy for a lot of crime too, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that. And neither would I - because its unconstitutional, just like the phone database. Oh is it? Why is it your "God-given" right to have a phone that can't be cataloged? Explain to me how it's unconstitutional to have databases...

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) Exactly. And these are Republicans proposing the votes too. The ones who supposedly like small government. Yet another sign that there are two distinct GOP animals now - those who really want small government, and those who want to force their moral choices down our collective throats. The latter are the ones that make the GOP look terrible. I know it's Republicans that are proposing this. And they are flat out wrong.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 11:46 PM) I am uber-pissed right now. I just found out that worthless station, OLN, is running the first two games of the finals. Whoever in the NHL heirarchy is responsible for this should be strung up. This means that I cannot see the Canes first two home games; I will be following them on the game threads on the canes message board and listening via radio (on the internet). OLN, in theory, should have been a good agreement... but OLN's rights are not available on most of Comcast's competitors without them paying a huge premium. It's my understanding that when OLN revamps to its new name and form, that it could be available on more lineups in the fall.

I just want to see David Stern's constipated look when he has to hand that trophy to Mark Cuban. That will be PRICELESS.

So I know there's some Sox fans around here (in Dallas/Fort Worth area)... how many of you are planning on going next week to catch a game? At this point, I have class on Tuesday and Wednesday night, so those two nights are out. The best chance I have at a game would be Monday night, but I haven't gotten tickets yet. So who all is going? Kap

This one pisses me off. STAY THE **** OUT OF OUR LIVES, GOVERNMENT.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) I don't understand what the big deal is. The world didn't end on any of the other centuries when this date came up. oh but this is different. It's 06 - as in 2006 - 006... Convincing aren't I?

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 08:08 PM) No one is running away from the Indians. Doh. I really meant to say Cleveland. No. Really. I did.

The answer for CF is NOT in the minors.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) You know what the Sox remind me of right now? The 1999 Cubs. That team was just off winning their division in 98, got started pretty well out of the gate, were 32-23 on June 8th. Then they came in for a 3 game set with the White Sox, were swept, and absolutely fell apart. Went 1-10 for a stretch, gave up, and wound up the season 67-95. As scary as that is, you're right. The Cleveland series last week might be the start of that. There's a lot of games in the next two weeks that are pretty important. They need to find their edge, and in a hurry, or Detroit will run away with this division.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) How do teams like Toronto and Texas ever lose? Both teams seem like their hitters know every pitch that is coming. /grabs my laser pointer for the Rangers Series next week

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) DJ is ripping on him. Today's game is the type of game that will get Mackowiak more playing time. He might not be good on defense, but the organization feels he plays the game the right way. And games like today is why BA shouldn't be on a major league roster, at least not right now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) I hate the bickering going back and forth between Ozzie and McCarthy about relieving. Well, to me, it's about the communication (or lack thereof) that McCarthy's getting. He's told that he's in the BP, then he got a spot start, then they tell him that he may be used in that role and sits and rots, and now he's supposed to be king reliever again... make up their f***ing mind... and he'll be more adapt at his role.
