QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:04 AM) I played an entire season, getting 0 hits and had an OBP of slightly over .500 =] When I played park district ball before 6th grade, I did too! 0-23 with 21 BB. So, not over .500, but pretty close.

On the lighter side, i think I hold my grade schools record for most consecutive peep-rallies (3 or 4) in which i dribbled a basketball off my foot. Our Athletic Director actually applauded me when I actually DIDNT dribble the ball off my foot.

And to compare these two programs is really a stretch. CARS was largely put together in a hurry and rushed through as a quick and easy stimulis to the economy and auto makers. It wasnt instituted over a long period of time. Health care reform will take years to get all the various mechanisms in place. years to work out all the fine details of how the government will deal with insurers and doctors. CARS and Health care reform are two TOTALLY different beasts. And as it was pointed out, CARS was a MAJOR success. I have found it funny to hear the right say it failed because it was so successful it ran out of money. My brain hurts to try and figure out that logic.

Ok, someone please correct me if I am wrong. but CARS has only been in place actually running for around two months, correct? So, at best a deal hasnt been payed in under 60 days? OH THE HORROR! Seriously. 60 days isnt that long. Quite whining, you got business you probably wouldn't have gotten because of this. I'd be willing to bet a lot of these places dont pay their bills within 60 days as well. A lot of businesses dont.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 06:48 AM) Remember that picture of the black man holding the assault rifle outside a health care rally? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYKQJ4-N7LI...player_embedded Seems MSNBC carefully cropped the video of the BLACK man carrying the rifle and then used that shot as a launching point for talking about 'white people' showing up with guns. The full picture image is available for all to see, does MSNBC think that nobody has seen it? or do they think he is a white guy in blackface? Here is a clip of the same guy from the ABC station out there, which at least gets the whole guy in the shot, even if the incorrectly describe his gun as a 'machine gun'. Wow, you sure do like to get a little extreme, huh? They used that video because, while there were reports of about a dozen people packin' heat, his was the one that was most visible. It helped show what they didnt have video of. Because, ya know, those Fair and Balance guys over at Fox News have NEVER EVER in their wildest dream ever considered editing something Obama has said into the exact opposite by carefully cutting out parts.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) Criticizing American foreign policy while on foreign soil is un-American, or at best, "apologizing for being American" is it not? At least that's what we've been told, so... why is the right pretending Huckabee's criticizing of Obama's policy while in Israel as something else? ohhh good catch!

and the Bullpen implosion begins.

Hopefully the first of many.

Obama Set to Release the Hound: Joe Biden

Just a thought: Could Obama be "playing" to the center to piss off the far left to get them to mobilize and push through the health care reform he wants?

HA! I love it. I wonder if that women realized Frank is Jewish when she called the plan he is supporting a "Nazi Plan". I'd tend to think she's rather ignorant.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 09:34 AM) Let 'em carry. I think its pathetic and cowardly - they obviously can't get their point across in any other way, so they resort to intimidation via weaponry, the hallmark of someone who has already lost. But its perfectly legal, so, let 'em be. You start trying to take their guns away, and you end up making things much, much worse.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) No they won't. They're just going to have to be more intelligent. A lot of newspapers are doing ok, although revenues are down. The ones that are going bankrupt or shutting down are the ones that had owners who took out huge loans to expand or to do other things who are then having those loans come due in a time of more restricted credit and lower profits. The Trib would be doing just fine if it was still a publicly traded company. It's the massive debt they have from the sale that caused them to go bankrupt.
