Yeah Iowa passed one saying they had to be at least 500 feet away, they were 530 feet away. This was on Hannity and Colmes last night and Hannity to this lady that she is one of, if not the sickest person that they have ever had on the show and that says a lot. Both Hannity and Colmes agreed on this and they usually don't agree on many things. These people go around the midwest protesting funerals I assume. What I wonder is do they even have a job or how do they pay for it. Maybe they use offerings from the church, I don't know.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) This is so wrong on so many levels. Let's start with simple human decency, compassion, and empathy. I saw the protestors on TV and was ashamed that we are from the same species. I appreciate the ACLU fighting this on freedom of speech grounds, I hope they lose, and the resulting law is iron clad. And I can't believe this needs to be in the "buster". How anyone could possibly defend these "protesters" is beyond me. Well move it if you don't want it hear. You never know though.

Arizona Diamondbacks minor league pitcher Angel Rocha was suspended for 100 games Tuesday, the toughest penalty baseball has levied for a positive steroids test. http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/5496056

This happened in Ogden, Iowa. I can't care if you support the war or don't suppor it, I hope everyone can agree that this is sickning. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs...005/1001/NEWS10

hmmm in 2016 I'll be 30, not too old for it, haha.

I hear Panchero's the best. I'm gonna have to see next time I'm in Iowa City.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) The Bulls pulled out yet another close win. Unless the Raps can beat em on the last day of the season, we're done. Yeah, very questionable charge called at the end but Ben Gordan was on fire from beyond the arc.

I didn't know that Marcus Fizer is on the Hornets now.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) Sox now 2 off the league lead in walks. That's always a good stat to have. Especially since we have AJ and Uribe on our team. I don't think they like to take pitches too much.

I see Widger is 0 for the season right now, a hit for him in this game would be nice.

Come on Pablo.

QUOTE(shaneomacfan @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 06:57 PM) My apartment was hit, I'm across the street from where that sorority house is that they keep showing on the news channels. My car got the worst of it, with the bricks from the buildings around us smashing it up pretty good, and it was also picked up and slammed into the car next to it. I did see it form, and realized it was coming straight for our building and ran for cover on the bottom floor, since there's no basement or shelter. There was the whole freight train noise and then everyone's ears started popping so we knew it was for real. We were pretty lucky overall though, it could have been so much worse. Everyone's ok and the building's mostly intact, but it's gonna take a long time to get everything cleaned up. One of my high school classmates had something smash into their car down there. lol I was looking at someone's info on my buddy list and it said "Only Iowa can get a party going after a disaster." I thought that was kinda funny.

I had to go to school and work today unfortunately. It's hard to pick between Easter and Christmas because they're both equally important but if I had to I'd go with Easter because this holiday hasn't gotten completely out of text like Christmas has with presents, haha. Don't get me wrong, I love presents but obviously Jesus and family is more important in my opinion.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) I am honestly very surprised that list doesn't include what was, as far as I know, the deadliest tornado ever recorded - the Tri-State tornado. Ripped through MO, IL and IN in the 50's I think, killed hundreds of people, wiped numerous entire towns off the map. I've heard they think that it was a string or tornadoes and not just one now. Not quite sure on that one either.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) Also, I saw a tornado once in northwestern Illinois. It was during the late afternoon, only an FO and pretty small, but I had a clear look at it and it was for sure a tornado. Great experience, especially since the one I saw didn't do any damage other than kick up a lot of dirt. Yeah seeing a tornado is something I just wanna experience. Although I really hope nothing serious would happen to anything.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) Yeah I've actually been to Iowa for reasons several times and enjoyed my time there, there are far worse places to live. But damn, between the stuff I listed before, there are some bad sides to living there. I'm VERY happy to here most everybody is ok though, that's a hell of a cleanup job though. Well if I came from where you come from, then yeah I'd probably feel the same way. But with the tornadoes, I haven't ever seen one and none have really been close to my city yet, that could change. The winters are something I'm used to and the lifestyle I'm used to aswell.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 11:02 AM) On the 30th anniversary of the May 15 '68 outbreak, KWWL showed a video of the F5. Just this big wedge coming out of the sky. The picture in the paper my dad saved had 3 tornados. People badmouth it, but it really is a great place. Yeah it is a great place. Too bad I wasn't going to ISU next year, otherwise we could've met up sometime. Instead I'm going to UNI though. Who knows maybe I'll transfer there if I don't like it in Cedar Falls. Did you ever hear about the Charles City tornadoes in the early 60's? I forgot what the date was but no one there thought a tornado could rip through a river town because they have the Cedar River there. Anyways my cousion once talked to a lady whose house got hit by one of the three tornadoes that day. And a week or so later they got a message that her coat was found up by Austin, Minnesota, about 70 miles away.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 12:47 AM) Between the tornadoes, winter, Cubs fans, and lack of much of anything, I really don't understand why anybody would want to live in Iowa. Yikes, I hope everybody is ok, although it appears for now that the injury totals are low, but unfortunately the damage totals are high. But the fact that the only fatality I have heard about was near Muscatine and was just 1 guy is very good news, coulda been much worse. Iowa is a great place to raise kids. Some people like the peace and quiet. It's a farming state and will always be a farming state, but someone has to do it. That's what the midwest is noted for I suppose.

My friend lives in the Mayflower dorm and he called me while it was going on last night, they evacuated the dorms. Iowa's going to get a record in tornadoes this year. It's had an off the chart March and it's continuing in April. I've never seen a tornado but I'd really like to sometime.

The Blazers made the playoffs for what was it, 21 straight years??? Somewhere around there, that's real sad seeing them not have support.

Wow I really like this.

This immigration thing is twisted right now. It's not straight parties, it's a mixture.

Ahhhhhh this is a toughy. 1. Chicago White Sox 2. Kansas City Chiefs 3. Utah Jazz 4. Michigan Football 5. Michigan Basketball 6. Gonzaga Basketball 7. Tennessee Titans 8. Nashville Predators (I don't really follow hockey though.)

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 10:51 AM) They are ALWAYS together in the dugout. During ST, we were right behind the dugout, and Mark was getting a phone number for Garland from a very nice looking girl. haha I have a little story about Neal Cotts with the ladies. If someone wants to hear it they can PM me. But anyways with Mark, I can't blame him for wanting to go to his childhood team, this keeps popping up year after year so I think there is some truth to it. I hope he stays and pitches with the White Sox, but with the Cardinals being his favorite childhood team and the Cardinals being good and looking like they will for some time just makes it more appealing to play there.

I just saw a picture of Mexicans holding crosses and pictures of Jesus. Is that ok for them to do that, I think so. But if I ever went to go protest something and did that people would think I'm crazy.
