QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) What you've got to realize for a moment Tex is that they're both part of the same problem. In both cases, the people who have run the government, especially for the last 30 years or so, have preached a philosophy where you can have your tax cuts and nothing will ever fail because of it. I've seen the same documentary. When you aren't willing to pay higher taxes for anything and rail against that horrendous "Waste", what gets cut? Things like dam inspections, road repair, upkeep of levee systems, updating of the electrical grid, etc. Evil motherf***ing Republicans.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 31, 2010 -> 01:56 PM) All of Huffpo's headlines are ridiculous. They forgot to superimpose George W. Bush looking down from the heavens onto both pictures - while photoshopping in the devil horns.

Whether it is or not (which remains to be seen), this is "clearly" Isreal being ultra agressive (to clarify, they're "wrong" here - again, whether they are or not). I think they learned it from George W. Bush.

The only thing that is going to help is a 18-8 ish type of June. And we'd still be at least 5 games out. You gotta get it under 5 games before July 1, then you give yourself a chance. They are starting to come out of it, yet, as many of you have said, they stunk so bad coming out of the gate that it's going to take at least .600 to catch up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) I am self admittedly not a scientist, but doesn't oil float on top of water? Yea, that's his point, but then why are we having all these studies that is saying oil is staying well below the surface? Even "heavy oil" would come up I would think.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill_plumes Ok, I say he's full of s***, yet, I can't disagree with the density of oil. Question is, though, are they changing the density and/or chemical composition with the dispersants?

They had a graphic on saying if there is a big hurricane to go east of the oil spill site, it could be the best thing that happens as it would blow a huge offshore flow and disperse a lot of the oil. On the other hand, if there is a big one that goes west of the slick, it would push the flow right on shore. I think we all need to hope we get enough of one that limits damage but goes east of the spill (that would be the Fla. panhandle).

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 30, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) Balta's got some safe, clean toothpaste and children's toys to sell you. Oh, and some great land by an electronics recycling facility. And some food for your dogs and cats. Also, employment opportunities for your small child. kap is equating China with socialism and then trying to tar balta's position as "you want us to be China!" He does. Their system works better, he said so. Our market is obviously too greedy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) I believe he also said they were doing everything they could, right? So, if that's true, he needs to never leave the coast, because that's the only way BP will keep paying the cleanup people. Really? They can't do anything without approval from our "boot on the neck" Obama administration. Your president told us so.

Oh, I think it's funny to see Torchetti's big egg head back there. "He's da coach, he always take me off da ice too much".

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 29, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) Chicago usually does an incredible job of limiting shots. I am pretty sure they led the NHL in giving up the fewest shots per game. I don't know if it was nerves or something Philly did, but guys were out of position all night long tonight. I think they were trying to play the puck too much - which is an experience thing - they were trying to do too much. They settled down well in the third - as I said, possession will do that for you.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 29, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Yeah, like I can't really identify WHY exactly it was bad because I'm not educated enough, but you usually know s*** defense when you see it. The positioning was terrible. The defenseman were coming down too low and not picking up coverage coming up the middle.

BP's not in charge, your president told me so.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 29, 2010 -> 09:56 PM) I hardly ever watch hockey but I tuned in to this game - is the Hawks defense always that poor? No. Most NHL defenses are way better then this.

Huge win... they settled the game nicely by possession.

Big faceoff here...

Nice glove there...

Neimi is going down more then ... yea. Anyway, he's going to have to prove he can stop that high shot as the series rolls on.

Other then the last minute, the possession game of the Hawks in the third has been outstanding. You want to settle the score down? Keep the puck.

The defensive positioning is about as bad as I've seen for both teams. This isn't "wide open", it's about missed coverage. Neither team is dropping back to pick up the odd man pinching in or coming into the slot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) If the government-done estimate of 2-4 Exxons was right (and frankly I'm still skeptical but I can believe that more than BP's number), I was somewhat hopeful it might be still small enough for Florida to be somewhat safe. If it keeps rolling for several more months at that rate, or even worse if the mix becomes more oil and less gas as the reservoir starts to deplete, then it's gonna coat the whole bloody coast. Losing Louisiana is bad enough, but I really liked Florida too. I once watched a Shuttle launch across the Gulf from a west-facing beach near Panama City at 6:00 a.m. on a Geology trip. Sigh. That beach is gonna be lost. This goes from bad to worse.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** F*** *F*** F*** F*** F***. Really, there are no other options. They'll try stuff, but this was the one that had to work. This will be going until the relief wells hit. This one was a 50/50 shot at worst. The rest of them are 10 to 1 chances; it doesn't hurt to try, but they tried this one first for a reason. Well, I don't think any of us can disagree with this sentiment.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2010 -> 06:38 PM) So...you're admitting...you think China is what an economy with regulations on it looks like. And you wonder why we don't respect your opinions of what is "Socialism"? No, I don't admit that. YOU are the one that runs around claiming we need more regulation and government control on everything. You even posted how great their economy is. I'm claiming no such thing, you are.
