QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 12:00 PM) Yea... which is why I posted MY FEELINGS. I dont think CanofCorn said you couldnt... personally i think this is an issue that has to be talked about regardless of whether you've "stepped into those shoes" or not. How many of the congressmen have ever had this experience to deal with? my guess is almost none of them if not none at all. But still these are the people that have this debate and must answer the question. given that, i see no problem in discussing it on this board where we also have most likely never been through the situation.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) As long as you have politicians who are a bunch of sore losers like Democrats you're always going to have divisiveness. Even though they are about as far out of power as they possibly could be they still think they can push their leftist agenda. If America wanted the leftist agenda they would vote leftists into office. They are incapable of proposing sensible alternatives to Republican legislation so they are reduced to stomping up and down and crying like a bunch of spoiled little toddlers who didn't get a candy bar they wanted. f*** them. As long as they want to act like they are acting then they deserve to lose. As long as they are the hypocritical assholes that they are they deserve to lose. As long as they choose to whine and cry about how evil Bush is and resorting to character assassination instead of a reasoned and logical argument then not only do they deserve to lose but they deserve to have it rubbed in their faces at every opportunity. you do realize of course that most politicians are sore losers and, unfortunately for you, that also includes Republicans. I know it's hard to believe. I almost fainted under the shock when I heard it the first time.

whats CSI?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 19, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) what are you talking about? If you are referring to the picture, I had no idea who either of those people were. When the thread started, I thought it was an early picture of carrot top before he started roiding, so I assumed Shawn White was the blonde "thing" standing next to him. If you can tell that is a girl, then kudos to you. So, Uh, there ya go, uh, man. woohoo i get a kudos! yeah but in all seriousness, dont take anything i say today too seriously... i had the longest most boring psych lecture in the history of the universe so i'm a bit... uh... weird right now... yeah...

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 19, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) Is that him in the picture with Carrot top at the top of the page? edit: Never mind. Carrot top and Shawn White look alike. I get it now. you uh... thought that chick was a dude? whoa man. take it easy.

QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Jan 19, 2006 -> 10:58 AM) I am just curious what White Sox fans and management want out of Crede since my general impression seems they are unhappy with him and his production in alot of ways. His batting % and slugging % are not too good so they probably want those things improved. For somebody who only got 430 at bats last year and will probably only get about 430 at bats this year, wouldnt 22 home runs and 61 RBIs be reasonable? After all that would translate into 30 home runs and 80 RBIs for somebody who was getting 580 at bats. He is one of the best defensive 3rd baseman in the league. So I am just curious what he would have to do, and improve upon to impress people and keep his job? well... um... as far as keeping his job... well... he WAS just signed a couple days ago so um... i'd say thats probably a good indication that he is um... keeping his job

does josh get a ring too?

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 09:42 AM) A curious form of optimism Jan 18, 2006 by David Limbaugh ( bio | archive | contact ) Unlike our president, who spent Martin Luther King Day paying respectful tribute to MLK and Abraham Lincoln, Democratic Party notables, Hillary Clinton and Albert Gore, used the holiday as another opportunity to character-assassinate President George W. Bush. Just when we were beginning to think Hillary Clinton had found her voice -- albeit a decidedly phony one -- as a mature, seasoned politician poised for a presidential run, she reverts to those cacophonic utterances that find little resonance beyond her embittered but indispensable base. If one could momentarily suspend his powers of discernment, he could almost sympathize with a woman saddled with the dilemma of trying to sound reasonable without permanently alienating that cabal of reliably unreasonable malcontents. But alas, Hillary obviously has no real beef with her base on principle, and from time to time, it insists she demonstrate her loyalty by paying homage to its cynicism and hysteria. During a speech at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, the fair-skinned wife of the first black president wasted no time proving her bona fides by exhibiting her penchant for negative hyperbole in critiquing the president and Congress. She said, "We have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism, we have incompetence. I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country." And, never passing up a chance for political exploitation, Hillary offered up some racially charged red meat to the Hurricane Katrina evacuees in attendance. She apologized "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you" -- a government, I suppose, she denies being a part of when it suits her immediate interests. But as regrettable as Hillary's remarks were, they were anemic compared to the rantings of that poster boy for instability Albert Gore, who, you may recall with horror, came within one state's electoral vote of being president. Gore, remembered for declaring that "there is no controlling legal authority" when caught with his hands directly in the middle of a fundraising scandal, was quick to call for an independent investigation into "President Bush's spying program," about which there truly may be no clearly controlling authority. Of course, Gore doesn't need to wait for an independent investigation. He has already concluded that "the president of the United States has been breaking the law repeatedly and insistently." Despite the incontrovertible fact that Bush briefed congressmen on his surveillance program, Gore shamelessly said he "secretly assumed that power anyway, as if congressional authorization was a useless bother." Further displaying his unique gift for chutzpah, Gore yelled, "A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government." He must be making exceptions for serial perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice and, yes, criminal violations of campaign finance laws. Indeed, this proud vice president under the president who made a sport of mocking the rule of law said, "It is imperative that respect for the law be restored." Then, picking up on the Democrats' latest mantra demonizing President Bush as a megalomaniacal dictator, Gore characterized Bush's attempts to intercept Al Qaeda phone calls for the purpose of protecting America's security as a "constitutional power-grab by the president." Continuing with this theme, Gore said, preposterously, "The president's judicial appointments are clearly designed to ensure that the courts will not serve as an effective check on executive power." I just have to wonder if Gore really thinks enough people are impressionable enough to believe that President Bush, who will leave office in three years, is appointing judges to augment his power rather than to restore integrity to the Constitution. And, though separate bipartisan commissions concluded the Bush administration did not pressure the CIA or other intelligence agencies to exaggerate their reports of Iraqi WMD, Gore brazenly accused the administration of silencing dissent, censoring inconsistent information and demanding conformity from all executive-branch employees. He said, "CIA analysts who strongly disagreed with the White House assertion that Osama bin Laden was linked to Saddam Hussein found themselves under pressure at work and became fearful of losing promotions and salary increases." After accusing President Bush of virtual tyranny and depicting America as on the brink of ruin, Gore closed by protesting, "I am filled with optimism that America is on the eve of a golden age … " Old Albert could have fooled me. He sounds more like George Bernard Shaw's description of a pessimist -- one who "thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it." Either way, I just hope Albert and Hillary continue to spread their contagious optimism between now and November 2008. do you not see this for what it is? this passage is exactly the kind of propaganda you guys get pissed about. The only difference is when it's a democrat saying it it's "bulls*** and rediculous etc etc etc" to think that an article like this has ANY more validity than the comments in either Clinton or Gore's speeches is just plain ignorant
