QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 05:32 PM) Betting on a Republican apologizing for wronging Limbaugh these days is a better payoff than the Stock Market. Less than 24 hours, every single time. I think "Pathetic" is a pretty good word. I thought I heard / read someone say that you are the leader if after you rip that person, you then have to go back and apologize and say you were misunderstood. I guess Rush is the man. This just keeps getting better and better. The Democrats are perfectly playing this. They pushed hard to brand Rush as the GOp leade, and some how it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Limbaugh is criticizing the President during a time of war. How dare he?!?! That's treasonous. :notworthy

Any truth to the rumor it'll be called Grinders?

A's, Marlins could be goners as contraction looms

Anyone else find it a little ironic that Rush is ripping Democrats for hoping George Bush failed... for hoping we fail in Iraq (both false by the way)... yet in the same breath says he hopes Obama fails?? Hypocrite watch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) For what seems like the 3rd time this week, the Coleman legal team has made an effort to prove that they are in fact more inept than the team that was prosecuting Senator Ted Stevens. They're caught trying to cover up a witness. And yes, this is still going on. The Republicans want to keep this going as long as possible so that it keeps the Dems from getting that extra vote (and they've stated so publicly and repeatedly). I think this latest stunt very well may have finally sunk them. this wont last much longer.

Couldnt decide if this goes in the Republican thread or not, but I decided to post it here because it's another example of the GOP implosion: Jim Bunning Threatens To Resign From Senate To Hurt GOP Another shinning example of Steele's new "walk the line, or we kick your ass out" mentality. Michelle Buckman added: "Mitch McConnell... You da man! you da man!!"

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) Really,wow I didnt know that. That sucks, Iam one of the very few that was a fan of that building and couldnt wait for it to go up. Via Wikipedia:

I thought this was applicable... A's pull out of Freemont move San Jose very interested in the A's... Portlan, Las Vegas, and Sacrament also potential suitors

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) It will probably match the Sphire(I think thats what it is called) that is going up alot better if its silver. which, for those that dont know, is on indefinite hold until the financial markets turn around.

I dont know about longer school years, but I'd be open to year round schooling. i work for a church / school and I knwo the school has toyed wth the idea, but we are synced in wth the local school districts... and rely on their bus service... so we cant change unless they do. I knwo the teachers love having 2-3 months off during th summer, so there might be a little bit of an uproar there, but nothing major. The summer is a great time to regroup and retool cirriculum. With that being said, the school I work for does testing 3 times a year to track academic progress and better aim their teaching (if a class is more advanced, they can step up to a harder level), and the September testing (after summer break) is always lower than the May testing (end of school year). The only logical reason is that students forget a lot over the summer and have to relearn some material.. and recalibrate to the school environment.

The Cell, the Urinal, and Coors Field... Coors Field is a TERRIFIC park by the way. EDIT: I was in parts of the old Bushe stadium in 8th grade (1997), and we were supposed to get a behind the scenes tour, but they were replacing the old terf, so our tour was canceled.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) I like the MLB.tv option, blackout rules notwithstanding. It's light-years ahead of the NFL. The thing is, it's not hard at all to "geolocate" people by IP address and stream ONLY their local coverage with local ads and all... as if you really were watching it on TV. Maybe then they have a payed version level for out of market games.

Very good points all around. One tangential point to this, the producers of LOST admitted they killed of Nikki and Paulo because the fans hated them and found them annoying. So, it is very possible they brought back Frank because he was likable.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) Maybe not so much the end of his career on the field performances, but maybe moreso his negative off the field image as his veteran career aged. He really wasn't too pleasant of a cat after his divorce and his agent passed. that's absolutely a factor as well. good call.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) Jesus, imagine how much sunlight that building would reflect. I'd hate to be working across the street. that was my thought too. And Airplanes coming into O'Hare

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) Your statement is somewhat contradictory. He was supposed to be the pilot on the first flight. He then still some how found a way to the island. He left the island. He was then on the return flight back, with the rest of the people who left the island. To me that suggests Lapidus was supposed to be on the island, some what like that film Final Destination. In that even though Lapidus escaped the islands first attempt (the plane) he still was brought there. You raise points, but let me clarify... it wasnt quite what I meant to say. He wasnt supposed to be there in the sense that the island is calling him... or his presence is being orchestrated by Dharma, the others, whoever. If he was supposed to have crashed the first time... he'd have been the pilot... but he wasnt... someone else was. What drew him to the island... if I recall... was him seeing the news report about the finding of O815. The pilot's body wasnt the pilot. That kinda set the tracks in motion. I cant account for him being on the most recent crash... but I think it's more coincidence and bringing back a character people liked. I dont think there is some larger meta construct around Frank.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:40 PM) Fixed that for you. No, not because I loathe the Cubs either... it's just a trendy pick. Hurt was the most feared hitter in the leagues for the better half of a decade, and imo the best player to play the diamond in Chicago history. agreed. I think some people view frank how he was post 2000, with his various injuries that really stalled his career.. But between 1991 and 1997, he was one of the most feared hitters in MLB history... not just Chicago. He had a string of seasons unlike anyone... ever.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) Why would Lapidus not disappear? He wasnt supposed to be on the island. In the first plane crash, he was supposed to be the pilot.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:19 PM) You would be a valuable asset to watch an episode with. Most of the time I am so caught up into the show that I forget anything that happened in the past. Oh I've my fair share of smack the head moments when I completely forgot something or thought "who the hell is that?" when it was an obvious characture or call back to a past episode.. But yea, I read a lot about LOST.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) Look at you Mr Details. i'm a bit of... well... a LOST addict. lol
