Poll Tests! Everyone should be able to vote. I know this board doesn't think poor people should be allowed to vote without severe restrictions, but just because they have low access to information doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

That's absurd!

how many pages was the debt compromise?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) Too bad they didn't announce Frank as the new hitting coach during the ceremony. I still don't think Frank would be a good coach. He wasn't really a people person.

in other words, white sox baseball.

what's the post-school grace period?

i'm not downloading that.

It's just a way different dynamic in the Republican party. In the democratic party, nobody has more power than Sens. Nelson and Landrau, and the blue dogs in the house. Since no republican will vote for a democratic bill, the moderate dems run the day. The republican party has the opposite problem. Their moderates are more a danger to them in breaking with them and voting dem, but they will pretty assuredly vote republican. Dennis Kucinich voted against the health care bill for it being too moderate, you pretty much have a bunch of him in the republican party so they are a solid voting bloc that has a lot of negotiating power.

That said, i personally like having a separate ipod for entertaining. It's ridiculous when someone uses their phone for a playlist. NERD.

Amount of power dennis kucinich has in the democratic party:

I must have missed the part where the president is suggesting only raising revenue.

halladay.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) He gets benched. So they are going to sit Mr. Salary for a hungry kid. Maybe their plan is to suspend Rios if he acts up. Can you suspend a guy and not pay him if he becomes a detriment on the bench? No free agent would ever come to the white sox ever again.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) Its a terrible package in theory, unless Rasmus just falls off the earth somehow. It does seem odd that no other offer was better than what they received though. Why is that? Because they have a terrible GM? Seems to me that word leaked out pretty early that they were looking for a pretty reasonable package.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) Kevin Goldstein. http://twitter.com/#!/Kevin_Goldstein And it was one thread on a s*** Cards board thats not even populated. Its not a good deal for them, but you still cherry picked the posts that proves your point of hating KW and the Sox. And still you wont follow up on your statement to take a break from the Sox and this board. All talk no action. You love to be as miserable as possible. I went to school in missouri. None of my friends are happy. Regardless of whether they "liked" him, absolutely all of them would rather have kept him than received this package.

out.

I think he meant "1 billion" per season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:28 PM) For this year. Going forward? I smell an early 90's like run by them. This is no hyperbole. AA shredded two of the top 5 worst contracts in baseball, fattened up their system, and got a stud 5-tool CF for two relievers and a #4 starter. He's done this in like two years. Honestly that is an unbelievable 2 year run.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) Yeah why would KW sign Dunn knowing full well he would hit .160 What an idiot!!!!! Yeah...dunn is the only problem, isn't he.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) Lash out at Jerry or the players. Jerry gave the sell order, and the players are the ones who sucked. Yes, don't lash out at the person who put together the team.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:55 PM) Jays fans are probably pretty excited about getting Rasmus. However this will certainly die back down when they realize they have zero shot at winning their division or even making the playoffs any time soon. I know the feeling.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 05:59 PM) Also, someone tell me why I should sell the farm for an OF that has 1000 PA, mediocre power, run production, batting average, etc. that also is a below average fielder according to UZR? Yeah, toronto really sold the farm.
