Arlen Specter to switch parties
Why don't we just strip the letters after the names and run on those? The party lines are too blurred for it to matter anymore, so how about running on...dare I say...*gasp*...issues. In the grand scheme of things...nothing really changes.

Official 2008-2009 NHL Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) The Sedin twins.. they are a couple of pussies. To be honest, I think we'll do fine against Vancouver. They barely held off the Flames in their division, and only have home ice because of stupid rules that division winners get the top 3 seeds. Just because they are the 3 seed does not mean they are better than the Blackhawks... quite the opposite in fact. Hawks in 6. Plus, the 'hawks should be fired up after the hair-pulling incident from the last time these two teams played. I was very impressed with the way this team held back from taking stupid penalties after Calgary was trying to goad them into it. I hope the time off has cooled Luongo. 'hawks in 7.

Your tricks to maximizing your USCF experience
Step 1: Tailgate, if you have the means. Step 2: Buy peanuts OUTSIDE the park. Step 3: Buy beer BEFORE you go to your seats. Step 4: Brat with sauerkraut Step 5: Nachos Step 6: Sit back, relax and strap it down. On a related note, but not wanting to start a new thread...for those of you with kids...at what age did you bring them to their first game?

Does this bring it to 60-40 in the Senate??? If so, this is HUGE.

Bulls To Let Ben Gordon Go?
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 02:09 AM) And let's just pretend that Kevin Garnett guy being out is no real factor. Shhhhh...you're making too much sense.

4/28/09 Mariners @ White Sox - Game 1, WGN
Has there ever been a time where they push a game time UP? For instance, if the normal start time is 7:11, but there's supposed to be rain coming in around 9, has MLB ever pushed a game up an hour to 6? Just curious.

Not the Smartest Move
QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Statement from Louis Caldera, Director White House Military Office, on Air Force One flight over New York: "Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused." Someone in government actually taking responsibility for something...*passes out*

Skype as a Landline
Landline user here. Have the cheapest version...$15/month with taxes and all that other stuff. Only really have for 911 and family. No long distance...in fact, nothing over 10 miles goes through. Really only have it because my wife wanted the security of 911 when my son was born.

4/28/09 Mariners @ White Sox - Game 1, WGN
QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 02:11 PM) After a quick peak at the calender I believe this is their only trip to Chicago. Unfortunately for me, it looks like they are going to hold out on this game as long as possible because of that. It could be a long night in the bullpen sports bar waiting for this thing to start. And that's a bad thing, why?......

Wilson Betemit
QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) It was an awful trade at the time and continues to be horrible. The only way it can be considered good is if you look at it as a straight salary dump, as we got essentially nothing back for him. Really...you are going to judge a trade by 18 games? I'll just say I disagree and leave it at that.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 12:20 PM) This is a nice way to stimulate the "anti-flu" economy. Actually, that number is kept as low as it is by aggressive measures when a new strain develops. What may seem like an over-action, is probably appropriate. Look Mr. Smartypants...If I say it's an overreaction...IT'S AN OVERREACTION!!! DAMMIT!!!!

Wilson Betemit
Swisher wore out his welcome by hanging his head towards the end of the year. He was most definitely playing out of position, offensively and defensively, but he didn't have a place here not starting...and after last year, he wasn't going to start here. And fathom...I know you are a pessimist...but it wasn't a bad trade at the time. Give Marquez some time...he'll come around. JMHO.

2008: Approximately 21000 people die from the FLU. Not the Swine Flu...just the flu. Let's just keep it in perspective.

Rail Transit improvements thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) I-35 sucks. Bad. That Texas Triangle would be a great place for high-speed rail. Dallas - Austin - San Antonio - Houston. I've done that drive and I-35, I-45 and I-10...not so good.

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 08:39 AM) I agree with your premise that they are cherry picking what they want released, but the bolded there really is an unquantifiable claim. Not only that...but what administration DOESN'T cherry pick what they want released?
