More confirmation that VA is in play with Obama... Barack Obama could very well end up flipping Virginia -- a state that has voted Republican in every election since 1968 -- over into the Democratic column, a new Rasmussen poll suggests. The numbers: Obama 45%, McCain 44%, within the ±4% margin of error. A month ago, McCain led by a 47%-44% margin. This is on top of a SurveyUSA poll from a few weeks ago, which gave Obama a 49%-42% lead.

What happens when the water recedes? OUCH!!

The more I think about it, arent a lot of our "family recipes" really stuff we got off boxes 2 generations ago?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:18 PM) Let me lay this out for you. Reporters work for news agencies or networks. News agencies and networks are businesses. Businesses need to make money. Media businesses make money by drawing viewers/readers/clicks. You viewed, you read, you clicked, you cited. YOU are why that sort of thing gets researched. Without you, and others who gobble up that sort of thing (which to me is little more than Celebrity Gossip - The Political Version), this sort of thing would flop on impact, and die a quick and appropriate death. Ugh. true enough. I..well... i stand as a hypocrite and I vow to try my best to stop. It's really not something I like to do and frankly I dont knwo why i do it.

Obama on the internet.. an interesting take near the bottom of the article..

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) You posted it!!! i didnt research it. just thought it was funny she got busted twice. Reporters really need to find other things to worry about.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) Here is what I want know. Who in their right mind is so obsessed with trying to bring down John McCain that they spend time checking his wife's f***ing cookie recipes against various other recipe sites? I mean come on. Who the f*** cares? that's an interesting point. it is kind of scary that someone is RESEARCHING THIS! THere are more important things to worry about than cookies!

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) Wow, awesome job by both guys. yea. they BOTH deserved to win. I am not much for golf, but this was great to watch.

Rocco needs the putt to win...misses... Tiger the champion! What a day!

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) i think Tiger takes any drama out of the situation right here and nails this putt 2" short!

Might have missed this prior, but... Gore endorses Obama tonight and pledges to work hard to get him elected.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:02 PM) he gets the drop zone, he has to get this up and down to have any chance it needs to land within 6ft or he might be sunk

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 02:58 PM) Is this best of the three holes or one hole at a time? One at a time. Rocco's in deep trouble. Tiger can 2 putt to win.

Cindy McCain caught plagiarizing AGAIN! They try to make her seem "down home", but forget she is worth over $100 million and probably never really cooks.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) and.... missed it! Woods to putt for a playoff... again! Woods nails the putt!!! Mediate hits the short putt. Playoff Part 2!! Sudden death playoff of holes 7, 8, 18.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) Mediate to putt for the win.... and.... missed it! Woods to putt for a playoff... again!

Mediate to putt for the win....

This is going down to their final putts. This is AWESOME!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) If they decide this, we'll end up with the betamax of transit. Betamax > VHS

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:27 PM) Great line of quotes here, follow it through. SS2K5 is right, the market needs to go with this in the right direction. Balta is also right, in that right now, hydrogen needs to be generated through a process that requires power like any other - and the current power grid is still mostly fossil fuels. But, I think that having cars run this way is still a strong possible future solution. And even though the President shouldn't be promoting a single solution, I think the Prez and Congress can and should invest in many different solutions, and even non-solution-specific programs, that create a bunch of new tech. The ultimate answer will probably be distributed over many systems anyway, and we get to see which ones have what advantages and disadvantages. So, I'm psyched too, because this is a step forward on one of many possible solutions. I should make it clear that I am not against the president saying we should invest heavily in many options to se what works best. That is obviously important to do. The problem is there is little to no leadership on this.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:23 PM) For the president stepping in argument, I would like to point out that its best to let the market dictate where it goes. Its a capitalist market, the best invention will make the most profits (hypothetically). Just look at HD DVD and Bluray, the president didnt come in and say we all need one of them and dont buy the other, the market dictates who will survive. DVDs dont rule the transit of the masses. There ARE governing bodies that standardize and dictate TV/Radio broadcasting (imagine 2 different broadcasting standards trying to co-exist) and the internet (imagine if the internet was more than just TCP/IP. I'd be a mess)

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) I was reading from somewhere that hydrogen can be produced from solar power too? That is correct. As it stands today, hydrogen has the best potential of the "next-gen" fuels. But as was pointed out, one major breakthrough and the ballgame changes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) I don't want any President telling us what car to buy/build. The market needs to decide that, not the government. The market doesnt know where to go. And we can NOT have 5 different standards. There needs to be a single standard (2 if you include all electric) This "the market dictates" is great most of the time, but sometimes you need to have a heavy fist for continuity sake.
