QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) I was on the honor roll once. based on our last president, that makes you qualified to be president. CONGRATS!! Sorry, cheap shot. lol

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 01:40 PM) The overreactions cannot arrive soon enough. It's streaming!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) The Volcano Chaiten in Chile has responded to Jindal's speech by erupting 3 times in 24 hours. (Until 2008, that volcano was inactive for somewhere around 9000 years.) .msnbcLinks {font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 425px;} .msnbcLinks a {text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px;} .msnbcLinks a:link, .msnbcLinks a:visited {color: #5799db !important;} .msnbcLinks a:hover, .msnbcLinks a:active {color:#CC0000 !important;} Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy I love when geology gets into politics

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 01:11 PM) Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back. :P

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 08:30 AM) Anyone else feel that when the high holiness of the GOP, Bobby Jindal, WALKED in for his speech, it was as if he were the president walking in to make his address? I think every other "rebuttal" I've ever seen was with the person sitting down or already in the room. Hence the "Oh God" reaction, by Chris Matthews. I was right in why Matthews said it...

I love this little GOP talking point about the Stimulus and the LA-Las Vegas high speed rail line... it wasnt in the Bill!!!! Stop saying it was!!

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 08:25 AM) The online streaming audio might not be blacked out since it is only a spring training game. I was wondering that too. I cant find anything on the scores site.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) Finally saw Jindals response. David Brook's reaction is classic. For those who havent seen it:

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 09:55 AM) At least they put the newbie character Neil out of his misery after 1 episode in this season. that was hysterical. Poor frogie.

I majored in radio broadcasting with an "unfinished" minor in non-linear video editing from Columbia College in Chicago. I currently work as technology coordinator at the church i grew up in. My responsibilities include computer and network maintenance, website design and maintenance, over site of the sound and video ministries... and well, i deal with just about anything that gets plugged into a wall.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 09:04 AM) Yeah but has anyone seen his birth certificate? Jindal was clearly not born in America and no evidence will make me thing otherwise. I am the inverse Alan Keyes... and I have spoken.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 08:58 AM) I think you meant longitude. oops yes

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) Bring back Nikki!!! and with less clothes! lol JUST KIDDING In all seriosuness, Nikki and Palo sucked as characters.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 08:49 AM) I only saw the last 10 minutes of Obama's speech and didn't see Jindal's speech but my wife asked if he bothered to read/watch anything Obama actually said. most of the rebuttal speeches are written well ahead of the actual speech and at best are based on excepts. Jindal was a pure "red meat" speech.

Anyone else feel that when the high holiness of the GOP, Bobby Jindal, WALKED in for his speech, it was as if he were the president walking in to make his address? I think every other "rebuttal" I've ever seen was with the person sitting down or already in the room. Hence the "Oh God" reaction, by Chris Matthews. And by the way, Jindal is getting ripped by his own party for a lame presentation.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) How would Mexico City being in the Central make sense? Wouldnt Texas be in the Central, with Mexico moving to the West? They are both roughly at the same latitude. So, it wouldnt matter.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) The biggest concern is that two teams in the AL Central fold. Indianapolis has to be seriously considered as a replacement for one of those teams if this were to seriously happen. fold as in close up shope and cease to exist... or fold as in move to a new town?

I wanted to get a little debate in here before I posted my opinion... because I've never really had one on relocation. Having read all the various sides, i think i have one. lol City growth and decline change over time. Who would have thought in 1950 (when baseball moved west) that Las Vegas would be what it is today? Who could have imagined the complete implosion of the US auto market (Detroit)? Who could have thought New Orleans would be seriously considered for a NBA team and a baseball team... only to have the entire city leveled? (ok, maybe we saw that one coming). But you get my point. Things change. With that being said, here is my input: I think if there were a salary cap in MLB, that might help level the playing field a little to keep some smaller market teams in play, but it wont be enough to save franchises from towns that are sinking. Some cities are going through rough times... Phoenix being one. But, they have the potential to recover. Some cities have serious problems on a macro-level... Detroit being one. Some cities are stagnant... KC being one. Some teams just never took root, Marlins and Rays. So, while Detroit has history and may be sustainable for the short term, in the long term it may be screwed. They'd have to reassess in 4-5 years. So, in the short term, i could see cities like Marlins. Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Detroit needing to pack up shop. Tampa though is stuck in a nastly lease, so they may need to limp through unless MLB steps in and pays of the rent or fold the team. And the Marlins are in the process of getting new digs, so they may be there to stay. Those are a lot of AL teams, what about the NL? I see the East and West as "Stable". I dont knwo enough about Cinici and Milwaukee to speak of them, but they seem... ok. So, what happens? I can see temas moving to Las Vegas (not until the housing market turns around). I really feel that is a place a team can thrive. Portland is also an interesting option... and worth exploring. So is Charlotte... it's far enough away from the "big cities" on the east coast to be able to build its own local fan base. Drawing from Southern VA, Northern South Carolina, and all of North Carolina. I dont see new teams in San Jose or Silicon Valley unles the A's move. I see them moving "reagonally" rather than across the country. The San Antonio/Austin corridor is interesting, but i just dont see it working. Mexico City is a FACINATING idea. WOuld baseball be popular in Mexica City? I would be in favor of contracting some teams rather than moving because I think MLB (and many other sports) have over grown), but I dont see it happening. So, where does this leave us? Here is my projection for 10-15 years from now... EAST Baltimore Boston New York Toronto Charlotte (formerly Kansas City, Detroit, or Tampa) CENTRAL Chicago Cleveland Mexico City (formerly Kansas City, Detroit, or Tampa) Minnesota WEST Los Angeles Oakland (relocated to San Jose or Silicon Vally) Seattle Texas Las Vegas (formerly Kansas City, Detroit, or Tampa) EAST Atlanta New York Philadelphia Washington Pittsburgh CENTRAL Chicago Cincinnati Houston Milwaukee St. Louis WEST Arizona Colorado Los Angeles San Diego San Francisco Portland (Formerly the Marlins)

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) I wonder if they're going to replace Max with La Bamba as band leader. Max probably wants to stay in NY since he tours with Bruce. hmmm.... good question. I tend to think they are moving as much of the "core" as possible. I am still worried they wont let Conan be Conan. I fear he'll need to be more "grown up" in his comedy.

I suppose we can use this thread to talk all things "NBC Late Night" in the coming few months, but i thought this was interesting...

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) spoiler about appearance of character we will see coming episodes given the presence of the O6 in the past, this isnt a huge surprise.

Dick Durbin has asked Burris.. in person... to resign. Burris says he will not. Durbin added that Burris called Durbin months ago saying he was interested in the spot and Durbin told him "if this involves an appointment by Rod Blagojevich... dont do it. It's bad news"... he didnt listen.
