well it's clear that chico probably wouldn't have asked for much concessions on pensions.

I don't know, I bet Pujols brings in $30 mil for the cards in revenue.

Texas dems did that too about 8 years ago.

On BBC radio just now they reported that soldiers in tripoli told them that Qaddafi is holding their families in barracks as a way of forcing them to carry out their orders.

I really don't like blaming the victim...but really? What the hell are you doing there?

BBC has reports that Qaddafi has ordered the police to burn the dead bodies so they cannot be identified. We, of course, should support this however, because as Kap brings up, this might be lead to something worse. Than that. Like Iran having ships go through.

pedicures are recommended for those with diabetes.

what's up with airline food?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) There are actually 3 significant drop-offs, with Kansas City to Chicago being by far the smallest. The drop-off from Texas to New York is 59 points, the aforementioned "small" 27 point drop-off from KC to Chicago, and then a monstrosity of an 81 point drop-off from LAA to Seattle. I don't think these drop-offs are exactly coincidental in nature either. In the case of the first 4 teams, they all had mostly full-time DHs - Ortiz, Scott, Thome, and Guerrero. The next set - New York, Cleveland, and Kansas City - each had better players DHing, but lost some time for whatever reason, and also used it to give other players games off. The next 6 teams shuffled the DH position to give players days off and try to work matchups, and it would appear as though that concept simply does not work. And then the final group in Seattle just shows total offensive ineptitude. In summation, I think the Sox are very, very smart in going with a full-time DH. It will add to the overall effectiveness of the lineup and gives them an advantage over quite a few teams (and hopefully the Twins too...Thome has to fall off at some point, doesn't he?) Great post wite

Take heed top 40 rap artists lovers. **couch** Eminem and Jay Z **cough** This is what I'm talking about. i love the line 'talk to my therapist tell him all your problems he's f***in awesome at listening" for some reason that line cracks me up.

I wouldn't either if his written opinions were worth a damn.

props to them. I hope the elections in 8 months will be seen as legitimate.

what a provocative statement!

Really though, for his age? Impressive torso.

current is what this american life is on now, right?

I think it's a risk you take for AOL's vision. I think it's funny that one of the reasons people pointed to for the collapse of the news business was massive consolidation of ownership to a few huge companies, and before the online news business is even really getting going the same thing is happening.

clearly huffpo, for all it's SEO garbage, is the best revenue model as of yet. And it is the heart of AOLs new strategy
