QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 01:45 PM) Living outside Chicago as I do and only going to the Cell for perhaps 1 trip per year, I can tell you that only seeing it over a long period of time, it's become a MUCH better park from what it was in the early 90's. It's remarkable, actually. I think the green seats only help that. (I think I've been to 20 or so of the MLB parks thus far and can say that the food at the Cell is the best, without question. Nothing is really even close). WORD!! on the food comment. Comiskey is AWESOME on the grub. Really, on the inside (not talking about the OF, just talking down the lines) it's starting to look a lot like the Ballpark in Arlington, and that's not a bad thing.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 03:48 PM) The stories of fraud that are coming out of Iraq are legendary. Apparently there were millions upon millions of dollars in the CPA petty cash, and Bremer used to leave the key to it sitting on his desk. I dunno if its true or not, but could you imagine being the cleaning lady in his office and knowing that the key sitting on his desk while he's out eating a reuben could basically set you up for the rest of your life, and they probably wouldnt even notice the money you stole? This is a catch 22 for me. Again, if the money is going over, USE IT for what it is supposed to be used for. Otherwise, let's give it to the military people to get the job done and get out of there.

This from an email news article I get that usually has some good financial stuff in it. This has to be buttoned up. I know this is like the pork barrel spending we get here in the states, but if we are going to spend this much money, the work needs to get done.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) NM is about the swingiest of swing states actually. Doesn't much lean one side or the other. Certain parts of the state do. I don't know where she's at, though.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) Yeah, but if the GOP is the "Party of National Security" and the NM race is so close, isn't it interesting that she thinks her best bet is to say no to this administrations stance on national security at the expense of the rule of law? New Mexico is usually a Dem leaning state. And it really depends on where she is in New Mexico.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) Politicians? Lowery is 85 or so. He's not running for office anytime soon, which means any time at all. Carter used to be a politician, but what the hell would he have to "posture" for now? She took a strong stand against the Iraq war. I don't think it should be ignored just because she wasn't concerned with that alone. This was absolute political hackery and a mockery of anything that is right. Republican or Democrat, I feel the same way.

The Juggs thread is over. In case you wondered, the official results were a 29-29 tie. Isn't that nice?

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 10:10 PM) i love it. http://www.drudgereport.com/flash8.htm KING FUNERAL TURNS POLITICAL: BUSH BASHED BY FORMER PRESIDENT, REVEREND Tue Feb 07 2006 15:49:48 ET Today's memorial service for civil rights activist Coretta Scott King -- billed as a "celebration" of her life -- turned suddenly political as one former president took a swipe at the current president, who was also lashed by an outspoken black pastor! The outspoken Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ripped into President Bush during his short speech, ostensibly about the wife of Martin Luther King Jr. "She extended Martin's message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there," Lowery said. The mostly black crowd applauded, then rose to its feet and cheered in a two-minute-long standing ovation. A closed-circuit television in the mega-church outside Atlanta showed the president smiling uncomfortably. "But Coretta knew, and we know," Lowery continued, "That there are weapons of misdirection right down here," he said, nodding his head toward the row of presidents past and present. "For war, billions more, but no more for the poor!" The crowd again cheered wildly. Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: "It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps." The crowd cheered as Bush, under fire for a secret wiretapping program he ordered after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, again smiled weakly. Later, Carter said Hurricane Katrina showed that all are not yet equal in America. Some black leaders have blamed Bush for the poor federal response, and rapper Kayne West said that Bush "hates" black people. Developing... f***ing shame on ALL of them. And you wonder why these assholes lose elections? See this as an example. The HATE is insane.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) I can see him facing a difficult challenge in picking cereal to begin the day, checking his conservative book, "If you like Cheerios plain, you are right, if you like honey-nut you are left." Then grabbing the box of plain cheerios with a smirk.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:59 PM) I only know of one or two liberal administrators, and I'm one of them...... That's why we hate you.

/fog sets in ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... now it aaaaaaaaallllllllllll makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) You can't see where that came from? Sad. It's pretty obvious where it came from. Some weighing in claiming to be conservative. They obviously don't know what the word means so I had to spell it out for them in terms they might be capable of understanding. Here's some advice for you. Go to the IL GOP site & read the charter then do the same at the IL DEM site. Then decide what you are before you make a claim to the contrary. *sniff, sniff* Daaaaaaaaaaayummmmmn, what's that SMELL?

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) Oh sooo many possibilities... Quack, quack, quack, quack...... Juggs HANDCUFFED me!!

^^ Where the hell did that come from? Oh, nevermind, have to change the subject again.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Man, I'm too sober for this. I need to go take a walk along the ceiling. I stopped drinking my coke 15 minutes ago because I was about to choke and spit on my monitor so many times.

This whole thread is a mastercard commercial... Juggernaut getting pwned = priceless

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) You ruined it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) This is the best thread in a long time around here.

NOBODY QUOTE THIS ^^^^^^^ ... test time.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) It's about hypocrisy knows no bounds at SOXTALK. I have to put Steff on ignore so that I don't quote her posts & rip her a new arsehole but she's free to do whatever she pleases. Why? Because I'm a conservative that takes s*** from no one. Both in this VW & in the real world. A conservative wears a bulls eye on their back here at SOXTALK. So when they decide to load the gun to shoot back they get handcuffed. So my balls are caged & I have to respond with benign & friendly posts that post links. The only latitude I get is the right to take pot shots at libs & leftists in general & now this week we see clear evidence that some at SOXTALK aren't even man enough to handle that so they want to handcuff that next. So if that happens (and it hasn't yet) I'll revert to using ____. That's like the greatest extent of pussification a board can dish out. Yet I guarantee you someone will b**** & moan about that as well. It just goes to show me that the predominant political group affiliation at SOXTALK can handle what their wickedness compels them to dish out. Yeah! It gets downright disgusting at times. Which is why the ranks of conservatives aren't exactly growing on this board. HELL YEA!!!!!!! I'm a LIBERAL!!!! WOW!!! I can go post in the Dem only thread now!!! I'm sooooo excited!

QUOTE(Soxy @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) BWAHAHAHA to both of you guys. meeeowww... Soxy's in love... She's gonna jones out if someone leaves. We can't let it happen.

WTF? And if this is more then an oversight, why aren't more stories being made about this? Something doesn't fit here, and something tells me this is a very isolated incident.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) YOU HANDCUFF ME! TELL ME IF I DON'T PUT HER ON IGNORE I'LL BE BANNED & THEN YOU HAVE THE GAUL TO COME BACK WITH THIS? Not you personally of course but those who wield your power. So again if YOU WANT TO SEE MY BALLS then remove the cuffs! Handcuffs. woo woo woo...
